When I was a little girl, I had two baby ducks that I cherished until they died. I found hope in knowing that they were in heaven until my aunt informed me that no animals went to heaven because they didn't have souls. It broke my heart and changed my little girl version of heaven from a place filled with beautiful fields, forests and animals to a stark white place with clouds and no fun at all.Christy Locksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200380313250803301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-83098653587436972192007-05-02T08:17:00.000-04:002007-05-02T08:17:00.000-04:00I'm convinced that those folks who don't believe a...I'm convinced that those folks who don't believe animals have souls have never lived with a dog or cat.<BR/><BR/>And how poor they are for it. <BR/><BR/>Loved the book. <BR/><BR/>BJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-38456926147590254062007-05-02T07:52:00.000-04:002007-05-02T07:52:00.000-04:00Oh Angie, I love what you said about animals havin...Oh Angie, I love what you said about animals having souls. I've never heard that and I've studied the Bible for years. I put down one of my cats last year and I just couldn't beleive he was literally gone. He was like a wise soul in a cat body.<BR/>As for emotions. If a person says that animals have no feelings then they need to meet my cat, Chessie. She literally gets so angry at me when she demands attention at a very given moment and I cannot stoop what I'm doing to give her a scratch on her back. Her eyes burn with anger, she complains, her tone of voice changes and she stomps off to the bedroom and her "pillow throne" in disgust. But what is so amazing is she never remembers that she's angry at me. When I can give her attention she is as loving as can be. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to catching a moment to discuss our animals when we meet at CCWC. I'm in the 301 Nangie class :-)Pamela S.
