Pam, I don't sign on anymore but my roommate brought to my attention the thread started by fairlady about seeing our pets in heaven so I am just hearing the terrible news.

I am so sorry about your losing your baby Murfy Smurfy. I also firmly believe we will see our pets in heaven. There really is a Rainbow Bridge, even if it's not exactly as described in the poem! Every Christian knows there are rewards in heaven based on our obedience on earth, and one of God's commands was for us to husband the animals. I believe our reward for doing that is that we will see the animals we loved and cared for for their too-short time on earth.

Give Winston extra hugs. I usually tell people at this point to consider adopting another homeless kitty when their period of grief is over, but I have a feeling you will be doing that anyway.

Love and hugs to Pam, Winston, and Murfy, and God bless you all.
