Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twelve

Everybody had a sleep in today. It was a just because sleep in day. 

Because it is a do not go to work day for everybody in my house. Ha. That is a good day.

Everybody should have a do not go to work just because day. It is known.

After our walk last night I was a very soggy dog. Even with my own keep me dry coat on. 

Zita was all soggy too. All the way through. Even her skin. 

So this morning we went on our nice walk when there was only a little bit of windy rain.

Then Craig and Zita and I had our toasts together. Ha. That is right. 

A lady telephoned our house after toasts. She found my friend Niamh's wallet. At the centre building. 

But it was not lost. Oh dear. Niamh knew she left it there. Oh well.

So Craig drove Niamh way way out to the lady's house. To get the not lost wallet. 

They were gone for a long time. When they were all home even cousin Emma was all awake. 

Because it was not morning anymore. Ha.

Everybody was going to Kathy's other house this afternoon. The house beside the giant lake. 

But there was too much rain. And very bright lightning. 

You can not go in the giant lake when there is bright lightning. 

Or you will get all cooked up until you are all done. Like our tasty Irish chicken. Oh dear. 

So everybody went to the big museum full of very old things. And totem poles. Very big totem poles. 

Emmet went too.

Because he knows all about very old things. It is known. 

Craig stayed here. I stayed here too. To mind him all safe. Craig knows all about very old things too. 

Because he is very old too. Ha. 

Craig is a Roman soldier again. The very same soldier as before. But in a different book. That is silly. 

I did not go outside to play catch the ball. There was too much rain. I did not want to get all soggy again. 

So I just held onto my favourite red ball and had a nice nap. 

We are going to have tasty food on a stick for our dinner tonight. I will help cook it on the outside stove.

I got tasty green beans for a treat. Ha. 

Because I the very best making tasty food helper. It is known. 

We had the special pizza store pizzas last night. Nothing fell down. Oh well. Maybe tonight Maybe.

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eleven

I had a very nice day.

Because we had our toasts altogether. At the right time. Ha. Good for me. 

Because Craig did not have a too long sleep in today. Ha. That is right. 

Then Zita and I went for our nice walk. Before there was too much rain.

When we got home Craig was on the patio. Taking away all the nasty weeds. 

Then he put then in a very big can. Just for nasty weeds. Ha. 

Now the patio is nearly all beautiful again. 

Then Zita had to go downtown to get some important papers for a meeting. 

It is not so easy going to way downtown. Now even more streets are all closed. 

Because of the giant sing happy birthday to us party. Even Zita's building will be all closed. 

Because it is too close to the giant party on the hill where the giant clock is. In the very tall tower. 

When she got home everybody was all awake. Except cousin Emma. 

Emma can not find the morning. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

The present man brought Craig a brand new book today. 

It was just another book all about castles. In way way far away places. 

It had lots of pictures. I like the pictures.

I cannot read the words. 

When I went to the little dog school they did not teach us how to read words.

Because they only taught us silly things. Sit here. Stay there. Walk slowly. Come here. Do not jump up. Oh well. 

If they taught me how to read the words I could go to the nice university with my friends Emmet and Niamh. 

And have lots of tasty donuts with Mister Horton too. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Craig and I had tasty toasty bagels for our lunch. From Mister Kettleman's bagel store. That is a nice store. It is Niamh's favourite. 

After lunchtime Zita and the cousins went to buy even more presents. 

And some very big pieces of paper for Emmet's new job. At our centre building. 

He even made very old maps. For his teaching his Dragons game. 

It is a little rain all the time day. We only played catch the ball twice. 

I did not want to be a soggy dog today. Ha. I stayed in and minded Craig. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ten

Everybody had a sleep in today. 

Except for Zita and Niamh and I. 

Because we have lots and lots of important work to do. 

Zita and I had a long walk. Then I had to have a nap on the big bed. With Craig.

Because he was still all fast asleep. So I minded him. 

I did not have any toasts today because it was too late. I do not like late toasts. Oh well. To bad for them. 

Then the nice man came to fix the bathroom in the scary basement. Again.

Because he thought of a better way to fix it all up. Ha. That is good. He is a very quiet man. 

Cousin Emma did not not get all wide awake until lunchtime. Oh dear.

Then she was late. For shopping with her sister. Way downtown. To buy more presents. 

And you cannot go on all the roads downtown. Because of the giant birthday party. 

Maybe they will get all lost and I will have to go and find them. Maybe. 

Zita and Ciara and Emma did not get home until late last night. 

Zita brought Craig a present. From the very old stores in Montreal.

Presents are my favourite. I love present time. It is known. 

It was a little pig. All made of wood. 

It was not like the silly pig that tried to get into the black go fast car. It is a nice polite pig. That is good. 

Then everybody talked and talked until I went to bed. 

Emmet wrote another story for the important book. Now he is all finished. 

His very own name will be on the book. Ha. That is good. 

Craig had some chips for lunchtime. That is not right. 

Chips are for the detective programs. On the television. At night. Oh dear. 

Some fell on the floor. Ha.

When Zita came home we went for a nice walk. Right away. Before our dinnertime. 

Because it is going to be a windy rain afternoon. 

Because we did not want to be all soggy. Ha. Good for us. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Nine

I did not want to go for a walk this morning. I was all fast asleep on the big comfy bed.

But I had to go. Zita said so. Or she would go for a nice walk all by herself. Oh dear. Maybe Zita would get all lost. And not ever find our house again. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

Who would play pull the rope with me. Or make the tasty Irish chicken. Oh dear.

So we went for a nice long walk. Altogether. We did not get lost at all. That is good. 

There was a brand new statue on my walking street. A pretend moose. Ha. That is funny.

With our own flags.

Because it is nearly our own sing happy birthday day. And it is the very special happy birthday day. 

Everybody in the world is going to be here. Oh dear. That is too many people. 

They will all get lost again. And their cars will all go to the far away car jail. Oh dear. 

Even Miss Andrea will be here to take my friend Emmet out to see everybody. And have too many chips. Ha. 

When Zita and I got home Niamh and Mister Clifford were going to her new just for the summer job. She is very busy.

Then Zita and Ciara and Emma got in the black go fast car. So they could go to nearly far away Montreal. 

To see lots of fish. And maybe even beavers. In a big building. I did not go.

Craig and I watched out my watching window. And he had his too much coffee.

Then Miss Devon the make the house all spic and span lady came.

I minded Craig in the den. 

Because it is not so noisy in the den. When Miss Devon uses the noisy machines. 

Emmet is writing more stories for the big book. He is very busy.

Craig did not read anything for our nice Queen today. She is not so busy today. 

Maybe she has a holiday. 

Everybody was in the living room until bedtime last night. 

Talking and talking and they had Irish tea. Except for Craig and Niamh.

Because they only like the too much coffees. 

Then there'd was a strange animal in my bushes. On my own patio. 

But nobody could see it. Only me. Oh dear. People do see so well. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eight

I had a nice quiet day. 

Zita and I had a very long walk this morning. And we played catch the ball. 

Then she had to go to the rascal ladies office. Oh well.

Craig and I had lots of toasts this morning.

Because Zita was all gone to downtown. So he had her toasts. Me too. Ha.

Then Niamh and Mister Clifford went to her new job.

And Ciara and Emma went up to the busy street. All by themselves.

To buy everybody in way far away Ireland secret presents. That is good. Presents are my favourite. 

Emmet is downstairs writing another story for the big government book. 

For the other government in way far away Ireland. 

Not our nice Queen's own government. They can not have a nice Queen in Ireland. 

Because of the way dangerous time. And all of my friend Zita's long time ago family. Oh well. 

I had a nice nap. Until lunchtime.

Then I helped Craig eat his peanut butter sandwich. 

It was a very fat bread from France sandwich. Ha. That is good. 

And after lunchtime he read his new book in the side yard with me. 

Because he was all finished reading for our nice Queen. 

He is still a Roman soldier. Ha. Good for us.

We played catch the ball too. That is good.

I have to get a brand new big outside ball.

Because my ball is not even round anymore. Ha. Good for me. 

Lee and Mister Lyndon and Miss Bruna found Cara. All by themselves. 

In way way far away Japan. And did not get lost forever even once. Ha. That is good. 

They even went to Cara's school. To say hello to all her friends. That is good.

We had very tasty chicken for our dinner tonight. That is good. Zita always gives me little bits. 

For being a big help in the kitchen. I am always a very good kitchen helper. 

I always win the frozen peas game. Ha. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seven

Zita and I had only a little sleep in this morning.

Then we cleaned my side yard spic and span.

Craig had to watch the little noisy fast cars on the television. He did not help. 

Then we all sat in the side yard. Together. For the too much coffees. 

Zita got the outside swinging bed from the basement. 

So people can have nice naps. In the sunshine. Ha. 

When everybody was all fast awake they made skinny pancakes. And bacon. Ha.

Last night my friend Niamh had to call the policemen. 

Because two men had a big fight. Right outside Mister Kettleman's tasty bagel store. Oh dear. 

Then the policeman had to talk to Niamh. To find out who was the nasty person. Oh dear. 

I should have been there. Oh dear. 

Niamh should not go out without me. It is known. Oh well.

After our big lunch all the ladies went shopping.

Because Niamh needs lots of things for her new job. 

To make the dance a lot room as beautiful as can be. 

Then there was lots of giant too much rain. With very very loud thunder. 

I could not even see across my pond. That is not right.

My friend Emmet came up stairs to get me. He does not like to too much thunder either. 

He asked me to be a big help.  So I went downstairs with him. To his very cosy bedroom. 

To keep him company. So we would not be scared together. Ha. That is good.

He is writing his new stories about famous people for the only in Ireland government. I helped him. 

The stories are going to be in a big book. Ha. 

I guarded Emmet and the big comfy bed. All by myself.

We stayed downstairs all afternoon. Until the thunder was all gone. To somewhere else. 

Lee and Mister Lyndon and Miss Bruna have gone to way way far away Japan. On an aeroplane. 

To visit Cara. And go to other places. Maybe they will see elephants. Ha. That is good. 

When the too much thunder was all gone. I watched everything out my watching window. Craig helped. 

Before all the ladies came home we watched the other football game. 

But it was not Craig's team. So we did not care. Ha. 

Then the too noisy thunder came back. So I went downstairs and minded Emmet. Good for us. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Six

It was old friends breakfast Saturday. Ha.

So Zita and I took Craig all the way to the very busy street. 

So he would not be late for his tasty breakfast. Ha. Good for us.

Then we went got our nice long walk. It was a beautiful day outside. 

With lots of sheep clouds. Ha. That is good. 

I did not see Miss Maggie or Mister Shadow chasing them. Oh well. Maybe they had to go to breakfast too. Maybe.

Very early this morning Niamh went to a giant swimming all the time place. All day. 

With all the people from the centre building. Even friends.

Because it was the end of all the old jobs and the start of the new jobs for everybody. 

When Zita and I got home Ciara and Emma were all awake.

Because they had to be all ready to go to Mister Bill's other house beside another big lake.

Not the Mahoney's lake. Mister Bill's lake. The full of fat fish lake. 

Maybe they will have a ride in Bill's sometimes all broken boat. Or Miss Jennifer's very loud fast boat. 

They might even have tasty things to eat. Maybe even some fat fish. Ha. 

I did not go. I stayed here to mind Emmet and Craig. They do not go in boats.

Because they are afraid of fierce sharks. Oh well. Too bad for them.

Emmet went up to the busy street at lunchtime. 

Because Craig was there. They went to a lots and lots of stuff for sale store. Everything was already used. 

Emmet got a beautiful leather bag. For all his important stuff. 

He will need it when he goes to Mister Saint Francis's old far away university. 

Craig did not get anything. That is good. He has too much stuff. It is known. 

Emmet got another little just for the summer job. For the government. In Ireland. 

Writing a big story for them. Ha. That is silly. 

And they will give him real money. Not the just for Ireland money. That is good.

Craig's football team did not win last night. And they did not loose. That is a silly game. 

Maybe everybody will be home tonight and we will watch something new on the television. Maybe with chips. Ha. That will be good. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Five

I had a nice quiet day. Because everybody was very busy.

I took Zita for a very long walk. Before she went to her rascal ladies office.

Then I got Craig all wide awake. We had a Scotsman scone for our breakfast.

We could not have our toasts today.

Because cousin Ciara was fas asleep on the sofa. In the living room. 

Because she had a sore back. Oh dear.

We went into the den and were very very quiet. Ha. Good for us. 

Then I minded Ciara on the comfy rug in the living room. Ha. Good for me.

Then Orlaith was all awake and Emmet. But not cousin Emma. Ha. 

We had to go downstairs to get her all awake. Ha. 

All the cousins were up very late last night. Just talking. I did not stay up. They were too loud. 

I went fast asleep in the big bed. With Craig and Zita. Ha.

Cousin Orlaith is going to the aeroport at dinnertime. Zita will take her in the black go fast car. 

Because she found an aeroplane. It is going to far away Halifax. For her just for the summer job. 

She will not be here to take me for nice walks. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

The present man brought Emmet a brand new book. 

It is a book for his just for the summer job. It is very big. With lots of pictures. 

He was writing scary stories all day. Emmet likes to write stories. That is good.

I just like to hear stories. But not scary stories. I just like stories all about nice people and brave dogs. And maybe elephants too. 

It is play football time again. There are way too many people on my street. Again. And too many cars too. 

The cars just get angry. And honk at everybody. 

Because all the parking places are all gone. Ha. Too bad for them. 

They will be all soggy.

Because it is an all day little rainy day. Ha. Too bad for them.

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Four

I had a very nice quiet day.

Because there is nobody here. At all.

Just Craig and Emmet. They are easy to guard. Ha. 

Because they just read their stories. And Emmet make lots of Irish tea. 

All the ladies are just gone. They went to sleep at the Mahoney's beside the beautiful lake house. 

And go swimming. Ha. And laugh a lot. That is nice. 

They have a giant television in the basement. But when the men brought it to the house it was just broken. Oh dear. 

Now there are only very comfy chairs. Oh well. 

It is not a very scary basement. Oh well. 

I did not have a nice walk this morning.

Because only Craig was here. And awake. Craig and I do not go for nice walks so much.

Sometimes I am a too much fast pulling dog. 

And maybe the go fast chair might fall upside down again. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

We played catch the ball lots and lots of times instead. 

We had very fat crunchy toasts this morning. 

With the special toast bread from way far away France. Ha. That is good bread.

We put lots of butter on our toasts.

In France they do not have enough butter to make their tasty croissants. Oh dear. That is not right.

Maybe we should send them lots of butter. So they will not just starve all away. 

Or they might have to eat not from France bread. Oh dear. Oh dear. That would not be all right.

Craig and I had sausage sandwiches for our lunch. Those are good sandwiches. 

Emmet is very busy. He is writing stories for his new just for the summer job. 

All about dangerous knights and fierce dragons. Oh dear. 

I would not like those stories so much. 

We did not watch anything interesting on the television last night. 

Because Zita was not here to keep us company. Oh well.

Maybe tonight. Maybe. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and Three

Zita and all the cousins came home late last night.

Because they had to have a tasty dinner at a giant wooden hotel. Ha. That is silly.

They saw lots of animals. Not at the wooden hotel. At the other place. Where all the animals live outside. 

They even saw the dangerous wolves and fierce bears. Very close to them. Ha. 

And a fat pig. It tried to get right in the black car too. That is not al right.

Now the black go fast car is all dirty. Oh dear. 

Last night Craig and Emmet went to the old friends breakfast restaurant. 

But not for breakfast. Just for their tasty dinner.

I guarded the house. All by myself.

Zita and I went for a nice long walk this morning. It was even nearly cold today. Ha.

Then we had our toasts with Craig. Only little toasts today. Oh well.

Then Zita had to go to her downtown rascal ladies office. 

And Niamh went to the centre building job with Mister Clifford too.

All the cousins were still just all fast asleep. And Emmet too. Ha.

Craig and I played catch the ball. All by ourselves.

Then everybody was all awake. That is good. I had to mind all of them. All by myself. 

Because Craig had to look at stories for our nice Queen. He could not help me mind them.

Then he had to drive my friend Emmet to his friend's new little apartment. 

They are going to have a because they are all finished at their nice university party. 

And then Craig drove cousin Orlaith to another store. To buy things for her just for a while job in far away. 

Beside Emmet's next university. Mister Saint Francis's nearly old university. 

When they got home everybody got in the black go fast car and went to the Mahoney's other beside the beautiful lake house. 

Everybody is going to sleep there tonight. And jump in the water. All by themselves. 

Craig did not go. So I had to stay here to mind him. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

We had fat toasts for our dinner. Ha. Good for us. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred and One

It is a not so hot outside day today. Zita and I went for a nice long walk.

Then Zita and Niamh had to go to work. Early in the morning. 

Craig had a little sleep in. I minded him. On the big comfy bed. Until he was all awake.

Then we had toasty croissants for our breakfast. 

And then all the cousins were all wide awake.

So they all had tea. 

Because they are from way far away Ireland.

If they do not have tea Craig has to telephone their Nana. He told them. That is silly. 

When Emmet was all wide awake he went to a meeting all about his new just for the summer job. 

Craig is a Roman again. A long long time ago. Hiding in nearly Scotland. I do not know why. 

There are no elephants in Scotland. Oh well. Too bad for him.

Elephants do not go to Scotland.

Because of the noisy bagpipes. It is known. 

And because they only have porridge for breakfast. Oh dear. 

Then Zita came home and all the cousins got in the black go fast car. 

They went to see all the animals. Very fierce wolves and very big dangerous bears. 

And even giant smelly buffalos. 

The smelly buffalos can even lick the car. Oh dear. 

I would not like that. So I could not go. Too bad for me. 

Craig and I had tasty sausage sandwiches for our lunch. That is good.

We played catch the ball a lot today.

Because is is not too hot outside. That is good. 

When we were outside the very very fast and very very loud little aeroplanes flew right over my house. 

I do not know why. I barked at them. They did not hear me. They should not just fly over my house.

They are way too loud. 

We watched the lady detective from way far away Australia last night. On the television. In the den. 

Cousin Orlaith watched with us. Ha. That is good. 

We had popcorn. Ha. Some fell on the floor. Ha.

Mister Saint Newton is a good friend. It is known. 

Day One Thousand Eight Hundred

Zita and I had a very long nice walk this morning. Down past the other pond. 

Where all the beautiful trees live. 

It was not even a bit too hot. That is good. 

We did not have any parties last night. That is good.

So everybody was just tired. We went all to bed early. Ha. Even Niamh. Ha. That is good.

Zita went to the rascal ladies office very early. After our toasts. 

Because she is very busy. Craig and I watched everything out my watching window. 

Then Niamh had to go to her important new job meeting. 

Ciara went too. So she could see the giant centre building. 

Then she went to the too much money coffee store. To see auntie Eileen. On her telephone. Ha. That is silly.

She only got a little bit too lost. So she came home. 

Emmet was just fast asleep. And Emma too. 

The cousins are going to have a nice lunch with Niamh.

Then they are going to the museum with the giant whale. With my friend Emmet. On the smelly bus. 

But not Craig. I am going to stay here to mind him. I will get treats. Ha.

The nice man came to our house this afternoon. 

To fix the all broken floor in the bathroom. 

Not the nice cool floor bathroom. The little bathroom in the scary basement. That is good. 

Another university wants Emmet to go there too. 

But he is going to Mister Saint Francis's far away university. Because he promised them. Oh dear. 

 Cousin Orlaith came back to our house this afternoon. From the Mahoney's house right beside the big lake. 

She was late.

Because Kathy broke her big car and the take your car away truck had to come to catch it. 

So Orlaith and Mister Aidan had to await for catching truck. And just sit on boxes in the truck. 

Not on comfy seats. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Maybe we will watch something on the television tonight.

Because the cheese parties are all over.

Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Nine

I only had a little sleep in today. Oh well. 

I was very tired last night. I have been very very busy. Because of all the parties. I had to guard everybody all the time. 

My cheese party friends went home to their far away city last night. Oh well.

Our cousins are all here. Orlaith and Ciara and even Emma. Cousin Emma has never met me before. 

She is brand new for our house. Ha. 

They sleep in the scary basement. Altogether.

We had another party last night. With cheese too, I guarded everybody. Again. All by myself.

I am the best party minder in the world. Zita told everybody. Ha. It is true. 

It is way hot outside today. We did not play catch the ball so much today.

Because Craig will just melt into a nasty puddle. He said so. 

I do not think that is so true. He is silly sometimes. 

We just stayed in the nice cool house.

Then we had a giant lunch. With pretend toasts. And all the cousins too.

Niamh had to go to teach dance a lot at a sing happy birthday party. At our centre building.

Even in the way too hot. Too bad for her.

Emmet has to write more stories all about the far way people who have giant totem poles. 

For real money. With his friend from way far away Germany. Ha. 

The totem poles have animals all sitting on top of each other. Even dangerous whales. And fierce bears. That is silly. 

Zita took Ciara and Emma in the black go fast car. Maybe to get ice cream treats. Ha. That is good. 

Miss Massie has come to live with my very far away friends Mister Elliott and Miss Gracie. 

To keep them company. She is still only very little. And can only live in a box. 

So she does not just get all squished. Ha. That is good. It is not nice to be squished. 

This afternoon Cousin Orlaith went to the Mahoney's other house. On the very big lake. 

Mister Aidan went with her in the red way fast car. 

Miss Tara will be there too. And Kathy and Richard. All the Mahoneys. Ha. 

We did not have a happy just for Father's Day in our house. 

Because we are way too busy. We will have it later. When our house is all empty. 

Zita says then everybody will go to a nice table sheet restaurant. 

And I will guard the house and get toasts treats. Ha. That is good. 

We did not watch any detectives last night. 

Because of the big parties. Oh well. Maybe we will watch something tonight. 

Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Eight

I was so busy last night. We had a giant cheese party. With everybody. For Emmet's special party. 

Mister Bill took lots of pictures. Of our own family.

 

And pictures of Zita and Emmet and Emmet's other mothers.. 

Because everybody should have extra mothers. It is known.  

But he only has one father. 

Because craig is way old. Ha. 

I had to guard everybody. And all the cheese too. Until very very late.

Cousins Ciara and Emma did not get here until our bedtime. 

Mister Aidan drove them from the very far away aeroport. Right to our house. Ha. Good for him.

They did not go to bed right away. Because they forgot about the time. Because of the way far away in Dublin time.

This morning everybody was awake. Again.

Emmet got lots of presents so he will not just starve to death. At his new university.

My cheese party friends came here and we went for a long walk to see my friends the ducks. Ha.

Then Mister Tom came for tea and tasty treats. Ha. That is good.

Then I had to guard all the cousins Emmet too. 

Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Seven

Today was our very busy day.

Because today Emmet got his very important piece of paper from his nice university. Ha.

Zita took him there. Very early. 

And then she came home and Craig and Zita and Niamh and cousin Orlaith went to watch him. 

I stayed here to guard the house. 

Mister Bill went too so he could take lots and lots of pictures.  

Mister Bill always takes beautiful pictures of our important times. That is nice.

Kathy and Doctor Susan went too. I did not go. It is a not for dogs building. Too bad for me.

Even Emmet's grandad and nana watched him. Right on a computer. In way far away Dublin. Ha. That is good. 

They had bagpipes and a drum. For the very long parade.

Then they gave him his own very special piece of paper. In front of everybody. 

Then Mister Bill took lots and lots of beautiful pictures. Of everybody. But not me.

Because I was at our house. Guarding it. 

There was Kathy and Emmet and Zita and Susan and Craig and Orlaith and Niamh. All together.

And Craig too. Ha.

Our other cousins are coming to visit too. Ciara and Emma. Today.

But they lost their aeroplane. 

Because it just broke. In way far away Paris. And then they had to find another. A not so broken one. 

And maybe they will miss the very big party tonight. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Our friend Aidan is going to drive to the giant aeroport in the very big city. In the very fast red car. 

So he can catch them. And bring them back to our house. 

Cousin Orlaith is going too. So they won't just get all lost too.

My cheese party friends came to the very big party. From far away. In their nearly a truck car. Ha. That is nice. 

Last night I slept on Cousin Orlaith's bed. For a long time. So she would not be scared. 

Because of the scary basement. Ha. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Six

I hada very busy night last night. And a very exciting day. Ha. Good for me.

Last night at dinnertime Niamh had to find all her brand new classes for her nice university. Right away.

Emmet helped her. 

Because it was his nice university too. 

Then our cousin Orlaith and Tera came to my house after dinnertime. In a car.

Because the silly train just broke. Oh dear. That is not right. It was a not very good train. 

So they bought a long drive to our house. Ha.

Then Tara had to go to dinner with Richard. At a very tasty food restaurant. Ha. 

To drink wine with her own father. And church people. Ha. That is silly. 

But Orlaith stayed here to drink her Irish tea and have a sandwich. I got lettuce treats. Ha. 

Orlaith gets to sleep in the other bedroom. In the basement. She is not scared of the basement. That is good. 

Yesterday on our nice walk there was a giant rabbit. Not a little bunny. A giant rabbit.

I did not chase it. Ha. Good for me. 

And we saw the biggest skunk in the whole world. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

So Zita and I went right across the road to the other side. We did not want to sleep outside. 

Because we were all to smelly to go in the house. Ha. Good for us. 

This morning Craig and I had a little sleep in after my nice walk. 

Zita and I did not see anything n our nice before breakfast walk. 

There were no skunks or rabbits today. That is good.

Then Zita had to go to the rascal ladies office and Niamh and Clifford went to her new job.

And then Tara came to our house. To help Orlaith write an all about Orlaith story. Ha. That is good.

Then I took Orlaith and Tara to our busy street. Ha. All by ourselves. For shopping. Ha. 

So they would not get all lost. Ha. Good for me. 

I had to have the choke me to death collar on. Oh dear. 

We had lunch with Niamh. At a too many chips restaurant. Right outside. With all the centre friends too. I had a little nice nap. Ha. Good for me.

Then Tara and I walked all the way downtown. We went to the too much money for coffee store. 

They gave me a nice drink. That is nice. Lots and lots of people told Tara what a nice dog I was. 

And nobody knew I was a beautiful bouvier dog. Too bad for them.

Then I found cousin Orlaith again and we went home. Ha. Good for us.

Craig and Emmet went to his nice university to get his special clothes. 

Because tomorrow his nice university gives him his own very special important piece of paper. Ha. That is good. 

You have to have special clothes or they will not give you the special important piece of paper. That is silly. 

I will stay here to guard the house. When everybody is away at the nice university. Ha. Good for me. 

And then Craig and Zita and Emmet and Niamh and cousin Orlaith will come home for a rest. Maybe even a nice nap. Maybe.

Then we will have a special dinner party. With all Emmet's friends. And mine too. Ha. Good for us.

There are no clouds anywhere. Just all blue sky. 

Mister Shadow and Miss Maggie must be very busy chasing all the sheep clouds to a nice home. Ha. Good for them.

Then Craig and Zita had coffee. But we did not have our tasty toasts this morning.

Because a man came to look at the nearly all broken floor in the scary basement bathroom. 

He could not fix it today. He has to buy some fat pieces of wood. Oh dear.

They did not have very nice good stories anymore. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Maybe they will have to find a new rascal. 

And write brand new better stories. Stories for everybody. Ha. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty Nine

Zita and I had a very nice good morning walk. In the very early morning again. Oh well. 

Because it is a beautiful day outside today. Just like yesterday. Ha.

Just some little flat clouds. They were not sheep clouds.

Maybe Mister Shadow and Miss Maggie are on vacation. 

Or chasing other sheep clouds to everywhere else. Maybe.

Then Zita had to go to the rascal ladies office. So lots of things can be moved all around.

So Zita could not have the too much coffee and toasts with Craig. Oh well. That is not right.

Craig and I had our toasts together. Just us. And we looked out my watching window.

It is good to have help when you have to guard your house. 

I did not see any giant raccoons or even a smelly skunk. Ha. That is good. 

Craig and Emmet watched the television this morning. In the den. 

They had to watch a man talk to a lot of other men. So everybody will know who is telling the truth. 

It is very important to know the truth. So everybody should just tell it. It is known.

I knew it was very important because Emmet was up way early. Ha. Too bad for him.

Craig said some people do not tell the truth because they do not know what the truth is. That is silly. 

Craig took Niamh to see her friend at lunchtime. I stayed here to mind Emmet. And to guard the house.

It is my job. 

Craig drove Niamh back to our centre for her new job. Then he came home. 

But the man was all finished telling the truth today. So we had our tasty lunch. I got a peanut butter treat.

Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty Eight

It is an all sunny day outside.

Zita and I went for a very early morning long walk.

To make sure Craig's mother was all comfy. In her new little apartment. 

Then they came home and had more too much coffee. And some fat cake too. 

Miss Rima came to my house this afternoon. 

Because she forgot her bicycle here. 

It is not as fast as Mister Clifford. It does not have a name. It should have a nice name. 

Maybe it would be a go fast bicycle if it had a nice name. Maybe. 

Zita had to use the noisy blow everything away machine. 

To blow away all the little red flowers. So she could win. The big battle. Oh dear. That is not very nice.

All away from the very noisy make the floors clean machine. Ha. 

I helped him write his stories. For our nice Queen. Good for me.

When Zita came home from way downtown she did not stay. Only for a little while. 

She had to go and get Emmet a brand new little book. With his own picture inside. 

You can not go to way far anywhere if you do not have a little book. 

Nice polite dogs like me do not need little books.

Because we are dogs. Ha. Good for us. 

Zita and Emmet and Niamh have two little books. Craig can only have one. Ha. Too bad for him. 

Because he is only a pretend Scotsman. He is not Irish at all. Ha. 

Zita said that we are having a very big battle.

Yesterday his nice university told him his very important big piece of paper will be very special. Just for him. 

Because of all the very good long stories he wrote. Ha. That is nice.

Because that is where I was from. A long time ago. When we used to mind all the silly cows. Ha. 

And because they have lots and lots and lots of very tasty cheese. And croissants. And tasty crunchy breads. Ha. That is a good country. 

Some countries are not so good. 

Because they are not good listeners. And sometimes they are not even a little bit polite. 

I do not know why. Craig did not tell me. Oh well. I do not live there. That is good.

At lunchtime Niamh had to go to work. She is at the nice food store.

When we got home we had our toasts. We had crunchy toasts today. 

Zita had to talk to people in the new found place. For a long time. They were not rascal ladies. 

They were very nice people. They have their very own very big island. Right in the giant ocean. Where the whales live. Oh dear. 

When she was all finished talking to them she went to the tired and sore store. 

And then Craig went up to the busy street. To his old friends breakfast restaurant. 

So he could have a nice little lunch with Zita. It is in the same building as as the sore and tired store. Ha. 

And it was not even old friends breakfast Saturday. Ha. That is silly.

Last night the smelly skunk came back. When we were watching the new detectives. In the den. I heard it. All by myself.

Craig and Zita could not hear it. Only me. Ha. Too bad for them.

I ran as quick as could be to catch it. But I could not go outside to chase it all away. Zita said so. Oh well.

Niamh and Mister Clifford were home very late last night. 

They were working with the lobsters until very late.

Then we went outside. To take away all the nasty weeds from our beautiful patio.

I got a very big cheese treat from my friend Emmet. Ha. Good for me. 

Emmet has to send in some of his famous stories. For another story contest. 

Maybe he will win this one too. Maybe.

Emmet writes very good stories. It is known. 

His nice university told him he is on the very special list. I do not know why. 

Maybe because he has a very nice dog friend. Maybe.

Today is Niamh's very busy all day. Oh well. 

Mister Clifford stayed at our centre building last night. Inside. So he would not be all soggy.  That is good.

I do not like to be all soggy either. 

Zita and I went for our nice before dinnertime walk. 

Niamh did not have her dinner with us.

Because she was working at our centre building with lots and lots of lobsters. 

Lobsters are very scary. But they are not so big. Ha. Too bad for them.

We watched a new detective program last night. It was not scary. That is good. 

Then Niamh came home from a movie with a very little tree in it. And a raccoon. That is a silly movie. 

So we all went to bed. Ha. That good.
