7 Weeks

We have had Time home for 7 weeks. This week we have really been concerned that she is not alerting us like she should. We are waiting on a call back from CARES to help answer some questions. She only alerts us sporatically. And, sometimes, we think it is an alert and Amanda will be fine. Asta, our 10 yr old part pomeranian, sleeps with Tony and I and growls every time she hears Time during the night. That is definiately part of the problem. Time must know we are talking about her because last night Amanda and I were playing Pictionary in the floor and she started licking me all over. I checked Amanda and her blood sugar was 316. So I praised her and gave her a treat. During the night, Tony had fallen asleep on the couch and Time came in the den and started licking Tony. Tony asked if Amanda was OK and Time went back to Amanda's room and laid down. Her blood sugar was 370. So, he praise her and gave her a treat and she went back to bed. This morning she came out of Amanda's room and didn't seem anxious or wanting to lick anyone, so I checked on Amanda and her blood sugar was very good, 130. We may put Asta in bed with one of the other kids and see if that will allow Time the freedom to come in our room at night.
