Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Five

We had a very quiet day today.

Because Craig and Zita are a bit sick.

Craig had a nice sleep in but Zita and I did not.

So I took my friend Niamh for a good morning walk so she would not get all lost. 

Because Zita cannot go outside until she is not even a bit sick. And Craig too. 

Then after Niamh and I got home Zita and I had our together breakfast.

Then right after our breakfast we had our rascal ladies work to do.

I was so busy helping Zita I did not even have time to help Craig with his delicious cinnamon bun.

So he had to eat it all by himself. In the den. Too bad for him.

Mister Charlie was very busy today with his noisy saw. 

He is nearly all finished the new little bathroom. 

Now we have all finished doors everywhere. 

But we have to wait for Mister Mat to come to make everything have water.

Because you cannot have a lovely relax in the new bathtub when there is not any water inside.

Then after a while Niamh went to the library at her university where it is very very quiet. 

And where she could write even more stories. 

And maybe have a tasty treat with her university friends. 

Craig just stayed in the den. So he could read his books. 

But everybody stayed far far away from Mister Charlie. 

 So he will not get sick too. Good for us. 

It was a very messy day outside today.

Because it was not even a bit cold but there was a little bit of rain. 

I did not have a very nice before dinner nap today.

Because Mister Charlie used his noisy machine to make holes in our brand new tiles.

So Mister Mat can put the shower all together in the new bathtub. Oh my goodness me. 

But you cannot have nice naps when it is very noisy. It is known. 

Then after Mister Charlie went home to his house it was time for Craig and Zita and I to have our dinner. 

So we had some all mixed up eggs. And I got tasty cheese on top of mine dinner. 

Then we watched the detective from Ireland. And he is in Cork too. Oh goodness me.

But we did not see my friend Emmet anywhere. Oh well. 

So I had a very nice nap instead of watching the television. Ha. 

Because I did not have a very long afternoon nap. Oh well. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Four

We had a very nice quiet day today.

Because it was our do not go to work Wednesday. 

So when Zita and I were all awake the go fast car took Niamh to her very lovely store.

And Mister Charlie came to his work in the basement. 

Soon we are even going to have a brand new sink in the bathroom.

It is a very small sink because it is a very small bathroom. 

A very big bathtub and a very little sink. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Craig had another because he was still a bit sick sleep in. 

But not so big as yesterday.

And when he got up Zita and I were in the den. And I was fast asleep on my best pillow. Ha.

So when Zita brought him his too much coffee and his toasty warm cinnamon bun I was already there to help him. Ha.

But Zita thought that maybe she was a bit sick too. Just like Craig and Niamh. 

So she has to ask the little are you sick machine to tell her if she is sick. Oh my goodness me.

After I had my lunch Zita talked to Auntie Eileen and I had my afternoon nap. 

Because we had a nice quiet day. 

Before Zita went to find Niamh and bring her home she went to a different hardware store.

To get a new mirror for the new bathroom. 

It was not our nice little hardware store. It was a different one so I could not go with her. 

So I stayed here to mind Craig and Mister Charlie. 

Because that is my very best job. 

And when she got home the little machine said she was sick too.

Just like Craig. Oh dear me. Too bad for them. 

But I am not sick. And my friend Emmet is not sick either. That is good. 

But he is not here.

Because he is still in his way far away in Cork university.

Writing even more of his giant story. Oh well.

After Mister Charlie was gone a man brought us two big bags of food.

From Mister McDonald’s restaurant. With lots of pretend chips too. Ha.

Then Niamh went downstairs to do even more homework and Craig and Zita and I watched our new detective program. 

It was a Irish policeman. And he was in way far away Ireland. Oh my goodness. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Three

We had a very quiet day today.

We did not go for a nice good morning walk this morning.

Because it was still a bit too cold for walking before our together breakfast 

And today Mister Charlie was in the basement making the new walls as smooth as can be.

And he put doors in to fill up the holes in the walls. With handles too. Ha. 

And those are not such noisy jobs. That is good. 

But my friend Craig is still sick. But not so very sick. That is good.

He is just too tired sick. 

So he had a very big sleep in before Zita made him his too much coffee.

And when you are sick you are not so hungry.

So I had to be his best helper when he had his too big cinnamon bun. That was an easy job.

But when I was finished I went right back to my own office to be Zita’s helper.  

Because we were very busy again today. 

And we have an after dinnertime meeting too. Oh my goodness me. 

Niamh was very busy downstairs writing another new story all about girls.

Zita and Niamh and I are girls. Maybe I am in her story. Maybe.

This morning when I looked out my watching window I could see all the snow melted in the close to us pond 

Pretty soon my friends the ducks will be back from their vacation. 

Then all the trees will be all filled up again.

And Zita and Niamh will be outside making our garden even more beautiful.

Because now we have even more for the garden tools. Ha. That was a good idea

Craig and I had round toasts for our very very late lunchtime. 

We had them in the den. 

Because Craig has to stay in the den for a while when he is sick. Too bad for him.

When Zita and I were finished our important work it was just the right time for our together walk. 

Because it was still a very sunshinie day and it was not so cold this afternoon.

So we went for a lovely all over walk.

Niamh went for a walk to find Miss Emily.

They cannot go to their favourite restaurant to play the answers game tonight.

Because too many of the nice restaurant people are too sick. 

Just like my friend Craig. Oh goodness gracious me. 

Maybe they will have to find a different restaurant to have some tasty treats. Oh well. 

We had an early dinnertime in the den tonight.

Because of the important meeting. 

We had all filled up with bacon and eggs bagels. Ha.

Then I had my after dinner nap in the kitchen.

Because Craig was watching the not very interesting hockey game in the den. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Two

I did not wake up even one time last night. Ha. Good for me.

But when we were all awake it was our go back to work Monday. Oh well.

We did not go for our walk because it was too cold for a very nice walk. 

So Zita and the go fast car took the giant box to the aeroport. For her rascal ladies. 

I stayed here and minded the whole house. All by myself. 

My friend Craig had an until lunchtime sleep in.

Because he is still sick. So now he has to stay in the den. 

So Zita made him his too much coffee and our toasts. 

And we had to have our toasts in the den today. 

I got lots of toasts because Craig was not so very hungry today.

After our together breakfast I went to help Zita in our office.

Because we are very busy again.  Oh well.

And Mister Charlie is here today making the basement all beautiful. 

He was not so very noisy today. That was good.

When it was lunchtime Zita found my lunch for me.

Because Craig had to stay in the den. Too bad for him.

So Zita found me my lunch instead. 

But our den is a comfy cosy place to be. That is good. 

I had to look out my watching window all by myself today. Too bad for me. 

So I had a very quiet day today. 

Niamh was writing another brand new story for her university. 

Because soon the university will all finished for a while. 

So you have to get all your university work done right away. Oh dear. 

Craig and Zita and I had toasty cheesies in the den.

So we would not get in mister Charlie’s way. 

Then we watched our detective program. 

But we watched it early tonight.

Because we had our dinnertime very early today. 

So we could go to bed early too. Ha. That was a good idea. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty One

It was sleep in Sunday but Zita and I only had a not so long sleep in.

Because I woke up too early again. Oh my goodness me. 

Today Niamh came back upstairs because she is not too sick anymore. Ha.

So when she came upstairs we were both very happy. 

When Craig was all awake we had a cinnamon sticky bun from Mister IKEA’s store. 

Those are Craig’s favourite sticky buns. 

And then Niamh had to find just the very best right colour for the new very little bathroom. 

I helped her too. 

Then she went out to have some coffees and maybe a delicious donut. Maybe.

Because she was not sick anymore. 

Then I took Zita for our lunchtime walk. 

But it was very cold outside today. 

We went to our empty lake.

But the wind was so cold we did not stay to look all around today. Too bad for us. 

And we came home to get all warm again and so I could have my own lunch.

And when I was having my afternoon nap Zita to the paint store to get the bathroom paint.

So she could paint the little bathroom before Mister Charlie comes here tomorrow. 

And after Craig gave his feet a wavey water bath Zita went to the hardware store.

To get boxes to put the paint in. I just stayed here to mind Craig. 

After Zita got home Craig had to have a maybe you are sick test. 

Because all day he had a run away nose. Oh dear me. 

And just like that the little box said he was sick too. Just like Niamh.

But Niamh is not sick anymore. 

And the little machine said that Zita was not sick. Only Craig. Too bad for him. 

Craig told me now he has to stay in the den.

And can just eat cookies and watch old movies about fierce knights or Vikings. Ha.

Mister Tony’s friend brought us a very tasty pizza tonight. And I got some too.

Then Zita painted the new bathroom until it was our bedtime. 

Because Mister Charlie is going to be here tomorrow to do some more work in the basement. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty

We had another very busy day.

Niamh is still downstairs because she was sick.

And she is very very very busy.

Because she had to start her new story all over. Because the silly computer forgot it. Oh dear me.

And Craig only had a little sleep in today.

Because it is his Saturday coffees with his old friends on his computer.

But he was late.

Because Zita brought home a free rug. 

And when we rolled it out it was a giant rug. 

And it was very beautiful and very comfy too. I got to try it out. Ha. 

Because I know all about very comfy rugs. It is known. 

But we thought it was not as big as it was. 

So now we do not know where we will put it. 

So we rolled it all up again. Oh my goodness me.

Zita stood up on the comfy chair very so we could have nice pictures of me on the new rug. 

To show Emmet and Niamh. 

And she did not fall off the chair. That was good.

But now we have to find the very best place for that beautiful comfy rug. Oh my goodness me. 

Then Craig went to visit his old friends on his computer. 

Even Mister Paul was there. And he is still in way far away England.

When Craig was talking to everybody Zita and I went for a very very long walk. 

It was not cold again. 

So we went all the way to the empty lake. It now it is nearly all empty of snow too.Ha.

And now my own pond now has some all melted snow everywhere. Ha. 

When we got home it was time for my afternoon nap and errands time for Zita.

So I went to sleep and the go fast car took her to all over. 

Even to Mister Ikea’s store. 

To take back some off too many things that did not fit our new bathroom so very well. 

And when she got home she had to rascal ladies work with Mister Manuel. Oh my goodness me. On Saturday too. 

And she had giant boxes. For computers. For a rascal lady. In a far away place.oh my goodness me. 

Then Craig and I went outside to my side yard. So we could smell everything all over. 

Before dinnertime Zita went to our old house get more garden tools. For our garden. 

I stayed here so I could mind everything. 

Especially the new rug and the giant box. That was an important job. 

When she came home she brought us lots of very good tools.

Even a machine to keep the bushes very neat and tidy too. 

Niamh is still downstairs in the basement writing her story again. My goodness. 

So I only minded Craig and Zita at dinnertime tonight. 

Then it was time for our relax and watch the detective program. 

Maybe we will have chips. Zita bought some for us. 

Lots of times Zita and I have chips when we make our tasty dinners. 

But it is a secret. Ha. Good for us. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Nine

I almost starved away into nothing last night. 

So Zita had to get up in the middle of the night and I had two more dinners. Oh my goodness me.

I think everybody got confused about my tasty dinnertimes yesterday. Even me too. Goodness gracious me.

But after I was full up I went right to sleep. Ha.

When we were all awake we went for a nice walk before our breakfast.

Then it was time for our rascal ladies work to start. 

Craig only had a little sleep in today.

But the nurse did not visit us today.

Because Craig said for her not to come here because Niamh was still a bit sick. Too bad for her.

Niamh went to her interesting class even though she is still a bit sick.

Because that class was on her computer too. Ha.

So Craig made her a fluffy coffee. 

So she would not go fast asleep when she was in her class. Oh my goodness.

Then Craig made us two tasty toasts for our breakfast. 

They were crunchy toasts. Those are my favourites.

When Craig was making our toasts Mister Tom came to bring us a new program. 

And it was not even Sunday. Oh my.

It was a new in way far away Ireland detective program.

Maybe I will find our cousins in this program. Maybe. 

At lunchtime Zita had to go downtown to the old rascal ladies office to fix things. 

But I stayed here and minded everything from my watching window.

The lots of snow is going all away very fast. That is good. I watched it too. Ha. 

And I went outside into my side yard and it was not even a bit cold. So I stayed outside for a while. 

So I could smell everything in my own neighbourhood. That is a good job for me. 

Niamh came upstairs to have a squeaky clean shower.

But she was very very upset. 

Because her computer forgot all her brand new story. Oh my goodness me.

So we lay on the floor together until it was time for her shower. Oh dear me. 

I was a big help. Niamh told me so.

And when she was as clean as could be she came and told me I was the very very best helper dog in the world. Ha. Good for me. 

Got our dinner we had lots and lots of cheese and very tasty from Italy ham. 

I had some of that cheese too. Right on my dinner. 

And we talked to Niamh in the basement too. Ha.

She said that maybe tomorrow she can come upstairs again. 

To see me. Ha. That will be a good time for us. 

After I had my second dinner Zita and I played rope. I won. I always win.

Because it is my game. Ha.

Then we watched the from Italy detective. 

Maybe because we had all from Italy food for our dinnertime. Maybe. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Eight

I took Zita on a nice good morning walk this morning.

We did not go on any walks yesterday because we were way too busy.

Because Niamh was a bit sick.

And she still has to stay downstairs in her comfy bedroom. By herself.

But she is not too sick because she got all her socks from the nice Doctor. That was a good idea.

But she has to be by herself for a while. Because of the rules.

We were very busy with our rascal ladies work this morning and we forgot about my breakfast. Oh well.

I was way too busy helping Zita so I was not even a bit hungry.

Until Craig made some delicious toasts. Then I was hungry. So I helped him eat those toasts.

Then I had a bit of my breakfast. But not all of it.

Because I had to help Zita with the rascal ladies. Oh my goodness me.

At lunchtime Zita went for a relax walk up to the busy street. Right to Mister Kettleman’s bagel store.

And she brought home brand new and just cooked bagels for our lunchtime.

That was a good idea.

The television said we were going to have freezie rain. But we did not have any at all. That is good.

You cannot go out for nice walks in freezie rain even if you wear your rubber boots.

Because it is still way too slippy. 

And you will just fall down and have a soggy bottom. It is known. 

Craig and I had toasty bagels for our together lunch. I got two big pieces. One had jam on it. 

Then I had a very nice nap right in the the living room.

So I could keep him company. 

Lots and lots of the snow has all melted away. And I can see the bottom on my empty pond.

Craig and I talked about it and I told him that the pond was my very favourite place. Ha. 

Before dinnertime Niamh came upstairs for a tiny minute to get some delicious ice cream.

But then she could taste her ice cream and now she cannot even taste anything. Oh my goodness me.

But ice cream is Niamh’s very favourite food. Oh dear me. That is not all right. 

And we are had tasty chicken tonight and she could not taste it either. 

I would not like it if I could not taste chicken. Oh dear.

We talked to her on the computer and she was only in the basement not in far away Cork like Emmet.

But Zita could not stay until we were all finished.

Because she had a rascal ladies meeting on the computer. Oh goodness that is not so nice.

So Craig and Niamh talked all about Niamh not tasting anything tasty. Too bad for her.

And she cannot come up here to be with us until she is not even a bit sick. Too bad for me. 

After my dinnertime I went into the den to help Zita. 

We did not watch the long detective program tonight. 

Because of the too long meeting. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Seven

We got up early this morning.

Because my friend Niamh had a sick tummy. 

But Zita and I gave her the special do not have a way too sick tummy medicine right away. 

And she went downstairs to her comfy bed. And went back to fast asleep. Oh dear me.

Today is our no rascal ladies work Wednesday. That is a good day.

Craig did not have a nice sleep in today. 

So I could not keep him company on the comfy bed. Oh well.

When he got up he made Zita some very fluffy coffee.

Because she was talking to Auntie Eileen in Celbridge. It is a little city in way far Ireland. 

Just like Emmet’s Cork City and Zita’s Nana’s Dublin City. They are all in Ireland. Ha. That is interesting. 

But they are bigger than little Celbridge. 

And Celbridge only has a too old and way too small bridge. I do not know why. Oh well. 

And sometimes cars even just fall off that bridge and go into the water. Oh my goodness me.

That is not such a very good bridge.

Craig and I had our very fat full of holes round toasts in the den this morning. 

Because Zita was busy talking in the living room.

You have to put lots of jam on that kind of toast. 

So you can fill up all the holes. Ha. That was a good kind of toast. 

A very nice lady gave us a machine that makes fizzy drinks for us. Right in our own house. Ha.

Even delicious lemonade too. Ha. 

That was a very nice present. 

Craig told me that it is the special day for puppies. Ha. That is a nice day.

I was a very little puppy when I came to my own house. 

That is when I met my best friend Zita. Ha. That was a good day for us.

But I have not been a little puppy for a long time. 

And now I am a senior lady dog. Good for me. 

When you are a senior dog you do not have to chase the nasty squirrels. 

You only have to fierce bark at them. 

And you do not even have to get up from your comfy rug when you bark. If you do not want to. That is a good idea. 

I had another round toast with Craig for our together lunch. 

But it was a different round toast. It did not have lots of holes. But it was tasty anyway.

Then this afternoon Zita and I had a very nice long relax. 

Right in our own living room. We minded each other. Ha. 

Niamh is very busy writing a new story about the old war Craig’s friend Mister Wilbur was in. 

But he did not even get killed. 

They were friends when they were young.

And they are still far away friends. That is good. 

And they are not even a bit young anymore. Ha. It is good to have old friends.

Craig even had some fat books all about that war. 

So Niamh was very happy. That was good. 

But she is still sick in the basement. Oh dear me. 

I was so busy relaxing this afternoon I did not even eat my lunch until nearly dinnertime.

So Craig got my first dinner altogether with my lunch and then put delicious chicken on top. Ha.

We talked to Niamh on Zita’s telephone tonight at dinnertime. 

So she could ask us questions for her new story. That was a good idea.

We watch a new detective last night.

It was about a detective in a while ago in Italy. It was in an everyone wears hats time. 

But the detective will not wear a hat. I do not know why. Oh well. I do not wear a hat either. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Six

I took Zita for a very nice long walk this morning. 

It was only a bit cold.

So I did not have to get all dressed up.

Mister Charlie only came for a very little time this morning.

But now we have a real door on the very little bathroom. 

Not just a big blanket.  And the door has handles too. That is good.

When we got back home I had my breakfast.

But I only ate the tasty chicken on top. 

When Craig was all wide awake Zita told him. 

And Craig said I was a very spoiled dog. 

That was not such a nice thing to say. Oh well. Too bad for him.

He had a little sleep in this morning and Niamh was still very busy writing stories for her university.

So I went into our own office and found my very favourite warm spot on the floor. Ha.

When I am Zita’s best helper that is where I stay when we are working very hard. 

At lunchtime Craig put some tasty pumpkins on my lunch and I ate it all up just like that. Ha.

So I am not spoiled anymore. Ha. 

This afternoon Craig made the old music machine spic and span. All by himself. 

Now he has to see if it still goes round and round all by itself.  

We already have two machines like that. And they very shiny.

So I do not know why we have another. Oh well. 

When I went into the kitchen for my afternoon nap there were squirrels running all over my fence. Oh my goodness me.

And they were right in front of me. I could see them from my comfy bed.

It is very hard to have a lovely nap when there are nasty squirrels everywhere. It is known. 

So Craig went outside and scared them all away. Ha. Good for him. 

Then I had my nap. 

We had some Mexico food for our dinner.

But my friend Niamh had her dinner downstairs. Too bad for her.

But when we watched our detective program she had a very big bowl of ice cream.

You can always have ice cream when you are sick and Ice cream is Niamh’s favourite. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Five

It was a back to work Monday but we went for a very nice before work walk anyway.

Lots and lots of the snow has melted all away. That is good.

So we went for a very very long walk in the wonderful sunshine.

Because it is the time when the winter has to go away. Ha. That is a good idea.

Mister Charlie came after our breakfast.

So he could put the brand new doors in the holes in the new walls. That was a good idea.

Craig did not have a big sleep in today.

But I did not have our together breakfast because I was way too busy helping Zita. Too bad for me.

At lunchtime Niamh came upstairs to make her lunch. 

She is very busy writing new stories for her university. 

When Craig had his another next too much coffee he had toasts too.

So I helped him. It was very very crunchy toasts with lots of honey.

Maybe because they were a bit too toasty. Maybe. 

Sometimes Craig is not such a very good toaster. Oh well.

At lunchtime Zita went for a run around. 

Because lots of the snow is gone and it is not even too cold. 

So now Zita can run everywhere and not just slip on fall down and maybe break something.

When Craig fell down he got a bit all broken. 

I would not like it Zita got some broken bits too. Oh my goodness me. 

Before my lunch I helped Mister Charlie. 

I minded all his lots of wood when he went to have his lunch.

Then Craig found tasty chicken treats for my lunch. That was very good. 

But when Zita came home it was time for us to go back to our important work. 

Because it is back to work Monday. Again.

But Zita was talking to more ladies who want to work for the rascal ladies.

So I had my afternoon nap in the kitchen. Just in case I might be a loud barking dog. Oh well.

My kitchen rug is very comfy too. 

When Zita was finished our work it was just the right time to start to make our dinner.

And because I had a very nice nap I was already to be Zita’s very good kitchen helper. Ha.

We had an all our used food for dinner. So everybody got a different dinner. Ha.

Last night we watched some not so scary detectives so I went to fast asleep nearly right away.

Because my pillow was very comfy.

But we watched a different one tonight. But I had a nap anyway. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Four

Craig had a long sleep in today.

So I had to wait for a very long time before I had my toasts.

Zita and I only had a nice sleep in.

Then we went for a very nice long all over walk. 

Because it was not cold at all outside today. And all the too much snow is melting away. Ha.

When Craig was all awake he had a mister IKEA’s cinnamon bun for his breakfast.

I only got a very very little bit.

Because I am still a bit too chunky. 

Professor Jill said so. That was not such a nice thing to say. Oh dear.

Zita was downstairs this morning.

Because she had to get the new wall all ready for some very beautiful paint. 

You cannot just paint a brand new wall. 

Because that paint just disappears. Just like magic. Oh my goodness me. 

I stayed up here because it was time for my before lunchtime nap.

After my lunch Craig and I went into the side yard so I could smell everything everywhere. 

That was a good thing to do. And now there is not even a bit of snow in my side yard. 

But there were still lots of Mister Charlie’s big pieces of wood. And his dangerous noisy machines. Oh my goodness me.

After lunchtime I helped Craig look out the window.

And I saw people with little shorts on. Oh my goodness me.

And other people with fat keep them toasty warm coats on. People are very silly. 

When we were in the side yard Mister Tom brought us a very old detective program. 

And the detectives were from France. When they all wore hats. Ha. 

My friend Emmet went to Dublin today. 

So he could visit his Nana and grandfather. At their house. 

Emmet’s do not crash on the way to Dublin train left Cork very very early in the morning. 

But Zita’s father went and found Emmet at the train station right in downtown Dublin. Oh my goodness me.

So nobody got lost even once. That was good. 

Niamh and some of Miss Tarryn’s birthday party friend’s went to a nice restaurant for their lunch.

And even Miss Emily was there too.

Because they all had very very big sleep ins at Miss Linsey’s house. Oh my goodness me.

Miss Sash brought Niamh home when Zita and I were out for our afternoon all around walk. 

And she had a squeaky clean shower right away. 

So when I got she smelled just like a beautiful flower. Good for us. 

I had a bath yesterday so I was not even a bit too smelly. Ha. Good for me. 

Then Zita and Niamh went to our old house to get more tools to make our garden even more beautiful. 

Because soon everything will be all green as can be and the empty trees will all full up again.

And my pond will be all full up again. Ha. That is always a good time for me. 

I stayed here to mind Craig and to have my after walk relax.

That was a very easy job today. 

When Zita and Niamh got home they brought us a beautiful old table. For the in the basement kitchen.

And lots of very old books. My family has lots and lots of  books. All over everywhere.

Mister Tony’s friend brought us a very delicious pizza for our dinner.

And we had it in the living room.

Because the dining room table was all covered in old things from Brenda’s house. 

Even another old music machine. Ha..

After dinnertime Niamh went for a by herself run around.

Because she did not get so much sleep last night at the sleep over. 

And now she was too tired so she went for a run around. 

That does not seen all right. 

That was a silly idea. Oh well.

Then we watched new detective program. Because last night’s was too scary. Oh well. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Three

It was our do not a go to work Saturday. 

But we got up early because Mister Vinnie came here very early.

And he filled up all the lines between the beautiful tiles. Ha. 

So we did not have an early morning walk so we could be here if Mister Vinnie had any questions for us.

But then he was all finished and was gone. 

Zita said he was a very fast worker because he had done beautiful floors a kabillion times before.

A kabillion is a lot of times. It is known. 

And then it was time for Zita to talk to her parents in way far away Ireland.

They are still in far away Dublin because that is where their as beautiful as can be garden is.

But our cousin Orlaith is not in Ireland today. 

Because she is in Scotland. And she sent me more pictures.

Because she is visiting castles. That is always a good idea.

There are lots and lots of castles in Scotland.

Because the English people kept stealing everything. Even their very furry cows. That was not so nice. 

So everybody had to have castles to hide all their cows from the English. 

That is why the Scottish cows have very sharp big horns.

So they can stick them in people who want to just steal them. Ha. That is a good idea.

After Zita took Niamh to her lovely store she went to Misters IKEA’s store.

To get some new lights for our even better bathroom.

I stayed here to mind Craig and to see all our Saturday breakfast friends on the computer. 

Then I had my morning nap.

Because I was up very early this morning minding Mister Vinnie. 

When Zita came home she had more lights for the downstairs and more wood for Mister Charlie. 

And then we went on our walk. 

Before it was all the time rain outside. 

But we could not find my favourite keep me dry coat. 

The one Zita got for me in Ireland where it rains all the time. 

So it is a very good keep you dry coat. 

But I was only just a bit soggy when we got home. 

But I had very dirty legs. Too bad for me. And I had to get in the bathtub.

So I would be squeaky clean. Even my dirty tummy too. Ha.

But I was very brave. And I had a drink right in the bathtub. Right from the tap. Ha.

Then I stayed in the kitchen until was all dry again. 

My Niamh is not coming home to her comfy bed tonight.

Because today is my friend Tarryn’s own sing happy birthday day. 

So all her friends are having a sleepover at Miss Linsey’s house. Niamh too. 

With presents and an all on fire cake too. Ha. And maybe even lots of wine. 

Because it is a birthday party. Now Tarryn is just as old as Niamh. Oh my. 

After my bath Zita went up to the tasty food store on the busy street.

To get some tasty dinners for us. 

Because it was only Craig and Zita and I for dinnertime tonight. 

They were in boxes and already made. We only had to put them in the oven. 

And they were very delicious chicken. And I got a little bit too. Ha.

Then we watched the detective program. 

Last night Craig’s hockey team won. We were surprised.

Maybe they will win again tonight. Maybe. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Two

It was a get up early day for everybody today. 

Mister Vinnie was here even before breakfast time. 

But Mister Charlie was not here right away. 

Because his farm is a little bit far away.

Mister Vinnie brought Mister Charlie some own made wine. 

Because Mister Vinnie is from Italy and he always makes his own wine. Ha.

Mister Charlie and Mister Vinnie laugh a lot when they work altogether. That is nice. 

When Niamh got all awake she went for breakfast with Miss Sash. 

They went in Miss Sash’s not very warm Jeep.

They went to the just lots of very delicious oatmeal porridges for breakfast restaurant. 

A Scotsman’s porridge breakfast restaurant. That is silly. Oh well. 

It is on the busy street but over the very big bridge. 

They went so Niamh could have a before her university classes breakfast. Oh my goodness me.

Then Zita went off too in the go fast car. 

So I stayed here to mind Craig and Mister Charlie and Mister Vinnie. All by myself.

Mister Vinnie calls me a Nice Old Lady. Ha. That is true. 

He said that he is very old too. Older than Craig. Oh my. 

My friend cousin Orlaith went to Scotland for a little vacation with Mister Evan.

She sent me a picture because a bagpipe man caught them. 

Right on a street. Oh my goodness me. 

And he had his Scotsman’s uniform on. My goodness me.

To bad for her.

When Mister Vinnie was going home Zita was there at the same time so they talked about tiles. 

Tiles are Mister Vinnie’s favourite. And wine too. Ha. 

And when Zita was inside she brought in a box of Miss Susie’s giant donuts from the only makes delicious donuts store.

Maybe they are for Craig and me. For our together lunchtime. Maybe. 

The nice nurse came this morning to help Craig with his foot bandage. 

I did not have my breakfast until after she was gone. 

Sometimes I do not like to eat when everything is all the time too different. 

But Craig put a bit of his own cinnamon bun on my breakfast so I ate it all up anyway. 

We had a late lunchtime today. 

And then I had to be very very quiet.

Because Zita had to talk to two more ladies who want to work for the rascal ladies office. 

So I was very quiet and fast asleep. 

All at the same time. Ha. That was a good idea.

Then I had a be all awake sniff. 

Because Craig was having a way too big donut for his lunch. And I smelled it. 

So I had to help him.

That was a very nice job for me.

Then I went back to my afternoon nap.

When Zita was all finished her work it was just the right time for our before dinnertime walk.

It was still not cold and still just sunny too. 

When Niamh got home she had a squeaky clean shower.

Tonight she is going out to dinner because it is Miss Emma’s sing happy birthday day party. 

And all the ladies are going to a very lovely new restaurant. 

Right on our busy street.

So Niamh had on her very beautiful clothes.

They were her only for special times clothes. Oh my goodness me. 

So Zita drove her and it was not even very far away. Ha. 

Only Craig and Zita and I were here for dinner tonight. 

So we had chips for dinner. Ha.

Then Zita put her comfy pyjamas on so she could watch the detective program with me and Craig. 

And be all cosy too. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty One

We had a very busy day today.

And we were almost late.

Because Zita fell back to fast asleep and I forgot to wake her all up.

Because I was fast asleep too. Oh my goodness me.

And when we were all awake and dressed Mister Vinnie was here. 

And then Mister Charlie was here too. 

And they both had noisy machines. Oh dear.

So Niamh went to her nice university right away. 

Because you cannot have even a little sleep in when Mister Charlie and Mister Vinnie use their noisy machines.

Mister Charlie and Mister Vinnie told us that they are retired. 

I do not think that is true. Oh my goodness me. 

Zita and I did not go for our early in the morning walk. 

Because we were still asleep at walk time. 

But we had our together breakfast.

And after Mister Charlie and Mister Vinnie were here we went to our own office. To work.

Craig did not have a sleep in either. 

And when he got up he took our picture but I did not see him.

Because I was very busy helping my friend Zita. Oh dear.

But when he had his next too much coffee I was all awake.

Because Zita brought us some sticky cinnamon buns from nice Mister Ikea. 

So we had one for our breakfast. Ha. 

Today is Mister Saint Patrick’s day. Oh my goodness me.

That is when lots and lots of people think they are Irish people. And they are not even Irish at all.

Even Mister Saint Patrick was not even a bit Irish. 

Maybe that is why people pretend to be Irish. To be like him. Maybe. 

Zita and Emmet and Niamh are Irish because they have little red books that say they are Irish.

Craig is not Irish at all. But sometimes he is a pretend Scotsman. Ha. That is silly. 

Only his grandfather was a Scotsman. A long long time ago. Ha.

At lunchtime when Zita was too tired to talk to anymore want to be rascal ladies.

So she made sandwiches. And she made Craig and I a peanut butter and and very delicious cheese sandwich. Ha.

And then we went for our lunchtime walk. That was a good idea. 

Because it was not even a bit cold outside.

I did not even have to wear my green rubber boots today. That was a good day.

But I was a bit very messy when we got home. 

Because everything is melting everywhere outside. 

So I had to have a feet wash in our bathtub. 

Then I was nearly very clean. Even my tummy too. Ha.

But I had to stay in the kitchen until I was all dry. 

But it was time for my lunch and I got lots of chicken on top.

Because I was very brave when I was in the bathtub. Ha. Good for me. 

When I was all dry I got into a bit of trouble.

Because there was a German Shepherd on my corner.

And I do not like those dogs at all. 

Because a long long time ago one of them was going to bite Zita. 

But I was there and I was very brave. So he went away. 

But I was very young and not so big as I am now and I was a bit scared. 

So now I always fierce bark at those dogs. Just in case. Ha. Good for me. 

Mister Vinnie came upstairs to talk to Zita all about the tiles.

Because tiles are his very favourite. Ha. That is nice. 

Zita said now we have a small very beautiful bathroom with a giant bathtub. Ha. 

When you lay down the water is right up to your nose. Ha. 

This afternoon I kept Craig company. Right beside him on the living room rug. 

That is a very comfy rug. 

It is my favourite spot to mind Craig when he is reading his books. 

And I am not too busy being Zita very best helper. 

Today is the sing happy birthday day for all our all stuffed animal friends. 

And they all have their birthday on the very same day.

Just like Emmet and Niamh.

Maybe that is why Emmet and Niamh have the same day for their own birthdays. Maybe. 

Maybe the animals are all Welsh like Mister Saint Patrick. 

Because Mister Rhome Clay and Mister T’er Ceri are very fierce dragons. Oh my goodness me. 

Maybe it is a mystery. Maybe. 

I only had to mind Craig and Zita for dinner tonight.

Because Niamh and Tarryn and Cara wanted to drink some beers before their dinner. Oh well.

Then it was our detective time. So I had a lovely nap.
