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 said, "Lord, when I was first in the garden,
you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome
here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion
for you that will be with you forever and will be a reflection of my
love for you, so that you will know my love 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 yourself." And God created a new animal to be a companion
for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new
animal was pleased to be with Adam 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, "No problem! Because 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 was a companion to him and
loved him. And
Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was
content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian
angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled
with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is
worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but
perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for him
a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he
is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know
that he is not always worthy of adoration." And God created CAT
to be a companion to Adam.
And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into
Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the Supreme Being. And Adam
learned humility.
And God was pleased.
And Adam was greatly improved.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a nuts one way or the other.
