Dearest Malachi, what a beautiful Black Lory you are! You are absolutely gorgeous, a symphony in black and white! Those glossy feathers are so sleek and pretty, and you have the sweetest face with those lovely big black eyes and what looks like a smile (and probably is!). And what a delightful personality you have! You're one of the spunkiest birds your dear person has ever had, and you're full of affection. I love your story of how you and your person-to-be met at a bird fair, and you won her heart! You're full of energy, and you make your people smile with your antics. You hop like a bunny, and you follow them around. They say they couldn't ask for a better bird! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Malachi, on being chosen Pet 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.
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.
