Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty Two

We went to bed early last night so nobody was tired at all this morning.

So Zita and I had a lovely long walk.

Because it was not hot outside at all.

But we could not just stay and look at all the beautiful gardens because we had to go to work again. Too bad for us.

Niamh had a very big sleep in this morning and then she had her squeaky clean shower. 

So now she does not smell just like the cottage lake. Ha. That is good.

Craig and I had round toasts this morning. But I only got a very very little piece. 

Because of being a bit too chubley. Too bad for me.

At lunchtime Zita went for a ride on her not so very fast bicycle. 



Because it was still very beautiful outside.

And then Craig got into his go fast chair so he could help me mind the house. 

Niamh was in my side yard seeing all her friends right on her telephone. That was not so very interesting.

So I came inside to mind Craig. Ha. That is an easy job. 


Because he just reads his books and listens to music on the music machine. Ha. 

Then I helped him make a very big and delicious peanut butter and honey sandwich.

It was for our together second lunch. Ha.

Then it was just the right time for my afternoon nap. Ha.


But it was a very sad afternoon because Mister Sunny, cousin Christina’s very best friend had to go to heaven today. 



But he already has lots and lots of friends there. Miss Christina told us. So it is true. 

And his legs will not so sore all the time. 

Dogs always have lots of friends in heaven. 

Especially their family’s other dogs. And they always want to know all the new stories about their best friends. 

And there are lots and lots of treats everywhere and you never get too chubbly. Ha. 

But we are very sad anyway. Oh dear me. 

I think sometimes there are too many sad days. Dogs do not like sad days. It is known. 

Before dinnertime Zita and Niamh brought the new bed inside. 

I was a very big help. 

But we cannot sleep on it right away.

Because it was all rolled up and squished. 



And now it has to stretch itself all out. My goodness that is silly. 

We had a very nice together dinner tonight. 

But not an altogether dinner because my friend Emmet is in his way far away in Ireland university. Too bad for us. 

Maybe we will watch a nice detective program tonight. 

Maybe a nice quiet one. Maybe. 








Monday 30 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty One

We had a very nice all night sleep.

So we went for a very nice very long walk this morning.

Because it was a very beautiful day today. 

Then we had our together breakfast. 

But we did not have a lovely look out the window time.

Because it was our back to work Monday. 

But it was a very quiet day.

Because Niamh is still up at the cottage with Tara and Aidan and Taylor. 

They even stayed more nights because it was a beautiful day to be at the cottage. Ha.



When you are at a cottage you have to sit beside the water to have your good morning to everything breakfast. It is the rule. 



Maybe Mister Ryder will come over from his cottage and help Niamh play catch the ball. Maybe. 



Mister Ryder is a keep the silly sheep safe dog. 



He is not so big as me. But he is very fast. Ha. 

He even went to a special chase silly sheep school. Ha. Good for him.

I did not go to a guard the cows school.

Because we cannot have big smelly cows in our neighbourhood. 

We only have giant raccoons and awful squirrels. And sometimes the very very smelly skunks. Oh well. 

There was a coyote in my neighbourhood but it went all fast away.

Because there are lots of fierce dogs on our streets. Just like me. Ha. 

I minded Zita in our office all morning. I am always her very best helper assistant. It is known.

And at lunchtime I helped Craig eat his Scotsman’s scone. It was full of very tasty raspberries. Ha. 

But then Zita had to go to downtown because of the computers. Oh dear. 

So I went into the living room to look out the watching window and waited for her. Ha. 

Waiting for your family is a very important job for dogs. 

So they know there will always be a very happy dog there when they come home. 

That always makes them happy too. Ha. 

This afternoon there were lots of dogs going for their walks. 



But Zita and I went early because it was not so hot outside before breakfast. Good for us. 

Emmet told us he forgot his important dragons game papers. Oh goodness me. That is not so very good.

So Zita will take pictures of the papers and send them to him. Then everything will be alright. 

I like everything to be just alright, all the time. It is known. Ha.

When our work was all done Craig found my first dinnertime. Ha.

And Zita went to visit Mister IKEA’s store .

Because our new inside of the bed was there. All ready for us. Ha. That was a good surprise. 

So Craig and I just watched everybody in the whole world walk down my street. Ha.

But they cannot see us. Only we can see them. 

Maybe we are spies. Maybe. Ha. That would be a good job. 

Craig’s father had spies. But that was a very long time ago. Too bad for us. 

I only have to big Craig and Zita for our dinnertime tonight. That is a easy job. 

After dinnertime Zita went to have lots of wine with all the neighbourhood ladies. Ha.

And Craig watch the hit the ball with a stick game. That was not so interesting so I had a nap.

Then just like that my friend Niamh was back home. I was very glad. 

But she was very very messy. And very tired. Oh my goodness me. 

So she will have a squeaky clean shower tomorrow. 



Sunday 29 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty

We had a little sleep in today. 

And Zita talked to her mother and father in Dublin.

But then we had to make our bedroom all spic and span.

Because Mister Paul came to our house to put a brand new light on the ceiling. 

So Zita found the noisy machine and lots of extra boxes. Then the bedroom was not even a little bit messy.

I helped Craig look out my watching window at all the people.

Because there was another kick the ball game up on the busy street. 

But it is a bit all the time rainy outside. 

So they will be all soggy. Oh dear. 

It is not so noisy in my house today. 

Because Niamh is still at the cottage with Tara and Emmet is in way far away Cork. 

In his little apartment. Oh well. 

When Mister paul came to visit us we had tasty treats in the living room.



And then they talked a lot. 

Because Mister paul is going to way far away England to fix everything in his daughter’s house. 

So he is going to be there for a long time. 

Maybe all the time to nearly Christmas time. Oh my goodness me. 

So it was good that Zita and Mister Paul put the brand new light in the bedroom. 



Because soon he will be gone to way far away.

We had messy toasts for our dinner. I got a piece. Ha. 

But I cannot have so many treats anymore. 

Because I am still a bit too chubby. Oh dear me.

I do not want Doctor Waller to know that. Oh my goodness me. 

We watched the very good detective program last night. 

But the old detective had to have a dangerous operation in his own head and then the program was over. Oh dear me. 

Saturday 28 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Nineteen

It was not get up very early in the morning this morning. 

And in the middle of the night Emmet told us his aeroplane did not get lost at all.

And he was all safe in way far away Dublin.

But when he got there nobody asked him for all his important do not be sick papers. Not even one. My goodness me.

So he found a bus that went all the way to Cork. Ha. That was good.

So Craig and I went back to fast asleep. 

And when I got up with Zita, Emmet was all back in his very little apartment. With his apartment friends. 

Zita had a nice little sleep in this morning before she took Miss Tarryn to meet Niamh and Tara at a little store.

So they could take Miss Tarryn back to the beautiful cottage for a very tasty breakfast. 

When Zita was away I had a lovely nap on the big bed beside Craig. Ha. 

Then when Zita was back home Craig got up so he could have his coffee with his old friends on the computer.

And Zita went to see a look in your eyes doctor. 

To make sure they were all just right. And they were. That is good. 

It is not even a bit hot today. That is good. 



Sometimes I do not sleep so very well when it is way hot at nighttime. 

Because I am a bit too furry. Oh well. 

After Zita and I went for our afternoon not so very far walk.

But Craig and Zita could not go on their before dinner adventure walk.

Because there was a football game tonight. Up on the busy street. 

So there were too many all over everywhere people.

And lots of getting all lost cars. 

And police cars looking for the just left anywhere cars. 

To take them away with their take them all away trucks. Oh my goodness me. 

So we had a nice full of meat pie for our dinner. 

And we had an early dinnertime too.

Because there was only Craig and Zita in our dining room tonight. 

So we watched the detective professor again tonight. That is a good program.

It is not so all of a sudden loud program. 

So it is not so hard to have a nice naps when it is on. Ha. 




Friday 27 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Eighteen

Everybody got up very early this morning. 

So we could say goodbye to my best friend Emmet.

Because today is the day to find his aeroplane that knows it’s own way to way far away Dublin. Oh my goodness me.

But even first he had to go to the train station to find the train that goes all the way to Toronto. 

So Zita and the black car took him there. 

And there was a train there waiting for him. Ha. That is a good train.

Good trains do not just fall over or get lost. It is known.

And after dinnertime last night we had to say goodbye to Mister Ollie. 

So everybody was very sad.

He went right to heaven last night. 

But Niamh and Lee and Cara were there with him so they were very sad. Oh dear me. 

But now Mister Bill will have another friend to help him and Miss Maggie go fishing together. That will be good.

This morning Niamh was very very busy. 

After our breakfast she went shopping for chips with Miss Linsey. I do not know why. Oh well.



And after she came home Niamh and Tara and Miss Sash went to our other park.

So they could do lots of outside stretching exercises. I do not know why.

Maybe my friends the ducks will mind them for me. Good for them. 

When they came back to my house they all went to the grocery store.

To get lots of delicious food for the cottage. 



And when they were finished it was just the right time to go to the cottage before the too many cars were there. Ha. 

Today was a beautiful as could be day to go to the beautiful cottage. 



Because it was not way too hot today. That was good. 

Before dinnertime Zita took doctor Susan and Miss Ashley and Mister Mike and baby Dillon to the aeroport.

Because they are going to way far England. To see doctor Susan’s mother and father. Ha.

And when they are in Toronto they will be in the very same aeroport as my friend Emmet. At the same time. Ha. 

Maybe they will have tasty treats together. Maybe. 

Because Emmet told me that the aeroport was as empty as could be. 

So he did not have to wait behind lots of noisy people. That is good. 

I only had to mind Craig and Zita tonight. 

Because Emmet is in that aeroport and Niamh is at the Mahoney’s cottage I did not have a very busy dinnertime. 

Then we watched the detective who is a professor. In way far away. Where all the lovely Bouviers come from.

But the detectives do not have even one. Too bad for them.

When we are all awake tomorrow Emmet will be in Ireland. My goodness me. 



 


Thursday 26 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Seventeen

We did not get up way too early this morning. Good for me.

We even had a little sleep in.

Because we were up until late late night with our friends. 

Everybody stayed at the dining room table talking and eating lots of desserts.

Everybody ate to much that Zita had to make another cake his morning. 

So Niamh can bring it to the Mahoney’s cottage tomorrow. 

Because you have to bring tasty treats when you go to your friends cottage. It is the rule.

Miss Tara and Mister Taylor drove to the cottage last night. But it was very late.

Because everybody laughed for a long time when they were having their dessert. But they went anyway. 

But when they got there they told Zita’s phone .

So we knew they did not get eaten by scary bears. Or a smelly skunk. That was good. 

This afternoon Tara sent us pictures of lots of brand new vegetables from the Mahoney cottage garden. Ha. 



Maybe there are green beans there too. Maybe.

Emmet was very busy this morning getting everything all ready as can be for his trip back to way far Ireland. Oh my goodness me.

He went to the bake very tasty treats store. 

So he could buy a lovely huge chocolate cake. 

So he can take it to Mister Mike’s and Miss Morgan’s house for their last altogether dragons game. 

Because he can not play that game so well when he is in his little way far away in Cork apartment. 

Only on their computers. 

Because of the wrong clocks. 

Today is the special day just for dogs. All over the whole world. Ha. That is a good day. 



Maybe I will be an extra tasty dinner. Maybe. 

Before Emmet went to play his dragons game he was talking to Niamh for a long time. 



So I minded them. Ha. That is my very favourite job. 

Zita and Niamh and the go fast car took Emmet to his dragons game. 

So Zita asked me to mind Craig. Right in our house. That is an easy job. So I had a nice nap.

Because I was up late last night at our dinner party. 

We had very very delicious used food tonight. 

Even some hamburgers. Ha. Hamburgers are my favourite too. 



Wednesday 25 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Sixteen

I got in trouble this morning.

Because I got up way too early this morning. 

And I made so much noise Zita had to get up too. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

So I had my breakfast all by myself.

Because Zita was still not so very wide awake. Oh my goodness me.

But we went on a nice little walk anyway.

Emmet was awake early too.

Because he had to go downtown to get an are you sick test. 

You cannot go on an aeroplane if you are even a bit too sick.

So Zita and the go fast car took him right downtown. They were not gone for a long time.

Then Zita went shopping at the grocery store. To get lots of delicious food. For our altogether dinner tonight. 

I had a little bit of a hair cut today. With the brand new only for me scissors. That was a good idea. 

Tonight Tara and Aidan are coming to our house for a very delicious dinner with us tonight. 

Mister Kirian cannot be here because was too busy making delicious food at the restaurant. Too bad for us. 

And Richard and Kathy cannot be here either.

Because they are still visiting Gramma Marie-Lou in the far away hospital. Oh dear me. 

And Miss Tara has to come here all the way from Toronto. With Mister Taylor. 

Emmet was very busy printing important pieces of paper to take with him.

When he goes on his long trip back to Ireland. My goodness me. 

I think it is very scary to go on long trips to way far away. Oh dear me. Too bad for my friend Emmet. 

And it is still too hot for my outside naps. 



We have way too many too hot outside days. It is known. 

Zita told me that it is good we have the make the house comfy cool machine.

Or we would all just be little melted sports on the floor. Oh my goodness me. I would not like that. 

After lunchtime Zita talked to her mother and so did Emmet and Niamh. 

Our Cousin Ciria was there too. Right in Dublin. Ha.

Craig had to stay in the den this afternoon.

Because Niamh and Emmet were making him a secret surprise present in the living room. Ha.

Surprise presents are my favourite too.

Sometimes Zita gets me surprise presents too. That is because we are friends. 

It took a long time to make the present. And I was a very big help.

And when we were all finished Craig came into the living room to see his surprise present.



And there it was. 

It was was our very favourite pictures of us. Of me too. 

And they were right on the wall in the living room. Behind the comfy sofa. Ha. 

We had lots and lots and lots of pictures on the living room floor. So we could find our very best favourites. 

And we had lots of little boxes to put them in. Ha.

But then we had to put them everywhere on the wall. Ha. 



That was a hard job. 

This afternoon Miss Tara talked to Niamh and Zita on the telephone. 

There are lots and lots of silly drivers on the go fast roads and they are not going so very fast. 

So she will not get to our house until a bit late. 

So we will wait for her to be here before we cook our very delicious own made hamburgers. Ha. 

Before dinner Zita and Niamh went up to the busy street to go to our nice bank. I did not go. So I did not get a giant treat. 

I stayed here to mind Craig and Emmet. Too bad for me.

I did not have to wait until late for my dinner. 

So I did not have a grumbly tummy when Tara got here. Good for me. 

Before Tara got here Emmet helped Niamh make her room as neat and tidy as could be. 

He helped her to put all her lots and lots of clothes away. 

Tuesday 24 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Fifteen

We only got up a bit too early this morning.

But nobody else was even a bit all awake.

Because everybody else is having a little holiday. 

So we had our nice all by ourselves walk this morning. Before the too hot came to visit my street. Ha.

Then Zita and I had a together breakfast before we went to our office to go to our work.

Craig had a bit of a sleep in and listened to his book all about long long time ago food.

When he had his toasty croissant I was all ready to help him. Good for me.

When Emmet and Niamh were all awake they had their breakfasts right in the living room.

But one of Niamh’s bedroom little trees fell down and it made a mess. 

So she brought it upstairs and she knocked it over again and made a big mess right in the living room. Oh dear.

So I told her that it was way too messy. 

Then I told Craig.

So he would get into the go fast chair and help me make sure that everything was all fixed up just right.  Oh my goodness me.

And I told everybody very loudly that I did not make that big mess. Ha. Good for me. 

Niamh had to find the noisy clean the floor machine. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

But Craig was all awake. So I told him all about it. So he would not be all surprised. Oh goodness me. 

Then Emmet and Niamh went up to the busy street so they could have tasty treats together.

Before Emmet has to find his back to Ireland aeroplane. Oh dear. 

I do not like that aeroplane so very much. It always takes my people away. Sometimes for a very long time. Oh dear me. 

It was still too hot outside for me to have my lovely outside nap today. 



But Emmet and Niamh went to their very favourite outside restaurant anyway. Oh well. 



I stayed home and had a nice nap. 

But Craig was very busy.

Because tonight we are going to have everybody’s very favourite meat filled up with lots of cheese. Ha.

So Craig had to make a very big loaf of fat bread into very very little pieces. 

So Zita could put them all over our favourite dinner. Before she cooked it. Ha. 

After all our own work was finished I helped Zita with all the delicious green beans.

Because we are having green beans for dinnertime too. Ha. That is the very best together dinner. 

Last night Zita made even more chocolate as could be brownies. 

So Emmet and Niamh would not starve when they went to bed. That was a good idea. 






Monday 23 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Fourteen

We got up way too early this morning. 

Because today is our rascal ladies work day.

So we went for a very early in the morning hello to everything walk. 

And then we had a together breakfast. 

But it was not so very nice outside today. It is way too sticky outside.

Zita told me it was just like soup. Oh dear me. 

I do not drink soups.

Because they would make my face all sticky. I only like nice cold water from the bathtub. 

Emmet did not get up way early this morning.

Because he is not writing his giant story this week.

Because he will be very busy all week. 

Because he has lots and lots of important things to do.

Before he can go back to his very very little apartment in way far away cork. Oh dear.

And Craig had a sleep in until nearly lunchtime. I do not know why.

And I could not help him eat his lunch because I was fast asleep in our rascal ladies office. Too bad for me.

My friend Niamh was still with all her friends at the cottage.

So I had a very quiet morning today. 

But after lunchtime Niamh came back home. From that cottage.

They came back a bit early.

Because it is not such a good day to be at a cottage.



But not even one of her friends was eaten by the bears. That was good. 

So this afternoon I minded Emmet and Niamh all by myself. In the living room.



That was an easy job.

So we had a nice quiet day. 

But it is too hot for cooking today. 

So Mister Tony made us delicious pizzas for our altogether dinner. 

And his friend brought it right to our house all toasty hot. Zita always give the nice man some more money. 

Because he never gets all lost when he comes to my house. So our pizzas are alway very toasty. Ha. Good for him. 

And everybody knows that pizzas are my favourite dessert. Good for me.

We have to find a brand new detective program tonight.

Because we watched the lady detective right until the end. Oh well.

Maybe we will have tasty treats. Maybe..




Sunday 22 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Thirteen

I do not think we should call this day sleep in Sunday.

Because Zita and I hardly ever have big sleep in. 

I think it is an everybody else have a sleep in day. 

We had a very early walk before the more too hot could catch us outside. Good for us.

So we did not melt today. 

Then Zita went to visit the very nice farmers up on our busy street. And she found more brand new peaches.

And when she came home it was the right time for her to talk to her mother and father in way far away Dublin. 

Then she had a very long errand to do so I minded Craig in the big bed room. 

My friend Emmet brought us a giant very tasty toasty warm croissant. For our lunchtime.

Yesterday Zita found a giant box of giant croissants at the way too much of everything store. 

Then I went into the living room so I could keep Emmet company when he sat in the big comfy chair. 



That is a good job. And easy too. 

Niamh is still at the cottage with Miss Tarryn and Miss Sash and Miss Thurley. 

It is a very big cottage so they are not just all squished together. That is a good idea.



Last night they had exploding wine. 

And they had it outside so they could look at the very big moon.



Niamh sent me lots of pictures. 



So I would know that there were no dangerous bears outside. That was good.

When Zita came home Craig helped me look out my watching window.

There were hardly any people outside.

Even my friends the ducks were hiding under the nearly falling down into the pond trees. 

Because it is still way too hot outside.



So I did not even have a nice in the side yard nap. 

I just had nice good afternoon nap right beside the windy cold holes in the living room floor. 

That is a good place for a nice nap.

 Zita was in the dining room fixing a beautiful outside jacket for Emmet to take to his very old university. 

And she put the number of Craig’s father’s aeroplanes right onto the jacket. 


And a very fierce moose. Oh goodness. Moose are very very big. 

Craig and I had a little snack this afternoon. So I would not be to hungry at our dinner time. That was a good idea.

Then I minded Zita and Emmet until our dinnertime. It was a nice quiet day for me.  All day. 

Zita made us cheese burgers and very delicious green beans too. Ha. Green beans are my favourite. 

So Zita always lets me help her. And I get some extra beans. Ha. 

After dinnertime Emmet went for his all over walk. But he did not melt. That is good. 

And Craig and Zita and I had to find a new detective program. 

Because we watched all the other detective program. 






Saturday 21 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Thirteen

When Zita and I woke up it was already nearly too hot for a nice walk. 

And it was not even our breakfast time yet.

So we went right away so we would not melt. That was a good idea.

Then Zita and the go fast car went to do lots of errands. So I minded Craig and Emmet. 

Emmet was downstairs all morning talking to way far away people. 

That is what Emmet does after Saturday morning breakfast. 

Then when Zita was home it was time for Craig’s old friends coffees on his computer.

I stay in the kitchen where it was very cool so I could mind Craig and Emmet at the same time. 

And Zita went out for even more errands. Oh goodness.

When Craig was in his go fast chair Zita was home so we looked out the watching window.

 And we saw lots and lots of butterflies. 

Because we have a very beautiful butterfly plant in our front garden. Just for butterflies. Ha.

Emmet was going to go to Mister Kettleman’s for a tasty bagel.

But when he went outside it was way too hot. 



So he stayed in our very cool house with me instead. 

And Zita said that it is nearly winter time in our basement. Oh my goodness me. 

I do not know why she said that. 

Niamh and her friends are at a nice cottage right beside a beautiful lake. 



It is not so very hot at the cottage. It is only just way hot. 

So they went swimming on top of flat boards. Ha.



But they did not see even one fierce bear. That is good. 

When Zita came home she had a new bottle for the outdoor stove. And fat steaks  too. Ha

So now we can have delicious steaks for our dinnertime. Ha. Steaks are my favourite too.

Then Zita went to have a nice very cold beer with doctor Susan. 

Because it was still too hot for even little walks. Oh well. 

So I had some of my dinner. 

But I did not eat it all in case some steaks might fall down on the floor. 

I did not want to be all full up. Ha.

When Zita was gone Craig helped me look out my watching window. 

We had green beans for our dinner too. 

When Zita came home I helped her cook the delicious steaks. Outside. That is an easy job.

Craig’s football is playing on the television tonight. But it is somewhere else. And not here. 

So we did not have lots of lost cars all over everywhere. That is good. 

When we finished our dinner I got some very tasty steak for my another dinnertime. 

Because I was Zita’s best kitchen helper tonight. Ha. 

Then Craig and Zita and I watched our detective program. 

Until our bedtime.









Friday 20 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Twelve

We had a nice walk this morning when the rest of my family was still fast asleep. Too bad for them.

We went very early again. 

Because the man said it was going to be even hotter today. Oh my goodness. 

So we went to the little lake so I could say good morning to my friends the ducks. 



So after our tasty breakfast Zita and I went to work right away. 

It is important to not be late when you have to got to work. It is the rule.

When we were working very hard Emmet came upstairs and then so did Niamh.

Emmet went into the den to write his giant story but Niamh did not have to go to work at all.

Because she has finished her job at the beautiful clothes store.

And is going to have a vacation until her nice university starts again. 

She is going to a cottage with some of her friends. For a few days. 

A cottage in the mountains. Oh my goodness. Maybe there are bears there. Oh my goodness me.

Bears always live in the mountains. 

Because they do not like the way too noisy cities. Only the nasty raccoons like the noisy city. It is known. 

Emmet went for his good afternoon walk today. But it was only a little bit of a long walk.

Because you will just all melt into a puddle in the way too hot outside. It is known.


Craig and Zita did not go for even a little adventure walk today. 

So I had a very nice quiet day today. Right on my very comfy rug in the kitchen. That was good. 

After our rascal work was all finished Zita went for a around the block walk.

But I did not go with her. I had to finish my before dinner nap. Ha.

We had some more own made chips tonight. For our dinner.

Because Niamh did not have her dinner with us. 

After dinnertime Emmet went downstairs to have a nice relax. 

And then Craig and Zita and I watched the detective program. 

Before our bedtime. 






Thursday 19 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Eleven

We did not have a sleep in this morning.

So Zita and I went for a early very nice slow long walk.

Because it is still very sticky hot again.

Niamh was up early too. Because of her on the computer work meeting. 

But today is Niamh’s last day for working at the beautiful clothes store. 

So everybody was very sad. And they all cried too. Oh dear me. 

Then she went downtown to the store for her very last day right in the store. Oh dear me. 

Now everyone there will be sad too. Oh dear me. That is not so nice.

I do not like it if my family is sad. Even a little bit sad. 

If they are sad I always bring them my favourite toy. 

Then they will not be even a bit sad. That is my best job.

Emmet did not get up early today because he was very tired. 

Because he was very busy for a long time yesterday. 

And after their together outside dinner he and Miss Andrea went to a kick the ball game up on the busy street.

So he was very tired and had a little sleep in. That is good. 

When Craig had his toasts I helped him. That is an easy job. Then I had a nice nap.

When Niamh comes home from her work we have a surprise present for her. 

A machine to make brand new pastas. Just for her. Ha. 



That will be a good surprise. Zita found it in Mister Lee Valley’s store. 

I think Mister Valley likes brand new pastas. Ha. 

This afternoon a man put a sign on my own corner. But it is alright. 

We told him that they could put their sign there. 



Because it is a sign to vote for a nice rascal. 

Because there is going to be a rascal election. And that man will be a good rascal. Ha. 

He used to be our other rascal. Maybe he will be our rascal again. Maybe.

Emmet went out for his afternoon walk. Before he went to his friends house to play the dragons game. 

So he will not have his dinner with us. Oh well. 

When Emmet was outside my friend the giant bird came to visit our pond. Maybe to catch the noisy fish. Maybe. 

When Zita and I were all finished our work we went up the street to find the put the mail inside box.

So the mailman can take our so sorry letter to Doctor Rachel’s family. Oh dear.

When we got home Craig and Zita went on a very little adventure walk. 

It was still too sticky hot to go to the other pond. Oh well.


I stayed in the cool house so I could mind everything. 

And when they got home it was time for Emmet’s dragons game so the go fast took him to Mister Mike’s house.

Then Craig found some especially for tasty own pizzas cheese. And he put it right on top of my dinner.

So I did not even starve a bit. That was good. 

Miss Sash drove Niamh back to our house. We gave her the secret present and then she even cried. 

But it was alright because she was very happy to get that machine. 

Because everybody likes tasty pastas in our house. 

So we had hotdogs for our dinnertime.

Because hotdogs are Niamh’s favourite.

But we could not cook them outside. Because the big outside stove’s bottle as as empty as could be. Oh dear.

So Zita cooked them inside. But they were still very tasty. 

Then Niamh went out to say goodbye to lots of her lemon friends.

Craig and Zita and I watched the detective program. 

Because we do not go to bed so late anymore. Good for me. 



Wednesday 18 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Ten

It was our Wednesday do not go to work day.

But Zita and I did not have any long walk around this morning. Because it was too sticky hot.

Even in the morning and the clouds were right down to my park. Oh my goodness me. 

So then Zita went to find lots of food for us to eat so I had a little beside Craig nap until she came back home.

But I had to be very very quiet this morning. 

Because Emmet was making his television program all about cut off heads. Oh dear me. 

But we cannot see it right away. 

Because lots of other people have to make their own programs and then everybody can see them when they want. 

When he was all finished we could be noisy again. 

So Zita got the noisy clean the floor machine to clean everything. Even my comfy rugs. 

I went outside where it was not so very noisy.

Then Zita took Niamh to downtown to got to her work. She has to stay until very late tonight. To lock the store all up. 

And Miss Andrea is visiting our city so she and Emmet are going to the busy street to have a delicious dinner. Ha.

When Craig got in his go fast chair we watched everything out my watching window. 

But it was not so interesting today. Because of the sticky hot. 

We thought everybody was having nice naps. So I had one too. 

And Zita went to find some new comfy cushions for the go fast chair. Some not so very fat ones. 

I went in the den to keep Craig company. 



And have a little nap too. 

Then Miss Andrea came in to visit me. 

And she brought some delicious vegetables from my cheese party friends. Ha.

Then Emmet and Andrea went to the tasty treats outside restaurant. Up on our busy street. 

They are going to have their dinner outside. 

Even in the way too hot. Oh dear.


Oh dear me. Craig  and Zita and I just stayed in our comfy cool house.

And Craig listened to some special music for Doctor Rachel’s father.

Because she asked us to play her father’s very favourite songs. So we did. All afternoon. 

So only Craig and Zita and I will have our together dinner tonight. Oh well.

But then later Zita will go to find Niamh. When the store is all closed up. 

So she can come home in the nice cool inside go fast car. 

Tuesday 17 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Nine

Zita and I got up very early this morning do we could drive Niamh to her downtown work.

But when they got in the go fast car it was not the right time.

It was too early. Oh dear.

Because Zita forgot the right time. Oh my goodness me.

So Zita and Niamh went to nice Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagels store. And they had an extra breakfast. 

And then it the right time and the go fast car took Niamh right to her work. Ha. That was a silly morning.

When Zita got home we went on our good morning to the world walk. It was not even a bit hot today.

So I was not a hot dog when we got home. 

Then it was time for us to go to our own work. 

So I went in our office and kept Zita company.  Right on my comfy blanket. 

Then when Craig was all awake I almost forgot to help him with the round toasts. 

Maybe it is a forget things day. Maybe.

But Craig remembered and kept a pice of tasty toast just for me.  That was nice.

Emmet was all awake at the right time. That is good. 

Then he stayed in the living room so he could write lots and lots of his interesting story.

Tonight Emmet and his dragons game friends are going to a movie up on the busy street.

And maybe have a lovely together dinner too. If it is not all rainy outside.

Because the man said it might be a lots of rain day. 

Mister Tom left us two new detective programs at lunchtime.

He is not way too sore anymore. And his motorcycle is not even all crashed up. That is good.

But today he drove his car. Not his motorcycle. That is good.

When Craig and Zita went for their before dinner  adventure walk I stayed here to mind Emmet.

But when they came home they were very sad.

Because someone told them that Doctor Rachel’s father had just gone all the way to heaven. Oh dear. 



Now everybody is very sad. 

He had been sick for a long time. And he was in Doctor Rachel’s own hospital. 

Craig said that he was sure that her father took his favourite guitar with him. Ha. That was a good idea. 

The one where Craig had his broken legs operation. 

Emmet will talk to Doctor Rachel. Because they were friends for a very long time. 

She went to doctors school in way far away Dublin. But now she is back home. That is all right. 

Miss Sash drove Niamh home after her work today so she could have dinner with us before she went out again. Ha. 

Zita and I went for our before dinner walk tonight. It was a very nice slow walk. And it did not even rain.

When we got home Miss Morgan’s car was in our driveway. Zita put the go fast car right on our street so it could be there. 

So now the other car will not get lost when Emmet and his friends all went to the movie on the busy street. 

After dinnertime Zita and I played our rope game.

Then it was time to help Craig watch the detective program. Ha. That is an easy job. 






Monday 16 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Eight

It was another as beautiful as could be day today.

So we went for a lovely good morning walk and had our together breakfast too.

But then we had to go to work because it is a back to work Monday. Oh well.

When I was helping Zita in our rascal ladies office everybody else was all awake. 

After a little while I went to keep Emmet and Niamh company. In the living room. 

And then Niamh and I went into our side yard to fix all her fingers. 

But it was very very smelly when she was fixing them.  Too bad for me.

She told me that I was could not be a big help.

Because I could not lick the smelly fingers all clean. 

Because it would make me have a sick tummy. Oh dear me.

So I played with my big blue ball in the beautiful sunshine instead. 


At lunchtime Zita got some big flat stones for our patio. For no money at all. 

Because somebody had too many. Ha. Now we have some. That is good. 

But my friend Emmet had to find an early in the morning train to go to Toronto. 

Because the aeroport at Toronto is way too busy.

So it takes a very long time to find your very own aeroplane. Oh dear. Too bad for Emmet. 

But he was very very busy writing this afternoon. 



So I minded him and he read me his story. Right out loud. 

Sometimes I do not understand it so well. 

Because of all the names of people. 

I do not know anybody with those names. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Niamh is making an especially very delicious dinner tonight. 



She made her own pastas. All by herself. They are just for us. Ha.

And she made a very special sauce to cover the tasty chicken all up to the top. 

But the kitchen is as messy as could be. Oh well. 

Craig had to use some special tools to make the go fast chair more comfy. 

Then he and Zita went for their before dinnertime adventure. 

Because now the go fast chair is not so very fall over tippy. That is good.

And when they got back Niamh and I were stretching the pastas.



So they would be as long as anything. Ha.

It takes a very long time to make your own pastas. It is known.


But then you have delicious as can be pastas. Ha. Good for us. 

And Niamh put beans and peas in the pastas too. Ha. That was a good dinner.

Then Niamh had to do more work for her work. Oh dear.

And Emmet went for his after dinnertime walk.

So Craig and Zita and I watched the detective. Right in our den.









Sunday 15 August 2021

Day Three Thousand Three Hundred and Seven.

Everybody had a nice sleep in Sunday.

But Zita and I only had a little sleep in.

Because we went for our early good morning to everybody walk. With professor Jill too. Ha.

Then Zita and professor Jill went up to the busy street to visit the nice farmers.

And got lots of very tasty food. Even big boxes of delicious peaches too. Ha. That was a good idea.

There were lots of people there. Even in the early morning. My goodness me.

Maybe because is was a very beautiful full of sunshine day. And not even a bit too hot..

I minded the house when Zita was away. And  I had a beside Craig nap too.

Because he was still fast asleep.

Then Niamh was upstairs and all dressed in beautiful going out clothes.

Because she went to have a delicious lunch with Miss Anna and Miss Tarryn and Miss Emma.

At an outside restaurant downtown. 



So she sent me a tasty picture. Ha. 

When Zita was back home Emmet was upstairs too. In the very comfy chair drinking his Irish tea. 

Today is a do not write his important story day. 

He was just talking to Miss Nina about an important old Irish stories meeting they are having. In way far away Ireland. 

When Niamh got home she and Zita went outside to our front yard.



So they could dig up the nasty weeds with our very big shovel.

So they could put our new beautiful plants in the just right places. 

With brand new just for plants dirt. Ha. 

But they said it was the very best kind of day for gardening.


I could not be a big help so I had to stay inside and mind Craig. 

So when I had my afternoon snack he found a cheesie biscuit to put right on top. 

Cheese is my favourite treat. And green beans. And steaks too. Good for me. 

Zita and Niamh put the outside bed up again. Ha. 

I used to sleep in that when I was little. But now I am too big. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Zita and Niamh were outside all afternoon.



And they had to look on their special map to make sure all the plants did not get very lost.

That was a good idea.

Sometimes the silly bunnies will just gobble up lost plants. It is known. Oh my goodness me. 



After Zita had her squeaky clean shower she and Craig went for another little adventure walk.,

But it was a bigger walk than yesterday and I stayed here to mind Emmet and Niamh.

And when they were outside Niamh talked to mister Tony’s store and he made us pizzas. 

And his friend brought them to us in his car. So they were brand new hot. That is good.

Pizzas are my favourite. 

Because I always get some chewy bits for treats. Ha. 

After dinnertime Craig and Zita and I watched the new detective program. 

The same lady detective as we watched  last night. 

So I had a very nice nap on top of a big bunch of socks. 

And when I was awake it was time to go to our comfy bed. Ha.

That is always a good time for me.
