Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Two

Zita and I got up early this morning. And had a very nice in the sunshine walk.

Then she had to go to work. On her go fast bicycle.

Because Zita has a very important meeting this afternoon. With lots of questions.

I do not like questions so much. 

Like why are you barking or why did you chew your bed. 

I do not like those questions.

Because I do not know any answers. Oh well. Too bad.

And Niamh went downtown too. To work at her beautiful stretching clothes store.

When she got home last night she was very happy.

Because her throw the ball up in the air team won. Ha. That is nice.,

Craig and I did not have a sleep in today. Oh well.

We did not have any cookies for our breakfast either. 

Because they were just all gone. Too bad for us.

We had all toasted hamburger buns for our toasts. And jam too.

Because all the from far away tasty bread was all gone too. Too bad for us.

Craig had two coffees today and then we looked out my watching window.

Now all our patio bushes are full of lots and lots of flowers. With a beautiful smell. Ha. That is good.

Then I had a nice nap. 

We had to keep the back door closed today. 

Because of the frogs in the side yard. 

Sometimes they want to hop into my house. Oh dear. That is not all right.

You cannot play with frogs. They are way too soft. Oh well. Too bad for me.

At lunchtime Emmet went for a walk. To find his favourite icy tea. 

And he went to nice Mister Kettleman’s bagels store.

But he did not get any bagels at all. 

He got a giant cinnamon bun for Craig.

For our own lunchtime. Ha. That is good. 

I helped Craig finish the cinnamon bun. They are giant buns. Ha.

Then I had a very nice nap. Right beside him. 

So I could mind him at the same time. Good for me.

He is a detective in way far away Dublin. With smelly car. 

He is not a fierce Viking anymore. That is good.

I always wait at my watching window until my friend Zita is back home. In our house.

Craig helps me watch. That is good. 

When she gets home we always go for our before dinnertime walk. 

If it is not way too late.

After our walk Mister Tony’s friend brought us Pizza’s. Ha. Those are tasty pizzas. 

I always get the crunchy pizza bits. Good for me.

Thursday 30 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and One 

We did not get up so early today.

Because Zita has to do her work at our house today. 

Because there is too much work to do. And she cannot do it at the rascal ladies office.

Because there are not too many people here. Just me.

Craig even had a little sleep in. Ha.

When he was all awake Zita went to the stretching store. In the black go fast car. 

Craig and I did not have our good morning toasts today. We had cookies instead. Ha. Good for us.

All my bushes are full up with leaves. 


Now nobody can see me when I look out my watching window. Ha. Too bad for them.

My friend Emmet had bagels for his lunchtime.

I helped him. 



Then Miss Morgan came in her little car to take Emmet to the little apartment to play the dragons game again.

With Mister Mike and all their friends from Emmet’s old nice university. 

Emmet says it is a giant game. But it is not the same as his other dragons game. 

Or Niamh’s dragons’ game. They are all different games. I do not know why. 

Maybe they have different dragons. Maybe they get too tired for lots of games. Maybe. Oh well. 

Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store today. It is a stay until late night. Oh well.

So I minded Zita all by my self.

Because Craig was in the den find new stories for our nice Queen. Good for me.

I got cheese toasts from Zita for our lunchtime. Ha. 

And last night Zita and I has peanut butter bagels right on the big bed. Ha. Good for us. 

Then we went to fast asleep. All full up to the top. 

Zita had to talk to people on the telephone. All afternoon.

So I had a nice nap on my own comfy duvet on the big bed. That is a good duvet. 

When I was all fast awake I went into the living room and sat right beside her. Ha.

So she would know it was time for our before dinnertime walk. Ha. Good for me.

So when had a nice walk and then I got crunchy treats on top of my dinner. When we got home. 

I only have to mind Craig and Zita tonight for their dinner. 

They are going to have the from way far away India food. 

A man is going to bring it right to our house. 

There was very loud thunder before our dinnertime. I did not like that. 

And my friend Emmet was not in the basement. Oh dear. 

I always go downstairs to keep Emmet company when there is loud thunder. 

Then we are not so scared. Too bad for me. 

Dogs do not like loud thunder so much. It is known. 

Wednesday 29 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred 

Craig got up too early today. I did not.

Zita and I had a little sleep in. By ourselves. Ha. Good for us.

Today is Zita’s do not go to the rascal ladies office day. 

When Zita and I were all awake we had our toasts with Craig. That is nice.

And then Emmet was all awake too.

Because all his friends came here to play their dragons game. In Emmet’s comfy big bedroom. 

So he went to buy lots of bagels. So they could eat bagels too. 

There were noisy fireman trucks on my other street. Oh dear. And a police car too. Oh dear.

I do not know why. 

I met all of Emmet’s at the front door. I nearly did not bark at all. Ha. Good for me.

Then I minded Zita. She had to write to all the rascal ladies. Again. Oh well.

When she was all finished we went for a very long walk with Professor Jill and Willy the little dog. 

It is a beautiful day outside today. That is why we had a long all over walk. 

When we came home Craig had a giant cinnamon bun for our lunchtime.

He did not have it for his breakfast this morning.

Because I was still all fast asleep. 

He could not have the giant cinnamon bun without me to help. 

They are too big to eat all by yourself. Ha. Good for us. 

Emmet and all his friends had even more Mister Kettleman’s bagels for lunchtime. 

Then Zita went outside to make our front yard as beautiful as can be. I could not help. 

Because sometimes I dig holes where the flowers are. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

So I had a nice nap. On my comfy rug in the kitchen.

Then Zita and I went for our before dinnertime walk. We went early.

Because after Zita went to her stretching store she took Professor Jill and the the little dog to see his doctor.

They had to go in the black go fast car.

Because Willy the dog’s legs are too short to walk so far. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

After our dinner Zita had to go and talk to a bunch of ladies all about her rascal ladies work.

Maybe they want to be rascal ladies. Maybe. 

Or be a rascal lady’s helper.

We had Irish chicken for our dinner. That is Emmet’s favourite. Ha.

Tuesday 28 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Nine 

Zita and I did not have even a little sleep in today. 

Because it is a very busy day at the rascal ladies office. Oh dear. 

And Zita has to stay until late. And not have her dinner here with me. Oh dear.

We only had a little good morning walk.

Because it was a rain all the time morning.

And Craig only had a very little sleep in. Oh well.

So we had the very crunchy toasts. With jam. Instead of a nice sleep in.

Then a man came to take away the old sinks in the basement. 

Because now we have brand new different one. In another new room. 

The man was here before. He remembered me. Ha. That is good. 

But he surprised Niamh. She forgot he was going to be here. Ha.

So she went to Lee and Cara’s house. To hide. 

There was a giant truck in their driveway. Making the too tall trees not so tall. Oh dear.

It did not come to my house. Ha. 

It just stayed on my street and was very very noisy. 

Emmet is going out to dinner tonight. To a tasty restaurant. With his friend Mister Evan. 

They were friends a long time ago. Now Mister Evan is here. So he can visit his own parents. 

He has his own tell you how to make beautiful things company. In Toronto. That is nice.

And today is a work until late night for Niamh. 

So I will only have to mind Craig for our tasty dinner tonight. Ha. That is an easy job.

After our toasts I had a nice nap. Beside Craig. On the comfy living room rug. 

We did not play catch the ball this morning.

Because of the all the time rain.

The nice man put the old very big sinks in my side yard. 

Maybe someone else might want them. Maybe.

When Emmet was awake he had a squeaky clean shower.

Because he is going to a nice tasty food restaurant. 

And they will not let you in if you are all smelly. That is the rule. That is a good rule. 

The make your knives sharp truck came on my street again. It makes a scary noise.

So I have to bark it away. Ha. Good for me.

But I still get in trouble because of too loud barking. Oh well. Ha.

Sometimes it is hard being a dog. It is known.

This afternoon Emmet went to see Miss Sue. To make him all neat and tidy again.

He has to be neat and tidy when he goes to way far away Wales to talk to everybody.

All about his very interesting story about the very long time ago Irish kings. And their doctors. Ha.

He will have to wear his party shoes too. And beautiful socks. Ha. 

Maybe a man will bring us dinner tonight. 

Or maybe Craig will make more peanut butter sandwiches. Oh well. Too bad for us.

Monday 27 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Eight 

We did not get up so early today. That is good.

So Zita and I had a nice slow walk before she went to the rascal ladies office. On her fast bicycle.

Then Craig and I had our toasts.

With brand new from far away bread. It is very good for tasty toasts bread.

So we had three toasts. Ha. With the from France jam. Good for us.

Last night Zita put the bathtub only for birds on our patio. That is good. 



Now the birds will be squeaky clean too. Ha.

After our dinner my pond was so quiet we could see the trees two times. Ha. That is silly.

Last night when Niamh got home after dinnertime she was very tired.

She was so tired she went to fast asleep even before me. Ha.

She did not go to her work today because she thought tomorrow was today. 

But it is only today. Oh well.

So she went to Cara and Lee’s house instead. To talk. 

I do not know what they were talking about.

Nobody told me. 

Craig and I played catch the ball lots and lots of times today. 

After he found some interesting stories for our nice Queen. 

Mister Paul came for a little visit this afternoon. 

But he did not have any too much coffee.

Because he was all full up to the top. Oh well. 

Then Zita came home from the stretching everything until you are too smelly store and we went on our before dinner walk.

It was a very nice afternoon day today. It was a very nice walking day. 

Maybe we will watch the from way far away in the way up north detective tonight. 

He is a very big detective. Ha.

But a nasty man shot one of the police helper dogs. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

We did not like that part. At all.



Sunday 26 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Seven 

We had my friend Craig’s all on fire cake last night. 

Because it was his Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha.


As soon as Niamh got home from her stay until late work we went to the dining room again. 

So we could Sing the Happy Birthday song. That is my favourite song. 

Because I can sing it too. Ha. Good for me.


And we blew all the candles out. Right away.

And then we opened the secret presents. Ha.

Opening presents is my favourite job. 



I gave Craig a bathtub. 

Just for the little birds who come to visit our patio. Ha. That is a good present. Good for me.

And he got a brand new jacket from Niamh’s beautiful clothes store. 

And a machine to hold his flat computer. From my friend Emmet.

So he can find his interesting stories and eat his tasty treats at the same time. That is a good idea.

And brand new T-shirts. With pockets. Ha. 

Sing Happy Birthday days are my favourite. Good for us.

I got little bits of very tasty steak last night. For a special treat. That was good treat.

This morning Zita and I got up way way early.

Because Niamh had to go to help the run for a long time and fast as can be people. 

The beautiful stretching clothes store always helps those people.

Because sometimes they get way too tired. And fall down. And need help.

Just like when Craig’s go fast chair fell over and he was all flat on our street. Oh dear. 

Sometimes everybody needs help. 

I need help when my catching ball goes under the comfy sofa in the living room. Oh well.

We had own made muffins for our lunchtime. 

Then Zita and I went for a lovely long afternoon walk.

Because it is a beautiful day outside today. But it was a bit hot.

So I had a nice nap when we got home. 

But Zita looked at all the clothes. 

Because it is summertime and you cannot wear toasty warm clothes is the summertime. 

Or you will just melt and be all gone. Oh dear.

Then we went for our before dinner walk. We took Professor Jill and Willy the little dog. 

They are our friends. Ha. Good for us. 

When we got home I had another nice nap. Ha. That was a good day.

We did not have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Niamh went to have dinner with her smelly running friends. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Maybe we will watch the detectives from way too far up north tonight. Maybe.

Saturday 25 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Six 

Zita and I got up very early this morning.

So she could talk to her mother and father before they were too tired.

Because of the wrong time in way far away Ireland. Oh dear. 

Craig was all awake early too. We did not even have any too much coffees. Or toasts. Oh dear. 

Because we had to go and look at everybody’s too much stuff. Before it was all gone. 

So Craig and Zita and I went all around looking for interesting stuff. 

Everybody in the world was on our streets. And all their friends too. 


They were all looking for other people’s stuff. Oh dear.

Zita found a beautiful for the living room light. Before anybody else. Ha. For nearly no money.


And lots of people said hello to me. 

Two people knew I was a Miss Bouvier dog. 

Because they even had a Bouvier dog too. It was at their house guarding everything. Ha. 

Maybe it is a cousin. Maybe. 

Then we found old pants for Niamh. So we bought them.

We even saw Professor Jill and Doctor Susan. They were looking for stuff too.

Doctor Susan was taking Mister Ollie for a nice walk. He cannot take her for a walk.

Because he is just visiting and might just get all lost. So doctor Susan took him instead.

But Craig did not find any old music machines. Too bad for him.

Then Craig and Zita and I went home to have our toasts. Ha. Good for us.

And today is my friend Craig’s Sing Happy Birthday day. 

But we cannot sing the happy birthday song until late tonight.

Because Niamh has to work at her beautiful clothes store until way after dinner. Oh well. 

I do not know if you get secret presents when you are very old like Craig. Maybe. Oh well.

When we were outside all our friends said happy birthday to him. 

My friends from very far away Gracie and Masie and brand new Barnaby sent Craig Sing Happy Birthday pictures. On the flat computer. Ha. That was nice. 

We will have an all on fire cake tonight. Zita told me. Ha. 

I love Sing Happy Birthday days. That are my favourite.

In the afternoon it was all rainy. So all the too many people were soggy.

But we were all finished looking for wonderful stuff. So we were not soggy at all. 

Craig and I watched them get soggy from my watching window. Too bad for them.

We did not play catch the ball this afternoon.

Because of the sometimes rain. 

So I had a lovely nice nap. On my own soft duvet on the big comfy bed. Ha. Good for me. 

When Zita came home she had big bags of tasty food. Ha.

And even a bag of Scotsman’s chips for Craig. Maybe it is a Sing Happy Birthday present. Maybe. 

Then we played catch the ball game. 

Because the sometimes rain stopped. That is good.

Emmet put a bag with a secret present in the dining room. My goodness. 

I did not get Craig a secret present. Oh dear. Oh dear. Nobody told me. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

But we are having tasty steaks tonight. 

Because it is Craig’s Sing Happy Birthday day. You always get special treats on your birthday.

I always get very tasty special treats on my birthday. Ha. 

Zita is cooking them outside. So they will be so very tasty. Ha.

After Zita and I had our good morning to everybody walk I had my tasty breakfast.

Today was a go to work very early in the morning day for Niamh. 

And then Zita went to her rascal ladies office early too.

They went all the way downtown on their very fast bicycles. Ha. 

So I minded Craig. On the big comfy bed.

But he only had a very little sleep in. 

Before he had his too much coffee. 

But I had a nice sleep in all by myself.

So I had a very quiet day today. That is good.

Because tomorrow is a very busy day. 

It is my friend Craig’s Sing Happy Birthday day.

And it is the sell all your too much stuff to everybody else day. 

I always watch everybody out my watching window. My street will be full up with people. 

Trying to find wonderful stuff for themselves. Ha.

When my friend Emmet got up and was all awake he went for long walk.

Because it is not all rainy today. 

Maybe he went to do his shopping and find some brand new icy tea.

Craig and I played catch the ball a lot. Before our lunchtime.

We had peanut butter toasts. With honey. That is a good lunchtime. 

Then we played catch the ball again. That was a good afternoon.

When Zita came home we took Professor Jill with us on our before dinnertime walk. 

And the little dog too.

We had an altogether dinner dinner tonight.


Thursday 23 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Four 

Zita and I got up early this morning. So she could go and mind all the rascals.

But we had a nice little walk first. 

Then I minded Craig. But only for a little while.

Because he had to have his too much coffee. Ha. 

So I got up too. Oh well. Too bad for me.

Then we had two tasty toasts. With the nice raspberry jam. Jam is my favourite. And honey too. 

Then my friend Emmet was all awake too. 

He had to go to play his dragons game game early today. 

He even took the smelly bus. Oh dear.

Craig and I looked out my watching window after our toasts. 

It is a not very sunny day outside today. Oh well. 

The very noisy make your knives sharp truck was on my street this morning.

But I barked it all away. Ha. Good for me. 

Niamh had a meeting with a teach you how to drive your car man today. That is good.

Then she went to her beautiful clothes store. On her very fast bicycle. 

Miss Deirdre is coming to visit us. She told Craig. That is good. But not Mister Gene.

Because he is too busy playing his piano for lots and lots of people. 

People always come from everywhere to see him play his piano. That is nice.

Miss Deirdre is too busy too. Finding scary Vikings for the television. Oh dear.

I do not watch that program. It is too scary. Only Craig can watch it. 

Because sometimes he is a Viking too. When he reads his in the afternoon books. Oh well.

After lunchtime Craig went to the neat and tidy store. 

Because he was too furry. I am too furry too. Oh well. 

And when he came home he brought back more of my if I have a sore leg medicine. That is good. 

Then a nice man came to my house. 

He is Mister Yuri. He fixes all the in your own house broken machines. 

Because our stove just stopped working last night. That is not right.

You cannot have toasty delicious croissants if your stove does not work. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

But the nice man fixed it. With a brand new thing. For the inside of the stove. That is good.

Zita was not too late today.

Because she was there too early. Ha.

But then it was a very rainy afternoon. 

So we did not go for our before dinner walk. We did not want to be all soggy. Oh well.

Wednesday 22 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Three 

We did not have a sleep in today.

We took Professor Jill and the little dog on our good morning to everybody walk instead.

It was a very beautiful day outside today. That is good. The trees are almost full up again. Ha.

And when we got home Miss Tamina and Miss Clare were right there.

Because it is the make the house as clean as can be day. 

Our beautiful flowers are all ready now. That is good.


Then Craig and Zita went to the tasty good for you food restaurant. For their breakfast. 

So I stayed here to guard everybody. 

Because it was a beautiful as can be day outside I had a lovely nearly a nap in my side yard. Ha. Good for me.

Last night Lee and Cara came to my house. After dinnertime.

So Emmet could help them become brand new people. For a brand new dragons game. 

Becoming brand new takes a very long time. And lots of treats. And Irish tea too.

Today was Niamh’s help the stretching people. On our government’s own front lawn. 

All the people brought their own little rugs. Ha. That is a good job.



At lunchtime Zita cleaned the side yard with the noisy blowing everything away machine.

I had to stay inside. Minding Craig. 

But I was a too much barking dog again. Oh well. 

Then Zita put even more beautiful flowers in the front yard. 

And I helped her make my side yard as beautiful as can be. Ha. Good for me.

And we put up our own made not really a door. To keep the nasty bugs outside. 

But I can just walk through it. Ha. That is a good door. 

Emmet had a very quiet day today.

Because he has been busy every day. All the time. Oh dear.

Now he has to find a place to live. For a long time.

Because his next new university is in way far away Cork. In way far away Ireland. Oh dear.



And it has to be a not too nasty place. With no bugs. Zita said. Oh dear. 

All our from way far away Ireland cousins will help. That is what our cousins do. That is good.

When we were all finished in my side yard Zita and I went for our before dinnertime walk.

It was still almost sunny outside. That is good.

Then Zita went to her stretching until you are smelly store. Oh dear.

Then she drove Niamh to Miss Georgie’s house. To get free tickets to a loud music show. Ha.

When she was all back home we had our delicious dinner. 

But just Craig and Zita and Emmet. Oh well.

We did not watch any detectives last night.

Because Zita was way too busy with rascal ladies work all night. Until bedtime. That is not right.

We did not have chips. Too bad for us. 





Tuesday 21 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Two 

Craig and Zita and I got up early again this morning. I do not know why. Oh well.

It is not a rainy day today. That is good.

So Zita and I had a nice walk all around walk. 

There were no all lost people everywhere this morning.

Because it was too early for them. Ha. Good for us.

When we got home Craig and Zita and I had our toasts. 

With two kinds of jam. That was a good breakfast.

Then Zita had to do more rascal ladies work. 

But she stayed at our own house. To do her work.

And Craig was just in the den finding interesting stories for our nice Queen.

So I minded Zita from underneath the dining room table. All morning. By myself. Ha. 

I had a quiet day.

When Niamh got up she had to go to the beautiful hands store. 

Before she went to the stretching clothes store. 

But at lunchtime I had to go and get Craig. In the den.

Because he forgot it was my lunchtime. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

And then he forgot it was his lunchtime too. 

So he did not make the round toasts until very late. Too bad for me.

Zita talked to Auntie Eileen this morning. For a long time. On the telephone. 

After Zita talked to all the rascals for a very long time we went for our before dinner walk.

In the lovely sunshine. Ha. That is a good walk. 

Only Craig and Zita and Emmet and I will have a tasty dinner here tonight. Oh well.

I will mind everybody anyway. 

We have a new bag of chips. Ha.

Monday 20 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety One 

We had a little sleep in today.

Because it is a holiday today. For our nice Queen’s Birthday. Ha. 

Zita and I took Professor Jill and Willy the dog on our good morning walk.

All the beautiful flowers are everywhere. We saw them. 

Because it is not so cold anymore. Flowers do not like the cold so much.

And all my patio bushes are all as green as can be too. Ha.

When we got home we had toasts with Craig.

But not Emmet and Niamh.

Because they were all fast asleep until our lunchtime. Ha.

I looked out my watching window for a long time.

At all the lost people. Some even took pictures of our flowers. 

And there were lots and lots of cars everywhere. 

They were looking for places to park. But they are all gone. 

And them take them away truck was on my street too. Ha. Too bad for them.

At lunchtime Niamh went to the Mahoney’s house. To give the cat its dinner. 

So it would not just be all dead. Oh well. Kathy asked her too be a cat helper. 

Because all the Mahoneys are all away. In lots of different places.

Mister Aidan is in way far away Greece. 



Maybe eating tasty treats. 

They have lots and lots of tasty treats stores in the way far away. 

Even more than here. Too bad for us. 

And Miss Tara is in another way far away place. I do not know where.


Because she just goes to just everywhere. All the time. Oh well.

Zita talked to her own mother and father this morning. On the telephone. For a long time.

Then we had toasty bagels for our lunchtime. 

Emmet’s friends came to my house this afternoon. 

So they could play their dragons game altogether.

Maybe they will have bagels too. I think bagels are their favourite. 

Then Miss Tarryn came to my house. On her bicycle. 

So she and Niamh could go for a nice ride on their bicycles. 

In the beautiful sunshine. Ha. That was a good idea. 

Niamh took her all fixed up like brand new fast bicycle. Ha. 


And they did not even fall off one time. That is good.

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight. Maybe.

Zita and I went for our before dinnertime walk. With all the lots of lost people. 

But we did not go where all the lots and lots of flowers are. 

Because of the way too many people. 

So we just walked on the just around my house streets. 

Maybe we will watch a not very scary detective tonight. That is a good idea..


Sunday 19 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety 

It is sleep in Sunday today. And we even had a little sleep in.

And when we were fast awake Zita and I went for our good morning before breakfast walk. 

But it was a not so very nice walk today. Too bad for us.

Because of the way too many everywhere squirrels. 

You cannot have a nice quiet in the morning walk when squirrels run right in front of you all the time. 

So we came home and had our toasts with Craig. Oh well.

Then Zita went to the tired and sore store on her bicycle. 

I stayed here to help Craig play catch the ball. Good for me.

When Zita came home she had brand new green beans. 

I got one. To make sure it was very tasty. Ha. That is a good job. 

She went and visited the nice farmers. And got the tasty food for us.

Then we had the pretend toasts for our lunchtime. With bacon. And maple syrup too. Ha.

Emmet was all awake so he had his tasty lunch too. 

He was downstairs listening to some very interesting stories. And drinking his Irish tea.

He did not have a big sleep in today.

There were lots of lost people on my street today. Looking for the beautiful flowers.

They think my little pond is the lake. My pond does not have any beautiful flowers. Just fat fish.

The little lake has all the new beautiful flowers. Not my own pond.


We only have our side yard flowers. They are not the for lots of flowers for everybody flowers. 

We do not go to see the beautiful flowers. 

Because of the way too many people. We have nice walks up to Kathy’s street. 

Or we go to the other pond. There are not so many people there.

Tonight Emmet is going to Mister Mike’s and Miss Morgan’s apartment. 

To watch the dragons and wolves program. 

But it is the very last program. Oh dear. 

Maybe it was a too scary program. I do not know. 

I do not watch it. The giant dragons are too scary. 

We have two dragons. General Rhome Clay and Mister Ti’er Ceri. But they are not scary. 

Because they are Craig’s very old friends. That is nice. 

Mister Ti’er Ceri is from way far away Wales. He is silver and does not talk so much. 

Maybe My friend Emmet can visit his family. And bring them a present.

When he is talking to everybody at the university in way far away Wales. Maybe. That would be nice. 

Ti’er Ceri’s family would not just right away eat Emmet all up. 

Because now he can speak just like a way old Welsh person. 

That is how dragons talk. It is known.

Craig and Zita went for a long before dinnertime walk. And I went too. Ha. Good for me.

We went to both of my ponds. There were lots of lost people all around. 

And two big nasty geese. I do not like geese so much. They scare my friends the ducks.

There are lots of flowers at the other pond. We saw them. 


We saw Professor Jill too. Right in front of my house. When we came home.

Then Zita had to go to a special store. To get some string for her fix our clothes machine. 

I stayed here to guard my friends Craig and Emmet. And to have my dinner too. Ha. 

But then there was lots of way too loud thunder. Oh dear. 

But I got under the covers on the big bed. Right on Craig’s fat pillow. Ha. 

Thunder cannot find you when you are under the covers. It is known.

When Niamh is all home from the cottage we will have another altogether dinner. That is good. 

Maybe we will have chips tonight. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Nine 

Zita and I went for our good morning to everybody walk with Professor Jill this morning. 

And the little dog too. 

Now there are lots and lots of beautiful flowers all over. For the all lost people to see.



They are even all over where we go for our nice walks. I saw them today. Ha.

Today is Craig’s go to his old friends breakfast restaurant Saturday. 

But I did not take him today.

Because Zita went to breakfast with doctor Susan. 

Even before Craig went out with Mister Paul to their breakfast restaurant. 

And my friend Emmet was all awake too.

Because he had to play the dragons game with his friends from far away Antigonish. 

On the big television.

Because Emmet is in charge and they cannot play if he was still fast asleep. Oh dear.

So I stayed here to guard the house. All by myself. 

When Craig came home I had a lovely before lunchtime nap. Ha.

Then Zita came home too. 

But she had to do some rascal ladies work. Even on a Saturday. That is not all right.

When Emmet’s dragons game was all finished he had a nice nap too. 

Because he has to go out again tonight. To another party. Oh dear. 

My friend Emmet does not like parties so much. 

Because of the too many people at parties. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

This afternoon Zita went to visit Craig’s mother in her little apartment. On her go fast bicycle. Ha.

Craig and I had a nice quiet day. We played catch the lots of times. 

When I was not looking out my watching window. Or having a nice nap. 

When Zita and I went for our before dinner walk we saw a very giant raccoon. 

Right on the sidewalk. Zita and I pretended we did not see it. Ha. Good for us. 

We cannot have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Niamh is still at the cottage. With her lemon friends.

So I will only have to mind Craig and Zita and Emmet. That is a not very hard job.

Then Emmet is going to the Sing Happy Birthday party. 

He has bottles to bring with him. In a big bag. 

Maybe we will watch the from far away in Spain detectives tonight. 

We have a brand new bag of the delicious kind of chips. I saw them. Ha. Good for us.

Friday 17 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Eight 

Craig and Zita and I got up early this morning. I do not know why. 

I took Zita for a nice walk before the go fast bicycle took her way downtown. To mind the rascal ladies.

It was a no sunshine at all day this morning. Too bad for us.

Craig and I had a delicious cinnamon bun for our breakfast. 

It was a giant cinnamon bun. From Mister Kettleman’s store. 

A man on a bicycle brought it to us last night. And a tasty bagel sandwich too. For our dinner. 

But the cinnamon bun was not for our dinner. It was for our tasty breakfast. Ha.

My friend Niamh went to a cottage today. At lunchtime. With her stretching clothes store friends.

They went in a no noise at all car. Ha. 

They are even going to sleep there. In the cottage. Oh dear. 

Yesterday Mister Paul fixed our light. After he had his too much coffee with Craig. That is good.

Today Emmet is going to visit all his friends from his old nice university. 

All his friends who know all the interesting things about the really old times. In the way far away places. 

And they are going out for an altogether dinner. At a too many chips restaurant. With beer too. Ha.

So there will only be Craig and Zita for me to mind.

Maybe they will go out for a tasty dinner together too. 

Because it is our nice Queen’s Sing Happy Birthday day holiday. Ha.

That is a good holiday. 

Craig and I had the special very crunchy for toasts bread for our lunch. 

With just lots of delicious honey on top. That is a good lunchtime. 

Then I little bird fell down dead on my patio. Oh dear. That is sad. 

My friend Emmet dug a hole for it. 

So it could not be bothered when it was all dead. That is good.

In long long time ago Ireland they made giant stone houses for the just all dead people. 

So they would not be bothered either.


My family and cousin Simon too went right inside the buildings. They were all empty. 

They even saw the little ones. And they were all empty too. That is good.


But it was a long time ago. Even before I was living here in our house to mind them. Oh dear.

After lunchtime Emmet went to our nice bank. Up on the busy street.

To give them the money from from important prizes. And get bottles of wine too. 

For Mister Morgan’s Sing Happy Birthday party. That is good. 

It is a tomorrow pay. Not today.

Maybe we will watch the from far away detectives tonight. 

We have a very big bag of chips. Ha. 

Thursday 16 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Seven 

I got up early this morning.

Because Zita drove Niamh to the stretching clothes store. 

But they were nearly late. 

Because the police stopped all the cars everywhere.

Because someone hit a man on his bicycle and then ran away. Oh dear. 

And the poor man died and went to heaven. 

I do not know if he had a nice dog waiting for him. I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. He will know.

The police will catch the run away man. And he will be in very big trouble. That is good.

Craig did not have a sleep in today. But I did. Ha.

I did not get all up and fast awake until the croissants were all toasty warm. Ha. Good for me.

Then Craig and I looked out my watching window. Together. 

It is nice to have friends to help you with your jobs. 

Then I had my good morning nap. Ha. On my comfy rug. With my Scotsman’s blanket. 



We cannot have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Zita and Niamh are going to a delicious food restaurant tonight.

Because it is Miss Ginny’s Sing Happy Birthday day. 

So they are going to have a restaurant party. Ha. With all of Miss Ginny’s friends. That is nice.

And Emmet is going to play the dragons game at his friends little apartment. 

And have dinner there too. If he does not just forget.

So I will only have to mind my friend Craig tonight. That is an easy job. 

Maybe we will have some chips for our dinner. Ha. 

When Craig was looking for interesting stories for our nice Queen he found a castle. 

And it is for sale. To just anybody. 

A real castle. In way far away Scotland. In a giant forest. And an island too. 


But maybe the forest is full of fierce wolves. Or lions. Maybe. Oh dear. 

Maybe a man has to play the bagpipes all the time. To scare them away. Oh dear. 

I would not like that so much.

But it costs too much real money. That is good. 

I would not like to live way far away from my own house. 

And my beautiful pond. 

And all my friends. 

And my nice dogs get treats Bank. Oh dear.

It is good Craig is not going to buy the way far away castle. It is known.

A nice man brought us our delicious dinner tonight. Ha. 



Wednesday 15 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Six 

I had a little sleep in today. So did Craig and Zita.

Because it is Zita’s do not go to work day today. Ha.

We went for a very little walk this morning. After our toasts.

My foot is not sore at all today. Good for me.

But Zita said we had to be careful. So I had a nice quiet day today. 

Being careful is not so much fun. Oh well.

Emmet went to Mister Kettleman’s tasty bagel store. Before lunchtime.

Because lots of Emmet’s friends came to our house to play the dragons game. 

Downstairs in Emmet’s very big bedroom.

And then they had a delicious lunchtime. Ha. That is good. 

Zita drove Niamh right downtown. To our giant government building. 

For her everybody stretching classs. She took her new just for stretching rug too. Oh dear. 

It is the comfy rug with the little holes in it. Oh dear. 

Maybe they were my chewing a bit holes. Too bad for me. 

Then I had a nice nap. 

It is only a bit nice outside today. 

But we have beautiful flowers in our own patio. Lots of them. Ha. Good for us.

After lunchtime Zita went to the sore and tired store.

Because of the too many rascal ladies telephones. Oh dear. 

You cannot listen to your telephone at the sore and tired store. It is the rule. Ha.

Emmet’s friends were here all day. Eating lots of bagels and the special bagel cheese. 

We had an altogether dinner last night.

We will not have another one tonight.

Because Emmet and all his friends are going to play a different game. 

They have to go to some all locked up rooms. 

And then they have to find their way outside. All by themselves. That is a silly game.

I could not go. 

Because it is too easy for dogs to win the game. 

We can just smell our way to the outside. Ha. Good for us.

We watched the not very scary detective last night. 

But we did not have any chips. Oh dear.

Tuesday 14 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Five 

We had a dinner party last night. With Kathy and Richard. And Emmet too.

It was not a cheese party. Just a delicious cooked outside dinner party.

And everybody talked and talked until way past my bedtime. 

So I minded everyone from my comfy in the kitchen bed. Good for me.

Emmet is glad to be all back home.

Because of all the very interesting at the dining room table talks we always have. That is good.

My foot is not even too sore today. That is good too. 

I did not have to have my special just for a sore foot medicine. Ha.

Craig still has to take sore knee medicine. Too bad for him.

Emmet and Professor Jill went to a late late breakfast today. 

They went to the silly lots of special porridges restaurant. Ha. 

Because Professor Jill wanted to talk to Emmet all about his special prizes. 

And his next in way far away Cork university. Professor Jill went to lots of universities too. 

But not in way far away Ireland. Too bad for her.

Craig only went to our nice university. But Zita went to Mister Saint Paul’s university too. 

I do not go to university. I am too busy minding everybody. It is my best job. 

Before she went to the rascal ladies office Zita and I only had a little nice walk today. 

Because it is an all the time nearly rain day. So we were soggy when we got home. Oh well.

When Craig was fast awake we had two croissants for our breakfast.  With butter too. 

But we did not have jam today. I do not know why. Oh well.


We made them all toasty warm in the oven. Good for us.

And we had the round toasts from England for our lunchtime. And we had jam too. Ha. Good for us.

Niamh had a croissant for her lunchtime. But it was way too toasty. 

So she could only eat the bottom part. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Then she went to her beautiful clothes store.

Maybe she will be home for an altogether dinner tonight. Maybe.

 And we have a giant bag of chips. Ha.

So we can watch new detectives tonight. That is good.



Monday 13 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Four 

I had a very quiet day today.

Because I slipped on Doctor Susan’s steps this morning. 

On our good morning to everybody walk. 

And I hurt my front foot. Too bad for me.

When I got home Craig gave me some for a sore foot medicine. 

Because I cannot walk so fast with a sore foot. Oh dear. 

And then we had our together toasts. 

Before Zita and the go fast car went to the rascal ladies office.

Then I had a nice long nap. In the living room. Beside my friend Craig.

You have to have nice long naps for sore things to get all better. Craig told me. So it is true.

He still has a sore knee too. Just like me. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

I had a very long nap. Until Niamh and Emmet were all awake too. Ha.

Craig told them about my sore foot. They gave me hugs. 

That is what your friends do if you are a bit not so well. And they are my best friends. It is known.

I helped Craig with his lunchtime croissant. He said I was a big help. That is good.

Then I had another lovely sleep. Right in front of the den.

Because Craig was there. Looking for some stories. 

So I minded him. Even when I was a bit asleep.

We did not play catch the ball today. We played carry the ball all around instead.

That is not such an interesting game. Oh well. Too bad for us.

Niamh walked all the way downtown today. To her lovely clothes store. 

It was a just because walk.

And Emmet went for a long walk. It is not so very warm today. Oh well.

Today is our cousin Emma’s Sing Happy Birthday day. Now she can go out to bars.

We got up very early this morning. 

So Zita could drive Niamh to the beautiful clothes store. 

When she was all back home we had a very nice walk. It is nearly a nice day outside today.

Then Zita went to the tired and sore store.

I kept Craig comfy warm in the big bed. We had a little sleep in. 

Because Craig had to listen to his why Scotsmen are important book. Oh well.

When we were all fast awake Craig had his too much coffee and I had a nice nap.

Then Zita came home. With a giant box of very big croissants. From the too much of everything store.

So we had tasty croissants for our lunch. 

Emmet give Zita a present. A chocolate bar and a special bag for our bread. 

Instead of nasty plastic bags.

Because it is the just for your mothers day. 

Emmet and Niamh hate plastic bags. 

Because the nasty bags kill the whales dead. And turtles too. That is not all right. Oh dear. 

People should not have plastic kill lovely animals bags. It is known.

Last night Craig and Zita and Emmet went to an outside dinner at Lee and Cara’s house. 

With Lyndon and Miss Bruna. 

I guarded the house all by myself. When Niamh came home she went there too.  Oh well.

Then Craig and Zita and Emmet came home. So we could go to our comfy beds.

Our cousin Lucy won a prize. In way far away Dublin.

Because she is the best fast running around with a fat ball player. Ha. That is good. 

This afternoon Zita made the big bedroom as clean as can be. 

And Craig went outside and shook all his stuffed animals until they were not even a bit all too dusty.

Then Zita went outside to make the garden beautiful.

And to tell all the lost people where the lots and lots of flowers are.

Then she took Emmet to Mister Mike and Miss Morgan’s apartment. In the go fast car.

So he could watch the scary dragons and wolves program with all his friends.

Saturday 11 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Two

Craig went to his old friends breakfast restaurant nearly by himself.

Because Zita and I went on our walk together. We did not think he was going to breakfast today.

But Mister Paul came and they went together. And they did not get lost at all. Ha. That is good.

Emmet nearly scared Niamh right to death last night. 

He snuck up the stairs when she was making a very very late at night tasty treat. Ha. 

But she did not hit him with anything. That is good. 

When Craig came home from his old friends breakfast Zita went out to make the garden beautiful. 

It is a big job to keep everything beautiful and neat and tidy.

Our other side of the house garden has lots of very beautiful flowers. Even lots of red ones too. Ha.

We saw them on our good morning walk. 

Today is the beginning of our beautiful flowers party. 

When people from all over everywhere come to look at our city’s beautiful flowers. 

And then they get all lost too. Oh. Well. 

People kept asking Zita where all the beautiful flowers were. 

When she was outside making our garden all beautiful as can be. Oh well. 


We have the very beautiful flowers everywhere. Even in front of Professor Jill’s own house. 

The nice people from way far away Holland give us kabillions of flowers. Every year. 

Because of all our brave soldiers who died there helping them. In the very big sad war. Oh dear.


That is how they say thank you. And so we do not forget about the soldiers.

Because now the brave soldiers are very old. Or just dead. Like Craig’s father. 

And all his friends on his very big aeroplane. Oh dear.

This afternoon Craig and Zita went to visit Craig’s mother and give her presents.

Then I minded Craig when Zita went to the rascal ladies office. 

But we did not have a nice sleep in. We had warm from the oven croissants instead. Ha

We only played catch the ball one time.

Because of the too much rain. 

So we had a nice quiet all the time day.

My friend Emmet had a nice sleep in. 

Because now he does not have to talk to lots of people about his next university anymore.

Because he is going to the nice old one. In way far away country Cork. 

But all the cousins say you cannot understand people from there. I do not know why. Oh dear. 

When all the rain was gone Emmet went for a nice walk. 

Maybe to get his favourite icy tea. In the huge boxes. Tea in boxes. That is silly. Oh well.

When he got home he was as soggy as could be. 

So he had to put on his comfy pyjamas. Ha. 

We had an altogether dinner tonight. And we had own made pizzas.

Niamh made the pizza. All by herself. I could not help.

I took Zita for a little good morning to everybody walk this morning. 

But it was not very much sunshine at all day today. Oh well.

Then Zita and her fast bicycle went all the way downtown. 

To her office. To mind everybody. 

I kept Craig company on the big comfy bed. But we did not have a big sleep in. 

Because Craig had to have some too much coffees. Oh well.

Then we had a toasty bagel. 

And then Craig had another too much coffee.

He found some very interesting stories for our nice Queen today. That is nice. 

I looked out my watching window.

And the ducks are all there too. Ha. 

Then I had a nice nap.

Emmet is going on the smelly bus to mister Mike’s little apartment this afternoon. Oh dear.

They are going to play their dragons game. With their friends.

And Niamh is not going to work until late. So she has to stay until late at night too. Oh dear.

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Oh well. Too bad for me.

When Zita got home she was only a little bit soggy. 

But we went for our before dinner walk anyway. Ha. 

We were only a little bit too soggy. But I had to stay in the kitchen with Craig.

There was only Craig and Zita for our lovely dinner tonight. Oh well. 

Before dinnertime Zita went to the store so she and Emmet can have milk for their Irish tea. 

And she got chips too. Ha.

Wednesday 8 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy Nine 

We had an all on fire cake last night. Ha.



Because it was Zita’s Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha.

And we opened all the secret presents too. Ha.

I gave my friend Zita an old bottle of not yet nearly wine to put on delicious salads. 

It is from way far away Italy. It very old. But not as old as Craig. Ha. 

Then Craig and Zita and I went to sleep. Ha. 

But not Emmet and Niamh. They had to talk to their friends. Oh well.

This morning Zita and I went for our good morning walk with Professor Jill.

She wanted to know all about Emmet’s new university. And all his important prizes. Ha.

When we got home all of Emmet’s friends came here too. 

To play the dragons game and have tasty Mister Kettleman’s bagels. 

But then I had to go to see my nice Doctor Weller. At my little hospital. 

Because I had not seen him for a long time. And he wanted to see me. That is nice.

But I had to go in the black go fast car. I do not like it when the the car moves. 

Because then I get a bit scared and I bark too much. And too loud.

The car should just stay nice and still. In my driveway. 

Doctor Waller told Zita I was perfect. Ha. And that I was a very polite dog. That is good. 

And he gave me brand new medicine. 

So some nasty little bugs will not bite me until I was sick. Ha. That is good medicine. 

Craig and I played catch the ball lots of times when I got home. 

Then I had a very nice nap. 

Going to my little hospital always makes me tired.

After lunchtime Zita and Niamh and the black go fast car went to practice driving all over. Ha.

And then my friend Emmet went to the Mahoneys. 

So Richard could sign important papers for Emmet’s little I am from Ireland too book.

I stayed here to mind Craig. 

And look out my watching window until they were all home. It is my job.

We had an altogether dinner tonight. That is good. 

They are my favourite dinnertimes.

Maybe we will watch the detectives from way way far away Australia again.

Tuesday 7 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy Eight 

My friend Emmet won another very special prize. Ha.

He woke us up last night after we were fast asleep to tell us.

He was very excited.

Because his giant story won the best giant story from everywhere. 

And they gave him even more real money as a prize. Ha. That is good. 

So he got two prizes yesterday. That was a good day.

Then we went back to fast asleep. 

Last night Craig and Emmet went to the big lots of beers and tasty food restaurant on the busy street.

And then Zita and Niamh were there too. 

So they could have an altogether special dinner. 



Because the in way far away in Cork university wants Emmet to go there so he can become a Professor. Ha.

I could not go. It is a not even for very polite dogs restaurant.

So I stayed in my own house to guard it from the giant raccoons. 

They knocked over our big garbage can. And we did not even hear it. Me either. Oh dear.

Maybe I am getting old. Like my friend Craig. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

The beautiful stretching clothes store told Niamh that they want her to teach the very special class. 

It is the everybody together goes stretching at lunchtime.

Right on the front lawn of our giant government building. 

Because she is the very best teacher.

And everybody has to bring their own little comfy rug. 

Like the little rug I chewed up a bit. When it was very brand new. Oh dear. 

That was not so good day for me.

And now today is Zita’s own Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha. That is a good day.

We had a nice early in the morning walk. But we did not even even a little sleep in.

That is not right.

You should have a big sleep in on your Sing Happy birthday day. It is known.

She took her go fast bicycle downtown today.

Because she had a very busy rascal ladies office day.

When Emmet was all wide awake he went to the special bake delicious treats for you store. 

So now we have a Sing Happy Birthday day cake. That is good.

And even a secret present for me to give to my best friend Zita. Ha. That is good.

But we will not have the delicious cake until late tonight.

Because Niamh has to work until after dinnertime at her beautiful clothes store. Oh dear. 

Then we will give Zita the secret presents. Presents are my favourite. 

There are ducks in my pond today. 

And the pond is not full up to the top. They are silly ducks.

And then there was a man in a very little boat. People are silly. 

Mister Paul came over for a visit. So he could shake my friend Emmet’s hand. 

Because of his going to way far away Cork. Ha.

Emmet said he had a very comfy nice long sleep last night. That is good. 

Me too.


Monday 6 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy Seven 

We did not have any time for sleep ins today. 

Because Miss Tamina and her friend came to make our house spic and span. Oh dear.

So Craig and I had early toasts. 

As soon as Zita went to the rascal ladies office. On her fast bicycle.

I had a big nap. Outside in my side yard. It was not even a bit cold outside today.

Emmet and Niamh were still fast asleep when Miss Tamina was here. Ha.

This morning our pond in nearly all full of water. 

And when we had our toasts we even saw some ducks. Swimming. Ha.


But there were some silly dogs in the water. And it is not the nice all clean water. 

It is still the old nasty winter water. Too bad for them.

Tomorrow is Zita’s own Sing Happy Birthday day. 

Our pond is always full up to the top on Zita’s Birthday day. It is the rule. 

That is a good rule. It is known.

There will be presents. I love presents. They are my favourite.

This morning Craig watched the scary dragons and wolves program. But not all of it.

Because one of the fierce dragons was killed. By the nasty queen. Oh dear. 

And then they cut off the nice lady’s head. That is not all right .

That is not such a good program. Craig should not watch it. 

Emmet was sad about the dragon too. Oh dear.

We had toasty buns with peanut butter and honey too for our lunch. 

Then Emmet and I had Irish tea and Mister Kettleman’s delicious all toasted bagels for my other lunch.

When we were finished he went downstairs to write people about his next university.

But one had already written to him. And they asked him to go to their old university. 

In way far away Ireland. In Cork.



It is not in Dublin. And it is not in cousin Orlaith’s Galway. It is another not way too big city.  


So he can be a professor. Just like professor Jill and professor Alex. Ha. 

And Cork university has lots and lots of his favourite as old as can be stones. 

With writing on them. The very same writing as on Emmet’s own arm. Ha. 

That will be a good university for Emmet. It is known.

But then my friend Emmet is going to be in way far away Ireland. 

With all his cousins. And Auntie Eileen too.

And he will not here with me. In his cosy big bedroom. Oh dear. I will not like that so much.

I cannot be his best minding dog if he is not here. Too bad for us.

And then his old university gave him some more money. For his visit to Wales. 

To talk to everybody all about very old Irish people. Ha. 

Emmet was very busy today. So he went for a nice walk to get his icy tea. Ha.

That is what he always does when he is too busy. Ha. Good for him.


Sunday 5 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy Six 

We had a little sleep in today.

I kept Craig company on the big comfy bed when Zita went to the tired and sore store.

Then we got up. 

When Zita got home everybody was all awake so we had our altogether lunch. 

Now there is brand new water in our own pond. Soon it will be all full up to the top.

Then my friends the ducks will have a nice place for their naps. 

Underneath the trees. That is good.

Today is Zita’s mother’s Sing Happy Birthday day. 

So Zita and Emmet talked to her on the telephone. Not on the see you too computer. 

We had a very quiet day today. 

Craig and Zita did not go for a nice walk in the beautiful sunshine today.

Because Craig is a bit too sore today. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

Tonight Emmet is going to his friends apartment. To watch the dragons and wolves program.

Because it is too scary to watch just all by yourself. Ha.

Last night when Niamh and Miss Tarryn were way way downtown they found Mister Kirian. 

He was going home.

Because he was way too tired. 

Because he had just finished his all day all night work.

So he asked them to go to the Mahoney’s house. To feed Beebo the cat. 

It was right in the middle of the night. Kathy and Richard were not there. 

They were all fast asleep at the cottage. Oh well.

This afternoon Emmet got some brand new little pictures for his little I am Irish too book.

So he can go to school in way far away Ireland and be Irish. If he wants to.

This afternoon Zita went downtown to look at beautiful clothes. That is good.

Soon it will be Zita’s Sing Happy Birthday day too. 

I will get her a secret present. 

Craig always finds me a secret presents to give to my family. 

Because I do not have so much money. 

I do not have any pockets to keep any money. Oh well. 

But everybody always likes my secret presents. Good for me.

When Zita came home we went for our lovely long before dinnertime walk. 

Because it was a beautiful day outside today. All day. That is good.

So we had outside cooked own made hamburgers for our dinner. 

Saturday 4 May 2019

Day Two Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy Five 

We did not get up so early today. That is good.

I took Zita for our good morning everybody walk after Craig and Zita and I had our toasts.

It is a beautiful day outside today. That is good.

Then Zita went to the tired and sore store and Craig went to his old friends breakfast restaurant. 

At the same time. 

Because they are even in the same building. Ha.

So I had to mind our house.

Because Emmet and Niamh were still fast asleep. Downstairs. Ha.

So I got peanut butter treats. 

I got treats last night. 

Because I had to mind the house last night too.

Because Craig and Zita went to a new restaurant. On the busy street.

With very big and delicious hamburgers. And nice not too many chips. Ha. That is a good restaurant.

When they came back home they watched the detective from Italy. Until it was all over.

But we did not have any chips.

Because Niamh and her friends ate them all. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

Then we went to bed. Because it was very late.
