madrobinsWho would be Emily?
Since the time changeover, the poor animal has her clock badly out of whack. This is complicated by the fact that the Spouse gets up way too early most mornings, and she gets her first walk and breakfast by 7am (some mornings by 6), so that by the time she gets back from her Epic Drag, somewhere between noon and three, she is convinced that The Dog Is Starving as No Dog Has Ever Starved.
It is 2:49 and she is marching around the house whimpering quietly and adopting an expression of martyred patience. The patience thing? Totally bogus. She will not be fed until 3 at the earliest, and that's only because it's annoying to have her marching around the house whimpering quietly and stopping now and then to paw, forlornly, at her bowl. 3:30 would be better, and 5pm is the Official mealtime of Good Dogs. We'll see how long she, and I, can hold out.
By the time daylight savings' time rolls around again she'll be set in the old ways and completely confused when we want her to get up an hour early. Of course, the earlier the feeding, the happier the dog.
