Beautiful Nick!
Dearest Nick, what an utterly beautiful Cocker Spaniel you are! Your coat is a gorgeous mix of pale brown and orange tones and white, and you have the sweetest face with those long Cocker ears and lovely big dark eyes and that cute smile with your tongue out. And what a delightful story you have to tell! Your dear Mom-to-be encountered you by chance at a flea market three and a half years ago. She had not intended to get a puppy, but after one look at you and then you two meeting, you were SOLD! Your soft curls and big dark eyes melted her heart instantly.. and they still do! You enjoy going to Nana's house for bone cookies, playing with your dear kitty brother Stevie, and being spoiled by Mom. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Nick, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and Stevie and Nana and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats and cookies!
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.
