Day One Thousand and Ninety Two

We did not sleep in so much today.

Zita and I went for our nice walk before Craig was all awake. Ha. I said hello to my friends the ducks. I did not scare them at all. That is good.

We had toasts today. That is good. 

When Emmet got up we had even more toasts. Emmet cannot share his toasts. He needs all his toasts to get all better for ever. It is known.

Craig shared his extra toasts.

We had tasty hamburgers for our dinner. Last night. I got lettuce treats. Good for me.

Then Zita and Craig and Emmet and I watched the television. Nice stories about a churchman who catches nasty people. And all his very nice friends. 

There were no brave dogs in the stories. Just people. Oh well.

Niamh and cousin Orlaith are still at Julia's beside the very big river house. They will be there tomorrow too.

It is very quiet with no Niamh. That is not right.

Craig is a young lady Queen. In a far away place. Full of dangerous people. Who do not want her to be a nice Queen.  But she is magic. They do not know it. Ha. Too bad for them. 

I got cheese treats today. I did not bark. Not even once at the nasty squirrels in my beautiful trees. Good for me. 

Zita went to the tasty food store and to Mister Nicastro's smelly cheese store. That is good. So we can have nice dinners. All together. 

Craig and I played roll the ball a lot. That is good. It is not a way too hard game. Craig can still play it. That is good.

The present man brought Emmet a new book. All about a nice church lady who is a detective. In way far away long time ago Ireland. 

Her brother is a King. He lives in a big castle. On a big hill. With giant fierce dogs. Who are not afraid of scary wolves. Ha. Good for them. That is a good book. It is known.

We only had very little toasts today. And no tasty jam. Oh well.

Niamh and Cousin Orlaith are still at the on the big river house. It is way quiet here.

Emmet is still a bit too sore. Where all the nasty holes are. Sometimes it is hard for him to go all fast asleep. Oh dear.

Zita and Emmet and Craig and I watched a story on the television last night. All about the way old queen's very beautiful clothes. 

It was not so interesting. I had a nice nap. On the comfy rug. In the den. 

Nice dogs do not need all beautiful clothes. I have my own made warm Scotsman coat. For the way too cold days. In the winter. It is not winter. Ha. 

Zita was talking to all the rascal ladies today. From all over. On the telephone. 

We are having a quiet day.

It is not way quiet outside. There are giant diggers on the other part of my street. The diggers make lots of very loud noises. 

I did not bark at them. They cannot hear me bark. They are too too much loud. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

We have to keep all the doors closed. And the windows. Because of the too much noise. And the dust. Oh well. 

Emmet came outside to listen to his new book. In the side yard. The side yard is all full of sun now.

Zita and I went to the way busy street for a nice walk. We went to the beautiful thank you card store. To get a beautiful card for professor Aleck. 

Craig said she was a way big help finding nice new classes for my friend Emmet. When he was in the nasty food hospital. Classes for when the summer is all over and he goes back to his nice university. 

The way noisy stop the fire trucks drove down the busy street. When I was in the nice store. We had to go outside. 

The very loud sirens are very scary and I bark at them. A long time ago they all came to my own street. It made me a bit scared. Too bad for me. 

Zita and I went for another nice walk. Before my dinner. To give her lady friend a beautiful card. Because she got all married. That is nice.

My friend Jamie came for a little visit. When we were taking all the weeds away. Craig gave Professor Jill a big picture of the Broken House War. 

We are going to cook outside tonight. Tasty steaks. And all squished up potatoes. For Zita and Emmet and Craig. Not me. Oh well.

Zita and Emmet have to go to the nasty food hospital again. 

In the way early morning. So the look inside you machine can see if Emmet is all right again. Oh dear. Too much worry. It is known.

I do not like it when Zita and Emmet go out of our house way early. Or way late at night.

When that happens sometimes Emmet does not come home for a long time. I do not like that. It makes me sad. Oh dear. I do not like sad so much. It is known.

Niamh and Orlaith and Emily and Cara went to have just for lunch noodles. In big bowls. 

I did not go. I stayed in my nice house to guard Craig. Oh well. 

I have to help Craig fight Mister Napoleon. At the very big battle. 

It is not so far from where all the very nice Bouvier dogs used to live. With all the way old church people. Oh dear. That is too dangerous a place for nice dogs.

I am glad I live here in my nice house. Far away from Mister Napoleon. It is known. 

Day One Thousand and Eighty Seven

We are having a nice quiet day. That is good.

Emmet had to get up early. To tell his nice university what way interesting classes his is going to listen to. After the summer is all over.

He has a class all about stories about way nice animals. And how they helped the way way old people be people. That will be a good story class. Maybe they will have pictures of elephants. Or me.

Professor Jill is going to tell Emmet more stories all about the Broken House War. Jamie and I will not be able to talk about it. Again. Oh well.

Craig and Emmet and I had toasts today. In the den. Only Craig shared his toasts. Emmet has to eat all his toasts so he will get better for ever. It is known.

Tomorrow he has to go back to the nasty food hospital. So the look inside you machines can see if he is all better. Oh dear.

Niamh did not get up until way late. She and Orlaith went way downtown. To see all fancy stores. That is nice. 

Zita and I went for a long walk before dinner. We did not go down the all torn up street. With all the very noisy machines digging the giant holes. We might fall all in. So we went on the no big holes streets.

One time they gave him not the right medicine and he got way way too sore. That is why Zita guards him. When he wakes all up. After they put the nasty holes in him. Oh dear. Oh dear. That is not right. 

I do not know why they put nasty holes in my friend Emmet. Nobody told me. 

Before Emmet wakes all up Craig will come home so I can guard him. Maybe we will watch a nice detective. From way far away. With a brave dog. On the television. In the den.

The way old people put giant stones in the ground. All round. So people could find them. Even at night. We saw them. On the big television. 

Some were even in way way far away Scotland. Even houses made all of stones. Where it is always way windy cold. Right beside the ocean. 

That is why Scotsmen eat so much hot porridge. To keep all toasty warm in the windy cold. 

Tomorrow Emmet is going back to the nasty food hospital. So his nice doctors can see if the nasty hose has fixed Emmet all up.

I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. So will my friend Jamie. Jamie is a nice dog too. 

Niamh took me for a nice long walk. Before lunch time. We went way past the two ponds. Under the big bridge. Beside the very long canal. To where all the brand new stores are.
