About a month ago one of my family pets was put to sleep. It was a dog. She had lived a good life and that I miss her. She felt like part of the family. I just know that I will see her again in the next life. Even though dogs are not humans and never will be but at times they feel part of the family. They are the kind of pet that knows will hear you out and won't talk back to you. They are the ones to cheer you up when feeling sad or lonely. I'm thankful to be able to know that there is life after this life. It would stink to think that this life is all there is and nothing to look forward after this life is end. I mean what would be the point to get married and have kids or pets and then when they die not to see them again. That would be devastating. I don't think I could live a life like that.
We are all here on this earth for a reason. To help to return to live with our Heavenly Father. There are times when we need help and for that reason he sends us someone to cheer us up. We all face struggles in this life and when someone nice enough comes up and says something nice, does a smile, says hi, etc. It does make the day a bit brighter and better that someone would go out of their way and make someone else feel better. I know that I have been an angel to my friends at times. As I'm sure you have been an angel to someone as well. The Lord does hear and answer our prayers and I know that we may face a hardship but the fact is that we are loved and that with the faith and prayer we can feel the spirit of comfort and know that we are not alone.

I hear you, Kdog. About two-and-a-half years ago, my family went through the same thing of having to put our old dog to sleep. It was tough, but it was her time. She was like a member of our family, and she left a hole that has been hard to replace.
I am sorry about your dog. thank you for sharing your thoughts and reminding all of us of the hope of the resurrection.
