Wonderful Wolly!
Dearest Wolly, you are wonderful indeed, absolutely adorable! You're such a cute little Guinea Pig with that long, soft-looking grey and white coat and that sweet face with the cute pink nose and those lovely big blue eyes. You have the most delightful personality, too! You're very sweet and clever. You understand your name, and you answer "Quiek, quiek!" when your dear young friend calls your name. You enjoy climbing over the small guinea pig houses, stones, and little branches. You also like hopping around in your nice cage. You live in a big guinea pig family with your three dear brothers, Jason, Wicky, and Purple. Your friend and his/her father built you all a great treehouse in the garden. Your favorite activity is eating, and you also like to cuddle with your friend, who strokes your and combs your nice long fur every day. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Wolly, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear young friend and Jason and Wicky and Purple and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, with cucumbers, peppers, carrots, apples, and a special serving of lettuce!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
