Dearest Bud, you are gorgeous! What a stunningly beautiful Golden Retriever you are, with that soft-looking golden fur and the sweet face with the big smiles. (Happy Birthday to you, whenever it was!) And what a wonderful personality you have, too! You are very smart and do many tricks (this Pilates student would love to see you doing the downward dog pose!). You love the beach and the snow. You love playing fetch and swimming and being with people. You are good with everyone, especially very young humans and little dogs. During a storm you only want to be as close as possible to your special person. You and he/she love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Bud, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear special friend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

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