Dearest Bello, you are beautiful indeed! You're absolutely gorgeous with that thick black and brown fur to keep you warm in the snow, and that sweet face with those lovely big brown eyes. What a wonderful young man you are, just ten months old, a big dog now who's still a puppy in many ways! You're very sweet and funny, and when you want to play with your dear person, you jump over to him/her. You love going outside, even when it's snowing, and you love playing together. You also love to eat, especially those sausages like the good German boy you are. You don't get fat, because you're so active you burn off the calories! You and your person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Bello, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats and maybe another nice, tasty German sausage!
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.
