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 lick one way or the other.
