It’s that time again! And by time I mean less of it. Time to lose an hour during a weekend that is already too short and spend the next several weeks fighting what is basically jet lag. It’s the most terrible time of the year (Hawaii and Arizona need not apply).
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT —
- You know how this works, but as always, a gentle reminder:
- Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Goggies are dogs, too, and moggies are cats. Birds...are birds! Peeps are people. PWB Peeps are Pooties, Woozle, Birds People.
- No trolling the diary.
- If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
- Share any and all pootie/woozle photos or issues that you would like .
- If you have health/behavior issues with your pootie or woozle, feel free to bring it to the community. We just may have someone whose experience can help.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, spiders, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
- There is no such thing as stealing a photo around here, but if you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- It should not need to be said, but ANY/ALL photos that imply or encourage human violence against an animal will be considered verboten! Whether it is “comedic” or not.
Look, getting up an hour early sucks. It’s really hard if you aren’t a morning person. Your average kitty, however, thinks it’s a pretty good deal. After all, if the clock moves forward an hour that’s one hour closer to the time when kitty gets fed!
Also, humans getting up earlier is a sure sign that the days are getting longer…
...and spring is on the way!
So cheer up, human! You aren’t losing an hour, you’re gaining a future snowmelt! And when you are struggling to get up to go to work or to start your day, your kitty will be holding down the fort, taking it easy on your behalf.
So in conclusion:
Set your clocks forward an hour.
And don’t worry so much about how hard it is on you.
It’s good for kitty, and that’s the important thing.

Once again, when you read this I will be at work. Someone has to put kibble in Freddie’s bowl! I’ll be reading comments but unable to respond until about 6pm Pacific (pre time change). Sadly, I have to work about 2 Saturdays a month, but I’ll be here next weekend!
