Dearest Peaches Ginger, Cream Cheese Cup Cake, and Biscuit Buttermilk, what a beautiful trio of Zebra Finches you are! You are all so pretty, and what delightful personalities you have, too! You're all cousins and the best of friends. You have great fun playing hide and go seek and catch me with your dear people. You love to chit chat and to play tricks such as going "Home" and to explore the outside world from your carry cage. Your people thought that you were so cute when they got you, they could eat you all up, so they gave you food names! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Peaches Ginger, Cream Cheese Cup Cake, and Biscuit Buttermilk, on being chosen Pets of the Day! 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 millet!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
