I am so excited for you, and I hope your program goes full steam ahead and passes with flying colors.
Yorkies are great for being able to sense things that we humans cannot.
I suffer from focal seizures and most of the time I can feel them coming on. On rare occasions, I will have one instantly with no warning signs. Or should I say, I had no warning signs before.
My Emma can sense when I am getting ready to have one. She comes to where I am, and if I am sitting down, she climbs in my lap, gets right in my face, starts sniffing, licks it, and then starts whining. This is very odd behavior for her. If I am standing she circles me and begins to whine. When she does this, Wayne knows to get me in a safe position right before I start to seize, or if I am alone I know to get somewhere safe.
She is my baby girl, and I thank god he sent her to me. It is very satisfying to know that others will be able to benefit from these amazing creatures. Good luck!
