Time Change and Caleb

How do you explain the time change to your dog, and why do you try?

I wake up at 8 each morning, almost to the minute. I wake up, look at the clock radio, 8, maybe 1 or 2 minutes, one way or the other.

Shortly after that, I have a nose in my ear, or my face is getting licked, by Caleb, our dog. I get up, put some clothes on, make it to the front door, hook up his leash, and let him out.

I set my clock radio back one hour before going to bed last night, so, this morning, I woke up, looked at the clock, 7, and there was Caleb, looking me right in the eye.

I told him it was only 7, he just looked at me. Again, I told him it was only 7, and then I actually started trying to explain the time thing to him, like he understood, or cared. Then I thought to myself, "Why am I trying to explain this to Caleb," so I got up and let him out, fixed coffee and went on with the day.

I wonder how long this will go on?
