He takes his job as Dog Diag-“nose”-er to heart. Jane’s learned to pay attention to his common-dog-“scents” because it saved her life. He was named aft er an emperor and apparently is a doggy doctor or was a doctor in a previous life. Th eir bedtime ritual starts when Jane snuggles into bed, then Caesar jumps up and rests on her stomach — all 17 pounds of him — for soothing pats while Jane reads. In the morning, while she does yoga pelvic lift s, Caesar jumps aboard her body for the fun ride up and down. Th en everything changed. “One night he refused to get up on my stomach,” said Jane. “He lay beside me, but when I lift ed him up on my belly, he wouldn’t look at me or stay unless I held his collar. It was ob- vious, he did not want to be there,” said Jane. “I remembered a friend of mine whose cat loved sleeping on her chest and when the cat stopped doing it, she scheduled a mammogram and, guess what? Cancer.” Jane said she knew she’d better go see a GI doctor because Caesar sensed something was wrong. Although Jane admitted she was stymied on what to say while still appearing sane. What would a doctor think if she said, My dog thinks there's something wrong with my gut!? “Two weeks later at 3 a.m., I awoke to excruciating pain. Th e emergency room tests indicated that I had an E.Coli infection and a bowel obstruction,” said Jane, who spent three days in the hospital; her diagnostic dog was right. Animals paws-ess intuitive abilities, said Jane. A Harvard study purr-oved that canines can identify, in advance, both sei- zures and diabetics/hypoglycemia episodes. For example, some dogs can detect breast cancer from the breath of a person. “Th ere’s an intimacy in smelling a person’s breath,” said Jane. “Of course, pets are healing presences in our lives too.” LORANE NEWS • Come join the fun at the Hanging of the Greens at Lo- rane Christian Church on NOTICE OF CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE PLANNING COMMISSION VACANCIES 6 -day weather forecast THURSDAY FRIDAY 47° | 40° 47° | 39° Rain Rain SATURDAY SUNDAY 44° | 37° 44° | 32° Rain Rain MONDAY TUESDAY 44° | 30° 46° | 32° The City of Cottage Grove Planning Commission has two vacancies to this volunteer body.

I open the door, say to Bo, ‘Caesar wants you in here.’ Th en Bo comes trotting inside. It beats a bark when you don’t have a doggy door.” Send us your pet's story or contact Angelscribe@msn.com Remember the purr-evious article “Terrier Versus Train?” Here is a fun update: “My friends loved my dog, Simon’s, article,” wrote Terry. “It was posted at work on the bulletin board, and many people commented that they had seen me and Simon in the paper. Th e Community Center’s yoga class was dedicated to Simon, and we did the downward facing dog pose in his, and other par- ticipants dogs,’ honor. It was fun to be a celebrity around town for the week. Luckily the attention did not go to Simon's head! Th ank you so much, Terry and Simon.” NOTE: Want a purebred pet?
