I loved Max's story. I have one, too. I am a diabetic and monitor my blood sugar very well. I have had my disease under control for years. Chewie is my Yorkie who is 14 months old. He likes to lay on the bed when I nap and watch tv. One afternoon I was sleepy and very tired and lay down for a nap. CHewie kept getting in my face and pestering me. He got up on my chest and laid down, which is a load, cause he weighs 15 pounds. He was very persistant, that I not go to sleep. So finally I got up and when I stood, I could tell something was wrong. I tested my sugar and it was too low. I went and ate something and tested again and was fine after about 1 hour. I hate to think of what would have happened if he had let me go to sleep? I might not have woke up. I can't tell you how special he is to me. I know that they have dogs that can tell when someones sugar is low, but I didn't know that I had one! It just goes to show how special dogs like Max and Chewie are ,Keep up the good work guys!! |
