Thought that this goes well with Garland's sermon last Sunday.
As well as brings a bit of truth with it.
Via con Dios,

And God Created Dog and Cat
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 any more. 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 and 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
it wagged its 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 Cat didn't care one way or the other.
