Day Four Hundred and Forty

I had a bad day. 

Squirrels. Squirrels every where. On my patio. In my trees. In my very own garden. I got in trouble. I jump on the windows. Zita says I am way too big. I will break the window. The squirrels do not care.  

I hate squirrels. I talked to Jamie. He hates squirrels too. He gets in trouble just like me. Oh well. 

Craig and I played throw the green ball a lot. When he was not having his coffee. 

Niamh is not here. Her bed is empty. There is no loud music. There is no one dancing in my house. That is not right. 

I should have gone to the forest with her. In case of Polar Bears. It is known. Emmet could bring his cannon from way long ago. We would not be afraid of Polar Bears with a cannon. Ha.

Zita is reading a whole bunch. All about getting people to think all together. Ha. I am helping on my cosy duvet with my comfy pillows.

Emmet has a sore throat. Too much talking way too late at night. It is known. 

I had a sad walk. Too much pulling. I was not a good listener. I had to have the choke me collar on. 

Zita was sad. I was sad too.  Oh well.

Not a good day.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Nine

Niamh went with her know all about the forest friends to live in the forest for three days. She took her fast and shiny bicycle. And all the food in the world.  And her bag to sleep in. 

There was a squirrel on my fence this morning. I almost caught it. Zita said I just missed. Oh well.

After Niamh left I went for a nice morning walk with Jamie. That was nice.

Zita is getting our garden all ready for the cold winter. So it will be all ready for the spring and all the beautiful new flowers. And my green beans. That is good.

I cannot help. I make way too many holes Zita says. Oh well.

Craig told Zita that the whole world is getting way warmer. Jamie will not like that. Me either.  Maybe the squirrels will cook. Ha.

Craig and Zita are going away for dinner. I have to guard Emmet.  Maybe I will go down stairs to Emmet's comfy bed to guard him.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Eight

We have a beautiful day. I had a very happy walk this morning. It was foggy. I could not see my friends the ducks. 

Niamh and all her know everything about out side friends are going to sleep in bags for two nights. Out side. With no walls. Or bathrooms. Oh my. 

Zita and Niamh have gone to find all the stuff you need not to be eaten by Polar Bears. 

I should go to help. I am not afraid of Polar Bears. I am just scared of garbage cans with wheels. Not Polar Bears. 

Niamh said I cannot go because I do not have a bag to sleep in. They told her everybody needs a bag to sleep in. That is silly. I have my own furry coat. And I do not need a bathroom. It is known. Ha.

It is Emily and Cara's birthday. They are getting old too. Not as old as the mountains like Uncle Bill or Craig.  Just old enough to listen to loud music and sleep in way too late. It is known. 

I went down the scary stairs to look at all the furniture in my basement. Nothing for me though. Except a nice big soft rug.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Seven

We are having a very busy day. It is everyone get up early day. I had a long walk before all the other dogs were awake. Then Craig drives everyone to their schools. Way too early.

Then we had to clean the house with the noisy machines. I cannot help. Oh well.

Then Craig and Zita had to change all the pretty pictures on the walls. Now there are new pretty pictures all over. No pictures of brave dogs. Oh well.

We had to measure everything. And make loud noises with the hammer. 

Everyone was so busy there was no time to throw my ball.  I was very patient. Everybody said I was very patient. It is true. I just sat at the door with my green ball and watched. Sometimes Craig would come and throw my green ball. Not a lot though. Oh well.

Uncle Bill came over. We gave him his birthday present. Craig and Zita almost forgot to give it to him. His birthday was a long time ago. Poor Uncle Bill.

It is an old black bottle from way far away. As old as Niamh. They should have given him a nice new bottle.  I like new things for presents. I would like a new Red Ball for a present. It is known.

I had a nice walk. It is a very nice day. 

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Six

A nice day. I did not get into trouble at all. I helped move the cars a lot.  That is good.

We threw my ball a lot to day.  Because it is a whole year that Craig has stayed home to play throw the ball with me. Because the queen said he could retire. She said he had done way enough for her. She gave him a medal. That is what Queens do. It is known.

More reading for Zita. 

I played with my outside red ball. It is big. I get into trouble when I play with it inside. It does not go where I want it to go. It is a silly ball. I chase it a lot. 

I had a nice nap on my cosy duvet.

The present man brought Niamh a brand new bag to sleep outside in. She was very happy. Now she will not freeze into a Niamhcicle. That is good. I do not need a bag to sleep in. I have a nice cosy bed. And a duvet. All my own.

Emmet is getting to read a book from a far away university. He has to ask his university to find it for him. All about laws from way far away Ireland from long long ago. Emmet likes books like that. It is known.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Five

Today is a very early in the morning day. Everyone gets a ride to school day.  We do not go on our walk until way late. After Zita and Craig come home. Oh well.

Then Zita has more and more reading to do. I help her study. I have a little nap on my cosy duvet. And guard the door. So everyone is safe.

Craig is reading more new books. He is now related to our very nice queen. And finding nasty people who steal things from her. Ha.

No pictures in this book. And no nice dogs. Oh well.

Zita has her stay late at her new university tonight. Craig cooked. Ha.

Niamh is studying for a test about long ago but not far away.

Emmet and Sava and Chris came to my house after the university. They went downstairs to Emmet's nice room to play their new games. They got pizza from Mr. Tony's pizza store. And fizzy drinks.

They did not eat Craig's dinner. Ha.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Four

I had a very nice walk this morning. It is a nice day. I had to use my nose collar. Oh well.

I guarded Craig all morning. We had our breakfast toast together. 

We threw the green ball a lot. Then squirrels came and sat on my fence. I had to stop. I cannot get the ball when squirrels are on my very own fence. I hate squirrels.

Zita drove Emmet to his university. It is one of his stay all day at university days. He has lots to read he told me. All about very old people and places. That is what you do in the university. And eat doughnuts.

The present man brought Zita her very hard to find book. For her new university. That is good. 

More dancing tonight for Niamh. 

Zita says I need a bath. I do not like baths. I just like little baths. When my feet are dirty and I get in the bathtub with just a bit of water. That is good.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Three

More squirrels today. I hate squirrels. Squirrels get me into trouble. I hate squirrels.

Maggie's leg is too sore so she cannot chase the squirrels all away. Now I am in charge of keeping the squirrels away from all our houses. It is a big job. People do not understand how hard it is being a dog sometimes.

I had a nice walk this morning. It is not so warm. I like it like this. No rain today. I do not like the rain so much. I get way too soggy. 

Uncle Bill came over to help us with his big truck to bring a bed into our basement. It was Craig's mother's other bed. It is not so big. Nearly only big enough for me. 

I have my very own bed. It is a nice bed. And comfy.

Emmet and Zita were at their university today. Niamh was at her dance a lot school. Craig and I played throw the green ball. When he was not drinking his coffee. He drinks a lot of coffee. He is very stubborn.

Our cheese party friends are coming again for the being glad for everything big cheese party. They called and told us they could come. That is good. They like cheese too.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty Two

We had a long long walk today. There was no rain. We were not soggy at all. Then I had a little nap. Zita has to read a lot for her new university. I guard her when she reads.

Emmet went for his little walk. He cannot walk too far until his insides are all nice and beautiful. I go down to his way nice room to guard his comfy bed. The other room is full of boxes. From Craig's mothers. Lots and lots of stuff. Way too many chairs. 

Niamh and Cara and Emily are in our kitchen. They are making desserts. And singing. Very loud.

We had a frog in my kitchen last night. Emmet took him out into the garden. I cannot play with the frogs. They are too soft Zita says. Oh well.  

Craig and I played throw the green ball. He is very stubborn.

Zita has the very hard to find book for her new university on her way little only for books computer.  She said this a good way to have all her important university books in her pocket. 

I do not have one. I do not have pockets. If I could read I would read all about elephants. And polar bears. And brave dogs who help knights save people. Good books. Not nasty scary books with no pictures.

Day Four Hundred and Thirty One

Zita and I went for a nice long long walk this morning. Before anyone was awake. It is very quiet in the way early morning.

It is a rainy day and we did not want to be soggy. We went before the rain woke up. Ha.

Today is a dance all day long for Niamh. Zita says she will have to have a nice shower or she will have to sleep in my side yard. Way too smelly. Ha.

We only threw my green ball a bit because Craig melts in the rain.  

Everybody is very tired today. Oh well.

Emmet is reading all about a famous hero and monsters in long long ago. With swords. Heroes always have swords. That is why we have swords. In case we have to be heroes. It is known.

There were squirrels all over my patio this morning. I got in a bit of trouble. There was lots and lots of rain today. It did not drown all the squirrels. Oh well. Maybe the next time. Ha.

We are having Auntie Louise's way special smashed all in potatoes for dinner. Not my dinner. I had carrot treats. 

Smashed all in potatoes are Niamh and Emmet's very favourites. It is known. Auntie Louise phoned us to tell us the secret way you have to make them. I promised not to tell anyone. 

Uncle Bill already knows the secret. It is known. That is good. I would not like to keep secrets from Uncle Bill. He would know. 

Day Four Hundred and Thirty

Another way too early day. Oh well. I had a nice walk with my friend Jamie. That is nice.

I had to guard my house all day. 

Zita came home with boxes and boxes and lots of chairs. All in the basement. And the new very soft rug. Zita says we can have a furniture store. Ha.

Uncle Bill came over on his motorcycle. He only stayed a little bit. It was too nice to stay inside he said.

Emmet is going to write all about a way long ago war where all the brave soldiers went the wrong way. He will know the reason why. It is known. 

Emmet likes to write all about things like that. No elephants in this war. Oh well. 

Niamh is going to an outside bathtub to get squeaky clean with her friends. 

Day Four Hundred and Twenty Nine

I had a nice walk this mornings not way too early today.

Niamh was too sleepy and had to get a ride to school. Oh well.

I got all new soggy dog towels. Craig's mother does not need them any more. She gave them to me. They do not have any holes in them. That is good. 

Zita said we will get a nice new soft rug for the other living room down stairs. That is good I like soft rugs. And nice pillows. 

Emmet does not want to be a Pope any more. He wants to be a professor. And know all about long long long ago in way far away. No special Red Hat for me. Oh well.  

He will have to learn how to speak the Gaelic like grandad. Last year I tried to Bark in Gaelic. I could not. I can only bark in dog. Oh well. I do not want to be a professor. I only have to know dog. It is known.

Emmet says I can be his assistant. Assistants do not have to speak the Gaelic. That is good.

Day Four Hundred and Twenty Eight

We had a beautiful day. It is our get up way too early day. It is drive Niamh and Emmet to way too early classes.

Jamie and I went for a walk. Professor Jill makes Zita laugh a lot. That is good. Dogs like people who laugh. It is known.

Craig and I played throw my green ball. A lot. That is good. 

I still do not have a Red Ball. Craig says there must be a world wide plot. I should talk to Saint Newton Craig says. 

I will. It is known. I like Red Balls the best. 

Zita has her make every body be nice class tonight at her new university. It is a Saint too. Like Saint Newton. But it is a building not the nice man who listens to dog's prayers.

Craig and Zita and Paul moved Craig's mother's room today. It is a sunny room. She does not remember her old rooms. Oh well.

Emmet had his old Gods class so he can be a nice Pope.  He said when he is Pope I can have a special Red Hat. I like Red. It is known.

Day Four Hundred and Twenty Seven

I had a nice quiet day. Except for the problem with the squirrels this morning. Oh well. I had a nice walk with my friend Jamie. That is nice.

Craig and Zita were packing up loads of loads from his mother place. More furniture that is not for me to sit on. Oh well.

I guarded the house.

Emmet has to read way old writing. It is very hard to read. Craig said he would help. That is what dads are for he said. That is good.

Niamh's tummy is all better. Cousin Ciara in way far away is still sick. Craig said it is because they do not have enough peanut butter in way far away. That is silly. 

Uncle Bill says they do not need peanut butter because they have drinks made from potatoes. I do not like potatoes. They should use beans. Beans are good for you. It is known.

Day Four Hundred and Twenty Six

I had a busy day. Everyone is doing all their important school work. Except Craig and me. Craig was pretending to be a taxi. I was guarding the house.

Craig drove Niamh and Emmet to school this morning. When he got home I got into his little car. I sat in the car and watched all the people walking on my street. 

After a while we went for little drives in the little car. Not too far away. In Craig's car I sit in the front seat.  I only barked a very little bit. I was very good Craig said. That is good.

Niamh has a sick tummy. Craig got her at her dance all the time school and then he got Emmet at his university. Then we were all home. I like that. It is right. 

I had a nice nap on my cosy duvet to help Zita study.

They are all drinking Irish tea. Not Craig. He is not Irish. 

Irish tea is just right for studying your important university books. Or a sick tummy. It is known.
