October 27 was an eventful day. It was the birthday of my grandfather, who passed away several years back. It was also the day my dog Roxie, decided to take a nap and never wake up.
Roxie was old. She had health issues and was a bit senile, barking at anything and everything. Although it will be different now that she's again I am somewhat appeased that she is better off. She's probably with my other dogs who have moved on before her.
My bestfriend once told me that dogs, like all animals, don't have souls and don't really go anywhere after they die. I don't think that's true. If there was one thing we truly disagreed on it was this. I couldn't believe that my God would create such creatures and simply forget them when they passed on. I'd like to think that my God cared enough to open the gates to heaven and accept all creatures. Yes. Roxie and my other dogs are in heaven. This is what I believe.
