MY QUESTION ABOUT HEAVEN: I’M BURNT OUT FROM THIS LIFE SO WILL I HAVE LOTS OF DOWNTIME??

Sounds pretty boring.
I’m over 70. I don’t question what I’ve learned in life and I don’t question God.

Boring? Not if you like the idea of playing checkers forever.
I’m kidding, nobody knows what it’ll be like.

Will dogs be allowed into Heaven along with their people? Nope, none of us knows what it will be like, but it will be far better than anything that we can expect. I’m looking forward to being surprised at how good it will be.

Actually the Bible does have info about Heaven and what it’s like. I’m with Geoff the Aardvark — I’m also looking forward to having my heart and mind overwhelmed with its awesomeness. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the no sinning part. Just goes to show how inured we are to it. I think a lot of people — Christians, even — think this is why it would be boring. We’re so used to grappling with the problems created by sin; our own and others. I’m also looking forward to having a singing voice. I currently can’t carry a tune in a basket.

Try using a bucket, not a basket. I’m told that works well.
Dogs/pets go to heaven if you are a christian. They are under your covering. So do your kids before the age of accountability. Some think until 12. Not sure where that line is. People that have died and came back to this realm have testimonies of seeing their pets and families that have passed on, some with no way of knowing who they were until they got there and then back and then showing a younger picture of them. No more pain or sorrow and everyone is young. Also it’s light with zero shadows.
Only joy.

No one ‘goes to heaven’, the Kingdom comes HERE at the 8th day, after Messiah Yahshua’s Millennial Reign.
Matthew 27:44
Mark 15:32
Luke 23:33–43
Specific to the ‘malefactor’, Matt and Mark both only state that they both ‘reviling him’ (other various translations). Luke is the ‘meat’ of the details, where the one continues to ‘berate’ Him (Lk 23:39), yet the other ‘rebukes’ the speaker from verse 39, in admitting (confessing) his sin, having a contrite heart and admits that his own punishment is justified. He also confesses that Yahshua is The Son of YHWH. Even though he is suffering, he is fulfilling the two greatest commandments of Love (as defined by YHWH) from Deut 6:5 and Lev 19:18, love YHWH and your fellow man (neighbor).
reviled:
G3679 ὀνειδέζω oneidezō on-i-did’-zo
From G3681; to defame that is rail at chide taunt: – cast in teeth (suffer) reproach revile upbraid.
G3681 ὄνειδος oneidos on’-i-dos
Probably akin to the base of G3686; notoriety that is a taunt (disgrace): – reproach.
G3686 ὄνομα onoma on’-om-ah
From a presumed derivative of the base of G1097 (compare G3685); a “name” (literally or figuratively) (authority character): – called (+ sur-) name (-d).
As for the ‘I say unto thee, today…’ or ‘I say unto thee today, ….’ from verse 43:
paraphrase: I am telling you today that you will be with me in paradise (garden of Eden). The end from the beginning.
Yahshua was buried for 3 days and nights and would not ascend into Heaven until First Fruits, so, the thief could not be in “heaven” that day. It is my understanding that no one has gone (or will go) to ‘Heaven’ as of yet, and that YHWH gives just rewards on the same day, but, it is His Day, the 7th day or Millennial reign. The same 1000 year ‘day’ at the beginning will be the First Fruits Resurrection and just before the end of that ‘day’ the second resurrection to judgment (life or death).
The Kingdom (Yahshuah’s reign) comes to the Earth. The thief is speaking of the ressurrection that is to occur when Yahshuah returns! The harvest of which He, Messiah Yahshua, is the First Fruits. This is YHWH once again showing that His Word is eternal and true, for we shall be as He is at Yahshua’s return!!
paradise:
G3857 παράδεισος paradeisos par-ad’-i-sos
Of Oriental origin (compare [H6508]); a park that is (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness “paradise”): – paradise.
comest:
G2064 erchomai er’-khom-ahee
Middle voice of a primary verb (used only in the present and imperfect tenses the others being supplied by a kindred [middle voice] word eleuthomai or elthÅ; which do not otherwise occur); to come or go (in a great variety of applications literally and figuratively): – accompany appear bring come enter fall out go grow × light × next pass resort be set.
kingdom:
G932 βασιλεία basileia bas-il-i’-ah
From G935; properly royalty that is (abstractly) rule or (concretely) a realm (literally or figuratively): – kingdom reign.

The answer is yes. Pope Francis Said so,Soon after he became Pope. Also I think it was Pope Leo The sixth that made the declaration .
