When we finally made it home, it was time for bed, bedtime snack, Jonny’s cornstarch, and to warm Dallin’s bottle. We put Luke in his crate, Mark and Ethan had started eating, and Luke freaked out. We decided to see what was wrong with him, so we opened the crate. Normally, Luke just sits there and waits for us to attach his leash. This time he bolted downstairs just like the first time he detected a low blood sugar. So, we tested Jonny first since it was time for his cornstarch anyway. He was fine. Then we moved on to Dallin- he needed to eat, but he was still in the upper 70’s. Then we tried Ethan, he was good. A little disheartened, we weren’t going to test Mark. After all, he’d been eating. We decided to anyway, just for good measure. Bingo! he was at 74 and since he’d been eating for a good 10 minutes, he must have been lower than that. Score 3 for Luke (he’s done this twice before).

After reading this entry, being single and planning to live alone in the next year. I can see one of these service dogs being a Companion which is also a back up to my managed health routine.
