Continuous prayers being sent up for Boomer's safety and guidance home.
Lord, I am praying for another one of your miracles and I am thanking you in advance.

Boomer is home!!!
Just checked the Facebook page for Sheltie Rescue of Utah, and Boomer is finally back home with his family.
Here's the post for those of you that don't use Facebook:
Boomer took off from his vet's office 17 1/2 days ago and is now, thank goodness, back home! Boomer has a past! He was once lost from a former owner's home in Idaho for 5 months. He was missing yet another time for about a month. Boomer's forever owners, Dana and Justin, did such an incredible job getting the word out that many sightings were reported. There were several days in a row with no reported sightings but at the end, when we knew he was on upper Eagle Ridge Drive in North Salt Lake, there were sometimes so many phone calls that Justin and Dana could barely keep up with them. That's the best. The silence --- no phone calls reporting sightings --- is very hard to deal with. Boomer was seen entering the trap set out for him and eating the food in it on Wednesday night. Silly boy ate, grabbed a toy of his that was in the trap, but didn't trigger the trap door to close. (He was able to reach far enough into the back of the trap to eat the food there.) Someone in a neighboring home witnessed him inside the 5 to 6 foot long trap and then exiting it. He trotted along with his toy and then dropped it. Dana and Justin were out, in the dark, trying to spot him. Dana saw him but he was running away. She recovered his toy which he had dropped along the way. There's was nothing to do but reset the trap and bait it with Kentucky Fried Chicken and Costco Polish Sausage, who could resist that? (Actually Dana and Justin because they don't eat meat.) Justin added a small board to the trigger pedal to make it more likely that when Boomer returned for more food, the trap door and his toy, the door would close. He was found in the trap early this morning.
This photo shows Boomer on the right with his Sheltie brother, Shaun on the left. Boomer is asking Shaun to please let him have his toy back! Welcome home Boomer!
