from the mouth of babes.......
The other night my children were discussing a movie "All Dogs go to Heaven". After a while they drew me into the conversation.
Some of the many questions asked ---
There are people who believe in heaven. Do these people who believe in heaven believe that animals will also go to heaven?
If animals go to heaven and they had many owners, who get's them?
What happens if you had lots of pets?
Does your path believe that animals go to species specific heavens?
I told my children that I didn't know the specific answers and that I would research the questions; part of my research is asking for other people's opinions.
My son (age 7) had the final thought on the subject.
Son: Mom, if there is a mouse heaven, it will be huge compared to human heaven."
Me: Why is that?
Son: Because a human will live to be like 80 and have only a few children. A mouse will live to be 6 and can have like 20 babies a year. So in 80 years there might be 5 new humans from one family to go to human heaven but in 80 years there might be thousands of mice to go to mouse heaven. Mouse heaven would have to be HUGE. Human heaven would be puny.

What beautiful questions your children asked. Here on earth we spend some time with family, some with friends and some alone. Heaven is probably similar, so you could spend some time with each of your pets, and your pets could spend some time with each of their owners.
Since time and space would probably be infinite in heaven, you could be with anyone at anytime.
