Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Six

It was another get up too early in the morning day. Oh well.

Zita and I had a very long good day to everybody walk. I had to wear my boots. 

And Zita had her cover up your nose scarf. 

So we did not freeze all up and die. Ha. That is good.

Then Zita and the black car took Niamh to the beautiful clothes store. All the way downtown.

Then Zita went right away to her own office. 

Because it is still too cold to find a smelly bus.

So I minded Craig for just a little bit.

Then we got all wide awake.

Because we got brand new especially for toasts bread last night. Ha.

So we had two toasts with jam and then we looked out the watching window together. 

And we played my catch the ball game. 

Until my feet were all cold. Then we came inside.

And Craig went into the den.

But he did not find hardly any very interesting stories today. Oh well. 

So we had a nice quiet morning.

Then a man came with two black music machines.

But he took lots and lots away. That is not so fair. 

And Craig did not even stop him. I do not know why. 

But now we do not have so many lots of music machines. Oh well. Too bad for Craig.

He said the new ones are way better. 

Because they were made in our own country.

But they do not look so different to me.  Oh well. 

When Zita came home tonight she had Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagel sandwiches.

So we did not go on our before dinnertime walk. 

Because dinner was here right away. Ha. 

Niamh did not eat upstairs with us.

Because she is way too busy writing her new story. For her nice university.

When we were all finished our dinner Zita had to study her fat book. 

Because she has another reminder everything exam tomorrow. 

So I will have to mind her tonight. Right on the comfy living room rug.

While she is busy studying. Ha. That is my favourite job.

Maybe Craig will just watch another hockey game. 

Maybe his team might win. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Five

My friend Niamh was all up and awake in the dark this morning. That is not all right.

She had to go to a for everybody meeting with all the people from the beautiful clothes store.

And she did not get home from her store until I was fast asleep last night. Oh dear. 

Zita and I had a quick walk this morning. Even in the very cold outside.

Because we are very fierce Canadians. Ha. And I am very furry too. Ha. Good for us. 

The very warm black car took Zita downtown to her office. 

Because of the too cold.

I minded Craig until he was wide awake. We only had a very little sleep in. Oh well.

When we were all awake and finished our together toasty bagels it was still too cold.

So we did not go outside to play catch the ball. Oh well. 

Craig went in the den to find some brand new stories. 

So I had a little nap in the kitchen. It is nice and warm in my kitchen. That is good.

Then I went in the living room for a nap on the comfy rug. 

And then Mister Paul came over to my house. So he could fix my gate. Ha. That was nice.

And to have the delicious middle of some donuts and some too much coffees. 

Then my friend Niamh was home. 

So she could do some more writing for her university and have a nap too.

Because of the way too early in the morning meeting. Oh dear.

So I had a nice nap on my own duvet on the big comfy bed when Craig and Paul were just talking a lot.

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

Zita went to her stretching store so we had a not too far in the dark before dinnertime walk.

We had a nice altogether dinner tonight. 

Maybe we will watch the detective again tonight. 

If everybody is not too busy writing new stories. For their nice university. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Four

We did not go for a before breakfast walk this morning.

Because it was too cold outside. Oh dear. 

Now it is too slippy and too cold. That is not all right.

But I was very busy all day.

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

But she had lots and lots of stories to read for her university.

And she drove Niamh to her nice university.

Because of the very cold day today.

Craig had a sleep in today because his own hand was a bit too sore. 

When he was all awake we had our together toasts. With Zita too.

Then Craig went in the den so he could help our nice Queen.

But I stayed in the living room so I could mind Zita. 

While she was very busy reading all her important university stories. It Is an important job. 

After our lunchtime it was not so very cold so we went to find Professor Jill. 

So she could go on a nice walk with us. And the little dog too.

But the little dog went home early.

Because it was way too cold outside for just little dogs. Oh dear.

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight because Niamh has to stay until late.

So she can close the beautiful clothes store all up.

And we will not watch the detectives on the television tonight.

Because Zita has to talk to another lady about their homework for the nice university. 

So she is way too busy to watch the television. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Three

Zita and I went on our not way too early walk today.

But it was all icy rain outside and when we got home I was an icicle dog. Too bad for me.

So when Zita went downtown I minded Craig on the big comfy bed. And we had a sleep in. Ha.

When we were all fast awake we had a very nice toast. 

And I minded the house. 

From my watching window. 

There were lots of little move the side walk snow away machines.

Because it is too slippy on the sidewalks. 

And they were all over everywhere. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Craig and I did not have a together lunchtime.

Because he had Scotsman’s porridge. Too bad for me.

But I got cheesie treats on my own lunch instead.

When Niamh got up she stayed in the kitchen cooking. 

A whole bunch of tasty food for her lunchtime and her dinnertime. 

Because today is a stay until dinnertime at her university. 

And she was talking to everybody on her telephone. With loud music and cooking too.

So I went into the den so I could mind Craig and have a nice quiet nap. Ha.

There was only quiet music on the music machine in the den. 

There are two different music machines in the den. I do not know why. 

But then it was very smelly in the kitchen. 

Because Niamh’s spoon just melted. Right into her lunch. 

So she could not eat it. Oh dear. Maybe she will just starve. 

Sometimes I just starve because Craig forgets when it is my own dinnertime. 

I always have to remind him. Oh well. 

We had bagels for our another lunch. With jam. Ha.

Then I stayed in the living room so I could watch everything outside. 

And have a comfy nap too. 

And then my friend Zita came back home. And she was early today. Ha.

So we went on a before dinnertime walk before she was too tired to put her toasty warm boots on. Ha.

Zita and Niamh were very busy tonight writing new stories for the university.

So Mister Tony’s friend brought us Pizzas. For our dinner. Ha.

We will not watch detectives tonight.  So I will mind Zita when she is writing instead. 

But you have to be a very quiet minder when people are busy writing their stories. It is the rule. 

Maybe Craig will watch the hockey team on the television.

Sometimes they win. But not so very often. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Two

We had our get up early morning today. 

Because Niamh has a very early in the morning class. And so does Miss Lily.

So doctor Susan drove them to the nice university. That is nice.

It is not so very nice outside today.

Because all the snow turned into slippy ice. 

When Craig was having his first too much coffee Zita and I went for good morning walk.

It was only a little walk because everything is too slippy outside. 

And we did not want to fall down and have sore bottoms. It is known.

When the go fast car took Zita to her own office Craig and I had a very fat toast.

With blueberry jam. 

Blueberries are the bears favourite. Even the very fierce bears. Ha.

But they are all fast asleep in their comfy beds. 

Because it is winter outside. 

And bears have their own sleep ins all winter. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

Then Miss Tamina and her helper came to make our house spic and span. 

Her helper used the very noisy make the floors clean machine. 

So I went into the big bedroom and stayed on my own comfy duvet. 

But then the machine came into the big bedroom.

So I went in the den to mind my friend Craig. Ha. Good for me.

When Miss Tamina was all finished we had a very big peanut butter and honey toast sandwich. 

It was a tasty together lunchtime. 

Then I had a nice nap in the kitchen. I had a very quiet day today. 

Mister Paul came to visit us. He brought us tasty brand new croissants. Ha. 

Croissants are my favourite. I always get a pointy end. Just for me. Ha.

Craig and he had more too much coffees too. And talked a lot. 

So I had a nice nap on my comfy duvet. Good for me. It was a very quiet day.

We are not going to have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because tonight is a stay until late night at the university for Niamh. 

So Craig is going to make dinner all by himself. Oh dear. 

A chicken dinner. All cooked in the oven. Oh dear. 

Zita made a full of everything plastic bag. Even the chicken too. 

So he can cook the chicken by himself. Ha. 

When Niamh came home Miss Lily came too. 

They could not have their dinner with us.

Because they had too many new stories to read for their nice university. Oh dear.

So they had to have ice cream too. Ha. 

Then Craig and Zita and I watched a new detective from way way far away Japan. 

But he is not in Japan. He is in way far away London. Oh dear. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty One

It is another too much snow day today. 

Because it was snowing all night again. Oh dear. 

We only had a little sleep in this morning.

Before the black car took Niamh to her job. At the beautiful clothes store.

I minded Craig after we went on our good morning walk. 

You cannot go on very long walks on too much snow days.

Because the snow is too deep and I get a cold tummy. That is not so nice.

Nobody want a cold tummy. It is known.

When I was minding Craig Zita was shoveling away the too much snow. 

Before it got too cold.

Because then all the snow would be just ice. Just like that. As quick as can be. Oh dear.

You cannot shovel ice. You have to use the dangerous ice chopping stick. Oh dear.

When Zita came in we had our toasts. I had some crunchy bits. 

Craig and Zita had some too much coffees. I did not have any. 

Then it was time to see my friend Emmet. On Zita’s fast computer. 

All the way from way far away Cork. In Ireland. In his very little apartment. Ha. 

I could see him. But some times he does not move. And then he moves very fast. That is silly.

He is going to visit an even way older university. In way far away England. 

They asked him to visit them. 

So he could tell everybody all about one of his brand new stories. 

And he is going to stay with his friends. In his friend’s little house. Right there. At the very very old bridge university. Ha.

Zita is going to way far away too. Maybe Emmet will come to visit her in Dublin. Ha.

So he can have some very tasty sausages. And maybe biscuits and tea too. 

Cousin Orlaith was in Cork too. To see her friend and Emmet too. But she hurt her foot again. Oh dear. 

I think she needs a new foot. Oh dear. One that works all time. Not just some time. Oh dear.

This afternoon Zita was studying for her university class. So I minded her. In the living room. Ha.

When her head was all full up we went for our before dinner walk. Even in the very deep snow.

I did not want to go and have cold feet.

But because going for a nice walk with me always makes her head feel much better. 

When it gets all full up to the top with her university stories. 

So went right away. Ha. That is my best job.

I was very soggy when I got home. And not even a bit warm. 

Zita had to move even more too much snow.

And I could not be a big help because had to stay in the house. Oh dear. 

And mind everything from my watching window. 

That is not such good minding. It is known.

And then Zita moved our cars. Both of them. 

Because they were all covered up by the too much snow. 

So Zita had to take all their snow away too. Oh dear.

But when she was all finished I minded her. On her feet. Ha.

Because she had to do more studying for her nice university. 

Before dinnertime the black go fast car went downtown to find Niamh.

So we could have a lovely altogether dinner tonight. 

Maybe we will watch new detectives tonight. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty

We did not have a nice sleep in this morning.

Because Zita had to be at her university early in the morning today.

Because of her remember everything exam.

So I took her for a very early in the morning walk. All by myself.

Then the black go fast car took her right to the university and I minded Craig. In the comfy bed.

But he did not even have a sleep in either.

It is his Saturday go to his old friends breakfast.

But he was a bit sore all night so he stayed here. To help me look out my watching window.

So we had very fat toasts right away. Even before his next too much coffee. Ha.

And then Niamh was all awake early too. 

So she could have her squeaky clean shower. Before she went to her downtown work. 

The big nasty dog who jumped out at Zita was on my street again. 

But I barked at him very very fiercely and he went away. 

He should not be on my street. It is not his street. Too bad for him. 

I saw lots and lots of people with ice skating shoes. 

They were going to the all frozen empty canal. 

So they could go skating and have delicious treats. 

There are special little tasty treats houses right on top of the ice. Ha. 

And you can get your own treats and hot chocolate to make to all toasty warm inside. Ha.

Then Craig and I played catch the ball. It is not too cold today. 

But the television person said it is going to be another too much snow day. Oh dear. 

That is not such a good idea. 

So I had a nice nap. 

Cara came to visit me before lunchtime. And to get Niamh’s medicine. 

And take it to the beautiful clothes store.

Because she forgot it. 

Maybe Niamh is getting old too. Ha. 

Craig said everybody everywhere gets old. Oh well. 

Maybe It is because of the clocks. Or all the time brand new years. Maybe. 

Craig had to have Scotsman’s porridge for his lunchtime.

Because of the famous Scotsman’s birthday. Oh well.

I did not have to have any porridge at all. 

Because I got green bean treats for my lunchtime instead. Ha. Green beans are my favourite. 

Then it was as snowy as could be outside. 

I went out to find my big red ball and when I came in I had to stay in the kitchen.

Because I was an all snow dog. Oh well. 

So Craig and I waited until I was as dry as a chip.

When Zita came home she had brand new chips. Ha. 

And more Scotsman’s porridge.

Because Craig ate up all we had. By himself.  Ha. That is silly.

We did not go for a before dinnertime walk. 

So we would not get lost in the windy too much snow. Ha. That was a good idea.

Maybe we will watch the detective tonight.

We did not watch anything last night. 

Because Zita was studying all the time for her exam. 

So I minded her. I was very very quiet.

You have to be very quiet when people are studying for their university classes. It is the rule. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Nine

Zita and Niamh and I got up very very early this morning. 

Because Niamh had to get the beautiful clothes store all ready today. Too bad for us.

So the black go fast car drove Niamh to downtown in the still dark outside.

Then Zita came back home for a little rest. 

And to say good morning to my friend Emmet. He is still very busy all the time.

He has to go to his very old university today. 

Because somebody at his university wrote a brand new book. All about the very long time ago in Ireland. 

And they want everybody to come and see it and have tasty treats too. Ha.

He said we will see him right on the computer in a few days. That is good. 

I was very very very busy this morning.

Zita did not go to the rascal ladies office today.

Because she had to go see see Craig’s mother to help the dentist. I do not know why.

And then all the giant take the snow away machines in the world were here. 

On my own street. To take all the too much snow away.

And on my own corner too. Oh dear.

And the throw the snow away machine went up and down my street too many times. 

They were way too noisy. 

But I guarded the house and Craig too. All by myself. Ha. That is a hard job.

I do not like all those way too big and noisy machines. 

There were even the very scary little noisy clean the sidewalks machines everywhere. 

They do not even care when I bark at them. I do not care either. 

So I bark very fiercely at them anyway. It is my own very important job. Ha. 

When Zita came home I went in the black go fast car to see my nice Doctor Waller. 

To see why I was sick a while ago. 

My Doctor Waller said I was the nicest dog ever. Ha. That is true.

But he did not know why I was sick. Me either. Oh well.

When I got home I had a very nice nap. In the living room. Right beside Zita. 

When you go to see your doctor makes you a bit too tired. It is known.

Zita was studying the very fat book for her university class. 

Because she has a remember everything exam tomorrow. Oh dear.

But I was a big help. I was as quiet as could be.

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

I did not need to mind him this afternoon. 

Zita said she cannot take Emmet’s brand new pin with her to way far away.

Because it is too pointy for aeroplanes. Oh dear.

Maybe that is why I Craig said I cannot go on the aeroplanes with Zita or Emmet. 

And go to way far away Ireland to mind them. 

Because of my very pointy teeth. Maybe. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

We will have to send Emmet his do not always fall down blanket pin in a fat envelope. 

And then it will go to way far away Cork university. All by itself. 

When Niamh came home she had brand new very fat bottom leather boots. 

A doctor made them. Ha. That is silly. 

Mister Jack came to my house. To take away lots of our own too much snow. 

He is not so very noisy. That is good. 

I did not go for a before dinnertime walk today.

Because I was still too tired. Ha. So I had another nice beside Zita nap.

We did not have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because my friend Niamh had her dinner with Cara and Lee. 

And my friend Emmet is still in his old university in way far away. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

We watched a new not too scary detective last night. 

Maybe we will watch him again tonight. 

Or maybe Zita will study her big book some more. For her tomorrow exam.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Eight

It is not so cold today so I took my friend Zita for a very nice good morning walk.

But I had to wear my green rubber boots. Oh well.

Because of all the nasty salt on the sidewalks and the road too. Oh dear. 

Then Zita and the black go fast car went downtown to the rascal ladies office.

So I minded Craig. We only had a little sleep in. 

Because he was all finished listening to his interesting book. 

So we had our together toasts. With brand new tasty blackberry jam. From far away Ireland. 

Niamh was downstairs reading stories for her university.

Because this is an all day studying day. 

So we had a very nice very quiet day. All morning. That is good. 

Craig had porridge for his lunchtime so I had a very long nap on my very comfy duvet.

Because today is a nice day to have a quiet day. 

But then it was not quiet anymore. Oh dear me.

The giant take the snow all away machines were on our streets. Maybe doctor Susan’s street.

And they make way too much noise. Too much scary noise. I do not like that at all.

So I went into our den so I could guard Craig. Ha. It is my job. Good for me.

Then they came right on my own street. Right on my corner.

Even the giant eat the icy snow all up machines. 

And they throw it all away into giant trucks. Oh dear. 

And there were giant move the snow right into the road machines too. 

On my own street

I give them my very fiercest scary barks. But they do not care.

Craig says you cannot scare those machines. That is not all right.

How can I be the best minder dog in the world if I cannot scare dangerous noisy machines away. Oh dear me.

The last Merry Christmas present came today. Oh dear.

It is for my friend Emmet. 

It is a pretend very very old Irish pin. 

Because he always wears his blanket warped around him. 

Now they will not just fall off. Ha. That is a good present. 

When Zita came home we only had a quick walk.

Because of all the dangerous machines everywhere. Oh dear.

We had an altogether dinner tonight. 

A nice man brought all of us Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagel sandwiches. That is a good dinner. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Seven

Zita and I only had a little sleep in today. It is Zita’s do not go to work day today.

When we were all awake I minded her. In the living room.

Because she had to read her fat book for her university class. 

And she was still in her pajamas. Ha. 

Then Craig was awake too so we had our toasts altogether.

When we have together toasts I alway get more tasty bits. Ha. 

Then Zita got dressed so we could go for a lovely long walk in the full of sunshine outside.

It is only a little bit very cold today. 

Because it is very sunny. That is nice.

We could not find my lost boot when we went on our before dinnertime walk last night. 

So now it is all gone in the too much snow. Oh dear.

Now the throw the snow away machine will throw it all away. Too bad for me.

Now I will have to have only three warm feet. Oh dear me.

When we came home from our before lunchtime walk Zita made us cheese on little crunchy crackers. Ha. 

That is a good lunch.

We did not have any porridge today. Ha.

Then Zita read some more stories for her nice university.

Zita had to go to our own aeroport today. To make changes to her trip to way far away Ireland.

Because the aeroport made a mistake. I do not know why. And they do not want to fix it. 

Maybe it is an old aeroport and forgets things. 

Craig’s mother always forgets that I am a lady dog. And she is very very old too. Oh well. 

Zita is going to see her mother and father. And Auntie Eileen and maybe the cousins too. 

And have a lovey dinner with my friend Emmet. So he will not starve all away. Ha. 

She has two too late Merry Christmas present books to take there too. Ha. 

It is always nice to get presents. It is known.

After lunchtime it was time for my afternoon comfy nap. On my own duvet. 

So Niamh wanted to have a nice nap with me. 

Because we are friends.Ha. 

This afternoon Niamh is going to work at the beautiful clothes store until late tonight. Oh well.

So Zita and the black go fast car took Niamh downtown and then it took Zita to her stretching store.

Now we will not have an altogether dinner tonight. oh well.

The present man brought us another too late for Merry Christmas present. 

It was a for everybody present. Except Emmet.

Now we have lots of brand new special spoons the from way way far away China soups.

Emmet does not like soups so much. Too bad for him. 

We watched a brand new detective last night. He is in way far away Italy. 

But it is not now. It is a long while ago. He does not have a nice dog to help him. Oh well.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Six

Zita and I had a very early in the morning walk today. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

It was still a very cold day outside so I had to wear my keep your feet warm boots. 

And we even lost one. In the way too much snow. Oh well.

We could not say good morning to everybody today.

Because there was nobody outside with us today. 

I think they were all still fast asleep. Too bad for them.

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

Because it is too cold to find a smelly bus. Oh dear.

So when she was gone I minded Craig. Right on top of the big comfy bed.

And we had a little sleep in today.

Because Craig was listening to an interesting book. And it was about the Punics. Ha.

Emmet used to write stories all about the Punics. 

They had fierce giant elephants. Who climbed mountains. Ha. Those were good elephants.

The Punic stories were my favourite stories. It is know. 

But Emmet does not know all about them anymore. 

You cannot have those fierce elephants in Ireland.

Because there no mountains for them to climb.

Now he knows all about famous very very old Irish heroes. And sometimes their dogs too. 

Famous heroes always have fierce brave dog helpers. It is a rule. Ha. 

Then we got up so we could have our breakfast toasts. And Craig’s too much coffees. 

Then Craig went into the den so he could help our nice Queen. 

So I minded him. On the comfy rug.

Then Mister Paul came to take all the icy snow off the silver little car. 

So he could borrow it.

Because he had to get things too big to put on a smelly bus. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

It took a long time to get all the too much snow off the silver car. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

Last night Niamh got a prize. At the beautiful clothes store party. A special piece of paper.

And a lemon. With her own name on it. That is a nice present. 

But it was not a real lemon. It is a pretend lemon. I do not know why. Nobody told me. 

Craig had Scotsman’s porridge again. From way far away Ireland. That is silly. 

I did not have any. I got a crunchy treat instead. Ha. Dogs do not like porridge so much.

It is made with lots and lots of oatmeal. Horses like oatmeal. 

I do not know if they like porridge. Oh well. 

When Mister Paul came back he had tasty croissants with. 

So Craig and Paul and I had croissants. At the dining room table.

Niamh and Miss Tarryn were in the kitchen cooking lots of lunchtimes for going to work.

They were making pretend from India food. Ha. It is a bit too smelly. Oh well.

Then Niamh went to her nice university for her class. 

It is not a stay until late at night day. 

So maybe we will have our altogether dinner tonight. That is good. 

When Zita came home it was only nearly all dark today. Ha. 

So I took Zita for a not too far walk. And to try to find my lost boot. Oh dear. 

It was not so cold this afternoon. That is good. 

Maybe we will watch some brand new detectives tonight. Ha. That is a good idea.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Five

It is another very cold outside day today.

Zita and I did not go for our good morning walk.

Because we did not want to turn into frozen icicles. 

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

But today she took delicious desserts for all the other ladies.

Because they had a everybody bring something tasty for an altogether lunch today. That is nice.

So then I minded Craig on the big comfy bed. 

But only for a very little time.

Because he said we needed our toasts. Ha. That was a good idea.

We looked out my watching window when Craig had his too much coffees.

At the move the snow noisy machines. 

But they made snow walls all along my streets. 

I told them not to do that. I told them very loudly.

But they cannot hear nice dogs. 

Because they are way too noisy. Too bad for us. 

And they are too high and too slippy to climb over. That is not all right.

Niamh’s friend came to take her to their nice university this morning. In her little car. 

Because it is too cold to walk there today. 

Niamh said maybe they will have some delicious hot chocolate or treats before their class. 

To make them toasty warm again.

They have a hot chocolate store even inside the beautiful library. Ha.

We had fat bread peanut butter and honey sandwiches for our lunchtime. 

Then Craig was a Viking again. 

So I minded him. 

Right beside him. In our comfy den. Ha. That is an easy job.

He just listened to quiet music and read his book. Ha. I had my own after lunchtime nap. Ha.

When Zita came home I did not want to go for a before dinnertime walk.

Because it is still too cold. And I did not want to wear my keep my feet warm boots. Ha. 

Niamh is at her nice university until late tonight so I only had to mind Craig and Zita at dinner. Ha. That is easy.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Four

It is a full of too much snow day. 

Because it was snowing all night when everybody was fast asleep.

But today is a nobody has to do anything day. Ha. That is a good day.

Zita did not have a sleep in today. Me either. 

We had to talk to her mother and father in way far away Dublin. 

On the telephone. Not on the computer.

Then Craig was all awake too. He did not have a nice sleep in either. Oh well.

So we had our toasts altogether looking out my watching window at all the too much snow.

There was snow all over everywhere. I could not even see our own sidewalk. Oh dear.

Then Zita had to read some new stories for her university. 

So I minded her. Ha. That is an easy job.

Last when night I went outside for only a little bit of time I came in covered in icy snow. Oh dear.

So Zita had to use my lovely towels to get me all toasty warm again. Oh dear.

Then we went in the den to watch the nice church man detective. 

We did not look out the window at the windy snow. Not even one time. Ha too bad for it.

This morning when Zita was finished reading her interesting for her university stories she went outside.

To move lots of the too much snow.

I could not help. I could only watch her from the window.  

That is not all right. I like being a big help. It is my best job.

But they do not make move the snow shovels for nice helper dogs. That is not all right.

Then I had to go in the den with Craig. 

Maybe because of some too much barking. Maybe.

Then I sat in the black car so I could watch everything when Zita was moving all the snow. Ha. 

That is my favourite job. 

After Zita moved lots of snow away from my side yard we were going to go for a nice walk.

But we could not go.

Because the snow was up to my tummy. It is not so nice to have a cold tummy.

So I helped Niamh make a very tasty cheesie chips lunch. For everybody. 

She said I was a big help. When I was not being a too much barking dog. Oh well. 

So after lunchtime we went for our walk. 

But because the noisy machines moved only a bit of the snow we did not have a very long walk.

Because it is too hard walking in the too deep snow. For me too.

So when we came home Zita had a cosy warm squeaky clean shower.

And then I had a nice nap.

So I could mind Zita when she was reading more stories for her university. Good for me.

I only had to mind Craig and Zita at dinnertime tonight.

Because Niamh was with her friends at a beautiful clothes store dinner party.

After dinner maybe we will watch more detectives tonight. 

Maybe we will have some treats too. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Three

It was so cold outside today that I had to have my other boots on.

The keep your feet warm boots. Oh dear. I do not like them so much.

We had a nice walk anyway. 

It was an early in the morning walk because today Zita went to her brand new class. 

At our own nice university. Ha.

Then I kept Craig company on the big warm comfy bed. 

He did not go to his old friends breakfast. 

Because of the way too cold. Too bad for him.

So we had our own breakfast together. Because we are old friends too. Ha.

Then Niamh was all awake and dressed. So she could go to the beautiful clothes store.

A car came to find her. 

Because it was too cold to go and find the always late smelly bus. Oh dear me.

Soon it will be the famous Scotsman’s day. He had a lovely dog Mister Lauth. But he died.

So the man wrote a very beautiful poem all about him. 

So when they make giant statues of the famous man Mister Lauth is there too. Ha. That is just right. 

He wrote lots of famous poems. All about Scots people. 

And about fighting the English people too. A long time ago. 

So Craig had Scotsman’s porridge for his lunchtime. I do not like porridge. Oh well. 

We only went into my side yard a few times today.

Because of the very cold outside. 

Mister Tom came to bring us brand new detectives for our after dinner watching the television time. Ha.

That was very nice.

Because when Zita came home I looked out my window and it was nasty blowing everywhere snow. Oh dear

And she had a brand new very big bag of my own tasty food. Ha. That is good.

So now we can just watch Mister Tom’s brand new programs in our lovely warm house.

And not go outside in the nasty snow. 

So we did not go for a before dinnertime walk today. 

Because nobody wants to go for their walks in nasty blowing snow. It is known. Me either. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Two

It was an everybody get up up day today. 

But Zita and I went for an not so very far walk.

Because it was a way too cold day outside today. 

We did not want to been as frozen as could be. 

So we came back home to our nice warm house nearly right away. Ha. 

Niamh was nearly late for her work today. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Zita moved all the cars so she could go to downtown and not be all frozen.

And so the black go fast car could wait for her.

While she was at her rascal ladies office.

After Zita went to downtown Craig and I had the fat toasts again. With the raspberries jam.

The toasts were not too toasty today. 

But we had lots of delicious jam anyway. Good for us.

It is a very sunny day today. 

Lots of times it is very cold and very sunny all at the same time. That is silly.

We looked out my watching window. But only for a little while.

Because it was not so interesting watching today. Nobody is outside when it is way too cold. 

I had my peanut butter treat and then I had a nice nap in the kitchen. I had a nice quiet day today.

We did not play the catch the ball game today. 

The go fast chair does not like the way too cold so much. That is good. 

So we only went outside a few times.

And I did not want to have too cold feet. So we stayed inside a lot today.

After our lunchtime Craig was a fierce Viking again. 

So I had a big nap on my comfy duvet. Ha. Good for me. 

But then the presents man came and woke me up. Oh well.

It was another too late for Merry Christmas present. For my friend Emmet. Oh dear.

Maybe Zita can take it to him when she visits way far away Ireland. 

It is a not so very big book. 

Then Zita and Niamh came home altogether.

Because they went to the other food store. Now we have lots of food for our dinnertimes. Ha.

And then Niamh cooked a pizza. 

Because she did not have a tasty lunch when she was at her beautiful clothes store. Oh dear. 

Zita and I did not have to go for our before dinnertime walk in the very cold outside.

Because now I am a nearly old dog I do not have to go for walks if I do not want to. Ha. That is good.

And tomorrow the radio man said it was going to be a way too much snow day. Again. Oh dear me.

And tomorrow people can go skating all over our own all empty canal. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

We did not have our dinner together with Niamh tonight.

Because it was too early for our dinner.

So I had my first dinner and Zita read her fat book.

Because she is going to our nice university tomorrow. To learn brand new things.

Now everybody is at university except for Craig and me. 

Because we have to mind the house when everybody is at their universities. Ha. Good for us.

We will watch the scary program from Wales again tonight. We did not watch all of it last night.

I barked at it last night. 

Because there was a little baby crying. That is not all right. Oh dear.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty One

When I woke up this morning there was even more snow. All over everywhere.

So Zita and I had a little early in the morning walk. 

Because it is a bit hard walking in the too deep snow. Oh well.

But it is a full of sunshine sky today. That is good.

So the snow was as bright as can be. Ha. 

Then the silver little car took Zita to her rascal ladies office. 

The black go fast car had a vacation day today. 

And I had a sleep in with my friend Craig. Ha. 

He was listening to his book all about a very big battle with lots and lots of ships. 

And aeroplanes too. All in a dangerous ocean. 

They were not our go to way far away aeroplanes. Just old aeroplanes.

Like Craig’s father’s very old and very noisy aeroplane. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

But it was a long time ago. 

When we were all fast awake we had our own delicious toasts.

We had the very good for toasts bread today. 

And we had the jam from Ireland full of raspberries. We had lots of jam.

Because the toasts were a little too toasty today. Oh well. 

If you have lots of jams you cannot see the too toasty bits. Ha.

Niamh does not have to go to work today. Today is a read all her university stories day. 

So she went to her nice university with all her books. 

There were lots of the noisy clean the sidewalks machines on my corner today. Oh dear.

That was not so nice. 

Sometimes they just stay right on my corner being noisy. Too bad for me.

Craig and I had fat peanut butter and honey sandwiches today. They were not toasty.

Because Craig is not so very good making not too toasty toasts. Ah. Too bad for him. 

Craig was busy this afternoon finding his interesting stories. 

So I had a nice nap in the kitchen and then I looked for everything in the too much snow.

In my own side yard. 

But then I had a very icy face. Craig said I was a Poppyscicle. Oh dear. 

That was not a very nice thing to say. Too bad for him. 

Mister Jack came to take away lots of the too much snow.  Ha. That is good.

He had to use the big sharp chop up the ice stick. Oh dear. 

So Zita and I went on our just a little walk before our dinner.

It is only us tonight.

Because Niamh is going out with her beautiful clothes store friends. 

We had special delicious soup from the very delicious and tasty baking store. 

Where we always get our Sing Happy Birthday cakes. 

Now they have take it home for you own dinner food too. Ha. That is a good idea.

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

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty

I had a very nice sleep last night.

Because we went to our comfy bed early. Ha. That was a good idea.

We did not go for our before dinner walk last night. 

When you were a bit too sick you do not have to go on walks if you do not want to. Ha.

So we had a nice walk this morning. 

It is not dark outside in the morning. That is good for walks. Ha. 

Nothing can catch you when it is not dark outside. It is known.

Niamh was up early this morning because she is minding two little girls today. For money.

I do not know why. Oh well.

Then she has to go to her beautiful clothes store until late tonight. Oh dear.

I am nearly not sick at all today. That is good.

Zita talked to auntie Eileen this morning. On the telephone. I minded her. Right on her feet. 

So she would have toasty warm feet. Ha. Good for me.

We had a very nice quiet day today. That is good. 

They had a giant windy all the time storm in Ireland. 

So my friend Emmet just hid in his very little apartment. 

And looked out his window. And read his very interesting old books. Ha. That is good. 

Craig was a little busy today. Finding interesting stories for the Queen. 

After lunchtime Mister Paul came for a nice have some coffee and cookies visit.

And to get the where to put holes in the wall machine. 

I do not think you should put hole in walls. Oh dear. Maybe he will get in trouble. Too bad for him.

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

When she was all smelly she went and found our silver little car and brought it back to our house. 

So it can be with it’s friend the black go fast car. 

It is always nice to have your friends beside you.

I have lots of friends. They come to visit all the time. That is nice. To have biscuits and Irish tea.

Only Craig and Zita and I are here for our dinner tonight. 

Because Niamh is at her work and my friend Emmet will be fast asleep in way far away Cork.

Because of the all the time wrong clocks. Oh dear. 

Sometimes Emmet forgets to eat. 

So the cousins have to go Cork city and show him where the tasty restaurants are. That is nice. 

Because he is nearly not there. And the fierce winds will just blow him right up into the air. 

Just like a bird. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

That is why you have to have tasty food all the time. Or you will be just like a fly away bird. Ha.

Maybe we will watch the new detective program tonight. 

The radio lady said it would be snowing all night tonight. Oh dear. That is not so nice. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Nine

I am still not feeling all well. Maybe I am still a bit sore.

So last night I just slept on the soft rug in the living room. 

I did not want to go to my comfy bed. Oh dear.

So then my friend Zita came in late late at night and slept right beside me on the sofa. 

So I was not just all alone. 

It is not so nice to be all alone when you are not feeling so very well. It is known. 

Craig got up early too. And Craig and Zita and I had our toasts together. 

And then we had even more toasts. Ha. 

Zita and I went for a nice very little walk. Not so far today. 

I do not like my new medicine so much. It makes me way too sleepy all the time.

So I did not have any this morning. Ha. 

Niamh went to the beautiful clothes store early today. 

Then she has to go to her university. Oh dear.

The silver little car took Zita to her own office this morning. 

Because Mister Mike is still fixing Zita’s go fast car. Oh dear.,

Craig and I looked out my watching window for a while.

Because a very big and very noisy truck with a lot of men stopped right on my corner. For a long time. 

Craig said they taking all the ice away from the holes in the street. Oh well.

When they were all gone I had another nice nap. Beside my friend Craig. 

Then my friend Niamh came home. To get comfy clothes to go to her university classes. 

It is a stay until late at night tonight at her university. So you have to have comfy clothes.

Miss Lilly wrote a story in our nice university’s own newspaper. 

But it was only about cats. Oh well. 

Miss Lilly sent us the picture of Niamh reading the newspaper. Cats are not so interesting. Ha.

Before lunchtime Craig went in the den. But I stayed in the living room. 

On the comfy rug.

Then after my lunch Craig made our together lunch.

We had very crunchy peanut butter and honey toasts. In the den. I had two very crunchy bits. Ha.

Then I had a lovely nap. In the kitchen on my own comfy rug. 

Then I went to my watching window so I could watch for my friend Zita. 

And see if there are any wolves hiding anywhere.

When she came home she brought her black go fast car with her. Ha. That is good. 

The silver little car is having a rest at Mister Mikes’s store. Until tomorrow.

I am not so very sleepy all the time now. That is good. 

Maybe we will watch the old churchman detective tonight. 

He does not have a very scary program. That is good.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Eight

Everybody got up early this morning.

Because I was not feeling so very well. I did not want to lie down. I do not know why.

So Zita and Niamh took me to see Miss Armstrong my very nice doctor. We went right away.

And we went in doctor Susan’s new car.

Because our cars were all frozen in the too much icy snow. 

But I did not have stay at the little hospital. I only had to have a little visit. 

I had to have some tests. But Zita and Niamh kept me company. 

You should always have your friends keep you company when anything is a bit scary. It is known.

Then things are not too scary. They are just a little bit scary. Ha.

Then we went back home in doctor Susan’s new car.

I only like being at my own house. With my very own family. It is known.

My doctor gave me some brand new do not be very sore medicine.

So I can get all better. That is good.

You have to have do not be sore medicine when you get old. Dogs too.

But I did not know I was an old dog. Nobody told me. 

Maybe I got old when we found the brand new year. Maybe.

Craig is old too. That is why he takes medicine for his not so very good anymore shoulders.

And Craig has to take it easy some days. 

Maybe I can have those days too. Ha. That is a good idea.

We took Niamh to her nice university before we came home to our own house.

And when I was all back home Miss Tamina was here. And her helper too.

They were making the house all spic and span. 

But I had a very big sleep right on the rug in the living room. So I could mind my friend Zita too.

And she kept me company when I was fast asleep. Craig helped too. 

Because they are my family.

Now I have a bandage on my leg. 

Because they took away some of my blood. 

So they will know why I had to go to my hospital. Oh dear.

Going to the hospital makes you very tired. It is known.

So Zita did not go to her work today. 

She just stayed here to help Craig mind me. Ha. That is nice.

We had two toasts for our lunchtime. 

I got four crunchy bits. Ha. Good for me. 

Then Zita took the black go fast car to Mister Mike’s fix your car store. 

So it would be all happy again.

So I watched her from my watching window. 

She had to take all the icy snow off the car. That took a long time. Too bad for her. 

Then I had my tasty lunch. With cheese on top. Ha. 

When she came home I had another nap. Right beside her. 

She was reading her book for her brand new class at our nice university.

Because she is going to take some more interesting classes. 

But only on Saturdays. Not all the days this time.

So I was very quiet when she was reading her book.

Because I was way fast asleep. 

My brand new medicine made me a bit very sleepy. Oh well.

We did not have an afternoon walk. 

Because of my new medicine. So I had a nice nap instead.

But I was nearly awake for our dinnertime. I got more cheese on my dinner. Ha. 

But I am still a bit not just all right. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Maybe I will go to my comfy bed early tonight. That is a good idea.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Seven

We did not go for our before breakfast walk today.

Because when I was fast asleep the weather remembered it was wintertime. 

And now there is snow everywhere again. 

And it was still all windy icy snow outside. Oh dear.

It was too slippy to go for a nice walk. 

So I minded Zita when she talked to her parents. In way far away Dublin.

Craig did not have his sleep in today. Oh well.

And Miss Georgie did not get all awake at the right time. 

So her aeroplane went to Toronto without her. Oh dear.

Then Craig and Zita and I had our breakfast toasts.

And we looked out my watching window at all the brand new too much snow. Oh dear.

And then the beautiful clothes store called Niamh. 

Because someone else forgot to go to their work today. Oh goodness. 

So my friend Niamh went instead. But she had to go on the smelly bus.

Because Zita had to talk to the rascal ladies on the telephone. Oh dear.

It is an Oh Dear Me day today. Oh well. 

I minded Zita when she was talking to all the rascal ladies. I was very quiet. Good for me.

You have to be very quiet when people have important things to talk about. It is known.

Zita said I was the quietest dog ever. Ha. Good for me.

Then we had our lunchtime. And I got some special cheese treats. Ha. 

Today is the special day for everybody in the whole world who has red hair. I do not know why.

But my friend Niamh has red hair. All the time. 

Some people do not always have the same colour of hair. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Craig used to black hair. But now it is just all grey. 

I do not have red hair. 

But now I have some grey hairs. 

But not so much as Craig. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita talked to professor Jill so we went on our not very long walk altogether. 

The icy wind was very cold. So we did not stay outside for so long.

Then I helped Zita shovel the icy snow. It was very hard snow. 

Because of the freezie rain. We could not take it all away. Oh dear. 

We will ask Mister Kirian to shovel it all away. Ha. That is a good idea.

We had only us for dinner tonight. So minding everybody was very easy.

Tonight we will watch the nice detective. The one who has his very own church. 

Mister Tom brought him to our house today. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Six

It is silly day today. It is a rain all the time day. And not cold at all. That is not all right. 

When Zita and I went for our long before breakfast walk there was nobody outside. Just us.

And everything was very slippy outside. So we had a very careful walk this morning. 

So we did not fall down at all. But we were very soggy when we got home.

And it is Craig’s old friends breakfast day today. But he did not go.

Because of the all the time rain. Oh dear.

He did not have even a little sleep in. 

So we had our toasts and jam together and looked at the nasty slippy outside.

Zita went to have her nice breakfast with doctor Susan and Miss Chris. I did not go.

Because I had to mind everybody here.

When I got fast awake Miss Georgie was here too. In the basement. Fast asleep. Ha.

Then she had a squeaky clean shower. 

A car took Niamh and Miss Georgie to downtown. 

So Niamh could go to her beautiful clothes store. 

Because of the all the time rain.

Zita went to the make you beautiful store after lunchtime. In the all the time rain.

Craig and I did not play catch the ball today. 

He did not want to be as soggy as could be. Oh well. 

I had a nice afternoon nap on my comfy duvet. On the big comfy bed. Ha. Good for me.

Our cousin Orlaith was in way far away Cork today. To visit her friend.

And so she could take my friend Emmet out for tea and tasty treats. 

So he will not starve away into just nothing. 

This afternoon Craig and watched a program on the television. 

All about a professor at Emmet’s university. Right in Cork. Ha. 

I even saw the buildings where Emmet goes to tell everybody all about his very very old Irish heroes. Ha.

And I saw even the same door that Emmet uses. Ha. That was nice.

But Emmet was not there. It was another man.

Because Emmet was having his tea with cousin Orlaith. He was not on the television. Ha.

When Zita got home we went for our dinnertime walk. Even in the still rainy outside. Oh well.

I had to wear my keep you all dry coat as can be and my rubber boots too. But I was still a soggy dog.

But we found Professor Jill. She and the little dog were all soggy too. Oh dear.

Then Zita and I made our own delicious dinner before she went downtown to find Niamh.

To bring her home for our own delicious dinner. 

I stayed in the kitchen. 

Because I was still all soggy. Again. Too bad for me.

Last night we watched all of the detective from the very far away ice land. 

But it was not full of ice. So that is a silly name.

We will have to find a brand new detective program tonight. Ha,
