The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets

The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets
Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us
every day. Now we do not see you anymore. 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 give a shit one way or the other.

How to make a homemade dog food

Sometimes, homemade dog food is undeniably better and safe than dog food. But before switching to homemade dog food, check with your vet first and understand that 40 percent meat, 30 percent vegetables and 30 percent starch is needed for a dog diet. The basic ingredients for a homemade dog food are meat, vegetables and starches.

You can try mixing ground turkey, rice and carrot for your own dog food. Meals made of ground beef, brown rice, brewer's yeast and carrots are also popular. You can also use oatmeal, rice or potatoes for your dog's starch requirement. To preserve dog nutrition, the cooked dog food can be kept in the refrigerator no more than three days.
