Thank you Donna for your response ~ What a difference sleeping more than 1 to 3 hours a night makes. I feel soo much better !! Mood is better too today.

Have been reading thru the Medicare Handbook to get a greater understanding about some things. And yet, when I call Medicare for clarification I get confusing responses.

Interesting point to share about my cat. When I am struggling with mood and can't sleep, it affects my cat too. When I am restless and agitated, so is he. He does have a grumpy expression with his face at these times. When my mood is better, he has what I call "happy eyes", lol, but it's true. This morning, he actually sat beside me on the floor and purred and looked at me with happy eyes. He's now my mood monitor too, lol.

Have you found this with your dogs, that they can sense changes in mood?
