Thanks, to all of you!
Arlene, 'loved your note---
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2012/arlene43-5.htmThe cartoon I tried--unsuccessfully-- to share was of a man arriving at heaven's gate...and a little puppy is racing toward the man, ears flapping. St Peter tells the man, "You must be little Bobby! Rex has been talking about you for 50 years!"

http://www.all-creatures.org/discuss/ansouls-jv.htmlJubilees 3:28 “On that day the mouth of all the beasts and cattle and birds and whatever walked or moved was stopped from SPEAKING because all of them USED TO SPEAK with one another with one speech and language.”
Certainly C S Lewis believed this--- I bet the new earth will be much like Lewis' Narnia stories!
2 excellent books that have just blessed us so, with excellent Christian scripture proofs are;
There Is Eternal Life for Animalshttp://www.amazon.com/There-Eternal-Animals-Behrikis-Shanahan/dp/0972030107/ref=pd_sim_b_3
and Will I See Fido in Heaven?
We have no Amazon stock--Honest! :)--- but thought we'd share a link for each---Excellent!
(Just a word of warning....you have to be careful on this. Many seemingly-charming books on this subject are very 'new-agey' )
Thanks for all you've shared....we bet our little ones will play together, romping on lush new grass, one day SOON!
