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 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 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 forever 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 **** one way or the other.
