Pauley Perrette knew something was wrong. Her elderly dog Little Joe was lethargic, his skin was cold and his gums were white. It turns out they were signs of something very serious: internal bleeding.

The elderly Chihuahua mix, who is "about 237 years old," Perrette told PEOPLE last year, is now recovering from emergency surgery and the actress considers herself lucky that she recognized the warning signs.

Pauley Perrette may play a woman who knows a lot about death, but the NCIS actress actually knows a lot more about life and how to help her pets live longer.

Perrette, best known for her role as forensic specialist Abby Sciuto on the hit CBS show, has shared her home for 10 years with two senior rescue dogs: Cece, a brain-damaged rat terrier-Chihuahua mix, and Little Joe, a mix of corgi, dachshund and Chihuahua who's "probably about 237 years old."

"I'll tell you the secret: It's because I talk to them all the time," Perrette told PEOPLE at this month's American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards presented by Cesar Canine Cuisine. "I really think it's talking to them all the time and giving them that kind of love. They want to stay."
