Day Four Hundred and Eighty Six

Another way too early day.

I had two dinners last night. Ha.  Zita left Craig a note. He did not read it right. I had two dinners. That is good.

We had a nice walk. We went right on the empty pond. There is ice there. Ice is way scary. It makes noise when I step on it. Too noisy. That is way the ducks go on vacation. It is known.

We put up lights on my side yard. We are getting ready for St. Santa's visit. 

Craig finished his sad book. The nice French policeman's nice dog died. He was shot by a nasty man. He was very brave. He saved his policeman's life. 

The policeman was very very sad. He killed the nasty man with an old spear. That is good. They should not write sad books about dogs. Only about squirrels. 

I will talk to St. Newton tonight. He will find the policeman's nice dog a nice place to stay. Where he can chase all the foxes he wants. That is good. 

We went to the little lake for our afternoon adventure. No ducks there either. There are lots of cars on the roads to the little lake. They are very noisy. Oh well.

Niamh's dance friend is going to stay here tonight. They will not sleep. Just laugh. I will have to stay up to guard them. I might get special treats. Ha.

Zita is going to see a funny man with her friends. That is nice. 

Maybe Craig will not forget the recipe tonight. Ha. 

We are going to have own made pizza. No recipe to forget. Ha.

Day Four Hundred and Eighty Five

I had a very busy day. We had a nice walk in the morning. Not way too much pulling. That is good.

Everybody had to go all different places today. I guarded the house. With my peanut butter treats.

Zita had a meeting to go to tonight. I could not go. She took her gold big car. Lions are afraid of gold cars. It is known.

Craig and Emmet made dinner. I got some beans.

Craig forgot the recipe for dinner. Too bad for them. They will starve. Or have to eat peanut-butter sandwiches. Ha. 

My dinner was all right. There is no recipe to forget. That is good. 

Niamh had to go toe dancing tonight.  She has to practice a lot. She is going to be in the special all toe dancing night. She has a way beautiful costume. I have not seen it. She told me.

Day Four Hundred and Eighty Four

It was our everybody get up very early day.  It is a confusing day. I do not like confusing.  

We do not go for our nice walk when we get up. When we get up everybody has to go away to all their schools. I stay here to guard the house.

When Zita comes home then we have our walk. It is a way late walk. 

Today was very cold. Zita had her long coat and her warm gloves on. I did not wear my cosy coat.

Her gold big car was away getting its do not get stuck tires. We went and got the car from the car store this afternoon on our walk. It was not a very good walk.

I pulled way too much Zita said. Oh dear. I do not know why I was not a good listener today.  Maybe it was too windy. Oh well. 

Later Emmet and Chris and Sava will come to my house from their university to play games in Emmet's cosy room. With all the comfy leather chairs. And all the computers. Ha.

Day Four Hundred and Eighty Three

It is not rainy today. That is good. I do not like the rain so much.  I like windy days. That make my ears fly.

We had a nice walk. Then I had to get Niamh up. She would be late for school without me. It is known. She does not wake up very well. I have to jump on to her new big comfy bed. Or she will go back to all asleep. Oh well. 

I do not like the word later. Or waiting. Craig is way too busy being the French policeman with the nice dog. That dog does not have to wait for someone to throw its green ball.

To much coffee. Too much reading. Too much waiting. Oh well. 

We used the noisy make the floors clean machine today.  I had a nice nap.  

There was a very big truck on my corner.  The men were climbing the trees. I told Jamie they were looking for the nasty squirrels. We hope so. Ha.  

Zita is taking her gold big car to Mr. Paul's store to get her do not get stuck in the snow tires put on. They are the tires made by the funny fat man. People are silly.  It is known.

I wait at my window for my people to come home. When they are out. 

I get Craig to watch with me. In case I see a lion. And we need to get the way big cannon from under Emmet's bed. Craig made it for him when he was not so big as now.

Day Four Hundred and Eighty Two

More Chinese dinner last night. Ha.

We had a cold wet walk this morning. Oh well. A soggy everybody day.

It is the remember all the people who were in all the old wars day. It is very sad day. Niamh and I watched all the very old soldiers on our television in the den. We sat on the blue sofa. That is good.

They had a parade. And they had lots of bagpipes. And big drums. And cold legs. They were wearing their kilts. That is why scots people have to eat porridge all the time. To keep warm. It is known. 

Craig said that there were lots of Bouviers in the way old war. They were a big help. They pulled little wagons for the hurt soldiers. That was very brave. 

I am very brave too. Except for big rolling garbage cans. I have to be big help and very brave to guard my family. It is my job.

Emmet walked home from his university. He was soggy too. 

Zita and I went to the hardware store where they give nice dogs treats. That is good. 

When we walked home there was way too much rain. We were all too soggy. Zita had to put on new clothes. I did not have to do that. I am a dog. 

Tonight is Niamh's dance late at night day. I will help to drive her home. Even if it is way dark outside. With lions. 

Day Four Hundred and Eighty One

We had Chinese dinner last night. From the way good Chinese food store. Everybody dropped lots and lots. St. Newton was here to help me. It is known.

All the snow is gone. Just cold rain. I was a soggy dog again. And cold. The squirrels did not freeze. Oh well. 

Zita is gone to her all day at her new university. Her new university is a friend of St. Newton. 

Niamh did not get up until way late. The same time as Emmet. Ha. Craig and I were awake for a long long time before them. Outside throwing my green ball. Ha.

Niamh made peanut butter cookies for everybody after she got up. I got some. That is good.

Emmet and Sava remembered what day they had to go to the way loud movie. It was today. They are silly. It is known.

I stayed home to guard Craig. And catch my green ball. 

Tomorrow is the sad day when we remember all the people who died in the way long ago wars. It is allways a sad day.  

There is a nice statue for all the soldier dogs who helped. Some of them died too. It is always a sad day. It is known.

Old Colonel George was in a long ago war. Craig's father flew in big airplanes in another long ago war. They did not die. Their friends did. That is why it is a sad day.

More Chinese food tonight. Ha.  

Day Four Hundred and Eighty

It is a get up early day. 

Today is a go to university all weekend day for Zita. This is Niamh's dance all day day too.

Just Craig and Emmet at home. And me to take care of them.  Craig did not go to his breakfast. He had to stay at home so Niamh would not sleep all the time and miss her dance a lot day.

I got Craig to throw my green ball. It will make his arm all better. It is known.

Emmet went for his walk. He wore his keep his ears warm hat. It was snowing all afternoon. All my tree are white. And the grass. Oh well. 

The squirrels cannot hide on the snow. Ha. Maybe they will freeze. Ha. 

Emmet has a way big picture. It says "Winter Is Comimg". It is right. Oh well.

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Nine

There was snow on the sky this morning before my walk. It was all gone before I got home. 

I got to guard the house today. Everybody was gone away. I got peanut butter treats. Ha. 

All the nice people came to get the newspapers to give away. I did not bark much. That is good.

Emmet had his know everything about all the way old Gods who people forgot except Emmet exam today. He got one wrong. Oh well. 

Emmet and Chris and Sava were going to one of the loud movies. They did not go. They forgot which day they wanted to go. Ha.Too bad for them. They will go tomorrow and eat lots of hot chips and hamburgers.  

Niamh went out today to find all the special clothes for her Christmas dance a lot night. 

They going to do the dance where they break all the nuts and fight the awful mice. With cannons. 

Niamh and I watched it on our television in the den a long time ago. Niamh likes the music. That is good. I did not like the mice. 

No mice here. Just squirrels. And very big lions hiding in the bushes at night. That is why nobody should go out at night without me. I tell them that. They do not listen. It is hard being a dog in this house. Oh well.

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Eight.

It is newspaper day. The machine that makes all the newspaper will not work. Oh dear.  

Everyone is waiting.

 I had a nice walk with Jamie this morning. Then I helped Zita with all her writing. On my cosy duvet.

Craig threw my green ball. Not so much today. He said that his too sore arm needed a little rest.  That is good. He did not forget how to throw my green ball.

Uncle Bill came over for tea and cookies. And to make Emmet and Zita laugh. He is a funny man.

His phone sounds like his noisy motorcycle. That is silly. Oh well

Niamh and I went for my before dinner walk. Zita had to fix her toe dance shoes. With pretty ribbons.

It is after my dinner and no papers are here yet. Oh dear.

Zita said I was a very pretty dog. It is true. And very fierce. Most of the time. Especially when I have my blue bone. Ha.  

The nice men with the way way big truck brought our papers. I only barked a bit. They said I was a very polite dog. They are right.  

Mr. Tony is going to send us pizza from his pizza store.  I cannot have pizza.   Oh well.

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Seven

It is the get up way too early day. 

I had a nice day. I was a big help. We moved the cars a lot. I helped. I like helping. 

Last night Zita and I got Niamh at her dance until late class. We took Zita's gold big car. We did not see any lions. Lions are afraid of Zita's gold car. Ha.

Emmet learned all about Bad King John today.  He was a bad king and all the brave knights made him write a letter promising to be good. He forgot all about it. That is why he was a bad king.  Then Bad King John lost all his treasure in the river.  Then he could not be king. Too bad for him.

Emmet and I are going go to way far away and find it. He will write a story about how Emmet and his brave dog found the treasure and gave it to the nice Queen. It will be a good story. We will keep some of the treasure to buy me a new Red Ball.

Zita has her stay late night at her new university. Emmet and Niamh and Craig will eat nice sandwiches Zita left. And vegetables. Ha.

Craig went to the not so nice doctor at the hospital. Now his arms are sore. Maybe he will not be able to throw my green ball tomorrow. Oh dear.

Craig said her family used to steal cows way long ago in way far away Scotland. He should not go to that kind of doctor.  It is known. My Doctor Smith would not steal cows. 

Day Four a Hundred and Seventy Six

I had another nice walk. I get two breakfasts now.  A little one before we go on our walk. And another one when we get home. I do not know why. Oh well.

Everybody is still writing lots and lots. University people need to write all the time. 

When they are not writing they have to read lots and lots so they can write stories for the university. That is why you have to drink big cups of tea and eat donuts when you go to university. 

When Zita cannot write any more we go for nice walks and have treats. That is good. 

I like treats and nice walks. Not late at night when the lions hide in the bushes. Or in big garbage cans. 

Emmet finished his story about the old war. Now it is time for Emmet to remember all about way way old gods. Who everybody forgot about. That is sad. Except Emmet. He is friends with all the way old gods. That is nice. 

Everyone should have friends. Even way old ones. Like Craig and Uncle Bill. 

Day four Hundred and Seventy Five

I had a nice walk. It is a bit cold. Zita has her not so very warm gloves on today.

Craig and Emmet had to go to the doctor so they do not get the fly away. 

Paul did not get it. It is going to fly away to way far away. Craig is taking him to the airplane so he will not get lost. He is going to fix a bathtub. They do not have hot water in way far away. Emmet said. Oh well. 

Everybody is writing writing writing. Not a lot of time for throwing my green ball. Oh well.

Tonight Niamh has dance until late. We have to get her. Because of the lions I think. 

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Four

I had a nice day. It is always quiet on Sundays. Except when the make all the floors clean machine is on. We had muffins. We made them ourselves. Nothing dropped. Oh well. 

Craig and I threw the green ball a lot today. That is good. It is a very sunny day. Craig does not mind very sunny days. Not like rainy days. Or snowy days. 

We got up late today. All the clocks made more time. I do not know how. People have silly rules. Now it gets dark when I go for my other walk. I do not like that. Lions hide in the dark. 

Dogs do not need clocks. It is known. 

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Three

It was a nice quiet day.

Zita was at the new university helping people pay attention. All day.

Saturday is Niamh's dance all day day. She forgot to wake up. She was almost late. Silly Niamh. I had to jump on her bed to get her up. Ha.

Craig and I played throw my green ball a lot today.

After I go away to the make me beautiful store I do not like to be way far way from my people. In case they forgot who I am.  People forget sometimes. It is known. 

Craig made marks on Emmet's story all about the old war where all the poor horses went to the wrong place. Where the other side had big cannons. That is not fair. A silly war. 

It is cold out today. Emmet had to wear his warm ears hat. I was not cold. Except my bottom. Oh well.

I had a big nap in Niamh's room. It is a soft room. Lots of soft clothes on the floor. It is a good place for a nice nap. Craig says it is a messy room. That is not true. It is a nice soft room for nice warm naps. It is known. Ha.

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Two

We had lots and lots of people come to my house for the special treats for everyone night. 

I went to the door every time. With Zita. To give treats to all the little children. Even the way too scary ones. No dogs came.  Oh well. 

Niamh and Emily and Cara came over with their beautiful dress me up costumes. That was nice. I did not know who they were. Oh well.

It did not rain very much last night. No way too soggy people. That is good. Niamh got way too much chocolate. Zita says she will have to help her eat it all. Ha.

I went to the make me beautiful store this morning. I worry that they will forget where they left me and I will never get home. Zita did remember and I am home now. 

I am much smaller now. Now I have a cold bottom. Sitting on the cold patio is way too cold. Oh well. 

Craig says I am beautiful. He can see my lovely eyes. That is nice. I am way glad to be home. The make me beautiful store makes me tired. It is known.

Zita has to work tomorrow. At her new university. To help people do what is right. And not be sad. That is nice. She does not need my help. Oh well.

Craig went to Dr. Smith's hospital store and got my special food so I will not starve. That is good. 

It is very windy today. Flappy ears. It is known.
