Dearest Junior, what a beautiful thoroughbred race horse you are! You are absolutely gorgeous, practicing there on the track. Your career is already mapped out! Your loving and beloved mom is training you for racing, with the help of exercise riders and jockeys. After your racing days are over, mom plans on making you into the stable pony.

You're quite an important member of your family. You're very special because you think you are! You're very independent and proud. You like to run long distances, and you're usually in front of other horses running because you don't like to have dirt kicked up in your face. And after you come off the track, you walk over to mom so she can escort you back to the barn! You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Junior, on being chosen Pet of the Day for Sunday, January 4! We hope you and your dear mom and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, perhaps a special serving of carrots and sugar cubes (no apples)!
