Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 18, 2023

I always figured if I passed before my golden retriever I’d spend time tossing balls and Frisbees in dog heaven until she arrived. She’s gone now waiting for me.

If none of your past dogs come running for you at the Pearly Gates, you don’t come in.

Dog Heaven looks so much like MY Heaven (I hope).

No doggy bags needed.

Notice that there are no cats

For a contrasting view, see today’s “Ten Cats”:

Wiley, you DO know what halos were supposed to represent, don’t you? Definitely not frisbees to be chased by your dog – in Heaven or otherwise.

Are those people Frisbetarians?

Well, most dogs are in heaven now. Sadly some of them are in the other place.

And the wings are so the kitties have feathers to play with :)

Thank you God for the gift’s of Dogs N Cats N Birds N Wales N All of the other Wonderful Animals You Created

A true classic for all us dog lovers! Thank you Mr. Miller.

if i can’t make to heaven please send me to dog heaven

That’s not my dog. He says, “You threw it, so you fetch it!”

That’s pretty much the only reason I would consider believing in an afterlife. We’ve enjoyed the company of so many wonderful critters.

If there are no dogs in heaven, I ain’t goin’

As long as there are more Dogs in Heaven then modern “Christians”, I wouldn’t mind going there. The dogs are MUCH more honest and MUCH better company.

I just hope when I get there my dogs are still as happy to see me. You know. The vet and all that.

The ultimate reward. Living your afterlife with dogs of your choice. Heaven knows I miss my German Shorthaired Pointer. Keep waiting boy; It won’t be long now.

As my grandfather said, “If there ain’t no dogs, it ain’t heaven.”

The Bible speaks little about this; but the Living Bible paraphrased translation of Romans 8:19-22 says “… all creation is waiting patiently and hopefully for that future day when God will resurrect his children … even the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as they await this great event.”

Would that it were so.

I hope some of my dogs will come to meet me. Especially the last two I owned back in Montreal.

Wiley, I hope you are right!!!!

I wonder if Australian dogs fetch boomerangs

Love it!

Do they boys get to lift their leg on the pearly gates?

When it comes to playing fetch, my dog just doesn’t get it.

This would be a lovely thing to look forward to.

My old hound Mr. Duke passed Saturday morning. We read this and nine other comic strips every morning for eleven years. He now runs the Elysian Fields free as can be.

But Waring Hudsucker said halos were just a fad.

If I believed, I would need asbestos cats and dogs. That’s alright, I’ll be in management, not shoveling coal.

Oh I love this!

So true!!!

Every time you pet a dog, you live a day longer!

Well, halos were invented by painters long, long ago to designate certains figures in their paintings as “holy”.

Halos don’t look like that except among cheap stage plays. Also angels are a very different species from humans.

Most of our dogs would have entered with my mother. Our latest one is at the Rainbow Bridge.

Rusty, our Dane Shepherd loves playing catch/fetch with a frisbee. Unfortunately he loves playing tug-of-war with the frisbee after he retrieves it. We go through a lot of frisbees. Tennis balls too.

Nice “nailing in”.
