Dearest Appa, what a beautiful young Chow Chow/Collie mix you are! You are so pretty with that fluffy light-brown fur and that sweet face with those perky ears and lovely big brown eyes. And what an amazing, heartwarming story you have to tell! Your dear person-to-be found you abandoned alongside the road when you were just four weeks old. You were fearful and covered with fleas. He/she rescued you, for which I am so very glad and grateful! She/he gave you your first safe, loving home and the good care you needed to recover. And then at age 11 weeks you came down with Parvo, but being the fighter you are, you recovered. Now you're healthy and happy, an adorable sassy boy full of life. You've been through so much in your short life, and your person can't imagine life without you now! You both love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Appa, 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 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.
