My first mother-in-law once told me that animals don't have souls and so wouldn't make it to Heaveb. How sad that she never got the fact their hearts are far more pure than most humans.
I lost Molly 4 years ago this week. I held her as she slipped away and was shocked at the level of loss that I felt. Dot and Marmaduke have not replaced her but added to to my life.
I live in wonder at the stamina of Jack and the bolshiness of Paddy, whose actually incredibly fragile. 26 years ago I lost Sammy, my first dog, he used to sit with me when I didn't know what to do and put his head on my lap as I sobbed after another soul destroying interaction with my then husband, who ultimately had him put down one night when I was at work.
What she should have said was that her violent, abusive son didn't have a soul worthy of Heaven. I'm pretty certain Molly and Sammy are enjoying their time in Paradise and occasionally making the time to check up on me.
