Cats don't believe in Heaven. They are existentialists.

Their heaven is here, with us ... we are God to them and we’d better love ‘em like HE loves us.

Dogs are angels disguised. That’s why the Moslems don’t like them.

IMO, dogs are one of the proofs that there is a God.

That picture is actually of a guy that would hold the dog and let him soak in the warm water until he went to sleep. The dog had a problem with his joints that was very painful.

There was a treatment available, but was very expensive. After the picture went viral, the guy got multiple offers from people to pay for the dog's treatment. I haven't heard the eventual outcome.

This picture is more like "unconditional trust".

I sure hope that there is a heaven for dogs. My two will be there. After losing my career, my marriage and my house all in one year, my two ‘girls’ remain steadfast. Looking more and more like #18 for me. Dogs certainly do give unconditional love, more than can often be said of a spouse.

Don’t let the “Kill all Pit Bulls” crowd see picture 3 & 11! They will presume those two pups are just enjoying the scent of their dinner before the kill!

We have a ‘puggles’ mixture beagle and pug. Snores at night, lol! Recent study indicated dogs have the equivalent IQ of an 18 month old child and in fact their brains are getting bigger given their long association with humans. Phew cats!

Yep, dogs will even love long-haired hippie bastards like that.

After the death recently of a dearly loved family dog, a friend of mine posted the following verse, by an anonymous author:

I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying...
you found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly
as you brushed away a tear.
“It’s me, I haven’t left you...
I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”

I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times,
your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today,
your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today,
you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you
that I am not lying there.

I walked with you toward the house,
as you fumbled for your key,
I gently put my paw on you.
I smiled and said, “It’s me.”

You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know
that I was standing there.

It’s possible for me to be
so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
“I never went away.”

You sat there very quietly,
then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.

The day is over...I smile
and watch you yawning
And say, “Goodnight, God bless,
I’ll see you in the morning.”

And when the time is right
for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you
and we will stand, side-by-side.

I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.
