We did not go for our nice walk before toasts today.

Because Zita had to talk to lots of rascal. On the telephone until nearly lunchtime.

Craig and I had a croissant. But we did not eat so much. 

Because it was too old. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

Last night my friend Emmet had to send all his important papers all about his interesting stories to the government. 

So maybe the can give him money to write even more way interesting stories at his next university. Maybe.

He was very happy. 

Because it took a long long time to make all the right papers. Ha. Good for him. 

Today is be happy if you are a Scotsman day. Ha.

We got up early today.

Because the brand new make the clothes all clean machine is going to be here today. 

But we do not know when.

And it is all freezie rain outside. So we did not go for our nice walk. 

It is way too slippy on the sidewalks. We would just fall down. And have all wet bottoms. Oh dear.

We had lots of crunchy toasts instead. And we watched the cars go sliding away down the street. Ha. Too bad for them. 

This is me and my watching window and my comfy rug.

Today is our own beautiful house's sing happy birthday day. 

This is my only house. I did not live at the other house. 

It is just around my own corner. It is not even far away.

So he would not have more all empty tires again. Oh dear. They will fix it all up. 

You can not drive a car with all empty tires. It is known. 

Zita's black go fast car even tells you all about empty tires. The silver little car is not so smart. 

Because it is old. Just like Craig.

He used to have another way way old very noisy fast car. I never heard it.

It is good Niamh is coming home. So I can guard her. Even from giant elephants.

Even the new medicine is not so nice. So she has to sleep a lot. She can not to to her classes. 

Because she is too sick. Oh dear. Oh dear. That is not right.

It even snowed last night. When I was fast asleep. I saw it when I looked out the window. Oh dear. 

It is our get up way early day today but Craig and I did not get up way early. 

Because Emmet's professor lives on a farm. And her car was broken in the snow.

Then she went home to her own little room. At her far away university. 

Because her too sore headache came back. And it hurt her eyes too. Oh dear. 

Niamh's nice friends Miss Riley and Miss Sidney helped her. 

That is why you have nice friends. It is known.

We talked to her today. She still has a too sore head. Oh dear. Oh dear.

Miss Sidney and Miss Riley told Zita. Oh dear.  Oh dear. 

He would be very very nice if I were there. 

Because I am very big and I have very fierce growls. Ha. Too bad for him. 

My family should not go away. They should just stay here in our own comfy house. 

Where I can guard them. 

Craig just stays here. That is good.

Everybody else goes away. Sometimes very far away. Even to way far away Ireland. 

Or a university. Even far away universities. Like Niamh's. Oh dear. 

I cannot guard them there. Only here. That is not right. 

They do not listen to me so much. Too bad for them. 

Craig went to his old friends breakfast today. By himself. Zita and I were too tired. 

He did not get all lost. That is good.

When we were all wide awake there were all clouds right on the street. And in the park. Ha. That is silly. 

Clouds should just stay in the sky. Not on my street.

You can not go to visit your friends if you only have dirty clothes. It is known. 

Craig had his squeaky clean bath last night. 

Now he is not so smelly. He just smells like too much soap. Too bad for him.

He does not smell like Craig. Tomorrow he will smell like Craig again. That is good. 

Sometimes I am too smelly and I have to have a bath. That is why I can not work for our nice Queen. 

You can not work for the nice Queen is you are all smelly. That is why she only has very little dogs. 

Because you can put them into the bathtub every day. 

Because are not so big. Ha. 

Today is Emmet's favourite class at his nice university. The one about old Russians. 

With all his very smart friends. Ha. It is good to have smart friends in your very interesting classes. 

It makes you smarter too.

Craig drove him so he would not be even a little bit too late. 

I guarded the house. All by myself. Until Craig came back home. 

Then we played catch the ball. Lots of times. Ha. Good for me. 

Tonight Craig and Zita are going to a too many chips restaurant. 

With Mister Bill and Mrs. Ginny and Cara and Lee and even their parents. 

Maybe Emmet too. Maybe. If he is all finished reading his lots and lots of interesting stories. 

You have to read lots and lots at universities. It is known. 

I will guard the whole house. Ha. 

The doctor at Niamh's far away university gave her some medicine for her too sore head. That is good. 

Maybe she is all better today. 

Maybe she will call us on the flat computer. So we can see her too sore head. 

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Six

We did not get up so early today. 

We went on our nice before breakfast walk. Just us. That is good.

When we got home we had lots of toasts. With Craig. And the too much coffees too. Good for us.

This morning Emmet slept in. He was still fast asleep when Zita went down. Or dear. That is not right. 

Craig drove him to his other university right away. Even before he had his breakfast. 

So he could go to his old Irish stories class. And not be late. 

Emmet is never late. That is good. 

Then Craig and Emmet came home. For a tasty lunch. 

Zita went to Mister Kettleman's bagel store for all filled up bagels. I like bagels too.

Zita was way busy this morning. Talking to a nice man. He was far away. 

Because her telephone would not talk to anybody. It would only listen. Oh dear. That is not right. 

But the nice man fixed it. All by himself. On the other telephone. Ha.

Craig had to go to see Doctor Don. He is our very nice dentist. 

He has a brand new office is just up on our busy street. Not way downtown anymore. Ha. That is good.

Zita drove Emmet back to his other university. Today is Emmet's two times at the other university day. 

Then Craig brought him all safe back to our house. 

My friend Niamh has a sore head. So she is going to the doctor at her far away university. 

Zita and I did not go for our nice before dinner walk. We were too busy. 

So we did not see my friend Jamie today. Too bad for us.

Craig has to have his squeaky clean bath tonight. So he will not be all too smelly. 

You can not work for our nice Queen if you are smelly. It is known. 

Maybe we will just watch the detectives on the television tonight. Maybe.

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Five

Zita and I had a nice walk this morning. All by ourselves.

Last night we walked with my friend Jamie too. 

But he was still all fast asleep this morning. Ha. Too bad for him. 

I kept Craig all toasty warm until he was all wide awake. Again. 

We had four toasts today. I do not not know why. Oh well. 

Craig and Zita went to a long meeting this morning. 

All about Craig's mother's little apartment. Maybe she needs a new one. Maybe. 

When they got home the nice clean the house ladies came. With their noisy machines. 

To make our house all spic and span. That is nice. 

I stayed in the bedroom. It is not so noisy in our big bedroom. 

At lunchtime Craig went to the eat in your car restaurant. So he could bring Emmet home from his nice university. Ha. 

Tonight Emmet will make his own tasty dinner.

Because he is going to his stay until late class. Then he is going out with his friends. 

And after dinner Zita is going downtown to hear real music. With her lady friends. Not music on the black music machines. 

It will be in the giant stage building. With real people making the music. All by themselves. Ha. That is good.

They have lots and lots of comfy chairs there. But they do not have any popcorn. Oh well. 

I am staying here in my house to guard Craig.

Maybe I will have a nap on my comfy bed. Ha. Good for me.

I got a sing happy birthday day card. Last night. On the little flat computer. 

It was from my friends Mister Elliott and Miss Gracie. They are nice dogs. Just like me. Ha.

They are from very far away. Where they have way way big mountains. And a giant ocean too. Ha.

It is not Niamh and Orlaith's giant ocean. It is another one. 

It is nice to have far away friends. It is known. Good for us.

We saw the giant moon last night. On top of all the trees. In our nice park. 

It is not so big as me. Ha.

And my friend Emmet was even all up and awake too.

Because he had to make his first thing in the morning Irish tea. Before he went to his universities. 

Then Zita took him to his nice university. Before she went to the way too small office. 

To have important meetings with all the rascal ladies. 

A nice man came to my house. At our lunchtime. 

To make the comfy chairs in the living room all squeaky clean. He had way noisy machines. With very big hoses. 

Craig hid in the den. I had a nice long nap on the big comfy bed. Ha. Good for me.

Then Zita drove Emmet to his other university. 

I stayed with Craig to mind him. He was a bit too sore today. Too sore to get up very early. Oh dear. 

I always mind Craig until he is all out of bed. It is my job. It is good to have a nice job. It is known.

I just had a nice nap on the big bed. To keep his feet toasty warm. 

Until he was all wide awake. Ha. Good for me.

When he was all awake we had our toasts and too much coffees. And Zita too. 

Then I helped Zita move the cars.

If I do not get him all wide awake who will make the too much coffees. Or throw my catching ball. Ha. Good for me. 

We had extra toasts today. Because Zita and I did not have a nice sleep in. 

Only Craig and Emmet had sleep ins today. 

We saw my friend Niamh on the flat computer. This morning. 

She had a sick tummy last night. Oh dear. I could not be a big help.

Because she is far away. In her too far away university. Oh dear.

Niamh has to finish her long story today too.

Zita and I helped make Emmet's new long story beautiful. It is an even new long story. 

Because Emmet has lots and lots of stories to write. 

Maybe because he has two universities. Maybe. 

We made the special own made full of peaches pie for our all together breakfast today. 

It has Scotsmen's oatmeal on top. Just for Craig. Oh well.

Just my keep me toasty warm Scotsman's coat. Ha. Good for me. 

Tomorrow is my real sing happy birthday day. It is my second birthday day.

We had a little sleep in this morning. Because it is only Saturday. Not sleep in Sunday. 

When we were all fast awake Zita and I took Craig to his old friends breakfast. 

On the busy street. That is good. Then we went for our nice long walk. After Craig went into the restaurant. 

I got a cheese treat for my breakfast today. Good for me.

It is not so warm this morning. Just nice for long walks weather. 

When Craig came home he looked at Emmet's long story to make it all beautiful. 

And Zita looked a Niamh's story too. 

I had a nice quiet day. So I had long nap.

Then Mister Bill came over to tell us about his trip. To the new big city. 

To see all the rascals. And take lots of beautiful pictures. Ha. That was interesting. It is a very noisy city. Oh dear. 

I do not like too much noise. Maybe I will not go to noisy cities. Maybe. 

I will just stay here in my quiet house. With my own family. And my own comfy bed. Good for me.

This afternoon a little dog tried to bite Ollie today. Right in front of my house. That is not very nice. 

Ollie is bigger than I am. He did not eat the little dog all up. He just gave a very fierce growl. 

And chased it a little bit. Then the little dog ran all away. That is a silly dog. Oh well.

We had tasty chicken last night. When Miss Andrea came to our house for a nice dinner. 

Zita always gives me little tasty chicken pieces. When we have chicken. Ha. Good for me. 

We watched a very good program all about very smart lady detectives. Last night. On the television.

They used to find secrets for the soldiers a secret army. When they had an old war. 

In way far away England. Ha. Good for them. 

And last night Craig's hockey team even won again. Ha. 

Zita and I went for a nice before dinnertime walk. Before it is all dark outside. 

That is when the giant raccoons come out and hide in the bushes. 

And try to just jump out catch you. But only when it is all dark. Ha. 

They did not even see us tonight. Good for us.

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty

We had a very little sleep in today.

Then Zita and I went for our nice walk. Before breakfast. Ha. That is right.

Then Craig made the tasty toasts. From the special tasty toasts bread. And some too much coffees. 

Not the pretend coffee today. Ha. That is right.

Then Craig went for a tasty lunch with Mister Gabriel. He is Uncle Bill's son. They like to have nice lunches. 

Mister Gabriel's wife is a professor at Emmet's other university. She knows all about very very old fish. 

All about why they swim. I do not know why. Oh well. 

She is famous. 

Today is the sad remember all the old soldiers day. 

The very loud little go very fast aeroplanes flew right over my house. I could see them. 

They always come to visit us on the sad day. Just like all the Scotsmen with their very loud bagpipes. 

They do not come to my house. They just station the television. That is good. Ha. 

Our friend Miss Andrea came for dinner tonight. 

So she could have a nice big tasty dinner. Not just cheesie pasta.

She goes to Emmet's nice university too. She does not know anything about the way old Gods. 

She just knows all about the inside of people's heads. Oh well. 

When Zita was at Niamh's far away university she took all the nice ladies out to a tasty all the way from Greece restaurant. 

And they nearly even ate the plates Zita said. 

When you go far away to university you are always hungry. It is known. 

That is why they have nice Mister Hortons stores at universities. 

So you can get tasty donuts and not just starve all away to nothing. It is known. 

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Nine

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

We had a Mister Kettleman's giant cinnamon bun for breakfast. Ha. 

And Craig had some too much coffee.

Then he took my friend Emmet to his other university. He is going to stay there all day.

Because he has lots of long stories to write. And has to find some fat books in the library. 

The other university library does not have way comfy chairs. Or a nice Mister Horton's. Full of hot chocolate. Oh well. Too bad for it. 

But it has lots of interesting fat books for Emmet. Emmet likes fat books.

And then we had extra toasts. Ha. Good for me. 

We watched the hockey game last night. Craig's team even won. Ha.

Because it is a secret present. Maybe it is for me. Maybe.

We only had a little lunch today.

Because of Mister Kettleman's giant cinnamon bun for breakfast. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

It is a very windy day. All the falling down leaves are in the air. Going round and round. 

They must be all lost. Oh well too bad for them. 

After our lunch Craig went away in the silver little car. 

When he came back my friend Zita was there too. Like a secret present. Ha. Good for me.

I was very happy. Ha. Good for us.

We did not watch the far away rascals so much last night. Oh well.

Craig had to have his squeaky clean bath. 

Because of our nice Queen. Now he is not smelly at all. Ha. Good for him. 

This morning Craig told Emmet he is glad we live here. Me too. 

If we did not live here how could I find my house. 

I only know where my house is. It is right beside our beautiful pond. 

The pond is all empty because winter is coming. It is known. 

And my friends the ducks have gone on their very long vacation. Where there is not ever any snow. 

Niamh watched the rascals on television too. Until she was too sad. Emmet too. Oh dear. That is not right. 

The far away rascals surprised everybody. I do not why. Craig told me. Oh dear. 

I do not like surprises so much. Except for secret presents. 

Today Zita is going to visit Niamh on an aeroplane. Right in her far away university. 

Maybe they will have a tasty dinner. And wash all her dirty clothes. Maybe. 

Emmet was very busy writing letters to all his nice professors. All about his next university. That is good. 

Lily and I did not go for our walk yesterday. Oh well. 

Because she had to go to her throw the basketball game. At the dance a lot school. 

Where my friend Niamh used to go. Before she went all away to her far away university. 

We had to have three toasts today. And two cups of real too much coffees. 

Because of the rascals in the other country. I do not know why. 

None of the toasts were too toasty today. That is good. 

The very loud danger danger machine did not make any noise today. That is good. 

My friend Zita called Craig on the telephone after his important meeting. 

She is going out for a tasty dinner with Niamh and all her friends at the far away university. Ha. That is good.

Craig drove Emmet to his stay until late all about old beer class. At his nice university. 

When Craig came home my friend Lily and I went for a nice walk. 

I have to walk with Lily when it is very dark outside. It is my job.

Because I have to guard her from the giant raccoons. Ha. Good for me.

Last night a racoon made holes in our garbage. We had to pick it all up. 

Before Craig and Emmet came back from the nice university they went to nice Mister Kettleman's bagel store. Ha. 

They got tasty all filled up bagels for our dinner. That is good. 

Except Craig he only got giant cinnamon buns. Too bad for him.

Craig is just going to watch the hockey game tonight. Not the news. He said it makes his head hurt. Oh dear. 

He should just go fast asleep. In the big comfy bed. And not watch the television. It is known. 

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Seven

I was very busy today. Guarding the house. Two times. 

Because today is Emmet's day to go to both his universities. 

Craig and I had the special toasty bread toasts for our breakfast. 

We had four pieces. But one was way too toasty. Oh well. 

When Craig and Emmet were all gone away I watched everything from my watching window. Nearly all morning.

The present man brought a present to my house today. I did not bark so much. Ha. Good for me. 

Maybe it is a secret present. Maybe. 

It is nearly get secret presents time. Ha. Good for us.

Today is the time to vote for the rascals day. Not here. It is in the other country. Where some of Craig's friends live. 

Their rascals are not so nice to each other. Oh dear. That is not right. 

You cannot be friends if you are not nice to the other rascals. Oh dear. 

Then you will not have any friends. Oh dear. 

Oh well. Too bad for them.

Craig and Emmet will watch all the rascals on the television tonight. 

But only if the rascals are polite. Ha. Too bad for them.

Mister Bill went there to take pictures of the very important rascals. 

He is going to the big after somebody wins party. Ha. That is good.

Mister Bill makes very good pictures. It is known.

Craig talked to my friends Zita and Niamh today. Ha. That is good. I heard them. On the telephone. Ha.

Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Six

We went to bed early last night. 

Because today is the get up very early day.

Craig and I only had one toast before he drove Emmet to his other university. 

He did not even have his too much coffee. Too bad for him.

My friend Zita called him on the telephone when he was at the other university. In the silver little car.

She is still in way far away Ireland. She was even father away today.

Because she was in Auntie Eileen's car. They were being chased by sheeps. 

They were not even in the city. They were on the full of sheeps roads. Oh dear. 

They hid in a tasty food restaurant. Until all the sheeps went home. Maybe for their lunchtime. Maybe.

 

And they even had tasty desserts. Ha.

 

It was a no sheeps allowed restaurant. That is good. 

Auntie Eileen needs fast sheeps chasing away dogs like Shadow or Miss Maggie. 

They could just sit in the back seat. Ghost dogs. Ha. That would scare away silly sheeps. It is known.

Emmet's professors are writing nice letters for him. For his next university. 

To say he is a very nice boy and always writes his long stories. And they are way way interesting. Ha. That is good. 

Even Professor Jill. Ha.  

He went to her house. And left the important papers in her mailbox. Just for her. That is good. 

When Craig came home we had two more toasts and Craig had some pretend coffee. 

Then we played catch the ball. Then I had to look in all the rooms again. Just in case. 

But Zita and Niamh were still not home. Not even in the basement. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Craig had the too hot inside sandwiches today for his tasty lunch. They are too hot for dogs sandwiches. 

Because they come from way far away Italy. But I got carrot treats. They are not hot inside. 

Soon it will be the remember all the soldiers day. It is a very sad day. And they play bagpipes.

Because wars are sad. Bagpipes make too sad music. It is known.

We have Craig's father's book. From his giant aeroplane. It smells sad. Oh dear. 

Craig and Emmet talked all about Emmet's great great Uncle Austen. At dinner time. 

He rode his very big horse. In the war nobody wanted. 

He had a sword. But he was not a fierce knight. He did not have a castle. He had a giant farm instead.

That is where he lived. When the war was all over. Then he grew lots and lots and lots of wheat. 

So lots of people could have tasty bread for their toasts. Ha. Good for him. 

He had lots of dogs on his farm. Craig did not know their names. Oh well.
