Transcription A Bluesky post from "Slippy", @damnslippy.slippy.me, with a profile picture of a woman with short, purple hair holding a knife: Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they \\\can\\\ talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them." :::
My dog always woke me up at a consistent time every morning. I didn’t train her to do that, and I don’t know what the signal was (other than the position of the sun, I guess). I used to hate it, because it was always too early, but I eventually got used to it.
Maybe I was the trainee, in this case 😆
If she could see the sun, or hear people moving outside, or anything like that, yeah, a smart dog can easily learn to recognise those signals.
Yeah, I think it was the sun. She probably trained me to follow her own circadian rhythm, using her cuteness and affection to convince me to comply lol
