Dearest Louie, you are adorable indeed! What a beautiful Basenji you are, so pretty in that great photo, and thank you for sharing it with us. Your multi-color fur is gorgeous and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those huge perky ears and lovely big brown eyes, and those forehead wrinkles that show that you are listening intently to your person. You were just two years old in the photo, and now you are a mature gentleman of ten years. I bet you're every bit as beautiful now, if not more so! Your breed originated in Africa, and how well you have adapted to your home in the much different climate of Canada!
What a delightful personality you have! You're full of energy and make your dear people smile with your antics. You're a smart boy and have picked up on everything they taught you very quickly. You made me smile with your 'selective hearing.' I know several cats, and people, like that! As a Basenji, you are 'barkless,' but you're not silent. You yodel(!), and you can carry on quite a conversation. You and your people all love each other very much, don't you. You all enjoy your cuddle time together at the end of a busy day. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Louie, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear people 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.
