Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Eight

I had a nice quiet day all day.

Because it was an only Craig and Poppy at home day. 

Before the not so very fast bicycle took Zita downtown to her other office we had a very lovely long walk.

And we went before it was too hot. That was a good idea.

Because it was very hot all day.

But we saw the very beautiful flowers in our other garden on our beside us street. 



And when Niamh was all awake she watched her favourite program on her computer.

Right upstairs.



So I minded her. Ha. That is my favourite good morning job.

Then she flew away on her very fast bicycle right down the street to her lovely store. 

So then there was only Craig and I in the house. 

Because Emmet’s in Toronto aeroplane found its way to Dublin all by itself.



So now Emmet is back to his very little apartment in Cork.  

And not here for me to mind. Oh well. 

Emmet looked at a giant mountain of all lost suitcases in the aeroport in Dublin.

But he could not find Miss Alice’s own suitcase. That is not so very good. 

I only had a little outside nap this morning.


Because I got too hot right away.

So Craig made the house cooler with out blow cold air machine. 

Then I had my nice morning nap in the cool kitchen. Ha.

Miss Tarryn and her own aunt came to our house to find all the clothes that they did not sell. Oh dear.

Then Craig and I went outside but only so I could smell all the air.

So I would know what was going on in my own neighbourhood. Ha.

People can not do that because their noses are way too small. Too bad for them. 

Then Craig and I had our later lunch. We had a peanut butter and cheese sandwich. Ha. 

With my favourite Mister Saint Albert’s cheese. From his very own store. 

Sometimes Zita and Craig even go right to the store.

Because it is not so very far away. 

When Zita and the not so fast bicycle got home went went for another walk.

But only a little walk.

Because we had to make a tasty dinner too. Ha.

Niamh did not have her dinner with us.

Because she was helping Miss Sash move into her new apartment. 

And Miss Tarryn was helping Miss Sash too. 

So that is where they had their own dinners. Oh well.

We had some used steak. I had some too. 

Then we watched a detective program from way way far away Australia. 

And there were Kangaroos too. Ha. 




Monday 30 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Seven

It was back to work Monday.

I had a very quiet day today. 

Because I did not go to work right away.

I did not even go for a good morning walk. 

Because I had a very big sleep in. 

So I did not even eat my breakfast until Craig was all dressed. 

But then I went into our office to be Zita very best helper.

Emmet went for a nice walk up to the busy street. 

To visit our friends in the bank and talk about Irish money.

Then he went to get only in Canada candy for Miss Alice’s brother. It is a present. 

Because this afternoon the aeroplane takes him back to his very old university. 

In way far away Cork. Too bad for us. 

My friend Niamh had a very long shower today. 

Because all the mosquito bites made her itchy all over. Oh dear me. 

Those mosquitoes can not bite me because I am too furry for them. Ha. 

Zita went for a little by herself walk after lunchtime. 

And it was only a bit too hot.

When she got home her head was all empty.

So she was ready for her afternoon work.

Then it was time for my friend Emmet’s aeroplane to go to not so very far away Toronto.

So Emmet and Niamh had goodbye hugs. Oh dear me.



Goodbye hugs are too sad for me. 

When Emmet left Craig looked out the windows and waved goodbye. 

I did not look out those windows. I stayed on my comfy bed in the kitchen.

Because I do not like to say good bye to my own family. 

So I just pretend they have gone to the tasty food store. 

And are finding me lots of delicious treats. Ha. Good for me.

You cannot be too sad if someone is finding you treats. It would not be so polite. 

So Zita and the black go fast car took him right to the aeroport’ s front door.



So he would not get even a bit lost.

And when Zita was back home Niamh got into Sash’s not any doors Jeep. 

And they went to a lake to go swimming and to feed the mosquitoes. Oh dear me.



Because I was fast asleep this morning we went for a before dinnertime walk.

But it was a very little walk because it got a bit too hot for long walks.


When it gets too hot I only walk on the grass.

I do not go on the too hot sidewalks or the way too hot roads. Ha. 

Only Craig and Zita are here for me to mind at dinner. Oh well. 

We had the very delicious meat with ham inside for our dinnertime. 

The same as we had last night. Good for us. But we had a salad this time. 

Then it was time to watch our detective program again. 

And I fell fast asleep again. Ha. Good for me.

Sunday 29 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Six

It was sleep in Sunday today.

But only Craig had a very long sleep in.

Because the rest of us were very busy.

Emmet was washing all his clothes to take back to way far away Cork. 

Because tomorrow is the day the do not get lost aeroplane goes there. 

And nobody wants to go back with smelly clothes. It is known.

And Niamh had to go and watch Miss Lindsey run a long way. 

But there were lots of other people running too.



Because it was a race. Oh goodness me.

Zita talked to her parents in way far away Dublin this morning. I was a bit fast asleep outside.

Because it was a very beautiful sunny day today. 

But Zita’s mother told her that now Uncle Ciaran had a very nice dog. 

And it is Miss Luna. 



And it lives with him in way far away Spain. That is a good idea.

At lunchtime Zita used the dangerous make the grass beautiful machine.

I was not her helper today.

Because it was a bit too hot outside.



So I had my lunchtime nap in the kitchen. Where it is nice and comfy cool. 

The go fast car took Zita downtown to get some special cream for Miss Alice.

Because hers was in her as lost as can be suitcase. Oh dear me.

So Emmet will bring some back with him. Just for her. That is a good idea. 

Now we have two rascal signs on my corner. 

Because some silly person stole our old sign. So now we have two.

When Zita was away I minded Craig and Emmet all by myself. That is not such a very hard job. 

They just stay here and read interesting books. 

Sometimes I do not even remember that they are here. Oh well. 

We had an especially delicious altogether dinner tonight.

It was Emmet’s favourite tasty dinner. 

Because tonight was Emmet’s last dinnertime with me.

Because tomorrow he has to have his dinner on an aeroplane. And those are not tasty dinners at all.

And they do not even have real knives or forks. They only have pretend ones. Oh my goodness me. 

So Zita made him his very best tasty dinner for tonight. And we had real knives and forks too. Ha. 

Lots of little birds came and had their nice cool bath in our outside bathtub today. That is a good bathtub. 

I went outside to watch them. And to mind Zita and Niamh when they were on our swing. 


That is an important job for me too. 

But I had to come back in.



Because I got too hot. So I kept Craig company.

Craig’s friends Miss Deidre and Mister Gene called him on the telephone.

 So they could sing him the happy birthday song.

And Mister Gene played the song on his own piano. 

Sometimes we play his very lovely music on our music machines. 

Because he is a famous piano player. 

And he goes all over everywhere so lots of people can hear him play his piano. That is good. 



And sometimes he has his dinnertime with us. That is nice. 

Craig and Zita went for a before dinner walk.

And they saw a man rowing his boat. Right on the other pond.

And he had his dog with him. Right in the boat. 



That was a nice relax for them. 

It took a very long time for everybody to finish their dinner.

So I had a very nice nap right under the dining room table.

Until dinner was all finished. 

Zita had to go to the drugstore. To get medicine for Niamh.

Because the nasty buzzy mosquitoes bit her all over. Oh my goodness me. 

Then it was time for us to go to bed. That is my favourite time. 

Saturday 28 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Five

Everybody was all up and all dressed very early this morning. And Craig was just all awake too. Oh my goodness me.

Because it was our day to sell all our too much stuff.

So we had to get everything ready. We even had two keep you cool tents. 


And Niamh played loud music right on our front yard. 

And Professor Jill brought lots of stuff too.

So I was very very busy minding everybody this morning.

And lots of our friends came to visit us. 

Because we were right in our front garden for everybody to see. Ha.

But when I got way too hot I came back inside where it was nice and cool.

There were lots of people everywhere. Even on all my walking streets. 



So we did not go for a walk this morning. 

But Craig found a very lovely moose. And he did not even have to go anywhere.



Because Mister Moose used to live at professor Jill’s house. And it was outside. 

But now it lives here. Ha. That was a good idea. 

And now Mister Moose can keep Mister Elon company. 

Because they are both from our country. Ha.

And Zita sold lots and lots of our extra plants and even some little bushes.


Now even more people will have beautiful gardens too. Ha. That was a good idea.

There were so many people here I had to go in the house.

So I would not get squished flat by all the people. Oh dear me. 

Miss Emily came to visit us.

And she brought us little pies full of very delicious berries. 

Craig and I had one. 

While I was having a rest inside when I was too hot. 

And after lunchtime everything was all sold. Ha.

And Niamh and Tarryn made lots and lots of money. Ha. 

And when everybody was back inside I ate my own tasty brunch. With round potatoes on top. 

Because I was way way too busy all morning to eat any of my breakfast. Oh well. 

Then Zita and her bicycle went up to the busy street to find some very delicious steaks for our together dinner. 

At our favourite only for very delicious meat store. Ha. 

But it is only for Craig and Zita and Emmet and me.

Because Niamh and Tarryn went to Miss Sash’s for the very big party. Too bad for them.

Before dinnertime Craig and Zita went for an adventure walk.

But they only went to Miss Bruna and Mister Lyndon’s from yard instead.

And they just talked about the sell everything day.

I stayed here to mind the house.

And when they came home Professor Jill brought her truck here. 

Because she found a not even too old rug for her house. And it was just across the street. Ha.

So she took it to her house in her truck.

Then Zita cooked the steaks on our outside stove. 

I was her best helper. That is always a good job for dogs. It is known.

Because I always get some tasty steak after dinnertime. 

And after we watched our detective program we were very tired so we went to our comfy beds. Ha.

Friday 27 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Four

We had a very quiet day today.

Because everybody was very busy yesterday. 

Zita and I only had a very little walk. 

So my sometimes sore foot could get all better very soon. 

And it was an all the time rainy day outside.

So it was a very good day for a relax.

When Craig was all dressed we had round toasts with brand new strawberries jam. Ha.

Then I went into our office to help Zita.

Niamh went to Miss Sash’s house to get it all ready for a big party. Oh my goodness me.

But it is not a cheese party. So I am not going to go. Ha. Too bad for them.

Emmet must be very very busy today.

Because when I was having my kitchen nap he made tea lots of times. Oh my goodness me.

And he made lots of cheese sandwiches too.

He should have a very nice relax like me.

But Emmet is always very busy writing very interesting stories. 

For even other universities. Oh my goodness. 

I stayed in our office all afternoon being Zita’s very best helper. 

Right under her stand up straight desk. Ha. 



Because we were very very busy all afternoon with important rascal ladies work. 

One of Mister Mat’s friends came to our house today. 

Because the new bathroom sometimes makes too much noise. 

So the man came to fix it. That was a good idea. 

But I could not help him.

Because I was way too busy helping Zita. 

There is always too much work to do. Oh goodness gracious me. 

It is a good thing we went on our little walk in the morning.

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

So all the silly cars will be on my streets. 

And then some of them will just get lost. 

And the police trucks will have to come and take the cars off to car jail. Oh my goodness me. 

So we do not go on our walks when they have their football games up on the busy street. 

It is too dangerous. 

Because the cars are only looking for a place to park and maybe by mistake they will just run into people. Or me. 

When Craig was looking out the window some men in a very big truck came and took our broken off branch away. That was nice. 

And Professor Jill brought lots of stuff for the sell all your too much stuff day tomorrow. Oh my. 

And our living room is nearly all full up with our too much stuff. All over. 



And Niamh has two roll around clothes holders. Full up with too many clothes.



My goodness me. 

I will have a very busy day tomorrow. Goodness gracious me. 

On Craig’s flat computer there was a story about a dog. Craig showed it to me.

And when that dog was little it did not have a home at all. Just a dirty street. 

But a man found him and they went on a giant trip. For a very long time.

Right all around the whole world. 



By themselves. Ha.

But now they are home to their very own house. Ha. That was a good story.

Because now everybody is happy. Those the good stories. 

We had Mister Tony’s pizza tonight for our dinner.

But his friend did not bring it to us. Zita went and got it in the go fast car.

Because she had to go out on an important errand anyway. 

So she got the pizzas by herself. Ha.

Those are tasty pizzas. 

Emmet cannot find such very tasty pizzas as Mister Tony’s in Cork. 

So he has to eat lots of them when he is here. Good for him.

But there was only Craig and Zita and Emmet to eat the pizzas.

Because Niamh was still at Sash’s getting everything safe for a very big party.  Oh well. 

No delicious pizzas for her. 

Thursday 26 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Three

We had a very long happy birthday day dinnertime last night.

And when the all on fire cake came everybody sang the happy birthday song. Me too.



Because it is my very best song. Ha. 

And everybody claps when I sing. Ha. Good for me.

Then we went into the living room so we could open all the secret presents. 


Everybody was very surprised when they all saw my secret present. 

I helped Craig open it.

Opening presents is my very best favourite job.



It took me a long time.

Because Craig got lots of presents. 

He got lots of brand new beautiful T-shirts. And they did not have even one hole.

So now he has to give his comfy full of holes T-shirts to Zita. For her gardening clothes. Oh well.

And he got a very special and very old can to water Craig’s only in the house plants. Like Mister Bruce. 



Niamh found it at professor Jill’s house. Ha. 

And he got bags and bags of tasty treats from Emmet. Even his favourite made of peanuts candy. Ha. 

And Niamh got him some keep you beautiful cream. 

So Craig would get get way too old. That was a good idea. 

And everybody was very very happy when they met Mister Elon. 



We did not have even one Musk Ox in our house. And now we do. Ha.

Yesterday Zita talked to her own sister. In way far away Ireland. And Auntie Eileen has a new job.

She only works for the doctors sometimes.

Because now she teaches people how to drive their cars and not just crash into things. 



Like big rocks or all the silly in the road sheep. Oh my goodness me. 



That is a good idea.

This morning Zita and I had a nice little not so far walk. 

Because my foot was a bit sore. Oh well. 

Then the go fast car had to take her downtown to her other office.

Because it was downtown Thursday. Oh well.

Then Niamh came upstairs and we just lay on the very comfy rug and listened to music. All morning. Ha.

That was a very good morning. But I could not help Craig with his breakfast.

Because I was way too busy being Niamh’s comfy pillow. Good for us.

Emmet is going to Mister Mike’s and Miss Morgan’s house for dinner. The go fast car will go there. 

So Emmet and all his old university friends can get all ready for a brand new Dragons game. 

Another different dragons game. But with Pyrates. My goodness me.

After my tasty brunch Tarryn came here to get all the too many clothes ready.

Because the sell everything to everybody day is nearly here. Ha.

Niamh made some delicious all covered in cheese Nachos. 

So Craig and I had some. In the den. That was a tasty surprise. 

Then I went outside into my side yard and watched everything through my big gate. Ha.

When Zita came home it was our dinnertime.

So I minded Craig and Zita and Niamh and Miss Tarryn for our dinner.

Then it was time for us to watch our detective program. 

That is when I have my lovely before bedtime relax.









Wednesday 25 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Two

Today is Craig’s sing happy birthday day. 

But he did not have a big sleep in.

I thought you had to have a sleep in on your own birthday. Maybe not. Oh well.

When Zita and I got home from our lovely all over walk Miss Emily was here.

She stayed here last night. 

Because her little apartment did not have any lights on. 

And her squeaky clean shower did not work. 

Because of all the fallen down trees. Oh my goodness me. 

So she stayed here last night so she could have a nice shower and not be smelly like a skunk. 

It was a very beautiful sunny day outside today.

So I had a very nice long nap outside in my side yard.

But then I was a bit hungry because it was time for my brunch. Ha.

So Craig got me my tasty food so I would not starve.

This morning Niamh walked to her lovely store.because it was just beautiful outside.

And then Miss Emily went back to her little apartment.

Because they found all her electricity. That was good. 

So then Zita went to do some secret errands. 

Because it is Craig’s happy birthday day. 

So Craig and I went into the side yard for a little while. 

Because it was still beautiful and sunny outside.


Emmet is still very very busy writing his stories for the universities. 

But he is all finished his story for the big meeting in way way far away Australia. That is good. 

But Miss Alice’s suitcase is still all lost at the aeroport in Dublin. Oh my goodness me. 

Maybe Pyrates stole it. 

Colonel Dugal says there are way too many Pyrates just now.

That is why we just gave the far away people even more of our giant canons. 

Because of the very nasty Pyrates over there. That is not so very good. 

When Zita was back home she and Craig went up to the busy street by themselves. 

So they could have a nice happy birthday lunch.

And they found an outside just for tasty breakfasts restaurant. 



And it was not even breakfast time. Oh my goodness. 

But they had a very tasty breakfast anyway. 

Because it is Craig’s sing happy birthday day. Ha. 


When they came home I was only very nearly fast asleep. 

Because I was still minding Emmet. That is an easy job for me.

Because when Emmet is in the house he is always downstairs writing the very interesting story for his far away university. 

This afternoon my friend Kathy came to visit us. But she did not sing the happy birthday song. 

She just told us all about way far away Italy. That was vey nice.

Then Zita and the go fast car brought Niamh home from the lovely store.

So she would not be late for Craig’s sing happy birthday dinner. 

If you are late for parties there will be not even be a little bit of delicious cake left for you. 

Because everybody else will gobble it all up. Oh my goodness me. 

And we had Craig’s favourite dinner cooked on a stick for our party dinner.

And Zita made a special all on fire cake and we all sang the happy birthday song.

And she made it with Craig’s favourite chocolate bar all over the top. 

I sang too. Because that is my favourite song. 

When Craig opened my present he was very surprised. 

Because I found him a new all stuffed friend. 



And it was Mister Elon the very fierce Musk Ox. From way way up north. 

I think he just got all lost. Maybe.

But now he can live here with us. Ha. Good for me. 

And after everybody talked for a very long time we went to bed. 

I was very tired. I had a very busy day. 

So I had a nice nap while everybody talked.

We did not watch any detective programs tonight.

Because of the birthday party.










Tuesday 24 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety One

We did not have to go to our work today.

Because today is a Zita only holiday for us. That was a good idea.

So we went on a very nice walk.

But it was not such a very beautiful sunny morning. 

It was just an all the time cloudy morning. Oh well.

Niamh and her very fast bicycle went to her lovely store.

And Emmet had a meeting with way far away Ireland. Oh my goodness me.

Because we did not go to work today Zita went into our garden to plant some brand new flowers. 



So we would have the most beautiful garden ever. Ha. 

I stayed in the living room to mind her from my watching windows. And then to have a nice nap.



Tomorrow is my friend Craig’s sing happy birthday day. Ha.

And I got him a present. It is a very good present. 

Because it is my secret present for him I cannot tell anyone until we sing the happy birthday song. 

That is when it is his birthday present time. 

Yesterday I saw our round and round beautiful plant.



And it is right in my own garden. Ha.

The other night my friend Niamh had to use the front door to get into our house.

Because there were three skunks sitting beside our side yard gate. Oh my goodness me.

But they did not make Niamh all smelly. That is good. 

When I had my lunch I got some of Zita’s own made very delicious made of peaches dessert.

Right on top of my own lunch. Ha. That was a very delicious treat for me.

Then it was just the right time for my after lunchtime nap.

Emmet had some too. 

Because they do not have so many brand new right off the trees peaches in Ireland.

They have them in cans. That is not so delicious. It is known. 



Craig’s friend Captain Furrgus got a brand new hat today. 

The present man brought it for him.

His brother Captain Festis had a hat but Furrgus’s hat just got lost.

But now he has his own red hat. That is good. 

It is a red hat because when he was a soldier he used to jump right out of aeroplanes. Oh dear me.

I do not think that is such a good idea. 

Maybe that is when he lost his hat. Oh dear me. 

Soon my friend Emmet is going back to way far away Cork. 

To his very very little apartment. Oh my goodness me.

And he has to go to give a very interesting talk to a bunch of people in even another university.

So we are going to have lots of especially delicious dinnertimes for him. 

Before that do not get lost aeroplane takes him back to Ireland. 

Maybe we will have some of the very special very cheesie pizzas from that other pizza store. Maybe. 

When Zita came home from her lots of errands it was the time for an adventure walk.

So Craig and Zita went for a big wheel practice drive. 

And I stayed here because it was still afternoon nap time for me.


Then Craig and I had a little before dinnertime snack today. Good for us. 

And then I minded Zita from my watching window. When she was on our new swing. 

Because it was not just an all cloudy day this afternoon.



We had a nice quiet day today. 

When Emmet was all finished writing his very interesting story he went outside and he had a swing too. 

Niamh did not have delicious tortellinis with us tonight.

Because it was her night to go to the ask hard questions restaurant. Too bad for her. 



Monday 23 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety

We did not go to our work today.

Because it is a for everybody holiday.

Because it is an long time ago Queen’s birthday. Ha.

So Zita and I did not get up too early this morning just a bit early.

And then we had a lovely good morning walk.

The silly bunny rabbit was back. Trying to steal our beautiful flowers. 



But he ran away. Ha.

When we got back home everyone else was all awake too. Except for Craig.

Niamh and Tarryn took all the too many clothes to the lovely store. 

Because they have a special make you clothes tidy machine.

There were so many clothes that they had to use the go fast car.

So they took Emmet to his dragons game brunch. 

Because his friends do not have to work today either. 

This is the very last day of the very very long game.

So Emmet brought everybody a present.

A letter. And it was a secret letter.

Because it was closed with secret letter wax. And it had Emmet’s dragon game name.



Right in the secret letter wax. With the stamp he made. Oh my goodness me. 

Everybody will be very surprised. Because it is a secret letter. Ha. 

When Craig was all awake we had our together toasts when he had his first coffee.

Zita was very busy in the basement finding things for the sell everything day. 

Even Niamh’s very fast old bicycle that is too broken to fix. Oh well. 

Craig and I had a very nice relax in our side yard this morning. 

But then I got a bit too hot. Oh well. 

At lunchtime Zita went for a ride on her own bicycle.

And it was still a beautiful day outside. 



I stayed here and minded Craig. 

When Zita got home she and Craig went for their afternoon walk.

And they went by the other pond and there were lots and lots of broken trees all over. My goodness me.

Only a long branch broke off our very big tree. That was lucky for us. And the tree too. Goodness gracious me.

Craig sat in the side yard in the afternoon. I was with him too. So we both had a good relax.

When everybody got home we had pizzas from the refrigerator. 

But we did not have an altogether dinner because everybody was as tired as could be.

So Emmet and Niamh had their pizzas right in their own comfy bedrooms.

And Craig and Zita and I had ours in the den. Ha. That was a good idea.

Then we watched a brand new detective program. And we were still in the den. 

Because that is where we had our dinner. Ha.





Sunday 22 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Nine

It was our sleep in Sunday.

But Zita and I did not have a long sleep in.

Because we went for our lovely all around our neighbourhood walk.

And there were just all broken trees all over the streets. Oh my goodness me.


So when we got home we found a skunk. And it had been right on our front garden.



But the skunk was not even a bit smelly today. That was good.,

Then we our together breakfast. It was just us.

Because everyone else was still fast asleep.

Then all of a sudden it was a make the house spic and span day.

It was too nice yesterday morning to be all inside busy. So we did it today instead. 

Niamh was very busy downstairs today. Looking at her way too many clothes. 

Because next week is the special day where everybody in my neighbourhood sells all their too much stuff.

And Niamh has way too many beautiful clothes. And so does Miss Tarryn.

So they are going to sell lots and lots of them. Right on my driveway. 

They asked me to be their very fierce minder dog. Ha. That is a good job for me.

When Emmet was fast awake he walked to a building right near to our nice university.

So he could write on a piece of paper the name of his favourite rascal. 

Because Emmet will be back at his way far away in Cork university when the election will be all ready.

So he went to tell them right away. Ha.  Because it is important to get the right rascal. 

Because the wrong rascals would just steal all our money. 

Or not buy new things like brand new hospitals where they have tasty desserts. 

Or not fix the holes in the streets that caught Craig’s go fast chair. Oh my lord. 

That is why we have rascal signs on my corner. Ha. 

So everyone will not forget to vote. Good for us. 

It was not such a very nice outside today. 



So I did not have a nice outside nap today. 

Instead I had my after lunchtime nap in the den. 



So I could mind Craig at the very same time. Ha. 

After lunchtime Zita and Niamh went downtown to look at an especially beautiful dress.

It is for special going out times. Maybe to table sheet restaurants. Or lovely long dances. Maybe.

Mister Tom came to bring us new detective programs this afternoon. 

But I did not see him because I was fast asleep minding Craig. Oh well. 

I am a little bit retired. Just like Craig.

But dogs cannot be all retired like people. 

Because our important job never goes away. 

Because Mister God gave it to us when we were brand new. And it is our forever job. Ha. Good for us. 

Yesterday before that blow all the trees down storm a very red bird came for a visit.



And it had a bath. In my front yard. 

We had make it yourself tacos for our altogether dinner tonight.

So I got some extra cheese on top of my dinner. 

And after dinner Zita made some delicious not even for nice dogs chocolate brownies. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Then we watched our before bedtime detective program. Ha.





Saturday 21 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Eight

I had a very busy morning today.

Zita and I went for a very nice walk all over.

And then we cut all the grass in our front yard.

We had to it very first thing. 

Before the too hot caught us. 

Then we had a nice relax in the living room.

But we were so relaxed that Zita forgot to give me my own breakfast. 

Then Zita drove Niamh to the lovely store in the go fast car. 

But when Craig was all awake he thought I had gobbled my breakfast all up. 

And I had not even had a bit.

And Craig went to have his old friends coffees in the den. Too bad for me.

But when Zita got home she remembered that she forgot. Oh my goodness me.

So when Craig got me my brunch he put tasty from the refrigerator treats on top.

So I did not just starve all away today. Only just a little bit. That is good.

Then Craig and Zita went for a adventure walk in the too hot.

I stayed here to mind Emmet when he was talking to Miss Alice in way far away Cork. 



Everywhere all the trees are full up with their beautiful leafs. 

Even all around our very wonderful pond.



And our own bushes are filled up too.



So is the beautiful new tree we got last year. Ha. That is a good tree. 

And now we have a beautiful round and round plant. 

And it is not even a bush. It is a fern. I did not know that. Oh dear me.

After Craig and Zita were home the go fast car took Zita to look at interesting things on peoples front lawns. 

Then she went to find a giant do not get sunburned umbrella. 

Emmet had to go out in the too hot after lunchtime.



Because he had to find some more of his favourite icy tea. 

Craig and I just stayed in the house. We did not even go in the side yard. Good for us. 

And then just like that there was awful very loud thunder. 

And lots of very fast rain too. 

I do not like that noisy thunder. 

So I went in the bathroom because the nasty thunder cannot find you in the bathroom.

Because it does not have any windows so the thunder does not know where you are. Ha.

Craig came in with me too. 

But when Zita went out and it was way too rainy to drive so far.

So she went to Niamh’s store’s parking lot and stayed in the go fast car. 

Because of all the way too much fast rain. 

And then the lovely store just closed everything right up too. 

So the go fast car brought Zita and Niamh back home. And they were all safe. That was a good idea.

But on Kathy’s street giant branches just fell over and crashed. Oh my goodness me.



And there was even a broken tree right on my own pond. That is not right.



And a branch even broke off our own big trees. Oh my goodness me. 

But it was only a little branch. That is good. 

But everybody was home at our house so we had very delicious sausages. Ha.

Then we watched some more of the lady detective who is a professor too. Oh my goodness me.

Maybe professor Jill could be a detective. Maybe.
