Jack, Australian Shepherd (13 y/o), Hudson & Jane St., New York, NY • “He’s got decent days, and he’s got days or weeks in which he’s pretty aloof. He’s diabetic, hence the blood sugar monitor here. I give him insulin like you would a human. I read where his blood sugar is before I feed him, and if it’s high, I give him a full dose, and if it’s moderate, I give him a half dose. His monitor is intended for humans; it just works for dogs. He eats kibble with some wet food on top of it.”
