Dearest Shoshanah, what a beautiful young Llama lady you are! You're so pretty with that curly, colorful, soft-looking wool that your dear person spins. You have the sweetest face with those perky ears and lovely big eyes and what looks like a big smile (and probably is!). And what a delightful personality you have, too. You are the first llama girl born on your family's farm, so you're spoiled! You follow your person around when she goes into the barn to do chores. You nuzzle her pockets to find if she's carrying any peanuts or carrots. You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Shoshanah, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, with a special serving of unsalted peanuts in the shell!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
