In the
Animal's Eden all the pets that have passed over and are waiting for their special
human are free to do what they want, and because it is a heavenly place, none
of them want to do anything that harms their animal friends. The horses and
ponies graze and gallop in the meadows. The dogs romp on the lawns and sniff in
the shrubberies. The cats lounge on the patios, basking in the sunshine, or
take their ease in the dappled shade of trees. Birds are no longer caged, but
fly free in the trees, eating the plentiful fruit and seeds. None of them
actually feel hungry, but are provided with heavenly food if they wish so that
they can eat without harming the others waiting alongside them. The garden is
full of every kind of animal that has ever been a pet and which has someone
special it wishes to wait for.
There is a special arch in the garden wall, the sort of brick arch which might have held a wrought iron gate in earthly gardens. Sometimes one or more of the animals gets a funny feeling, a bit like butterflies in the tummy. Those animals stop their playing or basking and make their way to the arched gate. Something special is about to happen. When they reach the gate they can see that their special human is walking towards the gate. Then, because the Animals'Eden is a place for animals only, those
animals can walk through the arch to join their human friend(s) and walk
together in the sunshine on the next stage of their souls' journey. For
although the garden is a beautiful and happy place, there is nothing more
joyful than a reunion between dear friends who have been apart too long.
