Dearest Willie, what a handsome fellow you are! Your fur with so many colors in it is absolutely gorgeous and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big dark eyes gazing right out at me. And what a delightful personality you have! You're fourteen years old and still going strong, even though you've eaten many things you shouldn't have. You get nippy is someone tries to take something from you when you're eating. You were a rescue dog many years ago, and maybe you were hungry a lot before you were rescued.
My very deepest thanks to your dear humans for choosing a rescue dog! You're a very sweet dog who likes anyone who likes you! You mainly sleep during the day while your dear young friend and his/her brother are at school. You love to go for walks around the block every so often. You're the family guard dog, who growls and barks if someone you don't recognize comes in your house or yard. You and your people all love each other very much. Your friend wishes you could read all about yourself here on Pet Talk! What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Willie, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your young friend 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.
