Dharma can pinpoint time within 15 minutes

Dharma is the g’ma of my canine tribe. I guess being around a long time helps you keep track of what happens at what time each day.

Dinner routine starts at 5:00 PM.

Give or take 15 minutes, the old girl keeps us on a schedule.

She will start getting ready — basically she thinks she’s getting ME ready — for dinner to be served. Once I start making human food, she starts grunting to go outside. Then inside. Then outside again…

The “youngsters” pay zero attention to what time it is.

Now you know: “Hannah Montana,” one of the most popular Disney shows, was originally going to be about a male rock singer named Roland. It was pitched to Disney by Buddy Sheffield. Disney passed on the pitch. Then they moved forward with the idea — they changed genders for the lead of the show along with friends — and then recorded, aired and promoted it saying it wasn’t Sheffield’s idea because the genders were different. Sheffield sued Disney and was compensated.
