Check out Hank Hanegraaff's Resurrection, chapter 13. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Personally, There are so many mentions of animals in Scripture, that I think it's quite reasonable to expect to see them in the new Heavens and the New Earth. After all, the lions will lie down with the lambs at some time, likely both in the Thousand Year Reign and the New Heavens and Earth.
I believe this or why would the Bible speak of it.
Our Father created animals to be our companions and even let Adam name them. Our Father doesn't take away anything in the next life that he gave us in this life.
So sorry for the loss of Fiona u/Nitrojunkie7 you will be reunited again someday and sorrow will turn to joy.
