Day Two Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty Five

I had a very busy night last night.

Because of our Sing Happy Birthday day party. 

I had to guard everything. By myself.

Because everybody else was too busy eating. 

We put all the beautiful decorations on our giant Merry Christmas tree. And we had our dinner too. Ha.

And after we had all the tasty treats we had two all on fire cakes.

Because we have two Sing Happy Birthday days. On the same day. Ha. Good for us.

Niamh’s cake was just made of ice cream. It is her favourite cake. Ha.

And Emmet had his very favourite just full of chocolate cake. Ha.

Then all the ladies put on their own beautiful party clothes so they could go dancing. Downtown. 

Craig and Zita and I stayed here. To make everything neat and tidy again. 

And Emmet had to talk to his from very far away friends. On his other computer.

Maybe Mister Florian in way far away Spain. 

He is still in the very very very old library. Looking for old stories. 

He is not even going home for Merry Christmas time. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

He has to stay in way far away Spain and eat lots and lots of delicious food instead.

This morning Craig and Mister Paul went to the old friends breakfast restaurant. 

Zita and I did not go. We were too busy putting up our beautiful decorations.

I was a very big help. Zita told me. 

After lunchtime Zita went shopping with doctor Susan. 

So I stayed here to mind Craig and Emmet.

I had a nice little nap. Outside in my side yard. 

It is not even cold today. Everything is just melting away. Ha. 

Now everybody will be very soggy. With cold feet too. Oh well. Too bad for them.

Emmet talked to his grandmother and grandfather today. On the telephone. 

So they could say Happy Birthday. From way far away Dublin. That is nice.

Niamh could not talk to them.

Because she was working at the beautiful clothes store. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Zita and I did not go for our before dinnertime walk today.

I did not want to get all messy and soggy. She said maybe we will go after dinner. 

Or maybe I will have a nice nap instead 

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight. 

If Niamh does not have to work until too late. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Maybe we will watch new detectives tonight. Maybe.

Zita and I went for a nice walk before everybody was all awake.

Then she and the go fast car went downtown. To the rascal ladies office.

Craig got up so he could wrap some secret presents. Even one from me to my friend Emmet. Ha.

I do not know what it is. 

Because it is still a secret present.

Niamh and Miss Rima got brand new very little dresses. Just all full of sparkles. And no backs at all.

They are only for parties. They came in the mail. Maybe they are too small. Maybe.

So she left the black car here and helped him come back to our house. 

Because he was nearly all stuck in the too much snow. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

The go fast chair does not have do not get stuck in the snow tires. That is silly.

He was as soggy as can be when he was home. 

So I stayed with him in the kitchen. Until he was a dry as a chip.

Then when everybody was home it was open all the presents time.

And then we have lots of cheese and tasty treats. Ha. 

And we all get special Merry Christmas time secret presents. From our friend Mister Saint Santa. Me too. 

Some people do not care about Mister Saint Santa. 

So they do not get any lovely secret presents. Too bad for them. 

But their very nice dogs do not get any either. 

Because Mister Saint Santa does not know where they live. Oh dear. That is not all right.

I fell asleep outside. In my own side yard. And when I was all awake I was a snow dog. Oh dear.

It is hard making just right toasts. Sometimes they are way too toasty. But I am always a big help. 

Because Craig always makes too much toasts and I have to eat the extra bits. Ha. Good for me.

Emmet told me a lady in far away Antigonish made the just straight lines words on his arm. 

The words are not in one of his interesting fat books. They are right on his own arm. So he cannot loose them anywhere.

That is not so nice. They are way too noisy.

This afternoon Niamh finished one of her big new stories.

So Craig read it until it was all as beautiful as could be. Ha. That is good. 

Then Zita came home. She brought Emmet. 

Because he was all finished the very very long exam.

But he was very tired so he had some Irish tea and a nice nap when Zita and I went for our before dinnertime walk.

Now Emmet has words on his arm. He showed them to me.

But they are not real words. Just lots of straight lines. On his own arm. 

Because they are way way way old Irish words.

But they are not our out loud words. They are not our words at all. Oh well.

But my friend Emmet can read them. All by himself. 

The straight lines words say my friend Emmet is iron. That is silly. He is not. He just soft like me. Ha. 

People are silly. 

Even very very very old Irish people were silly. Ha. Too bad for them.

Emmet is now nearly a way way way old Irish person too. 

So now he can read the straight line words. And even write them too. Ha. 

Emmet’s grandfather is a way old Irish person. 

But he cannot read the just very straight line words. Oh well. Too bad for him.

We are having some delicious used food for our dinner tonight. Ha. That is good. 

Used food is my favourite. 

Maybe Mister Saint Newton will let some tasty bits fall on the floor. Just for me. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty Two

It was sleep in Sunday but everybody got up too early today.

Except for my friend Emmet. He stayed in his very comfy bed. 

With all his own pillows. In his own big bedroom. Ha.

Because going on aeroplanes make you very tired. 

Zita and I only went for a little walk this morning. 

Because it is a windy freezie rain day. Those are not so nice days. For nice long walks. 

When Emmet was just all nearly awake he made a sandwich and went back to his comfy bedroom.

So he could study for his silly for the Harvard university exam. It is tomorrow. Oh dear. 

And Niamh was busy writing her brand new stories. Oh dear. 

Everybody is busy. Except Craig. He is just reading. In the den. 

Niamh told me that her store is not the expensive clothes store. 

It is the stretch yourself all over store. Oh well. Too bad for me.

So Zita drove her to her stretching everything store before our lunchtime.

Because of the nasty windy outside day. 

Before lunchtime Zita used her special machine and made my comfy bed into two comfy beds. Ha. 

That is a good machine. Maybe it is a magic machine. 

There is lots of magic on the television. Like scary dragons. Ha.

Craig and I had a giant chocolate croissant. 

I only had a little crunchy piece without the chocolate bits. Ha. 

Croissants are my favourite. And cheese too.

Sometimes we have delicious cheesie croissants. Ha. Good for me.

Zita took all our dirty clothes to the clothes cleaning store. 

So we will not only have dirty clothes to wear. 

I do not have any dirty clothes. I just have an all the time messy face. 

And sometimes my keep me dry as can be coat is dirty. Too bad for me.

When Zita came home we had Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagels for our lunchtime snack.

With the only for bagels cheese. Two kinds of cheese. Ha.

When we were all finished Zita took all the very clean clothes downstairs. 

To the make everything as dry as a chip machine. That is good.

And Emmet went back to his studying for the tomorrow exam. Oh dear.

Then Zita went out. In the black go fast car. She did not say where she was going.

Because it is secret presents time. Ha.

We are going to to have a special welcome home Emmet dinner tonight. 

With special very tasty cooked outside steaks. And maybe cheese. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty One

It was Craig’s old friends breakfast day today.

But Zita and I did not take him to the busy street restaurant. 

Because Craig and Mister Paul went all by themselves. Too bad for them.

Then Zita and I had a nice quiet by ourselves morning. That is a nice morning.

We had our toasts together. And looked out my watching window. 

Then we went for our before lunchtime walk. It is not cold today. That is nice. 

I did not have to wear my keep me warm coat today. 

But Zita had to use her keep your hands toasty warm gloves. 

Last night Zita was at the rascal ladies office for so long a nice man brought us tasty food. 

From the delicious food restaurant up on the busy street. Ha.

At then we ate it. And there was so much Niamh took some for her dinner tonight. 

Because Niamh went to the expensive clothes store at lunchtime today. 

Because it is a stay until late night at the store. Too bad for her.

My friend Emmet is coming back to our house today. 

On the very fast do not get lost aeroplane. Right to our city. Ha.

So Zita and the black go fast car will go to the aeroport and find him right away. That is good. 

So he can have his lovely dinner here. With me. Ha. That is good.

But Niamh will not be here. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

Zita went to the lots of delicious food store. 

To get lots and lots of milk. And big steaks. And tasty fat chocolate croissants.

But no pastas. Ha. 

Because my friend Emmet is coming home tonight. Ha. And they are his favourite. 

Maybe we will watch the from way way far away in Australia detectives tonight. 

If my friend Emmet is fast asleep tired.
