Do dogs go to heaven?

[Luminous_Rose]

I just don't see why we wouldn't see our animal companions again.

I didn't say we wouldn't; I didn't say we would. I'm on the, "I don't know now, but will know one day."

Thank you all for the replies. I feel so bad. Since I had kids I haven’t paid attention to him like I should have. I feel horrible.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You are mourning.

We may. I know during the 1000 year millennial reign, the wolf and lamb lie down together. I do not see that as heaven, but as the literal righteous reign of Christ on earth. But it will be the Kingdom reign and the carnivores will no longer feed on the other animals. (Is. 11:6)

I saw the film Old Yeller when I was 11 years old. Really good film and I believe helps children to understand about goodbyes and not to be afraid of loving again.
I agree with all you have said in your post.

I was probably about the same age. Both it and Bambi certainly made an impression. As a young boy Bambi cured me from ever going deer hunting. I'm sure I could now....but I don't.

I'm not a big fan of hunting myself.

I don't have anything against it. I'm just not a big hunter. I have raised animals and then killed and butchered them myself, so it is no problem to do it. But I have no interest in shooting deer. Someone has to or else they would over populate.

I have raised hogs before. And when you raise them up and get to know them, it is awfully hard to kill them. But, you raise them to eat. So you have to do it. It's not pleasant. You just have to do it. And, you feel terrible for awhile.

One of my friends had a small holding. She had a goat, pigs and sheep. I used to bottle feed the lambs. They all had names and would come running when you called them. When they got tooats certain age she would take them to the slaughter house. After they had been butchered she took them home and put them in the freezer. I would never be able to do that. I would no good as a farmer.

Have you seen the movie Babe? That's a beautiful story. About a pig who doesn't get slaughtered but learns to be a sheep dog. So funny.

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

I like Babe, but I prefer Charlotte's Web myself. I really like the original cartoon and the live action one as well. They're both really good and cute movies.

Babe is my wife's fave movie. She has watched it countless times.
I like the scene where he learns to be a co operative leader instead of an intimidating one. As a sheep dog.

 

[Luminous_Rose]

Wow, all this talk about "Babe" lol. I remember being in the store, not sure which one, but I was about 4 or 5 years old and my mom let me pick out a movie. She held too movies and said, "The kitty one (Aristocats) or the farm animal one (Babe)?" It was the hardest decision of my young life ?

I knew Babe was a pig but haven't seen the movie. I didn't know anything about the story. Clever pig to work out how not to get slaughtered.

Sp which one did you pick?

Have to express my preference for Babe.it being made in Australia with Aussie actors.

They always said to me not to name anything you plan to eat. But the family always did anyway. It didn't seem to bother them when it came time to eat them. I think you would get used to it.

And a friend of mines folks were small cattle ranchers. They had one bull of course they had raised and named him. But he got old and they had to sell him to market to slaughter. They didn't buy the meat for themselves they just sold him to market.

My friends mom was so upset about selling him to slaughter she refused to buy any ground beef or hot dogs for a month, scared she might be eating him.

That's sad. I can understand how your friend's mom felt. If you're a farmer you have to do these things though. I'd want yoo let him live in pasture. But I don't think you can have 2 Bull's can you?

I never was a cattle rancher so I don't know. For a small ranch I can't see having more than one bull. I see nothing but trouble unless you got the pens to keep them separated. For a large herd I'm sure they have more than one. Of course a lot of artificial insemination is done today also.

I know the one they had was trouble enough.

I hear cats go to heaven.
Don't know about the other animals.

Hey the dogs get let in first so if cats are there then dogs have to be.

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

I think cats go first.
