Dearest Baby, you are beautiful indeed! What a gorgeous Freisian Cattle Cross steer you are with that colorful coat and those lovely big dark eyes. And what an amazing story you have to tell! Unlike most steers, you were very friendly right from the start. What makes you truly special is that you saved your dear person's life or at the very least, saved him/her from serious injury! One day another steer suddenly charged him/her, but you got in the way, shoved the steer away, and chased him off. You spend your days grazing with your buddy Razr, and you love getting your neck scratched. You and your person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Baby, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and Razr 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 molasses!
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.
