That's one thing I envy about people who die - they have THE ANSWER, and can't tell us!

There was an ancient Jewish philosopher who said words to the effect heaven/afterlife cannot be explained to us any more than colours can be explained to a blind person, nor music to a deaf one.

I guess we just have to wait.
I concur w/this philosophy. It's the best we've got until we know for sure. Whatever the case may be, we PTers give our beloved furkids the best life we can NOW and that's what most important in my eyes. We work w/God as a team. After that, God takes over completely.
