"ALL PETS GO TO HEAVEN"
Can you imagine a heaven without pets?
There is a very special place
where beloved pets go after they die.
This is only a temporary location.
But there are trees and grass and lakes
and everything they love.
Here they can play and eat and sleep
even better than they did before they died.
Now there are no aches or worries or dangers of any kind
to trouble or threaten them.
The only joy missing is their beloved
human companion you.
All health is restored completely
and all injuries are healed.
Dogs and cats play with each other like youngsters,
and they do not have time to feel lonely for you.
They miss you and with the special wisdom
that animals have they trust that this
condition will get better.
And they confidently wait as they frolic.
A wonderful day will come for each of them
when in the middle of playing they will suddenly
feel something is different.
And all their senses will be at the height
of excitement and exuberance.
They will sniff the air and look off in the distance
where they recognize that dearly loved special presence.
Then they will call out in elation
and with eyes shining and tail going wild
tear off at a full gallop
almost flying over the green grass.
Your expected arrival has been sensed
and now there is nothing that can keep
the two of you apart ever again.
As you run toward each other
the tears flow from your eyes.
Your pet leaps into your arms and
you cling together in jubilant reunion.
he joyous kisses are all over your face and you kiss back,
just as ecstatically.
Your hands so lovingly caress once more the beloved fur
the head and neck and body you knew so well.
And you look into each other’s loving eyes
and all those old wonderful shared feelings are back again.
And then something will call the both of you on
to a different field of warmth and nurture
where all the love you knew now comes to fruition.
With your pet you leave that special waiting area
walk into the main part of heaven and
begin a new existence there together.
If you accept that pets can love us as much
as we do them then the logic
is clear and cannot be denied.
If you believe that there is a heaven for people
then they must be there waiting for us
when we cross over. Heaven is love
and pets always share that with us.
