With this in mind, what should we expect from a Father God who is the very definition of love?
Will he not lavish his children with every good thing?
What do we suppose would be included in "restore everything"?
Relationships?

Acts 3:21 NIV
Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything,
as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

Hey, how come these idyllic paintings of Isaiah 11:6-9 never show the kid sticking his hand in the cobra's den?

There are horses in Heaven... Jesus is coming back riding one.

That being true, there's no reason to believe the Lord does not have other type of animals there as well.

Con graduations on worrying about something that is meaningless and a non-issue

The Lord is going to be there... after that, I don't care who or what else is there.... not when getting to see the Lord!

People have souls, animals have essences.

If God can use the blood of something with an essence, to remind someone with a soul of their eternal destiny, in what sense is that essence not Heavenly?

The English word animal comes from the Latin word anima, which is also the word translated as soul in the Vulgate (Latin Bible). So...

Animals ARE souls, by definition of the word.

People have something more, usually we call it a spirit.

People have to make it in to Heaven !

Now in the Bible their is a List of all who can not enter into the Kingdom of God in fact !

Now the issue is with Man ? because Man is under a curse ? and we all know why they were kicked out of the Garden !

Now as to you cat Dog Horse etc, they do not make the grade !

I think that only some people make the Grade ! most do not and they go to Pugatory and the rest go to Hell !

Most people are not Saints !
Most people are ok ? do not deserve Hell.
Some people are like Jesus said, about the millstone ! for they do deserve Hell. because they were happy to go out and created hell for others.

About one who does wanting wrong to another, One must pay back every thing to the very last.
Would Jesus do wrong to anyone ? so why would one want to do wrong to anyone ? Malice is a grave Sin !

People who boast that they are going to Heaven are full of themselves !

One whoes Hope is that they will go to Heaven is fine to say ! and to give hope to others of Faith.

It's Christ Jesus who says who will go !

One who is not Blessed is not going, because they have not Grace ! for if one is driven by Malice such a one is of Satan in fact !

What are the Saints in Heaven doing now ? I think they are helping people who are seeking now ? How great and rewarding is that !
Or is Heaven a place for slobs who get what they want 24/7 a place for gluttons eating Donuts and drunks etc etc.

Would one not want to be closer to Christ Jesus ?

I am not seeking out my cat that was the best, I had that time with him, I miss that Cat at times and one Dog was the best dog as well. but I thank God for the time I had with them.

I give thanks for a mate who died of late, back in the good days of him before he got into drugs and became a great idiotic moronic jerk ! and he had one other mate who came to say goodby to him at the funeral, but he never went to see him in the last 25 years, nor would want him at his place at all, Forbidden ! you can not have someone like that around your wife or Children.
but for old times sake ? he knew him from grade 1 and was his best friend for years.
But hey people smashed out high on Drugs and drink like a fish are very very hard to put up with.

There is no purgatory.

Our pets are of and from God. Just like everything that exists. Which means they return to the God who gave us them.

Why do people in their minds limit God to that container?
