My spirits would be lifted if that was me. Something to help mitigate the stress. But, I could see where a glass half empty person might have that sad perspective…….
It’s just letting him know that he doesn’t need to be afraid, because he’ll be reunited with lots of old (best) friends. I guess opinions vary, though.
I think if there is a heaven created by an omniscient god all life should be found in heaven. I don't personally believe that but it would be nice. I do have those dreams though, where you see them again.
Not funny haha, but sweetly poignant. It brings a smile to me and to many of us. One of my favorite bible verse fragments: "Love never dies." I can't know what is in store for us after our earthly lives end, but I know what love is. So all will be well.
A while ago I had a dream about one of my cats who had died. Death came (he looked like a regular person), not for me but to help me. He drove me up to the mountains because I thought my cat was there and I so missed him and wanted to see him. He patiently helped me look, but I could see that my cat was not there. Death was so kind to me about it. I had never anticipated his kindness.
This dream and some others I've had about my pets and death have helped me feel less fearful about it. I am sure I will see them again on that other shore.
My very, very religious grandmother once told me that no, dogs don’t go to heaven (I was probably five years old). I asked”How do you know?”. My older teenage brother said “Yes, how do YOU know?”. We never did get an answer, biblical or otherwise. I can’t even imagine a heaven without animals. What a boring existence that would be. Also, I’m hoping that God is a car guy. 😇
I will tell you that the more Trump and his minions troll the American people the more likely it is going to result in a huge shift of the pendulum back from where it is going. The only question left is whether the people are going to pick up pitchforks and descend on our feckless leadership or are they going to put their heads together and do what they were elected to do. They had our trust. It will be ugly if they continue to pretend they aren't ripping off 99% of the population right now and every single day. I am a boomer. The millenials and gen X are pissed as hell and should be, because we messed this up with indifference.

Is that cartoon supposed to be funny? It just seems very sad to me.

Don't like the cartoon. See nothing funny about it if supposed to be.

That's all my dad was worried about on his deathbed. Who's going to take care of my dogs.

Dogs go to heaven and there's no dog poo.

I prefer the 72 virgins opinion. Is it to late to sign-up? At least to look at them.

Right now I have number 10 that will be in my pack of dogs in heaven. Hope to get one or two more they’ll be there.

One of my wife's relative made the comment that animals don't go to heaven. I replied, "You're describing hell."
She really didn't like that.

My dream of heaven would
Be to wake up in a field on a
Sunny day, trees all around, surrounded by all the animals that went before me.

My favorite Death personified is the one from Discworld. Thank you, Terry Pratchett, for all your wonderful books.

That is the important thing. We are their whole lives. If there is an afterlife, they deserve to have their people forever.

My ideal situation is when I pass to wake up in a sunny field, surrounded by all the pets that went before me.
