Dearest Tracker, a.k.a. "Beans," you are absolutely adorable! What a beautiful Alaskan Malamute you are, with that gorgeous light brown and white fur that looks so soft, and that sweet face with those lovely big brown eyes, and that mouth open in a big smile with your pink tongue reaching out. Thank you for sharing that great photo with us! You have the most delightful personality, too. You're full of energy, and you keep busy chasing rabbits in the snow, playing fetch and keep-away, jogging, and playing with big sister Rosie.
What a nice story you have to tell! You and your dear Human-Mom-to-be came together thanks to her running into a dear friend by chance and finding out about your Doggie-Mom and her litter. She met you all, and you and she fell in love! You were just three months old, and she brought you home wrapped in a towel. You missed your littermates but connected right away with Rosie. Now you love living in the country with room to run and new smells and creatures to chase every day. And you're a good dog and the greatest jogging partner Mom has ever had! You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Tracker, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and Rosie 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 even another nice long jog!
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.
