How do you dog owners do it? My roommate asked me to take care of him while he was gone. One of the tasks was to feed him at 8am. Ain’t no way I’m waking up at 8am every weekend. I like sleeping in. I ended up feeding the dog when I woke up at 10:40am cause I forgot to set an alarm at 8

If you didn’t think you could take care of a simple task you shouldn’t have agreed to do it

Imagine every day was a weekend where you wake up at 11 and immediately get breakfast and then one day you wake up and there’s no breakfast until 2pm. You’re hungry and confused.

It’s a real live being, not a toy. Say no if you can’t do it.

You know what will put even more of a strain? Committing to something and then blatantly not doing it and saying so online. Especially when it comes to FEEDING A PET.

I have two dogs and they get fed when they get fed. Not sure why everyone is so upset about a few extra hours. The dog will be ok for a few days.

I have a dog and I just feed on a plus minus two hours schedule but it’s fine because he is MY dog. If I agreed to take care of someone else’s dog and they said a specific feeding time, I would adhere to that.

Pls don’t have children

C2 - You’d hope that was true, but in many cases, it is not. Sadly many people treat their children worse than pets.

Just look at all the divorces where kids are used as pawns and bargaining chips; all the children of the well-to-do that are used as accessories and reared by nannies and boarding schools; all the children in foster care.

Ok, at first I struggled with these 2 bad boys here - they wake up at around 6 am and I have to feed them. And they need to burn energy A LOT! Wfh has helped a lot on this, but still.

For the feeding part, I bought one of these automatic feeders that can be bought on amazon - it really helped me on their breakfast. Apart from that, sometimes they make me crazy, but most of the time I enjoy them - they give me comfort and love, and they're great for start a convo with women haha

Jesus. How hard is it to do one simple task? If you knew you'd have trouble waking up at 7:59 you should've declined to watch the dog

Hey at least the dog has eaten breakfast. I still haven’t eaten breakfast yet. I view it as our first meal of the day.

To be fair, he asked his brother too (my other roommate) and he didn’t do it either. I at least woke up and did it.

Dog will be fine. Dogs in the wild eat when they find food. Regular feeding schedules is an invention we pretty much created because somebody decided 3 meals a day

This is the answer! 🙌🏻 He should really invest in one of those things.

Mine wake me up lol, kitty opens doors and paws my face until I feed him. If he has trouble getting in the dog licks my face until I get up if I sleep past 7:15 sometimes I even get to 7:20. They are great little schedule keepers even get cold nose boops on my feet if I’m late for walk time.

My dog just eats when she wants to. On the weekends I open her doggy door at 6am and pass out on the couch for a few more hours, she loves just spending her own time in the yard and is usually still out there when I wake up.

I had her in an apartment for a while but having your own fenced in yard cuts down the 'hassle' dramatically

I got two puppies (long story) a year ago and yes they are a huge pain in the ass. I also love it. It ensures I’m up at a reasonable time every day (7-8) and honestly it’s hard to resent them when they are absolutely bursting with joy to see me. These dogs love me so much that after 8 hours of being one room away they are crying and wiggling and jumping all over me. It’s a really nice way to start the day. They keep me calm when this job makes me super stressed and they ensure that I don’t stay focused on my laptop 24x7. I actually find I have BETTER work life balance since I got them. But it certainly isn’t for everyone.

Fiancé feeds the dogs and goes back to bed for a few more 💤.

If the dog isn’t a puppy, you can feed them 2x a day. I typically when I wake up and then when I have dinner. Times vary day to day. Dogs do thrive in routine but the dog will be fine.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
