Day Three Thousand and Sixty Six

I was very busy last night.

Because of our Sing Happy Birthday day party. Ha. Parties are my favourite.

Everybody had wine. In the special tall glasses. Ha. 

Except Craig. He does not like wine. 

I do not know why. Maybe it makes him have have a sick tummy. 

When I eat snow I get a sick tummy. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

And everybody hit everybody’s glasses. 

But they did not even break a little. That is good. 

And Lee and Cara came to visit us.

So we had Niamh’s all on fire cake. 

And everybody sang the Happy Birthday song. So I did too. 

Because it is my very favourite song. 

Then everybody had some of our two cakes. Right on the floor in the living room with me.

And they had the special from France wine. In the special for bubbles wine glasses. 

I minded everybody. That is my favourite job. 

Niamh got some brand new furry little boots. From way way far away Australia. 

They are special keep your feet toasty warm boots. Ha. That is a good present. 

Our friend Miss Tara talked to Emmet last night. 

And he could see her right on his computer in way far away.

And she could see Emmet too.

Right on her own computer in Toronto. Ha.

So she could be with him on his birthday. Even when he was in way far away Cork. 

That is because they were friends even when they were just little babies. 

It is good to have friends for a very long time. It is known

Because when you are very old you can always have your coffees together. In a nice park. Ha. 

We did not play catch the ball today. 

Because it is way too cold outside. 

Zita had to put very hot water into the birds outside drinking bowl. 

Because it was just all ice.

Then Zita and I got everything ready for the nice take your garbage away men. I was a very big help.

That is my favourite job. 

Zita and I took Professor Jill on our before dinnertime walk. It was very cold outside.

So we had to wear all our warm clothes. Even my not so warm coat.

And one of my boots had a hole on the bottom. Oh dear.

So I was very cold when we got home. Too bad for me.

This afternoon Craig and Zita wrote all our names in very beautiful Merry Christmas time cards. 

For the nice mailmen to take to all our friends. 

So she put all the cards in the special only for the Queen’s letters box. 

It was just down the other street. By the very big church. 

So now everybody will get Merry Christmas cards from me too. Ha. That is good.

We had a very delicious used dinner tonight. Used dinners are my favourite. Ha.

Maybe we can watch the messy detective again. That is a good program. 

Sometimes it is funny too. 

Day Three Thousand and Sixty Five

Today is Emmet and Niamh’s sing Happy Birthday Day. All day. 

And I nearly forgot it. Because I did not know. My goodness me. 

But last night Craig and Zita wrote happy birthday to Emmet. On their telephones. And I saw them. 

Because it was already his birthday in way far away Ireland. Oh dear. 

I do not think that this is all right. 

Everybody should be here with me on their Sing Happy Birthday day. 

So I can mind them and then I can sing their happy birthday song too. 

That is my very best song. 

But my friend Emmet will not be here. 

Because he is still in way far away Cork. Oh dear.

But a present man brought him some presents there. From us. Ha.

And our cousins sent him other presents from us too. 

It is good to have way far away lovely cousins when you are in way far away too. It is known.

I do not know why Emmet and Niamh have the very same day for their birthday. 

So do Lee and Cara. But they are twins. 

Emmet and Niamh are not twins. 

Because Emmet is much taller. Oh dear. Maybe it is a mystery. Or a secret. Maybe. 

When I got all awake there were Happy Birthday day signs on the walls. And a balloon too. That is good.

Zita is having a special Merry Christmas time lunch with all the other rascal ladies. 

But they are having it right on their computers. 

Just like Craig had their old friends breakfast coffees on their own computers. Oh well. 

And after our lunchtime we talked to Emmet. 

On Zita’s computer. 

Right in Cork. 

In his own bedroom.

In his little apartment.

He got the very little Merry Christmas tree we sent him. It is right in his bedroom. 

They have two more very big Christmas trees in the living room. 

Because his apartment friend’s parents sent them Merry Christmas trees too. 

So the have Merry Christmas trees everywhere.

Maybe Mister Saint Santa will leave even more secret presents for them. Ha. 

And when we were talking Mister Evan brought him two more happy birthday presents. 

All the way from Dublin. They were from us. 

And he brought a Sing Happy Birthday cake too. 

I think it was from my own friend cousin Orlaith. Ha. That was a delicious surprise.

And Emmet’s apartment friends made Emmet an all on fire cake too.

But it said Niamh on his birthday cake. Not Emmet. Ha. That is funny.

So Emmet and his apartment friends had Pizzas and two birthday cake for their dinner. Ha.

And they sang happy birthday to Niamh too. In way far away Cork in Ireland. Ha. That was nice.

Miss Tarryn came to our house at dinnertime.

So she could help make a delicious Sing Happy Birthday day cake. For my friend Niamh. 

That was a tasty good idea.

We are going to have a very special pizza for Niamh’s birthday dinner tonight. 

Because it is her Sing Happy Birthday day. 

Zita and I went for just a little walk before it was pizza dinner time. Ha.

And we had two all on fire cakes here too. One was a only made of ice cream cake. 

Ice cream is Niamh’s favourite food. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand and Sixty Four

It was sleep in Sunday so everybody had a sleep in. Ha.

Craig had a bigger sleep in than everybody else.

He always has long sleep ins. 

Because when we go to bed Zita and I go to fast asleep right away.  

But Craig has stay awake so he can watch the television.

So it can tell him what is going on all over everywhere. Oh well. Too bad for him.

When everybody was all awake Zita found Miss Tarryn at her house. 

Because Miss Tarryn and our go fast car are going all over everywhere for Zita. 

To bring little Merry Christmas presents to everybody at the rascal ladies office. Ha.

Craig and I had the very long cheesie bread for our breakfast.

And when Zita was back home I had toasts with Zita too. Ha. 

That was a very good breakfast morning.

And a new present man brought a very big box of secret presents for Niamh and Emmet.

But our Emmet is not even here. Oh dear me. 

Today our cousin Orlaith’s friend Mister Evan brought Emmet Merry Christmas secret presents from Dublin. Ha.

Mister Evan lives in Cork too. But he does not go to Emmet’s very old university.

Because now he is scientist. And his office is right in Cork. Ha. That is interesting.

There is a beautiful Merry Christmas tree in Zita’s parent’s house too.

It is full of lots of decorations too. That is good. 

Zita was very busy this afternoon. 

Because she was making some very special little Merry Christmas cakes. From Scotland.

They are Bonnie Dundee cakes. 

Just like the song Craig used to sing to Emmet and Niamh at nighttime. When they were little. 

It is not such a very good go to fast asleep song for little children. Oh well. 

The cakes are just for doctor Susan and Zita. But they are not for even nice dogs. 

Because they are just full up to the top with raisins. 

Dogs cannot eat raisins or they get way too sick and maybe just die. Oh dear me. 

That would not be so nice at Merry Christmas time.

This afternoon Mister Furrgus and I minded everything. Ha. 

He has a Scotsman’s giant sword. To stick right into nasty people. Or scary wolves. Ha. Too bad for them.

His brother Mister Festis and his uncle Colonel Dugal were still fast asleep. Ha. Too bad for them.

Before the special cakes got cooked in the oven Zita and I and Professor Jill went for a nice together walk. 

It is not warm anymore this afternoon. It is just windy cold. Oh well. 

So everybody had their toasty warm coats on. That was a good idea. 

But we were nearly frozen cold when we got home. Oh dear me. 

Then the special for Merry Christmas were all cooked. 

But nobody can eat them for a bit of a long time. Oh well. 

Niamh was very happy this afternoon. 

Because one of her very big stories got the very best letter it could ever get. Ha. That is good. 

But now she is studying for a remember everything exam. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

I did not like my exams so much. So I did not go to them so often. Ha. Too bad for them.

I only had to mind Craig and Zita tonight. 

Because Niamh went to Miss Anna’s little apartment for dinner. 

Then we had to watch the messy detective with the not very fast car. 

Before we could go to bed. Ha.

Day Three Thousand and Sixty Three

We did not have time for sleep ins today.

Because we were way too busy.

After Zita and I went for a little before breakfast walk, she talked to her parents. On the telephone. 

It is not so nice outside today. 

Because it is a freezie rain day. That is not very good weather. 

Because everything gets too slippy all over. And then you just fall right down on your bottom. 

You should not go for long walks in that kind of weather.

Or maybe you will not come home. 

You will still be slipping all over and not be able to stand up. Oh dear me.

Niamh did not get up so early today.

Because she did not get home so early last night. Ha. Too bad for her.

When Zita was talking to everybody in Dublin Craig and I had our toasts. Ha.

And Craig had two coffees. 

Then Zita found the noisy clean the floors machine. So I went outside for a nice little nap. 

I do not like that noisy machine.

Today is Craig’s old friends breakfast day. But it too cold for their outside picnics. 

So they had their together breakfast right on the big computer. 

And I could see everybody. All at the same time. Right on the big computer. Ha.

And everybody could see me too. I was right at their breakfast too. Good for me.

When their breakfast was all over it was lunchtime for me. 

And I got some chicken on top of my lunch so I will not be a grumbly tummy dog.

Then the go fast car car and Zita took Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. 

 So I had a nice nap on the big comfy bed. 

Craig was just in the den. Watching someone play football. 

Oh well. I did not want to watch a football game. That is why I had a nice nap. 

When Zita came home we went for a very little walk. Just down our other street.

We went to get some very warm boots. 

For some children who do not have any warm boots at all. That was a good idea.

My nice Doctor Waller told me a had to be careful when it is all slippy slidy outside.

Because I do not have so many do not slide all around toes anymore. Oh dear. 

I forgot about that. Oh well. Too bad for me.

I was very soggy when we got home. Oh well. 

But we did not fall down at all. Not even one time. Good for us.

My friend Emmet found some special things to stick in his computer to fix it. 

When he comes back home Mister Nabil’s fix your computer store will make it just like new. That is good.

We had the very tasty turkey pies for our dinner tonight. 

Niamh was still right downtown at her beautiful clothes store. 

It is not so very hard to just mind Craig and Zita. 

Then we will watch the messy detective again. 

That is a not scary at all program. That is good. 

Day Three Thousand and Sixty Two

We got up very early this morning.

Because my friend Niamh had to open up the beautiful clothes store today.

When Zita came home we went on a nice good morning walk. 

It was not cold this morning. But I was not so messy today. Ha.

Then I went to mind Craig on the comfy bed. And I went to fast asleep too. Right beside him. 

So we had a big sleep in. Ha. 

After Craig was all just awake he made the too many coffees.

Then we had the very delicious oatmeal cookies for our breakfast. Ha.

Then I went to help Zita but nice Mister Mohammad came with two packages. 

So I had to go see him. To make sure it was the real Mister Mohammad. Ha. 

One of the packages had secret presents. 

The other one just had more too much coffees. That was not so very interesting. Oh well. 

Then Craig an I had the very long made of delicious cheese bread for our lunch.

And he made them all toasty in the quick cooking machine.

Zita said that I should get more food in my bowl. 

Because I have a rumbling tummy at nighttime. 

So Craig is going to give me even more tasty food. 

But he said I was going to be a Rolly Poley Poppy. That was not so nice. Ha.

I bet Mister Saint Santa heard that. Too bad for Craig. Ha. 

Then another present man brought a basket of tasty treats from Craig’s sister in Toronto.

But we cannot eat anything just yet. Oh well. 

Then Craig got a big bag so he could make the house all neat and tidy. 

And I did not get in the way even one time. 

Because I am a very helpful dog. Zita told me that. So it is true. Ha.

So I had another nice nap right on my comfy kitchen rug

We had own made pizzas tonight. With chicken on top. 

Then Zita and I played our rope game. That is a very good game. 

And when we were all finished it was time for our detective program. So we all went into the den.

Then I could guard everybody. Ha. That is my very best job.

Day Three Thousand and Sixty One

Not even one person had a nice sleep in this morning. Oh well.

Zita and I went for a nice good morning walk. 

It was not cold outside today and the snow is melting again. 

So I was a bit  messy when we got home. 

Zita did not need so much help this morning.

So I just helped Craig eat his breakfast oatmeal cookies and then I had a nice long nap. 

On my comfy rug in the kitchen.

Now our outside Christmas tree is covered in beautiful lights. 

I saw them last night. Before I went to fast asleep on our big comfy bed. Ha.

The present man brought us a secret present from way far away Ireland.

I knew that right away. Ha. Good for me.

Because from Ireland presents are always covered up in brown paper and tied with strong string. It is their rule. 

And inside there were secret presents. 

And even some very lovely own made sweaters for babies. 

I think they are secret presents too. Ha. 

Niamh was still very busy this morning with her university stories. My goodness.

And this afternoon she had to go to the beautiful clothes store because tonight she has to lock the store all up. 

And my friend Emmet is very busy too.

Because his own computer has forgotten how to talk to anyone. So he is trying to fix it. Oh dear me.

They do not have even a bit of snow at his very old university. Even the leaves are still all green.

But they can have a Merry Christmas time even if they do not have any snow. That is good.

I had to be a very quiet dog this afternoon. 

Because Zita had an important on her computer meeting. 

So I stayed with Craig in the living room. And had a nice nap.

When the meeting was all over Zita and I went for a very short walk. Just to our other park.

Because it was not so very nice outside. And it was very dark too. Ha.

Then our friends Richard and Kathy came for a little far away visit. 

Their band new quiet as can be car brought them. Ha.

But we cannot have our extra Merry Christmas Day with all the Mahoneys this year.

Because of the rules. Oh dear. That is not so nice. 

When we came home we had a breakfast dinnertime. Ha.

And I only had to mind Craig and Zita tonight. 

Because Niamh was still at her until late work. Oh well.

We did not watch any detectives last night.

Because we had another together movie night. 

And we saw another movie with the two brave princesses and the brave reindeer who can talk. 

And there were giants too. Ha. That was a very good movie.

Day Three Thousand and Sixty

We got up early today.

So Zita could drive Niamh to downtown. They were nearly too late.

Because last night it was snowing all night. 

And when I looked out my watching window there was snow everywhere. 

Again. Oh dear.

So it takes a long time to go anywhere when there is everywhere snow. 

Because some cars forget how to drive in the snow and not just always get stuck. 

Or they just crash into everything. Oh dear me. 

But they were not late. Just nearly late.

I stayed here to mind Craig. We had a nice sleep in.

I was right beside Craig. At the top of the comfy bed. So he was toasty warm. That is an easy job. Ha.

Then we got up and had the round toasts for our breakfast.

But Craig could not make Zita her fluffy coffee this morning.

Because she was not here. Oh dear.

After she took Niamh to downtown she went to the giant grocery store to get lots of delicious food.

And then she went Merry Christmas Time shopping. Maybe for secret presents. Ha.

When she got home Craig and I helped her put lots and lots of food away. 

She found Craig’s favourite oatmeal Scotsmen’s cookies. Ha. That was a tasty surprise. 

Then she had to move the snow away from our side yard. 

This morning when I went outside I ate a lot of the brand new snow. 

And then I had a sick tummy. Oh dear me. But then I was ok. 

So then Zita had to go downtown to Niamh’s beautiful clothes store. 

Because it is Merry Christmas presents time. Ha.

So she had to move lots of snow away from the go fast car too before she could go. Oh dear me.

And when she came back home she was very busy. Moving even more snow all away. 

And then she put lots of beautiful lights on our outside Christmas tree. Ha.

And then she put on even more beautiful decorations. 

Shiny red Merry Christmas time balls. Right on our tree. 

Then we went on a little walk. In the lots of snow. Oh well.

When we got home Craig put his feet in the shakey water machine. 

So his feet would smell all beautiful. Just like Merry Christmas candies. Ha.

So I minded Niamh on the very comfy living room rug.

When she was writing even more of her another story for her university class. 

Then it was our dinnertime. 

We had pastas and as round as can be meat ball. That was a good dinner.

Because we always put very tasty cheese on top of our pastas. 

Sometimes there is some left for me too. Ha. Good for me.

Maybe we will watch another messy detective tonight. 

Day Three Thousand and Fifty Nine

In the middle of the night my tummy was so grumbly that it worke Zita all up. Oh dear.

So I had a before breakfast breakfast. Then we went back to fast asleep.

But we could not have a sleep in.

Because today Niamh’s little vacation was all over.

So she had to go to the beautiful clothes store early today. 

Zita and the go fast car took her.

When Zita got home I had another breakfast. Ha. Good for me.

Then Craig was all awake too. 

So he made Zita her favourite fluffy coffees and then we had our together breakfast.

We had the little very fat toasts. With honey today. Ha.

Then I went back to our office to help Zita. That is my favourite job.

At lunchtime Zita and another lady went for a long outside walk. It is a cold day today. 

But they went anyway. Oh well. Too bad for them.

Craig and I had a giant peanut butter and honey sandwich for our lunch. 

And then we listened to Merry Christmas music. Right in the living room beside Emmet The Tree.

When Zita came home I helped her all afternoon. 

But it was a bit of a quiet day today.

Because we were way too busy yesterday. 

 Zita had lots of important see you meetings on her computer. 

So I was a quiet as could be dog all afternoon. Good for me.

When Niamh got home she had a nice nap. Right after her squeaky clean shower. Ha.

Then Zita and I took Professor Jill on just a little bit of a walk. 

Because it was so cold everybody had cold as could be toes. And I do not have so many left. Oh dear.

When we came home and everybody was toasty warm we made a used food dinner. 

With brand new green beans too. 

Then we will watch our detective program. 

And I will have a comfy nap. Right beside everybody in our den. That is a good idea. 

Day Three Thousand and Fify Eight

We did not have a sleep in today.

Craig and I had a very very little one. 

But then he was wide awake and made Zita’s fluffy coffee. 

So then we had early toasts. 

Niamh was all awake before me. Oh dear.

Because she was writing another big story for her nice university. 

When I finished helping Craig with our breakfast I went into our rascal ladies office to be a big help.

And Craig read Niamh yesterday’s big story to make sure it was beautiful.

We were very very busy last night. 

Because we had our very own cheese party.  

So we could put all our beautiful decorations on Emmet The Tree. Ha.

We had to use a chair to put our very very old Scotsman’s Angel right on top. 

I was very busy minding the all full up with cheese table. 

That is a hard job when cheese is your very favourite treat.

And not so very much cheese fell on to our floor. 

Because all the Mahoneys were not here. Oh well. Too bad for me.

Then I had a very nice nap. 

And then everybody was a bit too tired so we went to our fast asleep beds. Me too. 

At lunchtime Zita and I went for our walk. It was a cold day today.

So Zita put on her brand new beautiful down to her feet warm as can be coat. 

And I had my not so very warm coat on. Oh well. 

All the outside water for our friends the little birds was frozen into just ice. 

And they cannot drink ice. Oh dear.

This afternoon Zita had to go to the downtown. For a long time. To the other rascal ladies office. 

So she could find some important papers. 

I stayed here to guard Mister Emmet The Tree. 

And Craig and Niamh too.

A man brought Niamh some Mister MacDonalds food. 

Because she was too very busy writing her next story so she could not make her own lunch. 

There were chips in the bag and some of them fell right on the living room rug. Right where I was. Ha.

And Craig had some too. But he does not share all the chips. Just some of them. That is not so nice. 

Then because I was all full up I went to our big comfy bed and had a lovely nap. Ha. Good for me.

When Zita came home I helped her make our very delicious dinner.

We had green beans. Ha. 

And pieces delicious meat with lots and lots of cheese inside. Cheese is my favourite. Ha. 

We did not have time to put the decorations on our outside tree today. Maybe tomorrow.

Day Three Thousand and Fifty Seven

It was our sleep in Sunday.

But only Craig and I had a nice sleep in. Craig had a longer sleep in than I did. Ha.,

Zita and Niamh were all awake early. 

So Zita put our beautiful Christmas tree lights on the living room rug so to see if they all still worked.

And they did. Ha 

Then they talked to Zita’s way far away in Dublin parents. On their telephones.

Because today is Zita’s father’s Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha. 

He had his very own all on fire cake too. Ha. 

Now he is nearly very old. Ha. Good for him. 

We were very busy last night. 

We brought our very giant Merry Christmas tree inside our house.

It was so giant Zita had to cut a bottom bit off. 

With a very big sharp saw. 

So it would fit in the house. Oh goodness me.

Then we put it in the living room. We had to move the very comfy chair and Mister Furrgus too. 

So there could be enough room for us. Oh dear me.

It is a very fat very tall Merry Christmas tree.

But someone chopped the very top off our tree all off. Oh dear me.

So we called our Merry Christmas tree Emmet. 

Because he wrote the very famous chopping off heads story. For the very very old in Dublin university.

So now we will have an Emmet at our Christmas time. That is just right. 

We will take a picture of it for him. 

So he can see Emmet The Tree too. Ha. Good for us.

This morning Niamh went with Lee and Cara to the busy street. 

So they could have a drink it outside coffee. 

But when they came back they looked in our front window. 

And they laughed at Emmet The Tree. 

Because he is just a little bit squished. Oh dear. That was not so nice. 

But Emmet The Tree and I did not care. 

I told my friend Craig and he was on our side. Ha. 

Because Emmet is our very beautiful best Merry Christmas tree ever. Ha. Too bad for Cara and Lee. 

Last night we watched a together movie. 

It was about some princesses and a reindeer who could talk. That was a good movie. 

After our lunchtime toasts Zita and Niamh took our another Christmas tree out to our front yard.

We put it in a very big box. So it would not fall over. 

Then Zita made it all fluffy.

Because tomorrow we are going to make it all full of beautiful decorations and it will our outside Christmas tree.

When Zita got back home from her run all around we went for our before dinnertime walk.

And we found Professor Jill too. Ha. But it was a cold outside day.

So everybody had to have their comfy warm clothes on. And gloves too.

I had to wear my comfy do not get all soggy coat. But it is not so very warm. 

Because it is from way far away Ireland. They do not have cosy warm coats there. 

Because they do not have way too cold outside days there. Only too much rain days. Oh well. 

When we came home I had my dinner and I did not even have to remind Craig. That was good. 

Than I had a nice nap because it was a very busy day.

We had a special together dinner tonight. A little just for us cheese party.

We put all the beautiful decorations on Emmet The Tree and ate our dinner at the same time. 

So we had a lots of cheeses and fat breads right on a little table in the living room. 

That is a good dinner.

Day Three Thousand and Fifty Six

We did not have a very nice sleep in this morning. Even Craig got up nearly early.

Zita was busy reading Niamh brand new story. So it will be as beautiful as can be.

I was her best minding dog when she was very busy reading 

So Craig made them their good morning too much coffees. 

Niamh was fast awake too and she made Scotsman’s porridge for her breakfast.

And she made some for Craig’s breakfast too. 

Because it was too cold for Craig to go to his old friends breakfast picnic. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

But we did not our together toasts this morning.

Because he had the porridge. And dogs do not like porridge very much. 

So I got a little cookie instead. Ha. 

Then Zita and I went for a before lunchtime walk. 

I was a very soggy dog when we got back home. But my towels were toasty warm.

So I was all dry nearly right away. Ha. 

Today my friend Niamh is very busy writing her next new story. 

But she was very happy because she found the very best book to help her write her story.

And she can read it right on her computer. Or even her own telephone. Ha. 

At lunchtime Zita took Professor Jill to do some important far away errands. 

But Zita had to drive Professor’s Jill’s nearly a truck.

Because Professor Jill does not like driving on big roads very much. 

Craig and I had very nice peanut butter and brand new honey sandwich for a nice lunchtime. 

Then I had a very nice nap in the kitchen.

Today is my very far away friend Miss Gracie’s Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha. 

She will get tasty treats. Nice dogs always get treats for their happy birthday day. It is a rule.

We had a cooked outside hamburgers for our together dinner. 

We are not going to watch detectives tonight.

Because we are going to have a together movie night. Ha. 

So I can mind everybody right in the den. On the comfy rug. 

Day Three Thousand and Fifty Five

Zita and Niamh and I did not have any sleep ins today.

Because we were way too busy.

Craig had a sleep in so he could listen to his book that tells him how to live a long time ago.

That is a silly book. He cannot live a long time ago. 

Because he already lived a long time ago. Too bad for him. 

I did not have our together breakfast with Craig this morning.

Because I was way too busy being Zita’s best assistant. Ha.

At lunchtime today Craig and I had a lunchtime breakfast. 

We had the special fat toasts from France. And the very delicious jam from France too. 

That was a tasty lunchtime. A from France lunchtime. 

Then I watched out the window at the windy rainy day. 

Now we nearly do not have any more snow. Ha.

Mister Paul is not in way far away England. Now he is back in his own apartment.

But he has to stay there all by himself. Because of the do not get sick rules. 

Zita said she could bring him lots of food so he will not just starve all away. That is nice. 

Niamh’s first new story is nearly all done. 

So she can start another one today. Oh dear. Too many new stories for her nice university. Oh dear. 

Last night my friend Emmet played his dragons game with all his over here friends. 

Soon his far away university will be all closed up for Merry Christmas time. 

But he has to stay there. With his apartment friends. Because of the rules. 

We sent him secret presents. 

And Craig told me that Mister Saint Santa will bring his presents even to way far away Ireland. 

Because he knows where everybody is all the time. Just like Craig’s telephone. Ha. 

Maybe Mister Saint Santa has the very same telephone. Ha. That is a good idea.

I was very busy all afternoon being Zita’s best assistant. 

So I stayed in our office until it was time for our before dinnertime walk. We had a very busy day.

We found Professor Jill on our walk. So she came with us. Ha. That was nice.

But when I got back home I was a soggy cold dog. 

So Craig and I had two cookies. Ha. Cookies always make you feel better. 

We had fluffy eggs and the very tasty bacon for our dinner tonight.

But Niamh has her dinner downstairs in her little office. 

So she could keep writing her next  important story. Oh goodness me. 

Day Three Thousand and Fifty Four

We were very busy in our rascal ladies office today. 

I only had time for a very little bit of croissant before I had to go back to be Zita’s helper.

And Niamh is very busy too. 

She has to write two brand new stories for her nice university. Oh dear.

Today is the day for everybody with go fast chairs. Ha. We have three of them. 

But one downstairs is not so comfy anymore. So Craig does not use it. Oh dear.

It is an all the time cloudy day outside today. 

But it is not so cold so the snow is melting again. That is silly weather.

Our two giant Merry Christmas trees are in my side yard so I can guard them. Ha.

We are going to to put the not so giant tree in our house. And put our very beautiful decorations on it. 

So Mister Saint Santa will know where to put all our lovely secret presents.

At lunchtime I had a meeting with Niamh’s friends. 

They could see me right on her telephone. And I talked to them too. Ha.

It is alright for me to bark when it is my own meeting. Ha.

Niamh made own made chips for our afternoon delicious treats. Ha. That was a good idea.

I had some too. Right in our living room. Ha. That was a nice treat.

The present man brought us secret presents today. But they were not for us. 

We are going send them to friends. Craig will wrap them all up.

Because that is his special just for Merry Christmas job. Ha. 

We are having a very especially delicious pizza from a brand new pizza store.

But we cannot tell Mister Tony because he might be sad. Oh dear. 

So it is a secret. I am a very good secret keeper. It is known.

We will have to find a brand new detective program for tonight’s relaxing detective time. 

Maybe this time they will have a big brave dog to help them. 

That would be a good program. 

Day Three Thousand and Fifty Three

We did not get up too early today because it is our do not go to work Wednesday. Ha.

When we looked out our watching window there was snow all over everywhere again.

But not so much today. Just on the trees. Ha.

When Zita and Niamh took Miss Tarryn back to her own house Craig and I had all toasty warm cinnamon buns for our breakfast. Ha. 

Then Craig had to read his book so I looked out my watching windows. 

Then I had a nap. 

And Zita looked at the big computer for a long time.

Niamh went for a nice not so close walk with Miss Zoë. She is not at her way far away university now. 

Because of the rules. 

So she is just living in her house just up my other street. Ha. 

Then auntie Eileen called Zita on her own telephone. Just to talk. 

Maybe about secret presents for way far away Ireland. Maybe.

Niamh says there is only a little bit more to do to finish making me beautiful. Oh well.

So she cut my too long bangs.

So now I can see out my watching window much better. Ha. 

Craig says that I am beautiful already. 

But Niamh says she is not the very best make you beautiful helper. Oh well. 

She said that I will be even more beautiful next time. Ha. That is good. 

Zita went to my little hospital to get a giant bag of my own special tasty food. That was a good idea.

So now I will have just be hungry all the time. Ha. 

Another very nice man came today to talk about how to make a lovely bathroom for our bedroom. Ha.

Then it was time for our dinner. Dinnertimes are my favourite. 

Day Three Thousand and Fifty Two

We did not have any sleep ins at all today. Ha.

And today is a vacation day for Zita and me. So we did not go to our rascal ladies work. Ha.

We had a good morning walk instead. I got very soggy. 

Because it is another windy rain day today.

But all our too much snow is nearly all gone. 

When I was a dry as a chip we had our together breakfast with toasts and lots of jam. 

Then before we were all finished Niamh came upstairs. And she was all awake too. Ha.

Because of the rules I cannot go to the make me beautiful store. And now I am way too furry.

So this morning Zita and Niamh found lots and lots of all tangled up knots on me.

But we have very special just for me scissors and they cut them all off. Ha. That is good.

It is not so nice to have all full of knots fur.

Yesterday in one of the boxes the present man brought us was a make me all tidy machine. 

So Niamh and Zita used it to make me as beautiful as can be for our Merry Christmas time.

I had to go into our bathroom to make me beautiful. Oh dear me. 

But I was very very brave. So I got lots of green bean treats. 

It was a very big job. So I had to have some rests. 

Niamh too. Good for us.

When I had my next rest the go fast car took Zita and Niamh to Mister IKEA’s store.

To get our Merry Christmas trees. We always get our Merry Christmas trees from him.

But this year we got two trees. One for our own front yard. 

Because we do not have so many beautiful trees this year. 

Because of the nasty way too much wind storm. Too bad for us.

We got a giant tree. It is too big for our own house.vint will be our outside Merry Christmas tree. 

When Zita and Niamh came home Miss Tarryn was with them. Ha.

So she helped Niamh to make me all beautiful too.

I was very brave again. And I got some tasty peas for my treat.

When we were all finished Zita had to use the noisy floor cleaning machine.

To take away all my way too much fur. Oh dear me. 

But now I am all as beautiful as can be again. That is good.

We even got some just for nice dogs shampoo. So I had to have a real bath. All over. 

So I will just smell all beautiful too. Oh dear. 

We had to use all the towels in the world to make me as dry as can be. Ha. 

We had an altogether dinner tonight. With Miss Tarryn too. 

We had the especially delicious own made full of onions soup and toast and cheese on top. 

I got some of the cheese. Ha. 

This morning Mister George sent Craig a letter. On his computer. 

So he would not worry that George and Miss Suze did not have any too much coffees at their big farm.

Because there is a very delicious too much coffee store not so far away from their farm. That is good. 

Last night we found a new detective program. 

It is all about a lady detective in way way far away Australia.
