Continued from page one...

By some miracle, Crystal's frail little pup had survived through the night. When I visited him the next day, he was wrapped in a blue blanket, and lying on a heating pad. As a premature neo-natal Boston Terrier, he was only slightly larger than a quarter pound stick of butter. His eyes were sealed shut, but his little black and white head looked so beautiful to me. After scrubbing up with disinfectant soap, I reached out my hand to gently pet him, and he seemed to respond to my touch by snuggling against the pressure of my fingers. Was it wishful thinking, or just my imagination? I'll never know for sure, but it didn't matter, for I was hooked.

I felt such a strong bond of love for this helpless little creature, it was inexplicable in terms of logic. Then, I bent over to kiss him, and the first thing I noticed was an unusual marking on the top of his pure white blaze. It was a black outline in the shape of a boomerang. "Boomerang", I muttered softly to myself, "that will be your name, if you pull through for me." Right then and there, he stole my heart, and I promised to give him the best life I possibly could, if he would only live. It may sound strange, but I felt so much love radiating from that precious little bundle of fur, who I had just named Boomerang, his presence seemed to fill the entire room. I didn't know it then, but my life was about to change, never to be the same again.

Boomerang touched a part of me that had been dormant deep within my soul. He taught me how to "see with my heart, what was invisible to my eyes." Boomerang's presence in my life was bittersweet, but I wouldn't trade a moment of it. There was joy alternating with heartache. It was sweet sadness. He touched my soul so deeply, he altered my perceptions of the world. And, he helped clarify what was important in life, and what was of small significance. My priorities shifted permanently. No longer was I focused on material pursuits and acquisitions. My consciousness was elevated to a higher, more spiritual level, and I was now in tune with vibrational frequencies I never knew existed.

Sharing life with my beloved Boomerang was a remarkable experience, because he was truly an exceptionally remarkable Boston Terrier. The seeds were planted on that fateful July day, when Boomerang was born. The lovely blossoms would bloom several years later, when he inspired me to write a series of books about his life and his reason for being.

Eventually, the books were compiled into one larger volume. His mission on Earth, and the wisdom of his messages pertaining to love and kindness are revealed in my new book, entitled BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY.
