Re: Do our pets go to heaven?

I don't know, but if they do, we'll have to have an extra house just for the animals that have passed on from our family. Thus far the count has been:

Ten chicks (Jeff and I bought them right after we were married, they were all grabbed by a possum or other critter on their first night outside, except for the biggest named "Gusto", who unfortunately didn't survive our overzealous attempts to "save" him with the hair dryer. )

1 gray persian cat
1 siamese cat, Sapphire, died of old age at about 18
2 labs, Jethro & Zipporah (at different times)
1 bichon frise named Cracker Jacque, hit by a car
1 lovely silver tabby named Tiger, killed by contaminated pet food (remember that?)
1 boxer mix stray named Stella, hit by the neighbor's truck
1 beta fish named Valentine
2 hamsters, Henry & Harvey
10 goldfish, who only survived one night
1 Boston Terrier named Chloe
