I Changed My Clocks, The Dogs Didn't Notice

At 7:05 I woke up, checked the clock and smiled to myself and got ready to enjoy an extra hour of sleep before I fed the dogs.

DOGS: Oh Great! You're awake! It's that time!

ME: No. Dogs get fed at 8 a.m. just like always.

DOGS: What are these numbers you speak? We don't do numbers. It's BREAKFAST! It's FOOD! It's TIME!

ME: I'm closing my eyes now.

DOGS: (two of them place front paws on the edge of the bed, leaning in to brush cold noses on arms) BREAKFAST! OHBOY!

ME: I'm going to ignore this.

DOGS: We're AWAKE! We're CUTE! We're HUNGRY!

ME: (pretends deep sleep)

DOGS: We're OUTTAHERE! We'll go SCRATCH AT THE OTHER DOOR! She'll know WHAT TIME IT IS!

ME: (getting up, heading to the kitchen to start coffee and feed them) Dogs don't do daylight saving time. Might be time to move back to Arizona.
