My Crazy Dog--Post #1: Internal Clock

8/30/2017

 
Picture
My little 9-year-old Chihuahua, Lady, can tell time. I haven't the faintest idea how she does it.

Anyone that knows Chihuahuas understands that they can be very loud, or "yappy". Gratefully, we've been very fortunate with ours, as she only barks when she believes someone to be at our door. Or, when she's expecting my husband to return home.

Since my husband started his new hours, he's been getting home at approximately the same time every day. Our dog has become used this, and now every single day, between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm, she is extra sensitive to sounds.

If she hears even the slightest of thumps or knocks, she will begin to bark frenziedly. Of course, as you can imagine in a house with four young children, there are constant noises, which means that between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm on weekdays, our ears are ceaselessly ringing with Lady's high-pitched barks.

I genuinely haven't a clue how she knows that it's time for my husband to come home, as there are no ritualistic activities in our house to give her a hint at the time. She's just a smart little cookie.

Is mine the only dog that knows how to tell the time? Are your pet's meal schedules on an internal clock? Tell me!
