And I guess that brings us to the next question. Will we see them again in Heaven?
There is a book on the subject called “Cold Noses At The Pearly Gates: A Book of Hope for Those Who Have Lost Pets”.
It is a comforting book and the author makes some good debate arguments that our pets can join us in Heaven if that is what our heart of hearts desires. Afterall God made them the first time, and its not to much for him to do it again.
You mean we get to pick the ones we want with us in Heaven? Wow...that's a lot of power. Sure helps with the worrying about whether the ones we ate will be whispering in God's ear.
I know you will see your dog again. I was very lucky not to have to wait. It changed my life and my husband’s. If I explain it, you wouldn’t believe it - just as I wouldn’t have believed it a few years ago.
I lost a big chunk of my heart when my husband and I had to put down the cat we adopted as a kitten shortly after we were married. She developed brain cancer at thirteen.
I know there isn’t solid Scripture to support pets in heaven, but I think we’ll get those chunks of heart back when our pets greet us, tails wagging, wondering, “what took you so long?”
I have an 11-year old Tonkinese named Perri. When her time comes it’ll be devastating for me, and I treasure every day I have with her...even when she meows at 2AM because she’s lonely.
