Samhain New (Thanksgiving) Moon
Kate introduced a new bit of nomenclature into our household: Central Dog Time or CDT. Dogs are creatures of habit, especially when it concerns getting up, going to bed and eating.
So are we, come to think of it. Skype calls with my far-ranging sibs prove that point. In order to connect on Riyadh time, 5:00 pm and Singapore time, 10:00 pm, I have to initiate our twice a month calls at 9:00 am Andover time. Last week I came downstairs, fired up Skype and neither Mary nor Mark were online. Why? Because it was 6:00 pm in Riyadh and 11:00 pm in Singapore. I hadn’t shifted my time back to Standard.
CDT operates on the same principle, but explaining the shifted time is much harder. In effect the dogs have to be retrained to eat and go to bed an hour later. Then, do the same thing again, backwards, in the spring. Well, we decided to run our house on CDT, at least as it comes to canines. We’re doing things on CDT year round now. Much simpler for everybody.
