Dearest Austin Powers, "International Bun of Mystery," what a beautiful Dutch Rabbit you are, settled so comfortably there! That soft-looking grey and white fur is so pretty, and you have the sweetest face with you looking straight out at us. You have the most delightful personality, too! You're a very lively, very smart, and extremely cute bunny. You and your dear parents met and then adopted each other at the House Rabbit Society last July, and we thank those great people of the Society for rescuing you. You are a great example of the terrific, precious friends to be found at shelters, and we thank your parents for choosing rescue! You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Austin Powers, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear parents 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 graham crackers and a carrot!

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