Noah — A vet’s commentary

My Dog asked the rabbi’s Dog: “How is it that Noah took two of each type animal on the ark, but God let Noah bring all of his three sons?”

I always thought dog was spelled “God”

The rabbi’s Dog consulted a veterinarian who commented widely on that Torah portion and his learned opinion was that it took three boys to care for all those animals.

My Dog: “Amazing — I have three boys at home caring for me. That’s intensive care?”

The rabbi’s Dog: “You are living in the Garden of Eden.

My Dog: ” I can’t believe I went this far in life without realizing I am living in the Garden of Eden.”

The rabbi’s Dog: “Correction. You are living in the Garden for Eden of late bloomers.”
