Resolved Question

How do you explain to your pets the time change?

My dogs were up at 4 am this morning, ready to go, and my cat is knocking everything off my desk begging for dinner an hour early.

When you find out, let me know.

I have two watch dogs, wrist watch dogs. Feeding, walking, play times are all off and in the wrong direction. lol.

Strangely this is the worst its been since we have had them.
Even the cat is more vocal about it.

seriously, let me know.

college101	Posted Nov 2nd, 2009 at 5:23PM I sit them down and say we need to talk. Then I begin by showing them one of those huge preschool clocks. Now they can tell the time on their own and often need to remind me to set my clock forward or backward. Rated: +1Vote for this!

midlifemadness	Posted Nov 2nd, 2009 at 5:04PM you gotta try and keep them active a bit later into the night.. so they don't sleep a long time before you all go to bed. Just like a kid... go for a walk tonight.. a bit later than normal and give them some exercise. The cat is a bit harder... you may have to lock the cat out of your room at night if they are too active. Unless you can walk your cat! That would be pretty neat if you could! Hope that helps!

CrystalClear1	Posted Nov 2nd, 2009 at 5:54PM That's not good. I am sorry to hear this. I think they will adjust with the light of the day. It could be the full moon in Taurus as well. They don't call it lunancy for nothing~! LOL, My cat was bizarre last night as he always is on a full moon. Rated: +1Vote for this!
