Do all dogs go to heaven?

The other night as we drove home from karate we passed by a church who's sign read "Will dogs be with us in heaven?" It seemed to be appropriate for what's been on my mind recently.

I've mentioned that Mikey and I are softies when it comes to animals. - This could be apparent by our five animals, or by my recent bout of kitty fever.

I especially am sucked into the wag of a tail, the nudge of a wet nose, and of course those big sad eyes. I want to save all the dogs who have been abandoned by their owners because they "got their yard landscaped and didn't want it to get messed up" (an actual reason I saw for a dog named Andy here) or the kitties who are found in boxes in alleyways.

I do believe that "All Dogs Go to Heaven." Animals have such pure and welcoming hearts and I want to save them all. I know, not possible but last week I decided I would take initiative in helping animals (and not by adding another mouth to our already crowded home).

I'm going to start volunteering at one of our local animal shelters. The Humane Society of Boulder sounds like the perfect place for me to involve myself with our needy friends. Last Wednesday I went to a informational volunteer meeting, and now I'm really looking forward to starting there on a regular basis.

There will definitely be updates as I'm planning on starting soon!
