Spring forward, time warp

Humans and clocks. Pathetic.

Remember last fall when they set the clocks back? I thought we would starve. Waiting an extra hour for dinner is a huge annoyance.

So, here's the weird part: I thought it would be great to get fed an hour early when they set the clocks forward last week for Daylight Savings Time, but Sister and I didn't even notice. We jumped around and made hungry faces at the usual time. Even though the clocks were changed, it didn't feel special. The humans were puzzled. They were all smug, thinking we'd be surprised to get served dinner "early." We didn't realize that the sun was setting later. So much for being rugged dogs who live by the sundial. The human goddess says we must be using "context clues" to tell time. Are we really that domesticated?
