Is Heaven Full of Dogs?

Is Heaven Full of Dogs?	Next Chapter: It Takes Two To Weave
I have often wondered if there are dogs in heaven. I hope so. You see, I love dogs — big gentle dogs especially, but little dogs and middle sized dogs too. Then in The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass (aged 37 ½) 6, by Adrian Plass, I came across the following passage… Suddenly found myself on my feet. Felt about six years old as I spoke. "I don’t want to die…" "No," said Father John, "neither do I. Life can be very good. I’m sure Jesus didn’t want to die either. His friends and family, the natural world, laughter, tears, work — he loved it all I’m sure." "But heaven—the idea of heaven seems so … I don’t know…" "What is your name?" asked the monk. "Adrian…" "Adrian, what are you interested in — really interested in, I mean?" "Cricket." Didn’t mean to tell the truth. It just slipped out. "So," said Father John, "for you, Adrian, God has to make sure that heaven is at least as exciting and stimulating and satisfying as scoring a century (100 points) against Australia (cricket team) at Lords (preeminent cricket field in Great Britain). Is that your wife sitting next you?" Anne smiled and nodded. "If Adrian keels over suddenly, my dear, and he’s on the point of death, you’ll know what to do now?" "Yes," laughed Anne, "I’ll buckle a pair of (cricket) pads on him — quick." Felt as if someone had opened a window and let air into a stuffy room. If Adrian wants heaven to be as exciting and stimulating and satisfying as a great cricket match, then I want heaven to be as exciting and stimulating and satisfying as a room full of dogs — all sizes and breeds. I strongly suspect it will be.
There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. (John 14:2 NLT)
Loving heavenly Father, I must admit that the idea of doing nothing but singing your praises for eternity doesn’t really excite me. But the idea of being in your presence, singing your praises, actively participating, being loved and loving other people does excite me. Help me to trust in your promises for a wonderful and exciting future in your heaven. Amen. P.S. And if dogs are there, too, then that will be a wonderful added bonus.
Questions for consideration... What do I really think Heaven will be like? What special activity do I hope to find there? What don't I expect to find there? How does this make me feel about life after death?
