If The Good Lord Calls Me, Who'll Look After Fluffy & Rex

Is there a reason that thay can 't go along ?

hard to say, according to this film


not sure about the cats though

and then there was this great Twilight Zone episode

The Hunt

Hyder Simpson lives with his wife and his hound-dog Rip in the backwoods. Mrs. Simpson does not like having the dog indoors, but Rip saved Hyder's life once, and Hyder won't be parted from him. Mrs. Simpson has seen some bad omens recently, and warns Hyder not to go raccoon hunting that night. When Rip dives into a pond after a raccoon, Hyder jumps in after him, but only the raccoon comes up out of the water. Next morning, Hyder and Rip wake up next to the pond. When they return home, Hyder finds that neither his wife, the preacher, nor the neighbors can hear him or see him—they seem to think that he and Rip are dead.

Walking along the road, he encounters a fence he doesn't recognize, and decides to follow it. Presently, both come to a gate. The gatekeeper explains that he is Saint Peter and that Simpson can enter the Elysian Fields, but he is disheartened to hear that there is no raccoon hunting in heaven, nor are there any of his other usual pleasures. When he is told that Rip can't enter and will be taken elsewhere (up the road), he angrily goes on down the "Eternity Road" rather than enter the gate without his beloved dog, figuring that, "any place that's too high-falootin' for Rip is too fancy for me." Later, after stopping to rest at a log, Simpson and Rip are met by a young angel whose job is to find and bring them to Heaven.

Simpson tells the angel about his experience at the first gate, commenting "Son, that'd be a helluva place without Rip!" The angel replies "Mr. Simpson, you ain't far wrong - that is Hell! Heaven's up yonder apiece," pointing up Eternity Road. When asked by Simpson why the gatekeeper at the gate to Hell wouldn't let him bring Rip inside with him, the angel explains that the reason Rip was not allowed in was because the dog would have been able to smell the brimstone and alerted Simpson that something was wrong. The angel goes on to say, "You see Mr. Simpson, a man, well, he'll walk right into Hell with both eyes open. But even the Devil can't fool a dog!"

The angel also tells Hyder that there will be a raccoon hunt in Heaven that night, "right after the square dance," and assures him that his wife, who will be coming shortly, will not have any trouble with the Devil up the way.

I 'd wager that applies to white bunny rabbits, too

I wonder if those dog sitters are making any real money.

they ran a poll on coast to coast am last night asking if folks thought it was fake or not, end result was about 50/50, the show wanted to speak to the site owner but they declined

If they take any money in interstate commerce they better not be fake or the owner of the business will need the rapture and Jesus to get him out of prison.

What a silly thing to say. Of course they're going!

Cats is the spawn of Satan . . . ever'body knows that. So if they was cats there, it wouldn't be heaven no more, so they can't be no cats in heaven.

Macavity est un mystère
Un mystère insondable
C'est le félin le plus pervers
L'incarnation du diable

Well I am happy that my cats then will be with me in the afterlife instead of heaven.

Given the people who claimed they are sure to get into heaven heaven would be the last damn placed I would wish to be.

Anyone here enjoy the idea of spending forever hanging around with JGoldman for example?
