Dearest Bogart, what a handsome young Schipperke fellow you are! You look so noble and stately, standing there and intently watching something going on over to the side. You're very special to your dear people, aren't you. You like to be in on everything that's going on. You get them to explain things if you aren't sure about them, and you understand just what they're saying! You know several tricks, and, so sweet, you love cats and kittens. There's a saying, "You can't herd cats," but you do it, keeping the kittens together when they start crying out or get out of place. (I'd love to see that!) You even know your dear family cats and kittens by name and will go to them when asked. You and they and your people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Bogart, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear kitties 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.
