I love the detail of the frase “Walk Time” as the Dog eyelashes, pretty clever and funny.
It’s so weird when people say dogs don’t know time.
My dog gets a Dentistix at 6am and 3pm, and that motherfucker knows when it’s time.
If he ever gets one a little earlier than normal, I have to deal with weeks of him insisting the time change was permanent and he doesn’t have to wait. But if I stick to the schedule, so does he.
The crazy part is how fast he adapts to daylight savings time.
My beagle gets excited for hers early if I happen to be home, I suspect my wife gives them to our dogs much earlier than I typically do, because she is very consistent with when she starts begging.
My dad has this issue. I’ve asked him: why not set an alarm so the dogs know that when it goes off it’s time?
My cat, too. I feed him every day at 5:45 and that little butthole knows when 4:45 rolls around and it’s time to start bugging me.
Some dogs might know what time it is, but cats are practically chronometers.
They tend to have extremely precise routines, especially as they get older, and you’d better not break them (unless it’s to their benefit, in which case the change will be permanently incorporated into the routine) or things are gonna get loud.
My doodles know 8 am is when they get their morning potty and food then it’s back to bed until 9 (assuming I don’t have work)
One of them is very smart but they both have an excellent sense of time. Way better than me, tbf tho my sense of time is horrible so that’s a low baseline
I read somewhere that dogs tell time by smell. They know what the house smells like at 2 pm, 3 pm, and 4 pm etc. So by linking a certain smell with a certain pattern ie. their master coming home…there you have it.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to walk my dog at 4:00 pm in the summer. Sorry pup, gotta wait till twilight so your paws don’t melt on the pavement.
Adorable.
