Many dogs, cats ,ponies, goats ,sheep , chickens , geese will be there waiting. Love my animals. (Mama was wrong about them being a preparation. Nothing prepares us for loss of people or pets).
You are right, HM.
Nothing prepares us for the lose of a beloved person or animal.
But we know that they are now in the arms of our dear Father in Heaven and that is a comfort.
I always loved animals too. But I knew if we were going to eat them, treat them kindly, but don’t name them or get attached.
