The Creation of Pets
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, "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 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, "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 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, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever 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 s#%t one way or the other.




Inner Strength 
If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills, 
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, 
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, 
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it, 
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time, 
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, 
 through no fault of yours, something goes wrong, 
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, 
If you can face the world without lies and deceit, 
If you can conquer tension without medical help, 
If you can relax without liquor, 
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, 
If you can do all these things, 
Then you are probably the family dog


"Hmmm!  Seems like someone's been peeking in my windows, or maybe all of us 'gone to the dogs folks' are much alike!"

Decorating with Dogs
(author unknown)
Decorating when you have pets can provide unique 
opportunities to express your own personal style and taste. 
Here are some tips I'd like to share: 

1. Bare floors, without carpet or throw rugs, can give a 
nice open feeling to a room. It can provide a soothing 
balance when you have many art objects that reflect your 
love of animals. 

2. Paw prints and nose smudges on glass doors and windows 
break up glare and soften the light in a room. 

3. Dog crates, when stacked three high, can add height to a 
room and pull the eye up. If fastened securely to the wall, 
the top can provide a safe and dramatic place for exotic 
plants or statuary that otherwise might be molested by your 
pets. An up light can make it a real focal point. Cats love 
to inhabit the upper crates, leaving the lower ones for the 
dogs. 

4. Old towels and blankets thrown casually on upholstered 
furniture can add a wonderful homey, country-quilt look to 
an otherwise bland room. 

5. Common smooth upholstery fabrics can look almost velvety 
when lightly textured with pet hair. 

6. Vari-kennels, placed end to end and topped with plate 
glass can create an unusual coffee table, one your friends 
will really remember. 

7. Doggie beds, randomly placed around a room, can add color 
and texture, much as throw pillows do. 

8. Shredded or chewed books and magazines send a message to 
guests that they are free to relax and feel at home. 

9. Dog crates can make versatile end tables, and can be slip 
covered to match any room decor. 

10. There is absolutely nothing that makes a guest feel as 
welcome as three friendly dogs hopping in his lap as soon as 
he sits down. 

So throw away those videos by Martha and others, and express 
your own unique tastes. Your home should reflect what YOU like!
