I am off to Michigan this afternoon to see my family, so I am really looking forward to it.<BR/>We have a cat who is 12 years old and in good health. But we've been thinking about getting another cat just to keep him company and hopefully give him more exercise during the day when we aren't home. <BR/>Take care,<BR/>KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149591289204807405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-3702108730346472652008-08-18T09:27:00.000-07:002008-08-18T09:27:00.000-07:00Thank you for your very kind sentiments, Kevin.

I really appreciate that you took the time to read this post and comment.<BR/><BR/>For us, having our second dog has REALLY helped us through the grieving process. When I see the areas in our home where Heidi's bed used to be, and her dog dishes were, a pang of sorrow, grief and emptiness comes upon me. However, IMO, coming home to a completely pet-empty house would have been far worse.<BR/><BR/>We want to get another dog in the future. Just not sure when yet.<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a nice vacation!<BR/><BR/>ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-6699948273186817582008-08-18T09:15:00.000-07:002008-08-18T09:15:00.000-07:00Hi Christine,So sorry to hear about your dog.

But we always did. <BR/>KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149591289204807405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-75390120032575388922008-08-14T09:05:00.000-07:002008-08-14T09:05:00.000-07:00Thank you Steve.

I really appreciate your kind comments.<BR/><BR/>You are so right when you included the need for Christians to <I>contend</I> for the faith as well as evangelize. I hope that you will read my new post <A HREF="http://talkwisdom.blogspot.com/2008/08/their-own-consciences-testify.html" REL="nofollow">Their Own Consciences Testify.</A> I have also included some additional commentaries and links in the comment section.<BR/><BR/>Staying silent while the homosexual activists rampage against Christians is not the answer. More Christians need to see this for what it is - a battle between good and evil.<BR/><BR/>Proposition 8 (CA marriage issue) will be one of the most important ballot measures in our nation's history. It is THAT IMPORTANT. Please keep this in your prayers.<BR/><BR/>The opposition is spending millions of dollars on T.V. commercials designed to appeal emotionally towards what is being perceived and presented as "taking away the right for gays to marry." I have set up a new blog called <A HREF="http://protectbiblicalmarriage-christinewjc.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Protect Biblical Marriage</A>. I hope that you will consider visiting there (and spreading the word about it) so that we can educate people about what is really at stake in this important issue.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and God bless!<BR/>Love,<BR/>ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-81804730581857973152008-08-13T18:29:00.000-07:002008-08-13T18:29:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear about your loss Christine.

I'm sure she brought you all so much love -- as I'm sure you gave her the most wonderful home while she was here.<BR/><BR/>Lord bless you and yours durng this sad time.<BR/><BR/>Love to you and praise God for your evangelizing and contending for the faith that you so faithfully do!

I appreciate each of your sentiments.<BR/><BR/>Carlotta, I have had dogs and cats over the years, but I am definitely more of a "dog lover."<BR/><BR/>Since the Bible tells us that one day, the "lion shall lie down with the lamb," perhaps that means that our beloved pets who have left this earth will be reunited with us in eternity. I surely hope so! I need to get that book, "Do Dogs Go To Heaven?"Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-85717332123926194472008-08-13T16:13:00.000-07:002008-08-13T16:13:00.000-07:00I'm sorry to hear about Heidi.

Snowball and Brownie can't last forever and to think of the day where we'll no longer have them is no fun at all.<BR/><BR/>I'm a dog lover first, as these two cats were born in my mother and father's garage by a stray cat. We fell in love with them but I would always tell my kids "I hate cats!" I've said that every year but those darn cats 12 years later are still with us!<BR/><BR/>Our pets are like family and losing them we are losing a part of us.<BR/><BR/>My condolences to you and your family as I know Heidi will be missed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
