I think I saw a post on this a while back, or even commented on it but I can't recall now. Anyway, we had to put down our dog recently who's been with us many years. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. My wife and I were both by her side as they administered the medication and she went peacefully and it was a rather quick process.
We were both tore up for most of the night and the following day but as each day passes it becomes a little easier to cope with.
My wife asked me if we'd see her again and I wasn't sure how to respond. She mentioned a "Rainbow Bridge" apparently where pets cross but I've never heard of that.
Is there anything in scripture that talks about animals, or pets in Heaven? I certainly hope so! If not, why does God place animals in our life that we love, only to pass away, never to be seen again? That is what I struggle with.
