The Internal Clock
Thursday, 5. November 2009
I believe we’ve successfully navigated through another Daylight Savings Time change. Strangely, the pugs cannot tell time, but they always know what time it is. Yes, I’ve trained them on a schedule, but sometimes I would like to tweak that schedule–just a little.
Saturday mornings I would prefer to sleep a little later than to be outside at 7 a.m. half asleep in my bathrobe waiting for Shade to finish. (What was the hurry after all?)
They are just as intuitive in the afternoon. Eyes pop open, legs stretch, snorts and yawns follow as they bring themselves back to the land of the living. I don’t even have to look at the clock. I know it is 2:45 p.m. Time to take a walk, take care of business and eat. The most beloved and anticipated time of day…dinner time. Perhaps it’s not an internal clock after all, but an internal dinner bell.
