First, know there is a doggy heaven and your puppy dog of 13 years will join many happy former human companions.
Second, when I went through my last puppy dog's demise, I said I would not have a dog right away.
That lasted one day. The next morning, now ten years ago, I woke up and started calling rescue places.

My Redbone Coon hound had just been picked up the day before and when I got to rescue, he had made a real good buddy. I adopted both and have never looked back.
Two great puppy dogs and ten years of joy for all of us.

Emily, I sincerely feel your pain. Sometimes the passing of a beloved dog is worse than the passing of a good friend - what better friend is there that compares to this faithful friend? When Jeanette and I finally had to have Morgan, our Springer Spaniel, euthanized we found a vet that came to our home. Morgan was on her love seat, the vet immediately gave her an anti-anxiety shot. There was none of the trauma and drama associated with having to take her out of her home and she left us peacefully.

Those of us have suffered losing a beloved dog know well that a piece of your heart is buried with this faithful friend. There is no getting around this t***h. This grief you will have is hard work, very hard work, because the hard work is a labor of love.

I'm going to recommend something you might think is outrageous. Get another dog soon. Part of the pain you and your husband will feel is because the great love your heart has for your dog remains but you've got nothing to share it with, it just sits there and aches. There is nothing unfaithful about bringing another dog into your home and loving it, quite the opposite. Doing so will help you express the love you're used to giving and there is someone desperately waiting to receive it.

Finally, some of the saints past believed beloved pets would be with us in heaven. I expect they considered the sincere and genuine love man has for his dog and the reciprocal love a dog has for man can only come from the Source of all love - and love endures eternally. I hope this is true!

Many of us will be be with you in spirit today.

Yes sir! It was a very odd experience I wasn't able to move my body but I can move my head around a little bit and I just laid there in my bed and this Critter was out in the tree on the second floor at first I was horrified when I recognized what I saw and then was immediately put to rest to say. Meaning I felt very unthreatened. And we just looked at each other. I felt at peace. It didn't make any threatening Notions or faces it just looked at me the same way a mother watches it's baby sleeping in the crib. If that means anything. It looked at me and felt like I was being adored. And then later on after about the 90 minutes I just turned my head slightly off to the left and went back to sleep. And then in the morning at first light I woke up launched out of bed and went to the window we did not need screens and look into the tree where the critter had its feet sitting on the branch and kept an eye on the exact spots on the tree branches where it was holding on to the tree and I was 100% positive I was not seeing a trick of light and shadows. And at that point I absolutely did not have one thought in my head. So I went and took a shower put on my uniform want to roll call and then went and did my job running a dozer out in the desert about 200 miles Northwest of the Great Salt Lake. Later in the week I decided to take my lunch for a walk up the side of the mountain and found a strange domed Rock as if I was subconsciously led to it and it was hollowed out like a sphere and it had Stone seats in it in a circle and there was some straw on the floor. The opening was about 2 feet around on the top of the Rock and the top of the seats where approximately 10 ft down from the opening in the rock it was about seven seats in the bottom a small area to walk around them and there was an area around the outside of the sitting area to probably allow about 10 to 12 people to camp out. It was built in the bass Rock not the loose roll which was everywhere I believe it may have been an ancient Native American Shelter. But couldn't imagine the life of me how did they clean that thing out. To chip all that rock out the way they did would take a man's lifetime. Unless it was not made by the Native Americans. It was about three to four hundred yards up the slope of the mountain from the area where we were working. After upon finding it I just came back down the mountain and something in my subconscious told me not to mention a word about it to anybody. Same as my other experience. So yeah there's some things out there. I did want to jump down into the domed Rock but it look like a perfect place for rattlesnakes plus the fact that never get out of the damn thing. I'd like to go back out there but itself in the middle of the dulsac range otherwise known as Area 52. And no I am not making this s**t up. I guess it's better than being probed. It was actually a very interesting experience. And I kept it quiet for over 30 years. Anyway all y'all have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours! Our world is much more mysterious than most know. Much and maybe most of our history has been covered up. I had one weird experience in childhood and I've seen one demon-possessed person climb up a wall and onto the ceiling. At the time he was dying of cancer and was bed-ridden. So, I've been open-minded for years.

I don't believe in space aliens, I only believe in good and bad angels. With the left and evil serving the bad angels and Satan and Christians serving God and working with the good angels. It's up to us to figure out who is who and we can be deceived if we don't test the spirits. The offspring of the fallen angels are demons and their half-human bodies were drowned but not their spirits which are eternal. These are the ones Jesus cast out of people and so can we as followers of Jesus. They have no power over those covered by the blood of Jesus and we have to be watchmen and watchwomen and alert or we can and will be deceived.

Keep the faith and be faithful the end times are quickly approaching whether people believe it or not. The NWO, this Pope, the left, MS-13, p*******es, pagans all serve Satan and are already deceived. They are the goats.

They are working in every government and criminal organization. Christians and Jews need to wake up, we don't just battle against flesh and blood but spirits and principalities in high places. Some look human and some look demonic. We have to be able to decern between them or get taken down and out. That's my opinion and take on all this weird stuff. I don't advise being taken in by the little ones the tall ones the white or grey ones, they are all demons. Figure out who is good and the bad. The Bible tells you how to do it and there is no reason to fear. They are destined for the pit, not you. Many and most people have been fooled and missed righteousness and Jesus.

My advice is don't be one of them, there are good and bad priests, pastors, rabbis, leaders, and rulers. Trust Jesus and the followers of Jesus. The path is narrow and most miss it. The path to destruction is broad and well-traveled. Be wise and don't fall for the lies. That's the job and duty of each one or person. Heaven or Hell. Jesus or Satan. It's just that easy and just that hard. Choose wisely!
