Darlene,

Amazing story! I had a somewhat similar one. We had my dog for 2 years before my diagnosis and he always slept on the bed. Right before I was diagnosed we kept waking up because our dog would be standing on my husband's chest whining. (He is 20 pounds max.) We'd ask him if he needed to go out and he would just pace towards me and whine to my husband. We started to worry that something was wrong with my husband but he felt silly going to the Doctor because of our dog. Then I was finally referred to a specialist and diagnosed. Once I started treatment, our dog stopped waking us up and he has never done it since. I'll tell you though, if he does it again, I will be in a panic!
