Dearest Jubilee, what a gorgeous Connemara Pony you are, with that white coat and mane and tail with touches of gold, and that sweet face with those lovely big dark eyes. You are absolutely beautiful, and not just in appearance but also in spirit! You're sassy but sweet at the same time. You joined your family when you were quite small, so your dear person's sister could learn to ride. She loves you and has enough skill to control you. You've all been together some twelve years now!
You've been in many clubs and summer camps helping little girls learn to ride. You seem to know to be good when you've got inexperienced riders. You know what you want, and you do what you're told. You and your family members all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Jubilee, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and sister and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
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.
