So the old dog doesn't understand the time change thing. He has a schedule and he wants us to stick to it. I think this is actually Jenna's rant more than mine. He bugs her in the morning (before I drag my sorry ass out of bed) when she is back in her little house doing her own thing. She loves her little bit of time to herself in the morning and Chuck keeps wanting breakfast, wanting in, wanting out .....
He has also taken to waking up in the middle of the night, which inevitably pisses off one of us or most probably both of us. He just chirps his squeaky bark until someone gets up at 3:30 am and then watches him wander around the backyard while he forgets why he wanted to go out there.
I'm not sure how to fix this one - more walks probably. Keep the old guy too exhausted to move! 2.5 blocks should work. That will take, oh, about 40 minutes.
Last week I took both dogs out for a morning walk and as we got around the block I saw our neighbor jogging towards us. By the time we got to the end of that block (the long part!) he came around again. Both dogs did their business on the short part so he caught up one more time, and then by the time we got home he was walking up onto his porch. We were little speed demons! (and who just jogs around the block 4 times anyway? branch out see what is one street over!)
