Should I buy my dog a watch?

You trying to say that a cat wouldn’t enjoy putting mice in a blender? Everything I know about cats indicates the contrary.

I swear your post wasn’t there when I composed mine, brian, although the timestamps make me a liar.

But a cat in a blender, every dog needs one of those.

I’ve never seen an elephant fly.

Traffic must be great in your area. :smiley:

Maybe the look was just the way the rigor mortis set in.

My dog growing up got a nightly jerky treat at 9pm. 95% of the time he’d come out from under the end table in the family room where he liked to sleep and start begging for his treat right at 9pm. Occasionally he was early, but as long as it was a normal night where we finished dinner around 7pm and then went into the family room to watch TV for the rest of the evening, he never forgot to ask for his jerky treats. :slight_smile: So cute! Not sure what external clues we were giving off, being under the table he was out of direct eyeshot and we generally waited for him to ask before getting off the couch and heading to the treat closet.

We have three dogs and they seem to work off the actions (conscious and otherwise) of my wife and I. We have the alarm set for 5:30 a.m. Monday - Friday. They wake us up (well, not they, I guess- Butter is the primary culprit, Peaches does it maybe 1/3 of the time, and old lady Scuba is still snoring away) at 5:15. Every stinking morning. I figure my wife and I have the internal clock ticking and we start getting restless 15-20 mins before the alarm goes off, giving the dogs an audio/visual cue that its wake-up time.

They do act differently if we’re gone for different amounts of time, however. If we go to a movie and come home its no big deal, but getting home after work generally results in a doggy party - dancing, showing off toys, kisses, etc. Whether its b/c we’re home or more of a ‘thank god, i can take a leak and get fed soon’ mentality I don’t know.

I’ve noticed in the last few strips, Satch is not wearing the watch. Wha hoppon? Did I miss someting?

I thought he lost it or it got stolen. I remember there was a strip about it a while back.

Dogs, to the best of my knowledge, have no concept of time and cannot quantify passages of time. Examples given to the contrary can be explained by circadian rhythm and a variety of intermittent hormonal brain baths.

Now, cats, on the other hand, are regular time bandits… :wink:
