I've anecdotally seen plenty of evidence for object / other being permanence. However I don't know offhand of a good study design for gauging the perception of time rather than other factors like hunger, restroom need, sleep, etc.

What do you mean "in the same sense we do?"
Pets are good at learning your schedule. They know when you normally come home, or when you feed them, and they start to get impatient if you're late in either.
Sure, that example relies on another factor as a frame of reference (hunger, or the sun setting). But don't humans do that as well? Our sense of time shifts dramatically when we're kept indoors without the ability to see natural light.

#8This is the first time I've heard lupus cause severe brain damage. Is this a rare occurrence? Since it's inflammation, could this same scenario happen with meningitis?

From what I've read, dogs can smell time through the decay of scent particles. They don't know that an hour has passed, but they know that something doesn't smell as strongly. They understand day/night, but don't understand the concept of time the way we do.
