Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty One

We had a little quiet day today.

Because it was way way too cold for nice walks. 


Even if we had our very warm as could be clothes on. 

So we did not go for a good morning to everybody walk.

And so I stayed inside and minded Zita when she talked to her mother and father in far away Dublin. 

It is not so very cold in Dublin. It was just fat socks cold. Ha.

Craig had a nice sleep in before he had his old friends coffee meeting. 

Zita brought him a round toast when he was talking to everybody so I saw everybody too. 

Zita and the go fast car took Niamh to her lovely store. That was a good idea.

After Craig had his next another coffee he and Zita turned the go faster chair upside down. 

But Craig was not in it. 

He was in the just fast chair. Oh my goodness me.

And they took a wheel right off. And put it on the floor.

So they could fix the brakes. 

Because it sometimes it was a slide away chair. Oh dear. That is not so safe.

So they fixed it. All by themselves. 

I was a very big help. I did not get in the way even one time. Ha. 

And when they put the wheel back on it was the go faster chair again. 

Then Zita and Professor Jill went for walk in the too cold.



I told them not too. And I barked a lot at the way too cold. But it did not go away. 

And they went anyway. Too bad for them. 

I stayed here in my house so I could mind Craig. And be comfy warm. Ha. 

And when Zita came back home she said the she was frozen. 

And maybe the new tasty vegetables were frozen too. Oh dear me.

But before dinnertime Zita went find Niamh and Tarryn at the lovely store. 

And bring them back to our house. So they were not all frozen up. 

And  when they got home it was our dinnertime. That was good. 

So we made own made pizzas for everybody. Me too. That was a good idea. 

And we had a bit of the very delicious own made dessert that Niamh and Tarryn made for their tomorrow party.

I did not have any because it was a not for dogs chocolate dessert. Oh well. 

Then it was time to watch our detective program. 

And for me to have a nice nap in the den with Craig and Zita too.

Friday, 14 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty

Zita and I were very busy today. 

When we got up it was way too cold for a good morning walk. 

I got a cold nose when I looked out my watching window. My goodness me.

So we had our breakfast and went to our rascal ladies office. 

Because we had lots of meetings just about money numbers. 

That was not so interesting so I had a nice nap.

Until Craig was all awake. 

Then I had to wake up so I could help him eat our tasty round full of holes toasts. Ha.

When Niamh was upstairs to get her too much coffee for her new class I kept her company until she went downstairs.

She was very busy today because she had two brand new classes today. 

After that I went back to help Zita. 

At lunchtime Zita went for a very little walk. In the way too cold. 



Just around our own street. 

But I did not go. I did not want to have frozen up cold feet. 

So I stayed in my warm kitchen and had a nap.

When Zita came home her nose nearly fell off. Oh my goodness me. 

Today a nice lady gave me a big book. All about dogs. 



And it was full of pictures of dogs. Even lovely Bouvier dogs too. 

Maybe they are my far away cousins. Maybe. 

That is the very best kind of book. 

And she brought it to my house. Ha.

And Craig gave another lady some for televisions wires. Because we had way too many.

We have big boxes just all full of wires. We still have too many. I do not know why. Oh well. 

This afternoon I stayed in the living room and had my afternoon nap right beside the go fast chair.



So I could guard my friend Craig company when he was reading his book. That is my favourite easy job. 

Our radio said that the very near my house empty canal is all ready for people to go skate sliding. 



But I think it is way too cold. Only very silly people will do that today. Ha. 

Maybe they will be frozen all up. Just like the ice. Ha. Too bad for them. 

I went outside to make sure everything was all right. It is my job.

Even in the very cold. 

But I only stayed out for a little while. Just until my flappy ears were too cold. 



Then Craig opened the door also I could get toasty warm again. 

When everyone’s work was all finished the black car took Zita and Niamh to the just used for university books store.



To get some books for Niamh’s very interesting classes.

It is not far away. It is very near Niamh’s nice university. 

Then they went to the grocery store so we would not starve at dinnertime. 

So they were not away so long. That was good. 

When they came home it was nearly time to make our together dinner.

So I helped too. That is a good job.

Lots of times I get some special treats. For being such a big help. Ha. Good for me. 

We had own made bagel sandwiches. I got some too.

After dinnertime Niamh and Tarryn made a very special delicious dessert. 

For a Sunday morning party with their friends. 

We watched a brand new detective program tonight.

Then Zita took Tarryn home.

Because of the way too cold. My goodness me. 








Thursday, 13 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Nine

We had a bit of a nice sleep in today.

I even forgot to be all awake up when Zita started to work in our office. Oh dear me. 

Later when Craig was all dressed and awake we had those full of holes round toasts. With more jam. Ha.

And the when Niamh was all finished her long early in the morning class I helped her with her breakfast too.

At lunchtime Zita went for an empty your head walk. 

It was not so very cold today. So there were lots of other people outside too.



After lunchtime Mister Kirian came to move lots and lots of our too much snow away. 

I did not bark at him at all. Ha. 

Because I remembered him right away. Good for me. 

And when he was all finished shovelling he came in to talk to me. 

And he had a brand new coffee with Craig. 

Niamh had another on her computer class this afternoon. 

And Zita had another on her computer meeting. 

So I had a nice quiet nap. Right on my comfy in the kitchen rug. 

Craig made brand new wires for my friend Niamh. 

So she can have nice speakers.



For the very old music machine in her bedroom. 

That was a good idea.

Then Zita had an idea. To go for a before dinnertime walk.

I did not think it was such a very good idea. Because it was very very dark outside. 

And that is when the dangerous wolves and maybe a moose hide in the bushes.

So you have to walk quickly so they do not even see you a bit. Ha. 

We should only go for our walks when it is lovely and bright outside. That is my good idea. 

When we got home we were just fine. We did not even see one moose.

So we had a very nice long walk.

And when we got home Niamh had a squeaky clean shower and I helped Zita with our very delicious used lasagna. Ha.

Then Craig had to find a brand new detective program for us to watch after our dinner. 

Wednesday, 12 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Eight

It was another get up early day today.

But I did not get up very early with Zita.

I got up early with Craig. Ha. 

It was an early day today.

Because today is the day the nurse comes to give Craig a brand new bandage.

And it is Niamh’s go to the lovely store day too.

So it was a no sleep ins day for everybody. Oh well.

Zita and the go fast car drove Niamh to her work. 

Because it was another even more snow day today. And it was very slippy everywhere.

After the nurse had gone Craig and I had a very very fat piece of toast. 

With some of the very delicious raspberries jam on top. That was a good breakfast. 

Then the mailman brought us a present. It was from way far away Ireland.

I knew it was from Ireland because it was all tied up with the special string. 



You have to tie all your packages all tight as can be with strong string in Ireland. It is their own rule. 

So I guarded it until Zita came back home. That is a good job for me. 

When Zita got home I helped her open the package. 



And inside was a Merry Christmas present. From Zita’s own mother and father. 



It was a nearly lost forever Merry Christmas present. Oh my goodness me.

Maybe it was on one of Emmet’s Russian trains that always just fell over and crashed. 

Or maybe it was on a get all lost all the time aeroplane. Oh my goodness me.

But we did not open it.

Because it was presents for everyone package. 

So we had to wait until Niamh was back home.

So we could open it together. 

And then a present man brought my giant box to just for me food. So I will not starve all away. Ha.

And then another present man brought a box with a brand new book for Niamh to read. For her new university classes. 

I had a very busy afternoon guarding my house.

After lunchtime Craig went to a new make him neat and tidy store.

And it was right in our bathroom. Ha. 

So then Zita cut his hair and now he is not as furry as I am. Ha. 

Then it was time for Zita and I to find professor Jill. 

And take her with us on our walk. That was a good idea. 

It was not so very very cold outside today. 



It was just very cold. Ha.

When I got back home Zita and professor Jill went for a longer walk.

Because they were not as cold as I was. 

When Zita was back home I helped her get everything ready for our dinnertime.

Because before dinnertime she went and got Niamh at her lovely store.

And then drove Niamh to her special when you bump your head doctor at the nice university. Oh my goodness me. 

And when they got back home to our house it was our own dinnertime.

And because we had a brand new Merry Christmas present today we had a Merry Christmas dinner too.

With our very delicious ham and flat potatoes in a dish. 

That is Niamh’s favourite Christmas dinner. So we had it today too. 

And we opened our Christmas presents too. 

But not Emmet’s because he went back to Ireland. Too bad for Emmet.

Everybody got beautiful presents and Craig got a giant chocolate bar. Ha. 

After dinnertime we watched that lady detective story writer again. 

But she was in way way far away Egypt. That is silly. Oh well. 

















Tuesday, 11 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Seven

It was a back to work day today.

So we did not have another nice sleep in.

And it was too too cold for a good morning walk. 

When I looked out my windows there was ice. On the inside. Oh my goodness me. 



Niamh could not have a sleep in either.

Because she had a very early in the morning class. 

Her nice university started today. I did not know that.

But she could not go to the university because of the do not get sick rules. 

So she went to her class right on her computer in her comfy bedroom. 

When Zita was talking to all the rascal ladies I got up on the big bed and kept Craig toasty warm. 

Then when he was all awake we had our together breakfast. 



We had some very very little muffins. 

Then when Craig had his another coffee we had toasts with brand new honey on top. Ha. 

Before lunchtime Zita and the black car went to our busy street so she could visit our nice dentist. 

And so the go fast car could have a relax in the lovely warm garage. 

Because it was still way too cold outside. 


When Zita got home she was not even a bit cold.

Because the go fast car was then as warm as could be. That was a good idea.

But when Niamh was all finished her classes she went outside.

So she could walk to Tarryn’s apartment. In the too cold. That was silly. Oh well. Too bad for her toes. 

Then our friend Kathy came to visit us in the no noise car. 



To find our old in the basement table. 

Because her mother’s little apartment did not have even a little dining room table. Oh dear. 

So now she has ours. That was a good idea. 

Before dinnertime Zita and the go fast car went and bought Niamh home. 

So she would not be all frozen up. Ha.

We had spaghettis with our own made sauce and meat too. 

But Niamh was very tired so she went right to her comfy bed.

And Craig and Zita and I watched a detective program about a lady who writes detective books. Ha.

Then we were all tired and went to our comfy beds.  




Monday, 10 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Six

Zita and I did not go to work today.

Because we were too tired out.

So we went for a very long walk all over. And we even went to our little empty lake. 

And it was very very cold. 

But we went anyway.

So we could visit our very favourite beautiful tree. 



We had our warmest clothes on so we did not freeze to death. That was good.

My friend Emmet got all the way to way far away Ireland. His aeroplane did not get lost.

But it nearly left without him. 

Because the first aeroplane was too slow. My goodness me. 

But now he is in his very little apartment in Cork. 

The it takes a long time bus took him there. Ha.

But now Emmet there. 

So now he can have a nice long sleep in. And have some tea too. 

Craig and Niamh had long sleep ins today. 

I tried to get Craig all fast awake lots of time.

So we could have our toasts and look out my watching window. 

But he was way too fast asleep. Too bad for me.

So I helped Zita take off all our beautiful decorations of the Merry Christmas tree instead. 

And we put them all away. Until next Merry Christmas time. 

Because our Merry Christmas time is over. Too bad for us. 

And now the living room is almost empty. Oh goodness me.



And then Zita took our lovely Christmas tree outside and put it in the snow. 

So the little birds could hide inside it from the too much snow. 


That was a very good idea.

We saw the red as could be bird in my side yard this morning. Ha.



When Niamh was all awake she went outside for a walk and to meet Tarryn. 

They got some of their own coffees at the little store.

And then they came back here to find some brand new interesting courses for their nice university. Right at the dining room table. 

So I had to mind them too.

When Craig was fast awake we had little little muffins for our together breakfast. 

And then Craig found some pumpkins for my lunch. That was a good idea.

At lunchtime Zita went for an all around walk in the very cold. 

But she wore her very warm long to her knees coat. 

I did not go. I stayed right here so I could mind Craig.



Because I already went for a long walk this morning and now I was just all warm again. 

This afternoon Mister Kirian came to find his secret Merry Christmas T-shirt that he forgot to take home.

That was a nice little visit. 

Then I had my lovely afternoon nap before I helped Zita make our dinner. 

Tonight we are having our very favourite Zita’s own made lasagna. 

Our lasagna has lots and lots of tasty cheese inside. That is why it is our favourite.

When we finished our dinner everybody was talking so Craig helped me look out our watching window. Ha.

After dinnertime maybe we will watch more of the old churchman who has his own church. And he is a detective too. 

It is not even a bit scary or loud. So I can have nice naps and not have to wake up.

That is a good program. 





Sunday, 9 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Five

We had a little sleep in today.

Because it was sleep in Sunday. 

Then when everybody was very fast asleep Zita and I went for a nice walk. All by ourselves. 

All the way to our all empty little lake.

Because it was only cold today not very cold. 

But we wore our warm as can be clothes anyway. 

When we got home Craig was all awake and got up so we could have our together toasts and coffees. 

 And when we looked out my watching window it was snowing. 



But it was just the big fat snow. Ha.

Then Emmet was all awake too. 

Because today he has to go to our aeroport to find his do not get lost aeroplane.

The one that knows how to find way far away Ireland all by itself. Ha. 

When Niamh was all awake Craig put the big fat tire on the go faster chair. 

But I did not like it so much. Because it is so big I thought I would get squished. 

So I stayed far away from it. 

But it was only on for a little while.



Because we have to try it outside when it is not so snowy.

Then Zita had to move lots of the snow away from my side yard and our sidewalk.

So everything will not get all lost in the lots of snow. 

Our friend Mister Tom brought us some new detective programs for us to watch. That was nice.

I did not even bark at him. Ha. Good for me. 

Then just like that it was time for the go fast car to take my friend Emmet away. 

To our nice aeroport. Oh dear me.





So we went into the living room and waved and waved and waved until I could not see the go fast car at all. Oh dear me.

I am always a bit very sad whenever my family goes to somewhere that is not here. Oh dear me. 

Because when they are not here how can I mind them. 



And that is always my own very best job. Oh dear me. 

When Zita came home she and Niamh went to find Tarryn and do some errands too. 

I stayed here to mind Craig and have my afternoon nap. 

Saying bye bye always makes me sad so a little nap is a nice help. 

We had a very nice together diner and then Craig and zita and I watched Mister Tom’s new detective program.

And when I woke up it was our bedtime. Ha. That is a good time. 


Saturday, 8 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Four

I got up early this morning because Zita wanted to drive Emmet to the drugstore. 

To get his Emmet was not even a bit sick test. 

We even started the go fast car up for a long time. So it would be toasty warm inside.

Because it is way too cold today to go walking all over anywhere. 

Tomorrow some aeroplanes are taking my friend Emmet back to his old university in Ireland. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

I only had a very little sleep in with Craig this morning.

Because he had to get up to visit his old friends for their on Saturday coffees. 

Zita made us some toasts so I saw everybody right on the flat computer. 

And everybody said good morning Miss Poppy to me. 

Because they all know me too. Ha.

But then I heard that my very far away friend Miss Gracie had to go all the way to heaven. Oh my goodness me.

I was very very sad to hear that. 



Maybe her old very best friend Mister Elliot was a bit too lonely in far away heaven without her. Oh dear.

Miss Gracie was a very lovely Bouvier just like me. 

But she was even older than me. My goodness me. 

But now Miss Kelley and Mister Andy are very sad. That is not so nice. 

But they still have two very lovely dogs to mind them, Mister Barnaby and Miss Maisie.

And Miss Maisie is a lovely Bouvier lady too. That is good.

I do not like it when people are sad. 

Because sometimes I cannot make it all right again. 

Even when I try very very hard and even have nice naps right on them. Oh my goodness me. That is not so good. 

Then Zita talked to her family in far away Dublin. 

And then she talked to Auntie Eileen too. She was in her way too small a bridge town.

Craig says there are lots of only for horses bridges in far away Ireland.

But cars use them anyway. Oh dear me. 

Niamh did not go to work today. Because of her bumped head. 

But she was feeling much better. That is good. 

And her university said that Niamh got the very best numbers for her before Christmas classes. Ha. That was nice.

But now she has to find new but only very interesting classes for when her nice university starts again. 

So I stayed with her. In case she needed my very good ideas. That is my best job.

We did not go for our lunchtime walk today.

Because it was still too cold and I would have too cold feet. 



Even with my toasty warm boots on. Oh dear. 

After talking to Auntie Eileen Zita remembered it was the make our house spic and span day. Oh dear.

And she found the very noisy clean the floor machine right away. Oh dear.

So I went into the den to guard my friend Craig from that noisy machine. Good for me. 



When we are together that machine is not so very scary. It is known. Good for us. 

But then I had to go right into the living. Where the noisy machine was.

Because Niamh was there. All by herself. Looking at university courses. Oh my goodness me.

So I went to guard her right away. Guarding my family is my very best job. Ha. 

Then Zita and I went for a before it got way way too cold again walk. 

But we still had to get our very warmest clothes on. Even my warm boots and Zita no fingers gloves. Oh dear me. 

So we went for a nice not way too long walk. So we did not turn into icicles. Good for us. 

We had a very delicious special dinner tonight.

Because tonight is Emmet’s last altogether dinner with us. 

Until he comes back again. Oh my goodness me. That is not so nice. 

So we had our very favourite for the shepherds pie. And peas too. Ha. 

I always some tasty get peas too. 

And then everybody stayed at the dining room table and told stories until it was past my bedtime.

So then we went to fast asleep. In our own comfy beds. 



Friday, 7 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Three

I only had a little sleep in right beside Craig today.

Because he got up early too. 

Before Emmet and Niamh. Ha. 

So Craig and I had two fat toasts for our together breakfast. With jam too. 

And then we looked out the window.

It was a very cold day outside today. Too cold for nice long walks. Oh well.



So Craig and I just looked out the watching window.

Then Mister Luc brought the go faster chair back. 

And he brought a giant new front wheel for it. 



But we do not know if it will make the faster chair not fall over tippy.

Craig and Zita and I will have to try it. When it is not so cold.

Because it is a for only outside wheel. Just like my only outside giant ball. 

When Emmet came upstairs he had a tired voice. 

Because he talked and talked and talked for so long last night. 



Answering questions all about those in Ireland Vikings. Oh my.

Lots and lots of people saw Emmet and Mister Adam right on their own computers. Ha. 

Just like the television. 

And my friend Niamh is feeling a little bit better today. That is good. 

After my lunchtime Zita went up to the busy street. To give our nice bank rascal ladies money. 

And she did not even ask the black go fast car to take her there. 

She just walked there by herself. And back home too. Even in the cold. Oh my goodness me. 



I did not go to the bank today because it was my afternoon nap time. 

And because I am now a lovely old lady I can have a nap whenever I want. It is our rule. Ha.Ha. 

Emmet is having a bit of a relax today. 

And getting all his stuff ready to go back to his university and his very little apartment. Oh dear.

But the very nice man got Emmet aeroplanes that will not get lost going to way far away Ireland. That is good.

We had a nice quiet altogether dinnertime tonight. And we had green beans. 

Green beans are my favourite and I got lots of them.  

Even before I helped Zita make dinner. 

It was everybody’s very favourite Irish chicken. Ha. Good for me. 

Then everybody talked for a long time. And so I had a nice extra nap. 

We had to find a brand new detective program.

Because we watched all of the other one. 

And we did not know who did it until the end. Oh my goodness me. 

Thursday, 6 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Two

Zita and I got up early this morning.

Because it was a go to work day.

But after our breakfast I went back into our bedroom and went fast fast asleep.

But then Craig got up and it was very early too.

So I just stayed there and I had a very nice by myself sleep in. Ha.

But then I heard Craig making the toasts so I had to get up to help him. Ha. That is a easy job.

After Craig was all finished his next another coffee I went into our brand new more room for us rascal ladies office. 



So I could be Zita’s best helper.

Emmet and Niamh had sleep ins this morning. 

Sleep ins are very nice on not so nice outside days. It is known. 

We did not go for a before lunchtime walk.

Because there was lots of very very little blowing snow.



It was not the nice fat soft snow. It was the hard hurts your eyes snow. 

So Craig and I just watched it blow around. From inside our warm house. Ha.

But Zita and Emmet went for their own by themselves walks. I do not know why.

Craig and I did not go. Ha. Good for us. 

When Craig was making his peanut butter and cheese sandwich a very big piece of cheese fell right down in front of me.

I think it was my Merry Christmas present from my friend Mister Saint Newton. Ha. Good for us. 

When Zita came home she said it was only a bit nasty outside so we went for our afternoon walk. 

But I had to get all dressed up with my keep my back toes warm boots and my very red toasty warm coat.



So we could go for a very long walk and not just be all frozen up like giant ice cubes. Ha. 

We went all the way to our all empty lake. 

When we got home I had to stay in the kitchen until Craig made the used pizzas toasty. Ha. That was a good idea.



Niamh had some too. I got the crunchy pizza bits. 

Then it was time for my afternoon nap. 

It is good to have a nice nap when you are all full up with pizzas.

Zita did not need so much of my help this afternoon.

So I had my nap on my very comfy bedroom duvet. Right on top of Craig’s dirty shirts. 

Those shirts are very comfy pillows. It is known. 

Zita had to go to the other rascal ladies office this afternoon before dinnertime. To find important papers.

Tonight we had an all the used food in the refrigerator dinnertime.

But it was only Craig and Zita and Niamh and me at dinner.

Because Emmet was on computer televisions. 

With his friend who writes his interesting stories all about scary Vikings. Oh dear.

They were talking all about Vikings in long time ago Ireland. 

I did not know that Ireland had their very own Vikings. Oh well. 

But now everybody can ask Viking questions and Emmet and his friend Mister Adam can answer them. 

Right on everybody’s own computer. Ha. 

But my friend Niamh still has to be a bit quiet.

So she is just listening to stories on her telephone on her very comfy bed. 

So after dinner Craig and Zita and I watched our own detective program. 

Before we had to go to bed. 











Wednesday, 5 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty One

We were very busy today.

My friend Niamh slipped and bumped her head on the floor. In her own bedroom. Oh my goodness me.

So she had to lie down and be as quiet as could be for a while. 

So next week she is going to see the nice Doctor at her university. 

She is Niamh’s when you bump your head doctor. 

Because a long time ago Niamh bumped her head at her old university. And she had to go to a hospital.

And Zita went to far away Halifax and brought her home.

So I could mind her too. That was a good idea. 

Then the man came and got the go faster chair. So it can have a giant in front wheel. Oh my goodness me.

Then nice nurse Jesse came to fix Craig’s bandages. I did not even bark.

That was good.

Because I cannot bark so much today. 

Because my friend Niamh had to have a very quiet all day relax. 

And you cannot have a nice relax if I am a too much barking dog. Oh goodness gracious me.

So I tried to be very very quiet. 

And a professor from way way far away Australia asked Emmet to be at an important meeting.

So he could tell everybody his new story all about the scary Druids and the dragons game. 

But he does not have to go all the way there. Because it is very very far away. 

So he will talk to everybody on his computer. 

It is not so cold outside again today. 



But everywhere it is very wet and messy. That is not so very nice. 

When Niamh came upstairs I brought her my big black toy. 

So we could share it. Ha. Good for me.

Mister Tony made us delicious pizzas for our together dinner.

Because everybody was way too tired to cook anything very tasty. 

And his friend brought them to our house in his own car. Ha. That was nice. 

So we gave him some real money. And told him to have a careful drive. 

When we were all finished I got some crunchy bits. 

Then Emmet and Niamh went downstairs and Craig and Zita and I watched our detective program. 

Until it was time to go to bed. 






Tuesday, 4 January 2022

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty

It was back to work for us today. 

So Zita and I got up early and had our breakfast before went went to our all tidy rascal ladies office.

But Zita was very busy with lots of numbers.

I am not so good with numbers. 

So I went into the big bedroom and had a very long sleep in. Right beside Craig. Ha. 

I kept him toasty when while he listened to his book. Ha. Good for me.

Then Emmet came upstairs to write more of the very important story. 

So I went and minded him. Ha.

Then after a while Craig was right there in the living room too and then Niamh was there too.

And Niamh got the special scissors to cut my bangs. 



So everybody could see my beautiful eyes.

And I could see everyone too. Ha. That was a good idea.

At nighttime I do not see everything as well as I did a long time ago. Oh well. Too bad for me.



But then we were making too much noise. 

So Emmet went downstairs where it was very quiet. Oh dear me. 

You cannot write very interesting words when everywhere around you is noisy. 

Then Craig got me my lunch when he had his another coffee. 

And Zita went for her forget the too many numbers walk. 

It was not so very cold outside this afternoon.



So when Zita came back home I took Niamh for a long afternoon walk. Ha. 

And when Niamh and I got home Emmet was gone on his afternoon walk. My goodness me.

Everyone went on a lovely walk. Except for Craig. 

He had to stay here to mind the house when everyone was away. 

Before our dinnertime Niamh went to Tarryn’s apartment.

Because tonight all her friends are getting their secret presents. Oh my goodness me. That is exciting.

So it is only Craig and Zita and Emmet and me for dinnertime tonight.

So we had own made fish and chips. 

Because Niamh does not like any fishes. Oh my.

So we have them when she is somewhere else. Ha. 

I always get some own made chips in my own bowl. 

Maybe we will watch the new detective program tonight.

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Nine

It was still our vacation day today. But Zita did not have a nice sleep in. 

So we got up and had our together breakfast. 

It was way too cold outside to go for a good morning walk.

So I went back into the big bedroom and got up right beside Craig and had a nice long together nap. Ha.

Then I was too hot so I got up.

Emmet was writing the next interesting part of the important story. In the living room in his favourite chair.

And Niamh was downstairs painting her new picture. 

Zita was making our office all neat and tidy because tomorrow is a back to work day. Oh well.

I went into the living room so I could mind my friend Emmet. 

Last night we had delicious chicken roll ups. That you make by yourself. Ha.

Zita made me my very own chicken too.

So when it was lunchtime Craig put some right on top of my lunch. That was a tasty idea.

Then Zita and I went for our afternoon walk.

But we had to get all dressed up with our best warm clothes. 

Even my very warm boots. My goodness me.



Because it was still very cold outside. Too bad for us. 

When I got home right away I loudly told everybody how cold it was outside. 

So they would not go outside and get all frozen up. 

Minding everybody is my best job.

When we were outside we only saw two other people. 

Because it was too cold for nice walk arounds. 

When we got home it was time for my nap. 

But Zita and Craig were busy moving everything around in our rascal ladies office.

So we could have more room for us.

So some of too loud speakers went downstairs. 

And some went into the den. 



I do not know why. Oh well.

Then Zita took Emmet to the drugstore so he could get his do not get caught by the flu shot. That was a good idea.

The black go fast car took them. 

It is too cold for a nice walk but Niamh went out anyway. 

I stayed inside and looked out my windows. 

But there was nearly not even one person outside. Because of the too much cold.

Tonight we had an altogether dinner. And with Tarryn too. 

When Niamh came home she made very delicious tortellinis soup for our dinnertime. 

Tortellinis are Emmet’s very favourite. 

But Emmet does not like soups so much. So Emmet had the tortellinis all by themselves.

But you cannot find tasty fat tortellinis in far away Cork. Oh dear. That is too bad for them.

So Emmet will be all filled up with them before going back to the little apartment. Goodness me. 

After dinnertime everybody talked for a long time.

So I had an under the table nap. Ha.

Then we watched a brand new detective program until it was our bedtime.

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Eight

It was sleep in Sunday.

So we had a nice little sleep ins this morning. 

I had a nice little sleep in in the big bedroom on my very comfy duvet.

But it was not such a long sleep in.

After Emmet was all awake and had a nice breakfast it was time for a nice outside walk around.

But we had to remind Emmet to wear a keep you ears warm hat.

Because it was a cold windy day today.

I think Emmet forgot how to get all frozen ears. 

There are not so many frozen ears in way far away Ireland. Oh goodness me. 

Then I helped Zita and Niamh fix the all broken picture. 

Right on the living room floor.



But sometimes I was not such a very big help.

Because maybe my foot moved the picture. 

Then I had to go and look out my watching window. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

After everybody had their lunchtime I took Zita for an all around our neighbourhood walk.



We put on our very toasty warm clothes so we would not get all frozen up. Good for us.

When we got home Zita went downstairs to help Niamh.

Because her bedroom is way too full up with everything. 

So she asked Zita to help her. That was a good idea. 

They were downstairs for a long long time. And they found treasures. 

In boxes that we brought from the old house. And we never opened up. Oh my goodness me.

But I stayed upstairs to mind Craig and I also had a very nice nap. 

My friend Emmet got back home without all frozen off ears. Ha. That was good. 

We had from Mexico chicken roll ups for our dinner.

Then everybody talked for a long time. So I had a nice nap.

Then it was nearly time for bed.

That is my favourite time.

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Seven

We stayed up until very late last night.

So we could say goodbye to our old year and see if a new year could find us.

But I could not help find it. 

Because it was past my bedtime and I was all asleep. Ha.

But when I was all awake this morning everybody was the same. 

Nobody was brand new. Not even me. Oh well.

But everyone was fast fast asleep.

Except for Zita and me.

So we went for a long walk. It was not even too cold outside. Just a bit messy.

And there was not even one person outside. It was just us. 

When we came home everyone was still asleep. So I got up on the big bed to get Craig all awake.

But he just stayed there all comfy warm. I even lay right on top of him. Oh well.9 Too bad for me.

But when he was awake he got into the go faster chair and we had a cookie for our breakfast.

But then it was my lunchtime and Craig found my special treats too.

And then Zita made us toasts. 

And there was the very tasty brand new raspberries jam on top.

It was the secret present from Miss Sandra. 

The very delicious pies store makes jams too. I did not know that. 

Then I had a very nice nap. 

Zita and Niamh were downstairs in Niamh’s bedroom to make it all neat and tidy. 

And different.

So there is a special place where Niamh can make her very beautiful paintings. 

And get all her clothes squeaky clean and neat and tidy. Oh my goodness me.

Then it was time for to find Professor Jill so she could come on a nice walk with us. 

It was very messy outside so when we got home I stayed on my comfy kitchen rug. 

And Craig put a warm blanket on me. So I would not be caught by a cold. Ha.

Tonight we had a very special for our brand new year dinnertime.

Everybody had their very own very favourite delicious dinner. 

Craig had toasty all over cheesie sandwiches. Ha.

And Niamh had the hot squishy cheese with the long bread from France. My goodness.

Emmet had Mister Kettleman’s very tasty bagels and the just for bagels cheese. 

They do not even have one Mister Kettleman’s store in way far away Cork. Too bad for them. 

Zita had her very favourite very very delicious all smoked all over salmon. 

And I got a giant piece of very delicious very thin ham from way far away Italy. Ha.

Zita even made everybody’s very favourite made from molasses cookies. Ha. Those are good cookies.

Sometimes Craig and I have them for our breakfast. That is a tasty breakfast. It is known. 

Then everybody sat at the dining room table and talked until I fell fast asleep. 

With my head on Craig’s feet. So he would not have all frozen up feet. 

Then Emmet and Niamh went downstairs to talk to their friends.

And Craig and Zita and I went in the den to watch the television. 

So Zita put on her cosy pyjamas. So I went to sleep.
