Dearest Samson, you are absolutely gorgeous! What a handsome chocolate Labrador Retriever you are indeed! And what a delightful personality you have, too! Every body of water is a magnet for you, and you often bring home so much mud that your dear people hose you down sometimes before you come inside (and fortunately, you enjoy that, too). You also love to play a good game of fetch. You're full of energy, and you make your dear person smile with your antics. You're athletic and energetic, a pretty silly boy. And what makes you most special is that you are, paws down, his/her very best friend! You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Samson, 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 treats and games, and perhaps a special round of fetch!
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.
