Do dogs go to heaven

A family member gone :(

An empty bed
a bowl not filled
and aching hearts
now his is stilled...

Jake 30/10/2005 - 16/06/21

Author's Note

Jake was a 5th Christmas present for my daughter who is now nearing her 21st birthday.
I cradled him as his wee heart stilled. Miss him terribly. The pup, Max, now wears his collar in his honour.

This poem was short and wonderful. It reminded me of my dear sweet little Biskit, a tan Apso Lasso, who died two years ago. I still have an effervescent terrier by the name of Baxter, who sleeps now on a soft orange blanket at the foot of my bed, waiting for me to finish writing so I will get up and let him outside, where he can bark good morning to the neighborhood.

[Gee]

Thank you.
" bark good morning to the neighbourhood" ...love that

Our fury friends give us comfort and never judge us. They are part of the family and it is never easy when their time on earth comes to and end.

[Gee]

Thank you for dropping in to read.

I have a cat that I am very attached to. It's going to be brutal when the time comes.

[Gee]

Morning Dave. It's the third time I have held a pooch whilst he slipped away, breaks your heart but they can't be left to die alone.
Hope you are keeping well

[Davidgeo]

Your arms are like a dog funeral home.

You're so right though. Nothing should die alone.

Hope you had a good breakfast. Or are going to have a good breakfast.

I have this semi-exotic cat breed called the savannah cat... they live till there 20 and he's only 10.

I hate the fourth of july fireworks so I'm going to play loud, very loud, music to spite my neighbors.

I'm only kinda sorta a soccer fan. One of these days I'm going to teach you the intricacies of american football. It's better than rugby, I promise.

[Davidgeo]

Dogs do go to heaven

[Gee]

I'm not fan of any American sports preferring rugby, football over everything else. A mate of mines son has just been called up by England rugby so well be hoping he gets a few run outs. His name is Josh Bassett.
Enjoy every day with the cat, pets leave a massive hole when no longer here.

[Davidgeo]

I bet you would like hockey. It's basically soccer on ice with sticks and a puck. It's still not an American sport though, definitely Canadian even though most of the pro teams are in America now.

Yes, they do go to heaven, where else could they go.

Almost twenty years ago now, but I remember as clear as day how my sister and I cried when we lost our beloved Collie/Springer Spaniel cross Penny. She came in to the family when I was nine and gave us joy for almost 14 years; wish it had been forever.

A beautiful tribute Gee, that brought back some wonderful childhood memories. Charlie and I have our own lovely little pet now, Holly, again a Collie/Spaniel cross, She's 4 in November and the most loving little thing.

Beccy.

[Gee]

Thanks Beccy.
Hope you are all keeping well.

Thank you for confusing me

[John the Baptist]

Having myself held a pet at the very end, I can identify with this one. They might not be human, but they surely are family members.

[Gee]

Thank you JTB

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Jake had a great 16 years on this earth with a very loving family...
It is so hard to lose our pets, they are family.

[Gee]

Very hard. Thank you Jacob, hope you are well

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Oh yes. We know they do dear Gee. Sweet Jake is there now running and playing happily with the other pups and watching over his beloved family until he will be reunited with them again. I am so sorry for your sadness and your daughter and family’s sadness, as expressed in your beautiful and true poem. “There is an empty bed”- yes, but his love for you is still in it. Ask Max, I’m sure he sees it and carries it with him too. Good luck and love with that new little pup my friend.

[Gee]

Thank you for your mind words Annette.
Hope you are well

[Chris Shaw]

Aw Gee. So sad is this little tribute to Jake, your much loved pet. After nearly sixteen years how greatly his passing must be felt by your daughter and the rest of you. Our pets are family and they are deeply missed when they leave us. Do dogs go to heaven? Of course they do. My Dad told me that when I was seven and our border collie Simon who was only a puppy died. My Dad would never have told me a lie. So sorry for your sad news.

Chris

[Gee]

Thank you Christine. Gutted :(
Hope you are well

[Chris Shaw]

All. OK. Just about to go on holiday for a week. So sorry about your dog:(

[Gee]

Thank you. Anywhere nice ?

[Chris Shaw]

Brixham, so I can visit my mum in her Torquay nursing home. Booked two visits for next week. Only 45 mins allowed. At least I will get to see her and have a holiday as well :)

[Gee]

Enjoy both :))
