While the time was in daylight savings time mode, I always fed my dog at precisely 5pm. Now they changed the time and 5 oclock is actually
4 oclock. If I feed him now, he may get a digestive problem from being fed an hour early even though the clock still says its 5 oclock. If I wait until the 6 oclock, which is actually 5 oclock, then he may notice the difference in the sun position and not want to eat, or will eat too fast to compensate and thus get a digestive upset. Now, I noticed that the raingutters on my house form the shadow on his dog house. I am contemplating moving the rain gutters forward enough to change the shadow by one hour. I realize this will require either adding to the overhang on my house, or removing part of the existing overhang. I am not sure which it is. Can someone tell me whether to add to, or remove part of the overhang, and how many inches will compensate for one hour's worth of shadow variance. I also am wondering if changing from my present 4 inch wide gutter to a 6 inch size would adjust the sun's angle enough to cope with at least part of the hourly variable and rather than ripping the roof apart, I could possibly change to a six inch gutter and add some sort of extension to the gutter edge. Of course this all depends on whether I need to add to the roof, or subtract from it, which I am still unsure.Please advise. I already have a sick dog after only one day of time change and it will continue to get worse if I do not act quickly. I'd hate to lose my dog as a result of this time changing. My dog is my best buddy and he needs the best of care.
