linc Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 It is reported that the following edition of the Book of Genesis was discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls. If authentic, it would shed light on the question, "Where did pets come from?" And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me everyday. 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 know I love you, even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish and childish and 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 he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken 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 Eve and loved them. 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 believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility." 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 he is not worthy of adoration.' And God created CAT to be a companion for 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 Cat did not care one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does andsome he does, he is dog number2 and just like the first devoted to me.That wild excited greeting when I come home,the constant attention when I move,allways lying at my feet. Happy to just go for a walk and never expecting me to go out of my way to please him or buy him something.What a wise man that foreman was, what forsight!Mind you I think he had been married for about 25 years at the time :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 It has always been my argument what wonderful, faithful pets dog can be. A cat on the other hand is always a semi wild animal, that pleases itself. It wanders off when it pleases and bothers everyone else, by crapping in their gardens.
