Daylight Savings Time Is A Hoax

Daylight savings time is a hoax and I there’s proof. I have a high-maintenance dog but not the kind that needs medical attention or requires a special diet. She’s the type that wants what she wants when she wants it. Some might call her a diva which is synonymous with beagle. Here’s Piper!


She’s 14 years old so we’ve had plenty of time to establish routines, update songs where I replace all the words with her name, and play hide and go seek and by hide and go seek I mean she runs away and I have to go seek her. Another routine is her meal schedule. Her servant (me) feeds her dinner around 4pm every day. I won’t even get into the morning mealtime because it’ll just shock you too hard. Dinner, though, yes it’s at 4pm. So naturally when the time springs ahead one hour for daylight savings, you’d think her new dinner time would be 5pm because her body still is on that schedule and thinks it’s 4pm.

But… no.

Without fail, when it gets to 4pm (which should feel like 3pm right?) she hops around like the Easter bunny. It’s a good thing her whimpers, her cute little face, her wagging tail are so darn adorable because the schedule she has me on can be exhausting. I was so looking forward to a later dinner because of the time change (and ultimately, a later breakfast, too), but unfortunately she outsmarted the world yet again. Therefore…

Daylight savings time must be a hoax.

Kinda like birds. We all know birds aren’t real. What a hoax!
