Where 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 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 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 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 the cat didn't care one way or the other.
