A sixth sense maybe?
I know dogs are intelligent but sometimes they amaze me.
My hubby and I look at our calendars each morning and decide when, among the Zoom calls, meetings, and all the emails that need answering, we’ll walk Freddie in the afternoon.
The other day, we look through the excitement the day was to bring 😉 and decided on 3.30.
So at 3.27, Freddie came into my office, went under the desk and started nibbling my fingers – one of his way of getting my attention!
He does like punctuality in all things: breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime – if on a rare occasion it’s a little later than normal, he will sit by the door asking to go out for his pre bed ablutions, implying we’re stop ups!
And all without a watch, clock, smart phone or fitness tracker.
Cats can do this as well – I had one when I was a child who knew exactly when feeding time was and was very good at showing his displeasure if it was late. 🐈
It would be interesting to know if this ability goes beyond canines and felines.
Sounds like interesting research when I have the time.
