Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Four 

Zita and I had a very nice before breakfast walk this morning. It was a very cold walking day. 

But the sky was empty so it was full of sunshine. Ha. 

When we were back home Mister Paul came here.

So he and Craig could go to their old friends breakfast. By themselves.

So I had a little nap.

When Craig came home Zita went to the all dressed shower. 

To help Susan. Up on the busy street.

And Niamh had a very hard job. 

She had to get Miss Lilly all awake. And make her eat her breakfast too. 

Because Miss Lilly forgot to go to bed so early last night. Too bad for her.

Then they went to the because you are going to have a little baby shower. For Miss Ashley.

I nearly did not have my own lunch. I had to remind Craig lots of times. Ha. 

But then he remembered. So I did not just starve all away. That is good. 

Then Zita came home to get nice clean clothes for the all dressed shower. 


Not a squeaky clean shower. I did not know that. Ha. 

It is a just for ladies shower. But I did not go.

Because I had to mind my friend Craig. And our house too. Ha. Good for me.

Today is Mister Saint Andrews own day. 

He is like my Mister Saint Newton. 

But just for all the Scots people. He was a fisherman a long time ago. 

So was Craig’s long time ago family. 

On a little island. Right beside Scotland. Maybe they were friends. Maybe.

They do not catch the fish on the little island anymore. 

Because now they are too busy making Zita most favourite very old Scotch. Ha. 


You do not have to get into the little dangerous boats to make very very old Scotch. 

You just have to wait for it to be very old. 

Then people give you lots of money. That is not so dangerous. That is good. 

This afternoon was a football game on the television.

So Craig did not play any noisy bagpipe music. Ha. That is good.

And he did not have any porridge for his lunch. 

Maybe he is not a pretend Scotsman anymore. Oh dear. 

When Zita came home she was not even a bit soggy from the shower. Ha.

We had out only a little dinner.

Because there was lots and lots of tasty treats at the do not get wet at all shower. 

So Zita brought some home for Craig. I did not get any. 

They were not for nice dogs treats. That is not all right. Too bad for me. 



There was even a hedgehog. And a reindeer. And an owl too.

Hedgehogs are Craig’s favourite. Ha.

Zita’s friend made them. All by herself. 

She has her own tasty treats company.

We will watch the lady detectives again tonight. 




Friday 29 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Three 

Zita and Niamh and I got up in the middle of the night. But not Craig.

So Zita could drive Niamh to her beautiful clothes store.

Because today everybody in the world wants to buy things. For not so much money.



And they need Niamh and her friends to help them. Or they will just buy the wrong clothes. 

And people might laugh. Oh dear me. That would not be so nice. 

When Zita came home it was still nighttime. 

But we went for our before breakfast walk anyway. 

And there was nobody else all wide awake.

Then Zita went to the rascal ladies office. 

Because she had to meet some people. They brought a brand new comfy sofa.

But the silly cold still has caught her. 

She should have stayed here so I could keep her feet toasty warm. That is not all right.

So I kept Craig toasty warm instead.

When we were as wide awake as could be we had nearly two cinnamon buns for our together breakfast.

And Craig had two too much coffees. 

And we played catch the ball two times. Ha.

We had a lot of twos this morning. Ha. 

Then I had a very nice nap. 

Because I was awake way too early this morning. 

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

I could see him from the comfy bed.

Emmet’s very nice professor from his Antigonish university found a brand new very old story. 

In old old Irish writing. All by herself. 

All about long long time ago in Ireland medicine. 

Old medicine made from poop from cows. Oh dear. 

But now everybody can know all about it. Oh dear. 

But my nice doctor does not have a cow. Just a nice little hospital. Oh well. 

But nice Bouvier dogs always took care of lots of cows. It was our best job. 

Maybe we were doctors too. A long long time ago. Maybe. 

The silly bunny rabbit came to my patio before dinnertime. 

So I got into a bit of trouble. Again. Silly bunny. 

When Zita came home we had another nice walk. It was only a bit cold today.

Before dinnertime Zita helped doctor Susan find lots of special things. 

Because the not in a bathroom shower is tomorrow. 

We had a very nice altogether dinner tonight. That is all right. 

Maybe we will watch watch the lady detectives again tonight. It is a not very scary program.


Thursday 28 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Two 

Zita did not go to the rascal ladies office today.

Because  the silly cold caught her ears. Oh dear. 

So she just sat on the sofa in the living room.

All  covered up in cosy blanket and talked to the rascal people on her computer. 

When Craig was fast awake we had our together breakfast. 

Zita had toasts. But Craig had fat cinnamon buns. They are from Mister IKEA’s store. 

Those are Emmet’s favourite.



So Craig sent him a picture of them. Ha. That is silly. Pictures are not so tasty as buns.  

One of Emmet’s professors is a real knight. Mister Pope made her a knight. Ha.

Maybe Emmet will be a knight too. I would be his very fierce friend. Ha. That will be good. 

Maybe he will have a beautiful horse too. And a castle. Ha. That will be good. 

Zita and I went for an after breakfast walk. It is not a windy rain day today. That is good.

After lunchtime Zita went downstairs. To make Emmet’s bedroom all beautiful again. 

And Niamh had a clean as can be shower before she went to her beautiful clothes store.

And then the black go fast took her downtown. 

I stayed here to mind Craig. 

Zita made us own made chicken sandwiches for our lunchtime.

Zita knows that chicken sandwiches are my favourite. Ha. 

There was a football game on the television this afternoon. 

Because some other people have their say thank you for everything day on the wrong day. I do not know why.

Maybe they have the wrong clocks too. Maybe. 

Tomorrow is the buy lots and lots of secret presents for not very much money day. 

My friend Niamh has to go to the beautiful clothes very very early in the morning. 

Before the sun is even awake. 

Because tomorrow the store will be full up to the top with people. All day. 

And sometimes they are not very good listeners. 

So my friend Niamh has to make them listen. Oh dear.

Craig has already bought some secret presents. I saw him do it. Right on his flat computer. Ha.

Soon the present man will bring them to our own house. Before Merry Christmas time. Ha.

Zita and I had a fast before dinner walk tonight.

Then we had our altogether dinner.

Niamh has to go to bed early tonight. 

Because she has to get up way too early in the morning tomorrow. Oh dear. Too bad for her. 

Zita cannot go to her office tomorrow. The cold still has her caught. 

So she can only drink tea. And rest herself on the comfy sofa. But I will keep her all warm. 

Because I am they very best nurse. It is known. 


Wednesday 27 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty One

It was an all the time windy rain day today. Oh well.

So Craig had a big sleep in. 

He had to listen to the end of his interesting book.

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

So she took Niamh to her nice university. 

The cold only caught a little bit of my friend Niamh. Maybe only her foot. Maybe.

And then the black go fast car took Zita to do lots of important errands.

She went to Mister IKEA’s store. 

Because it will be Merry Christmas time soon. 

There are lots of nice things there. Just for Merry Christmas time. 

But a nasty cold has caught Zita too. 

I do not know how the cold catches people. 

I watch all the time and I never see it. 

Maybe it is invisible. 

Just like the way too cold outside is invisible. Oh dear. That is not so good. 

Craig and I had some more little scones for our together breakfast.

We did not play catch the ball this morning. 

Because of the rain.

We did not want to be soggy and have to stay in the kitchen. Ha.

We looked out the watching window at the soggy people instead. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Zita talked to her mother and father today. In way far away Dublin. 

I minded Craig all afternoon. So the cold cannot catch him too. Good for me. 

Zita went to help Profesor Jill find a toasty warm coat for a little dog. 

It is staying at her house for a little while. I do not know it. 

Very soon Emmet is writing a very important  remember everything exam.

In his way far away in Cork university. Oh dear.

Then soon he is going to be back here. For Merry Christmas time.

In his own comfy bed. With his own lots of pillows. Ha. That is good. 

Then I can mind him too. Minding my family is my best job. 

When Zita came home we did not go for a before dinnertime walk.

Because there is way too much windy rain. And we would be as soggy was could be. 

I did not want to be a soggy dog again. Ha. Good for us. 

We will have a little altogether dinner tonight. 

You cannot have big tasty dinners when a nasty cold catches you. It is the rule. 

Sometimes you can only have hard toasts. With not even butter.

Or Irish tea. Or old ginger ale. I do not know why. Oh well.

Maybe we will just watch the lady detectives tonight. 




Tuesday 26 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty

I got up way too early this morning. To help Zita and Niamh.

Because this morning Niamh has to wake up her beautiful clothes store. 

Before everybody else is even wide awake. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

So the black go fast car and Zita took her downtown.

Because it was still dark outside. 

When Zita came home we went for our very early morning walk. It was only a little rainy. 

So I was only just a bit of a soggy dog.

Then Zita went to downtown too. To her office. But she walked.

Because it is not cold at all today. And all the snow is gone away too. Ha.

So I kept Craig as cosy as could be. Right on the big bed. 

But we did not have a nice sleep in. 

Because Craig was not so wide awake. So he needed to find his too much coffees.

Today is the everybody should eat lots of delicious cakes day.

But we did not have any cakes at all. Even in the very top of the refrigerator. 

So we had some more little scones instead. 

So when we got up we played catch the ball. 

Before the coffees. Ha. Good for me. Then I had my peanut butter treat.

Craig always gives me my do not have a sore leg medicine in peanut butter. Ha. Every morning. Ha. 

Then we had our scones and watched everything out my watching window. 



I was a very good waiting dog. 

Waiting dogs always get the last little bit. It is the rule.

We watched all the people until Craig was all finished his another coffee. 

Then I had a nap and Craig looked for his stories. We had a nice quiet morning. 

After our lunchtime Craig was all finished looking for stories.

So he was a fierce Viking again. oh well. 

But we played catch the ball lots of times anyway. 

And I had a long sleep in on my own duvet. On the comfy bed.

Because I was up way too early in the still dark outside. Ha. 

Craig and I played catch the ball game for a long time. Before my first dinner. 

Then I stayed outside for a while. 


Because of the awful squirrels. On top of the bushes. In my own side yard. That is not all right. 

Craig and Zita are going up to the busy street tonight. 

So they can see a brand new movie. All about very fast cars. Ha. 

I will guard the house and my friend Niamh too. All by myself. 

When she came home from the beautiful clothes store I kept her company in the den. For a long time.

Then she went downstairs to her comfy bedroom so she could watch television.

Because she thought that maybe a silly cold has caught her. When she was not looking. 

So Zita brought her lots of just in case you have been caught by a cold medicine. Ha. 

And then I minded her until Craig and Zita were all home again.

Then we went to fast asleep. Ha. That is all right.

It was the get up very early Monday this morning.

So everybody got up early. Except for my friend Craig. 

The go fast car took Niamh to her nice university then Zita and I had a very nice good morning walk. 

And the black go fast car took Zita downtown to the rascal ladies office. 

So I minded Craig. 

We had a little sleep in. And then we had very small scones for our breakfast. 

We did not have tasty toasts with jam today. Too bad for me.

Then Craig went into the den so he could find interesting stories for our nice Queen.

So I looked out my watching window by myself. It was not so interesting outside today. 

Mister Paul came to our house before lunchtime. 

But he did not stay at all. Not even for his too much coffees.

Because he had to borrow a snake to fix his other house. 

But it was not a snake at all. It was just a big black thing. Ha. That was silly. 

So I went right back to fast asleep.

It is way too cold for snakes. It is known. 

Sometimes people are very silly. Even my own family. Oh well. Too bad for me.

It is hard being a dog sometimes. 

Craig and I had peanut butter and honey toasts for our lunchtime.

Maybe because we did not have toasts for our breakfast. Ha. That is good.

Toasts are my favourite. 

Then Niamh came home from her nice university. 

So she could have a delicious own made lunch with me. I was a big help.

Then she went to the expensive coffees store to read more stories for her classes. 

And have a giant cookie. 

Craig was all finished finding stories so now he is a Viking again. Oh dear. 

So I had a nice sleep on my comfy kitchen rug. I did not stay in the den with Craig. 

Because Vikings are too very loud for nice sleeps. Oh well. 

We went for our dinnertime walk late tonight.

Because Zita had to go to my little hospital to get my own medicine. That was nice.

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. That is my favourite dinner.

We are having delicious cheese toasties. Ha. 

Maybe some could fall onto the floor. Maybe. 




Sunday 24 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Eight

It is sleep in Sunday.

But we did not have a nice sleep in.

Because I am in charge. So Craig and I got all awake early. 

So we could have our toasts right away.

We had the fat tasty very chewy for toasts bread. Ha. With raspberry jam too. 

Zita is still in not so far away Montreal. With Susan. Going to all the interesting stores. 

Craig said she was coming home today.

But when I got up she was not here. 

Maybe it is not today yet. Oh dear.

We did not have Scotsman’s porridge last night. That is good.

We had from way way far away in China soup. And some chicken too. But we did not eat it all up.

Because it was too much. So Craig put it in the refrigerator and he had it for his lunchtime. Ha.

We played catch the ball lots of times before lunch. It is a very sunny day but not so very warm.

So I stayed outside and had a nice nap. Right on my very cool flat stones. Ha.

Then I went downstairs to get my friend Niamh fast awake. Ha.

So she would not be late for her job. She has to stay until late tonight.

Because she has a for everybody meeting. Oh dear. 

Then Niamh went downtown on the smelly bus again. I do not know why. Oh well.

After lunchtime I had a lovely nap in the living room.

Craig watched the football games on the television.

There are lots and lots of games on the television at the same time. That is silly. 

After lunchtime Craig’s phone said that my friend Zita was on the train. Oh dear. 

But Craig said it is not a fall over and crash train. 

Because it is not a old Russian train. That is good.

So Craig and I had to make the kitchen all neat and tidy. 

So Zita would not know that Craig is messy. Ha. Too bad for him.

Another car brought her home. I was very glad that she was all back home in our own house. 

And we went for our before dinnertime walk right away. Ha. 

We had an all over everywhere walk. Good for us. 

Then Craig and Zita went to the Mahoney’s for a lovely dinner.  

And to watch the important football game. Craig’s team is not playing this year. 

Because they were not so very good this year. Too bad for them.

Because Zita is back home I am not in charge anymore. That is good. 

So I stayed here to guard the house. It is my job. 

Maybe I will have a nap too. Maybe. 




Saturday 23 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Seven 

We did not have a sleep in today.

Because Zita is not here. She is still in Montreal. 



At the hotel. With the rascal ladies.

So we had to get up early so we could have our toasts.

And then I took my friend Niamh for our good morning walk. It was a fast walking day today.

Then she had to go to the beautiful clothes store. On the smelly bus. Oh dear.

Craig did not go to his old friends breakfast this morning. I do not know why. Oh dear.

Lots of them. At the same time. That is not all right. I got in a bit of trouble. Oh well. 

It was not very cold today. 

So we played catch the ball lots of times. 

But there was not even a bit of lovely sunshine this morning. 

Just grey everywhere clouds. Too bad for us. 

So Craig had an extra too much coffee. Ha.

We had Mister Tony’s delicious pizza last night. 

My friend Niamh will not be here for our altogether dinner tonight.

Because it is her friend’s Sing Happy Birthday day. So Niamh is going to her party. Oh well.

Craig’s hockey team won again last night. I did not watch it. 

I had a lovely nap on my own rug instead. Ha.

It was a very quiet day today.

Because only Craig was here for me to mind. 

We had the used pizza for our lunchtime. 

Now we do not any pizza for dinnertime. Oh dear. 

I got a very chewy bit. 

Mister Aidan and Richard came to our house before dinnertime. To find the big black square chair. 

It was in the too many chairs room in the basement. They are going to take it to the beautiful cottage.

Because they do not have too many chairs. At the cottage. 

I did not know they were going to take the chair away. Nobody told me. I could not help. 

But that is not right. 

Because when Zita is not here I am in charge. Oh dear.

And Zita and Susan are still shopping in the beautiful inside stores in Montreal.



You do not get too frozen when the stores are inside. Ha.

And you can find the stores right in the basement of their hotel. Ha. 



Craig has to make dinner tonight. Oh well. 

We will have Scotsman’s porridge. Oh well. 

Dogs do not like porridge so much. 

Dogs like crunchy green beans, or from far away smelly cheese, or tasty Irish chicken. It is true. 

Porridge is not so tasty. It is not even a bit crunchy. 

We will not watch the lady detectives tonight. Just the hockey game. 

Because Zita is in the beautiful hotel and not here. Too bad for me. 

I will have a nice nap on my comfy duvet. 

Maybe she will come home tomorrow. Craig said she will. Maybe he is right.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Six

We did not get up so early this morning. 

Because Zita did not to to the rascal ladies office right away.

For more important meetings. She is going to to sleep there too. In a beautiful hotel. 

Not here in her own bed. Without me on the big bed to mind her. Oh dear. I do not think that is all right.

Then doctor Susan is going to visit her and they are going to the lots and lots of beautiful stores. 

So they can go shopping together. And maybe go to very very tasty restaurants. 

They have lots and lots of delicious restaurants in Montreal. 

Because they are French. Just like me. Ha. 

A car came to get her this morning. To take her downtown. 

Because she had her going to somewhere bags with her. Oh dear.


We had a very long good morning walk. All the snow is nearly all gone. That is good.

Niamh does not have to go to the beautiful clothes store today.

Thursday 21 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Five

We were awake early again today. 

Because Zita wanted to talk to way far away Ireland again.

Because her another aunt went to heaven. Not the same aunt from yesterday. 

Because you can only go to way way far away Heaven one time. It is the rule. 

This was her Auntie Muriel who lived on an island. 

A way way way far away island. In the middle of another ocean. Not our dangerous ocean. 

That is where she taught all the little children. For a very long time. 

She had her own church too right on the island. 


Because she was a friend of Mister God for a very long time. 

She was Zita’s father’s sister. So now he is sad too. Oh dear. That is not so nice. 

Too many sad people. It is known. And Zita is sad too. Oh dear. That is not all right.

But my friend Emmet won another prize. Ha. In his way far away in Cork University. 



But I do not know why. Nobody told me. That is not so nice. Oh well. Maybe it is a secret. Maybe.

Craig and I had very very tasty scotsmens scones for our breakfast. 

They were from very nice ladies who have the special bake delicious things store up on the busy street. 

We played catch the ball before Craig had to find his interesting stories. 

Then I had a little nap.

The snow is nearly all gone from my side yard. That is good. 

So Zita just walked to her rascal ladies office and did not even freeze all up. 

My friend Niamh came home for her own made lunch. 

This morning she was at her nice university telling everybody her interesting story. Out loud. 

So everybody would know all about it too. That is good. 

A secret present came today. The present man brought it. I do not know who it is for.

Because it is a secret. Ha. 

Niamh got a present from her Nana. It was not a secret present. 

It was a just because present. Those are good presents.

Sometimes I get just because presents too. Sometimes brand new catching balls. Ha.

Or a new collar. Ha. It is nice to get presents. It is known. 

Craig and I had toasts and raspberry jam for our lunch. We did not have any peanut butter. 

Because Craig ate all the peanut butter. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

Then he was all finished finding stories today. So then he was the knight again. Ha.

So I had a lovely nap. 

When Zita came home she brought us more peanut butter. Ha. Good for us.

Then we had our before dinnertime walk. In the very dark. We were very brave. Especially me. 

Because I am the guarder dog. It is my job. Ha. 

We did not have an altogether dinner tonight because Niamh is working until late. Too bad for her.

But Zita and the go fast car will bring her home. 

Because of the very dark outside. 

Maybe we will watch the lady detectives tonight. Maybe. 


Wednesday 20 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Four 

Zita and I were all awake early today.

Because Zita and to talk to her sister in far away Ireland.

Because their Auntie Reine in far away England was very very old and so she went to heaven today. 

So she could find her husband. 

He used to fly the aeroplane taking our old Queen all over everywhere. 

And he never got lost. Or crashed into anything.

You cannot fly that aeroplane if you crash into things. It is the rule.

But now Zita’s own mother is very sad. 

Because it was her own sister. Oh dear. Oh dear. That is sad. 

When we went on our before my breakfast walk it was not cold so I did not have to wear my boots today. 

But I was not cold. 

Craig did not have even a little sleep in today. 

But we did not have toasts today. I do not know why. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Today is Zita’s do not go to work day. So she did not go to work. Ha. 

So she drove Niamh to her nice university for a remember everything exam. Oh dear.

Then Craig and Zita went for an adventure. To practice pushing the go fast chair. Ha.

And to have a tasty lunch. 

Then they went to the new little store to get their do not get caught by the nasty flu shots. Ha.

When the flu catches you you cannot have any tasty food. Only toast. 

And not even with any jams. I would not like that. 

I had a sick tummy and I was too tired for lots of days. But now I am not tired anymore. Ha.

That is good. 

And then Zita went to buy some things.

Because tonight she is going to the other Susan’s house with lots of her friends.

So they can make special presents for people who need presents. And drink wine too. 

Because the other Susan has her own wine restaurant. 

She is from way far away England. Just like doctor Susan. That is silly.



The restaurant is just up on the busy street. Ha. 

When Zita came home we went for our before dinner walk. 

Before it was all dark outside. Ha. That is good. 

It is only a bit scary when everything is very dark outside. 

It is not scary when I can see everything all the time. Ha. That is all right. 

And then Mister Paul came over to look at the electricity in the basement. 

Where the clean our clothes machine is. That is a good idea. 

We are going to have an altogether dinner tonight. Ha. That is all right. 

We watched the lady detectives last night. That is a good program. 

But Zita is not here tonight. 

So Craig will watch the hockey game instead. 

Because we can only watch detectives when Zita is here. Oh well.





Tuesday 19 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Three

I had a very exciting morning. 

Zita and I had a nice walk before she went to the rascal ladies office. 

It is only a bit cold today. So she walked to the downtown. She did not go on the smelly bus. 

Then I kept Craig toes toasty warm on the big bed.

But we did not a sleep in today. We had two little croissants instead. 

I was a very good waiter today. Ha. 



And when we went into the living room with our croissants there were giant trucks.

Right on my own street. With a man way up in the sky. 



With a very noisy saw. Chopping down the across the street tree. Oh dear.

It was a very old tree and sometimes bits fell down. On to the sidewalk.  Oh dear.

And there was another giant truck with a giant grabber. 

And it picked up the pieces of the tree and put them in a different truck. Oh dear.

And then the tree was gone. 



Now the racoons will not be able to live inside the tree.

Because it is all gone.

We watched everything for a long time. Then I had a nice nap.

Niamh came up from her big bedroom. At lunchtime. 

She was very busy yesterday. At a brand new go fast board place. 



And now she is tired. Oh well.

Craig could only find some not so very interesting stories for our nice Queen.

That is not so nice. People should write stories for her.

Because she is a nice Queen. 

So he stopped looking after my lunchtime. 

And made his fat sandwiches. For our together lunchtime. Ha. 

Then he was a knight again. In long time ago England. 

Some nasty people hit his friends with big sticks.

So he is going with his other friends. They have giant horses. And swords. Ha. 

When Craig is someone else I always mind him from the comfy sofa.

Only Craig and I are going to be here for our dinner. Too bad for me.

Zita went to her stretching store and then she had to help with doctor Susan’s shower. Oh dear.

Maybe her bathtub is broken. Oh dear. 

Now everybody in her house will be all too smelly. Oh dear.

Mister Paul came for a visit. He brought chocolate treats. 

He always brings tasty treats. That is nice.

Maybe Craig will watch the hockey game tonight. 

And I will have a nice nap. On my own duvet.







Monday 18 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Two 

We did not have any sleep ins today.

Because Miss Tamina came to make the house all spic and span this morning.

With her noisy machines. Oh well. Too bad for me.

So Zita and I had our good morning to everybody walk before she was here.

Craig was all dressed and nearly all awake when we got home. 

Then Zita and the silver little car went to work. Altogether. Ha.

When Zita is at her office the silver little car has a nice rest. In the very comfy warm basement. 

So it will be toasty warm. Cars do not like to be way too cold. Craig told me. Me either. 

It is a special just for cars basement. It is not for people. Or even nice dogs. Oh well. 

After Zita was gone I went to the big bedroom and had a nice nap. On my own duvet. 

It is very quiet in the big bedroom when the noisy machines are on. 

Craig hid in the den with his another too much coffee. Ha.

It is not even a bit warm today. 

So we only played catch the ball a little bit. Oh well.

We did not have our tasty toasts until Miss Tamina was finished. 

You cannot not have your toasts when the noisy machine is everywhere. It is known.

We had two tasty toasts for our lunchtime.

Because we did not even have one for our breakfast. Ha.

I got some.


Because I am a very good waiting dog. Ha. Good for me.

Then Craig was a detective in long time ago England. He has a new horse now. 

Because his friend the very old horse was too tired so he went to heaven for a nice rest. 

And to be with all his brave friends. They were horses just for very brave knights.

So then I had a nap. Right beside Craig. While he read his book. 

The black go fast car is brought my friend Niamh home this afternoon.

And then she had go to work when she got all the way back home. Oh dear. 

She has to go to the go fast on a board store. I do not know why. Oh well.

She will be too tired. Too bad for her.

And then she had to come back.

Because she forgot her own go fast board. Oh dear.

When Zita came home we went for our before dinnertime walk right away.

Before Zita remembered she was too tired to go for a walk. Ha.

Last night we watched the two lady detectives from way far away England.

It is a not so scary program. That is good.

Maybe we will watch it again tonight. 

Then I can have a nice nap in the den. So I can mind Craig and Zita right there.

That is my best job. 


Sunday 17 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy One 

It is sleep in Sunday but Zita had to go to the rascal ladies meeting. Again.

Downtown. In the big hotel.

So we went for an early in the morning walk. But only Zita and me.

Because Craig was still fast asleep. 

So after Zita and the silver little car went to downtown I minded Craig. 

We had a nice sleep in. 

Then we had our round toasts. Today we had strawberry jam. Ha.

Then we played catch the ball. But not so often.

Because it is a bit too cold today. 

The go fast chair does not like the too cold so much. Me either.

So Craig had his another coffee and we looked out my watching window.

At all the little children sliding down the hill into empty pond. 

Even in the very cold. Oh well. Too bad for them.

They will have to find hot water bottles when they go home.

Craig always has one when he is all frozen up. Ha. That is good.

Then I had my own lunch and Craig went in the den to watch the little fast cars. 

And the football game. At the same time. So I had my nice after lunchtime nap.

Niamh is still in Toronto. Shopping for lots of beautiful things. Ha. 

She and Tara and their friends went to for a tasty from China lunchtime.

But Niamh’s nose exploded. Right inside the restaurant. Oh dear. 


That is not so nice. Oh dear.

She should come home. Noses do not explode here. Zita would not let that happen. It is the rule. 

Even Mister Saint Santa is in Toronto today too. 

To remind everybody to be very good. 

Because soon it will be Merry Christmas time. Ha. That is a good idea. 

I am always very good. 

Except for the too much barking. Or maybe the sometimes digging. Oh dear me. 

Oh well. I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. 

He always understands dogs. It is his best job. 

He will tell Mister Saint Santa. So will my family. Ha. Good for me. 

When Zita came home she went to the stretching store. Right away. 

Because her head was all full up to the top. So she has to empty it. 

Then she can fill it up again. Ha. 

When she got home we went for our before dinnertime. 

We had to wear our for the cold winter boots. Or we would have all frozen feet. 

Maybe we will have to have hot water bottles. Maybe. 

We are going to have the tasty sausages for our dinner tonight. With brand new buns. Ha.

Maybe we will watch the detectives tonight. 

Or go to fast asleep early. Maybe.


Saturday 16 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy

Zita had to go to the rascal ladies special important meeting early today.

So Zita and I got up early for our good morning walk. In the very cold outside. 

But we had our new for the winter keep your feet toasty warm boots on. Ha. Good for us.

Then the silver little car took Zita downtown. To the very big hotel. 

Because it is a too cold for walking to downtown day.

People always have their important meetings in lovely hotels. 

So they can look out the window. When the meetings are not so very interesting. 


And after Zita left our house I minded Craig. 

He had a nice sleep in today. But he did not go to his old friends breakfast.

Because of the too much cold outside. 

So he had two coffees and we had a fat cinnamon finger from Mister Kettleman’s bagel store. Ha. 

We only played catch the ball one time. Because of the too cold feet. Oh well.

But then we watched everybody from my watching window. 

There were very big trucks sitting right in front of my house. Craig did not know why either. Oh well.

So I had a nice nap. On the floor. Beside him.

Niamh and Miss Tarryn are still in Toronto. Looking at the very big buildings. 


It is not so cold there.

We had a very late lunchtime. Maybe because I was fast asleep. Oh dear.

Then we had two peanut butter and honey sandwiches. 

Craig made them with brand new from Italy very fat bread. He made too much. So I had to help him. Ha.

Then he watched a football game. That is a silly game. 

They throw people the ball and they do not even catch it. They should get dogs. 

Niamh’s friend Mister Shadow always caught the ball. And never dropped it. 

Even when he was very old. Ha. Good for him.

Zita will not be home for dinner tonight. 

Because she has to go to another rascal ladies dinner. At a table sheet restaurant.

And Niamh is still in not so far away Toronto. 

So only Craig will be here for our dinner tonight. Oh well. 

A nice man brought us a hamburger and too many chips. Ha. 

So Craig could watch the famous young King and lots of his friends. On the television.

All his friends had very big bows and lots and lots of pointy arrows. 

So they all went to visit France. To practice shooting their arrows. Oh dear. 

Then they came home. And the King brought home a brand new wife. That was silly.

So I helped Craig eat some of the too many chips. Ha. 

Then there was a hockey game. Craig’s team does not loose all the time this year. Ha. 

Hockey is not so very interesting so I had a nice nap. 

Zita did not get home until late. 

Because of the rascal ladies delicious dinner.


Friday 15 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Nine

We got up early today so we could have a very long good morning walk. 

I wore my own do not slip in the snow boots and so did Zita. Ha. 

Because the snow is still allover everywhere. Even our own patio. 



But we did not slip at all. Good for us. 

Then the silver little car took Zita downtown. 

Because her go fast car is still in not too far away Toronto. 

Resting in Miss Georgie’s giant building.


Niamh and Miss Tarryn and Miss Georgi are all in Toronto too. 

Having their own adventure. Ha. 

Last night they went to Tara’s house. For tasty treats. Ha. 

And they went there again tonight. To have a delicious cheese party dinner. 



With all their lady friends. Ha. 

Tara likes to cook. All the time. 

But she does not have a nice dog to be a big kitchen help. Too bad for her.

I had a nice sleep in this morning. On the big comfy bed. 

When Craig was listening to more of his very interesting book. 

But my friend Zita will not be home for our dinner tonight.

Because there are lots of important meetings for the rascal ladies today. 

And tomorrow too. Oh dear. 

So they all have to go out for some dinners altogether. To meet the brand new rascals ladies. Ha. 

Today my friend Emmet is having his dinner out too. With our cousin Ciara. 



Right in way far away Cork.

In a restaurant with an on fire stove. Oh dear. 

I do not know why. 

A nice man brought us our tasty dinner in a bag. From Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagels store. 

And we had our dinner in the den. So Craig could watch the hockey game. 

I do not think hockey is so interesting. So I had a nice nap.



Thursday 14 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Eight 

I had to get up very early this morning.

Because the black go fast car is taking Niamh and Miss Tarryn on an adventure.

To go to not so far away Toronto. 



And visit Miss Georgi. In her little apartment. And sleep on the floor. 

Maybe she has very comfy rugs too. Maybe. Oh dear.

Miss Tarryn is driving. 

Because Niamh’s special doctor said she cannot drive cars. For a little while.

Because of the bop on her head. Oh dear.

After the go fast car was gone I took Zita for a walk in the snow. 

I had to have my boots on again. Oh well. 

Zita wore her brand new do not fall down boots. Ha.

We did not fall down even once. That is good. Then Zita went to her work. 

But not on the slow smelly bus. She walked there. All by herself. 

With her keep you very warm clothes on. And her new boots too. 

I stayed here and minded my friend Craig. 

But only for a little while. 

Because of his too much coffees. 

So we had fat toasts with strawberry jam. Together. 

And we looked out my watching window. 

There were move the snow machines all over everywhere. 


Oh dear. They are very noisy.

I had to stay at my watching window a lot today. 

Because I had to guard the house from the snow time machines. Ha. Good for me. 

Then we played catch the ball. 

Until I got too cold. Then we came in. 

And Craig had another too much coffee. Ha.

I minded him. Right beside him on the very comfy rug. 

Craig had Scotsman’s porridge for his lunchtime. 

I do not have porridge. I got a special cheese treat for my other lunch.

We played catch the ball after lunch. 

But it is not so much fun in the lots of snow. Oh well.

Sometimes the ball gets lost in all the snow. Too bad for us. 

So I just watched everything from my own window. Ha. That is a good job for me. 

When Zita got home from the stretching store I took her for our another walk. 

I had to wear my boots too. Oh well. 

Only Craig and and Zita will have dinnertime with me tonight.

Because Emmet and Niamh are not here at all. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

We will find a new detective program for tonight. 

The other was was not so very interesting. Oh well. 




Wednesday 13 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Seven 

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

But there was still snow all over. Oh well.

And my friend Niamh was all up and awake before Craig.

He had a little sleep in so he could listen to his interesting book. Ha.

Then Niamh went to her work in a car. 

Then Zita went to find brand new keep your feet warm and do not fall down and hurt your bottom boots.

Because her old boots let the cold snow inside. Oh dear. Too bad for her. That is not so good. 

Then she is going to her make you beautiful store. 

Craig and I had our round toasts today. With the blueberry jam. 

And Craig found his special too many coffees cup. It was not lost. Ha. That is good. 


It has knights and dragons on it. And a castle too. Ha.

They are the very same knights and castles that we have in the basement. 

In the very big boxes. Ha.

Every Merry Christmas time Emmet gets Craig brand new knights. For a secret present. Ha. 

Sometimes they built castles on the dining room table table. Before I was their best friend. 

But not so much anymore. 

Because now Emmet is always at his way far away universities. Oh well. 

After we had our toasts I had a nice nap. 

Because now I am not so young anymore I just have naps whenever I want. Ha. Good for me.

That is why we have lots of very comfy places for naps in my house.

When Zita as back home Mister Paul came over to fix something in Niamh’s bedroom. 

And then Zita and Mister Paul took the bicycles downstairs. 

To the basement. And hung them up. Right from the ceiling.

Because you cannot ride bicycles in the too much snow. It is our rule.

After Mister Paul went home Craig got clean as can be feet. In the shaky water machine.

And then Niamh was home so I kept her company.

Zita went to the stretching until you are smelly store. 

So I minded her brand new do not fall down in the snow boots. 


Right on my own duvet. On the very comfy bed.

When Zita came home I had to take her for our walk. I had to wear my keep my feet dry boots. Oh well.

We did not have a very long walk. 

Because it was a bit too windy cold for us. Ha. 

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. Ha. That is my favourite dinnertime.


Tuesday 12 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Six

Zita and I got up early this morning. 

Because she had to go to her own office early today.

Because there was snow everywhere this morning. 

But the smelly busses are too slow in the lots of snow.

So she had to leave our house very early.

So Zita walked nearly all the way there. In the too much snow. 

We even went on our good morning walk in the lots and lots of snow. Oh dear. 



Then I minded Craig. 

But he did not have a nice sleep in. So I had a just me sleep in. 

Until the toasts were all ready. Ha.

I had a sick tummy last night. I do not know why. 

So I cannot have treats today. Oh dear me.

Niamh was all awake early today too.

Because she is writing another new story for her university. 

Craig said it is a three cups of too much coffee day. 

It is a good day for nice naps too. The lots of snow makes my feet too cold. 

I do not get too cold feet when I am on my comfy duvet. It is known. 

It is too slippy outside today. 

Some people on my corner are just falling down. Right on their bottoms. Oh dear me.

We saw them. From my watching window.

At lunchtime Mister Paul came here to borrow Zita’s black go fast car. To do some errands.

Then Craig and I had peanut butter and honey toasts. 

But I only got a very very small crunchy bit. 

Because of my sick tummy last night. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Then I had another nice nap.

Sick tummies make you a bit all the time tired. Oh well.

We had toasty cheese sandwiches for our dinner tonight. 

But I did not have even a chewy bit. Because of the sick tummy. Oh well.



Monday 11 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Five

Zita did not go to the rascal ladies office today.

Because it is the sad holiday today. 

It is the day when we remember all the soldiers who went to heaven. 

Because they died being very brave in a war. And even the animals too.

Craig’s father’s own aeroplane was in a war. It was a moose aeroplane. That is silly. 



Moose are too big to get into even very big aeroplanes. 

Because of the giant pointy horns. Oh well. Maybe it was a baby moose. Maybe.

And then our nice Colonel George was in another very far away war. Oh dear. Too many wars.

Today lots and lots of people went downtown to say thank you to all the dead soldiers. That is a good rule. 

There are always very loud bagpipes there. Playing very sad songs.

To wake up all the Scotsmen soldiers who live in heaven. 

You have to have bagpipes if you are a Scotsman soldier. Even outside. In the mud. 

Or in way way way far away Heaven. That is where they guard everything now. 

With their very noisy bagpipes. Good for them.


.Mister Luc came to my house this morning. 

To make the brand new go fast chair all perfect. For my friend Craig.

This morning Zita and I got up very early. 

Because Niamh had to go to her nice university very early this morning. 

To write another brand new story.

Then we had a very nice long walk. In the too cold. 

Zita is going to make me my own lovely warm coat. To keep me warm as can be too.

Craig and Zita went for a practice walk up to the busy street. For their lunchtime. 

I stayed here so I could mind the house.

This afternoon Mister Paul and Mister George came to visit us. 

And they each brought very tasty treats. Ha.

So I minded everybody. 

And when Zita came home we went for a not so long walk.

Because then it just started to snow. Oh dear.

When I got home I was all white. 

Not black like me. I was white like Craig. Ha. Oh well. Too bad for him. 

But then the silly bunny rabbit came back back. Right in my own front yard.

And I got in trouble again. Too bad for me. 

Niamh is not going to be very late tonight. That is good. 

Because everything outside is very slippy. 

All the cars on my corner are just sliding everywhere. Oh dear.

Maybe we will watch new detectives tonight. 




Sunday 10 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Four 

Because it is sleep in Sunday everybody had a sleep in.

But Zita and I only had a little sleep in.

Because we had to take Miss Bethany for a long good morning walk. 

So she and Zita could have a nice talk. 

So we only went on nice quiet streets.

And we we came home Craig was nearly all dressed. I did not have to wake him up. Oh well.

We had the very little scones for our breakfast. Right in front of my watching window. Ha.

Then Zita made the pretend toasts for our nearly lunch. 

Because Niamh was all awake too. 

But she had to go to the beautiful clothes store. Right after. 

So Zita drove her. 

And Craig cleaned up everything. Nearly. Ha.

And when Zita came home she took her special tools downstairs. 

To fix the hole behind my friend Emmet’s bed.

Craig and I could not help. I had to stay upstairs to mind him. Oh well.

I had a nice nap on my very comfy towel. 


I brought it into the living room. Just for me. Ha. 

But Zita was a bit noisy. 

So I went into the den to keep Craig company. And have a little nap.

Today Zita and doctor Susan are going to a lady’s apartment. Up on the busy street.

Because Miss Ashley is going to have a little baby. Ha. 

And soon they are going to have a special party. With presents too.  And Miss Ashley will be here. 

And all here just from here friends too. 

Maybe they will have cheese. Ha. 

Good parties always have cheese. It is the rule. Ha.

The television said that maybe we will have too much snow everywhere tomorrow night. 

That is not all right. Our beautiful trees are not all ready for too much snow. Oh dear.

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight. 

I did not want to go for our before dinner walk tonight. 

Because I was very comfy on my lovely rug. 

But maybe giant raccoons might chase Zita if I did not go. Oh dear. 

So I went with her. And we found Professor Jill. So I had to guard everybody. 

And I was very brave even in the very dark. It is my job. 

When we got home Zita went downstairs. To do more work on Emmet’s wall. 

Before we have our used dinner. 

Maybe we will watch the new detective again tonight. Ha. 

There are Vikings in it. Oh dear.

Saturday 9 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Three

It was Saturday go to the old friends breakfast restaurant day.

But Craig did not go to his breakfast. Oh dear.

He had a big sleep in instead. I do not know why.

I tried to get him all up. 

But Zita closed the door so I could not wake him up. Too bad for him.

Zita and I took Professor Jill and the little dog on a very long walk this morning. All over everywhere.

When we got home Craig was only nearly awake. 

So Zita went to her stretching store. In the black go fast car.

Because it is a bit cold outside today. 

And Craig and I had our very late together toasts. Oh well.

But we played catch the ball too. When Craig was all awake. After his too much coffee.

When Niamh was all awake I helped her make her breakfast. Ha.

I am the best kitchen helper. 

Then she stayed at the dining room table.

So she could write some more of her story. I minded her. Right on the floor. Under the table. 

Then Mister Tom brought us some more detective programs. 

Detectives from way far away. 

So we can watch them at night. In the den. 

When it is way too cold outside to go on adventures. Or go to nice tasty restaurants. 

That is good idea. 

When Zita was home she drove Niamh to the beautiful clothes store downtown. 

So we will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Oh well.

When Zita came home she and Craig went for a little adventure walk. 

Because very soon there will way too much snow for the go fast chairs. 

They will just get all stuck. 

And I will have to go to find them. Ha. That is a good job.

So I stayed home to mind the house. 

And I got a peanut butter treat. It as a very nice quiet day for me. 

They did not stay outside very long.

Because all of a sudden there was snow again. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

And then Mister Jack came to my house. 

To help Zita move the big stones on my patio. To the other side of my house.

When they were finished I took Zita for our before dinnertime walk. 

In the little bit of snow. When we got home I was a very cold soggy dog. Too bad for me.

We had used from very far away India food for our dinner. 

But the fluffy bread was all gone. Oh well.


Friday 8 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Two 

It was a get up way too early in the morning day today.

Because Niamh had to open up the beautiful clothes store today.

So we had an very early breakfast before the black go fast car took her to downtown.

It is a very sunny day today. 

But it is not even a bit warm. And it was all windy too. Oh dear.

So Zita got on her very warm coat when we went for our good morning walk. That is good.

Then the go fast black car took her downtown too. She did not go on the very slow smelly bus. Ha.

I minded Craig until he was all dressed and then we had our altogether toasts. 

And we played catch the ball too. That is good.

I got cheesie treats on my breakfast today. 

Last night the cheesie treats spilled all over the kitchen floor.

And I did not just gobble them up. I just waited until Craig cleaned nearly everything all up.

Then I helped him to clean the floor. Ha. That was a good job. 

I thanked Mister Saint Newton for it when everybody was fast asleep. Ha. Good for us. 

We had a very fat sandwich for our lunch. With honey and peanut butter too.

It was so fat I had to help Craig eat it. I am always a big help. Craig told me. Ha. Good for me.

Craig could not find so many interesting stories today. For our nice Queen.

So after lunchtime he read his book. 

All about the nice man who was a detective for an important knight. Who had lots of castles. 

And the man is a doctor too. But it was a long long time ago. In way far away England. 

Doctors were not so very good then. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

You should only read books with very good doctors. 

Just in case you get sick when you are reading the book. It is known.

This afternoon Mister Paul came for a little visit. 

And he brought some croissants. Ha. But I did not have any.

Because I was way too busy. 

The bushes in my own side yard were all full up with awful squirrels. Oh dear.

So I did not have the time to help with the croissants. Too bad for me. Oh well. Maybe next time.

When Niamh came home she made cookies. So she would not just starve into nothing.

While she was writing her new story. 

My friend Zita was late tonight. 

Because the telephone people were not very good listeners. Oh dear. 

Too bad for them. 

So we had to have our nice walk in the very dark. 

But we were very brave. 

And I was a very fierce walker so nothing jumped out on us. Ha.

Then Zita went up to the busy street and brought home lots of delicious food.

From way way far away India. With the fluffy bread. Ha. 


That is very tasty bread. But you cannot make toasts with it.

So you have to eat it all right away. Ha. 





 

Thursday 7 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty One

When I was all fast awake this morning I went outside.

And there was snow all over. All over everything. Oh dear. That is not all right.


All the leaves are still right on the trees. Oh dear.

But I took Zita for our nice walk anyway. 



But I got a bit soggy. Oh well.

And had to stay in the kitchen. Before Zita went downtown. 

But the not so fast bicycle did not take Zita downtown. To her office. 

Bicycles are not so happy when there is snow everywhere. 

Because it is way too slippy. And then you will just crash. 

So Zita had to take the smelly bus instead.

Last night one the rascal ladies came to our house. 

To buy Niamh’s not so old but not so fast bicycle. 

Niamh only likes her very old very fast from Italy bicycle.

Today I had a little sleep in. Until Craig put the round toasts in the toasting machine. Ha.

We had the very tasty raspberry jam today. 

But Craig was very slow eating the toasts today. 


So I had to remind him that I was waiting too.  Ha. Good for me.

Then Niamh was upstairs. She had toasts with brand new honey. 

I helped her. Honey is my favourite. 

When we were all finished she went to her nice university to write her new story. 

She walked there.

Because she told me she loves the smell of brand new snow. That is silly. 

But it is not too cold. So she was not a Niamhsicle when she got there. That is good.

After university she has to go to her beautiful clothes store.

So we will not have our altogether dinner tonight. Too bad for us.

Then I had a very nice nap on my own duvet.

Craig had to read lots of things. For the Queen. 

We did not play catch the ball this morning. 

Because of the snow in my side yard. Oh well. 

We had a fat tasty sandwich for our lunch today. 

Because we have a giant brand new tub of honey. Ha. 

And Craig had another Scotsman’s porridge. I do not know why. Oh well.

When Zita got home it was very dark.

Because of the wrong clocks. But we went for our before dinner walk anyway. 

Last night we watched a new program 

All about an Angel and his friend a scary devil. 

Who drives an very old car way too fast. I do not know why. Oh dear.

Maybe we will watch it some more tonight. Maybe the car will crash. Oh dear. 

And there is a witch too. And a very very fierce very big dog. 

But it got not so very big. And not so fierce. 

I do not know why. Oh well.


Wednesday 6 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty 

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

So we had a nice not so very early in the morning walk. That is good.

When we got home Craig was all awake so we had our altogether toasts altogether. Ha.

With new crunchy toasts. And the blueberry jam. In front of my watching window.

Then Zita went to the doctor. But she got Niamh all wide awake first. Ha.

So she would not be late for her nice university. 

Then I minded Craig when he was finding brand new stories. That is an easy job. 

At lunchtime I guarded the house all by myself. 

Because Craig and Zita went for an adventure walk. Right up to the busy street.

To get my sore leg medicine.

And Niamh’s when you get bopped on the head medicine. Ha. That is good.

Then our own cousin Orlaith talked to Zita. It was a for just because talk. 

They talked for a long time.

She was at her university in way far away Galway. 

Beside the dangerous ocean. Oh dear. Cousin Emma goes to the same university too. Ha.

So I minded Zita right on her feet. Ha. Good for me.

Craig had Scotsman’s porridge for his lunchtime. 

But it was from Ireland porridge. That is silly. 

Zita brought it back for him. Ha. That was nice.

I did not have any porridges. Oh well.

Then Zita went to find my friend Niamh at her nice university. So she could come home as fast as can be.

Craig got another back music machine. 


So Zita went to the store to find it. And bring it home.

Because it is just nearly like some of his other black music machines. That is silly. 

But other people are going to buy some of the too many music machines. Ha. That is silly too. 

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight. Those are my favourite dinnertimes. It is known.

But my friend Emmet is not here. He is still in his very little apartment in way far away Cork.

I saw a picture from an aeroplane. Of his apartment right on his street. 

Craig showed it to me. Ha. 

Right on the little flat computer. 

But I could not see my friend Emmet anywhere.

Maybe he was at his very old university. Reading the very old books. 

All about his very very very old stories. Maybe. 



Or maybe he was hiding. Maybe. 

Miss Tarryn came to my house to do lots of homework. Right on the dining room table. 

And to have a tasty dinner with us too. Right on the dining room table. Ha. That is funny. 






Tuesday 5 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Nine

I had a very quiet day today. Ha. Good for me.

Zita and I had a good morning walk altogether. But it is not even a bit sunny today. Again.

And when we were back home Craig was all fast awake so he did not have a sleep in today.

But I did. Ha. Good for me. 

When Craig made his another too much coffee and put the bread in the toasty machine I got up.

We had blueberry jam on our toasts today. Ha. With brand new blueberry jam.

Blueberries are the bears very favourite. It is known. 

But we do not have any bears in my neighbourhood. Only giant raccoons and smelly skunks. 

And maybe dangerous wolves. Hiding in the bushes. 

But only at nighttime. Maybe.

Craig was busy today finding some interesting stories for our nice Queen.

Niamh was busy too. 

Writing a brand new story all about an interesting movie she saw at her nice university.

Last night we watched a long movie all about the magic ring. 

With lots of very scary dangerous monsters. Oh dear me. I did not watch it so much. 

And in the very the middle of the night there were noisy trucks right on my street. 

Painting new numbers outside. Now the cars cannot go so fast on my street. 

Zita’s not so very fast bicycle will be happy. Ha. 

This afternoon Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store. To work until late tonight.

So we cannot have an altogether delicious dinner tonight. Too bad for us.

I saw professor Jill out my watching window this morning. She has a just visiting dog. 

It is a very little dog. It is always jumping up at me dog. 

I do not like that dog so much. I did not tell professor Jill. Oh dear. 

After work Zita went to her stretching store. It is all brand new and finished now. 

And it has bathrooms too. Ha. That is good.

So when she got home we went for our late before dinner walk right away. 

In the very dark outside again. Too bad for us.

Only Craig and Zita and I will have our dinner here tonight. Too bad for us.

We will not watch the scary movie tonight. 

Because Niamh will not be here. 

Maybe we will watch something new. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Eight

I did not have a sleep in today.

Because it is a get up early day today.

Niamh went to her very early in the morning class. Too bad for her. 

And then I took Zita for a long not so very fast walk.

Before she went to the rascal ladies office. Her not so very fast bicycle went with her.

But then Craig was all dressed so I did not have a sleep in today.

But we had two tasty toasts. With the very delicious raspberry jam. 

From way far away France. That is good toast.

Then I had a nap on my own duvet on the big comfy bed.



Miss Tamina came today. To make the house spic and span. 

But she did not come until after my own lunchtime. I do not know why. Oh well.

Her helper came too. 

But they still used the noisy machines. Even in the afternoon. Oh dear.

So I stayed in the big bedroom. On my own duvet. With my own fluffy pillow. Ha.

It is not a very beautiful day today. There are lots of flat just grey clouds. 

Not even any lovely sheep clouds. Oh well. 

And then it was sometimes just raining. 

That is not so nice. So we did not play catch the ball a lot of times. 

When Miss Tamina was finished I had some peanut butter treats. 

Then I minded Craig. In the den. We had a nice quiet afternoon. Just with us.

When Niamh came home I was fast asleep. But then I was wide awake. 

Because it was time for my first dinner. Ha. Good for us.

When her bicycle brought Zita home we went for our before dinner walk.

But it dark all the time when Zita comes home. 

Because of the different clocks. That is not such a very good rule. It is known.

I do not like going for our nice walk in the very dark outside. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 


Sunday 3 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Seven 

The clocks are different again. But nobody told me. 

So I had a little sleep in and I did not even know it. Too bad for me.

When Zita was all awake she talked to her parents. They are still in way far away Dublin.

Because that is where their house is. Ha. 

Then Craig was all awake too. And today he used the brand new go fast chair. 

But Zita had to change the back. 

Because it was not so very comfy. Oh dear. 

Then Zita and I went for our before lunchtime walk. It was not so sunny today.

And not so warm either. Oh well. 

And we have lots and lots of leaves everywhere. 

Even in my own side yard. And on our cars too.

Because it the fall down leaves time. Oh well.

When we got home Zita had to fix the brand new go fast chair again. 

Because the back just fell over. All by itself. Oh dear.

Craig says it takes a long time to make go fast chairs as comfy as can be. I do not know why. 

When Niamh was all dressed we had brand new fat croissants for lunchtime.

With cheese and lots of jams too. Ha. That is a good lunch.

Then Zita took Niamh to her lovely clothes store.

Yesterday her store gave Niamh a brand new beautiful keep you toasty warm fat coat.

Because she always is a good worker. Even when she had a bumped head. Ha.

After lunch Mister Jack came to move things. 

All the falling down leaves. And maybe the big rocks too. But later.

Zita went to visit Craig’s mother at her little apartment. 

Maybe they will have a little treat up on the busy street.. 

Last night we watched the last of the friends at the magic school. 

Now we are going to watch movies all about fat far far away spaceships. Oh dear. 

Mister Tom found some brand new from far away detectives for Zita.  Ha. That is nice.

When Zita was home she used the blow everything everywhere machine. I had to stay inside. 

And I got in trouble. There was some too much barking. Too bad for me.

Then Zita went downtown to bring Niamh home for our dinnertime. 

So we could have an altogether dinner tonight.




Saturday 2 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Six

I had a very busy night last night.

I had to mind Craig all night. On the big comfy bed.

Because Zita slept downstairs. On the extra bed.

Because Niamh still had a sick tummy and then she got too hot. 

So she had to have her other special tummy medicine. 

And Zita stayed there to mind her. On the other comfy bed. 

So I had to mind Craig. All by myself. Ha. That is an easy job.

Today was Craig’s old friends breakfast day. 

So Mister Paul came to our house and they went altogether to the new restaurant. 

So they would not get all lost forever. Ha.

And when Craig came home Niamh was nearly all better again. 

Because of the other special medicine. That is good.

Then Zita and I went for our long after lunchtime walk. 

When we were outside there were bits of snow in the sky. Oh dear me.

But we had a nice walk anyway. Good for us. 

I was only a bit soggy. But I was a bit cold. 

Then Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store. But only for a little while. 

Zita and the black go fast car took her downtown. 

So she would not have another sick tummy. 

When Zita got home we had a very quiet afternoon.

Because Zita and I were just a bit too tired because of our minding jobs last night. 

So doctor Susan took Zita shopping. In her new car. It is black too. Just like ours. Ha.

To find lovely things. Maybe secret presents. Maybe.

Then they found Niamh and brought her home too. 

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. That is good.

Altogether dinners are my favourite.

Because I can mind everybody. All at the same time. Ha. That is good. 


Friday 1 November 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Five

We were very busy last night. Because it was the Halloween night.

So lots of ghosts and little children came to my house. 

So we could give them lots of candy. I was a big help. 

There was lots of fast rain last night. Oh dear.

But ghosts do not care so much about rain. Ha.

And there was even a very scary wolf. 

But it was not really a wolf. It was just a little boy. 

He thought he was a wolf. But he was not. 

We gave him candy anyway. Ha. Good for us.

We had a beautiful scary pumpkin. Outside. 

I helped Niamh make it. Right on the kitchen floor. Ha.


Halloween is my favourite night. And Merry Christmas night too. 

Because we have lots and lots of tasty cheese on Merry Christmas night. And our friends are here too.

We had Mister Tony’s delicious pizzas. And we ate them in the living room. 

So we could watch for the little children. Out my watching window. Ha. That was a good dinner. 

But I had to get up way early.

Because Niamh was here early in the morning. And she did not have any tasty treats for me.

That is not all right. She always brings me Mister MacDonald’s not so tasty chip. 

When she comes home too early in the morning. Too bad for me.

Zita and I had a good morning walk this morning. It was very windy cold everywhere. 

And my own ears flapped in the fast wind. Ha. That is a good wind.

The black go fast car took Zita to her office today. 

I think it is way too windy for the bicycle. Ha.

We did not have a sleep in this morning.

Craig got all dressed right when Zita went to her own office. 

Because he had to have two too much coffees even before we had our tasty toasts. Too bad for me.

Then I had a nice nap. In front of my watching window. So I could see all the blowing everywhere leafs.

Mister Paul came to my house at lunchtime. So he could borrow the silver little car. 

Craig and I had a special from way far away Ireland dessert. For our lunchtime instead. Ha.

It was sticky all over. And very hot. I did not have a sticky piece. That is good.

Then Mister Paul brought the silver little car home. 

Because he was all finished his errands. Ha.

There is another football game up on the busy street tonight.

It is the last game. 

Because Craig’s team is not so good this year. Oh well.

When Zita came home we went for a little walk. But not too far. 

Because of the cold and dark.

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because my friend Niamh has a sick tummy. 

So she took her special sick tummy medicine. 

You have to stay in bed when you have a sick tummy. It is the rule. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Maybe we will watch something new tonight. On the television.
