Dearest Flocke, what a beautiful bunny you are! You're an absolutely gorgeous Dwarf Rabbit, with that colorful fur coat, white with light brown spots and grey-brown stripes, and that sweet face with those lovely big blue eyes. You have many favorite foods, and you don't like to go to the doctor. You and your dear person play together each day, and she/he holds you and strokes you. You're awake at night, sleeping at mid-day. You flit joyfully through the garden, and you enjoy relaxing in the flower bed. You and your person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Flocke, 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, and some special salads, carrots, fennel, and lots of dandelions!

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