Uh Oh....Forgot To Have " The Talk" With My Dog!
Reminders have been everywhere for days, making sure we all were aware that today is when we do the seasonal "fall back" an hour. And I have to say I do love being able to get up to hints of dawn breaking instead of pitch black nighttime (of course, I'm not quite as much a fan of how early it'll get dark now in the evening).
But all in all, I went to bed thinking it'd be great to sleep in a little bit extra this morning. EXCEPT, I clearly forgot to have "the talk" with Daisy dog, explaining how we would all sleep in an extra hour, but she would still get her morning walk....just later.
Six AM - which of course this morning was FIVE AM and I started hearing Daisy stretching and waking up. Five oh five AM and I could tell she was now standing next to the bed staring at me. So of course, I didn't open my eyes....surely she'll take the hint and lay back down? Well, no. Five fifteen and she is starting to nudge me with her nose and whine a little. "Not yet, Daisy. Lay back down".
Right! She lay down for, oh, maybe ten minutes. Then she's back at my side, nudging AND licking my face. Whining more pitifully. And of course by now I am awake. Fine. Getting up, trudging downstairs to let Daisy out in the yard and get the coffee started. I guess I did get to sleep in a little extra. But clearly I forgot to have "the talk" with Daisy dog about the time change. Maybe next year....
