On 25 June 2002 at approximately 5AM Booger went to a better place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BOOGER "The Wonder Dog"

 

 
Gone, But Never Forgotten

 

Booger "The Wonder Dog" was Ace's Friend and Loyal Companion for nearly a Decade and a Half.

He Was One of The Family and Truly One of A Kind.

He Left a Void That Will Not Be Filled, Till We Meet Again in a Better Place.

 

 

 
He Was Simply The Best


The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy.  His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful.  Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith.  The money that a man has, he may lose.  It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most.  A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action.  The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its' clouds upon our heads.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.  A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and Dogzpoverty, in health and sickness.  He will sleep on the cold ground, when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side.  He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world.  He guards the sleep of his pauper master, as if he were a prince.When all other friends desert, he remains.  When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its' journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger to fight his enemies; and when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its' embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.


In the beginning, God created Adam and then animals for Adam's companionship.
In fact, animals were actually created before Eve was created to be a companion to Adam.


Do Pets and Animals have an Afterlife ?
Is there Eternal Life For Pets and Animals ?

 

God's word teaches us
that animals will be in heaven.

 

 

God promises that He will not withhold any good thing from those who love Him.

Ecclesiastes 3 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

19For humans and animals both breathe the same air,* and both die.
* 3:19 Or both have the same spirit.

20Both go to the same place-

21For who can prove that the human spirit goes upward and the spirit of animals goes downward into the earth?

 

  (Living Bible)

----"For we know that even the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as they await that great event. . . "

 

  Revelation 19 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

Christ on a White Horse

11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean,
followed Him on white horses.

 

  Revelation 21 :: King James Version (KJV)

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

 

  During Christ’s Millennial reign,
Isaiah 11:6-8 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den.


God is able to bring pets back from dust and ashes as simply as He does humans when the dead in Christ rise.
(I Thessalonians 4:16-18)

Many Bible scholars teach that our pets will be raptured or resurrected at the same time we believers are.
(I Thessalonians 4:16-18; I Corinthians 15:51-54)

Many of the greatest theological scholars, both past and present, emphatically and dogmatically taught and teach that our Pets will be in heaven with us including Billy Graham ... W. A. Criswell ... Edward Hinson ... J. Vernon McGee ... Dr. John Walvoord ... among numerous others!

Dr. E. D. Buckner, author of The Immortality of Animals in 1903, named scores of theologians who asserted 100 years ago that heaven is inundated with animal life!

Dr. John Walvoord, past president of Dallas Theological Seminary and the greatest prophetical genius of the 20th century, says our pets will be raised from the dead at the Rapture mentioned in
Revelation 4:1 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-54!

Dr. William R. Newell and Dr. William Pettingill in their separate studies on the book of Romans both clearly affirm that our pets will be with us eternally!

Earth is a pattern of what's in heaven, so God's eternal home on earth must certainly be filled with pets
(Hebrews 9:23)

Even dragons and all that are in the ocean praise God
(Psalms 148:7)!




A FOOTNOTE From Ace :

I have read the Bible many times and am reading it again right now.
It is very plain for me to see that there will be animals in heaven!

After I lost my boy "Booger" my wonder dog and friend for almost 15 years ,
my wife Penny begged me for well over a year to get another dog before I gave in .
It seemed so foreign for me to even consider it .
We had multiple confrontations about it .
I didn't even want to consider it .

I finally let her get a little dog we named "Missy".
She is about the same size as Booger was.

At first I thought there could never be any connection between myself and any other "New" dog again.
It didn't come easy , but after a few months I couldn't help but see that this "New" dog loved me and was/is a blessing from the Almighty Lord God.
I know she is not Booger and can never take the place of Booger.

It is impossible for me to explain for there are no words.
All I know is the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away according to his will/plan,
it is not ours to understand.
I think if you read the book of Job in the Holy Bible you will see a similar situation.
