Wonderful words. But then that’s what you do. You are so eloquent. Can’t wait for the next book. Noodle’s, Archie’s, Jazz’s, Lola’s, Daisy’s, what a great place heaven will be.

I can’t imagine a “heaven” without my dogs.

Great post. At a time when loss has so many faces, it is often our pets with their consistent adoration that get us through. I look forward to seeing Rex.

Thanks for drawing our attention to your book, Carl.

Apryl, I often think of how my old golden retriever and Ace would’ve been such good friends. But their lives did not overlap.

Thanks Tammy. It’s nice to hear your opinion. I think we have similar views when it comes to stuff like this.

Thanks for the resource, Rosalyn.

I wholeheartedly agree that losing a pet is very traumatic. I lost a toy poodle at the age of 18. I had to put one dog, my 12 year-old Shih Tzu, Snooks, to sleep. That was the hardest day of my life.

I have combined my love of pets and my hobby of machine embroidery into a business, http://www.Pets-R-Loved.com. For those grieving the loss of a pet – I offer at least 2 options for embroidery of “The Rainbow Bridge” (author unknown). I also offer memorial pendants (at reasonable costs) whereby the cremains of your pet are fused with dichronic glass to form a beautiful pendant – you can “wear your pet close to your heart”. Go to my website and search in left-hand menu bar for “In Loving Memory” – all the information is there in pictures, FAQ, etc., etc.

Thank you so much – did you know that November is national Adopt-A-Senior Dog month? – go to your local humane society and fine a new “best friend”.

Great post! My husband and I spent some time recently talking about our Miss Girl who we had to euthanize right before our relocation to Oregon. We miss her greatly – and each of us has “seen” her or sensed her recently. I’m not a religious person, but I do believe that our animals come back and look in on us!

Great post! I was just thinking of my kitty Inso that was only with us for 3 years this week. He was such a cool dude and is still missed so much. I wish my Gus could have met him – they would have really hit it off.

The fact that we will meet our pets on the other side is expressed in my book: Tom’s Journey-The Cat That God Sent To Look After Me.

All dogs go to heaven, right?
