Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Five

Oh dear me. 

Zita and Niamh and I had a sleep in today. 

But it was not Niamh’s sleep in day. Oh dear. 

So she was a little bit too late at her beautiful clothes store. Oh dear.

But we have the black go fast car and it went downtown very fast. Ha. 

So she was only a bit too late.

Craig had a little sleep in too. 

It is Saturday go to his old friends breakfast restaurant. 

But there is still too much very cold outside. And even windy too. So he did not go. 

Because when he gets too cold he has to have full of hot water bottles. 

So he is not just frozen forever. Oh dear.

Zita talked to her mother and her father this morning. In Dublin. On the telephone.

Her father has a sick tummy. So he is having a sleep in too. 

Then the black car took Zita to the stretching store. 

So when she got home she had to have a shower. So she would not be way too smelly. 

Emmet did not have a big sleep in. 

Because he needed to have his Irish tea right away. 

So he can write two brand new stories to tell everybody.

At important meetings. At the very old university in Dublin. 

That is where they have the very famous book in very very old Irish.

My friend Emmet can read very very old Irish. Ha. So he can read it too. 

And he is going to another meeting too.

At the in Cambridge university too. In way far away England. It is even older. Ha. 

Lots of his friends go there. He is going to stay with them. 

Because it will not cost him lots of real money. Ha.

And Emmet just found out about the stories yesterday. 

So he has to be a very quick writer. 

The way far away has lots of very old universities. 

Because everything is very very old in way far away.

Except for our cousins. They are not so old. Ha. That is good.

Today the day is not very long. But the night is very long. I do not know why. Oh well.

After lunchtime Zita went out to do some more shopping. For more Merry Christmas presents. Ha.

Craig was very busy this afternoon wrapping all the presents. For everybody. 

Then I helped Emmet with his lunchtime. 

And then I helped Craig eat his peanut butter and honey sandwich. 

I am alway a big help. Craig told me so.

When Zita came home we made our own pizza. For our own dinner. 

Zita and I had a nice walk before our dinner. It was only a bit way too cold tonight. 

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Miss Sash came to visit me. But she did not stay for our dinnertime. I do not know why.

Then we can watch the new lady detective. In the den. On the very comfy sofa. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Four

It was a get up too early in the morning day today. 

Because of the beautiful clothes store. Again. Oh well.

So the black go fast car took Niamh downtown.  And then brought Zita back home.

We did not have our before breakfast walk. I was very happy. 

It is way too cold for even very short nice walks. 

So we stayed in the toasty warm house. Until Zita went to her office.

Zita found my other boots. The keep your feet warm boots. 

My green boots only are only keep your feet dry boots. 

I do not like the keep you warm boots so much. Too bad for me.

The black go fast car took Zita to her downtown today. 

Because of the still too cold. 

Craig only had a little sleep in today. 

Then we had two all warmed in the oven croissants.

For our together breakfast.

Emmet had a squeaky clean shower this morning.

Because he went to lunch with his friend Miss Erin. 

She went to Mister Saint Francis’s university too. 

And to the university in Galway. Where cousins Orlaith and Emma go to university too. Ha. 

She knows all about dangerous oceans. That is nice.

Then Emmet went up to the busy street to find Miss Erin. 

So they could go the good for you food restaurant.

Craig and Zita go there too. 

When they go for their little at lunchtime adventures. Ha. That is a good restaurant.

After my lunchtime Craig wrapped secret presents. On the dining room table.

I had a nice nap in the kitchen. 

So I would not see any secret presents. By mistake. Ha. Good for me.

Craig did not look for interesting stories so much today. 

Because of the wrapping the secret presents. 

Our nice Queen is on holidays too. In Scotland. 

In her castle. It is not so warm in castles. Oh well. Too bad for her. 

We had used pizza for our lunchtime. It was very tasty. So we had another one. Ha.

Craig even put some brand new cheese on top. Ha.

Then he watched a new scary program on the television. I did not watch it. 

It had monsters. And witches. Oh dear.

I do not like scary programs so much. 

So I had a nice nap. Beside Craig. 

So I could mind him.

When Zita came home we did not go for our walk again.

Because it is even colder outside now. Oh dear. 

So I was Zita’s kitchen helper. Ha. That is my best job.

Emmet’s own telephone came back from way far away Ireland. All by itself. Ha.

He was very happy. That is good. 

Everybody should be happy all the time.

I am always happy all the time. Except for the too much barking times. Oh well.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Three

It was a way too cold day today. 

But Zita and I went for our before breakfast walk anyway. Oh dear.

But we did not go anywhere. Just around our block. Ha.

And she did not even let the black go fast car take her downtown. Oh dear.

So she found a smelly bus instead.

I minded Craig for a long time.

Because he had a sleep in today. Last night he did not go to fast asleep until too late.

Whenever I got all comfy on the big bed he was still just all awake. Too bad for him.

We had the special delicious very big muffins. Full of blueberries. For our together breakfast.

Mr. Aidan got them of our party last night. There were extras. So we had one. Ha. 

Miss Tara came to our house this morning.

To find everything she forgot here last night. Ha.

Then a car came to get Niamh and take her downtown. To her beautiful clothes store.

Because of the way too much cold.

And Emmet went to Mister Mike and Miss Morgan’s apartment this afternoon. 

To play the dragons game. A car came to find him too. That is good.

Craig and I had very tasty brand new croissants for our lunchtime. 

But Craig did not put jam on them today. I do not know why. Oh well. 

We had a very nice quiet day today.

Because I was very very busy yesterday. 

Guarding everything and all the Mahoneys too. 

Until past my bedtime. It is my best job. 

I am the very best party dog in the world. Zita told me. So it is true. 

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because only Craig and Zita were here for me to mind. Oh well.

We had Mister Tony’s delicious used pizzas. 

We did not go for our before dinner walk. 

Because we did not want to have too cold feet. Or noses. 

Maybe we will watch the new lady detective tonight. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Two

We got up early again today. But not way too early.

The go fast car took Niamh to her nice university. So she could study some more.

For her remember everything exam this afternoon.

But she is very sad.

Because today is the day that my family and the Mahoneys go out altogether.

To find lots and lots of Merry Christmas presents for a nice family who need some extra presents. 

And some very tasty food. So they can have a very Merry Christmas time too. 

But Niamh cannot go this time.

Because of the remember everything exam. 

And this is the first time ever that she did not go. Ever. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

After our lunchtime Kathy and Tara and the truck came here to find Zita and Emmet. 

Last year Tara could not help because she had a remember everything exam in Toronto.

Oh dear. Too many exams.

Mister Kirian and Mister Aidan are going too. When they are all fast awake. 

In Mister Aidan’s car. But not Niamh. Oh dear. Oh dear. So everyone is sad. Oh dear.

But when they have found everything they will come back here.

So I can help them put everything into the big boxes. Ha. That is a good job. 

And friend Niamh will be home then. 

And Mister Tony’s friend will bring us lots of tasty pizzas. 

And we will eat them in the living room. Right on the floor. Then Niamh will not be so sad. That is good.

Craig had a nice sleep in this morning. So he could listen to his book. 

Emmet listens to Mister Pratchett’s books on his telephone all the time. 

Even after Mister Pratchett went all the way to Heaven. Oh dear. 

Maybe he is writing brand new stories for everybody in Heaven. That is a good idea.

Zita and I had a nice walk this morning.

Because it is not so cold today. That is good. 

Craig and I played catch the ball. But not a lot of times. Oh well. 

Then Zita and Emmet and all the Mahoneys came back to our house with all the presents.

I guarded them. Ha.

Then we had treats. And carrots too. Carrots are my favourite.

We had lots and lots of boxes for all the presents. 

So we filled them all up. 

Then Aidan went and found Niamh at the university and brought her home. 

Because her remember everything exam was all over. Ha.

Then we put all the boxes into the truck and took them to the other church. 

So they could give them to the nice people.

Mister Tony’s friend brought us lots of pizzas for everybody. 

And then Richard came to help us eat all the pizzas and drink some of the lots of wine. 

And then everybody talked and laughed for a long time and then we had tasty desserts. 

So I had a nice nap. 

Parties are my favourite. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred and One

This morning I was wide awake when it was dark outside.

Because I had to help Niamh have her breakfast. 

Today Niamh had to go to the beautiful clothes store to get it all open even earlier for everybody.

Because of the Merry Christmas time. Oh dear. Too bad for her. 

So the black go fast car and Zita drove her downtown. 

Because of the still dark outside.

Last night Niamh was very busy studying for her remember everything exams.

But I was not such a very big help last night. 

Because I wiped words off her important words board. Oh dear.

I did not get in trouble.

Because it was an accident. I was just looking and my nose did it. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

When Zita came home we went for our before my breakfast walk. It is not so cold today.

Then she walked to the downtown. She did not take the too slow smelly bus today. 

Craig only had a very little sleep in. Too bad for me. 

But I did not get all up until the toasts were all ready. We had fat toasts with lots of jam today. Ha.

Then Emmet was all awake too.

Because today he went up to the busy street. So he could see our nice dentist. Ha.

Then he came home. With spic and span teeth. Ha. 

There were lots of very noisy push the snow around machines on my street today.

Too bad for me. 

I stayed in the living room. Right beside Craig. 

So I could scare away those machines before they came into my own house. Ha.

But I got into not so much trouble anyway. Oh well. 

The present man brought us a secret present. But I did not know him. Oh dear.

Craig and I did not have a together lunchtime today.

Because he made Scotsmen’s porridge. Dogs do not like porridge. Too bad for me. 

So I had a lovely nap. Until Emmet made his cheese sandwich lunch. Ha. I helped him.

Then he made his Irish tea. So he could write another interesting story for an important meeting. 

In way far away Cambridge. In way far away England. Ha. It is a very very very old university. 

With lots and lots of very very old books. In their very very old library. 

Old old books are Emmet’s favourite. It is known.

When Niamh came home she went right to the dining room table.

To do her studying for the remembering everything exam tomorrow. At her nice university. 

My own nose cannot reach the top of the dinning room table. Only the underneath. 

So I did not make another accident. With all the important words. Ha. That is good. 

Zita and I decided not to go on our before dinner walk. When she got home from her stretching store.

Because of the too dark and the too cold. That was a good idea.

So I helped Zita in the kitchen with the green beans instead. Ha. 

Green beans are my favourite.

Because tonight we are going to have an everybody altogether dinner. 

With all of us. That is just right. Good for us.

We will have to find new detectives tonight. 

Because we watched all the doctor and his friend the detective programs last night. 

Before we went to our comfy bed.

Day Two Thousand Seven Hundred

Zita and I went for our very cold walk this morning. It is a too cold outside day today.

And Craig did not have a sleep in today.

Because Miss Tamina came to make the house all spic and span today.

I had a little nap until Craig was finished his too much coffee.

Then I had my breakfast. 

Then the noisy machine was everywhere so I went into the big bedroom. 

And I had a nice nap.

Emmet and Niamh were all awake before lunchtime. Ha. 

Last night Craig made the baby Jesus’s house. 

Because it will soon be his Sing Happy Birthday day. 

And is the on very same day as Merry Christmas Day. Ha. That is silly.

Lots of our animals came to say hello when he was born. Even the polar bears and big buffalos.

And a moose too. 

Buffalos are my favourite. Ha.

And there are fierce Scotsmen too. With giant axes. 

To make sure nobody wakes up the little baby Jesus. When he is fast asleep. 

Or steal the sheep. Ha.

They do not have any noisy bagpipes. 

Just big swords and long chop you all up dead axes. Ha. 

Emmet went to his friends apartment this afternoon to play the dragons game with all his friends.

He had to wear his very toasty warm clothes. And gloves too. 

Because of the too much cold. 

And because the smelly buses are not so warm either. Oh dear.

But Niamh is very busy studying for her remember everything exams. Oh dear.

The black go fast car took Zita to her office today.

Because of the way too much cold. 

After Miss Tamina left Craig and I had some of Emmet’s birthday cake. For our lunchtime. 

But it was not all on fire. Oh well. 

Then I had a nice nap. In the very warm kitchen. 

On my own comfy rug. 

Oh dear me. This afternoon Craig was looking at his secret presents list. 

But I do not even have a list. 

How will Mister Saint Santa know what would be my best secret presents. 

I did not know about a list. Oh dear. Nobody told me. 

Maybe everybody has a list. Except me. Oh dear. That is not so good. 

Maybe Emmet might know. 

He is always making giant lists. For all his university stories. Oh dear me.

Maybe I should talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. Maybe I could tell him all about my list. 

And he could tell Mister Saint Santa. When they have their tea and tasty biscuits time. Ha. 

We had our before dinnertime walk today. Even in the very cold. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

When we got home I had to stay in the kitchen.

Because I was a bit soggy. 

Even with my new green keep you dry boots on. Oh well. 

So I helped Zita make our delicious chicken dinner. 

Chicken is my favourite.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Nine

We had the big party here last night. 

Because of the birthdays. Ha.

And we had our two all on fire cakes. 

And everybody sang the Sing Happy Birthday song. Not just me.  Ha.

Then everybody ate lots and lots. 

I had to mind everybody all by myself. Ha. That is my best job.

Craig just hid in the den. And watched the hockey game. His team won. Ha. 

And Zita was in the kitchen making sure everybody had way too much to eat. 

Then everybody went downstairs to get their beautiful party clothes on.

So they could go to another party.

But the weather was nasty again. With too heavy snow all over.

So after they went to the other party they all went to visit Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagel store. Ha.

So they did not have to drive anywhere else in the blowing all over snow. 

Now there is snow all over everywhere again. Oh dear.

So Zita drove Niamh to the beautiful clothes store this morning.

After we had our good morning walk. In all the brand new snow.

Craig had a little sleep in. But I could not keep him company today.

Because I was too busy helping Zita moving all the snow. 

And putting more beautiful decorations on our own tree. Ha.

We always have a Scotsman angel on the top of our tree. 

I did not know that there were Scotsman angels. Oh well.

After our together toasts Craig wrapped Auntie Jane’s secret presents.

Because she came to visit our house today. So she can take the presents home. 

We had pretend pancakes today. With maple syrup too. Ha.

Emmet is gong to his dragons game friends Merry Christmas dinner. 

Even before Christmas.

Because his friends are going to visit their own families at Christmas time. That is good.

Zita and I took Professor Jill and the little dog on our long before dinner walk. 

Before it was all dark outside. Ha. That is a good idea,

But I had to wear my green boots because of the everywhere snow. 

Oh well. Now my feet will not get all icy. That is good. Maybe. 

Then Zita drove Emmet to his Merry Christmas time dinner. At his friends apartment. 

He brought lots of tasty delicious desserts. 

Because you can not go to a lovely own made dinner party with empty hands. It is the rule. 

Then Zita went downtown to find Niamh so she could come home. For a lovely dinner. 

So Craig wrapped more secret presents. Right on the dining room table. 

Because nobody was here to see the presents. Except me. I did not peak. Good for me.

Maybe we will watch the detectives tonight. Maybe we will have chips. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Eight

Today is my own friends Emmet and Niamh’s Sing Happy Birthday day.

I did not know. Oh dear me.

Nobody told me. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

And Niamh did not even get home until nearly early. Oh dear. 

She had a party with friends from the beautiful clothes store. 

Because of the happy birthday day. Oh dear.

Craig had a big sleep in. He did not go to his old friends breakfast restaurant today. 

Because it is all the time raining outside today. 

And he did not want to be all soggy this morning. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

And now all the snow is all gone again.

Sometimes there is snow and then it is all gone again. That is silly weather.

So I kept Craig’s feet as warm as can be until he was wide awake.

And Emmet talked to his Nanna and grandad on our telephone. 

Because it is his Sing Happy Birthday day.

We will have an all on fire cake. Maybe we will have two. Ha.

All on fire cakes are my favourite.

Zita put our beautiful lights on our Merry Christmas tree when I was minding Craig.

Then Zita was all finished and we could go for our walk. 

But we were soggy when we got home. 

Because of the all the time Irish rain. Oh well. Too bad for us.

I had to stay in the kitchen. On my own towels until I was all dry. Craig stayed with me. 

Then we had very very fat peanut butter and honey toasts. Ha. 

Zita and black go fast car were shopping all afternoon.

Because of Merry Christmas time. And secret presents too. Ha. 

Before dinnertime Emmet and Niamh opened their Sing Happy Birthday presents. Ha.

Niamh got a very little train. 

So she can go and visit Miss Georgie. In Toronto. On a real do not just crash train.

She was so surprised she even cried. Oh dear.

And Emmet got a brand new book for his dragons game. 

And a new cosy warm shirt from Niamh. 

And brand new beautiful pants from Niamh’s store. Ha. 

That is good. 

Craig’s mother and I gave them some real money. Ha. Good for me. 

So Emmet gave me a big scratch. 

Scratches are my favourite. It is known.

Miss Georgie called Niamh on her I can see you phone.

But she very upset.

Because she could not just surprise Niamh tonight. Her from Toronto aeroplane could not fly here.

Because of the all the time freezie rain in Toronto. Oh dear.  

They were both very sad. Oh dear. That is not so very nice

Then lots of Niamh’s friends came over for lots of different little tasty treats.

And put lots and lots of our beautiful decorations on our own Merry Christmas tree.

So I had to mind everybody. In the living room. 

Because that was where everybody ate their tasty treat dinners. That is my favourite job. 

Then we had the all on fire cakes.

We had two.

Because we have two Sing Happy Birthday days on the very same day. Every year. Ha.

So we always have two on fire cakes. 

Niamh’s was a just all made of ice cream cake.

And Emmet’s cake was from the bake very tasty bread store. It had lots of icing. Ha. 

And everybody sang the Happy Birthday song. Even me too. Ha.

But I was very tired because I had a very busy day today. 

So I went to the big comfy bed for a nice nap. 

.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Seven

After our cold good morning walk Zita drove Niamh downtown.

But they had to come back home. Because Niamh had a very sick tummy. Oh dear me.

Because she had way too old food at her beautiful clothes store last night. Oh dear. That was silly.

So she went downstairs to her comfy bed and went to fast asleep. 

So Craig and I did not have a sleep in at all.

But today we had toasts for our together breakfast. Ha. That is good.

Last night Zita and I went to the busy street for our before dinnertime walk.

We went to our very nice bank.

Because they always give very polite dogs giant treats. 

I always get a treat. Ha. Good for me.

And when we got home Craig dropped my own dinner bowl. 

And my tasty dinner went everywhere all over the kitchen. 

But I found all of it. All by myself. Ha. That is a good game. It is known.

This morning Craig and I only played catch the ball one time.

Then he had his another too much coffees. I had a nice nap.

Because I did not have a sleep in this morning. 

Emmet was all awake this morning. 

So he could have his Irish tea and bagel breakfast. Bagels are Emmet’s favourite.

They do not have delicious bagels stores in way far away Cork. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Maybe no one there knows nice Mister Kettleman. Too bad for them. 

Craig was busy this morning because he found lots of interesting stories for the Queen. Ha.

I minded him. On right on the comfy living room rug.

Before lunchtime Niamh had a squeaky clean shower so she could go to see a man at our nice bank. 

So she can save more money.

Maybe they will give her a tasty treat. She is very polite too. 

And Emmet went for a nice walk. So he could listen to his book. 

Right on Craig’s telephone. Ha. That is a silly telephone.

It is not so cold today and all the snow is nearly all gone again. It is silly weather. 

Craig was sitting in the new very fast chair today. And yesterday too. 

But sometimes he runs into the doors. Oh dear. I do not know why.

He does not run into me. Just the doors. That is good.

Mister Tony’s friend is going to bring us delicious pizzas tonight.

Because Zita is very busy shopping for secret presents. Maybe even for one for me. Maybe.

Mister Saint Santa always brings me my special present. 

It is always there under the Merry Christmas tree. With my own name on it. Ha.

My own family gets me one too. That is nice. 

Craig always helps me get presents for everybody. 

Because I do not have any real money.

Because dogs do not have pockets and we would just lose it. To bad for us.

So finds the special secret presents for me. And he even pays for them too. Ha. 

That is because we are friends.

We did not watch the detectives last night. Maybe tonight. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Six

Zita and I did not go for our good morning to everybody walk today.

Because the sky remembered how to snow again. 

So there was a little bit of snow all over everywhere. And I did not want to have cold feet.

So Zita said we did not have to go outside this morning. Ha.

I was very happy and then I kept Craig comfy warm instead. Ha. Good for me. 

My friend Emmet was all awake early this morning. 

He was writing again until very late last night so Craig and Mister Florian could see it too. 

So they could help make it beautiful.

It is all about Emmet’s favourite very old Gods. In way long ago Ireland.

It is for an important meeting. Maybe.

Craig and I had oatmeal cookies for our breakfast. Oh well. 

Toasts are my favourite. With some tasty jam. Ha. That is a good breakfast.

Last night the silly bunny came back. It was hiding under the silver little car. 

It should go to its very own house and not hide under our cars.

Because it might get squished. Oh dear. I would not like that so much. 

Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store today. All dressed as warm as can be.

Because it is not even a bit warm outside. 

But she will not be home for an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because it is a work late night. 

Emmet went up to the busy street. So he could get his secret presents. 

Because it will be Merry Christmas time soon.

Craig gave him his own telephone.

Because it is the very same as Emmet’s still in Ireland telephone. Ha. That is good.

Craig does not need a telephone when he is just in our house. 

Because I am minding him. 

So he is all safe as can be. Ha. Good for me. 

This afternoon Emmet put on all his very warm clothes and went on the smelly bus.

To go to Mister Mikes and Miss Morgan’s apartment. 

To play the dragons game with all his friends. And have a too many chips dinner. Ha.

Only Craig and Zita will be here for me to mind at our dinnertime tonight. 

Maybe we will watch the detective again tonight. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Five

My friend Emmet came home last night. Ha.

He had not forgotten that I am his very best friend. Miss Poppy. Ha. That is good.

We were very excited. 

I brought him my very favourite orange thing. Good for us. 

We had an altogether dinner with my whole family again. That is all right. 

We had lots and lots of delicious bagels too.

And then everybody talked for a long time. 

So I minded them right on the comfy living room rug. 

It is my best job. 

Then everybody went to fast asleep. That is good.

This morning Niamh went to her stretching until you are smelly place. She took her little rug.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and I had toasts for our own breakfast. 

Uncle Cirian is going to have his company send Emmet his not lost now telephone. 

All the way from way far away Ireland. That is nice.

We went for our good morning walk after our lunchtime.

Because Zita was very busy this morning. 

And I had to mind Craig and Emmet all by myself. Ha.

The sky tried to snow this morning. But it did not remember so well. 

And now the snow is all gone again. Ha. 

When Niamh came home she wrote all over her great big board. 

I was a big help. 

So she knows everything for her remember everything exams. That is a good idea.

I did not like my exams so much. 

I did not like to sit so very far away from my friend Zita. 

So I did not sit so long. It was a silly exam. 

Then Zita had to go to find a secret present for tonight.

Because tonight Zita is going to the rascal ladies Merry Christmas time party.

It is at Zita’s nearly most favourite very delicious food restaurant. Ha. That is good.

When she got home she had a squeaky clean shower.

Because you cannot go to a lovely restaurant if you are all smelly.

Sometimes I am a bit too smelly. And I have to have a bath. Right in the bathtub. Oh well.

Today Emmet was very busy talking to all his friends. 

So now is going to play the dragons game tomorrow. At the little apartment. Ha. 

So only Craig and Emmet and Niamh will have their own made dinner here tonight. And me too.

So everybody made their very own sandwiches. 

Niamh had a sandwich with from far away cheese. I helped.

Craig had peanut butter and honey toasts. I helped.

And my friend Emmet had just cheese and bagels. I helped. 

I am always a big help at dinnertime. 

We will not watch detectives tonight. 

Because Zita will be a the Merry Christmas time party.

I will have a nice nap instead. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Four

We got our Merry Christmas tree last night. Ha.

I helped putting the tee into its do not fall down tree holder.

It is a giant tree. We always get a giant tree.

Because Merry Christmas time is our very favourite time. It is known.

But we could not put all our beautiful decorations on it. 

Because it was still a frozen up tree. 

Maybe today we will make it all as beautiful as can be. For our Merry Christmas time.

Zita and I were up very early this morning. Because she had an appointment. Oh well.

We had a very nice walk. I did not have to wear my boots.

Because last night it was so warm the rain took away all the snow. Ha. That is good.

Craig and I had a toasty croissant for our breakfast. 

Croissants are my favourite because tasty pieces always fall off. Ha. 

My friend Emmet is going to come home to our house tonight. 

On a do not crash train. 

Zita will find him at the train station. It is not so very far away. 

This morning Niamh made his room all neat and tidy. 

Because she is his sister. And I am his very favourite dog. Ha. 

Then Niamh went to downtown to the beautiful clothes store. 

Craig and I played catch the ball. Then I had a nice nap. 

Because I up very early this morning. 

Zita came home this afternoon. And we went for a little walk. But now it is all cold again.

That is silly weather. 

Then she went to find my friend Emmet. At the train station.

She brought brand new bagels. From Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagel store. 

Mister Kettleman’s bagels are Emmet’s favourite. With the just for bagels cheese. Ha. 

He will be very tired when he gets home. 

Because of the wrong clocks in way far away Ireland.

But some nice person found Emmet’s own phone. 

So now it is in his grand parents house. Ha. It must be very happy too. Ha. Good for it. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Three

My friend Emmet lost his own telephone. In a taxi car. In way far away Dublin. Oh dear.

And all his stuff is right inside the phone. Oh dear.

I do not have a phone. Ha. Good for me.

But his grandad drove him to the aeroport very very early in the morning.

So he could find the do not just get lost at all aeroplane. And come back to here. 

So my friend Emmet talked to Zita on her phone. In the middle of our nighttime. I woke up. A little bit.

It is because of the wrong clocks in Dublin.

But when he got to Toronto Miss Tara found him. Right in the aeroport. 

Because they are friends.

Because all of the Mahoneys have been Emmet and Niamh’s best friends since the very beginning. Ha. 

Then Miss Tara took Emmet to his friends house. In a giant very fast car. 

Maybe she just found it. Maybe. 

Emmet’s friends go to even another university. 

So they could practice telling stories just like long time old Irish people. Oh well.

There are lots of another universities. But some are not so old.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Niamh were at a very very old university in Ireland.

It is not a university anymore because the fierce Vikings stole it all away. 

Now it has just dead people. Oh dear. Too bad for it.

The Vikings just stole lots of things. All over everywhere. That is not all right.

So now Vikings can only be on the television. Not everywhere else. Ha. Too bad for them.

Tomorrow Emmet has to find the do not fall over very often train to come home to our house.

And his own comfy bed. Ha.

Mister Paul came to my house this morning. 

So Niamh could make her old telephone as empty as can be.

So Mister Paul can use it. 

It was just all broken and he fixed it. Ha. 

Then Niamh went downtown to study for her remember everything exams.

And Mister Paul went to his house to pack his going away bag. 

Because he is going to way far away London today. Ha.

After everybody was all gone Craig and I had our together lunchtime.

We had all toasty croissants with strawberry jam. 

We played catch the ball after lunchtime.

But not so much. Because of the a little all the time rain.

But now all the snow is nearly all gone again. That is good. 

Craig did not have time to look for interesting stories today.

Because we were too busy. Ha. Good for us.

This afternoon Zita and Niamh and Miss Tarryn are going to Mister IKEA’s store.

To get our own beautiful Merry Christmas tree. 

Because they have lots and lots of lovely trees there. 

And cinnamon buns too. Ha. That is a good store.

They went in Miss Tarryn’s nearly a truck. 

Because the silver little car is too little for two giant trees. 

When they came home Zita and I went for our soggy before dinner walk. Oh well.

Then we had an altogether dinner. But not Emmet. 

Because he is in Toronto having a nice dinner with his friends. Too bad for him.

We will watch the doctor and the detective again. 

We did not watch so much of it last night. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety Two

It is sleep in Sunday but Zita and I were awake early today.

Because she has to go to a meeting for a special rascal lady.

And she took lots of beautiful flowers for the lady. I do not know why. 

It is not very cold outside today so we had a nice good morning walk.

Then the go fast black car took Zita to her not downtown meeting. 

And I minded Craig on the comfy bed. 

Then we had our little together breakfast. 

Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store when we were all finished our breakfast.

She and I were just the same today. She was all black too. Just like me.

Even her cosy warm coat. Ha.

Craig and I watched everything outside today. Right from my watching window.

He did not have to work today. Because it is Sunday. 

My friend Emmet is on a do not crash so much train today. 

All the way to the big train station in Dublin.

Because he is going to visit his Nana and his Grandad. They are in Dublin too. Ha. 

He will get tasty treats there. Nana always has tasty treats at her house. It is known. 

Maybe he will have toasts too. And Irish tea. Ha. 

Tomorrow he has to go to the aeroport so he can find an aeroplane that knows where we live.

So he can be here for Merry Christmas time. That is good.

The present man came to our house this morning.

With a box. Then Craig hid it. 

Because it is a secret present. Ha.

When Zita came back home she had lots and lots of delicious cheese. For Merry Christmas time. 

Merry Christmas time is my favourite.

Because we always have lots of parties. 

At some parties we have lots of very tasty from far away cheese. Ha. Those are good parties.

Zita said I am the very best party dog in the world. Ha. That is true. 

Zita cleaned all the way too old to eat food from the refrigerator. 

So there was enough room for the delicious cheese. Ha. That is a good idea. 

Then Zita took doctor Susan shopping. 

We have to get a new don’t let your beautiful Merry Christmas tree fall down holder.

Because we lost our old one. Oh dear. 

When Zita came home we went and found Profesor Jill and the little dog.

For our before dinner walk. Ha. That is good.

We did not have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Niamh is too busy at the beautiful clothes store. Oh well. 

But before dinnertime Zita and I played the peas game. It my favourite game.

Because I get to eat the peas. Ha.

Maybe we will watch the doctor and the detective program tonight. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety One

Zita and I got up very early this morning.

Because today is her go to her nice university day. For all day. To learn new things. Oh dear.

So we had a very early before breakfast walk. There is snow all over our own ponds. Oh well.

Susan took Zita to her class. She drove our black go fast car. 

Because all her cars are still all broken. Oh dear. 

Susan is going to get Zita when her brand new class is all finished. That is nice.

And today is Craig’s old friends breakfast day. But he did not go. 

Because he had to take medicine for his a bit too sore arm. Oh dear.

So he had a little sleep in. I kept him cosy company.

Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store before Craig and I were all awake. 

So we had our croissant together. In front of my watching window.

It is a cold outside day. So everybody has their keep your head warm coats on. 

So they cannot see anything. Oh dear. 

And some of the dogs going for their walks have their coats on too. 

It is not cold in my house. So I had a lovely nap. 

At lunchtime Susan brought a big box of flowers for the rascal ladies. I do not know why.

She did not know either. Oh well. 

Then Craig made scotsmen’s porridge for his lunchtime. Dogs do not like porridge so much.

So I got a cheese treat. Ha. 

Mister Tom brought us some brand new programs. 

To watch at night. Before our bedtime. That is very nice.

Because he is a nice man. 

But he does not drink any too much coffee. Only tea. I do not know why. 

Maybe he is Irish. Maybe. 

Zita got Niamh a special only for Merry Christmas time book. It has little holes in it. 

And there are chocolates in the holes. So you get chocolates every day. Until Christmas. Ha. 

That is a good book. And you do not even have to read it either. Ha. 

We did not play catch the ball lots of times today.

Because it was a bit too cold. Oh well.

Zita and I went for our before dinner walk.

When Susan brought her home from the nice university.

We had all our used food for our dinner. Ha. That is good. Used food is my favourite. 

Then maybe we will watch one of Mister Tom’s brand new programs tonight. 

Maybe we will have toasts. Ha.
