Max keeps Gracie safe at the pool

The girls grandparents stopped in town today to visit and invited the girls to come swimming at their hotel. Now, anyone how knows my girls, knows they jumped on that:). I realized this would also be a great training time for Max too, since he will be spending a lot of time poolside this summer. I thought it best to check Gracie's BG before I let her jump in; I asked Max if we needed to check and he just looked at me (his way of saying "no"). He was dead on - a perfect 137. Fifteen minutes later he alerts so we check; she's down to 99. Good check Max. Then about 20 minutes later he sits straight up, looks at Gracie in the pool and let's out a single bark. I look over at Gracie and call her in to test. She suddenly gets a funny look on her face as she's heading for the steps to get out of the water and says "Mommy, I feel low". We test. 49! Max helped us avert a potentially very dangerous situation. Had he not alerted us, Gracie would've probably kept swimming and not have stopped long enough to realize she didn't feel right. I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for this adorable, furry little guardian angel who spends his life looking out for my Gracie and keeping her safe.
