Where Did 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, "No problem! 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, 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 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, No problem! 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 crap one way or the other! |
