Beautiful Lilly and Flöckchen!
Dearest Lilly and Flöckchen, what a beautiful Mother-Daughter pair of Guinea Pigs you are! You are both so pretty with those colorful coats and those sweet faces with the lovely big dark eyes. Lilly, you are Flöckchen's mother, and you two have been best friends since Flöckchen was born! You look quite different, and I think that you, Flöckchen, probably take after your dad in your looks. You love to be together, and you squeak loudly if you're separated. Sometimes you even squeak when your dear person brings you your food! He/she says you've learned the trick of giving your foot on command. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lilly and Flöckchen, on being chosen today's Pets 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 and a special serving of lettuce, apple, cucumber and carrots!
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.
