Heaven is like a large Jurrasic Park, filled with T-rexes and velociraptors. The dogs are there for snacks. By the way, velociraptors and T-rexes had feathers - just like angels.
I wonder if the animal souls can eat the human souls. :shock: ;)

With all due respect to Frank, in many ways he's like the rest of us! His mind vacillates to coincide with the opinions and conditions of the day!:)

BTW. Dogs can't go to heaven any more than you can.


Just because you might not be going, you should judge the rest of us by yourself!

Pope say to a young boy whose puppy died " your puppy is in Heaven", media says "pope says dogs go to heaven".

The media needs help.

What surprises me is this even made the news as it is less newsworthy than
what the Kardashians are doing. Who cares whether dogs go to heaven and
how come other animals are not mentioned

What dogs can or can not do is irrelevant. It is newsworthy because the pope made a pronouncement. Therefore it must be so. The catch of course is that you must believe in heaven to care.

I have to disagree with your assertion that a dog is a dog. I have met quite a few dogs in my time and I can attest to the fact that not all dogs are dogs. Some are chickens. I have 2 distinctly different chicken dogs. one clucks and bocks like a chicken and other is afraid of loud noises. 2 types of chickens. Our clucking chicken dog also channels her inner cat when she is cuddled. She purrs.

So, the dog is a dog saying is a myth. Oh, she also has an affinity to pugs. She is not a pug, but she sure does love pugs.
lmao

I wish my cat was more chicken like in nature....she is however quite dog like...if a neighbour opens a door, baby she is in and if she makes it to the bedroom she's ensconced...more chicken would be awesome...

I think the dog that purrs rocks...

also there is a genetic component to my cat...she never stops talking and she can be a bitch.

Native Americans preferred their dog boiled as the meat is rather tough cooked on a spit. Cats I prefer in a stir fry with Teriyaki sauce.

I wonder how well purring would work when the home invaders are at the door!:) There are times when I'm thankful our dog barks, just wish she could do both (at the appropriate times):)

Let me guess, cat-knees chow-mein. Hope you two get to share that memory in the afterlife

OMG, my cat too. I've woken up and she's holding a full on converstion with herself. They say cats don't talk to other cats, but she does. She talks to the cats, the dogs, she talked to our goldfish (not about anything nice, I'm sure) she talks to the walls, the ceiling and too herself all the f' en time. I'm surprised she doesn't talk in her sleep.

Our dog barks. If you're the neighbours cat, you ain't moving anywhere without her telling the whole house about it. If you're a person walking a dog by our house, she'll let you know that she's sad you've not brought your dog over to say hello. If you walk into our house to rob us, chances are she's upstairs in bed snoring and doesn't even hear you. Until our home alarm goes off, then she's all roar.

Because she's a schnauzer, She can only warn (if she's awake). She isn't built for protection. She's entirely too cute to be intimidating. She looks like an ewok.

At least a thief on the sneak wouldn't pick it up once he has opened the front door. You don't get bonus points showing up in the grave by being killed with your own defensive weapon. Do you have a scope on the one meant for 'indoor work'? Loaded and behind your bedroom door is the way it goes, thieves got in and rewrote that part just before publishing.

You are right. I have to be honest. She does get it from me. I talk to her, the other cats, the dogs, the plants, all as if they understand. Mind you I do sound like I'm talking to a baby or a toddler... gah! Not genetic though, environmental. she had to learn it from something. Poor silly kitty.
