Karen, as Boomer is getting ready to celebrate his one year birthday, I wanted to take a minute and say a huge THANK YOU! When I first contacted you, I had told you that I lost my dog (Bouncer- a SheltieJack mix) of 9 years and am hearing impaired and have trouble sleeping at night. We talked about what great alert dogs Aussies are, and Boomer has done a great job in this area for me. As he matures I see him fine tuning his skills more and more in my direction!

What I did not share with you was that 6 years earlier, I had lost both my children in a car accident. I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I can not put into words how much Boomer has helped me; he has an ability to sense my emotional levels and offer comfort on a level that has allowed me to heal. I shake at times ... no rhyme or reason. Boomer hugs and knows when to do it! Oh, he also grins! My shaking episodes are much less frequent than in prior years and I have to give full credit to Boomer ... I look forward to working with you on the addition of a second Aussie when the time is right and will keep you updated on our training (I hope to work with Boomer as a therapy dog with children, handicapped adults and or nursing home visits). We will start a little more serious training after he turns 1 year. I want him to enjoy just being a puppy and having lots of fun ... he is a great car dog, loves the beach and loves people! Karen, God Bless you for the work you do with you Aussies! Take care ... air hugs and love from Jacksonville, Florida.

xoxoxo Marcy and Boomer :)
