YT 1000 Club Member | Tears are coming down because I'm so thankful... As I'm sitting here typing this message I'm crying because I'm so THANKFUL I have Rasta in my life. I am 25 years old and ever since I can remember I've been an insulin dependant diabetic(type 1). Today my sugar became dangerously low. With all the committees for my son's school, taking care of my family,etc. Basically putting everyone and their well being before mine had become second nature. I'm a nurse taking care of people is what I do . I admit I have not been the best with my eating habits...a bite here, a drink of juice there then back to whatever I thought was so important but really could have waited. My sugar became so low I couldn't walk straight I could not see(ever see a tv with really bad reception with the flurries/snow/static? THAT was my vision). My neighbor had to bring me home when she saw me fall and I'm thankful for her help when some ppl would have left me where I was. When some diabetics blood sugar level gets low some of our actions appear "drunken" and most ppl dont want to deal with that. This happened at 1 p.m. Rasta has not left me since I was brought home. Even when I had to use the bathroom . This 5 month old 2 pound yorkie that I've only had for a little over 2 months has been sitting next to me while I got my bsl back on track, ate something, and even after that is watching me like he's supposed to be my caretaker and not the other way around. I used to be one of those ppl that said a person could never have a friendship with an animal like they could a human. Mutual respect either. Today I have been proven wrong. I just wanted to share my story . Ladies please dont take your health for granted. Don't let negative feelings/comments bring you down. Don't hold a grudge pray for the person and let it go. And hug your furbabies like you've never hugged them before! Everyday is a blessing |

| I'm so sorry you had to go through that today. Thank God your neighbor saw you fall and was there to help. Rasta sounds like a little angel. You guys are blessed to have each other. And yes, it's so easy to take things for granted. Every day is truly a blessing!

| Despite what it could have cost you, this is a very sweet story. Imagine a little 5 month old puppy taking care of her mommie but I for one know that is exactly what they do, just the minute they are old enough to know much of anything. Somehow they sense when things aren't right with us and to most of them, it immediately becomes their job in life to stay right with us and get us through the bad times. I tip my hat to little Rasta for knowing his purpose in life and taking it to heart despite his tender months. And you take good care of yourself from this moment on, okay? Your family and friends and little Rasta need you as much as you need them.

| That was scary. Definitely a wake up call to take better care of yourself, and your gratitude is a wonderful reminder to all of us to not take anything for granted. Hugs to you and your pupster. Glad you have loyal little buddy there.

| Beautiful story, yes each and every moment of our lives are precious...and so is your little Rasta puppy. My husband is also a type I diabetic. Winston has alerted me to "daddy not feeling well" long before he knows he's not feeling well. How? I don't know, but Winston just knows. Don't be surprised if your little guy does the same...I believe it is instinct. He has "saved" hubby and we are both so grateful and thank God every day for the blessing of him being ours.

| Max wakes me up When My Blood Sugars are low I am also a Type 1 Diabetic...My little rescue Max recognizes lows at night. If I below a Blood Glucose level of 50 he will NOT lay down and paws at me until I get up. At first I did not know that's what he was doing, and would beg him to lay down. He was persistent. Now when he wakes up and will NOT lay back down I get up and check. I never trained him to do this and who knows what his life was like before, but he is a great companion to me!
