Have you ever known true, given without question unconditional love? It is rare. It is difficult to find. If you have it -- cherish it as something which is the most dear object in your life. You will only find it in one other place.
Have you ever known the ultimate joy and peace of looking deeply into your pet's eyes, almost into his/her soul and have that dear one look back at you -- into your soul -- and you see true, non-judgemental, "I'm so glad to see you and I love you so much" -- unconditional love? Only pets, in the webmistresses' opinion are capable of giving this kind of love other than a few good human beings. That's what this section is about -- unconditional love -- from pets -- dogs, cats, whatever your pet -- love them as much as they love you -- for they do -- love you -- "unconditionally".

And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden,
you walked with me every day.
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 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 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 that he is not 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 Cat did not care one way or the other.

NOTE: I don't particularly agree with that last sentence,
because my cat does have emotions just as my dogs
do, and I feel that he does "care", one way or the other.
