Day One Hundred and Ninety Eight

An very early day. No snow in my side yard. I got to play throw the Red Ball a lot today. That is good. I did not slide into the gate. No ice anymore. That is good.

Emmet walked to his university today. It was not so cold. It is very windy. My ears flap in the wind. That is good. It feels like I am running very fast. But I am not.

Craig is going out for dinner with Paul and Robert. They will eat food that is bad for them. It is known.  He will have a sick tummy. Ha.

Niamh and her friends had the huge don't hurt your head cushions on the floor. They were upside down all the time. I watched. That was fun.  They laugh a lot. That is good.

Zita was at her university meeting again. Universities are busy places I think.  That is why they have to drink so much tea.

Craig drinks coffee. He drinks it very slowly. He should drink it faster. He would have more time to throw my Red Ball if he did.

It is going to be cold tomorrow so all the people can slide on the canal. Silly weather.

Wednesday 30 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety Seven

Raining today. The weather is very silly.

It is Sava's birthday today. Emmet and Chris took Sava out for pizza. Not at Mr. Tony's. They went to their pizza store near Emmet's old school. Different kind of pizza Emmet said.

Happy birthday Sava.

Emmet is downstairs. He is having a nap. They stay up too late fixing the world. It is known.

I got very wet today. There are big puddles everywhere. There are smells everywhere. That is good. When that happens the winter is getting ready to go away.

Lorraine came today and threw my ball a lot. I had to have dry feet before I could walk on the floors. Oh well.

Zita got presents for little Matilde. Niamh says she is almost as small as I was when I came here. I got big. So will she. It is known. When she comes here she can play with my blue bone.

Her mother is a doctor of fishes. She must get very wet. I bet she has to have dry feet before she can walk on the floors too.

Craig's team won last night. He was happy. That is good. 

I got so wet on my tonight walk I had to go in the bath tub. I get salt from the road on my feet and it hurts. Oh well.




Tuesday 29 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety Six

We had a nice walk. It is not so cold today.

We met the back dog with the white tail on the street. I was very brave and ignored him. Zita said I was the perfect lady. I jumped up and gave her a big kiss. Oh well. It was scary. I was very brave though.

Craig drove everyone to their schools today. Niamh had her big exam this morning. She has another one tomorrow. That is not nice. I told her so. Poor Niamh.

Zita has a big essay to do. She has a meeting all about it tonight at the university.

Emmet and Niamh and Craig are going to make their own dinner. Ha. I like peanut butter.

Uncle Bill has a new grand daughter. That is good. Her name is Matilda. She is not Australian Emmet said. Names confuse me sometimes.

Emmet and Niamh and Zita are Irish too. Craig is only Canadian.

Craig told me I am a Bouvier but I can be anything I want to be because I am a dog and can make up my own mind. That is true. It is known.




Monday 28 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety Five.

We went for a nice walk. We met Jamie at the corner. That was good.

Niamh is studying all day. She has her big I have to Know Everything About Everything exam tomorrow.

It is snowing again. I have a very big hard red ball that does not bounce. When I jump on it the snow goes everywhere. Mostly on me Craig says. Craig thinks he is funny. Ha.

Zita is writing more essays.
 
Niamh and I went to the garden. I got covered in snow. That is good.

The present man came today. Niamh got grandfather shoes. That is very silly. She is not even a boy. People are silly.

The big noisy machines are moving all the snow again. I think they are too big. I like the little noisy machines that go on my sidewalk. 

Emmet is reading more books. About old old Greek people who invented everything about talking and thinking.

That must be confusing. The Romans had elephants. That is more interesting to me. You can not smell thinking. It is known.


Sunday 27 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety Four

A nice quiet day. Not so cold. I could sit down outside and not be too cold.

Jamie and I went for a very long walk. All around the pond. Under the bridge. Past the duck's pond. A long walk.

Jamie is a very polite dog. She hardly ever barks. Oh well.

Everyone here is studying or writing. Craig is reading his books. We threw the Red Ball many times today. That is good.

I helped Niamh with her studying. I am a big help she said.

Cara and Emily's mom helped Niamh to make an atomic bomb for her science exam.

I had a nice nap on my duvet.

Craig had croissants for lunch. I like croissants. I get the pointy ends. That is good.

Emmet said that kings dont let dogs sleep on their beds. Even if they had very big beds. That is why there are not lots of kings anymore. It is known.

Saturday 26 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety Three

A quiet Saturday. Craig went out for breakfast. Niamh had a sleep-over and then all day dance. Zita studied and studied her university homework. I helped her from my duvet. Then I had a nice brush to make me beautiful.

Emmet is a still bit sick. He went out for a walk. He snuck in a big bottle of coke. Zita said he was very silly man. He agreed. Me too. He is silly. He is my friend. We dance. That is good.

Zita was writing another essay. About why girls are girls in old Ireland. They had uniforms at her school. The skirts were way too long. Niamh would not like that. It is known.

Craig is reading a book about a lost crown and a king with way too many wives. A silly book I think. With so many wives your bed would be way too big. There would be nowhere for the dog to sleep. A silly book.

Zita and I went out for a nice walk.  We left Craig to make dinner. Ha. Peanut butter sandwiches I bet. Or Mr. Tony's Pizza.

He made an egg pie and it did not burn. I will not get any peanut butter. Oh well.

The nice lady is home. She left my treat in the box for me. That is good.

Nighty nite Lucy and Tilly way across the ocean.







Friday 25 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety Two

Not a good day. A very breakful day.

Last night Craig's car would not go. He was very sad.

Emmet did not go to his university today. He has a sore throat and a sick tummy and his arms hurt. Oh well.

Craig's car was ok this morning. I think the dog with the white tail did it. It is a mystery. That is what they always say in Ireland Zita says.

Niamh's phone fell and broke. She is very sad. It was a nice phone. It was red.

I dropped my Red Ball and it went all the way down the scary stairs. I did not want to go down to get it. Emmet was asleep. He is sick.

He came upstairs to get Zita to open his banana. Craig laughed at him. Craig said he should use a sword. That is not nice. He is sick. Swords are heavy.

We only went for a short walk. The ice gets in my paws and hurts. Too bad for me. Oh well.

It is Pretend to be a Scotsman Day Craig said. We do not have to eat sheep's tummys. We will have pasta instead. We are Italian-Scotsmen Zita says.

Tomorrow will be better. It is known.


Thursday 24 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety One

A quiet day for me. Craig drove everybody everywhere. I guarded the house.

I get icicles on my chin when I go outside. Emmet thinks it is funny.  He shaved again so he can not have pretty icicles. Too bad for him.

They did not go to the loud movie. Uncle Bill had to go away for a visit.

Craig said there are lots of loud movies for them to go to next week.

Niamh went to her friend Mackenzie's for dinner. Craig had to look at a map to find her house. He will get lost. It is known.

Niamh has to take care of a cat this week-end.

She gets lots of money to look after cats. It is because cats are not as nice as dogs. It is known.


Wednesday 23 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Ninety

Zita and I went for only a short walk. Her hands were cold. My feet were cold too. I did not tell her.

I learned a trick. Craig taught me. If I bring my Red Ball in the house and leave it on my kitchen bed it will be bouncy when I take it out in the very cold. That is good.

It is so cold everyone got a ride to the schools today. I stayed home with Craig so he would not get into trouble. We had peanut butter.

Lorraine came and threw my Red Ball today. She was glad it was bouncy.

When Craig went to get Emmet at the university he left his chair outside.

It lost Craig. I did not like that. It is Craig's chair. It should be not be empty. When he came back it found him so it was all right.

Emmet says he and Craig and Uncle Bill are going to one of their loud movies tomorrow. They like loud movies. Oh well.

Tuesday 22 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Nine

A busy day. A very early day.

Zita drove Niamh to dentist. Craig drove Emmet to Dr. B.

Zita drove Niamh to school. Craig drove Emmet to his university. I stayed here to guard the house. My duvet is very warm.

It is not warm outside. It is very very cold. I do not like cold so much today. My Red Ball does not bounce so well when it is cold. That is sad. Red Balls are supposed to be bouncy. It is known.

We had lots of visitors today. Next door Bill came over with a book for Craig.

Uncle Bill came over with another funny book for Zita. About Ireland. Ireland must be a very funny place. Zita laughs and laughs when she reads the books. That is good.

They found out I could open the gate with my nose.  Zita was out moving the cars and I came out to help. She said I should not open the gate by myself. I might get lost. They would be sad she said. Oh well.

Paul came over. Craig and Paul moved the lock to way up high. Oh well.

The present man brought Emmet a new book all about the broken house war. He was glad. Emmet likes books. Especially books for his university. He gets lots of them. That is good. Emmet likes his university.

I bet I can still reach the new lock. It is known. Ha.

Monday 21 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Eight

It was very cold today. Zita and I went for a short walk. Too cold. Even my new coat was cold.

Niamh took all her homework to school. She was glad it was all finished.

Last night there was something I did not like outside on my street. I barked and barked. Niamh and Zita told me to stop barking.

They did not understand. There was something not right outside my house.

I went to the den. Craig was watching his team lose. I stood in the doorway and I barked at him. He understood. He came right away to look out my watching window. He told me it was OK.

He understands. He sometimes helps me watch my corner. He does not always believe me but he knows it is my job to watch out for my people. It is known.

I went to Dr. Smith today. Sometimes I have little accidents. It is very embarrassing. He has some medicine that will fix it all up. I like Dr. Smith. I barked too much in the car. Oh well.

Dr. Smith said I should eat more. Just like Emmet. 

Zita has a meeting tonight. I will be in charge. That is good.

Sunday 20 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Seven

They did homework all day. Not much time to play throw my Red Ball.

I went for a very long walk this morning. Jamie came along. That was nice. We did not see the very big owl. Maybe he was off chasing the squirrels Jamie said. That is good.

I had a nice nap.

Craig and Zita were out giving people our newspaper. I stayed here with Niamh. She is safe with me.

When we are alone she dances and plays her music loud. I just watch. I am good at watching. That is why I have a corner to watch.

Emmet is playing his Tell a Long Story game with his friends from all over and far away.

When he plays this game he does not come up for dinner. If he came up all his friends would get lost inside the game I bet.

He told me all about it. I did not understand. It is a very confusing game. Too many rules.

There are no dogs in that. That is why it is confusing. Dogs are not confusing. It is known.





Saturday 19 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Six

We had lots and lots of snow last night.

Craig did not go to his old guys breakfast. Too much snow.

I played in the garden. Zita said I looked like a snow dog. I could wear Emmet's top hat. That would be nice.

We had to use the big noisy machine to blow away all the snow. I do not like that machine. It is too noisy. There are lots of big noisy machines pushing the snow. They are scary.

Emmet and Sava and Chris have gone to the movies. I bet they will go and eat hamburgers and chips. That is what guys do. Emmet told me so. Emmet tells me everything. That is good. That is what dogs do best. We listen.

Auntie Louise and Uncle Bill are going to pretend they are Scotsmen tonight. Uncle Bill said they were going to have to eat sheep's tummys. That does not sound nice. I like carrots and green bean treats. It is known.

On my walk there was a not nice person walking towards us. I gave him my big ferocious bark. He went across the street.

Zita said that was only the second time she had ever heard my big ferocious bark. That is true. Most people I see on our walks are nice. He was not. I could tell. That is why he went to the other side of the street. He knew that I knew he was not a nice person.

I told Ollie and Maggie about him. I will tell Jamie and Zorro too. It is known.

Friday 18 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Five

It was so cold today that I only stayed our for a little while catching my Red Ball. 

When I came in I had ice all over my chin. Emmet said I would soon be a Poppysicle. I think he is funny.

Emmet and Zita drove to the university so they would not freeze into statues.

Next door Bill came over to talk with Craig. I had a nice nap.

Zita has to go and sell flowers at Niamh's dance night. It is too cold for flowers.

Craig and Emmet and Niamh are going to have Pizza. From Mr.Tony's pizza store. That is where they always get their Pizza. I do not get pizza. Oh well.

Nearly all our newspapers are gone. That is good. When they are all gone I do not have to guard them. It is a big job. There are lots and lots of newspapers.

The big scary Owl Jamie and Zorro and I saw is on the cover of our newspaper. It does not look so scary all folded up. That is good.

Craig tells me not to bark. He says there is nothing out there. Ha. He can not see. I can see much better. I am a dog and he is old. Ha. He should listen to me more. It is known.

Thursday 17 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Four

I was in charge of the house this morning. We got up very early. Even Emmet. Everyone went off and left me in charge. I had a nice nap on my kitchen bed.

Then Craig and Zita and Emmet came home. That is good. Then the people came for my newspapers. I get anxious about that. Sometimes I do not recognize them and I get a bit excited. Oh well.

I went to help move the car. When I got out I thought about going to the park. Zita told me not to but I went to my corner instead. Not good listening Zita said. I did not get a treat for helping move the car. I will try harder. I like treats.

Niamh is at school until late late helping with the dance night. I am a good helper too. Sometimes I forget to listen though. Oh well.

It is cold again and my Red Ball was stuck in the ice. Craig had to get it out for me. That is good. I like my Red Ball.



Wednesday 16 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Three

Niamh is mad. She had to stay home today. She has a sick tummy. Niamh hates to miss school.

The newspapers came early. The nice men brought them in to my yard. There are lots of them. 

Craig read her a story. I listened. I got a bit of cracker. Niamh can only eat crackers. Maybe she ate too much cheese. Oh well.

Zita was at school so I am in charge. Ha. Craig does not believe this. He is wrong. Ha.

Emmet's new university book came. the present man brought it. Emmet was happy. He could not find it anywhere. Now he has one. That is good. He is happy but still sore.






Tuesday 15 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty Two.

A quiet day. No visitors at all. I played throw my Red Ball a lot. And I slept on my warm duvet when Zita studied.

Craig read his books. He has lots of books. The present man brought him some yesterday. Craig said they were late Christmas presents for him. Ha.

I went on my walk this morning. It was a good walk. I did not pull too much Zita said. That is good.

Today is Niamh dace a long time night. Toe dancing and then even more dancing after that. After is not toe dancing she said.

She is reading a book by Mr. Shakespeare. Craig has a spear. It is even older than he is he said.

Zita got it for him when they were young. A long long time ago. It is known.

Niamh's book is very long. She said it has twelve nights. That is a long time for a book.

I do not read books. No one teaches dog's to read. That is sad.

Craig has lots of big old books with pictures. You do not have to read them. Just turn the pages.

I did not chase Emmet tonight. I know he is sore where they put holes in his side.

Chasing me would not be fair. I would catch him because he is too sore. He should go to see Dr. Smith. He would make him better. It is known.


Monday 14 January 2013

Day One Hundred and eighty One

Niamh got home. Not too late. She bought lots of clothes. I thought she was dancing. Oh well.

Everyone is reading for their university. It is very quiet.

Niamh slept in. She did not wake-up until 1 o'clock. She thinks she is Emmet. It is known. It is not so quiet now.

Craig and I played throw my Red Ball a lot today. It is still warm. When it is warm I do not slip on the ice and hit the fence. that is good.

Uncle Bill came over. He brought Zita one of his Christmas presents.

It is a book about Irishmen. He said it was very funny. Zita thought it was funny too. She laughed so loud she woke me up from my nap on my warm duvet.

Gramma is coming over for dinner. It is not a cheese party. That is good. I am a bit tired. I went to bed late last night.

Craig moved more of the ice. He has a big ice breaker. It is a bit scary. I do not go near it. Just in case.

Now I will not loose my Red Ball. That is good.




Sunday 13 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Eighty

It is too quiet here. No Niamh. Way too quiet.

Craig read me a story. It said people way long ago people invented cheese. It was the first food people invented. That is good. Dogs like cheese. That is why dogs liked people way long ago. It is known.

It is still not cold. Zita went out to push all the ice away. I was sent to the car to help. I bark to much Craig said. Oh well.

I worry if my people are outside and I am not there. There are dangerous things out there. Wolves and very big Owls. Or Bears Emmet says. Or the possessed dog. I should be outside. it is known.

They just do not understand. That is sad. Oh well.

Niamh will be home tonight. Very late Zita says. I will stay up and wait.

I like to go to bed early. Only me likes that. Oh well.

Saturday 12 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Seventy Nine

I could not find Niamh this morning. She was not in her bed. I looked all over. I remembered. Niamh is far away with her dance friends. Craig laughed. I do not care. It is my job to know where all my people are. Ha.

Every morning I get up when Zita does. Then I go out side. Then I come in for my breakfast.

Then I find my green toy and I go and look in all the rooms to make sure everything is alright. It is best when I carry my green toy with me.

It is important I know what is going on in my house. It is my job.

Sometimes Zita comes with me. After that I go outside again to make sure the squirrels are gone then I come in and wait for Zita to finish her coffee so we can go on my walk.

It is good to know what is going to happen next. That makes me happy. Dogs like everything to be normal. It is known.

Emmet went to the Hinton Burger last night. He knows his way home from there so he will not get lost. That is good.

Craig and Zita had Indian food last night. Emmet says it is too spicy for us. He gave me a carrot treat. That is good.

Craig and Emmet and Uncle Bill are going to a movie next week. They go to loud movies.

Me and Zita and Auntie Louise like quiet movies. It is known.

The Black dog with the White tail came on my sidewalk tonight. He thought I would not see him. I did and scared him away. He is a nasty dog. I do not know why. He is possessed. It is known.

Niamh is gone way away. Zita and Emmet are at their university all day. Craig and I stayed home. It is not nice outside today.

Uncle Bill came over to keep Craig out of trouble. They drank coffee and ate sandwiches from Mr. Nacastro's cheese store. And a big sausage. None for me. Oh well.

I had a nap on my warm duvet.

Emmet is going to see a movies with his friends. They will have chips and hamburgers. That is what they do. Like my Red Ball I think.

It rained today. That is silly. It is winter. Craig says the weather will be sillier from now on. Oh well.

Thursday 10 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Seventy Seven

Zita said I am a big help moving the cars. She said I could be a chauffeur. That is silly. I can not push the pedals. I would run into something. Uncle Bill would laugh.

We had to get up so early for my walk that there was no sun. I went back to bed. Like Emmet.

Emmet got up too early and went back to sleep too.

He is learning all about generals who win their war sitting under a tree. He says it is confusing because all the fights have two names. Oh well.

Craig and I threw my Red Ball a lot today. It was not cold. I went to the garden too. I was tired today. Lots of running catching My Red Ball.

Niamh is very excited. She is going far away for her dance contest early early tomorrow. To a big hotel. On a nice bus. With her nice dance friends. It has a nice bathroom. That is good.

She will not have to take me or Ollie to eat nasty people. That is good. I bet they do not taste good. It would not bother Ollie. Dr. Smith would be sad if I got a sick tummy.

I am going to go to bed early tonight. It is known.

Niamh is a dance helper tonight. That is good. She is a good helper. Just like me.

Craig had to get new tires. They are black and make funny noises. Silly Craig.

Niamh is going far away for her dance contest this week end.

Dogs can not go she said. Too many people. All dancing. Someone might step on my paw and then Niamh would have to hit them on the nose with her toe shoes. That would be sad.

I helped moving the cars this morning. I was a big help. Zita always gets me to help move the cars.

Craig had to drive Niamh to school this morning. Zita drove Emmet to his university. Lots of moving cars.

We opened a new peanut butter today. I got some. That is good.

Craig and Emmet like peanut butter. They eat a lot of peanut butter sandwiches. I always get some. That is good.

I was tired and had a long nap this afternoon. Then Niamh came home and I had to chase her all around the house. She stole my blue bone. I caught her. She gave back my blue bone. That is good.

Then she had to go to dance. More toe dancing she said.  I am going to wait for Emmet to come home and chase him. Ha.

They put the other chair back where it was. The Christmas tree scared it away. I am glad it is back. It is a nice chair.

My living room is all the way back the way it is supposed to be. That makes me happy. It is known. I gave everybody kisses.

Monday 7 January 2013

Zita said she is going to be finished her university when the summer is here. That is good. Craig said then we will have a big cheese party. That is good too.

Emmet wore his new warm shoes to school today. His feet are still warm. He was happy.

Craig needs new tires. You can see inside them. Zita says this is not good. She is right. He will get stuck in the snow and freeze into ice. Silly Craig.

Niamh is toe dancing again. Her toes will get cold.

She was late tonight. She had to take another bus. She says there are some nasty people on buses.

Sunday 6 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Seventy Three

I had a very long walk this morning. It was not so cold. I did not see the owl. It was a good walk. When we got home Craig was awake and threw my Red Ball.

Then they had coffee and I had to wait. Oh well. Then I had a nap on my bed in the kitchen. I can see the door from my bed. I know if anyone goes out. They might take me along. That is good.

More snow. I nearly got lost when I jumped in a big pile to get my Red Ball.

The big scary machines are going to come and take the snow away. The machines are very loud. They have lots of very big trucks that follow them all over. They are loud too.

Niamh's cousin Lucy in Ireland reads my blog to her dog Tilly. Hello Lucy. Hello Tilly.

Tomorrow all the holidays are over. They all have to go back to school. That is sad.

Except Craig who is old and retired. And me.

I have to make sure Craig has exercise. That is why I have to make him throw my Red Ball for me. Zita told me. It is a big responsibility.

It is not easy being a dog. Especially in a house full of stubborn people. It is known.




Saturday 5 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Seventy Two

Saturdays are always quiet in the winter. Craig goes off for breakfast with all the old guys. Zita and I have a nice long walk. Niamh and Emmet sleep.

When we get home I have a nap on my duvet. It is warm. Zita makes more coffee. They are nice days.

Casey was visiting today. Casey is very big. His bark is even louder than mine.

The Black dog with the white tail walked down the other side of the street. He would not go on my corner. Ollie and Casey were sitting on my corner. They barked at him. He went away. Ha.

Emmet is writing an essay about some people telling other people what to do. All about when the old Queen owned all the world and painted it red. Red is a nice colour I think.

Her dogs will have a Red Ball. Not my Red Ball.

I lost my green ball. It bounced off my nose and over the fence. Oh well. I do not like the green ball as much as my Red Ball. It is known.

I went down the scary stairs and got on to Emmet's big bed. I was helping him with the essay. He was glad.

Emmet has his own fridge. There are no beans in it. Only ice tea. Oh well.

Niamh got her hair cut. It is not curly anymore. I have curly hair. That is good.

Friday 4 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Seventy One

It is warmer today. My Red Ball is not stuck in the snow. That is good. I had to play with the green balls. They do not taste as good as my red Ball. It is known.

Jamie and I went for a nice walk this morning. We did not see the Owl. That is good. It was a very big Owl.

Jessie who teaches Niamh's dragon how to talk came over today. Jessie and Niamh went out to lunch. I did not go. I was too busy.

Dogs have lots of responsibilities people never notice. If I did not watch my corner who would? Oh well.

I was helping Emmet with an essay. I am a big help with essays. I always help Zita.

It is harder to help Emmet because he lives down the scary stairs. I help him when he comes up for tea and his peanut butter sandwiches.

Emmet got new shoes last night. He showed them to me. Real leather with fury stuff inside. He said they are very warm. That is good. It is cold walking to his university.

Niamh and Emmet got new slippers for Christmas. Niamh never takes hers off. They are very red. That is good. Emmet's are new too. They smell nice. That is good.

Craig and Zita have old slippers. Oh well.

Thursday 3 January 2013

Day One Hundred and Seventy

They have upset my day. Zita had to take Niamh to get a shot early this morning. I did not get to go on my walk. Niamh hates shots. So do I.

When Zita came home I had to wait and wait for my walk. Craig gave me a little bit of peanut butter cookie when he drank his coffe. It was good.

When I went for my walk it was so cold my Red Ball was stuck in the snow and I could not get it out. I had ice on my nose. It was very cold. I like my coat. It is warm.

My fur is growing back. Soon I will be as furry as Jamie. I will be warm then.

Silly Niamh has gone visiting the forest with her friend Zoe. Craig made her wear socks and take two pairs of gloves and her hat. I hope it is a forest with no wolves.

Emmet has to get new shoes. Real shoes Zita says. Made of leather and warm. Those are real shoes she says. They went to the store to get them.

Emmet says the Pope has red silk shoes. They would not be warm. Zita would not buy them. That is good. No snow in Rome just pasta Craig says.

Day One Hundred and Sixty Nine

Zita says we should do something good for our new year. I will try not to eat too much cheese.

I still can not find any new years. It is still all covered in snow. Maybe the new year is under the snow. Oh well.


I went for a walk with Jamie and Zorro today. It was a nice walk.

We saw a giant owl. I pretended not to see it. So did Jamie and Zorro. Owls make scary noises. I like my ducks better.

We put out food for the little birds. They need help in winter. We can help. That is good.

The nasty squirrels try to steal their food.

Zita got a food machine for the birds. The squirrels can not use it. Ha. Silly squirrels. They fall off. Ha.

We have big black birds who do not like squirrels. When they come and sit on my trees the squirrels hide. Ha.

Day One Hundred and Sixty Eight

It looks the same to me. Maybe they forgot to bring the new year. Oh well.

We stayed up very late last night.

Zita and Niamh and Craig and I stayed up and watch a scary movie. The Queen got turned into a bear. And there were dogs in it. The lady had hair just like Niamh's. It was in Scotland with castles.

Craig likes castles. He and Emmet always go to castles in Ireland. Castles are cold Zita says. I like my duvet. It is warm.

Emmet was downstairs with his friends from all over everywhere.

Emmet wants to be a Pope. He likes the hats he says. Silly Emmet. Those hats will fly off in the wind and you will have cold ears. Silly Emmet.

Craig says that is why popes live in Rome where it is warm and not windy. It is known

I had to have a bath today. I could not go outside after. Zita said I would turn in to Popsicle.

Before my bath Zita washed my towels and put them into the dry and hot machine so I would not be cold. Craig said I was spoiled. That is true. It is known.

We are having a party tonight. I will be careful.
