This is the worst day of the year for my dogs

[Major Nikon]

I have an Aussie and a border collie. We feed them twice per day at the same time and if we forget they will remind us, always about 10 minutes either side of the designated time.

As smart as they are, they still haven’t figured out Central Standard Time vs Central Daylight Time and there’s always an adjustment period.

1. Same here with my cats.

But my black dog rescue is an old guy now and is just happy whatever time he gets fed. Then again, maybe he just smiles to himself as he lets the cats do the dirty work.

2. I thought cats just decided when they were hungry and insist you bend to their schedule

Even if that is 3am or 5 minutes after they were last fed.

3. That, too.

4. My cat awakened me today

at exactly the same time as before the time change this morning by climbing onto my side, then leaping to the dresser. It was done with enough force that it definitely got my attention. I looked at her, sitting innocently on the dresser, with an expression that seemed to say, 'Oh! Is it time for you to get up and give me treats already?'

5. I go through an adjustment period too. Every time...

6. I have semi-regular feeding times

DOg and cat get main meals "soon" after I get up, and "soon" after I get home in the evening. So I guess I'm lucky that they never had an exact time to get used to.

7. interesting.

It makes sense, though.

8. Biscuit-thirty (4:30) is a huge deal for Pearl - The Wonder Dog, my Border collie/heeler mix

It takes her a couple of days to recalibrate her internal clock.
