Late last December I lost one of the best friends I will ever know, my family's beloved dog Boomer. We got him as a puppy when I was just 9 years old. Over the years we developed an extremely close bond. When we lost him in December, we were all devastated. A couple months later, while speaking with my mom over the phone, she told me that she had already put a deposit down on a new puppy. This came as a surprise because it was way sooner than we had originally planned. I personally was not completely through my grieving process yet. My mom explained that my youngest brother Declan missed having a dog and that our home seemed empty without Boomer. Also, she had made the decision to get another male of the same breed, a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. With all this happening so fast, a thought occurred to me; Perhaps this was all happening so fast for a very special reason. Perhaps Boomer was coming home. So for the next couple months I meditated on this idea and did my best to "call" Boomer home. I even discussed it with my mom who I rarely share this kind of stuff with. Come April 24th this year, it was time to pick up the puppy, who we decided to name Finnegan, and I was lucky enough to be back home on this date. When I first looked into Finnegan's eyes I could feel Boomer's energy coming through. This did not completely convince me though because, since I was anticipating Boomer's reincarnation, of course it could all just be in my head. Once we got home though, we noticed he likes to nap in the same spot on the kitchen floor as Boomer did. Not only that he seemed to act like Boomer, with few exceptions. The biggest kicker of them all though, was that when the vet came for a check up, he noted that Finnegan's left knee had some weak ligament tissue, not from an injury or anything, but his genetics. This was confirmation for me because, when Boomer was a puppy, he tore a ligament in the very same knee and had bad arthritis in it for his entire life. Finnegan even sits the same way Boomer used to with his left leg kicked out to the side to relieve the pressure on it. It makes me tear up just thinking about how profound and real this is.
Has anyone else on here experienced anything similar to this with their pets?
