Fisher, my animal-friendly-sensitive-son, asked about animals in heaven the other day. We had been talking about life cycles, the food chain, etc... he witnessed a large cat eat a deer in an animal documentary and was ver sad for the deer. I assured him that the deer would go on to live a happy life in Eternity and went further still to assure him that all animals go to a Happy Place after they die.
Chandler, my eldest-know-it-all-son amended my answer quickly and matter of factly by adding:
"Not All Animals... DEMON PIGS, Remember?! How could they go to heaven with demons in 'em?"
He had me there.
