Dearest Helen, AKA Pretty Girl, Big Girl, Sugar Puss, Sugar Plumb, and Sweetie, AND Barbie! You are so beautiful and so special! You're absolutely stunning in those great photos, and thank you for sharing them with us. That sleek black coat (well, not quite so sleek after the dip in the lake) is gorgeous, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big brown eyes! And how nice to see you with your dear little sister in the background in the first one!
And what a delightful personality you have! Your dear people adopted you from the Labrador Retriever Rescue in Fresno, CA. You'd been surrendered without any information as to why. You were fearful of many people and many things. Your dear people gave you the time and space and love you needed to regain your confidence in the world around you. Now you are living the best life with your perfect permanent family! And best of all, you went on a fishing trip with them and saw your first lake! It took a bit of time and tries to get used to it, but you learned to swim after finding you couldn't walk on the water. Now you prefer to run along the shore and just splash in the water. And afterwards you make sure your dear people don't leave without you! You and they and your little sister all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Helen, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear sister and people 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.
