Pepper is a fantastic dog!
Was watching TV and fell asleep. Pepper woke me up at 7pm. Dizzily followed her happily prancing to the bathroom where blood sugar meter is. Blood sugar was 60. Fell asleep before eating dinner.
When awake I can feel when my sugar is getting low. Problem is you get sleepy and fall asleep sometimes when it starts dropping or are just plain already asleep when it's dropping. The falling asleep thing was not an issue until after that stroke.
What really amazes me is that I have not really worked on training her. You are supposed to collect spit samples when you blood sugar goes low and I really have a hard time letting it get that low. i have been giving her good attention when she wakes me and even more if she wakes me and I feel a bit too groggy. When she woke me and my blood sugar tested low I praised her and gave her her favorite chew bone. She really really likes those Milk Bone dental chews. One the fourth time she led me to the bathroom. And now, the 5th time, she woke me up when I had fallen asleep watching TV instead of in bed and actually pranced happily leading me to the bathroom.
