Just a thought.

evrything alive breathes, and I think mosquitoes actually consume thimgs that are harmful to us, I guess that balances out their pestiness.

I don't think there will be any dogs in heaven, but if there is, I sure hope there are scoops there as well!

I believe God has will have whatever he wants.

He saved animals in the Ark...

I know some of them were to repopulate the earth.

However if he saved them once.

Why not again.

He used animals in many of this stories.

Why not have the Lion sitting next to a Lamb in Glory?

There simply is no scriptures for anyone to say.....No.

She was crying about it and saying that she was glad she would see it in heaven. Weeelllll....some well meaning soul took it upon themselves to tell her that was not the reality of the situation, and my Great Aunt responded with this..."If there are gonna be lions and lambs up there- then I am for certain, there will be dogs. It may not be my CoCo, but if there are dogs at all, then I will be content..." !!!!!!!

Any thoughts or comments?? I had never thought about it one way or the other...

Of course, I know of at least ONE poster who would be happy if there were a few good COON dogs up there!!!

I originally thought that all dogs go to heaven, and I had a basset hound (Basil (as in Basil Rathbone)) that went directly to lie at the foot of Peter's post when he died. My other basset (Dudley) was the only living thing I felt needed to work his way into heaven during his last years because the first part of his life...well...I think he finally made it in. My poor bubbas, I miss em.

Since dogs don't have souls don't they just decompose?

Don't know about dogs but there are horses in heaven .....

Revelation 19

The Rider on the White Horse

11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS..
