| Am I The Only One That’s having difficulty with this time change and feeding your fur butt. Cody has a feeding schedule, breakfast is 6AM, dinner is 4PM. An hour before both he starts his whining to eat. I am firm and never give in, boy, is he persistent lol. Now with time change it’s 2 hours of whining. Am I the only one going through this?

| Maybe! LOL Cody is a character! When I have Zippy he has to adjust from Mom's feeding schedule to Dad's feeding schedule. He actually does really well with it and the situation. The other two free feed so it's up to them to figure out what time it is. Ha Ha! |

| Hey you, good to see you. I never had this issue with my girls, they were also on a scheduled feeding, they just went with the flow. This guy has a build in clock that doesn't change, he knows exactly what time it is.

| When you have a dog on schedules for feeding, walking, treat time they have little alarms clocks built in them lol, they know when it's time to eat and when it's time for potty walks and treat time. When we turn the clock back we gain an hour but the dogs have to wait an extra hour to eat "if" they are on a schedule, their little alarm clocks go off telling them its time to eat. All my dogs have always been on a schedule for feeding and walking, Cody is just for feeding, no more walking dogs since I bought my house, makes me happy that he can potty anytime he wants to. Now he has adjusted to the time change (thank GOD) but that first week was torture. I never had this issue with any of my girls.

| Piper is definitely on a schedule with walks, going outside and bedtime routine. She also knows what time my mom usually gets up in the morning and if Teddie veers from that too much, Piper barks at her like she's a stranger...In a couple of weeks we will have lived here three years, go figure! |

| Mine also have an internal clock to know when it is feeding time. The time change definitely messed them up. They start whining about 3:30 pm because they know at 5 pm it is dinner.

| Piper made her schedule (for walks, et al) and put ME on it! No diverting, unless it's raining. And then Pipe won't go out cuz she thinks she's made of sugar and might melt!!! |

| No, the time change has honestly never affected my 2. They also have always just... slept in when I slept in, or eat whenever, lol. We don't really have a set schedule per say though. Jackson gets fed like 4 small meals a day anyway because of his tummy issues. So he often eats at random times haha.

| Cody wakes me between 5 to 6AM usually to potty, if it's 5 he goes out to potty then he wants to eat lol, that doesn't happen until 6AM, I am firm on that. Since I worked when I had puppies they had to be on a schedule, I just followed the same procedure when I rescued Cody. I never had this problem with any of my girls when we went through the time changes.
