Dearest Nathan, what an utterly adorable bundle of Christmas joy you are! You're perfectly dressed as "Santa's Litter Helper." You're a long-haired miniature dachshund, a small dog with a HUGE personality. You love to play, all year round! In winter you tunnel through the snow to find toys. When the snow is new and soft, it clings to your fur, and you look like you're wearing a coat made of cotton balls! In summer you love to swim, and after your person tosses your rubber fish into the water, you dive in to find it. You know several good tricks, and, as we see, you love to dress up and pose for pictures. You've even won two Halloween costume contests! And you're also very affectionate. Most of all, you just want to cuddle and be a great lap dog, which you certainly are! You and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Nathan, on being chosen Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear 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.
