Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Six

I had another busy day.

Zita and I took Craig to his old friends breakfast. 

Then we visited a new make you beautiful store. Right on my busy street. 

Maybe I will go there. Maybe. They did not have any treats for nice big dogs. Oh well.

We did not have a nice long walk today. Because Doctor Susan fell down. And got hurt. 

Zita had to help her to the hospital. To get all of her insides pictures made. Oh dear. 

Doctor Susan was way too sore to even drive her car. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Mister Don stayed with Susan. In the hospital. And Zita came home to our house. All by herself.

Then Craig and Zita drove Lilly to a restaurant for her dance a lot school special say thank you dinner. 

Emmet came upstairs. So I could guard him. All by myself. That was good. We had a little nap.

It is a very beautiful day. Outside. But it is a not so very nice day. It is the day when Uncle Bill went straight to heaven. A year ago. We did not talk about it. That is good. 

It would just make us all sad again. Uncle Bill would not like that. It is known.

I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. When everybody is all fast asleep. 

I will ask him to say hello to my friend Uncle Bill just for me. And to say hello to my friend Zorro too. 

I think they go on interesting trips in Uncle Bill's flying motorcycle. To see all over everywhere. Way fast. Ha. That is good. 

This afternoon Craig and Zita had to look for even more cars for Zita. Not way too small cars like Craig's. Nice cars for me and Zita.

When they got home Zita had to run right to Doctor Susan's house. As quick as can be. She did not even come into the house. 

Even after the hospital Doctor Susan was way too sore. She could nor even sit up. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Zita had to go to help her. That is what friends do. I could not go to help. Susan's house is not so big. And I might get squished. Oh dear. 

She had to have special do not be too sore pills. But she was is still way too sore. Zita brought her Emmet's special when you are way sore help you sit up pillow. Oh dear. 

We are having hamburgers tonight. Even made outside hamburgers. Because is is way beautiful and warm outside. Good for us. 

Niamh and Lee and and Cara are going out to dinner. To eat Chinese food. That is what they like to eat. When they go out. Good for them.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Five

Everything is only nearly not all right. 

Mister Nick and Mister Helper Alex are still putting brand new paint everywhere. Again. 

I could not help. Dogs are not so good painters. I would just get all stuck to the wall. Maybe my nose. Maybe. Zita told me. Oh well.

I stayed in the bedroom. Because Zita needed my help writing to all the new rascal ladies. I like to be a big help.

Craig drove Niamh to her dance a lot school. Her tummy is not so bumpy and sore today. She still has to take the fat pills. Oh dear. 

But she had to come home right away. She can not go to the too expensive coffee store. 

Because she is still sick. It is known. 

Yesterday Niamh had to go to our very big used to be a church building. To sign lots of papers. So she can teach all the little dancers. In the summer time. 

Zita drove her.

Mister Peter came back in the afternoon. To put all the very bright new lights all together. So he did not make even any noise. Ha. That is good. 

Craig and Zita and Emmet went to the new just only pizza store last night. On our busy street. To have brand new tasty pizza with our friend Miss Deidre. That is good.

Miss Deidre's father was Craig's professor. When Craig went to Emmet and Zita's nice university. A way long time ago. 

He was a even churchman too. He went to Heven. To teach everyone to think. All by themselves. And eat chocolate cake. He was Irish like my friend Zita. Ha. 

Emmet came home early. From the tasty pizza store dinner. Because he had to play his game and talk with all his friends. From all over. Even very far away. 

But Craig and Zita stayed out until our bed time. Because they had to talk with Miss Deidre. And have more desserts. Ha.

Miss Deidre's husband Mister Gene is going to come to our city. To play his piano on the giant stage. Downtown. With some of his friends. 

Maybe Miss Deidre will come too. To keep him company. That is nice. Mister Gene is way old. Older than Craig. Ha. 

We have lots of Mister Gene's music. When Emmet was a very little baby he used to go right to sleep with Mister Gene's music. That is good. 

I guarded Emmet and Niamh. All by myself. 

We do not have any curtains in our living room. Or our dining room. Everybody can see into my house. 

They can not see anything. Just sheet mountains. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Zita went to Doctor Susan's house after our lunch. To drink more tea. I could not go. I had to stay here and guard Craig and Emmet. 

I can not guard Mister Nick and Mister Helper Alex so well. I do not understand them. They can just talk to themselves. Oh well.

They put all our furniture back. All where it should be. Everywhere. And our dining room too. That is right. 

But not all our beautiful pictures. Oh dear. Or Emmet's very loud at night big on the wall clock. Oh dear. Maybe tomorrow. 

They are nearly all finished with the brand new paint. Now we have a new colour on the other wall in the living room. It is dark. 

Not dark like me. Just dark like Zita's keep your fingers warm sheeps gloves. Ha. That is good. 

Craig and I played catch the ball lots of times. 

And I had a nice long nap in the den. So Craig would not be just all alone. It is my job. Ha. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Four

Everything is still not right. Oh dear.

Mister Nick came very early in the morning. And then his helper too.

Then Mister Peter came. To make not so much noise today. Ha.

I can not go and look out my watching window. Oh dear. That is not right.

We did not eat our dinner in our dining room. Because it is all covered up. 

We ate in the den. Not even on a table. Oh dear.

Zita and I went for our nice walk. That is good. It is not very noisy outside.

Last night I got up on the not for Poppy sofa. With my friend Zita. 

Because was a bit upset. Because everything is not where it should be. It is everywhere else. That is not right. 

I did not get in trouble. Everybody understood. Because they are my family. 

Craig and I went in the kitchen. I got a tasty bean treat. Right from the refrigerator. Ha. 

We went back in the den to watch the old detectives. I did not get on the sofa. I just had a nice nap. On the comfy rug.

Today I stayed in the bedroom. I helped Zita with all the rascal ladies work. 

I can not help putting on the brand new paint. I am not a very good paint brush. That is why I had to stay in the bedroom. On my comfy duvet. 

Nobody moved my duvet. That is good.

Our friend Miss Diedre is in our city today. Looking for people for the television. 

Not for her scary chop everybody up Viking program. For another one. A not scary one. That is good. 

I do not watch the scary Vikings. Only Craig watches them. 

They do not scare him. Because he is a pretend Scotsman. Craig says if you eat lots of porridge Vikings can not scare you. That is silly. 

Craig and Zita are going to a nice restaurant with Miss Diedre tonight. To have a tasty dinner. And talk. That is good. 

Maybe Craig will have porridge. Ha. Too bad for him. 

Another nice university wants my friend Niamh to go there too. Oh dear. All the nice universities want Niamh to go to them. Oh dear. 

Niamh told me it is too scary. Deciding things are scary. It is known. 

Maybe Niamh and Emmet will go to dinner with Craig and Zita and Miss Diedre. Maybe. Or they will will stay here and I will guard them. Ha. Maybe I will get treats. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Three

I did not like this day so much. 

It was a move everything somewhere else day. Oh dear.

Mister Peter came and hid in the ceiling and made lots of too loud noise. That is what Mister Peter does. Oh well. 

Then Mister Nick came to put new paint everywhere. I do not know why. 

He moved all our furniture into a big pile in the middle of our living room. And put table sheets all over everything. 

But not me. That is good. 

He even took all the beautiful pictures off the walls. And the Scotsman's shields. Right off the wall. Oh dear. 

What if we need the shields. What if lions or the giant raccoons try to get in our house. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Everything should stay just were it was. 

Maybe we are moving. Oh dear. Nobody told me. So I just stayed right beside Craig. All the time.

We would not move without Craig. And me. It is known. Ha.

Then Craig and Zita put everything in the den. Now it is all full up. Oh dear. 

Even the make music speakers. From the living room. Oh dear. 

Mister Nick has a noisy machine too. Or dear. Too many noisy machines. It is known.

Before our lunch Zita took Emmet to his nice university. 

He went to have a tasty lunch in the table sheet restaurant at his nice university. 

With his all the way from way far away India professor and the other helpers. That is good. 

Emmet even had soup. Because he is very polite. Emmet does not like soup so much. Ha. 

They talked for a long long time. All about all their favourite way old stories. That is nice. 

We had very tasty bagel sandwiches for lunch. Zita brought the very tasty bagels back from not so far away Montreal. From a famous just for bagels store. 

Niamh said we can not tell nice Mister Kettleman or he would be sad. Oh dear. 

Niamh said it has to be a secret. Ha. That is good. I am a good secret keeper. 

That is what dogs do. Keep people's secrets. 

Niamh went downstairs. To the just for our visitors bedroom. It is not so noisy in the basement. It is way noisy upstairs. I stayed in the big bedroom. 

Maybe we will watch some nice detectives on the television tonight. In the den. Maybe. If there is room. Oh dear. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Two

We got up early for our nice walk. Because Emmet had to go to his nice university today. Early. 

To help his professor. All day. 

They gave him free tea. And even free lunch. Just to talk to all the people. Ha. That is good.

Mister Peter came back to my house today. With his noisy machines. Oh well. 

We put my comfy bed in the dining room. That is good. It is not so noisy in the dining room. 

Mister Peter leaves all the noisy machines in the kitchen. 

He is a very noisy man. I stayed in the den. To guard Craig from all the too loud noise. 

Zita had to go to not so far away Montreal. To talk to new rascal ladies. And drink coffee. Until night time. Oh dear. 

Nobody told me. That is not right.

I had to guard the whole house by myself. Even Mister Peter. 

We had special tasty bagels for our lunch. 

After lunch Mister Peter went way up into the ceiling. And was all gone. 

I could hear him. I knew he was not all lost. Because he was very noisy. Ha. That is good. 

Craig and Emmet and Niamh will have to make their dinner. Oh dear. They will have just tasty pasta. 

Niamh is still at home all asleep. Her bumpy tummy medice makes her very tired. 

My sore foot medicine made me tired too. Oh well. I have a nice comfy bed too. 

Niamh's dance a lot school gave her all the numbers for her remember everything exams. 

She was very happy. Even with a sore tummy. That is good.

Craig brought Emmet home from his helping day. Professor Alec and Francis were there too. Listening to Emmet's professor too. 

We always see them on my nice walks. In the summertime. 

Craig and Emmet brought home the special tasty heavy bread from the bread store. 

And a special giant chocolate treat for Niamh. That is good.

Emmet and the other helper are going to to lunch tomorrow. With his very nice all the way from way far away India professor. Ha. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty One

I had a nice quiet day. We got up way early. 

Zita and I went for a nice early walk this morning. Before Craig was even awake. 

It was a very nice walk. It is all sunny. It is not so warm. Yesterday was not so warm too. 

Then Zita had to go downtown to the way too small office. In the gold big car. All day. For the rascal ladies. 

Because of lots and lots of important meetings. 

Niamh did not go to her dance a lot school. Because of the bumpy sore tummy. Oh dear.

Even another university wants my friend Niamh to go their nice university, now in not so far away Montreal. Oh dear.

So I had to guard everybody. All day. Except for Zita. 

Craig and I had a hot croissant for our breakfast. Then we played catch the ball. Good for us.

Emmet was all awake before Niamh. He is still reading his cut off your head book. Oh dear. 

That is what Emmet likes to do. And eat apples. And talk to his friends from all over everywhere. That is nice. 

He has to go to his university tomorrow. To help his professor. At an important meeting. For lots of even more professors. I do not know why. 

Maybe it is because he reads all the very big interesting books. All the time. And writes good stories. Maybe.

The present man brought new programs for us to watch. In the den. After our dinner. When Zita has her Irish tea. 

Niamh and Craig watched lots and lots of the scary dragons and wolves program on the television. After lunchtime. 

Craig and I had bagel toasts for our lunch. Ha. Bagels are tasty. 

I did not watch the scary program so much. I had a nice comfy nap instead. In the living room. Far away from the scary television. Good for me. 

Emmet went for a nice long walk this afternoon. He said he is relaxing. Because all his remember everything exams are over.

Our friend Miss Andrea got all the way back to our cheese party friends' house. All safe. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty

I had a little quiet day.

Miss Andrea came to have our bagel breakfast with us this morning. 

She had to find her bicycle. It was in our scary basement. She left it here. Before the too much snow came. 

Her remember everything exams are all over too. So she put all her clothes and everything in a very big nearly a truck. 

To drive all day. To go see my cheese party friends. She is going to take care of their house. And their cats. Oh. Well too bad for her. 

She is going to work at a hospital. Inventing things. All the summertime. For real money too. That is good. 

Niamh did not wake up for our breakfast. Her tummy is still all spotty and store. That is is not nice. 

She has to take big fat pills. They make her very sleepy. Oh dear. 

Zita put a giant bandage on her tummy. When she was all awake. 

She can not go to dance a lot school tomorrow. Her nice Doctor would not let her. Or Doctor Susan. Or Zita. Oh dear.

Zita went to the tasty food store to get Niamh's favourite tasty food. 

So she will not starve into just a stick. That is good. 

If Niamh was just a stick maybe some silly dog might just run away with her. By mistake. Oh dear.

I would rescue her. Because I and very big and fast. And very fierce. Not all the time. Just sometimes. 

Zita got her the extra special flat donuts. That is good.

Then she went to find beautiful cloths to make Niamh's just for her special party dress. For the last party at her dance a lot school. 

Zita can make very beautiful dresses. She used to make brand new way old clothes for museums. A way long time ago. 

Emmet is still reading the cut off people's heads book. Oh dear. 

He will not cut off anybody's head. Even when he knows how. He told me. That is good. 

You can not find your way home if someone cuts your head off. Oh dear. 

Everybody needs to be able to find their way home. So you need your head. It is known. 

Last night we watched a too confusing program on the television. It was another writing on the television program. Oh well.

Maybe we will watch a nice program with out television writing. Tonight. 

Craig's very scary everybody dies dragons and wolves program is on again. I will not watch it. 

Dragons are very scary. Because they are not real. Only real things should be on the television. It is known.  

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Nine

Zita and I took Craig to his old friends breakfast this morning. 

Right up to the busy street. Then we went all the way down the street for our nice walk. Good for us.

When Craig came home my friend Niamh showed him her tummy. It was all bumpy and red. And sore. Oh dear. Oh dear. That is not nice. 

Then Doctor Susan said Zita had to take Niamh to a nearly a hospital. Oh dear. 

I do not like hospitals so much. Sometimes you go to the hospital and you can not sleep in you own comfy bed at night. 

You have to sleep right there. With their too smelly pillows. And no comfy duvet. Oh dear. That is not right. 

When they came home the nice Doctor said my friend Niamh has to have a lot of medicine. 

She has to take giant pills. And rest a lot. Oh dear. 

My friend Niamh does not like to rest so much. It is known. 

Craig said both her ends are on fire. That is not true. He is wrong. 

Not even one end is on fire. Ha. Too bad for him. 

Then Craig and Zita had to out to look at more cars for us. Not a too noisy car.  And a not too small for me car. 

Zita said finding nice cars is not very fun. Because people are not very good listeners. 

Zita does not like it when you do not listen to her. It is true. 

Sometimes if you do not listen so well you have to go and sit in the kitchen. All by yourself. Oh well.

When Craig and Zita were all away I guarded the house. It is my job.

Emmet was just reading his cut way far away long time ago people's heads off book. In the basement. Oh dear.

Niamh went all fast asleep. Because she is a bit too sore.

When Craig and Zita came home Zita and I went for a nice walk. Before dinner.

We had Emmet's favourite stick to your fingers little pieces of meat for our tasty dinner. 

Niamh did not have any. She does not eat meat any more. Only hot dogs. Or Chinese dinner meat. Ha. That is silly. 

She is going to take care of two little girls tonight. Niamh used to be their dance a lot teacher. That is nice. 

She said they are very nice girls. That is good. They do not have a nice dog. Oh well.

Last night we watched the old nice churchman catch nasty people. We watched two programs. Ha.

I had a nice nap. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Eight

I had a very busy day. It is a rainy day. Sometimes. Not all the time. 

Before our toasts we went for a nice walk. I was not so very soggy. Just a bit. We had fat toasts again. That is good. 

The noisy make the streets all clean were everywhere this morning. Lots of them. All at the same time. On my own street. All morning. 

And the scary sidewalk cleaners were here too. Oh dear. 

I got into trouble. I had to sit in the kitchen for a little time. All by myself. I was a too much barking dog.  Oh dear.

Zita's nice hair was all flat when she came home from the make me beautiful store. Yesterday. 

Craig was all surprised. He said she did not look like his friend Zita. Oh dear. 

She looked like nearly someone else. Oh dear.

She was not someone else. She was my friend Zita. I could tell. She still smelled all Zita. Ha. 

Craig is just old. Maybe his nose does not work so well any more. Maybe. Ha. Too bad for him.

This morning after our nice walk Zita's hair was all curly again. Just like before. Because of the rainy day. Oh well. 

Emmet had a long sleep in today. Because his nice university is all over. For just a little time. That is good.

We watched a put lots of words on the television detective program last night. 

We could not understand the people. So they put the words right on the television. So Craig and Zita can read them. 

Or we would not know who the nasty people were. That is a silly program. 

Today Zita had to go to more important meetings downtown. In the way too small office. 

She was there until very late. We did not go for a nice walk before dinner. Oh well. 

I stayed here to guard Craig and Emmet.

Niamh had a tasty diner last night with her friend. Not even at Mister Kettleman's bagel store. At a nice restaurant. Then they even had ice cream. Ice cream is Niamh's favourite.

I could not go with them. I had to guard the Craig and Zita and Emmet. All by myself. 

Dogs can only go to some restaurants. Too bad for us.

Craig's headache still has caught him. So he was just way quiet. In the den. 

Last night I had to tell him he forgot the cheeseie treats on my before bedtime dessert. Oh dear. 

I can not have a nice comfy sleep if he forgets the cheesie treats. It is known. Oh well. 

Last night I got lots of giant treats at the nice bank. On our nice walk. 

I am their favourite nice big black dog. They told me. It is true. Ha. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Seven

I had a nice day. Everybody was busy today. Not me. Ha.

Craig had a way bad headache. This morning. Oh dear. He got all dressed anyway.

Emmet wrote too many words. For his last big story. Zita and Craig helped him find some too many words. They just threw them away. Oh dear.

Then it was all done.

Zita and I had a way nice walk this morning. It is a not even a little bit cold. 

And we have lots of still all green flowers. All over. And the nearly fall into the pond trees are going all green again. And the trees in my garden too. 

Mister Peter was not here today. So it was not noisy. That is good.

Zita had to go to a special important lunch. About the old rascal ladies. She did not know she had to go. She got there way fast. 

And she had to go to her make me beautiful store too. She was way busy today.

When we get the new car. Just for Zita and me. Ha.

Craig drove Emmet to his nice university this afternoon. To give the last interesting story to his professor. It was not professor Jill. 

She was too busy going on nice walks with Jamie. And Zita and me too.

Emmet got a new book from his nice university. All about cutting off people's heads. In way far away. Oh dear. That is not a nice book. Oh dear. 

He should only get nice books. All about the way old Gods. Or the Punic elephants. With lots of pictures for me to see. 

My friend Craig was talking about Uncle Bill last night. Because he went all the way to heaven at nearly this time. 

When his noisy motorcycle crashed all up. Just When all the beautiful flowers were growing in our garden. 

I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. When everybody is all fast asleep. 

He can hear me better when everybody is all fast asleep. Expect me. 

Because Heaven is way way far away. And you can not even use the telephone. Oh well. 

Dogs can not use telephones. Too bad for us.

I will ask Mister Saint Newton to find Uncle Bill for me. 

He is hard to find. Because he is driving his flying motorcycle all over. Showing my friend Zorro all the interesting places. It is known. 

Uncle Bill can watch out for us. Even from so far far away Heaven. He is a good guarder just like me. 

My family miss him. I want to tell him we miss him. And to say hello to my friend Zorro. 

Zorro can run as fast as can be now. His legs are not so sore in Heaven. 

I do not think the giant turkeys miss Uncle Bill. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Zita and I went for my favourite walk. To the busy street. We visited the tasty treats for nice dogs bank. Ha. That is a good walk. 

We got the gold big car all home. In our own driveway. That is right. It is known. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Six

I had a nice day. It was not so quiet.

Mister Peter was here. With his noisy machines. 

Zita and I went for a long walk. She did not have to drive my friend Niamh to her way too early dance a lot practice. 

We went on a nice walk instead. 

Miss Julia had the little white car today. She and Niamh drove away in it. To the dance a lot school. Ha. 

It was a very sunny blue day. Not even one cloud. Oh well. 

We had used bagel toasts. We did not have any nice bread for breakfast toasts. Oh dear.

Then Mister Peter came to our house. To make lots of holes for for new lights. It is way noisy when you make holes. It is known.

After lunch Craig went to the cut your hair until you are neat and tidy store. We had croissants our lunch. 

Craig does not go to a make him beautiful store. Just Zita and Niamh and Emmet and me go to make us beauty stores. 

Craig is too old to be beautiful. He can only be neat and tidy. Too bad for him.

Last night we watched the old detectives again. Just Craig and Zita and Emmet and me. 

Niamh had to go fast asleep right after dinner. 

Because she did not sleep so much because of Georgie's sing happy birthday day.

Zita had to go to a party with her friend Kathy.

And Zita took the gold big car to Mister Mike. So Doctor Susan could drive her back to our house. 

She could not go to see Mister Mike yesterday. Because of the rain. 

Miss Rowan had dinner at our house last night. So she had to sleep here too.

Everybody stayed at our dining room table for ever. Even when diner was all over. They laughed and laughed. Ha. 

People like to laugh. That is good. Niamh has a way loud laugh. Ha. 

I had a nice nap under the table.

Then Craig had to have an all squeaky clean bath. And Niamh too. So they would not be all smelly. Too bad for them.

Niamh got a job for the beautiful summer. At the giant building that used to be a church. 

The building that has the giant raccoons out side. All made of stone. 

They are not scary. They do not smell like raccoons. They are not real raccoons. That is good. 

She is going to be a teacher again. 

Niamh is going to show everybody how to be a beautiful dancer. Just like her. 

And she is going to teach people how to to be all upside down and not fall over. Ha.

We are all happy. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Four

We got up way early today. I do not know why. 

Craig did not get up early. He had a sleep in. 

Zita and I had a nice long walk. It was not so hot today. Just the sky full of flat clouds. Not nice sheep clouds today. Oh well. 

Then Zita drove Niamh to dance a lot school. For her too early practice. 

I stayed in the bedroom with Craig. To guard him. Because the noisy make the streets clean machines came back. 

I do not like them. They are too noisy. I bark at them. So they will go away. Then I get in trouble. Too bad for me.

They do not go away. They are not scared of me. That is not right. 

The man came who fixes the noisy hole in the scary basement floor came to our house this morning. 

He had a noisy machine too. Oh dear. I did not bark at all. Good for me.

Then Niamh and Georgie came back to our house in a giant car. 

It is Miss Jordan's giant car. It is very shiny. And big. With very fat tires. 

They had to get all of Georgie's money. She forgot it here. When she had the sleep all over.

Then they went all back to school. Maybe. In the giant car. Ha. 

Zita had to go downtown to the way too small office. Because of rascal ladies work. 

Then she took the gold big car to Mister Mikes fix your car all up store. For just a litte fix. It is a bit too noisy. 

Mister Mike will do just a little fix. Because he knows the gold car. For a long time. Ha. That is good. 

It was a fix noisy things day. 

We had to fill the gold big car with boxes and boxes and boxes. For the rascal ladies office. It took a long time. I was a big help.

Dogs like being a big help. Me too.

It was a way beautiful day. It was nearly a hot day. That is good.

Niamh and Miss Georgie did not get home until late again. Oh dear. 

Miss Georgie slept here again. Because it was her important sing happy birthday day. 

That is why all her friends had to go and drink beer with her. And eat way tasty pizza at the smallest pizza store in the world.

She had to get up very early this morning. Because she had to teach dance a lot to little girls. Ha. Too bad for her. 

My friend Niamh went all back to sleep

Zita and I went for a very long walk. And talked to everybody. Everybody was outside today. Because it is all nice and sunny. And not even a little bit cold. Ha.

Craig read my friend Emmet's story. To make it all beautiful. 

Craig thought it was a good story. Emmet did not like it. There are no very old Gods in the story. Or interesting animals. Or even any castles. With scary ghosts. Oh well. 

It was not all about way long ago. Oh well. Too bad for him. 

Niamh was way tired today. Ha. Too bad for her. Too many sing happy birthday parties. It is known.

Craig and Zita went for a long walk after our tasty lunch. 

We had giant croissants. And lots of cheese. Good for us.

I had to wait and wait and wait for Craig to put the cheeseie treats on my breakfast. Oh dear. 

We had little toasts first. I did not nearly starve to death. That is good.

Then we played catch the ball a lot. That is good.

Niamh found the outside swing back and forth bed. It was in the basement. She brought it up to our side yard. Because it is all sunny and warm outside. 

Niamh and I stayed outside when Craig and Zita went for a nice walk. All by themselves. Oh well. They had ice cream. I did not go. 

I had to stay with my friend Niamh. In case she fell all out of the swingy bed. Good for me. 

Zita had to look at Emmet's story too. To make sure Craig made it beautiful. 

Zita is glad she is all finished at her nice universities. You have to work hard at universities. 

That is way you have to eat lots of Mister Horton's tasty donuts. Working hard makes you hungry. It is known. 

Maybe we will watch television tonight. In the den. Maybe I will have a nice nap on the comfy rug. Ha. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Two

I had a nice day.

Zita and I tried to take Craig to his old friends breakfast. 

But we forgot to put on my brand new keep my foot all clean boot. We had to go home. With out him. 

He did not get all lost. Without me. That is good.

Niamh got her go as fast as the wind bicycle out. 

It was in the scary basement. Her just a bit fast bicycle has to get all full of air tires. 

Niamh and Miss Julia went all the way downtown on their bicycles. Because was a way beautiful day outside. All the snow is all gone. Almost.

And we have beautiful flowers in our beside the house garden. Already. That is good. 

We left the back door open and I could go out just because. Ha. Good for me.

Emmet was way busy writing his last story. He does not like it so much he said. 

It is not so interesting as his other stories about way old people. Or the Punics. Oh well.

Miss Georgie slept here last night. Because she and Niamh were at a party until way too late. Ha. 

This morning we went to Niamh's bedroom and sang the happy birthday song just for her. Ha. 

That was fun. She was nearly still all fast asleep. 

This afternoon Craig and Zita went everywhere to look for a nearly all new car. For us. 

I stayed here to guard everything. 

Then Niamh and I went for a nice long walk. Our friend Lee came too. To keep us company. 

The nearly new car will be big enough for me too. Zita said so. 

Not like the silver little car. I am too big for it. Oh dear. It is only big enough for Craig and the go fast chair. And a friend. But not me. Oh well. 

Tonight we will watch detectives catch the nasty people. That is good. 

Everybody will drink tea. Except Craig. He only drinks lemonade. When we watch the television. At nighttime. I do not know why. Oh well.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy One

I got a be all better letter. From my friends Miss Gracie and Mister Elliot. Just for me. Ha.

They live in way far away. The other way far away. Not way far away Ireland. Where all the cousins live. The way far away with the giant mountains.

Miss Gracie and Mister Elliot read my little stories. On their computer. That is nice.

They knew that I had an operation. In my nice hospital. Because I had a sore toe. Now that sore toe is all gone. Oh well. 

Their family wrote a poem. Just for me. Ha. That is good. 

Just like Lilly's poems. 

To tell me to get all better for ever. And not to lick my operation. So I can scare all the awful squirrels away. 

I never had a nice letter before. The mailman brought it just for me. I did not even bark at him. Good for me.

It is good to have friends who send you be all better letters. That is what friends do. It is known. 

I got a brand new nearly a collar. Not a choke me to death collar. This is I could pull the go fast chair kind of collar. 

Zita and I got it on the busy street. On our nice long walk. 

The nice mailman came back to my house again. With a very big box. For Zita. It was full of brand new rascal ladies tshirts. 

We got lots of presents today. That is good. 

Craig drove Emmet to an important meeting at the too expensive coffee store this afternoon. Then Emmet walked all the way home. Because it is a way nice day outside.

It is nearly Miss Georgie's important sing happy birthday day. 

Niamh and all the dance a lot friends are going to go out. Together. For a party. All dressed up. 

With their make them tall shoes. And coloured eyes. And not enough enough clothes. Oh well.

Last night we watched the nice churchman on the television. He helps his friend the policeman catch nasty people. 

The policeman does not have a nice dog to help him. Only the churchman. Oh well. 

I went all the way down the scary stairs to the basement last night. 

To visit my friend Emmet's cosy bedroom. And my friend Emmet. He was reading a very interesting book. 

He has lots of big books. All over everywhere. Some of them are Craig's. Ha. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy

Niamh nearly forgot to be all awake this morning. Ha. Zita had to get her all awake. 

Miss Julia drove her to school the little white car. Niamh was still asleep. I could tell. Ha. Too bad for her. 

Craig and Zita and I had the fat toasts today. When Zita and I came back from our nice long walk. It is nice to go on long walks again. That is good. 

It is not so cold today. I could see the brand new flowers starting in our beautiful garden. That is good. 

Soon it will be all warm and we will have brand new all green trees. And lots of beautiful flowers. And tasty green beans in our garden. 

Then we will sit on our beautiful patio and have our toasts outside. And watch everybody. And drink lemonade. With ice cubes. Ha. Good for us. 

Last night there was an dangerous animal in my yard. I heard it. I jumped right off the bed. I was very fast.

I did not even bark. If you bark the dangerous animals know you are coming to catch them. And then they run all away. Ha.

Zita could not see them. I could smell them. In my side yard. Ha. Good for me.

Zita believed me. But she would not let me out to catch them. Oh dear. 

She said maybe it was a way smelly skunk. Maybe. 

You have to stay out side if you catch a smelly skunk. For a long time. And not sleep on your own comfy bed. Oh dear. 

I would not like that so much. 

I did not sleep on the comfy bed last night. I only slept right in the middle of my doorway. 

So I could guard everybody. All night. Ha. It is my job. 

No dangerous animals got in my house. That is good. 

I am a way good guarder. Everybody told me. It is true. Ha. 

Last night my friend Emmet cut his finger all open. With blood. Oh dear. 

He was opening his chocolate cake box. Ha. Too bad for him.

He had to put a bandage on it. That is silly. He cut his finger on a chocolate cake. Oh well.

Mister Peter came to our house today. He is going to put brand new lights in our way too dark hall. That is nice. 

He put a new blind in Niamh's room. So she can have even bigger sleepins. Ha. 

Zita and I had a nice very very long before dinner. Good for us. 

We watched the way old lady detective last night. On the television. I had a nice long nap too. Then we went to bed. 

Zita is going out for some tasty desserts tonight. With her friend from Mister Saint Paul's nice university. I will guard Craig. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Nine

We are having a nice quiet day. 

My friends the ducks all came home from their vacation. That is good.

They are in the other pond. That pond has just a little bit of water. 

My pond is all still empty. It is still all full of rocks. The ducks do not like empty ponds. Or rocks. 

After our toasts Craig went to have a nice lunch with his old friends. Friends from before he was all nearly retired. That is nice.

Zita and I went for a nice walk. That is when we saw my friends the ducks. Ha.

It is not so cold today. I still have to have my special new boot on. When we go for our nice walks. So my foot will not get all dirty. 

After an operation you can not be all dirty. It is known. 

Niamh did not have a very good day yesterday. Oh dear. She went and bought cheeseies just for herself. Oh dear.

Miss Julia came home with her. 

It is good to have friends when you have a bad day. Or get into trouble. When you pull your bandages off. It is known. 

Maybe today will be better. Maybe.

Emmet has more stories to write. Just two stories. All about the way old people. The ones who lived beside the way far away ocean. Then he will be all finished.

That nice professor asked Emmet to help him with a important speech to lots and lots of people. People we do not know. Or dear. 

I got in a bit of trouble this afternoon. I was licking my operation. 

You can not lick your operation. Or it will not get all better. Craig told me. 

So I had to keep Craig company all afternoon in the den. I had a nice little nap. 

It is hard work getting all better for ever. Emmet told me. It is true. Oh well. Too bad for us.

Zita left the gold big car at the fix noisy cars store. On our busy street. When she came home from the way too small office. 

They have to find lots of young ladies to sit in all the very old chairs. In our government's very big full of old chairs room. For next year.  

The young rascal ladies will be from all over. They will not have their very own dogs to guard them. When they are away. Oh dear. 

Maybe I will have to guard them. All by myself. Maybe.

Good guarding dogs get lots of treats. Sometimes even cheese treats.  Ha. It is known. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Eight

I had a very long walk last night. With my friend Zita. Before our dinner. Good for us.

She got me brand new boots. Just for me boots. All black books. Ha. That was nice.

We put the brand new boot on my foot. The foot that does not have any bandages on any more. Ha. That is good.

Now I can go for long walks again. With my brand new boot to keep my foot all safe. Good for me. Ha. 

I was very happy. After my very long walk. That is good. Zita was too. Good for us. 

Auntie Eileen went for a giant ride on her bicycle. All over to the other side of way far away Ireland. With all her bicycle friends.

She is still at her nice university because she has her remember everything exams too. Oh dear. 

Zita can not drive the gold big car so much today. It is too noisy. It will have to go to and be made all quiet again. 

We are going to get a different car for Zita. Oh dear. The gold big car is my favourite. 

Craig's silver little car is too small for nice big dogs. Just like me. 

Zita drove Emmet to his remember everything exam in the silver little car.

I stayed with Craig. We played catch the ball. A lot. That is good.

When Zita came home we had fat toasts. 

Then I helped Zita with the chairs for all the rascal ladies. On the comfy big bed. 

They have to find chairs for lots and lots of little rascal ladies. I do not know why. 

They are all going to come to my nice city and take a lot of old chairs. That is silly. Oh well. 

Zita went to the famous just for pizzas restaurant. For a rascal ladies lunch. The restaurant has new chairs. Ha. Too bad for them.

Craig brought Emmet home after his remember everything exam. 

Now he has to write one more not so big story and he is all finished. Ha. That is good.

Then he has to start again. In a little while. 

That is what you do at university. New starts all the time. And eat donuts. Ha. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Seven.

When Zita and I got up this morning there was even more too much snow. Everywhere. Again. That is not right.

We had toasts and coffees. And looked out the watching window. At the too much snow. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

Then Zita and I had to go to see my nice Doctor. 

Craig drove the gold big car for us. We had to go so they could look at my not so sore anymore foot. 

My nice Doctor took the bandages all away. That is good. 

He said I was a very brave dog. That is true.

Zita did not tell him all about the being in big trouble time. That is good.

No more fat bandages on my foot any more. I can not lick it. Or I will get get in big trouble. Again. Oh dear.

Then we came home. We had even more toasts. 

Zita drove Niamh to her dance a lot school. 

Emmet is all finished his studying for his remember everything exam tomorrow. He said his head is all full up as can be. 

He went on a little walk to see nice Mister Kettleman's store. To get a tasty bagel sandwich. For his lunch. 

Zita had to talk to all the rascal ladies this afternoon. I was a big help. I just had a nice nap on the comfy bed.

Zita has to go to the important meeting tonight. For our nice newspaper. It is her last important meeting. 

The nice men will have to take all the newspapers to another house. In their big noisy truck. Not mine. 

Because Zita is way too busy with all the rascal ladies. It is known.

We watched a new all about far away detectives last night. We could not understand them at all. 

They put all their words on the television. I could not read them. 

Dogs can not read. That is why we do not go to the nice universities. And eat tasty donuts in the big comfy chairs. Oh well too bad for them. 

Everybody would like nice dogs at their universities. It is known.

I got new treats. Little toasts. Craig told me they were Miss Melba's toasts. 

She makes very good treats. It is known. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Six

We had a sleep in today. That is good. Because it is a sleep in Sunday.

Last night I got two dinners. Ha. Because Craig forgot. Ha. Good for me.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and I watched the nice detectives last night. I had a comfy nap.

Zita and Emmet gave me another brand new bandages this morning. Because the old one was coming off. Oh well. 

Zita said that Emmet made a better bandage. Ha.

Then we made our lunch. We made not real pancakes. 

Just the pretend pancakes. That all the French people make. 

They are not pancakes they are just way too soggy toasts. Oh dear.  

We did not even have any tasty cheese. Oh well.

Then we went for a little nice walk. 

Everybody is working today. So I have to guard the whole house all by myself.

Emmet is still studying and Niamh is writing a new story. 

Zita is helping the rascal ladies again. 

And Craig is looking for interesting stories for our nice queen. 

Craig and I looked out the window a lot this afternoon. 

When Zita had to go to the not so expensive breakfast store. To get things for Mister Peter. For my friend Niamh's bedroom. 

Craig and I had the special long hot cheeseies. Together. Because we are friends. 

I am not in so much trouble today. That is good. 

It is not nice to be in trouble I think. 

Friends do not care so much if you are in trouble. Because they are your friends. It is known. 

Zita and I went for a little walk. Before our dinner.

Zita drove Niamh and Cara downtown to see her dance a lot friends dance. In a contest. 

I do not like contests so much. Because not everybody can win contests. 

A long time ago when I went to school they had contests. 

Sometimes I did not win. I do not think that is nice. 

Sometimes other nice dogs did not win either. That is not right. 

I do not like contests. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Five

Zita's train did not get lost and brought her home last night. That is good.

But Craig told her about the bandages. Even when she was on the train. When she got home she knew that I was in big trouble. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Craig had a very loud voice last night. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Craig never has a loud voice. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Zita looked at my brand new bandages. She said I did not have to go back to my nice hospital. 

Craig and Emmet made very good new bandages for me. That is good.

Zita said we would not talk about the big trouble anymore. That is good too. 

I do not like it when I am in trouble. It is known. 

Then we went all fast asleep. That is good. You are not in trouble when you are all fast asleep. Ha.

Zita and I went for a nice walk this morning. I still have to have the special boot on my foot. Because of the bandages. Oh well. Too bad for me.

I did not want to come in. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

After lunch time Zita and Niamh went up to the very busy street in the gold big car. To give all the nice stores their own newspapers. For their friends. 

It takes a long time to give everybody our nice newspapers. 

Craig had a sleep in and did not go to his old friends breakfast today. Maybe using your loud voice makes you way tired. Maybe. 

Because he did not go to his old friends breakfast Mister Tom came to our house after lunch. 

To give us brand new all the way from England stories. To watch at night. On the television. That is nice.

He helped Niamh put our newspapers in the car. That was nice too. 

Emmet is studying for his remember everything exam. The one all about animals. Not about any elephants. Oh well. 

I know he is studying because he has made lots and lots of Irish tea. And he had his big cosy blanket all wrapped over him. 

You get way cold studying. 

I have to stay with Craig. Because maybe I might forget not to pull my new bandages off. Maybe. 

Then I would be in big trouble again. Oh dear. I would not like that so much. 

We had croissants for our tasty lunch. And I got a brand new catching ball. It is blue. Ha. Good for me. 

Niamh's friend Vera is coming tonight. I do not know why. Maybe for tasty bagels. They are going to Mister Kettleman's tasty bagel store. 

That is where all of Niamh's friends live. Eating bagels. Ha.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Four

I had a nice quiet day.

My friend Zita did not sleep in her comfy bed last night. She had to sleep all by herself in a big hotel. In not so far away Toronto. Oh dear. 

I had to guard everybody in my house. And Miss Rowan too. She had to sleep here. Because her house is too far away. 

And I had to keep Craig all safe. It is my job. He will just fall right out of bed. Onto the floor. 

Because Zita is not there. In the way. So I sleep way up at the top of the bed. So he will not fall out. Ha. Good for me. 

We had own made pizzas last night. 

Then Craig and I watched the hockey game. On the television. Craig's team won. I had a nice nap. 

Craig and I had before bedtime toasts. With peanut butter. Ha. That is good.

Niamh and Miss Rowan and Miss Lily went on the smelly bus today. Oh well. 

Craig and I had fat crunchy toasts for breakfast. Then I had my other breakfast with cheesy treats on top. Ha. Good for me.

Then Craig read a lot and I had a nice nap. On the comfy rug in the living room. That is good. 

We did not look out my watching window so much this morning. Because of more too much snow. That is not right. 

Craig and all his Viking friends caught the nasty Viking. And chopped his head all off. Ha. Too bad for him. 

Now Craig is the nice policeman from France. Again. He is the policeman with the brand new dog. To help him catch the dangerous people. Ha. That is a good book. 

The policeman likes lots and lots of cheese. His friends make lots of tasty cheese for everybody. That is good. 

We had croissants for our lunch. Craig had Mister Nicastro's tasty all the way from Italy sausages too. I can not eat them. Because I would have a sick tummy. Too bad for me. 

In the afternoon Craig and I watched out my watching window. Because the silly snow was not falling down anymore. That is good. 

Craig and Emmet and Niamh are going to make their own dinner tonight. Because my friend Zita will be on the train. And not here. Oh dear.

Craig and Emmet had to put new ones on. And I have to go to my nice hospital. Again. When Zita comes home. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Three

I had another very busy day.

I had to get up way early to go to my nice hospital. My nice Doctor gave me brand new bandages. 

That was nice. 

When we got home Craig drove Niamh to dance a lot school. Niamh was not so all wide awake. Oh well. 

When he got back we had toasts in the den. 

I had to wait a long time for toasts today. Oh well.

My friend Niamh has to make a big speech. When her dance a lot school is all over. 

She has go on on the giant stage and talk to everybody. Even people we do not know. Oh dear.

After our toasts my friend Zita had to go to not so far away Toronto. 

For lots and lots of meetings. And even tasty dinners. With all the rascal ladies. 

Nobody told me. I saw the going away bag. Then I knew. Oh dear. 

I do not like it when people go away. At all. It is known.

Maybe they will get all lost and know how to come back home. Oh dear. Oh dear.

She had to go on the train. Not on the dangerous just fall over and crash trains. The train with the very fat chairs. And the tasty food. 

She has to stay in a very nice hotel. With lots of pillows. And a giant television. 

I can not go to Toronto on the train. It is a not for dogs train. That is not vey nice. 

I do not know if I am all in charge again. Zita did not tell me. She was in a big hurry. Oh dear. 

Who is in charge. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Maybe it is Craig. Maybe. He works for the nice Queen. Maybe the nice Queen is in charge. Ha. 

Our friend Kathy drove Emmet to his nice university. In the way fast red car. Craig could not drive him today. 

He had to stay here. Because of all the newspapers. And because sometimes when nobody is here I chew off my brand new bandages. Then I get in big trouble. Oh dear. 

Today all of Emmet's nice university is over. Except for the all the remember everything exams. Oh well. 

Then he has to start again. With brand new interesting stories. Even in the nice summer time. 

Emmet likes going to his nice university. And reading his very interesting books. And writing his own stories. And buying his hot chocolates and donuts. And talking to his friends.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Two

We had a very busy day.

Zita drove Niamh and Miss Julia to practice dance a lot early in the morning.

Craig had coffee. He did not have any toasts. Too bad for me.

When Zita came home we had even more coffees and some tasty toasts. 

We used the special fat just for toasts bread. From the make tasty bread and cookies store. That is good. 

Craig took Emmet to his nice university this morning. 

His all about animals professor sent Emmet's very big story to be in a contest. 

Maybe he will win. 

Maybe he will win an elephant. Ha. That would be good. They could squish all the awful squirrels. Ha.

Elephants are very big. Ha. 

Niamh was dancing last night. In the living room. 

She had to make a dance a lot movie. For her homework. With very loud music. 

Niamh needs lots of room. So she had to move all our chairs. 

I could not help. Oh well.

We had snow today. That is not right. The too much snow time is all over. Too bad for us. 

Ollie likes the too much snow. He is very furry. He likes to sleep on the snow. That is silly. 

I like to sleep on my comfy bed. With my duvet. Ha. 

The nice men brought our newspapers to our house today. In the afternoon. 

I barked a bit. I forgot they were coming to visit. Oh well. 

The nice men did not like the too much snow either. We had to put blankets on the newspapers. So they would not be all soggy. 

Zita was not here. To talk to the nice men. She was at another very important rascal meeting. Only Craig was here. I had to help Craig. 

I know where all our nice newspapers go. They go in my side yard. Ha. I was a big help.

Emmet was having a tasty lunch with professor Jill. To talk about other nice universities. 

I had to stay here with Craig. Because of the newspapers. Oh well. 

We watched a sad detective last night. Sometimes he can not remember things so well. Oh dear. 

I had a nice nap so I was not so sad. Then we went all fast asleep. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty One

I did not get into big trouble yesterday. Not even little trouble. Good for me.

I had to wear the do not get into trouble sock again. Oh well.

I helped Zita move the cars a lot today. That is good. I was a big help. Three times. Good for me.

It is our way early day. Craig was up even before Zita and even me. He drove Niamh to her very early dance a lot practice. 

Then he drove Emmet to his all day at his nice university day.

When Craig was away in the silver little car Zita and I had toasts. When we were all awake. Ha.

When Craig came back to our house we had toasts again. Ha. Two toasts. Good for me. 

When we were all finished Zita had a rascal meeting downtown. When she came home she brought  my friend Emmet too. Ha. 

Then they made some Irish tea. I just had a nice nap on my comfy bed. In the kitchen.

This afternoon Zita had to go downtown to another important meeting. At a nice give you lots of biscuits and tea restaurant. 

It is a secret restaurant. You can only go in if somebody asks you. Ha. It is way up on top of a giant building. 

I guarded Craig. So he would not get into trouble. It is not very nice to get in trouble. It is known. 

In Craig's book he found the daughter in long long time ago way far away Ireland. On an island. 

I was right. She did not have a big fierce furry dog to guard her. That is why her father had to rescue her. Too bad for her. 

Now he is going to chop off a nasty Viking's head. With his own famous sword. And all his fierce friends. 

They have lots of row row row your boats. With pictures of scary wolves on them. Oh dear. 

Wolves are very scary. In the winter they hide behind the too much snow hills. 

So they can jump out and catch you. They go all away when there is no more too much snow. That is good.

Emmet had to go to the nice bank. To get some real money. 

Because he is going to take Professor Jill out to lunch tomorrow. Jamie and I are not going. 

It is a not for nice dogs restaurant. Oh well. That is not right. 

Jamie and I would be very polite and just wait for our treats. Under the table. It is known. 

Maybe they will have cheese sandwiches. Maybe.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty

Last night Zita made me a fat sock. For my sore foot. It is very thick. Too thick to chew. 

So I can not chew my new bandages. It is my brand new do not get into big trouble sock.

I am not so sad today. I did not chew my bandages last night. 

I do not know why I chew my bandages. I always just get in big trouble. Too bad for me.

Emmet did not go to his nice university today. His professor got caught by a flu. And could not go to teach everybody today. Oh dear. 

You do not have bandages when the flu catches you. That is good. Only if you have an operation. Just like Emmet.

I had an operation too. My nice doctor had to take away one of my toes. Because it was all too sore inside. 

That is why I have the bandages. And get in the trouble. Oh dear. 

Craig and Zita were way busy today. The dining room was all filled up with lots and lots of way too many pieces of paper. They were everywhere. 

That is what happens when you are busy.

Craig and I had toasty ham sandwiches for our lunch. That is good. 

Then I got a big cheese treat from my friend Emmet. For his lunchtime. Because he is home at our house today. All day. 

Before our lunch I had a nice nap in the den. The bandages make me a little sleepy. Oh well.

Craig is writing lots of interesting words today. Maybe for our nice Queen. 

And Craig is fighting the Vikings again. But in way far away Ireland. A long long time ago. 

He has to find his little girl. I do not know why. 

Maybe she got all lost. She does not have a nice big dog to guard her. Oh dear. 

Everybody should have a nice big furry dog. Just like me. Ha. 

Sometimes nice, big, furry dogs get into trouble. It is known. Oh well. 

The other lady Zita works with at the way too small office came to my house. 

Then they went up to our busy street and had a too much coffee meeting. Ha. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty Nine

I got into big trouble today. 

I chewed my bandages and I had to go back to my hospital. 

So the nice ladies could give band new bandages. Not all chewed up and soggy bandages. Oh dear. 

Craig and Zita were no so happy. Oh dear. I do not like to be in the big trouble. 

I had a very little walk this morning. Before I got in trouble. 

We had visitors this afternoon. Because we are going to have a very big party. In my house. 

Because doctor Susan's daughter is getting married. In the summer. And has to have a big party. With all her old friends. 

She is Zita's Goddaughter. She does not live here anymore. She lives in not so far away Toronto. 

So the people came to our house to eat cookies and talk all about the party. Even Susan and Lilly. 

We did not talk about me being in trouble. That is good. I just had a nap.

Nobody like being in big trouble. When it is their own fault. 

Then you feel all sad. Inside. Or dear. 

That is me today. Oh dear. 

All sad inside. Because of the big trouble. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty Eight

I could not sleep with the awful thing on my head. I just got too upset. And scared. 

Zita took it off. Good for me.

Craig and Zita kept me company. Last night. So I would not lick all the bandages off. Oh dear. 

I was a little bit scared. Last night. That is not right. It is not nice when you are scared. Friends stay with you when you are a little bit scared. 

That is why Zita and Craig stayed all awake. So I was not all too scared. 

I just slept on the big table. At the end of the big bed. Where it is not too hot. Until the morning time.

This morning Craig went to his old friends breakfast. Because it is Saturday. I could not go. Because of the bandages. Oh dear. 

When Craig was all gone I had toasts with Zita. Then I had a long nap. 

We did not go for a nice walk today. 

I can not go on my nice walks until my foot is all better. With no bandages. Oh dear.

I had to go back to my hospital today. So the nice nurse could give me brand new bandages. 

I did not have to stay there today. That is good. 

My new bandages are yellow.

My old bandages were pink. Oh well. I do not like bandages so much. 

She is a nice nurse. She is not scary. That is good. 

I have to go back later. Not right away. So my nice doctor can look at my foot. Again.

We watched the detective who has his own church last night. It is a very old church. 

I did not see it. I had a nice long nap. In the den. With Craig and Zita and Emmet. That is good. 

I have to take medicine so my foot is not too sore. It makes me a bit sleepy. Oh well. 

Ollie is chasing all the nasty squirrels away for me. Because of my sore foot. That is nice. 

Ollie is very fierce. That is good. We hate squirrels. Ha. 

Ollie likes to sleep in the middle of the driveway. With all the cars. Behind the silver little car. 

I do not know why. Oh well. 

Maybe we will watch another detective on the television tonight. Maybe I will just have nice nap.
