Presumably, the kids are intact, but which of the others are "fixed?" O-o-o-o-o!! An aggressive forehand, and then charge the net!!

This message courtesy of The Boyz - Rocky & Baylee, the "fur people" who run our place.

Adam said, “Lord, When I was in the Garden of Eden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonely here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me.”

And God said, “No problem, my son, I will create a companion for you who 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 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 creature. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam. And he wagged his tail.

Adam said, “Lord, I have already named all the animals in your Kingdom, and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”

And God said, “No problem, my son. Because I have created this new creature 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 as a faithful 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 himself 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 yet another companion who will be with him forever, and who will see him as he is. This new companion will make him mindful 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, of course, didn’t give a shit one way or the other.
