    Yes!! When Taz was with me he always woke me up around 5am (which is my normal weekday schedule) to be fed, even on weekends. With time changes he still woke me up at the regular 5am time for a few days.

    The dogs wake me up around 7am on weekends (Bruce feeds them during the week) to be fed. With time changes they still wake me up the first day at the old time. Again, it takes them a while to get on the new schedule.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Ha! Fister certainly didn't, he woke me up an hour before I was to get up, BUT... he soon got into the routine.

    We had the change last week. Hate when it's getting dark so early!

    Same here.. Mine will be expecting breakfast at 4:00 tomorrow morning and Sydney in particular will be trying to get me up then. It will take a few days before they get used to the new routine.

    Funny... they make the switch TO Daylight Savings Time in no time!

    I also hate it getting dark an hour earlier. At least since we're at the far end of the Eastern time zone here, it isn't as early as some places. I'm writing this now at about 6pm, and it's only just starting to get dark. There is still the last bit of sunlight to be seen. This is how it will be at 5pm tomorrow.

    When I first moved to the East Coast, which is at the beginning of the Eastern time zone, was I in for a shock when I saw it starting to get dark around 3:30-4:00pm when Daylight Savings Time ended!

    Gosh, I'm not sure! Interesting question, though! We don't have a very good schedule in place right now because I had three different start times for training this week. One day was at 9, two days were at 8 and two at 8:30. Guess I'll find out tomorrow!

    I have a hard time adjusting to the time changes. This one is harder for me than the springtime one.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Notice?? Oy! Normal weekday time to get up is 6:20. Weekends we try and stretch a little. Not this morning!! Welcome back from Daylight Savings Time! Pinot started at 5:30. I don't leave (hubby is out of town) for church until 9:30. I'll have a whole day until then. Sheesh!
