Dearest Mia, you are adorable and precious! What a beautiful mature lady you are, with that colorful fur coat that looks so soft and that sweet face with those lovely big eyes and what looks like a big smile and probably is. And you're so cute with your football, your prize toy from your puppyhood days!
What a story you have to tell! When you were just a puppy, you and another dear pup were dumped in the country, and I can't begin to express my rage toward anyone who would do something like that. You jumped in the truck of your dear persons-to-be, and the other pup took off running. You hit the jackpot there! You became your new people's first rescue dog, and now they have two others.
You are fourteen years old now, and not a day goes by without you smiling. You're very sweet and affectionate, and you love being held and cuddled and falling asleep on your person's chest. Your people have parties at their house at which all pets are welcome. You're the hostess with the mostest, giving tours of the property! You travel everywhere with your people. You and they and your rescue housemates all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share! (And I hope and pray that your dumped-pup companion was rescued and found a good home and loving family, too!)
Congratulations, darling Mia, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and rescue-housemates 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.
