Zita and I had a nice walk this morning.

Because it is not a windy rain day outside today. That is good.

I was only a bit soggy.

Because of all the puddles. Oh well too bad for me.

Craig did not have a sleep in today.

After Zita went to the rascal ladies office Craig and I had two baby croissants for our breakfast. 

All toasty in the oven. With more butter. Ha. 

We played catch the ball lots of times this morning.

Then the nice man in the take your car away truck came to our house. 

And took the silver little car away. To Mister Mike’s fix it all up store. Oh dear. 

Niamh had to get on the smelly bus to go to her nice university. 

Because Craig’s little car was not here at all. Just an empty driveway. Oh dear. 

Craig hockey team won last night. I did not see it. I had a nice nap instead. 

Then everybody came home and we went fast asleep. Me too. 

Craig and I had peanut butter toasts again for our lunchtime. I got cheesie treats too. Ha. Good for me.

Craig and I had a nice quiet day. Just us. 

Because he had to read new stories for our nice Queen. 

So I just minded him. I could see him. Right from my duvet on the the big comfy bed. Ha. Good for me.

When he was all finished we played catch the ball again. 

Then Craig read his new book. 

Now he is a spy in long time ago way far away England. He has a pointy sword. Ha. That is good. 

There are pointy dangerous swords in the den. Under the not for Poppy sofa. Oh well. 

Tonight is Niamh’s stay until late night at the Centre Building. 

Because it is the everybody dance night. 

So only Craig and Zita will be here for me to guard at our dinnertime. Ha. That is an easy job. 

When Zita came home from the rascal ladies office we went for our before dinnertime walk. We walked until it was all dark. Ha. Good for us.

It is another rainy day outside today.

I was a soggy dog when Zita and I got back to our nice warm house. Oh well.

I kept Craig company on the big bed. Until he was all fast awake.

Then we had the apple nearly a croissant for our breakfast.

Craig went to a meeting way downtown. For our nice Queen. 

But he came back. Right away.

Because the silver car forgot how to just stop. Oh dear. That is not right. 

If you cannot stop you will just crash. Oh dear. He did not crash. 

Because the little silver car still remembers just a bit. How not to just crash.

So Craig drove the black go fast car and took Zita to the rascal ladies office. 

Then he came home to take Niamh to her see her nice lady doctor. 

Then he came home again. And Niamh went to the Centre Building for her work until late night.
