All dogs go to heaven... Right?

My fish died yesterday. It was probably the worst thing that could have happened. Rudi & I had been worried about him because he stopped eating. We did all that we could to try & make him feel more like his old self, but nothing worked. So I went to feed him before class & couldn't find him anywhere. Then I looked at the bottom of the bowl. He was lying at the foot of his shark statue.

After an hour of sobbing/wailing/convulsing in the floor like I was being attacked with the Cruciatus curse, I started to wonder: do pets go to heaven? I mean everyone says that they do, but is it true? Or is it something parents tell their kids so they'll get over the loss of their pets? I can't handle the thought of never seeing Fiesta again. He was one of the few things that got me through my first semester in college. I want to believe that God wouldn't put these animals in our lives and take them away for all eternity. We all have our own room in His mansion in Heaven & I want to think that all our deceased pets will be there to join us.
But what if they're not?
