The value of using pulse timing to measure orbital variations in eccentric pulsar binaries which are close enough at periastron to interact tidally is discussed. We briefly review a model for dynamical tidal evolution which shows that chaotic orbital evolution is possible, and list several applications to real systems. The system PSR J0045-7319 is then discussed, and a possible explanation for its decreasing orbital period is suggested.
