Pet tips
‘N’ tales
By Mary Ellen
“Angel Scribe”
Dog Diag-‘nose’-ers
J
ane’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Caesar, always looks
serious and he has every reason to. 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.”

Jane and her King Charkes Spaniel, Caesar
And how was Jane’s bedtime ritual aft er her return home?
“When I lay down, Caesar immediately crawled up onto me,
licked my face and sighed as I stroked his soft red and white fur.
‘Next time,’ I told Dr. Dog, ‘I’ll listen to you.’”
TIPS:
“We trained Caesar and our new dog, Bo, to ring a bell hang-
ing on the door knob to go outside,” said Jane. “Caesar knows
that if he’s inside and Bo is outside, and he wants Bo inside, he
rings the bell. 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.”

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.”
