Right now it just turned 7:00 am here.
The outside dog won’t stop barking (and I can tell when it is a bark for attention—it is) and the inside dog and cat are following me around, almost getting under my feet as I refreshed my coffee.
They know something’s disrupting the routine and they do not like it one bit!
Tough. They have to wait while I wake up. Don’t want to mistakenly feed them rat poison.
We went from 90/80 to 84/79. Not much of a cool off but the fish are in anyway.
Dogs can tell time and other things!
My horses would be at the fence, stamping and pawing, nickering at me like “where in the heck have you been?” I usually had to re-establish some discipline because they were anxious to eat & crowding each other (& me, if I let them). When the time went the other way, they’d be out in the field and I’d have to whistle them in .... heads would go up and I’d get this puzzled look like “wut? you’re here already?”
The cats were a different story. The most rambunctious, Murphy, would get her paws under the bedroom door and shake it (old door that would rattle) - would not stop and I had to get up because it was impossible to sleep. I still made her wait 15-30 minutes so she wasn’t rewarded for bad behavior - she was “talking to me” the whole time. In the evening, it was constant meowing when I got home from work & tagging along at my heels until she was fed. The other cat let Murphy do all the heavy lifting when it came to ‘complaining’. I do miss the cats/horses, but life’s circumstances have changed and once everyone died of old age, they were not replaced. I can’t have animals at the present time.
