Beautiful BoTahn!
Dearest BoTahn, what a beautiful Polish Arabian Horse you are! You're absolutely gorgeous, with that mostly-brown coat and the black mane and tail. You look so content and noble. And what a lovely story you have to tell. You are your dear Mom's "little girl's dream come true after 35 years!" She waited long before finally fulfilling the dream she couldn't let go of, what with her lifelong fascination with horses. You're a bit spunky, but she isn't afraid, and you're responding beautifully. She says you're "just one BIG puppy dog is all," and you two are bonding slowly but surely! She pulls up in the barn driveway and calls to you in the pasture, and you come running with tail flagging and mane flowing in typical, awesome, Arabian style! You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling BoTahn, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom 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.
