Dog Day Care Afternoon

I have figured out why the dog day care industry is growing so fast. Everybody knows there are 7 dog years in a human calendar year. A dog year is 52 days long (365 divided by 7), right? So, a dog week is 1 human day long, assuming 52 weeks in a dog year.  Dividing the dog week by 7 days would indicate that a dog day is about 3.5 hours long.  So, when you leave your dog alone for, say, 10 human hours on a workday, you are really leaving it alone for about 3 days by their little clocks.  It’s no wonder they leave you a surprise on your carpet and try to eat your possessions when you're away. Dogs will go days (by their clocks) without eating or “going outside”. This is asking a lot of our pets. Hence the growth of the doggie day care industry where they better service our pets' needs. A proper understanding of the dog calendar is also required to properly groom your pet. Consult your groomer. She should be familiar with the pet calendar. An every week grooming is not out of the question. 

The producers of the movie “Dog Day Afternoon” apparently understood this calendar concept.  Take a “day” and watch it with your dog.
