Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 24, 2024

I don’t see the Rainbow Bridge.

No horses? I’m not going.

You’d think the express door would be smaller. but they had to make it big enough for horses, apes, snakes and all the rest of the animals. Only mankind’s heart is impure…. by choice.

We have stores with whole sections of products dedicated to killing “pests” and hunting down animals for fun. With rare exception no other species kills except for survival purposes.

I wouldn’t mind spending eternity there, with the cats and dogs.

Wrong! Cat Heaven is Mouse Hell

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went.” —Will Rogers, American humorist

Purr-fect!

As close to Heaven as he will ever get

Seventh Heaven.

Dogs I can understand, but CATS?!?!

And the first shall be last.

Some people say that all dogs go to heaven.

I say that dogs bring a bit of heaven to Earth.

So cats and dogs know how to use an elevator? And why are there so many buttons on the inside panel if it’s an express?

If you try to take a short cut (or the easy way), you may find yourself at the end of the line (if you’re lucky).

Is that only for cats and dogs that can operate an elevator?

He wouldn’t fit through the pet door, anyway (by design).

We will have to humble ourselves in order to come before an Eternal God.

In Heaven, dogs and cats can read signs and push elevator buttons. (Some dogs can push the elevator buttons on Earth.)

My idea of heaven is being reunited with all my former pets.

I thought he was going to wind up in the other place!

From Nathan Ausuble, A Treasury of Jewish Folklore: A rich man, who had been stingy all his life, suddenly sickened and died. As his spirit floated down into the other world, the demons seized hold of him by his hands and feet and whirled him down to Hell. At this he began to shriek: “Help! Let me go! I belong in Paradise and not in Hell!” “Only people who have done good on earth go to Heaven,” the imps teased him. “But I have one good deed to my credit,” wailed the spirit. “What is that?” they asked him. “Twenty years ago I gave a ruble to a poor man. I swear I did! Look into your account book and you’ll see it’s entered to my credit.” The demons, not knowing what to do with him, sent a messenger posthaste to consult God in the matter. “Return his ruble to the wretch,” commanded God angrily, “and send him straight to the Devil!”

If there aren’t any dogs in heaven, I ain’t going.

I figured he was going to end up in hades.

So, umm… where are the Wiley Bears? Shouldn’t THEY be up there?

Remember Bill Clinton donating his old underwear to charity as a tax write off?

People watch ads with sad and hurt animals and get all upset (people in my family even start crying) and send in money. Yet there are millions of children starving every day. Maybe we need to rethink the “marketing”.

If animals can get in, it might be our only chance to see dinosaurs

Why not cats? They can give unconditional love as well as dogs and ask othing in trurn except love, food and a warm bed (usually yours)

Do mosquitoes go to Heaven?

To misquote a famous Republican: “Cats are people too”.

I’m a BIG dog lover and always have been but seeing what pleasure they have given my sister over the years because she is a cat person I can agree that they deserve their heaven too. They mean so much to so many people and bring so much joy and companionship too. I still love dogs WAAYYY more though.

If my puppy and kitty babies are not there, I’m not going!

A man found himself walking along a country road. With him was his dog; since the dog died a few years earlier, he realized that he must be dead as well.

They came to what looked like a top of the line luxury hotel. The doorman called to him “welcome to Heaven!” The man said “I’m awfully thirsty. Could I have a drink of water? And some for my dog?” “I’m sorry sir”, the doorman replied, “we do not allow dogs here”. At that the man said “I won’t leave my dog. I guess we’ll have to keep going”.

After a few more miles, they came to what looked like a ramshackle farm, with a farmer working near the gate. “Welcome”, the farmer said. The man replied “thanks. I’m pretty thirsty. Could I get a drink of water?” “Certainly” the farmer replied. The pump is right over there". “Could I get some for my dog?” the man asked. “You’ll find a pan hanging by the pump just for that purpose” the farmer replied.

After the man and his dog had both drank, the man asked “what is this place?” “This is Heaven” the farmer replied. Now the man was confused. “but at a place a few miles back, they told me that was Heaven”.

The farmer asked “was that the big hotel there? That’s Hell”. “Don’t you get annoyed that they would tell people it’s heaven?” the man asked. “Not at all” the farmer replied. “They are doing us a favor by weeding out anyone who would leave his best friend behind”.

I don’t know, if my allergies weren’t a problem that wouldn’t be so bad.

I HOPE I GET A CHANCE TO TAKE THE ELEVATOR TO DOG HEAVEN.

LOVE it.

I Love Cats!

Cats are wonderful animals and companions. The difference is you have to earn their respect, trust and love. Dogs will love you even if you don’t deserve it.

Forgive me Lord, but that’s the Heaven I’d prefer.

Funny I thought that button would send him down below.

I’d stay there. They’re much more interesting than humans.

I would have thought anyone trying to take that elevator (except, of course, Fred Rogers) would be sent directly downstairs to the hot place.

Everyone is getting this wrong. The elevator is for animal lovers so they can cross over to be with their pets. I’m surprised this guy wasn’t stampeded by Cat Ladies.

What is that? Catatory?

I would stay there forever.

LOL I would have made it an Express Elevator to H.

People who take shortcuts is one of God’s pet peeves.

cats I can understand, but dogs!!!

If I poked my head through and saw it was just a Doggie-Door, not a combo Cat-Flap, I would stay. Staaay… Good person! Treat?

No Wiley bears?

If those are his reasons for taking the express it should take him to the other place.

No beer?

SO nice to open Non Sequitur and not see Danae…

I’ll take the animals.

I would get off there!

I don’t get the problem. Why not just stay there with the dogs and cats?

I would try my hardest to squeeze through the door. I much prefer animals to most humans.

Dogs and cats are better than most humans. Let in a Siamese a couple of months ago who is the best behaved . Of course I’m prejudiced, 10 cats, 6 birds at the moment. Last 4 kittens showed up without mom. 5-6 weeks old. What’s a person to do ?

If cats and dogs can get along in heaven, I wonder if Democtats and Republicans will be able to do so as well…

At least one major religious group believes that animals other than humans do not have souls. Personally I don’t think anyone has one but I am wondering about the presence of dogs and cats in the afterlife. Why not cuttlefish and capybaras just to mention a couple of more from the C group?

NAILED IT (except for the cats – I’m with boneroller42)

Well, dogs and cats want nothing but to be loved .. and in the case of cats, to be fed!

True enough. No soul more pure and innocent than a fur-baby! <3

He doesn’t deserve heaven! He found his way into absolute paradise and LEFT. If I found that wonderful door I’d shimmy through it no matter how tight it was and they’d have to drag me out kicking and screaming!

The pet door detail is a nice touch!

Looks like one of dogs went along to comfort him. He may be salvageable.

I love this Wiley ♥♥♥

Waitaminute! What are all those cats doing there? I mean, I love my cats, of course, and I don’t think they go to the “bad” place, but they don’t have the purity that dogs have. They would have to stay in line with the rest of us.

so whats wrong with kittens and puppy heaven?

What about LAUGHING GRAVY?

So just stay in that corridor.. you can play with the pets thru the door, and if is possible to lose weight from… starvation…? eventually you’ll fit thru it..
