Dearest Jaba, you are gorgeous, absolutely stunning! What a beautiful coat you have, white with just the faintest touches of yellow. And you have the sweetest face with that cute little pink mustache and those lovely big brown eyes. You live in New Zealand, "Land of the Long White Cloud," and you've been known to leave a "long white cloud" of shed fur of your own! You have such a delightful personality, too! You're a very big five-year-old puppy, all wiggly and waggy when you're happy - which is most of the time! And when you're done playing, you jump up onto a nearby lap for cuddling. That saying "Gotta Love a Lab" certainly fits you! You and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Jaba, 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.
