THE CREATION OF PETS
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 the Lord 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 give a shit one way or the other.
