Do you believe animals go to heaven? If you're a pet owner or lover (like me), and you think about the way your pet one day will go or you have experienced dealing with the loss of a pet, does it come across your mind that you will also see them again when your time's done and you go to heaven?
I've thought of this for a long time and ever since especially when I lost my dog of fifteen years in 2009, I wondered if she is going to be up in heaven waiting for the day we will go and unite again. I think of this for all pets that we could ever own too... Almost a month ago I lost my Syrian hamster and I sort of knew when she started falling ill again that she would have her time cut short, and it happened while we were going to have her examined once again at the vet's. Of course I did the grieving of her passing but I also felt some peace knowing that she was going to enter heaven before her actual passing and was ready to accept the fact that it was probably the best option to put her down if she haven't died right when we were in the vet's office. I dealt with it better than probably what I would've normally done since I lost rodents before her too. Yesterday I was thinking about it and still question on it.
What do you think? What scriptures do you have to back up your claim?
