Dearest Heidi (the Spidey), what a beautiful Chilean Rose Tarantula you are, and what a special lady you are! To your dear people, you're that less-than-genial family member. In many ways, you remind them of "a slightly quirky (and cranky) aunt." You're not adventurous, but you do like your enrichments! You like to treat everything in your cage as if it were a jungle gym. And like a vampire, you prefer to avoid the sunlight and do your business at night. Your people love you, crankiness and all, and appreciate that you're a reminder that every creature has its own personality. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Heidi, on being chosen Pet 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.
