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.
