He showed up from the shelter. “I found your dog” hmm. I didn’t know I was looking for dog. “well its a dog and a half” Boo was the half a dog. It was a Mother and Puppy…when asked for a name I thought…how bout Shempa. the Buddhist term for attachment. And he was attached…he hardly left my side for 15 years. He followed me everywhere, up and down and all around. He climbed mountains and took adventure box rides and slept in the desert, mountains and next to rivers and through rocky mountain thunderstorms in the high mountains in a tent. He loved life and he loved me and taught me how to love unconditionally. He was sent here to help heal this healer and he was a master. He knew nothing but love and had nothing but trust in the universe…and taught me a little of how to do that. God Bless you my sweet friend. Green grass, high mountains to climb and slow squirrels to chase.
