Haha, I'm sure you'll be very much "alive" here in PetFinder, possibly the most alive one among all our forumners here
Yes, dogs can be very adaptive and accustomed towards habits and timings. In fact, I saw a National Geographic documentary that day about psychic animals, and they were talking about this dog that could accurately sense his owner that is on the way home - even when the time he comes home each day differs by many hours. The dog will get excited and wait impatiently by the door when the owner just begins to get into the subway train at the office. Don't know how accurate this report is, but definitely very interesting hehe.
