Where Do Pets Come From?
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has
provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden,
you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you
any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult
for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, I will create a companion for you that
will be with you and who will be a reflection of my
love for you, so that you will love me even when you
cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish
or unlovable you may be, this new companion will
accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in
spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for
Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was
pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve
and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the
animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name
for this new animal."
And God said, " I have created this new animal to be a
reflection of my love for you, his name will be a
reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to
them and loved them.
And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog
was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to
the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become
filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks
and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has
indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps
too well."
And God said, I will create for them a companion who
will be with them and who will see them as they are.
The companion will remind them of their limitations,
so they will know that they are not always worthy of
adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve
gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they
were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a s*&t one way or the other!
