[FONT=Comic Sans MS]I miss my dog a lot. He was runnover by a car and died a few weeks ago. I was still in school when my dad told me what happened. I'm scared to forget him and I don't want to. I really really miss him and he was the only one I could really talk to. :( [/FONTundefined

:hug: I'm sorry to hear about your dog. What was his name? I definetely understand, I still miss my dog Buster and he died over a year ago. Do you have pictures that you could use to make a scrap book of your memories with him?
http://www.petloss.com has a lot of nice poems and memorials that I find helpful when I lose a pet.

And you shouldn't. I'll get grief from some on my views but they're unshakable. I believe they do. Not a different one, but the only one. Owners and pets alike have the chance to be together after this plane. If you're worried about keeping him close to your thoughts now, you can do somthing to remember him. Make a donation (can even be a donation of time at a local shelter) in his memory. Make a scrapbook of pictures you might have of him. Write down in a journal to his memory all of the thoughts, dreams, recollections you have. Don't set the date he passed as the way to remember him. It's senseless to have a day each year that surfaces to bring only pain. If he had a birthday that you know of, make that a day to do somthing for other animals. But as you cared so much for him, don't let that loss be a reason for not allowing another animal, in time, enter your life and be graced by the same caring you had for your dog. Good owners are hard to find-!.. Oh, and I don't care if folks think I'm a loon or not, I still talk to my Boo-Boo Bear, she was 16 and passed some 4 years ago. I think she can hear me. T.

animals are far more deserving than people to be in heaven. i believe that animals have souls and that they all go to heaven.

Ditto! I have no doubt that my babies will be there when I....die.
Don't worry about your little sweetie! They're probably running around, playing, with Scamper and Steffani. :hug:

I asked my minister this when I was little, and he said that yes, animals do go to heaven. Though I am no longer Christian, I still believe that animals have souls - this is one of the main reasons I don't eat them - and that if there is an afterlife I am sure they will meet us there.

I think animals go to heaven.

My gecko died yesterday. She was crazy but, she went to a better place.She had an eye proublem for two years old and I was told that if I took her in to see a vet that she would be down because there was nothing that they could do. Java Bean! I belive every animal has a soul of some sort.

My Grandpa died in November then in January my dog died, so I like to think that they are up there together keeping eachother company. Its weird because I could see alot of similarities in what they were going through towards the end of their lives, just in the way they acted you know like they both knew they didn't have much time left and were ready to accept it.
