Captivating Coco!
Dearest Coco, what a beautiful African Grey Parrot you are! Your grey feathers are gorgeous, and what a sweet face you have, with that darker-grey beak and those lovely big eyes. And what a delightful personality you have! You're very special because you're part of your family. You call them by their names, laugh when they laugh, bark at the dog, and call the dog to your cage. You dance when the stereo is on. When the phone rings you say "Hello," and when someone is leaving and they jingle their car keys, you tell them "Good-Bye." You're not just a pet, you're their special family member! You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Coco, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you 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.
