as of now have wonderful Dog (husky), Cat & 2 Birds -- a most important question -- without having an animal psychologist! -- recently on mind:
if you feed dog a few times each day -- as for tomorrow morning, does she think 'wow I hope there's food, haven't been fed in 3 days', same when you walk the dog -- if every day, does she think 'OK chances are another walk tomorrow' -- are pets aware of a pattern, can predict & have reasonable expectation of things in the future -- a sense of regularity (in Time sense, I mean!) -- I can assume things of course, but "can't read their minds" -- so put this out there for opinions, from pet-lovers -- what do you think?
Thanx -- from Jim & menagerie

My 2 dogs know what time my husband gets home from work,the can be inside outside it doesn,t make any difference at 10min past 4 they sit right at the gate waiting.When im cooking tea they will sit on the mats (not theirs just kitchen mats) but the j/russell sits on a burgandy 1,and the poodle the pink 1 and they know they get their smacko,s just before I serve tea.
