DST the battle is real

[SheepOfBlue]

So DST has happened and the normal 4:30 protest that it is not supper time (5PM) is now occurring earlier. I compromised and they ate at 4:30 today. I expect this battle to go all week. Oh and Ian goes out has shifted but he is less demanding since I retired and will let me sleep in at times. Of course I can let him out and Spitfire might join him but is more likely to join me and go lay back down.

Mine threw a fit yesterday especially Juno, when supper was 35 minutes "late". I made them all go in the backyard and they just ran around and barked demandingly for quite a while.

I do find that mine are pestering me more in the morning for their breakfast…we got an extra hour, all they got was more time waiting for their meals!

I got the FEED ME stare an hour earlier yesterday. I expect that to last till the end of the week.

Lucky you on the stare. Spitfire will walk up look at you and bark. And repeat until told to stop or be fed. He is VERY stubborn. Ian is a bowl rattler but he does it all day. Lick and jingle.....then sadness as it is empty

I try hard every year to prep the pups for the time change the week before by adjusting what time we do things. It works pretty well with when they get up in the morning but not so much with meals. They start with the WE WANT FOOD protests on old time. I usually hold out for maybe 30 minutes until I can't stand it. They win again!

Yup mine as well I think they must use the sun as their clocks and boy does it throw them off when we in the afternoon it is dark an hour or more before supper. I am thinking of buying mine watches-- maybe fitness watch so they can tell the CORRECT TIME.

Teddy was easier in the AM since everything runs by the alarm clock but in the afternoon it was a barkfest.

And I guess I missed it, Congratulations on the retirement. Don't let anyone kid you, it's hard work scheduling those naps at the proper times

Sorry but it makes me feel better that it's not just me and Monty going through this . It's like they have little clocks and know exactly when feeding time is, to the second!!

The past few days when we’ve gone downstairs in the morning I’ve gotten he** from Piper! Barking at me, trying to bite my ankles (a useless attempt that only makes me laugh) and I think it’s all because he’s mad that I’m feeding them an hour later. He’s even been trying to go after my feet…yesterday morning I had to go onto the steps (from the sidewalk) when we were outside to stop him from attempting to grab my foot! Gotta be the time change…he’s never this bad
