Your Pets In Heaven
By Ken D. Conover
To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other’s lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.

Very nice and very touching and very true. I miss my past babies and could not ever see myself without another dog.

This line really touched me:

Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, and true ... not just "happy thoughts for sad people" - I truly believe God loves those we love, and that He knows heaven wouldn't be the same without our beloved pets. I don't think there is a "doggie heaven" that is separate, I believe they wait for us, if they go ahead of us, and that when Jesus said "in my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2)... that that place has plenty of room for all the dogs we have loved. They will be there to greet us ... I know it in my heart.
Thank you for sharing this, it is truly comforting.
Love,
Simon's Mom

If I can't rejoin my beloved Aussies in the hereafter, then it will be a very bleak place, for certain. I was going thru all my dog photos after Mandy's passing and truly hope that I will see her again along with her predecessors, Dolly & Beauty.

Ah, the silly things us dog folks think about
