Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Seven

We had a very busy day.

Zita and I had a very early nice walk.

Then Zita had to take Niamh to the giant stage to get her important piece of paper.

Then in a little while Craig and Emmet went too. To the same giant stage.

I guarded the house. For a long time. I got treats. 

It takes a long time for everybody to get their pieces of important paper.

They had very loud Scotsman's bagpipes. Oh dear. Too bad for them. Ha.

Craig and Zita and Emmet saw all the dance a lot friends. They got their pieces of paper too. 

Even Miss Rowan and Miss Rima and Miss Rachel. All of them.

Zita took lots of pictures. That is good.

Then all the dance a lot friends went for another tasty lunch. 

Emmet gave Niamh some real money. But not forever money. Just for a little while money. Ha.

When Craig and Zita and Emmet came home. They told me all about it. 

Emmet said it was way too long. Oh well.

Zita got special very tasty bread from nice Mister Nicasto's store. His other store. 

Not the one on my busy street. 

And even lots of tasty food on pointy sticks. Just for the outside cooking stove. But she did not buy any more tasty cheese. Oh well too bad for me. 

And wine that bubbles up your nose. Oh dear. I would not like that.  

Because we are having a just for our friends party. For my friend Niamh. Because she is all finished her dance a lot school.

Lee and Cara and Lilly will be here too. And Mister Bill and Mrs Ginny. All our just around here friends.

Mrs. Bruna and Doctor Susan came to my house this morning. When I was here guarding the house. All by myself.

They brought party balloons. For Niamh's party. That was nice. 

And they brought lots of tasty vegetable salads too. For the party. That is good.

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Six

Craig and I had a little sleep in this morning. 

Because Zita was still in not too far away Toronto. In the nice hotel. Oh well. Without me. 

Craig and I had toasts. Even without Zita. And more too much coffees.

When Niamh came home last night she was just all soggy. All of her. Because of the lots of rain. 

She was on the go fast bicycle. But the rain caught her. Too bad for her.

We got her all wide awake. So she could go to her work. And not be late. Ha. Good for us.

My street was full up with cars this morning. Because nice Mister President Obama came to visit. 

They closed the roads so he would not be all lost. And be late for his tasty lunch. 

So all the cars went on our street instead. Oh dear.  They were all right on my own corner. 

Some of the people were very silly. They just wanted to go backwards down the street. Ha. 

Too bad for them. 

All the other cars were not even a bit happy. Some people even yelled. Oh dear. 

I barked at them. But they did not care. Oh well.

And there were lots of very noisy helicopters. Just being too noisy. I barked at them too. 

They did not care. They can not hear me. Because they are too noisy. It is known. 

At lunch time Zita told us she was on the not way too dangerous train. Just the little bit dangerous train. Oh dear. 

She is coming all the way home to our house. So we can all have our tasty dinner together. That is good. 

Maybe we will have tasty pizza. Maybe. I like pizza bits. 

Niamh and I went for a nice long walk. It was a nice day. I was not hot at all.

Tomorrow Craig and Zita and Emmet have to go to watch my friend Niamh get her important piece of thank you paper. It says her dance a lot school is all done. 

She will be up on a very big stage. With all the other dance a lot ladies. 

Craig and Zita and Emmet will clap when my friend Niamh gets her piece of paper. Good for her. 

I have pieces of paper too. Craig showed them to me. With my very very too long name. 

That is why I am just Miss Poppy Taylor. So everybody can remember me. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Five

Zita and I got up early this morning. For our nice walk. 

And Niamh had to get up early too. To go to see her nice dentist. Ha.

Then she had to go to help for her all summer job. 

After we had our fat toasts Zita had to go on the train. To far away Toronto. Oh dear. 

I do not like trains so much. Some trains just fall over and crash. Oh dear. 

Not all the time. Just sometimes. 

Sometimes is too many times. It is known.

She has to sleep in a nice hotel tonight. Not in her comfy bed. 

She will not have her own soft pillows. Or her own cosy duvet. Or even my friend Craig. Oh dear. 

And I can not guard her all safe when she is not here. That is not right. Oh dear. 

When Zita is not here I am always in charge. She told me. 

But Craig and Emmet and Niamh are not very good listeners. 

They do not just go to bed at the nice time. I have to stay up and guard them. Oh well. Too bad for me.

Zita had to go to an important party. For a magazine for ladies. The party is all about the rascal ladies.

That is why Zita can not sleep in her own comfy bed tonight. 

Emmet went to the make him neat and tidy store. So he will be all neat and tidy for the wedding. 

I went for a nice walk last night. With my friend Jamie. 

Zita and Craig and professor Jill came with us too. After our dinner. When it was not so hot. 

We just went on the little streets. Cars do not like the little streets so much. That is good. 

So they will not just run over Craig. And squish him. That is good. 

Then Zita and Craig and I went to the drink your coffees outside restaurant. 

They sat on the very big rocks. I guarded them. Ha. Good for me. 

Jamie did not come with us. She was too hot. Oh well. Jamie has lots more fur than I do. Oh well. 

Tonight my friend Emmet made the tasty dinner. Pasta for everybody. 

Even Miss Rima. She came for Emmet's tasty pasta too. Pasta is Emmet's favourite. And Irish chicken. And bagel sandwiches. Ha.

Because I am all in charge I have to check all my house lots of times. To make sure everybody is all safe. It is my job. It is known.

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Four

I had a very quiet day. That is good.

It is another way hot day. After our nice walk I had an all outside shower. So I was not a too hot dog.

That is good. 

Then we had crunchy toasts. Good for us.

Zita had lots of rascal ladies meetings today. She went right after our toasts.

And Niamh and Zoe had to go to another practice for working day. All day. Ha. 

They were at the very big just for our neighbourhood building. 

It is where Niamh can teach all the little children dance a lot. All summer. 

I stayed here in the nice not hot at all house. So I could guard Craig and Emmet. 

Emmet was still all fast asleep. Again. Ha. He did not have to go to his nice university this week.

And Craig had to read more just for government stories. They were not very interesting. Oh well.

Then he watched the too scary wolves and dragons program. 

I just had a nice nap. On my comfy bed. In the kitchen. I was not scared. Good for me. 

Craig and I had Scotsman's scones for our lunch. And more too much coffees. That was good. 

Emmet was still all fast asleep. Ha. 

Emmet got a brand new book. It is not a reading book. It is a listening book. It is in his telephone. That is silly.

He told me it was a way way good book. That is nice. 

But he can not read the nice parts to me if it is a listen to only book. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Emmet only went for a little walk. Because it is a still too hot day. 

I got a tasty green bean treat. From the nice farmers. Craig gave it to me. 

Because I am a way good catch the ball dog. 

Last night my friend Jamie came for a long visit. And professor Jill too. That was nice.

Then Jamie and I went for a long walk. With Zita and professor Jill too. 

It was way after dinner. When it was not so much too hot. That is good. 

My friend Jamie is very furry. He does not like the too much hot at all. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Three

We did not have a sleep in today. Oh well.

Zita could not have a nice sleep in. 

She had to have her too much coffee and wait for my friend Niamh to come home. 

Then Craig was all fast awake and we had two toasts. Fat crunchy toasts. Ha. Good for me. 

Craig watched the football game last night. His team won. Ha.

After our toasts Zita and I went for a nice walk. It is a way hot day again. We went to see all the nice farmers. Up on our busy street. 

We brought brand new Scotsman's scones. For our breakfast. And even peas. Ha. Good for us.

I was a way hot dog when we got home. I do not like the way too hot so much. 

Zita put little pieces of ice in my cool water dish. But I got a sick tummy. Oh dear. 

I like ice treats. But my tummy does not. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Then my comfy bed had to go in the make the clothes spic and span machine. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

And then my friend Niamh came home. All safe. From the special dance party. 

She came home early. Because she missed me. Ha. Good for me. And she hurt her bottom. 

Because the were way too many dance a lot friends in the beds. At the hotel. And she fell right out on her bottom. Ha. Now she has a sore bottom. 

So she did not even sleep last night. Oh dear.

It is hard to sleep in nice hotels. Because you do not have your very own pillows. Or your comfy duvet. 

It is better to sleep in your own comfy bed. Because are not too many people in your own bed. 

The too many people have to sleep in our other little bedroom. In the scary basement. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Then Niamh and I played with my favourite orange toy. That was good. 

And she went to visit Lee and Cara. To tell them all about the way special dance all night party. 

Zita and Doctor Susan went out in the gold big car to buy tasty food. For another cook outside party. For my friend Niamh. Not today. Just later.

Just with all our just around here friends. Because Niamh is all finished school. It will be a for Niamh party. Ha. Good for her. 

Now she will go to the far away beside the dangerous ocean university. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

It is an very old university. Maybe it has ghosts. Maybe. 

Niamh is even going to live there. Inside the university. Oh dear.

Her friend Daniel is going there too. He was Niamh's friend even before she went to school. Ha. 

It is nice to have friends when you are far away. Beside a dangerous ocean. It is known. 

Craig has friends who live right where the university is. Their family has restaurants. Tasty food restaurants. 

Not too many chips restaurants. All the way from way far away Greece tasty food. Ha. That is good. 

Niamh likes tasty food. 

Mister Tom came to our house yesterday. When all the ladies were being all beautiful. He did not stay. 

He said it was too scary. Ha. He was right. 

It scared my friend Emmet. It is known.

My friend Niamh came home. From Cara and Lee's house.  And went fast asleep. In her own comfy bed. Even before our nice dinner. Too bad for her. 

Because she did not even sleep at all last night. That was silly. Too bad for her. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Two

I had a way way busy day. All day. 

Craig did not even go to his old friends breakfast today. Because it is Niamh's special dance day. 

He and I had to help everybody. To get all dressed and beautiful.

Miss Rima and Miss Rowan came to my house. Early in the morning. After toasts. 

Then Niamh and Miss Rima and Miss Rowan all had to go to Zita's friend Sue's make me beautiful store. On my busy street. 

Now their hair is just all on top of their head. Ha. That is funny.

Then a lady came to my house to make their faces all beautiful too. 

I had to stay in the den with Craig. So he would not get into any too much trouble. 

Then Miss Rima and Miss Rowan's mothers came to my house. To see them all beautiful. 

And have little little bagels. From nice Mister Kettleman's tasty bagel store. And some too much coffees too. 

I got bagel bits. Ha. Good for me. 

Then Miss Lilly was here. To watch everybody. Be all beautiful. 

I could not be a big help. I just had to guard Craig. Oh dear. 

Guarding Craig is not so much fun. We just listened to way way old music. In the den. With the door all closed. Oh well. 

Then I was a way big help. I caught a giant fly. Right in the kitchen. Ha. Too bad for it. 

Zita had to wash Craig's hair all as clean as could be. He did not drown. That is good. 

Because everybody had to go to the outside party this afternoon. In the way too hot. 

But not Emmet. Or me. We did not have to go. Ha. Good for us.

Craig and Zita took the black go fast car. With Niamh and Miss Rima all dressed in their special way beautiful dresses. In the back set. 

There was no room for even me. That is why I guarded my friend Emmet. All afternoon. Oh well. 

We had tasty treats. And looked out the watching window. Ha. Good for us.

Maybe my friend Niamh is not going to sleep here to night. Oh dear. 

Because the party is not over until even the morning. Oh dear. 

She and her dance friends are going to nearly sleep at a hotel way downtown. Oh well.

And then they are going to have breakfast altogether. Just them. And not me. 

They will have lots of cheese for breakfast. 

Nice hotels always give you lots of cheese for breakfast. It is  known. Too bad for me. Oh well. 

. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty One

We had a little sleep in today. Because everybody was up until very late last night.

Watching the television. Because way far away England does not want to be friends with their other friends anymore. Oh dear. That is not right.

Now they will not have any friends. 

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Niamh said it is a way way big mistake. 

Emmet said some silly people just believed lies. And now they will not have any nice friends. 

The nice friends with all the tasty foods. And go fast cars. Oh dear. 

And now all the Scotsmen still want to have nice friends. Oh dear. 

Craig said maybe they will take all their bagpipes and go to find new friends. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

I do not like it when things are not just all right. Even in way far away.

Mister Bill came back from way far away Ireland. Last night. He did not crash the car even once. Ha. That is good.

He saw lots of castles. And restaurants. And sheep. Ha. 

He took a kabillion pictures. Because Mister Bill is a famous picture taker. 

He even took pictures of Zita's mother and father. And the garden. With all the beautiful flowers. 

He did not fall out the very high window. When he was taking his pictures of the beautiful flowers. That is good. 

Zita and I had a nice walk this morning. Before the too hot came. 

When we came home. Craig made the toasts. They were too all toasted. He is not a way good toast maker. Oh well.

Last night we had toasts in bed. When we watched the television. That is good. Toasts in bed is my favourite. It is known. 

Niamh and Miss Rima went to the make your fingers all beautiful store this afternoon.

Niamh put on her special beautiful dress. For us to see. It is for her special dance night. And she wore her very tall shoes too. 

There are lots of holes in her beautiful dress. Oh dear. There are more holes than dress. Oh dear. 

Craig said it was ok. Just one time. Because it is a very special dance night dress. Oh dear.

Then she and Miss Rima had to go to find a make your fingers beautiful store. That is silly.

Craig had to go to the make him neat and tidy store. 

Because Zita and Craig have to go to an outside party. With all the dance a lot families. Before the special dance night. 

So Craig has to be all neat and tidy. Ha. Too bad for him. 

When he came home he was not even a bit furry. He will be all too cold now. Too bad for him.

Zita only had to go to the little make you beautiful store. Because she was already beautiful. It is known.

Emmet does not have to be neat and tidy. He is not going to the outside party. Too bad for him. 

We are going to guard the house and drink Irish tea. And eat treats. All by ourselves. Ha. And look out the watching window. Together. That is good. 

It is good to have friends to watch out the window with you. It is known. 

It was a very nice day today. We played catch the ball a lot. 

When Craig was not way busy reading stories for our nice Queen. And talking to people on the telephone. 

Our Queen does not call people on the telephone. She is too busy. 

Waving at all the people. And keeping all the castles spic and span. I think her dogs help. But they are very little dogs. Oh well. 

They are all the way from Wales dogs. Just like Professor Alex. Ha. But she is not a dog. 

Just a professor at Emmet's nice university. Too bad for her. 

There are very fierce dragons in Wales. They only live in old caves. Not in nice houses. Like me. Ha. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Nine

Craig and I got up first today.  And we played catch the ball even before Zita was all wide awake. 

Then Zita had to go downtown. Right away. 

To see all the television people. For all the rascal ladies.

She did not know she had to go. Until this morning. Oh dear. 

And she had to wear her special just for going out clothes. 

Craig drove her. In the silver little car. 

I guarded the house. And Niamh and Emmet because they were just all very fast asleep.

I got peanut butter treats.

Zita and I went for a nice walk yesterday. Before our tasty dinner. 

We went to my favourite bank. Where they give very polite dogs giant treats. 

I always get treats there. Ha. Good for me. 

They gave us money for all the rascal ladies. The rascal ladies do not get treats. Only money. Too bad for them. 

The nice ladies came to my house today. To make the house all spic and span. 

They are nice ladies. They told me I was beautiful. That is true. They have very noisy spic and span machines. Oh well.

Zita drove Emmet to his nice university for his remember everything exam. I stayed here and guarded everybody. Even Craig. 

He just hides in the den. When the nice cleaning ladies are here. So they do not make him all spic and span clean too. Ha. 

This afternoon Zita and Niamh and Zoe and their friends and all their mothers are going to a make them beautiful store. 

Not so far away. Right in the forest. With outside bathtubs. Oh dear. 

They will not have their dinner with us. Oh dear. I do not like that. 

I am not going. I am staying here to guard the house. And Emmet and Craig.

They will go to a too many chips restaurant. For their tasty dinner. Ha. 

I hurt my leg just a bit. Chasing the awful flys. Oh dear. It was not too sore. That is good. 

Last night my friend Emmet watched all the scary wolves and dragon programs. 

All at once. In the den. I did not watch them with him. Because they are too scary.

Emmet said the very nice and very brave giant died. That is sad. But he was a big help. They got their own castle back. That is good. 

The nice men killed the nasty man until he was just dead forever. That is good. 

I do not like sad programs. Or scary programs. Oh well. Good for me.

Zita and I went for a nice walk this morning. Before she had to talk to all the rascal ladies. 

We did not get any tasty treats today. We did not go to see the nice lady's special for nice dogs treat box. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Mister Bill is still in way far away Ireland. He sent us pictures. Of the secret room castle. 

He did not find the secret room. Because it is all secret. Ha. 

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Niamh went there too. A long time ago. It is still way old. It is their favourite castle. 

It is not so far away from cousin Orlaith's nice university. Beside the dangerous giant ocean. 

The castle is not beside the ocean. Just a nice little river. There are no fierce sharks in the river. Just nice ducks. Just like my own ponds. 

Maybe the castle has ghosts. Maybe. Lots of way old castles have ghosts. Ha.

I am not scared of ghosts. Dogs are not scared of ghosts. Not even very little dogs. Ha. Good for us.

I got treats from my friend Emmet. When he was all wide awake. When he made his Irish tea for his lunchtime snack. 

He was still studying for his remember everything exam. Tomorrow. At his nice university. Oh dear.

Zita had to take Craig's mother to the other hospital this morning. Even before our toasts.

She fell all down. Maybe she hurt her foot. It is way fat today. Oh dear. 

The hospital had to take those just all inside you pictures. 

I had pictures like that. When I had my sore foot operation. In my nice hospital. Good for me. 

Her foot was not even a bit broken. So Zita came home to house for her lunch. That is good.

We just peeked around my corner. Then we came home. That was good. 

Then Niamh went all the way downtown. 

To take her wrong clothes back to a store. On the smelly bus. In the way too hot. Oh dear.

Then MIss Tarran came to our house. My friend Niamh and Miss Tarran went to see a way sad movie. They cried. All by themselves. Oh dear. 

That is not right. You should only go to nice happy movies. Then you will not be sad. 

Movies all about brave people with big fierce dogs. Just like me. Who save everybody. Or catch nasty people. Those are good movies. It is known. 

Craig and Zita went to Doctor Susan's house. For a little visit. After our dinner.

I stayed here to guard my friend Emmet.

We went to our comfy bed early last night. Because everybody was tired. Except Niamh. 

Yesterday was a very busy day. 

Today is the day just for fathers. Craig even got presents. Secret presents. 

Emmet got him more little soldiers. Even one from me.

Jamie is a very furry dog. He does not like the too hot. At all. He does not go outside when it is way too hot. Me either. 

Zita and I did not want to go for a walk before dinner. Because of the too hot. We just stayed here. In the nice cool house. That was good. 

Our friend Mister Tom brought us nice programs. From way far away. To watch on the television. At night. In the comfy den. That was nice. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Five

Then Emmet had to go to his nice university for his remember everything exam. So Zita drove him. Because of the way too hot day.

There were no people walking on our street today. Because it is a way too hot day. 

There was not even one fat cloud in the sky. Just the hot sunshine. Oh well. 

Craig got my friend Emmet when he was all finished his exam. 

Craig stayed in our nice very cool house. Because he can not go to the special cheese party. He is not a lady. Ha. Too bad for him. 

I could not go to the special cheese party. 

That is not right. I always go to our cheese parties. I am the best cheese guarding dog. In the world. It is known. It is my best job. Oh dear.

I just stayed in my nice cool house. To guard Craig. And then Emmet too. 

It is too hot outside to play catch the ball today. Oh well. 

The other night Craig and Zita and I went for a long walk. After our dinner. Because it was too hot. Until after our dinner.

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Four

I had a nice quiet day. Today is my friend Niamh's last day at her dance a lot school. For ever. 

Except for her remember everything exam day. Oh dear.

She was a bit sad last night. This morning Niamh and Lilly went on the smelly bus. Together. For the last time. Oh dear.

We did not go to bed until very late last night. Because some of the rascal ladies have even just a different time. 

Not the same as mine. That is silly. They will always be late. 

Everybody will eat the tasty dinners without them. Ha, too bad for them. 

When my friend Niamh goes to her far away university she will have another time too. Oh dear. 

How will she see me on the flat computer if she does not have the real time. 

Maybe I will just be still all fast asleep. Oh dear. That is not right.

Everybody should just have the same time. It is true. Oh dear.

We went for our nice walk after toasts. Before it was way too hot. For nice walks. 

Then Craig and Zita had to go to get Craig's brand new for the wedding shoes. 

I guarded the house. All by myself. Emmet was still just all fast asleep. So I guarded him too. Good for me.

Tomorrow is the giant before you get married party. For Doctor Susan's daughter. The only for ladies party. 

But not nice polite lady dogs. Like me. Too bad for me.

Everybody is very busy. Getting stuff. And tasty treats. For the party. 

Craig had to read a very big story from the government today. For our nice Queen. It was a bit interesting. Except when it was not. Oh well. 

Tomorrow is my friend Emmet's remember everything exam. At his nice university. All about the way old interesting invented things. 

And Niamh has to go to our big community centre. Very early in the morning. To practice for her new for real money all summer job. 

Then she has to put on her party clothes for the giant party. Oh dear. 

Tomorrow everybody will be very busy. Even Craig and me. 

Maybe Craig will have to drive people everywhere. Maybe. And I will have to guard the house all day. All by myself. Ha. 

Niamh and all the dance a lot ladies are going to a concert for loud music way downtown. After school.

I do not like loud music so much. 

Zita's friend Miss Megan's son is going to the be a soldier university. 

Now he is learning how to play the bagpipes. Bagpipes can only play loud. Oh dear. 

He does not live on my street anymore. Ha. That is good. 

Only Craig like bagpipes. Because he thinks he is a Scotsman. He is not. Ha. Too bad for him. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Three

We had another very beautiful day. We did not go on a nice early in the morning walk. I was too tired. 

We went for a nice walk after we had out crunchy toasts. And Craig and I played catch the ball. Ha.

I nearly caught an awful squirrel. It was on my own fence. When I went out to get my ball. Ha. I hate squirrels. 

Then we had the too many coffees. So Zita could work with all the rascal ladies.

Emmet had a meeting at his nice university today. To talk about another university. 

He had a make you squeaky clean bath first. So he would just smell beautiful. And not just like my friend Emmet. 

Craig and Zita drove him. That is nice. It is a too hot outside day. 

A nice rascal lady was shot by a nasty man. Today. In way far away England. 

Then she died. Oh dear oh dear. That is not right. 

I think there are too many nasty people. I do not know why there are nasty people. Or nasty dogs. 

Maybe nasty people only have nasty dogs. Maybe. 

There should be no nasty people. Just lots more way nice dogs. Like me. And my friend Jamie. 

Craig has to get new shoes for the wedding. He has very old shoes. They even have paint on them. Because he is a bit too messy. Oh well. 

Maybe he will go today. Even my friend Emmet has new shoes. 

Zita and Niamh have lots more beautiful shoes. They win. Ha. 

My friend Miss Zoe came to my house for a visit last night. 

She is going way way far away to her university. Out on an island. Where the giant mountains are. 

She is going to be an engineer. 

Maybe she can drive the big dangerous trains. So they won't just fall over. Like Emmet's trains. In way far away Russia. That is good. 

And Miss Lilly came for some help about all the way old things. So Craig and Emmet talked to her for a long time. That was nice. 

They know lots and lots about way way old things. Because Craig is old too. 

Craig and Emmet know even all about the Punics. And all falling down castles. And the way old Gods too. That is good. 

Some people do not know about the way way old. Too bad for them. 

They do not even know the stories about the scary Vikings or famous knights with giant castles who have very brave dogs to help them. Ha. 

Those people will not be very interesting. They will not get to go to lots of tasty cheese parties. Ha. Too bad for them.

Mister Tom came for a visit too. Later. He brought new programs for us to watch on the television. He had lemonade. I had a little nap. Ha. 

We had a busy night. I guarded everybody. Ha. Good for me. 

Then we went all fast asleep. Except for my friend Niamh. She was at a dance a lot friends sleepover. Oh well.

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty Two

Zita and I got up way early this morning. For our nice walk. In the sunshine. 

Then Zita had to go to her just all day long rascal ladies meeting. 

She had to go and get the tasty breakfast from the very special tasty sticky buns and fat bread store. Early. 

That is why we went for a nice walk before everybody was even a bit awake. 

Craig and I played catch the ball. Even before the too much coffee. Ha. Good for me.

Niamh is a little sad today. It is her very last dance class at her dance a lot school. 

It is all her friends last class too. With her very favourite dance a lot teacher Mrs. Madame. Oh dear. That is sad. Oh dear.

Maybe all the dance a lot ladies will have a sleepover. That is what they do when they are sad. Oh well.

Craig and I had a toasty bagel for our breakfast. 

Then he had to read some stories for our nice Queen. 

I had a nice nap. Outside. On my nice cool flat stones. Ha. Good for me. 

Emmet did not have to go to his nice university today. He had to stay home and study. For his remember everything exams. And make lots of Irish tea. 

You can only study a lot if you have lots of Irish tea. It is known. 

And he went for a nice walk. Even in the a bit too hot. 

When you are full up to the top because of studying you have to have nice walks. 

So you head will not be way too heavy with all the interesting stories. And you just fall right over. Oh dear. 

That is why people study at their desks. So if they fall over they can just have a nice nap. It is known.

Craig and I had a fat peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Then we went out and sat in the side yard. In the very bright sunshine. 

Craig was reading a very big book all about two men who steal famous swords. For lots of money. 

Then we were just too very hot. 

And we came in to my nice not hot house. Ha. Good for us. I had a nice nap. 

Doctor Susan came to my house to borrow our gold big car. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Maybe her cars are all broken. Oh dear. Maybe. 

She should tell Mister Mike. He has a fix your car all up store. 

He always fixes our cars. Even a very long time ago. That is good. 

Miss Lilly is going to come to my house tonight. After our dinner. So Craig and Emmet can help her with the all about long long time ago stories. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty One

It was a very beautiful day. Just a little hot. With lots of fat clouds. 

Zita and I had a nice walk. Before she drove Niamh to dance a lot school for her remember everything exam.

I stayed with Craig. Because he had a not very good tummy. He even stayed in bed. I kept him company. Right on the big bed. 

It is good to have company when you are not just all right. It is known. 

When I had my sore foot operation Craig and Zita stayed with me all the time. So I was not even scared at all. That was nice. 

Craig and I did not play catch the ball until way late. Because he was all fast asleep even until our lunchtime. 

Then he made the coffees and we played catch the ball.

Zita was very busy with the rascal ladies. The rascal ladies are having an important meeting tomorrow. For an all day meeting tomorrow. With tasty food too. From the too expensive food store. 

We had only a little bit of toast for our lunch. Because of Craig's tummy. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

We watched the football game last night. It was the same football game from up on my busy street. Ha. That is silly.

There were cars parked everywhere on my streets last night. Oh well. 

Craig's team even won. Ha. 

Last night Zita got thank you very much secret presents from all the nice people at our little newspaper. That was nice. 

Craig had to call people for our nice Queen but they were not home. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Tonight is Emmet's stay at the university until late night. For his favourite class. The one all about way way old inventions. 

He has to have his dinner first. So he will not be late for his interesting class. 

We had pizza last night. From the special very tasty pizza restaurant. 

Emmet will have used pizza tonight. It is his favourite. Ha. I like pizzas too. I always get little pizza bits. Ha. Good for me. 

A nasty man killed a whole bunch of people. We saw it on the television. Just because he did not like them dancing with all their friends. Oh dear. 

That is not right. Dancing is nice. Oh dear. Oh dear. Niamh dances all the time. Even toe dancing. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Now there are lots and lots and lots of very sad people. Even all their families. And their friends. And all their dogs too. That is not right. 

It was not here. It was a bit far away. 

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

Maybe he can lend the poor people some nice dogs to keep them company. 

Until their own dogs come to Heven to find them. And be their own company forever.  Ha. That is a good idea. Ha. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty

We did not get up way early today.  That was nice. I have a very comfy bed. 

Zita and I had a nice walk. It was not even a little bit hot. That was good.

We had giant crunchy toasts when we were home. Good for us. And we played catch the ball. Two times. Ha. And Craig and Zita had more too many coffees. 

Today was Niamh's last go to dance a lot school Monday. Oh dear.

Zita drove her in the black go fast car. 

Now the gold big car lives on the street. Right in front of our house. I can see it right out my watching window. Everyday. 

It is the best car for driving practice. Zita told me. Because it is a bit old. And will not mind little bumps so much. Because it is very big. Like me. Ha.

Craig said my friend Niamh could not ever forget me. Not even a little bit. Because I am her very best dog. That is good.

Craig said I should not worry. Oh well. 

He said Niamh is even worried I will not remember her. Oh dear. Oh dear. That is not all right.

Dogs never forget their very best friends. It is known. 

I would never forget my friend Niamh. Or Zita. Or Emmet. Or Craig. It is known. They are my own friends forever.

Craig said Niamh can see me on her fast computer. Even when she is at her very far way university. That is good. 

Maybe I can show her my own catching ball. Or my orange special toy. On our little flat computer. When she is far away. 

I only show nice people my special orange toy. When they come to visit my house. Only if Craig and Zita say they are nice people. 

Craig is a little bit sad today. His long time ago boss died. Last night. 

Craig said she was a very nice lady. She lived just beside the Niamh's too much money for coffee store. 

Just right in our own neighbourhood. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

Zita was all busy with the rascal ladies on the phone today. 

I was a big help. I was as quiet as a comfy pillow. Ha. Good for me.

Emmet is still busy studying. For his nice university. 

Studying takes a long time. And is very hard. It fills your head all up. With important stories. It is known.

We watched two of Mister Tom's new programs last night. Until we were just all too sleepy. Then we went to our comfy bed.  

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Nine

We only had a little sleep in today.

Zita and I went for a nice walk. I was not so tired today. 

Zita said I was not tired. I was just stubborn. Oh well.

Zita went and got Niamh from Miss Courtney's house. She had a another because dance a lot school is nearly all over forever sleep over. 

Zita had to go before we had our coffees. Oh dear. 

We do not have tasty toasts if we do not have coffees. Too bad for me. 

Then Zita and Niamh went to Mister Horton's tasty donut store. For breakfast. 

They did not bring Craig and Emmet back even one little donut. Oh dear. 

Craig and Emmet will just all starve away. They do not eat so often. 

They should eat just like me. Whenever you can. Ha. Good for me. 

It is not so nice outside today. Craig had to put his comfy fuzzy shirt on. 

So he would not be just frozen. That is not right. It is not winter. That is not right.

Zita and Niamh had to find all her interesting classes for her new far away university. Oh dear. 

What if Niamh forgets all about me. Her friend Miss Poppy. When she is far away at her new university. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Maybe when she comes home she will say who is the big black dog in my house? Oh dear. Oh dear. That is not right. 

I will not forget my friend Niamh. It is known. Dogs never forget their family. It is known. 

Zita made own made tasty muffins this afternoon. With bananas. I love bananas. 

Sometimes I get little pieces when we own make muffins. 

Craig made Niamh's story all beautiful. Before he had his muffin. That is good.

Zita will make the story be neat and tidy. That is good. 

Craig had to watch the little go very fast cars on the television. So he ate is muffin in the den. 

I do not watch the little go very fast cars. They are not so interesting. Oh well. 

Emmet is all finished his not so very big story. For his not so very interesting class. That is good. 

Now he has to study for his remember everything exams. I do not like exams so much. It is known. 

We went for a nice before dinner walk. But there was a nasty big dog who ran at Zita. I gave it my very fierce growl and my fiercest very loud bark. It ran away. 

Zita yelled at it too. It was a nasty dog. I do not know why some dogs are nasty. Oh well. 

Zita said I was very brave. That is true.

Mister Bill and Mrs. Ginny are going to way far away Ireland tomorrow. 

They will see all our cousins too. And Zita's father. So they will not get all lost forever. That is good. 

Maybe we will watch some not scary programs on the television tonight. That would be nice. Maybe. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Eight

I did not go for a nice walk today.

Zita went all by herself. Without me. Because I had a sleep in. 

I did not want to go for a walk. It was not so nice outside. It was nearly just all raining. 

When Zita came home I was still all fast asleep on the bed. Craig too.

But then Craig did not go for a nice walk to his old friends breakfast. Craig and Zita and I always go for the old friends breakfast nice walk.

He just went in the silver little car. Because of the rain.

So I could not go on the nice walk with him. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Zita and I always go with Craig to his breakfast. So he won't just get lost. 

I was a bit upset. I told Zita and Craig that we had to go on our walk. Or Craig might get lost. 

They did not listen to me so well. Oh dear. Oh dear.

He did not get lost. But I did not get to go on my nice walk. 

Zita said it was my fault. Because of my big sleep in. That was not very nice. Oh dear. 

Then Zita had to go shopping. I had to guard the house by myself. Because Niamh and Emmet were still all fast asleep. Oh dear. 

They did not go for nice walks either. Oh dear. To bad for us. 

Niamh is very busy writing a long story for her school. I guarded her in the living room. On the very comfy rug. 

Emmet is studying for the remember everything exams. At his university. 

He was just downstairs in his cosy bedroom. I guarded him too. From upstairs. Ha. 

Last night I went all the way down the scary basement stairs. To get my special just for me catching ball. 

It fell all the way down the stairs. But nobody saw it. Just me. 

I found it all by myself. My friend Emmet did not have to help me at all. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita went to the only sell you giant food store. She bought lots and lots of way tasty cheese. 

It is not for us. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

It is just for Miss Ashley's before you get all married party. I can not go. Or Craig. Or Emmet. Just Niamh and Zita. That is not right. Oh dear. 

Zita and I went for a nice walk this afternoon. I was not even a bit tired. We had a long walk. Good for us. 

Zita is going to an outside dinner. Tonight. With lots of the rascal ladies. 

I can not go. It is a not for dogs outside dinner. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

Craig and Emmet and I will have a nice dinner. All by ourselves. 

Maybe we will have Mister Tony's tasty pizza. Maybe. I always get tasty pizza bits. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Seven

We had another not so very hot day.  That is good.

Zita and I went for a nice walk before we had our toasts. We had lots of toasts today. That was good.

Then Zita had to talk to the rascal ladies. But there was no one to talk to. Oh dear.

Zita drove Emmet to his nice university. 

Then she drove Niamh and Georgi to the make your beautiful special dress just not way too long store. Ha. That is good.

Niamh and Georgi had to take the smelly bus to dance a lot school. To go to their favourite dance a lot class. After lunchtime. 

Craig and Zita went for a little drive in the new go fast black car. 

Because Craig can drive now. All by himself. 

They brought Emmet home from his not so interesting class. 

Then they went out to do interesting things. And get milk for the too much coffees.

I guarded Emmet. He had to study for the remember everything exams at his nice university. 

Craig says the go fast car talks to you. All by itself. That is silly. Cars should not talk to you. 

Our other cars do not talk to you. That is good. 

There is even a special button in the car. If you push it you can ask people questions. 

Maybe you can ask where you can find tasty treats for very nice dogs. Maybe. Ha. That is a good button. 

Craig watched the hockey game on the television last night. Me too. His team won. Ha. 

Craig's teams do not win way often. Too bad for him. 

Niamh is going to work tonight. At our nice big community centre. 

She has to take care of dancing people. Until way late at night. She gets even free pizza. Ha. And real money too. Ha. That is good. 

Then she can go to the too expensive coffee store. Again. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Six

We had everybody for our tasty dinner last night. Mister Paul and Miss Georgi and Miss Courtney were all here. At the same time. 

And everybody talked for a long long time. And laughed.

All the toe dance remember everything exams are all over. Forever. Niamh was not even a bit nervous. That was good.

Miss Georgi and Miss Courtney had a sleepover last night. In our house.

Miss Courtney had to make Niamh's room all neat and tidy. So there was even a bit of room for the sleepover. 

They found lots of things and were all lost forever. Ha. That was good. 

Zita and I had a nice walk this morning. It was not even a bit too warm. 

Then Zita had to go for a meeting where you eat your breakfast too. Way downtown. 

Yesterday there was a giant hole way downtown. It happened all by itself. Nobody dug it at all. Even a car was inside the hole. Oh dear. 

Now there is no road. Just a giant hole. That is not right. 

Craig had to have his too much coffee all by himself this morning. Then we had croissants. 

They were not so tasty. They were old croissants. Craig did not put them in the toasts machine. Oh well.

Zita came home when Emmet was just all wide awake. Because it was lunchtime.

Emmet put a tasty bagel in the toasts machine. For his lunch. 

The toasts machine made a very load noise. I jumped right up. I was even a bit scared. 

But my friend Emmet said it was just the toasty machine bagel noise. That is good. 

Maybe I was all fast asleep. Maybe. 

Then Zita go had to help the new lady give everybody our nice newspapers. So she can know how to put them all in the right big piles. 

The big truck took them to her house. Not ours. That is good. 

Now I do not have to share my side yard with all the newspapers. 

Tonight is Emmet's favourite class. All about every interesting way way old things. And people too. 

He does not come home until late. 

Zita and her friend Wendy are going out for tasty desserts tonight. They went to Mister Saint Paul's university. 

Zita will drive Emmet. Or maybe Craig. I will wait for everybody. It is my best job. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Five

We had to get up way early this morning. Craig did not get up so early. Ha. 

Zita had to drive Niamh and Miss Rowan to dance a lot school. 

For another remember everything exam. Or dear.

Maybe Niamh will not be way too nervous today. Maybe. Oh dear.

We had giant crunchy toasts this morning. After our very fast walk. Good for us

Craig had to talk to lots of people on the telephone today. For a long long time. 

I had to be way quiet. So I would not scare any of the government people. With a very fierce bark. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

He had to talk to them for our nice Queen. And read lots of not so interesting stories the government sends him. Oh well. Too bad for him.

Then the nice ladies came to my house today. To make it all spic and span. That is good. 

Later Craig and I played catch the ball when they used the very noisy cleaning machine. That is good. 

They forgot to put my comfy bed back. Oh dear.

Craig did not forget. That is good. I like my comfy bed. 

It is very near the refrigerator. Where the tasty lettuce treats live. And even our own made green beans. But not just now later. Ha. 

Then Craig got Emmet. He was at his not so very interesting class today. 

They do not even talk about way old things in this class. Not even about the Punics. Or elephants. Oh well. 

Last night my friend Jamie came to my house. So professor Jill could talk to Emmet all about nice universities. 

Jamie and I did not go for a nice walk. Oh well. We had just a little visit. Too bad for us. 

Mister Paul came to our house today. For a tasty dinner. With us. 

Before dinner Craig and Mister Paul went to the special store. To bring our gold big car all home to our house. That is good. 

Craig and Zita brought the black go fast car home last night. Now Craig can drive it too. That is good. 

I have my own special cover. So I can sit in the car. And be all safe. But I am still too loud. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Four

We had a quiet day.

Zita and I went for an early nice walk. Then we had big fat crunchy toasts. 

Niamh and Miss Lilly went to dance a lot school on the awful smelly bus. 

Because Craig and Zita took the go fast back car to the special store. So Craig can drive it. 

I guarded the house while they were away. All by myself. 

My friend Emmet was all fast asleep. Ha. I got peanut butter treats. 

Emmet did not get even one treat. Ha. Too bad for him. He was way too fast asleep. 

Today is Niamh's last remember everything toe dance exam. 

She bought brand new toe dance shoes. Yesterday. At the special just for dancers store. On our busy street. 

Because today everything has to be all perfect. Even your shoes. And your hair has to be all gued together. On your head. Oh dear. I would not like that. 

She was very nervous this morning. When she went to her dance a lot school. Oh dear.

After school today she and Zita have to to the the lady who makes you beautiful special dresses just right. 

So your feet do not trip on your beautiful dress and you fall right down and hurt your bottom. Oh dear. 

Zita was very busy with the rascal ladies. Again. I kept her company. Right on her feet. So they would not get cold.

It was not a so very warm day. Oh well. 

Craig had to read more for our nice Queen. I did not have to help him. 

Our friend Mister Bill came to our house after dinner time. To talk to Craig and Zita about his trip to way far away Ireland. 

So he will not get all lost. And captured by all the sheep. 

There are lots and lots of sheep in Ireland. And they live in the middle of the road. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Mister Bill wants to see just the nice people in way far away. Not just the way way old castles. Like Craig and Emmet. 

Maybe he is scared of ghosts. Maybe. I am not afraid of ghosts. Too bad for them. 

Niamh was too nervous today. She did not like her toe dance remember everything exam so much. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Miss Rowan came to our house for a sleep over. And dinner. And to make Niamh feel all better. That is nice. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Three

I took my friend Zita for a nice long walk this morning. 

Because it is a way beautiful this morning. All sunny and not too even a bit too hot. 

My friend Niamh had nasty headache today. She had to stay in her comfy bed. Until nearly lunchtime. 

Then Craig drove her to her dance a lot school. Because she is very busy at her school. 

Niamh's dance a lot school is almost all finished. Oh dear. 

Now lots and lots of years of dance a lot school are nearly all done. Forever. 

She has a toe dance remember everything exam tomorrow. It is her last toe dance exam. Oh dear. That is sad. 

I do not like sad. Sad is not good for people. It is known. 

That is my job. To make my people not even sad at all. Good for me. 

Zita was very busy today. With lots of important rascal ladies meetings. On the telephone. 

I had to be very quiet. So no one would know I was here guarding my friend Zita. 

Then Emmet went to have a tasty lunch with professor Jill. 

My friend Jamie and I could not go. It was a not for dogs restaurant. Even very polite dogs. Just like me and Jamie. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

They had to talk all about Emmet's next university. The far away one. Beside the ocean. Oh dear. 

Emmet does not like the ocean. Because of the giant whales I think. Or the nasty eat you all up sharks. Oh dear. 

He should not go there. He should go a new university in the way high mountains. There are no giant whales in the way high mountains. It is known. 

When everybody was away I stayed here to guard my friend Zita. And all the house. Ha. Good for me. 

When Craig came home Zita had to go way downtown to get important stuff. For the rascal ladies. 

After our dinner Craig and Zita took the gold big car to the special store. That is where they make the car so Craig can drive it.

Tomorrow they will take the new go fast black car there too. So Craig can drive it too. That is good.

Last night we watched a scary program Mister Tom gave us. I did not watch it. 

I do not like scary things so much. So I had a nice nap with Craig and Zita in the den. To guard them. 

Then we all went to the cosy bedroom so we could go all fast asleep. On the big comfy bed. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Two

We had little sleep ins today. Everybody. Not just Craig.

Zita and I did not go for our nice walk this morning. Because it is all windy rain. Lots and lots of rain.

Zita said the farmers needed the lots of rain. So all the tasty food will grow. And we can buy it. 

When the nice farmers come to the lots of tents for farmers place. In the windy place where all the new stores live. 

That is where we go to get tasty giant treats at my nice bank. Only very polite dogs get treats. Like me. Ha.

Niamh had to get up early today. Too bad for her. It was a practice day for her new job. In the summer. 

She is going to teach little dancers again. Ha. They gave her brand new tshirts. It says Glebe on them. 

Because that is our neighbourhood. Right here. Where I live. 

Miss Robin is going to be there too. But not teaching dance a lot. They came back to our house. To watch movies on Niamh's computer. 

Niamh has three classes. To teach. They are all ready all full up. To the very top. Ha. 

That is good. Now Niamh can have lots of real money when she goes far away to her new university. 

I do not think she should go so far away. Right beside the giant ocean. The one that is all full up with whales. Oh dear. 

How can I get her all wide awake if she is not here. In her own comfy bed. Oh dear. 

She will be late all the time. Oh dear. 

A lady came to my house so Zita could teach her more. All about how to give the newspapers to all the nice people. 

It took a very long time. I had a nice nap on the comfy rug. In the living room. 

Then Zita and I had a nice little walk. After lunchtime. When there was no lots of rain. Ha. 

So we would not get all soggy. I only had to stay in the kitchen for a little while. When we came home. That is good. 

Zita had to clean up flowers. The ones that just fell over. Because of the lots of rain. I could not help. Oh well. 

Emmet finished his not very long story. So now he can have a nice nap. 

Craig will look at it. And make the words beautiful. That is what fathers do. It is known.
