Time is relative. And now that we're back on standard time, the animals we care for are relatively confused.
There's a large number of humans who complain of being out of synch for weeks after the clocks change, but it's just as hard on animals.
Cats, dogs, cows, horses... none of them track time by watches or clocks. They all rely on the cycles of nature. Sunrise, sunset, and the gradients of light occurring between are what govern the animals of the world. When the arrival of meals, the opening of gates, and the lighting of barns suddenly change in relation to nature's glowing orb, animals are left to ponder the cosmic shift in their worlds.
As for me, I found myself fixing lunch at sunrise and dinner at high noon.
It's now been dark for over three hours and I'm trying to figure out if it's yesterday, today, or tomorrow.
