My dog was 13 also when I had to put her to sleepa few years ago. I think I had a mini nervous breakdown when she passed on. The Bible says the Good Lord wants to give us the desires of our heart in Heaven. One of my desires is to see her there and for us to be together for eternity, so I am fully expecting to see her there.
Sometimes before I go to sleep at night I ask to dream about heaven and end up dreaming about my dog. I still love her very much. What's interesting is when I dream about her, she is sleeping in a yard among other sleeping dogs. It is like she senses my walking into the yard, opens her eyes, gets up and walks over to me like she has been waiting and knew I would come to get her. When I look around at the other dogs, I sense the same thing, like they are sleeping, waiting for their loved one to pick them up. There are people there who are caring for the dogs and love them very much. It is a beautiful place and very peaceful. I sensed a great deal of happiness from the people when my dog and I are reunited.
So Yes, I have hope and will continue to believe.
