Our Pomeranian Mix Nemo can hear high pitch sounds perfectly(Good thing I talk loud) otherwise his hearing isnt so good..but he understands everything, especially food, heck he will come and start barking when its time for his breakfast/lunch/dinner..I think they have clocks in their tummies lol
Daylight savings irritates my dog no end. Supper time is important and not to be messed with.
The food thing is a Pomeranian trait. Mine goes to the kitchen at noon and 5:00 waiting for someone to come and eat. If we go out to diner, he gets pissed and will start eating his food about 7:00 when he realizes we aren’t eating at home. It was my wife who taught him to beg and I still have a hard tie forgiving her for that.
