Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty

I had a very nice sleep last night.

Because we went to our comfy bed early. Ha. That was a good idea.

We did not go for our before dinner walk last night. 

When you were a bit too sick you do not have to go on walks if you do not want to. Ha.

So we had a nice walk this morning. 

It is not dark outside in the morning. That is good for walks. Ha. 

Nothing can catch you when it is not dark outside. It is known.

Niamh was up early this morning because she is minding two little girls today. For money.

I do not know why. Oh well.

Then she has to go to her beautiful clothes store until late tonight. Oh dear.

I am nearly not sick at all today. That is good.

Zita talked to auntie Eileen this morning. On the telephone. I minded her. Right on her feet. 

So she would have toasty warm feet. Ha. Good for me.

We had a very nice quiet day today. That is good. 

They had a giant windy all the time storm in Ireland. 

So my friend Emmet just hid in his very little apartment. 

And looked out his window. And read his very interesting old books. Ha. That is good. 

Craig was a little busy today. Finding interesting stories for the Queen. 

After lunchtime Mister Paul came for a nice have some coffee and cookies visit.

And to get the where to put holes in the wall machine. 

I do not think you should put hole in walls. Oh dear. Maybe he will get in trouble. Too bad for him.

Then Zita went to her stretching until you are smelly store. 

When she was all smelly she went and found our silver little car and brought it back to our house. 

So it can be with it’s friend the black go fast car. 

It is always nice to have your friends beside you.

I have lots of friends. They come to visit all the time. That is nice. To have biscuits and Irish tea.

Only Craig and Zita and I are here for our dinner tonight. 

Because Niamh is at her work and my friend Emmet will be fast asleep in way far away Cork.

Because of the all the time wrong clocks. Oh dear. 

Sometimes Emmet forgets to eat. 

So the cousins have to go Cork city and show him where the tasty restaurants are. That is nice. 

Because he is nearly not there. And the fierce winds will just blow him right up into the air. 

Just like a bird. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

That is why you have to have tasty food all the time. Or you will be just like a fly away bird. Ha.

Maybe we will watch the new detective program tonight. 

The radio lady said it would be snowing all night tonight. Oh dear. That is not so nice. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Nine

I am still not feeling all well. Maybe I am still a bit sore.

So last night I just slept on the soft rug in the living room. 

I did not want to go to my comfy bed. Oh dear.

So then my friend Zita came in late late at night and slept right beside me on the sofa. 

So I was not just all alone. 

It is not so nice to be all alone when you are not feeling so very well. It is known. 

Craig got up early too. And Craig and Zita and I had our toasts together. 

And then we had even more toasts. Ha. 

Zita and I went for a nice very little walk. Not so far today. 

I do not like my new medicine so much. It makes me way too sleepy all the time.

So I did not have any this morning. Ha. 

Niamh went to the beautiful clothes store early today. 

Then she has to go to her university. Oh dear.

The silver little car took Zita to her own office this morning. 

Because Mister Mike is still fixing Zita’s go fast car. Oh dear.,

Craig and I looked out my watching window for a while.

Because a very big and very noisy truck with a lot of men stopped right on my corner. For a long time. 

Craig said they taking all the ice away from the holes in the street. Oh well.

When they were all gone I had another nice nap. Beside my friend Craig. 

Then my friend Niamh came home. To get comfy clothes to go to her university classes. 

It is a stay until late at night tonight at her university. So you have to have comfy clothes.

Miss Lilly wrote a story in our nice university’s own newspaper. 

But it was only about cats. Oh well. 

Miss Lilly sent us the picture of Niamh reading the newspaper. Cats are not so interesting. Ha.

Before lunchtime Craig went in the den. But I stayed in the living room. 

On the comfy rug.

Then after my lunch Craig made our together lunch.

We had very crunchy peanut butter and honey toasts. In the den. I had two very crunchy bits. Ha.

Then I had a lovely nap. In the kitchen on my own comfy rug. 

Then I went to my watching window so I could watch for my friend Zita. 

And see if there are any wolves hiding anywhere.

When she came home she brought her black go fast car with her. Ha. That is good. 

The silver little car is having a rest at Mister Mikes’s store. Until tomorrow.

I am not so very sleepy all the time now. That is good. 

Maybe we will watch the old churchman detective tonight. 

He does not have a very scary program. That is good.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Eight

Everybody got up early this morning.

Because I was not feeling so very well. I did not want to lie down. I do not know why.

So Zita and Niamh took me to see Miss Armstrong my very nice doctor. We went right away.

And we went in doctor Susan’s new car.

Because our cars were all frozen in the too much icy snow. 

But I did not have stay at the little hospital. I only had to have a little visit. 

I had to have some tests. But Zita and Niamh kept me company. 

You should always have your friends keep you company when anything is a bit scary. It is known.

Then things are not too scary. They are just a little bit scary. Ha.

Then we went back home in doctor Susan’s new car.

I only like being at my own house. With my very own family. It is known.

My doctor gave me some brand new do not be very sore medicine.

So I can get all better. That is good.

You have to have do not be sore medicine when you get old. Dogs too.

But I did not know I was an old dog. Nobody told me. 

Maybe I got old when we found the brand new year. Maybe.

Craig is old too. That is why he takes medicine for his not so very good anymore shoulders.

And Craig has to take it easy some days. 

Maybe I can have those days too. Ha. That is a good idea.

We took Niamh to her nice university before we came home to our own house.

And when I was all back home Miss Tamina was here. And her helper too.

They were making the house all spic and span. 

But I had a very big sleep right on the rug in the living room. So I could mind my friend Zita too.

And she kept me company when I was fast asleep. Craig helped too. 

Because they are my family.

Now I have a bandage on my leg. 

Because they took away some of my blood. 

So they will know why I had to go to my hospital. Oh dear.

Going to the hospital makes you very tired. It is known.

So Zita did not go to her work today. 

She just stayed here to help Craig mind me. Ha. That is nice.

We had two toasts for our lunchtime. 

I got four crunchy bits. Ha. Good for me. 

Then Zita took the black go fast car to Mister Mike’s fix your car store. 

So it would be all happy again.

So I watched her from my watching window. 

She had to take all the icy snow off the car. That took a long time. Too bad for her. 

Then I had my tasty lunch. With cheese on top. Ha. 

When she came home I had another nap. Right beside her. 

She was reading her book for her brand new class at our nice university.

Because she is going to take some more interesting classes. 

But only on Saturdays. Not all the days this time.

So I was very quiet when she was reading her book.

Because I was way fast asleep. 

My brand new medicine made me a bit very sleepy. Oh well.

We did not have an afternoon walk. 

Because of my new medicine. So I had a nice nap instead.

But I was nearly awake for our dinnertime. I got more cheese on my dinner. Ha. 

But I am still a bit not just all right. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Maybe I will go to my comfy bed early tonight. That is a good idea.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Seven

We did not go for our before breakfast walk today.

Because when I was fast asleep the weather remembered it was wintertime. 

And now there is snow everywhere again. 

And it was still all windy icy snow outside. Oh dear.

It was too slippy to go for a nice walk. 

So I minded Zita when she talked to her parents. In way far away Dublin.

Craig did not have his sleep in today. Oh well.

And Miss Georgie did not get all awake at the right time. 

So her aeroplane went to Toronto without her. Oh dear.

Then Craig and Zita and I had our breakfast toasts.

And we looked out my watching window at all the brand new too much snow. Oh dear.

And then the beautiful clothes store called Niamh. 

Because someone else forgot to go to their work today. Oh goodness. 

So my friend Niamh went instead. But she had to go on the smelly bus.

Because Zita had to talk to the rascal ladies on the telephone. Oh dear.

It is an Oh Dear Me day today. Oh well. 

I minded Zita when she was talking to all the rascal ladies. I was very quiet. Good for me.

You have to be very quiet when people have important things to talk about. It is known.

Zita said I was the quietest dog ever. Ha. Good for me.

Then we had our lunchtime. And I got some special cheese treats. Ha. 

Today is the special day for everybody in the whole world who has red hair. I do not know why.

But my friend Niamh has red hair. All the time. 

Some people do not always have the same colour of hair. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Craig used to black hair. But now it is just all grey. 

I do not have red hair. 

But now I have some grey hairs. 

But not so much as Craig. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita talked to professor Jill so we went on our not very long walk altogether. 

The icy wind was very cold. So we did not stay outside for so long.

Then I helped Zita shovel the icy snow. It was very hard snow. 

Because of the freezie rain. We could not take it all away. Oh dear. 

We will ask Mister Kirian to shovel it all away. Ha. That is a good idea.

We had only us for dinner tonight. So minding everybody was very easy.

Tonight we will watch the nice detective. The one who has his very own church. 

Mister Tom brought him to our house today. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Six

It is silly day today. It is a rain all the time day. And not cold at all. That is not all right. 

When Zita and I went for our long before breakfast walk there was nobody outside. Just us.

And everything was very slippy outside. So we had a very careful walk this morning. 

So we did not fall down at all. But we were very soggy when we got home.

And it is Craig’s old friends breakfast day today. But he did not go.

Because of the all the time rain. Oh dear.

He did not have even a little sleep in. 

So we had our toasts and jam together and looked at the nasty slippy outside.

Zita went to have her nice breakfast with doctor Susan and Miss Chris. I did not go.

Because I had to mind everybody here.

When I got fast awake Miss Georgie was here too. In the basement. Fast asleep. Ha.

Then she had a squeaky clean shower. 

A car took Niamh and Miss Georgie to downtown. 

So Niamh could go to her beautiful clothes store. 

Because of the all the time rain.

Zita went to the make you beautiful store after lunchtime. In the all the time rain.

Craig and I did not play catch the ball today. 

He did not want to be as soggy as could be. Oh well. 

I had a nice afternoon nap on my comfy duvet. On the big comfy bed. Ha. Good for me.

Our cousin Orlaith was in way far away Cork today. To visit her friend.

And so she could take my friend Emmet out for tea and tasty treats. 

So he will not starve away into just nothing. 

This afternoon Craig and watched a program on the television. 

All about a professor at Emmet’s university. Right in Cork. Ha. 

I even saw the buildings where Emmet goes to tell everybody all about his very very old Irish heroes. Ha.

And I saw even the same door that Emmet uses. Ha. That was nice.

But Emmet was not there. It was another man.

Because Emmet was having his tea with cousin Orlaith. He was not on the television. Ha.

When Zita got home we went for our dinnertime walk. Even in the still rainy outside. Oh well.

I had to wear my keep you all dry coat as can be and my rubber boots too. But I was still a soggy dog.

But we found Professor Jill. She and the little dog were all soggy too. Oh dear.

Then Zita and I made our own delicious dinner before she went downtown to find Niamh.

To bring her home for our own delicious dinner. 

I stayed in the kitchen. 

Because I was still all soggy. Again. Too bad for me.

Last night we watched all of the detective from the very far away ice land. 

But it was not full of ice. So that is a silly name.

We will have to find a brand new detective program tonight. Ha, 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Five

We had a get up very early morning this morning.

Zita and I went for a very long walk in the dark. Oh dear.

So it was not a good morning to everybody walk.

Because everybody else was still very fast asleep. Oh well.

Then Zita drove Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. 

Before she went to her rascal ladies office and I minded Craig.

But we did not have a lovely sleep in today.

Because Craig was too hot. Oh well. 

So we had our tasty toasts instead. And then I had a very nice nap. Right beside him.

It is not cold outside today. And everything is melting again. 

The radio lady said it was going to be a windy rain day today. And tomorrow too. 

Maybe with icy rain too. Oh dear.

Then everybody will be all the time soggy. Oh dear. That is silly weather. 

After lunchtime Mister Paul came to visit us. For his too much coffee. 

Because he came back from way far away London. Ha. That is good. 

They do not have such nice coffees in way far away London. 

Because they only make lots and lots of tea all the time.

Craig and he talked for a long time. In the dining room. 

So I had a nice nap. In the kitchen so I could mind them too. Good for me.

We only played catch the ball a few times today.

It is a bit messy in my side yard. Oh well. Too bad for me.

When Zita came home we had a very nice little walk. 

Then Craig and Zita went to the little restaurant for a tasty dinner.

I stayed here to guard the house and my friend Niamh.

She made me my own little cheesie toast. 

And then we played loud music. And we danced too. Ha. 

We had our own party altogether. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Four

We did not have a sleep in today.

Zita and I went for a not so very long walk. 

It is way too cold for our feet so we only had a go around our street walk.

Then Zita and the silver little car went downtown. 

Because of the way too much cold.

Today the silver little car will have a nice stay in the toasty warm basement for cars. Ha. 

It will be an all warmed up happy little car. That is good.

Last night the present man brought a secret Merry Christmas present for Emmet.

But he was all gone to way far away. Oh dear. 

And Craig said there are two more secret presents that did not have time to get here. Oh dear.

 Now our beautiful Merry Christmas tree is right outside our house. Oh dear

Craig and I did not have even a little sleep today. 

Because he had to have his too too many coffees. 

Then we had a toasty warm bagel. With from somewhere far away jam. Good for us.

At lunchtime Niamh went to her nice university. For her all about rascals class.

Miss Tarryn drove her in her nearly a truck.

Because she has a class too. And it way too cold to find a smelly bus. Or to walk. 

I only had to mind Craig. He was busy finding new stories for our nice Queen.

So I had a very nice quiet day. 

When it is too cold outside everybody has a nice quiet day. 

Because they stay inside where it is comfy warm. Even the dogs too.

Because nobody wants to have too cold feet. Ha.

My friend Emmet is back in his very little apartment. In way far away Cork. 

His aeroplanes did not get lost at all. That is good.

I think he will be very tired.

Because of the wrong clocks in way far away. Oh dear. 

They should just buy the right time clocks. 

Niamh is going to find a brand new class.

Because she does not want to read all about Locks again. I do not know why.

So she and the university found other interesting classes instead. Oh well.

More presents came this afternoon. 

One was a fat book for Zita and one was a for everybody present. Me too.

Because it is a beautiful Merry Christmas decoration. 

It is a little statue of me. For the Merry Christmas tree. Ha. 

That is a very good for just us present. It is known. 

Zita and Kathy and Miss Gerrie are going out for a lovely dinner tonight.

So I will only have to mind Craig and Niamh. That is an easy job. 

Maybe he will watch the hockey game. 

Then maybe I will have a nice nap. Ha..

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Three

Zita and I got up in the middle of the night this morning. In the still very very dark.

So she could drive my friend Emmet to the train station.

Because it is today that he goes all the way back to his in Cork old university. 

In way far away Ireland. Oh dear.

The silver little car took them because the black car is not a happy car.

It is going to Mister Mikes’s fix your car all up store. Oh dear.

When Zita came home we went back to fast asleep. Ha. Good for us.

And we had a little sleep in too. 

Craig had a bigger sleep in. Ha.

When he was fast awake Zita and Craig and I had our toasts. Ha. 

Niamh did not get up until lunchtime. 

Because she was caught by the nasty cold. 

Doctor Susan says everybody has the same nasty cold. But I do not have it. Ha.

Niamh is going to her beautiful clothes store anyway. That is silly.

She told Zita that she is all better. I do not think that is true. Oh dear. 

Because she took a big box of blow your nose tissues. Too bad for her.

We did not go on our before breakfast walk today. 

Because we were fast asleep at breakfast time. Ha.

So we went on an afternoon walk instead. That is good. 

It is not all dark when you go for afternoon walks.

When I got back I kept Craig company in the kitchen. We had toasty bagels for our lunchtime.

Then I was all dry as could be. Ha. 

So I minded Zita in the living room. Right beside her. 

We put all our beautiful Merry Christmas decorations away. Good for us.

But then we took our beautiful Merry Christmas tree down too.

And put it outside. 

And then we cleaned everything all up. Oh well. 

Our Merry Christmas time is all over again. Oh dear me.

Only Craig and Zita will be here for dinnertime tonight. 

So it will not be hard to mind them.

Last night we watched ladies from far away Scotland. 

They help detectives. And teach at the university.

They teach the same interesting classes that cousin Orlaith is taking. 

But not at her university. At another university in Scotland. 

Maybe we will watch it again tonight. 

When it was our own bedtime my friend Emmet was in an aeroplane going to way far away.

And when we are just wide awake tomorrow Emmet will be at his old university. In Cork. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Two

Craig and I had a lovely little sleep in today.

Then we had another fat with tasty jam toast for our together breakfast. Ha.

I had a nice nap while Craig look for his very interesting stories.

Then Zita came home. She did not stay at her office all day today.

Because tomorrow Emmet goes back to his far away in Cork university. 

And maybe he might need to go places today. 

So now the black car can drive him and he will not be frozen all up. Ha.

But he only found an aeroplane that does not go anywhere right away. 

It goes to other places first. Oh dear.

So he has to go way way too early in the morning on the train. To Toronto. 

And then an aeroplane takes him to Montreal. And Montreal is nearly just here. Oh dear. 

That is not such a good aeroplane. Oh dear. 

And then he has to find even another aeroplane.

One that can find way far away Cork. From England. And not get all lost. Oh dear me. Too bad for him. 

And my friend Niamh was fast asleep until lunchtime.

Not in his own very comfy bed in his own bedroom. With me to mind him. Oh dear. I do not like that. 

We had cooked outside hamburgers for our altogether dinner tonight. Ha.

Then we went to fast asleep.

Because we have to get up way too early in the morning tomorrow. 

To take Emmet to the train station. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty One

It was a windy snow day. So there was snow everywhere when we went for our breakfast walk.

So after the black car took Zita to the rascal ladies office I minded Craig.

And we had a little sleep in. On our new very cosy warm Scotsman’s duvet. Ha.

Then we got up and had a very fat toast. With raspberry jam. 

We have lots and lots of of delicious jams in the refrigerator. Just for our good morning toasts.

Good for us.

Then Emmet was all awake too. 

But he is busy reading an old Irish book. And he has already read it before. 

I do not know why he is reading it again. Nobody told me.

And Niamh did not go to her nice university today. 

Because her class was not all ready.

And a nasty just sore all over everywhere cold caught her. So she has to go back to fast asleep. Ha.

All her friends at the beautiful clothes store got caught too. Oh dear. That is not so nice. 

Craig and I looked out my watching window for a while. At the sliding all over cars. Ha.

Sometimes there was so much windy snow we could not see my pond. 

We could only see my corner. That is not so nice. 

Then he had to find more interesting stories. So I had a nice nap.

We did not play catch the ball today. 

Because the go fast chair does not like the too much snow. Oh well.

We did not have porridge for our lunch today. Ha. That is good.

We had a lovely peanut butter and honey sandwich. It was a fat sandwich. That is a good sandwich.

Then I had a nice nap. In the kitchen. 

Until Emmet went for his walk. In the still windy snow. 

To his old university. 

To get his own special tea cup. With the bird on it. Just like his keep his head warm hat. Ha. 

And maybe visit his professors. Maybe.

My cousin Maddie is going to the make her beautiful store tomorrow. Ha.

My friend Mister Garry told me. He visited us this afternoon. 

To say Have a Happy Brand New Year. Ha. 

When Niamh was all awake she made cheesie macaronis. I got some macaronis too. Ha. 

Then Emmet came home. He did not get lost in the windy snow. That is good. 

But he did not find his tea cup. Oh dear. 

We had a nice altogether dinner. With lots of tasty Irish chicken. Ha.

Then Craig and Zita and I watched the nice detective from England until we were all too tired.

So we went to our comfy bed. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty

It was sleep in Sunday.

But Zita and I did not have a sleep in.

Because we went for a very very long walk. With Professor Jill and the little dog.

And we went all over everywhere. 

Professor Jill is very busy because our nice university starts again. Tomorrow. Oh dear.

When we got home Craig was nearly awake. And then Niamh was all dressed too.

So everybody had our breakfast toasts together. Except Emmet. He was still fast asleep. 

Emmet and Niamh went up to the busy street last night. To see a movie.

All about spaceships. And way way way far away places. Ha.

And they brought home popcorn. In a bag. 

Some fell on the floor. Ha. Popcorn is my favourite.

After our toasts Zita drove Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. 

The black go fast car is all better today. 

Because it is only just cold outside. Not sometimes all windy rain and then way too cold. 

Cars do not like that so much. Me either. 

Then Zita went shopping for brand new clothes for Craig’s mother.

Because her old clothes were too messy. Oh dear. 

Now she will have some brand new as clean as can be clothes. That is good.

Mister Tom came to visit me today. So he could have some tea and some biscuits. 

And to give Craig and Zita a new detective program. Ha.

Then my friend Emmet told him about the old old books. Ha. 

And showed Mister Tom a picture of all his not really letters. 

They are you have to guess letters. Those are silly letters. 

That is why you have to go to lots of far away universities so you can make your good guesses. It is known. 

Then Craig watched our own not very old hockey players team win the very important game. Ha. That is good. 

They were very happy. That is good.

Zita did not see the hockey game.

Because she went to her stretching store. In their brand new building. 

You can even get treats there now. 

Because it is all brand new now. 

I did not see the hockey either. I had a lovely nap instead. Ha. 

We are going to have Emmet’s favourite for shepherds dinner tonight.

Because in a little while Emmet has to find some aeroplanes to take him back to way far away Cork.

That is where his very old and not so very warm university is. 

So that is why he got keep you toasty warm socks from Mister Saint Santa. Ha. 

And a beautiful sweater with buttons too. Ha. 

Niamh’s brand new classes at her nice university start tomorrow. 

This one is an early in the morning class. Oh well. 

After dinner we will watch the from way far away detectives tonight. 

Maybe we will have popcorn. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Nineteen

Today is Craig’s Saturday old friends breakfast day.

So after Zita and I had our very nice walk Craig and Zita went out.

So I could mind Emmet and Niamh. Ha.

Craig went to his breakfast to see all his very nice friends and Zita went to her stretching store. 

My friend Niamh slept for a very long time. 

When she came home yesterday she had a little nap. 

But she did not wake up for our dinnertime.

Or to have delicious before bedtime snacks. She just was fast asleep. Until this morning. Ha.

I went downstairs to wake her up but Zita said I could not do that.

Because she did not get so much sleep in Toronto. With all her friends. Ha.

So I had to go back up stairs. Too bad for me.

When Craig and Zita came home it was snowing. Oh dear. 

And there was snow all over the slippy sidewalks. That is not so nice. 

But they did not fall down. 

Because Zita can just hold onto the go fast chair. Ha. That is a good chair.

Then Zita drove Niamh downtown in the black car. 

But it was a not so happy car today. 

Because it was too wet everywhere and now it is cold. Oh dear.

So sometimes it just stopped. Oh dear. That is what cars do if they are not very happy. 

Zita went to visit Craig’s mother at her little apartment. 

But it was too snowy to go for tasty treats.

And then all the noisy very big clean the snow off machines were on my street. 

I do not like those machines. So I bark at them. 

But they do not care. And I get into trouble. 

But not big trouble. Just go into the kitchen for a bit trouble. Oh well.

When Zita came home we went on our before dinner walk.

To find Professor Jill. And the little dog. We were very careful walkers.  

Because of the slippy sidewalks. 

Craig read Emmet’s very interesting story about the very very old book.

Because it is almost just all finished. 

So Craig read it to make sure it was beautiful. Then Zita read it too. 

Maybe we will have another altogether dinner tonight. 

Maybe with very delicious cooked outside hamburgers. Maybe. 

Outside cooked food is very very tasty. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighteen

It was a get up too early in the morning day today.

We got up in the very dark so Zita could drive Niamh to her beautiful clothes store.

When she came home we had a very nice very long walk.

It is not so cold and everywhere is melting all over again. 

So I was a bit of a soggy dog.

When Zita left and went downtown to her rascal ladies office I minded Craig.

We had a bit of a little sleep in. Ha.

But not a long one. Because of the tasty toasts.

So we had our together fat breakfast toast right away.

With tasty raspberry jam from way far away Ireland. That was a surprise. It was a secret present. 

Now we have lots of delicious jams from all over way far aways. In the refrigerator. 

They are just for our good morning toasts.  Ha.

Then Craig looked for some interesting stories for our nice Queen.

Because the Merry Christmas time is over. Oh well.

At our lunchtime Craig took away some our beautiful decorations. 

So Miss Tamina could make the house spic and span today.

She came after lunchtime. With her friend.

Miss Tamina was very busy at the Merry Christmas time.

That is why she did not come on her own day. 

She came today instead. 

Her friend knew I was a beautiful Bouvier dog right away. Ha.

But they used the very noisy machine. Oh dear.

So as soon as the big bedroom was all clean I just stayed on my comfy duvet. And had a nap.

Craig just hid in the den and Emmet stayed downstairs until the house was all clean as could be. Ha.

Emmet is still very busy with his very old book story. 

Now he has to tell everybody which other lots and lots of other old books he read. I do not know why.

When he came home our house last night. He had a Merry Christmas present. From his dragons game friends.

A giant dragons game cup. With his own name right on it. Ha. That is a good present.

And my friend Niamh was home last night too. From Toronto. 

So when I went to fast asleep my family was all home. In their comfy beds. Me too.

and Niamh came home tonight before our dinner.

But she had to have a right away nap. 

Because she was all awake too early this morning. Me too. 

And Emmet went out for a delicious dinner.

With the lady he met at the university in Wales. She was telling everybody her interesting story too.

And she lives here. Just over the big bridge. Ha. 

So we will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Oh well. 

We will watch the detectives tonight. After dinner. I might have a nice nap instead.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventeen

I got up nearly too early today. 

Because I took Zita for a very long good morning walk.

It is not so cold outside today. But now it is all messy. Oh dear.

Today the Merry Christmas time is nearly all over. 

So Zita and her black go fast car went back downtown to the rascal ladies office.

And Craig was all dressed before Zita even left our house.

So we did not have any nice sleepins today. Too bad for us.

Emmet is going to play the dragons game again today. 

He was going to take the smelly bus.

After lunchtime. All the way to his friend’s apartment.

But there was a very big accident and now the buses cannot get to his friends apartment. Oh dear.

So he had to come home to get a car to drive him instead. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

Niamh is going to be home tonight too. 

From not so far away Toronto. 

Because she has to go to her beautiful clothes store tomorrow.

But early in the morning tomorrow. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Craig and I had a very quiet day. 

Because Merry Christmas time is very tiring. 

So we are having a take it easy day today. Ha. Good for us.

Craig had Scotsman’s porridge for his lunchtime. 

I got a bit of bread. With peanut butter all over it. Ha. 

I did not have to have any porridge. Ha. 

That was a good lunchtime.

When Zita came home we went for a little walk. 

Even in the scary dark outside. 

When we got home we had our tasty together dinner.

Then we will watch the detectives. In the den.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixteen

It is the brand new year’s first day. Ha.

But we only had a very little sleep in. 

I do not know where the brand new year comes from. 

Maybe it is a secret present for everybody from Mister Saint Santa. Ha. 

Or maybe from Emmet’s friends the very very old Gods. Maybe. 

They must have a very very big room to make a year for everybody. And all the animals too. 

But where does the old year go. Maybe it goes on vacation. Maybe where my friends the ducks go.

Where there is not any too much snow. Ha. 

But nobody told me about it. Oh well. Too bad for us.

I got some very tasty steak last night. 

Because it was the last night of the year. 

But we had to stay up late so we could say happy brand new year to Emmet and Niamh. Oh well. 

And Emmet was even all awake early today. 

So he could go to Mister Mike’s and Miss Morgan’s apartment.

Because today it the all day dragons game day. Ha. With all their friends. 

So Zita drove him to find Mister Mike. At another Mister Kettleman’s bagel store. That is silly. 

And Niamh is still in Toronto. At Georgie’s apartment. With all their friends too. Ha.

They went to visit the Toronto zoo just for fish. 

It has lots and lots of very dangerous just eat you up sharks. Oh desr.

I do not know why they went. 

Because Niamh does not like fish so much. Oh dear me.

So today I only have to mind Craig and Zita. That is an easy job. 

Zita and I and Profesor Jill went on our good morning walk altogether today.

It is a very messy day outside today. I was a very soggy dog when we came back to my house.

But Craig was all wide awake so he and I stayed in the kitchen until I was all dry. 

Then Zita was home and we had our breakfast toasts. Together.

We looked out my watching window at everybody going to slide down the hill into the all empty pond.

We had a very quiet day today. That is good. 

I had a lovey nap after my lunchtime. Good for me. 

Then Zita cleaned up all the boxes from our Merry Christmas time. I helped her.

Now they are all ready for the giant garbage truck. That is good.

Then Zita and I went on a messy walk. 

It was our before dinnertime walk. A before it is dark walk. Ha. 

That is a very good time for a walk. 

Nothing can just jump out at you when it is not so dark outside. It is known.

We are going to to have just a Craig and Zita and me dinner tonight. Maybe we will have cheese. 

Tonight we will watch more of all the friends who are detectives. In way far away Poland. 

We watched them last time. Before we went to bed.
