Dearest Charlotte, you are beautiful and adorable! What a charming, precious Guinea Pig you are, so pretty with that soft-looking coat and that sweet face with the cute pink nose and lovely big dark eyes. And what a story you have to tell! You had a sad early life, before winding up at that rescue called Miss Pigg's Guinea Lair. And there you and your dear person met, you adopted each other, and you went Home with her/him! You've been together three years now and turned your bad start completely around. And what a treasure you've been to your person, bringing comfort to her in her grief at losing her precious dog Rastus, who died at 19 years of age. You like being with your piggy friend Crystal, and you two enjoy play time out when you can run around the floor. You're a sweet, gentle girl who cheers your person up every day. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Charlotte, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and Crystal 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.
