Dearest Manuelita, what a beautiful Gopher Tortoise you are! You are so pretty with those gorgeous, exquisite markings, and you look like you have a big smile there. And what a wonderful story you have to tell!
You were lost on a Buenos Aires street. We are so glad the perfect person found you and rescued you! He/she, an experienced tortoise/turtle person, knew the city streets were no place for a little tortoise like you. She brought you home, where you get just the kind of care a tortoise should get. You have been together for three years now. You go to the refrigerator to let your dear person know you want something to eat. You like to explore in the garden and eat plants and enjoy the fresh air. You and the family cat are friends. You and dear person and dear kitty all love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Manuelita, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of lettuce!
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.
