| Psychic and/or Attentive Yorkies I was just answered a PM from another YT member about Adie being a medical alert dog and wondered how many of us have these wonderful psychic yorkies or yorkies that are attentive to our conditions. Adie started alerting me to low blood sugars on her own which started the path to her becoming my official personal body guard. But it goes so much deeper with her! According to my dh, she goes over to the garage door many minutes before I arrive home from work which alerts the other dogs to my imminent arrival. By the time my car pulls into the driveway all four of them are lined up waiting for me to get there. This also happens no matter where I go or how long I have been gone. The last time I went to Florida without Adie she was at the door just minutes before the limo brought me home so it isn't the sound of my car! I can predict when I am going to wake up with a migraine too. Adie is restless the whole night before and will sleep on my pillow wrapped around my head instead of in front of me with my arm wrapped around her. (I now take my medication to ward it off instead of taking it after the pain starts.) She won't leave my side if I am sick (which is often annoying when I am trying to sleep or turn over!). I was having a really hard time with one of my medications - it would cause me to spend hours in the bathroom vomiting (and other things.) Adie would be right there with me on the cold bathroom floor. Never taking her eyes off me. I am actually tearing up right now as I think about the is wonderful little girl. Yes she has attitude and can be a real prima donna but I wouldn't trade her for the world! What about your special one(s)? Oh, and by the way, Skeeter (Adie's younger brother) has started licking my bare skin every chance he gets. Dh jokes that he is tasting me but Adie used to do that too! Makes me wonder if he is starting to sense things too. He is, after all, a true mama's boy! |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | My Yogi knows when I have a migraine, & even kisses my head where it hurts. I have seen a documentary on the phenomenon of dogs knowing their owners are coming home, even if it's not in the same car or at the same time. They filmed the dog at home at the same time filming the owner at work. The dog was happily napping, the owner working...the very second the owner started grabbing her purse, keys, etc. & started turning off the office lights...40 mins away, the dog woke up at home. The closer she got to home, the more the dog paced, showed excitement, etc. I think it's incredible, & who knows the abilities our dogs actually have. They say we read too much into our dogs intelligence, I say we don't give them enough credit:P Also, it is proven that dogs can smell cancer cells, & dogs are starting to be used to detect cancer in patients long before doctor's are able to. Really amazing!

| Wow that is great that Adie is so attentive and knows you so well. The one thing my Jewels did that was kind of amazing was alerted us of a tornado warning with a tornado sighted and reported to be heading right towards us. She just was very restless and nervousy during a thunderstorm and it wasnt long after that the tornado sirens went off.

Your post reminded me..... We had a tornado hit within a few miles of our house last season. The tornado siren (fire department) is right in back of our house so it sounded like it was going off right in our living room! ALL FOUR of my dogs looked up them went right back to sleep. - So much for Adie being a weather dog! LOL. | |

| Jewels really isnt a weather dog either but she was just acting peculuar that evening. They say animals can sense things like that before we do. I was watching the news and I quess a cat alerted its owners there was a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide in their house. I just things like that are amazing
