the whole time

No mistakes. Looks good to me.

And also sounds very likely!

Why did you choose to invert it?

Huevos, That's a very good question. I sometimes just do especially during conversation. I believe native speakers do that too. What's the real reason?

Hi,
It's commonly a matter of putting at the front of the sentence the part you want to stress.

The mistake was not removing the dog while you were eating. I don't like staring animals.
Also, I would not say "the whole time". I would probably have said sometihng like" the entire time"

That makes sense. Thanks, Clive.
