There are no words that can fill the emptiness we feel with the loss of a precious companion pet. Their unconditional love and devotion are missed as much as their splendid and unique personality. But we can replace the grief with joyful anticipation and hope, if we understand that there is a plan for them. I sincerely believe there will be cold noses at the Pearly Gates. When I say this, I always get replies that our pets don’t have souls, so cant go to heaven. I turn that around and ask them, does the Bible mention there will be animals in paradise?, in which they say yes, the lion will lie down with the sheep, it says. If Paradise has animals, were they not created by God? And is it beyond Gods power to recreate your precious dog you had on earth? The companion he found for you in the first place?
I truly hope so. I miss my Sammy so much.
Someone told me that God knows how much we love our pets and he would want us to have that joy in heaven so they will be there for us.
