OT for those who have recently lost pets

[Guest guest]

A man and his favorite goat 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 ol goat walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high white stonewall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill there was a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw amagnificent gate in the arch that looked like Mother of Pearl, and thestreet that let to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the ol goat walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at the 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 mangestured, and the gate began to open. “Can my friend,” gesturing toward his favorite goat, come in too?’ thetraveler 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 with is ol goat. 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 his goat. “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 his goat. When they were full, he and the goat 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”, heanswered. “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 gats? Nope. That’sHell” 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’d leave their best friends behind.
