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."

(GOD SPELLED BACKWARD) 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 shit one way or the
other.
