my idea of heaven too.

I got this in my email and this was just too beautiful not to share as I think this defines heaven beautifully. A man is walking along a road with his faithful companion, after some time he realises the dog he is walking with has been dead for many years and thus he too must be dead. After some time both he and the dog are getting tired and thirsty, and gradually arrive at some pearly gates, a golden building in the background. A man welcomes the traveler to the gates. Upon approaching the man the traveler asks for a glass of water, the man replies of course, we have cold iced water inside, please enter. The traveler inquires as to some water for his friend, but the man shakes his head and explains there are no pets allowed. The traveler looks at his companion and declines the mans offer, he and the dog keep walking. Some time later, they approach a farm, long grass growing in the meadows, fences in need of repair and a gate that looks as if it has never been shut. As the man and his companion approach they see an old man waiting at the gate for them. The man again asks for a drink, the old man says there is a hand pump and cup, help yourself. The traveler inquires for his companion, the man smiles and says there is a bowl next to the hand pump for your dog. As the traveler pumps water for himself and the dog he asks the old man about the place back down the road. The old man smiles and says thats hell. The traveler stares at him and says but the pearly gates? the golden building? the man waiting at the gates? Thats false advertising! Doesn't it bother you?" To which the old man smiled and said "No, they do all our screening for us, we wouldn't want to let someone in over here who would leave their best friend behind at the gates". That's my idea of heaven :)
