Day Two Hundred and Eighty Seven

I am brilliant at my walks. Zita said so. I got treats again. That is good.

When we were walking by my pond a very big fish jumped out of the water. I do not think dogs should go in my pond. It was a very big fish. I will tell Zorro and Jamie. I will not tell Ollie. Ollie does not care about fish.

This morning Zita went back to her meeting at the university so I had to take care of Emmet and Craig.

Craig is reading a new book. He is a viking again. Oh well. No cheese for vikings.

Uncle Bill came over to help me. He has to go and buy more arrows. I think the turkeys stole the last ones. The turkeys are still winning he said. Oh well. They drank more coffee. Emmet drank his tea.

I can not go to catch the turkeys. I would chase the turkeys. It is known.

Emmet is giving a speech tomorrow for his university. He is writing it all down so he will not forget it.

The black dog with the white tail walked on my corner. I barked at him a lot. He is possessed. It is known.

Craig said I barked to much. He does not know about that dog. I do. It is my job. Ha.

I had dinner with Emmet's friends last night. They ate upstairs. At the dinning room table. Not in the basement.

Everybody laughed a lot. They all think Niamh is very funny. She is.

Zita and I drove Niamh to her toe dancing class in the big car. I got in trouble. Too much barking.

I had to come home. I was sad. Oh dear.  I like being in the car. I am the car guard. I will try harder. Zita and I can try again.

Day Two Hundred and Eighty Six

I had a nice walk. I am getting very good at playing heel. I get treats because I am so good at it.

I thought everybody would stay home because their university is done. I was wrong.

Zita was back at her university for a meeting.

Sava and Chris came and got Emmet. They went out for lunch. It was Emmet's breakfast. They had to wake him up. I bet they had hamburgers and ice tea. That is Emmet favourite.  He said he could live on raisins. Silly Emmet. Ha.

Now they are back in Emmet's room playing on the too many computers. Zita says they will have to dig for them. Zita says Emmet's room to too messy.  She says the dust bunnies will carry him away.

That is not true. I will not let them. I know bunnies. They eat my vegetables and are very small. I am vey big and so is Emmet. It is known.

After lunch Craig was away too. He had to go to bring his car back from Mr. Paul's fix-your-car store. I was the house guard again. More peanut butter treats for me.  That is good.

Niamh is going to her toe dance class. She was late. I do not know why. They did not tell me. Oh well.

Day Two hundred and Eighty Five

I had a very warm day.  It was so warm Craig left the door open and I could go to my yard whenever I wanted too. That is good.

We played throw the Red Ball a lot. That is good.

We had a very good walk this morning. I can play heel perfectly.  I am very good at it Zita says.  I get treats for being so good.

I got a big cookie from the nice lady who leaves me treats in front of her house. That is good.

There was a very big goose beside the pond. I barked at it. Zita would not let me chase it. Oh well. Geese are very dirty.

The pond is for the ducks not geese. Ducks are just silly not dirty. It is known. Geese are big. Not as big as me. Ha.

No squirrels today. That is good. My friend Jamie came to visit today.  We looked for squirrels. We did not find any.

Niamh and Zita went shopping this morning.  Niamh got new shorts. Emmet said there was not enough short and too much Niamh.  Niamh kicked him. Oh well.

Zita cleaned up everything with the loud blowing machine. It is scary. I do not like machines. They are all too loud.  It is known.

Emmet and Craig will watch the scary program tonight. I know because Emmet has his King in the North shirt on. That is what he wears for his wolves and dragons program.  People are very silly.  I will have a nice nap.

Day Two Hundred and Eighty Four

Zita and I are practising our walks.  Last night I was perfect and I got cheese treats. I like cheese.

I had a very good walk this morning too. We walked with Jamie. That is nice.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Niamh are going out for dinner tonight. The end of university dinner Craig said. I am going to stay here and guard my house.

I will get a peanut butter treat. I always get treats when I guard my house.

My pond is full of water again. The ducks will soon be back. The ducks are silly. I like to watch them fly. That is what they do when I chase them.

Everybody slept in today. No essays to write. Zita says I can still help her read. She says she has lots of books to read now. That is good.

There were squirrels in my garden today. In my flowers. I hate squirrels. I barked at them. A lot. I got in trouble. Oh well.

Day Two Hundred and Eighty Three

Emmet finished his remember-everthing about the people who were not Romans exam today. He is happy. And tired.

This was Emmet's first time at his university. Now he is finished for the whole summer. He says is going to help at his university in the summer. That is good.

Uncle Bill came over to see Zita's very old bottle. He is going to come over one night to see if they can open it without breaking it. Ha.

Uncle Bill is hunting turkeys again. He has to get up way early in the morning to find them. He did not find them today. Maybe tomorrow. He says turkeys are smarter than they look.

They drank more tea and ate cookies. That is what friends do. And laugh. They are good at laughing.

Uncle Bill had not seen me since I went to the make-me-beautiful-store. He said I was beautiful. He is a nice man. He is right.

Niamh came in and left before I knew she was here. She is at her dance again tonight. She bought new dance shoes. They are soft all round. Except for the bottoms. Oh well.

Day Two Hundred and Eighty Two

Not so busy today.

Craig drove Zita and Emmet to their university for the remember-everything exams. When they came home they went to bed for nice naps.

Zita used my warm duvet. I slept on it too. To keep her safe.

Craig said this was her last rember-everything exam. She is all finished her university.

Until next year. She is going to her university just a little bit next year to get another pice of paper. That is what universities give you when you have finished Craig said. That is silly. We have lots of paper here. Oh well.

Beaause she finished her university Craig gave her an old bottle of whiskey. He could have found a new bottle if he had looked harder I bet.

Craig's present is better that the universities I think.  Zita says she is glad to have the papers.

I have papers too. They just say I am a nice Bouvier dog. Zita is nice too. She did not need papers to say that. It is known.

Emmet has to go to his university for a long time to get all the pieces of paper he wants. Oh well

Niamh has toe dancing papers from Russia.  Russia is away far away. Farther than Ireland. Niamh does not have any cousins in Russia.

Craig does not have any papers. Too bad for him.

Day Two Hundred and Eighty One

I had a nice day. Then it started to rain. Oh well.

Zita and Emmet are very very busy. Lots of Irish tea. A remember every thing exam is tomorrow for both of them.

Zita stayed all day at her university to study where it is quiet. Emmet is in his basement with his comfy chairs. It is known.

Lorraine came to throw my Red Ball. That is good. Craig was gone all day. He had to drive way far away to take Niamh to the dance store. But all the not-so-expensive shoes were all gone. Only the way too expensive shoes left.

Niamh was sad. When she got home I let her scratch my tummy until she felt better.

She got on her fast bicycle and went to dance. Tonight is a dance till late night.

The dog with the white tail was on my corner. I did not bark at him. I stared at him until he went away. Craig said I was very good at not barking. I got two carrot treats.  That is good.

The flowers in my garden are here. I can see them from my watching window. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Eighty

I was very very brave last night. I was helping Zita study on my warm duvet and I heard some nasty barking from some nasty dogs outside my house.

I heard them right away. I ran into the den and jumped up on the sofa and gave them a fierce bark. A lot of my very fierce barks. They must have run away. I could not see them. Their barking stopped.

Zita and Craig said I was very brave. They said I was a very good at protecting all my people. That is true.

I do not know why some dogs are nasty. Craig says he does not know why some people are nasty. That is true. Life is confusing.

Emmet says Polar Bears are the answer. When it is too warm away way up north they can come down here and eat nasty people.

They probably do not taste very good. Emmet says Polar Bears do not care. That is good.

It was very nice today. Craig and I threw the Red Ball a lot.

Zita was at her university all astudying for her remember-everything exam. Emmet is in the basement drinking tea and study studying two remember-everything exams.

Chris and Sava are all finished. Poor Emmet. They make him stay up late. Oh well.

Niamh is all better. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy Nine

Zita and Emmet and Niamh are still studying all the time.

Except today Niamh has a sick tummy. I will make it all better. It is my job.  I have to take care of  my people. It is the rule.

Emmet says I am very good at it. That is true.

He says I am very good at chasing him to the dinning room table. And dancing. That is true too.

Paul came over to fix my gate. Craig and Paul made lots of noise fixing the gate. Very loud noises.

They put another new door handle on. I will teach myself how to open it. It is known.

Then they made more coffee and ate cookies. And talked a lot. All about politics. I had a nice nap.

Last night we met my friend Jamie on my walk. That was nice. We had a long walk. Then I helped Zita get Niamh in the car. I was almost very quiet.

I told Jamie about my dangerous hedge.  He will look a his hedge just in case.  He will warn Zorro too.

Craig says there are no lions here. He said they would not dare follow Uncle Bill back from Africa. It must be bears.  Oh well.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy Eight

Everybody is home. That is good.

Niamh came home and took me for my walk. I was very good.  I did not pull or chase any leaves.

Zita came home from being away with her go-away-to-nice-hotels friends. That is good. I was very happy she was home. I tried hard not to jump up.

Craig threw my Red Ball a lot today. That is good. He drank a lot of coffee too. And read his book.

He did not put my warm duvet on the bed. Oh well.

When Zita got home she put my duvet back on the bed. That is good. I like it when things are the way they are supposed to be. It is known.

Craig and Emmet will watch the scary television show tonight. I will sleep on my warm duvet.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy Seven

I am still beautiful today. That is good.

My friend Emily came over this morning. She said I was beautiful too.

Niamh's toe dance friends came here to make cookies. I did not get any. Oh well.

Niamh is going to a stay up late and get up late party with her dance friends.

Zita is staying with her stay-in-nice-hotels friends for dinner tonight.

I have to take care of Craig and Emmet tonight. I like it better when everyone is at my house all night. It is known.

Emmet is taking me for my walk. I do not like things to be so different. Oh well.

Emmet brings lots of treats. That is good. I did not pull at all. Emmet said I was perfect. I was.

It is cold today. I hope my friends the birds are warm. They do not have nice warm duvets like me. That is too bad. Zita gives them food.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy Six

I was at the Make-Me-Beautiful store all day.

Then I came home. I like to be home.

I had to have a bath at the Make-Me-Beautiful store. I like my own bathtub better.

The people at the Make-Me-Beautiful store are very nice. But I do not know them. I am glad to be back in my own house. With my own people. It is known.

Zita told them not to make me look way too skinny. Zita said just take off enough to show everyone how beautiful I am.

That is what they did. Now I am beautiful again. Emmet said I was beautiful. So did Zita. That is good.

Going to the Make-Me-Beautiful store makes me very tired. I am going to help Zita with her university studying and have a nap on my duvet. That is good.

I did not want to go for a walk tonight. Craig said I was a grumpy dog.

That is not nice. I just like to stay in my own house after I go to the Make-Me-Beautiful store.

Niamh says that I get stressed out.

That is not true. I just want everything to be normal. My normal. Just like my friend Emmet. Oh well.

Craig says it is nice to see my beautiful eyes again. It is true.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy Five

I am going to the Make-Me-Beautiful-Store tomorrow.

I like coming home from the Make-Me-Beautiful-Store. I do not like being in the Make-Me-Beautiful-Store. It is not my house. I like to be in my house. Or in my car. Or on my nice front patio. It is known.

Zita will take me to the Make-Me-Beautiful-Store. It will be all right. She told me so. That is good.

I pull too much on my walks. Zita says she and I will train harder when she finishes her university. That will be nice. Maybe we can train Craig better.

Too much reading. Too much coffee drinking. Not enough Red Ball throwing. It would be good to train him better.

Craig was away all day again driving all over getting things here. Taking things there. No cheese. No green beans. Oh well.

He took Emmet to his remember every thing exam about the broken house war.

Craig is making dinner again. Ha. More little pieces of paper.

Niamh is going to take me for my walk. Zita is at her university till late late.

There was a raccoon in my garden. I scared it away. I think. They are much bigger than squirrels. It is known.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy Four

I had a nice quiet day. It is very sunny to today.  No soggy dogs today.

Lorraine came to throw my Red Ball today. She also shines the big front windows where my nose leaves big marks. I like Lorraine.

It was good Lorraine was here to throw my Red Ball. Craig was gone all day driving Niamh to the dentist and to the book store and the dog toy store.  She got me a new big red ball with a rope. That is good.

Emmet got a shirt form his scary television program. He will be happy. Big scary wolves and dragons.

We have a dragon that lives in the living room. He is not scary. He has red running shoes. Maybe that is the dragon Niamh and Jessie talk to. I do not know much about dragons. I bet they eat squirrels.

Craig got a new book about a detective who lives in Paris.  That is good. They have lots and lots of cheese stores in Paris. Uncle Bill told me. He likes cheeses too. That is good.

Day Two Hundred. And Seventy Three

I had another nice quiet day.  All the snow is gone.  I stayed outside in my yard lots today.

My friends the birds are living in my hedge. They are red birds. They are very busy.

Zita is off a her university all day because she has a remember every thing exam today. Emmet is down stairs studying all about the broken house war. They will use all the tea.

Emmet said some people died at the run a long time race. That is sad. He said nasty people did it.  Dogs are not nasty like that.  I hope they do not have any dogs.

Craig threw my Red Ball a lot today. That is good.

I fell asleep last night in the kitchen and I did not wake up until Zita opened the side door.  I was very embarrassed. She said I was a sleepy watch dog. Oh well.  I will try harder.

It is hard being a dog. It is hard being a people too I think.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy Two

A very nice day. I was not a soggy dog today.

Everyone is still busy. Except Craig.

He drives people all over and makes coffee for people who visit. And he throws my Red Ball. He is a good thrower when there is no snow.

I know the people who visit. They come here all the time. I go in the kitchen and just have a nice nap. They talk and talk and laugh. If they have toast I get some. That is good.

Zita is still writing writing at her university.

Craig makes the dinner. He puts food in the stove. I do not think he is good at it. He has to look at his little pieces of paper too much. Oh well.

Emmet is studying too. He has a bunch of remember everything exams.

Emmet came upstairs to tell Craig something wrong happened at a big run a lot race. Too many people got hurt. That is too bad.

Dogs would not hurt anybody racing. We would try to run faster. People are very silly. That is sad.

Paul came over to get a book. Paul is going to be a roman detective too. The Romans had lots of cheese. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Seventy One

I had another quiet day. Everyone is still busy busy writing.

I got in trouble last night. I rippled my nice old bed. Now there is a big hole in it. I can not use it anymore. I have to use my new not as good bed. It is not so soft and warm. It is lumpy. Oh dear. I was very sad.

Everybody told me it was a silly thing to do. I know. They should not tell me so many times. It makes me very sad.

I helped Zita deliver the rest of the newspapers this morning. In the car. There were squirrels all over. I will tell Jamie and Maggie. I hate squirrels.

I had to have my paws washed. I was a soggy dog again. All the snow is melting. I am a bit wet when I come home from my long walks.

Craig threw my Red Ball a lot today. It was nice out. He is not afraid of the nice weather. He will not get stuck in the sunny days. That is good.

Tonight is Craig and Emmet's watch about scary wolves and dragons night. Oh well.

I will help Zita with her university studying. She has lots of remember-everything exams very very soon. I will lie on my warm duvet on the big bed. I will be a big help.

Day two Hundred and Seventy

 I had a very quiet day.

Craig drove Emmet to his big remember-everything-now test for his Lets Kill the King and Have a Revolution class.

Zita is all a day studying. At her university.

No one is here at all. Craig is making the dinner. Oh well.

Craig moved all the books around in the den. I do not know why. Maybe the vikings got lost.

I had a very nice nap. 

When Niamh comes home I am going for my walk. Niamh and Lindsey are taking me. I promised Craig I would not pull. I will try very hard.

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Nine

It was not a nice day. Rain and snow and ice and wind. That is not right. My friends the birds are back. Too late for snow. It is known.

I heard something in the hedge in the middle of the night. Zita let me out so I could chase it way. I think it was a lion.

I am a bit tired today.

Uncle Bill came over in his big truck. He brought his own made sausages for Craig and Zita. That is good. They like sausages. I like green beans and peanut butter.

Emmet came up to tell Uncle Bill all about Mr. Kipling. Craig and Uncle bill laughed about old cars. It is because they are old too. Not like me and Emmet.

Zita was a her university all day writing and writing and drinking tea. It was a busy day.

Zita and I had a short walk because it is way too windy and the ice hurt our eyes.

We had to move my kitchen bed. For the newspapers. So they would not all blow away.

A very busy day.

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Eight.

I had a very good day.

It is newspaper day. The nice men brought their very big truck. I did not recognize it and barked a bit. I was embarrassed. Oh well.

They left all the newspapers here and they put lots and lots into Zita's car.

After lunch Zita and I got in the car and I helped deliver all the newspapers to all the people in the stores.

Sometimes when I go in the stores on my walks they ask if I am bringing them more newspapers. Silly people I do not bring the newspapers, I guard them. I sit in my car and watch all the people. No one would steal our papers. I am too fierce.

Craig went to his make me beautiful store. They did not make him beautiful. They just cut his hair and made his beard short.  He is too messy for the make me beautiful store.

Niamh and Zita and I we have real make me beautiful stores.  That is good.

Craig and Emmet and Uncle Bill just have tidy me up stores. Oh well. Too bad for them.

Zita did not get home from her university until late late. I had to wait up for her to make sure every thing was all right before I went to sleep.  It is hard being a dog in this house. They just go every which way.

Except for Emmet who likes his big orange room with all the big comfy leather chairs. And too many computers. And all his swords. So he stays there. Or the university. Or the Hintonburger. Ha.

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Seven

A quiet day.  No bears or lions last night. I checked my hedge many times when I went out to get my Red Ball. Just in case. It is my job.

Lorraine came today. I did not tell her about the dangerous hedge. She might be scared.

She does not have a lot of swords like Emmet.

Lorraine threw my Red Ball a lot. Lorraine likes my Red ball. She likes me to catch it.That is good.

Emmet likes my blue bone. He always steals it before he has his dinner. Then we dance and he gives it back. Silly Emmet. He is my friend.

Emmet and Zita are still writing and drinking tea. I lie on my duvet and help. Sometimes if it is lots and lots of writing Zita has some of her very old scotch that lives in the basement. It is not like Craig's scotch oatmeal cookies or scones she told me. No crumbs she said.

Emmet is getting smart teeth. I have the biggest teeth. Emmet told me that Dr. Don said he will have a sore mouth for a while. Oh well.

 Zita helps brush my teeth.

Craig and Uncle Bill went out for lunch. I bet they did not eat any vegetables.They will have sick tummies. Ha.

Zita is late late at her university tonight. Emmet took me for a walk.

It was a bit short. I ran too fast. I try not to pull. It is hard. The snow is nearly gone. There are lots of things that need to be looked at. Oh well. Emmet laughs at me. That is good. 

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Six

I had a very exciting night. I saved our house.

Just after I went to sleep I heard them in my bushes.  Dangerous fierce animals in my hedge.  I saw them from the bedroom window. I had to move the big window cover to see them. I had to step on Craig.  He woke up.  Oh well

Then I ran into the kitchen so they could see me better at the window.  Then I went back into the bed room to tell Zita and Craig all about the danger.

They were not afraid because I was there. Even Niamh woke up. I explained and explained that it might be wolves or perhaps lions who had followed uncle Bill home from Africa.

They said it was ok and we should all go back to sleep.

Silly people I can not go back to sleep when my house is in danger. It is my job. They did not seem to understand.  I was up till late late.

Craig said it was probably a raccoon. It was not a raccoon. It was too big. There was more than one. It did not smell raccoon. People do not like to listen. They will be sorry when they get eaten.  Maybe it was a bear.

I was very tired in the morning. So was Zita.

Craig said I was a very good guard dog. Very brave. And loud.  And persistant. That is true.

This morning I had a long nap.

In the night Emmet came up to make tea I told him all about the fierce animals hiding in my bushes. He did not go out side.  Emmet is smart. And he has swords.

My duvet is very warm. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Five.

I had two nice walks today. I was very good.

The big clearing machines go up and down my street a lot. We must have a dirty street. Oh well. I am not dirty. Zita gives me baths all the time.

Mr. Garry who lives with my cousin Matty came over with a present.  That is good. We like presents.

Matty's went to the make me beautiful store last week. He looks skinny now. Oh well. I like Mr. Garry. He likes our newspapers. We always give him lots. That is good.

Zita is going to tell them at my make me beautiful store not to take off so much this time. Just enough she said. Craig says I have so much fur that he can not see my eyes. He says I have beautiful eyes. That is true.

Emmet has a sore throat and has to eat salt. Maybe he will have to go to the doctor.

Zita and Emmet are nearly finished university. The university asked Zita to come back and do more university with them. Emmet has lots of university to go. He told me. That is why he can not be Pope just now. Too bad.

Craig is finished being a Viking for now. Now he is a little girl detective in England. That is silly. He is way too old to be a little girl.

He should read books about old men with beards who drink coffee and read books. Ha.  It is known.

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Four

It is a rainy day. I do not like rainy days. No one wants to throw my Red Ball when it is rainy. I get too wet and am a soggy dog.

We always have bacon for breakfast on Sundays. I like to smell the bacon. I do not eat any. Oh well. Bacon will make my tummy sick. I get carrot treats.

Everybody is doing their school work. Except Craig who reading and is a viking again.

I have my naps on the floor between all the bedrooms and the den. Then I can see everybody. Except Emmet.

I can hear Emmet downstairs. Sundays he writes stories on his computer with his friends from way far away. I can hear him laugh.

Niamh is off at her toe dancing day.

Craig and Emmet are going to watch their scary show about wolves and dragons tonight.

I will go to the bedroom and help Zita with her university work. There are no wolves or dragons at the university. It is known

Emmet wishes there were. Silly Emmet. Dragons are way too big to go to university. It is known

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Three

A Saturday. I do not like Saturday too much. Zita does not make Niamh's lunch on Saturday. I do not get any leftover treats. Oh well.

A man came to bring Craig more of the big black boxes that make all our music. When he left he took away more boxes. Craig said it was OK.

I was not sure about this man. He talked way too much. I stayed in the kitchen to watch. I was very brave Emmet said. Emmet stayed upstairs in the den. Just in case I needed help. We are very brave together, Emmet and I.

Zita and I drove Niamh to dance. I was perfect. Not even one bark. I got treats.

The loud machines cleaned all the sidewalks. My paws do not get so dirty. That is good.

Zita and Emmet are still reading and writing, reading and writing. And drinking all their tea. I am a good watcher Zita says.

Niamh knows everything all about Banff where the deer walk in the streets. I would not like to go there. The sidewalks would be very messy. It is known.

Day Two Hundred and Sixty Two

It is a very nice day. It was not too cold. We played throw my Red Ball a lot.

Last night I got in trouble.  I dug a big hole in my yard. Oh well.

We had a nice walk this morning. My friends the birds are back. That is good. My paws got very wet and dirty. I had to have a little bath. I am all clean now.

Jessie the dragon talker came over last night to help Niamh with her mountains and rivers homework. Jessie drinks tea too. Maybe she is Irish.

Emmet says there were dragons in Ireland way long long ago. Some are still hiding away he thinks. That is good. Niamh and Jessie could talk to them.

Craig and I watched the movie about the guests who ate all the man's cheese. There is a dragon in it too. It is to big to talk to I think. It was a very loud movie. I had a nice nap on my warm duvet.

I nearly caught Emmet last night. Maybe tomorrow. I am good at chasing Emmet.  Niamh chases me.

She stayed up way too late and could not wake up so I went in and kissed her until she was wide awake.  She liked that. It is known.

Day Two Hundred an Sixty One

A very good day. I got cheese from the Cheese Weasel last night. 

This morning Emily and Cara's mommy brought my Red Ball home. And my green ball.

She found them in the garden where the snow had hidden them. That is good. The squirrels would steal them. That is what squirrels do.

Craig threw my Red Ball for a while. Then he had more coffee. Oh well.

I had an early walk. Today is Zita's go to university very early day.

Zita said it is the last get up very early class. That is good. I like my warm duvet.

Not so cold out today.  Emmet is still writing and writing. And drinking his tea. And listening to his friend Mr. Colbert.

I do not know him. He lives on Emmet's very little computer. Oh well. No cheese for him.

Emmet told me he will not try to be a Pope until he finishes university a long long time away. No Swiss cheese for me. Oh well.

It is very windy to day. It is an ear flapping day.

I saw Jamie today. Jamie has little ears. I have big flappy ears. Zita brushes my ears. That is nice. 

Day Two Hundred and Sixty

Craig just told me. It is Cheese Weasel Day. It is when the magic Cheese Weasel brings cheese presents to all the people who play with computers.

We have lots and lots and lots of computers in my house. We will get lots of cheese. That is good.

Emmet will eat it all. Ha.

Emmet likes cheese. He will give me little bits. That is good.

Maybe I will get Swiss Cheese if I am a Swiss Guard Dog when Emmet is Pope.

I like the Parmesan and the big smelly cheese from Mr. Nacastro's cheese store. My nose loves Mr. Nacastro's store.

Craig says I have a very big black nose. That is true. It is because I have a very small black tail.

Lorraine came today to throw my blue ball. My Red Ball is too chewed up. We had to put it away. Oh well.

Zita said we will get me a new Red Ball. Red Ball are hard to find. Oh well.

Day Two Hundred and Fifty Nine

It is way too cold today.Too cold for spring. It is known.

No one will go out and throw my Red ball. Only a few times. Oh well.

Craig told me is is going to be a viking again. He said that the Roman detective books have too many vegetables. I like vegetables.

I have a new place mat for my bowls. It has french writing on it. Emmet says the part of me that is not Irish is French. That is nice.

They have lots of cheese in France. It is known. There is not a lot of cheese in Ireland, just castles. And rain. And Niamh's cousins. They dance too.

After dinner last night Emmet and I went dancing. I put my paws on his shoulders and we dance. Slow. Not like Niamh. Emmet and I are good dancers. It is known.

Craig's car came back from Mr. Paul's tire store with new tires. I walk past the tire store sometimes on my walks. They wave at me. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Fifty Eight

I had a better day today.

We had a cheese party and I was very good. Zita said I was so good that she give me two treats. There was a lot of cheese on the short tables and I ignored them. It was very hard.

Niamh had another do not go to sleep until too late night with two friends. I went to sleep. They laugh a lot. That is good.

Craig and Emmet stayed up way late watch their program with dragons and wolves. It is very scary Craig says.

I stayed in the bed room on my warm duvet and helped Zita read all her university stories. They are not scary she says. That is good.

I had a nice walk this morning. I saw Jamie. I told him I saw squirrels. He said he saw some too. Oh well.

Emmet forgot his university essay at home. Zita had to take it to the university. Silly Emmet. I did not go. I stayed here to guard Niamh and her friends. I make them laugh. That is good.
