I have owned 2 horses, 12 dogs, 4 cats, 1 duck, 2 hamsters, more bunnies than can be counted, a few turtles,snakes, lots of fish, and a little lamb for a day. I had a cow or two named after me at the family farm and have delivered umpteen new borns for many, but none held the place in my heart as Winnie. She was the matriarch of the pets. She was there growing up and a key tool in teaching the kids to love. She was with me through almost the entire time I have been ill with Lupus; she layed in bed with me through many illnesses, surgeries, and dark days; in her own way she cared for me through them all. She does indeed hold that spot in my heart of "the most special pet" and I really miss her. Andy may not believe animals are in heaven, but I still do. After all, the Lord has to get that horse from somewhere. Speaking of horses and getting back on, hummmm..... great point. Winnie was without a doubt one of my all time favorite pets – the favorite.

Our Dutchess, a black cocker spaniel, was with us 13 years and loved by the entire family. When her time came, we all cried. But, as you have indicated, owning a pet is both a blessing and a great responsibility. We, too, have decided to forego the blessings in order to enjoy the freedom we have now. I still enjoy petting other peoples pets, including our grand-cat, Raider. But, when we have to chance to "up and go" we now can do that without guilt or hassle. Some can make a good case that there WILL be dogs in heaven (but, not cats . . . :-) . I hope so. But, regardless, I know that God will meet our EVERY need, and, that He has planned blessings that we cannot even imagine. I can't wait . . . !!!! Sorry to hear of your loss.

It reminded us of another call you made after one of your dogs died when you were in Seminary in Ft. Worth. We will have her final resting place ready alongside Eeyore at the farm when the times to bring her here. At least you still have Gabbie, Glavin and Lucy around to keep you entertained!!!
