More on pets and heaven:

Subject: Heaven or Hell ??
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the
scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He
remembered dying, and that the dog had been dead for years. He wondered
where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along
one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long
hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he
was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that
looked like mother of pearl, and the street that led to the
gate looked like pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer,
he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called
out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered. "Wow! Would you
happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water
brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open. "Can my
friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets." The man thought
a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he
had been going.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long
hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked
as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the
gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?" "Yeah,
sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place that
couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in." "How about my
friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog. "There should be a bowl
by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an
old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the
bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When
they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was
standing by the tree waiting for them.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked. "This is
Heaven," was the answer.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down
the road said that was Heaven, too." "Oh, you mean the place with the
gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like
that?" "No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that
they screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."
