Dearest Azure, you are absolutely gorgeous! What a stunning Blue Tongue Skink you are! I've never met a member of your particular species before, and what a lovely introduction to them you are. Your coloring is gorgeous, with all those blue and black markings on white, and then there's that blue tongue, indeed. You have the most delightful personality, too. You're a very calm and laid-back lizard, content to lie on your dear person's chest and watch TV together. Your favorite thing to do is eat! Your person makes a special Skink Chow for you. You and he/she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Azure, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person 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.
