Dogs like me, we know the time;
we do not need a clock.
I know, you see, when breakfast’s due
and when we take a walk.
I do enjoy my schedule;
I like a set routine.
It helps me feel relaxed and safe
if you know just what I mean.
My new friend Birdie likes her meals
to come when she awaits,
But all the rest? Well, unlike me
she just relies on fate.
I asked her what the time was.
She answered “Time? What’s that?”
I guess that’s just our difference
”cause Birdie is a cat.

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
Check out my other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity. You can also find some of my minor software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly write tiny utilities in Python.
I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
