Our great dog

Time has been such a good alert dog. She is almost perfect at night with alerting us. She comes to our room and puts her paws up on our bed on Tony's side (I give her extra treats for that) and gives him a kiss. Tony takes the first part of the night and I take the early morning shift. It worked well for us when our twins were babies. Time follows us back to Amanda's room where we check her blood sugar and give Time a treat. When I start to see a pattern at night of highs, I can adjust her basal rate of insulin on her pump. We seem to get a few nights of no alerts and then it starts over again. At the age of 11, I think hormones are starting to kick in and her need for more insulin increases.

Tony was napping today and Time passed right by me and went to alert Tony in the bed. So, we are still trying to figure out how to get her to alert us during the day. I'll let you know.
