"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 in the garden, you walked with me everyday. Now
I do not see you anymore. I am
lonesome here &
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 & 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 & 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 & he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord,
I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom & 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, you will call him
DOG."
And Dog lived with
Adam & was a companion to him & loved
him. And Adam
was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content &
wagged his tail.

After a while, it
came to pass that Adam's guardian angel
came to the Lord &
said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts & preens
lika a peacock & believes he is worthy of adoration.
Dog has indeed taught
him that he is loved, but perhaps too well."
And the Lord said,
"No problem! I will create for him a
companion who will
be with him forever & 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 the Cat didn't
give a hoot one
way or the other.
