The noisy make the streets all neat and tidy machines should come and take away all the stones. It is known.

Niamh wants her own music machines. For her own room. We have lots in the scary basement. That is good.

One of little doors in the kitchen fell on me. A while ago. They are very scary. I am a bit afraid of them now. 

Craig said that is ok. He said I am very brave when I should be. And fierce. That is true. 

Craig is not very brave with spiders. I am not afraid of spiders at all. Ha. Good for me. 

I help Zita catch them. And noisy flys. In the summer time. I am good at that. It is known.

Emmet's is nearly all finished his long story all about the very dangerous Russian trains. He went for a nice walk. To rest his brain. 

Brains get tired when you are writing lots and lots. That is why you have to drink irish tea when you are at your university. It is known.

Craig is still a Viking. He now has a little boat. He stole it from the nasty Vikings. 

The king of the nasty Vikings killed all his friends. And his dogs. Oh dear. This is not a good book.

It is a way way too cold day. 

Zita and I waited until after lunch to go for our nice little walk. I am tired of the way too cold. It is known.

Emmet and I watched out my window last night. That is nice.

Craig is a Viking again. He is hiding in the forest from nasty Vikings. They killed all his own family. Oh dear. They will be sorry. 

Craig says that is why books are so nice. Because the nasty people always get caught. Or chopped all up into pieces by nice Vikings. Ha.

It is a way too cold day. 

Last night we watched a nice movie all about a nice detective. In way far away England. He catches nasty people. 

He has his very own church. It is a not so very big church. He does not have a nice dog to help him. So I had a nice nap on the comfy rug in the den. 

Craig's hockey team won again. He was happy. Me too.

We went to our nice beds very early. Everybody was way tired. And Zita's cold is still catching her. I slept on her feet. Good for me.

Uncle Bill came for a nice visit. To drink his tea and eat own made scones. He hurt his feet. In his brand new shoes. He walked all the way home. He had holes in his feet. Too bad for him.

Emmet went for a walk. Just a little walk. Because of the way too cold. He did not hurt his feet. That is good.

We did not pay roll the ball. Because of the too much snow. Oh well.

I was very very happy. I ran all over the house. Ha. Good for me.

I had a very long day guarding the house. 

We got up and played roll the ball. Before my breakfast. Ha.

Today is Emmet's all day at his nice university day. Craig drove him and brought him home all safe.

I had to guard the house all by myself. It is not so hard in the daytime. My comfy bed was in the kitchen. 

After the nice university Craig and Emmet went to the special delicious bread store. Emmet got his favourite cookies. And some of the way heavy best toasts bread. For toasts tomorrow.

Craig put the make sandwiches sliding tabe all back together. All fixed. That is good. 

We could not have toasts this morning. There was no sliding table. We had croissants instead. Good for me.

Zita and Niamh are still away. Craig showed me a picture. Niamh whith lots of giant elephants. I like elephants. 

The Punics had very fierce elephants a long long long time ago. Mountain climbing elephants. Emmet told me all the way old stories. 

Niamh's elephants were not real elephants. Just statues. In a big big museum. With dinosaurs too. Dinosaurs are very scary. They are all gone. Ha. Too bad for them. 

It is not so cosy in our house when Zita and Niamh are not here. The big bed to too empty. Not enough feet for nice pillows. Too bad for me. Oh dear.

Day Nine Hundred and Eighty Eight

It is not a very quiet day.

We had our toasts. Craig had his too much coffe.

Squirrels came to my patio. Where we took away all the snow. There were two squirrels. They ran up my beautiful trees. 

I barked a lot at them. I woke poor Emmet up. Oh dear. I got in trouble. Oh well.

Craig had to fix the make your tasty sandwiches slide out table. It was nearly all falling apart. 

Craig took it all apart in pieces. On the dinning room table. He got all the tools from the great big all your tools chest. With all the drawers. 

He had to make lots of noise to fix it all back together. It is hard to have a nice nap in my comy bed in the kitchen when it is all noisy. I went into the bedroom with the big bed. With all the pillows. 

Craig and Emmet went to my Doctors after Emmet's nice university time. To get my don't have a sick tummy medice. That is nice. 

Craig and Emmet are going to a too many chips restraurent tonight. 

They cannot use the big dinning table. It is covered in way too sharp tools. And the sandwich table all glueing back together. We cannot move it until it is all done gluing. Ha.

Zita and Niamh are still not in their cosy beds. I saw a picture of my friend Niamh in a giant comfy bed. Oh dear. I like big comfy beds. Too bad for me.

They are going visiting people in the big New City. I do not know why. 

When they are not here it is way too quiet. Craig put the noisy hammer away. That is good.

Craig and I played roll the ball a lot today. That is good. I think he does not remember how to throw the ball. Because he is old. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Craig's scary Vikings program is on the television tonight. In the den. They are very fierce Vikings. I do not watch it. 

I just like programs with nice policemen with brave dogs catching nasty people. In way far away places. With soft music. Not way too loud scary music. It is known. 

Day Nine Hundred and Eighty Seven

My house is way too quiet today. 

Zita and Niamh are not here at all. They are all away in the big New City. The phone does not make any loud noise when only Craig and Emmet are here. Oh well. 

Craig did not fall out of his comfy bed last night. I was there. Right beside him. Ha. I am a good guarding dog. It is known. 

Craig and I had lots of fast toasts today. That is good. And too much coffee. 

Zita and Niamh sent me pictures. It is very bright in the New City. Even in the middle of the night. They had their dinner in the middle of the night. In the very too bright square. Ha. 

Yesterday before Zita and Niamh got on the big noisy aeroplane Emmet had a nice talk with his way old church people professor.

All about what nice university he should go to next. Maybe he should stay here she said. Because of all the other professors who like way old churches. 

I would like that. If Emmet was not here who would dance with me. Oh dear. 

There is a big church down my street. I can see it on our nice walks. It is not so old. 

Emmet would go to only way way old churches. All fallen down churches. The not fallen down ones are not so interesting. To my friend Emmet. Oh well.

It is a not so warm day out side. We only played roll the ball a bit. Craig will get all too cold and fall over all frozen. Oh well.

How will Zita sleep without me to keep her feet all warm. Oh dear. Who will get Niamh all awake in the morning. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

They do not have nice dogs like me in far away hotels. Just big televisions. And little soaps. 

I will have to take care of Craig and Emmet all by myself. Oh dear. They will not eat the vegetables. No bean treats for me. Oh dear.

Niamh has to teach all day at the dance a lot place. She said she was all better. I do not think that is true. She has medicine to take for her ears. Aeroplanes hurt your ears. It is known.

I do not like it when I see the big red bags. People put all the nice clothes in them. And go away. Without me. Their very own best dog. That is not nice.

Dogs have to go in big nasty boxes on aeroplanes. Not with their own nice people. That is not right. Oh well.

Zita said I was in charge. Craig and Emmet will not listen. They are not good listeners. They will not go to bed at a nice time. 

I will have to wait for my dessert until late. Oh well.

I will sleep at the top of the big bed. So Craig will not fall out of bed. In the middle of the night. I will sleep on the comfy pillows. Until I get way too hot. Then I will sleep on my comfy bed. Ha.

Craig and Emmet phoned Mister Tony. When he came home from the airport. He was alone. No Zita. No Niamh. Oh dear. 

Mister Tony gave us a nice pizza. Ha.
