Where do 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, 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."



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 care one way or the other.

Sounds just like my dogs and cats !!:)

What Book, Chapter, and Verse did that come from? I would like to find it! Thats great!

I read somewhere that in ancient Egypt, cats were worshipped as Gods......and they have NEVER forgotten that!

Very good.

I wish someone was awake in my house to show this to.Very cute.
