Well, it is when I get up. But they like to start "reminding"
me a couple of hours ahead. ;-)

Actually, since I work during the week, their breakfast is
at 8am just before I leave for work and their dinner is at 6pm
when I get home from work. Weekends are the worst when I want
to sleep in a little. And even though they know their dinner
time is not until 6pm, on weekends they (well actually mainly
Lucy) starts bugging me around 3pm! Of course during the week
I'm not home to bug so I don't notice. ;-) I don't know what
I'll do when I retire in a few years and am home every day!

Well, I'm mean, too. When Lucy is especially annoying on
the weekends I will sometimes delay her dinner until 7pm as
a punishment. Although, I'm not sure who is punished more,
her or me.
