Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Six

Everybody had a very big sleep in today. Me too.

When Zita and I were all awake everybody else was still fast asleep.

So we had our together breakfast and then went for a very little walk.

We went to doctor Susan’s street to look at a big hole. Ha. That was very interesting.

But we did not go very far because it was way too sticky shot outside. There was even scary thunder last night.

So we came home.

But right on my street we found Professor Jill. 

So we sat in the shady part of our front yard and had a very nice visit.

And when we went into our house Emmet was all awake. But Niamh was still asleep until Craig was all awake too.

I had to help him with his breakfast toasts. 

Because he was nearly still asleep. Too bad for him.

Then Zita and the icy cold black car took Emmet and Niamh downtown.

Because of the way too sticky hot. 

They went downtown so Niamh could help Emmet find the just right for him glasses. 

In the glasses store nearly beside Niamh’s work. Ha. 

Then when Niamh went to her store Zita and Emmet came home. That was a nice adventure. 

I stayed here to mind Craig. And watch the whole world out my watching window. Ha. That is my best job. 

When Zita and Emmet came home I had a very nice nap. 

So did Emmet and then Craig had a little nap too.

Because it was our do not go to work Wednesday today. So we had a very nice together relax. 

But Craig did not get into the go fast chair today. I do not know why.

I did not like that so much and I told everybody so. Oh dear. 

But he stayed in the bed anyway. He was listening to his Mister Wellington story. He was not helping me. 

So I did not have anybody to help me with my watching window job.

Emmet was busy with his important story for his far away university and Zita was busy too.

She had to find even more nasty weeds. And take them all away. 

So I had to watch everything by myself. That is not all right.

But we had very very delicious used pizzas for our in the bedroom dinner.

It was Craig and Zita and Emmet and me. 

Because today was a work until late night for Niamh. 

So Zita will get her at my bedtime in the black go fast car. 

And then everyone will go to their comfy bed for a lovely sleep. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Five

Zita and I got up early this morning so the go fast car could take Niamh to the beautiful clothes store very early today.

But we had our together breakfast before they went to the downtown.

It is not even a bit sunny outside today. Oh well.

Craig had a little sleep in.

Because he had to learn how Mister Wellington beat Mister Napoleon. A long time ago. Oh dear.

Then a man brought beautiful flowers to our house. They were from auntie Jane. Goodness me. 

Because today is Craig and Zita’s special anniversary day. All day long. Oh my goodness me. 

I forgot all about it. Oh dear. Maybe I am getting old too. Oh well. 

They were married a long long time ago. When my friend Zita was very young. 

But Craig was not even so young then. Too bad for him. 

It was before I was born. Or even Emmet or Niamh. My goodness me. 

They were married in Mister Tom’s church. But he was not there.

Auntie Eileen was there. But not any of our Irish cousins. I do not know why. 

And after the church they went back to their old house for a giant outside party. Ha.

With a giant cake. In a very very big tent. 

And Craig’s old very fast and way too noisy car took them there. Right from the church. Ha. 

Then today after our lunchtime another man brought Zita even more very beautiful flowers. 

And they were from my friend Craig. And me too. 

So I did not forget. That is good. 

Zita’s mother and father talked to her today. And it was not even Sunday.

It was because of special anniversary. That was nice. 

This afternoon I had a very long nap. Right beside Craig on the big comfy bed. 

So I could mind him. 

Because he too busy helping Mister Wellington find Mister Napoleon to mind himself.

I do not know how they got lost. That is silly. 

When Zita and Niamh got home they had lots and lots of especially delicious cupcakes from the special downtown store.

We had some of them before. 

Craig said you cannot have so many because you will just explode all over everywhere. Oh dear. That would be too messy. 

Then Zita and Niamh went to another special store. To get some for special parties pizzas. 

We got three of them. 

So nobody would be starving after dinner.

And we are having a special dinner tonight. For our anniversary. 

Because Craig and Zita have been married for a long time. Ha. 

So we are having a just for us party. That is good.

Sometimes people do not stay married and their dogs have to go to two houses. I would not like that. 

That is why we are having our party. Because we are our own family. It is known. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Four

Zita only had a very little sleep in this morning.

But I had a nice little sleep in. 

And when I was all awake we went for a not so very long walk. 

My nice doctor Waller told me I can only go for little walks until my leg is all better again.

But I do not have to have a fat cast on my leg. Only Craig has to have one. Too bad for him. Oh dear. 

Emmet and Niamh had nice little sleep ins.

But Craig had a very long lay in bed sleep in.

Because his new book is very interesting. 

It is all about a long time ago when nearly everybody go sick and died. 

Because they did not have the do not get sick shots. Oh goodness me.

That is why everybody in my family is full up with shots. Ha. Good for us.

This morning Zita and professor Jill went to see the nice farmers up on our busy street.

And buy their very delicious vegetables and tasty treats too. 

Zita had not visited the farmers for a long time. But now she has had her very own shots. Ha.

When she got home she had a very very big box of brand new delicious strawberries. 

From right here. Not from somewhere far away. That is good. So they are brand new strawberries. Ha. 

And she found the nice lady who makes the fat Scotsman’s scones.

So now we have a nice bag of fat scones. 

And then Craig was all fast awake.

Because you cannot eat toasty warm scones when you are fast asleep. 

So then I helped him to eat our together lunch. With the strawberries too. That was a tasty lunch..

And Zita talked to auntie Eileen today. On her telephone. 

But all our far away in Ireland cousins do not have any do not get sick shots. 

I do not know why. Oh my goodness me. That is not all right. 

This afternoon Zita went outside to make our very beautiful garden neat and tidy.

But not for such a long time. 

Because it is still a bit too hot outside day. 

So she came back in our cool house and helped me look out our windows. That was very nice.

But Emmet went for a very long all over everywhere walk. Even in the a bit hot.

He likes to go up to the busy street and sit on the very big hill and listen to his very interesting programs. 

Before Craig got in his go fast chair Zita had a lovely squeaky clean shower. 

Then I had to remind him that it was my own dinnertime. Ha. Good for me. 

This afternoon Niamh and he fast bicycle went to Miss Anna’s apartment.

So they could watch a very big kick the ball all around game. I do not know why. 

That is not such a very good game because they do not let even very nice dogs play. 

And dogs are very very good at catching balls. That is not so very fair. 

So Craig and I played catch the ball by ourselves in our side yard. Ha. Too bad for them. 

So we had lots of very delicious used food for our altogether dinner this evening. 

After Emmet and Niamh were back home.

Then we sat at the dining room table for a long time and laughed a lot.

It is very hard to have a nice under the table nap when everyone laughing. Oh well. 

We watched the messy detective last night. 

But I fell fast asleep so I do not know who got caught. Oh well. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Three

Zita and I did not get up so early today. 

That is good.

Because if we were up early this morning we would have had to share our together breakfast with Niamh. Oh goodness.

When she got home it was a full of sunshine day out side. 

She and her friends had a late at night picnic. In a back yard. Until past morning time.  My goodness.

After our breakfast Zita talked to her mother and father in far away Dublin for a long time.

So I had a lovely in the living room nap. 

And Craig got up a bit early so he could have his coffees with his old friends. On the computer.

I saw everybody too.

Because he still had not finished the two croissants from our together breakfast. 

So I had to help him with the very crunchy ends. Ha. I am always a very big help.

At lunchtime Zita and the go fast car took Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. Oh dear me. She was nearly all awake. 

Today she has to stay until late and get the store as neat and tidy as can be. And then lock it all up. Too bad for her.

She will be too sleepy when she gets home tonight. Ha. 

Today Emmet is all better again. That is good. 

So he went for an all over walk. 

But not a far away walk. 

Because you still get very tired after that shot. 

Maybe she will just sit under his very favourite tree in our park and have a nap. Maybe.

Because it is a very beautiful full of sunshine day today. 

That is the best kind of day. 

But when he came home and had his Irish tea he went downstairs and had a nice nap.

Because he was a bit too tired. 

This afternoon Zita went to a store to get some very big bags of special keep the nasty weeds away stuff. 

It is for our new very beautiful garden. 

Because our garden is only for beautiful flowers and lovely plants. Not any nasty weeds. 

When Craig got in his go fast chair he got me my dinner right away. 

And I had the special from far far away Greece cheese right on top. Ha. That was a good dinner. 

Then I minded Craig and Emmet when Zita went to visit our friend Miss Brenda. In our old back yard.

Mister Rob is in the nasty food hospital because of too many headaches. Oh my goodness. 

So Zita went to have a nice chat with her. Right under the beautiful tree my family planted a long time ago.

Now it is a very big tree. Ha. 

When Zita came home it was time to cook our delicious hamburgers. Right on our outside stove. 

Hamburgers are very tasty treats for dogs. And healthy too. It is known. 

We will only watch a bit of our detective program tonight. 

Because Zita will go and bring Niamh home. 

Because it will be nearly our bedtime when she locks the store all up tight. 

Then maybe we will go to fast asleep. Maybe. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Two

We had a very quiet day today.

But we got up early so the go fast car could take Niamh downtown to her work.

Emmet was up early too. 

Because it was his day too talk to his Professor John. In way far away England.

But Emmet was not feeling so well. Because of his shot.

So after his talking he went and had a very nice nap on his very comfy bed.

Zita had to talk to a rascal lady for a very very long time this morning so I was just her very quiet helper.

And Craig was just listening to his new book. 

So it was a very quiet day today. 

Sometimes very quiet days are the very best days too. 

There was not even a little bit of sunshine this morning. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

But we did not have any more windy rain. That was good. 

Now my pond is full right up to the top. Ha. 

At lunchtime Zita went to the very tasty bread store. So we can have good morning toasts. 

Sometimes even with special delicious jams. From far away places. Those are very good jams. 

And she found some giant croissants too. Ha. Toasty warm croissants are my my very favourite breakfasts. 

Then Zita and I went for a little walk. Just around here. 

Because it was a fat clouds sunny afternoon. That was a surprise. 

The present man brought Craig a brand new book. All about a nice nurse who is a detective too. 

In the middle of the war nobody wanted. Oh dear me. 

That was not such a good place to be a detective. Oh goodness me.

Emmet only came upstairs to make his tea. Because he is not feeling so well after his shot.

Just like Craig and Zita and Niamh. 

Then he went back to his comfy bedroom to have a big relax. That was a good idea. 

Craig and I went into the side yard and we played catch the ball. That was a good idea. 

We had a very tasty dinner but Niamh was a little bit late.

Because she was at a park talking to her friends.

But we waited for her.

Because we are very kind. 

And we did not want her to just forget to have any dinner at al. Ha. Good for us. 

Last night we watched the messy detective. Right in the den. And we had ice cream. 

Sometimes I get to lick the bowl as clean as can be. But not if it is a full of chocolate ice cream. 

But chocolate ice cream is not Craig’s favourite. He likes the nearly just white ice cream from far away France. Me too. 

And the too much coffee ice cream too. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy One

We had a very nice quiet day today.

Because Zita and I had to go back to work. So I had to be a bit very quiet.

Before our work Zita drove Niamh to downtown. With the fast as can be bicycle in the trunk.

So Niamh can ride her bicycle home when her work is all finished. 

Craig did not have a very big sleep in at all today.

I got up onto the big comfy bed to keep him company until it was our together breakfast.

We had more baby cinnamon buns. Ha.

Then I went into our office to help Zita. We had a very very long meeting. So I was very quiet. 

Yesterday Niamh was very busy finding all the just right classes for her nice university. 

Because it will start in a not so very long time. Oh goodness me. 

It was not such a very nice day outside today. We had lots of rain last night. And even maybe more today. Maybe.

But all our plants were very happy. 

Emmet was still busy going to his far away meeting and writing his very big story too. He is always very busy with that story. 

He is going to get beautiful glasses. But only when Niamh can go to the store with him. 

So he only gets the just right for him glasses. Ha. That is a good idea.

Last night Kathy’s mother Gramma Mary-Lou fell right down onto the floor. And could not get up so well. 

So now she is in a bit far away hospital. Oh dear. 

So Kathy found an aeroplane plane to take her down to her mother’s city right away. Oh my goodness me. That is all right. 

After lunchtime I had my afternoon nap right in the middle of the hall. 

So I could mind Zita and Craig all at the very same time. That was a good idea. 

I did not mind Emmet. He was still writing in the very comfy chair in the living room. 

That is his very favourite comfy chair.

And his very big lay down flat leather chair in his bedroom. Ha. 

Then he went for his afternoon walk. But it did not rain on him at all.

All afternoon Zita talked to rascal ladies. So I was very quiet. 

Even when Mister Mohammad brought us a present. Good for me. 

Then my friend Emmet walked all the way downtown. To his old other university. 

To get this last do not get sick shot. That was a good idea. 

And when he got home he was only a little bit soggy. Ha.

But Niamh and her very fast bicycle went to have her dinner at Miss Anna’s apartment. In the windy rain. Oh dear. 

So I only have to mind Craig and Zita at dinnertime tonight. 

Because it is Emmet’s dragons game night with his friends.

And for our dinner we had the very delicious from just right here sausages. Sausages are my favourite too.

After dinnertime we went into the den to watch a new detective program. Right in the den. That is just right. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy

It was a very exciting morning at my house today.

Zita got up too early this morning. 

And when she looked out our windows there was a giant raccoon in our garden. Oh my goodness me.

But I did not see it.

Because I was just fast asleep minding Craig. He was fast asleep too. Oh my goodness me.

But when I was all fast awake Zita showed me some pictures. 

That raccoon was even looking at our beautiful flowers. But it did not steal any. 

It was very lucky I was very busy minding Craig. It is known.

Giant raccoons should not come into my garden. Oh my goodness me.

And then Emmet was wide awake too. 

Because of the important far away meetings. 

But he did not see that raccoon. Only Zita saw it. 

There are too many raccoons in our neighbourhood. And even a coyote. Maybe even fierce lions too. Maybe. Oh dear me.

Niamh did not have to go to her work until late this morning. 

So we are going to have a late dinnertime.

So she will not just forget to have any tasty dinner at all. 

At lunchtime Emmet went to up to the busy street. So he could see the very nice doctor just for your eyes. 

And she said that now he needed some glasses. Ha.

Now everybody in my family has glasses except for me. Ha. 

Zita found the very noisy keep the floors clean machine. Oh dear.

I thought maybe she lost it. But she did not.

So she was everywhere with that machine. 

So I went in to keep Craig company so he would not be scared of it either. Ha.

But then Zita stopped.

Because Craig and Zita had to talk to a bank lady.

So Craig’s real money would go in the right places. Not the wrong places any more. Oh dear.

But then she started the machine again. So I went outside.

And Craig did not get into his go fast chair today. He stayed in the big bedroom. 

I think it was because of the noisy machine. Oh dear. 

When the whole house was as spic and span as could ever be it was time for Zita to find Niamh. And bring her back home.

We had our altogether dinner in the big bedroom. We had the very delicious from Mexico food. 

That is good food because there is always lots of extra lettuce. Ha. 

Lettuce is my favourite. Because it is very crunchy.

Last night Craig and Zita watched one of Mister Tom’s programs. 

Right on a special take it with you to watch detective programs machine. 

They put it on lots of pillows so they could both watch it at the same time. Ha. That was a good. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Nine

Zita and I got up early this morning so I did not have a nice sleep in.

Because Niamh had to start work very early this morning.

So the go fast car took her to the downtown.

And Emmet was awake early too. So he could be at his very interesting meeting today. 

But Craig had a nice sleep in so he could listen to his new book. Ha.

When he was all awake we had some very very little cinnamon buns. I do not know why they are so little.

They were so small we had to have four so we would not just be starving. Ha.

At lunchtime I took Zita for a little walk. 

But it was just around our block. 

Because it was still too hot for even nice slow walks. Too bad for us. 

So we came home to our nice and cool house. And I had a nice nap. Ha. 

Emmet was very busy again. He was writing his story and going to his meetings all at the same time.

Because not all the meeting was so very interesting. Just some parts. 

Emmet got a brand new T-shirt. 

Not from his other university, or his very old far way university.  It was from our nice university. Ha. 

And he had it on yesterday when he went to the little in the park party. 

He even has a keep you toasty warm hat with the same picture. It is his very favourite hat. 

When Craig was in the go fast chair he found my dinner. 

And I was so hungry that I did not even wait for a tasty treat. My goodness me.

Today is everybody should eat delicious all fried chicken. 

So Niamh made a very special delicious chicken dinner for us. With lots of tasty things in it. 

Because it is a special recipe from her computer. Ha. So it took a very long time. 

But we did not starve because we had chips. Ha. 

Chicken is my favourite. Ha. Maybe I will get some for my dessert. Maybe. 

We are going to have to find a new detective program to watch. 

Because we watched all of one last night. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Eight

It was still our holiday today. So we only got up a little bit early today.

And after Zita and I had our together breakfast she talked to her way far away in Spain brother.

He brought a brand new house. Right there in way far away Spain. I do not know why.

And Craig was up early too. So he could take the not comfy cast off. Ha.

I was very excited so I got up on the bed to keep him company. And then I helped him eat our toasts. Ha. 

Emmet was up very early this morning.

Because he has to go to an important meeting. An all week long meeting. 

It is a meeting all about the long long time ago. And lots and lots of people tell their interesting stories. Right on the computer. 

And Emmet even knows some of them. They go to other way far away universities. 

Then Craig was wide awake and sitting up. 

Because you cannot drink your too much coffee when you are laying down fast asleep. 

So Zita then went to do lots of errands and I minded Craig and Emmet by myself. 

I stayed in the big bedroom. On my comfy pillow. 

When I was asleep Zita came home and then Niamh was home too. 

Mister Aidan drove her right to our house. Ha. 

She had a very good time at the very beautiful cottage. But she said that she ate too much delicious food. 

And it was Tara and Kathy’s fault. 

Because they cook too much very delicious food. Oh dear me. 

When Craig was all up and in his go fast chair he found a brand new bag of my food. 

And for my dinner he put a little bit of oatmeal cookie on top. Ha. 

Then Craig and I looked out my watching window together.

Before dinnertime Zita and Niamh went to the little other park to have champagne and treats. With our neighbours. 

Because Mister Alexander and Miss Adriana are all finished their university. 

And they went to different universities too. Ha. They even live our our street. I know them. 

And they got presents too. We gave them lots of free especially delicious ice cream. 

From the only makes delicious ice cream store. 

Then Emmet went too. 

After he read me some pages from his giant story. 

I listen to lots and lots of his story. Because I never say anything about it. I just listen. Ha. Good for me. 

Sometimes it is better to be a quiet listener than a loud talker. It is known. 

Craig did not go. So I stayed here to keep him company. 

When everybody got home they were very busy.

Emmet was writing even more and Niamh was doing work for the beautiful clothes store. 

So I was the very best quiet minding dog ever. Ha. Good for me.

We had an altogether dinner tonight. Because Niamh was all back home with me. That was very good. 

We had lots of everybody’s favourite pastas. And green beans too. They are my favourite kind of beans. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Seven

It was sleep in Sunday and Zita and I even had a little sleep in. Ha. Good for us. 

After our breakfast time Zita talked to her parents in way far away Dublin.

They had a little vacation too. In beautiful hotels. 

One hotel even had real pancakes and real maple syrup. Ha. That was a good hotel.

But they did not go swimming in the giant ocean. 

Because of all the very the dangerous whales.

Craig watched the little cars again today. But his car lost. Oh well.

But when the race was all over I helped him eat his toasts with lots of jam.

Niamh is not coming home tonight.

Because she had to catch fish with Mister Aidan. In a boat. Right on the beautiful lake. 

And Niamh does not even like fish. Oh dear me. 

So she is going to stay there for another night in the cottage.

And now it is very beautiful outside. 

It is not even a bit too very hot and it is a sky full of sunshine and sheep clouds.. Ha.

That is just the very best weather for cottages. 

They will make another delicious late at night dinner. And watch everything from Richard’s dock. Ha.

And they have their very own floating dock dragon. Right there at the cottage. Ha. That is a good idea.

We have two dragons but they are not so big. Because they are inside dragons. 

And tomorrow Mister Aidan will drive her back home in his way too fast car. Oh dear me.

This afternoon there was a man playing his very own bagpipes right in our pond park. Oh my goodness me. 

I do not know why he was playing his bagpipes in our park. 

Maybe he cannot play them in his own house. Maybe they are too loud. Oh dear.

And he had a loud motorcycle too. 

But you cannot play your bagpipes and drive your motorcycle all at the same time. 

Or you will just crash. And break everything. Maybe even your legs. Oh goodness me. Everybody knows that. 

When Craig had his little afternoon rest his legs nap I had one too. Ha. Good for us. 

And when were all awake Craig put his fuzzy comfy pants on and got into his go fast chair. 

So we could look out the watching window together. That was a good idea. 

And he got me my lovely dinner. With treats. That was a good idea too. 

And when I was eating my dinner Zita made a beautiful chocolate cake. It was a just because cake.

Just because treats are the very best kind of treats. It is known. 

So I only had to mind Craig and Zita and Emmet tonight at our dinnertime. 

Because Niamh was still having a good time with the Mahoneys at the beautiful big cottage. Oh well.

Emmet went for lots of walks today. Because it was a beautiful day here too. Not just at the cottage. Ha. Good for us too. 

We watched the detective program that we saw before last night. But it is a brand new one. Ha. That was good.

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Six

We had a very nice quiet day today.

Because we were all very busy yesterday.

Zita and I did not get up so early today. 

And when we were all awake we had our together breakfast and looked out our watching window.

Then I got right up on the big bed for a little nap. 

And to remind Craig when it was time to have his breakfast coffees with his old friends. 

He had a sticky croissant bun too. 

But I could not help him eat it today.

Because I was too busy minding Zita. 

She was digging a giant hole to move some very little trees that grow beside our driveway.

And she moved them to a brand new hole. Only a little bit away. 

That is a very big job. 

Because I can not be her very best digging helper. Too bad for her.

Emmet was all awake too. He never has nice sleep ins. 

Because he is always busy writing his important story. 

But he was not writing anything today because it is a do not write anything day. All day. And tomorrow too. Ha.

So today he was just listening to his favourite stories on his telephone. 

It was a relaxing day for everybody. Except for Zita digging the giant hole. Oh well. 

It is not so very hot outside today. It was even sunny this afternoon.

Maybe it was all sunny at the cottage too. Ha. 

Zita did not melt away digging the holes. That is good. 

But she was so dirty when she came in the house she went and had a squeaky clean shower right away. Ha.

Sometimes when I get too dirty I have have an in the bathtub bath.

But I did not have one today.

Because I was not even a bit too dirty at all. Good for me.

When Craig was all awake I had my dinner. Craig always gets me my dinner. 

Because that is his best job. 

Everybody should have their very own favourite job. It is known.

He found some very tasty cheese for the top of my dinner.  It was nearly as old as Craig. 

Very very old cheese is the very best cheese. It is known.

Tonight we had delicious cooked outside steaks. Ha. 

Niamh does not like stakes so much. 

So we have them when she is not here. Maybe it is our secret. Maybe. 

This afternoon Emmet was very busy teaching.

All about his very old stories all about dangerous people in long long time ago Ireland. 

Maybe his friends Mister Cú Chulainn or Mister Cernach. Or even somebody else. Maybe. 

He does not even have to be at his way far away in Ireland university. 

Because he can teach everybody right from his comfy bedroom on both of his computers. All at once. Ha.

And people from all over everywhere ask him questions too. 

Maybe my friend Emmet is famous. Maybe. 

Niamh is still practicing her swimming at the Mahoney’s cottage. 

And cooking giant lovely long dinners with Kathy and Tara. 

Maybe tonight they will have raviolis. Maybe. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Five

We got up a bit early today. Not so very early though. Ha.

Today Emmet went to visit everybody at the Mahoney’s giant cottage.

And to bring Tara her surprise Now You Have Finished University present. Ha.

The go fast car and Zita drove him. 

But not all the way there. 

Because Kathy and the quiet car met them so they could take Emmet to the cottage in the quiet as can be car. Ha.

Then Zita came back home so she could make the garden neat and tidy. 

It takes a very long time to make your garden as beautiful as can be. 

And when you are finished everything has changed and you have to start again. Oh my goodness. 

I just stayed in the house and watched everything from my watching window. 

Miss Tara sent us a picture. Of herself. 

After she opened the surprise presents. And she was crying. 

Oh my goodness me. That is not very all right.

But Craig said it was because she really really was happy to get her make even more delicious raviolis tools. 

He told her he made them all by himself.

But that is not even a little bit true. Mister Lee’s company made them.

But Miss Tara did not even believe Craig at all. Good for her. 

Sometimes he is just silly. I do not know why. Maybe because he is so old. Maybe. 

When Zita came back in the house I helped her make a sandwich for Craig.

Then I had to help him eat it too. I had a very busy afternoon. Ha. 

When Craig got into his go fast chair it was time for Zita to to to the Mahoney’s cottage and find Emmet. 

It is not way far away. 

But the road is very bendy all around and up and down all the time. I would not like that. 

So I minded Craig. That was not so very hard because he likes to look out my watching window too. Ha.

We got another beautiful plant for our garden. 

It is very tall and in the wind it is very wavy. Ha.

Zita says it is grass that got very tall. 

Maybe that store was too scared to have a dangerous cut the grass machine. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Mister Paul came to visit us.

He brought us brand new own made cookies. From his daughter Miss Caroline. She makes especially tasty cookies. 

When the go fast came home Zita and Emmet were in it. Ha. 

So we had our together dinner at the dining room table tonight. 

Everybody had tasty bagels. Except for Craig. He had the used pie for the shepherds. Ha

Then everybody was so tired we went to bed. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Four

I had a very busy day today. Nearly all day.

Everybody was all awake early again. Even when Zita and I are on our little vacation. Oh well. 

Because Niamh and Miss Tarryn had to pack all their lots and lots of food. And beer and wine too. To take to the very big and comfy cottage.

And it all has to fit into the go fast car with Zita and Niamh and Miss Tarryn too. Oh goodness me.

And Emmet was wide awake too. 

Because today Emmet and his friends are played a special only for a little while dragons game. 

And then they played their own very long game too. 

They are playing all day. Because it is our holiday for the county. 

But it is not a happy all day long day this year.

Because we found some little children who went all the way to heaven by themselves. And nobody even told their own parents. Oh dear me.

So now everybody wants to bring them home to their own families. That is a good idea. 

But it is very very sad. 

So we will not have such a very happy holiday this year. Maybe next year. Maybe.

Before Zita and her go fast car took all the ladies to the beautiful cottage Craig was all up and awake.

And he had a very sticky cinnamon bun from nice Mister IKEA’s store for his breakfast.

But those buns are so very big that I had to help him. That is an easy job. Ha.

When Zita and the all full up go fast car were gone to the beautiful lake I stayed here.

So I could to mind the boys and our house. That was a very good idea.

Because those very very loud little fast aeroplanes came right over top of my house again. Three times. Oh goodness me.

But I fierce barked them away every time. Ha. 

So everybody was still as safe as could be when they just flew away. Ha. 

Then I went back in the hose and had a nice nap.

Because chasing aeroplanes away is very hard work. It is known. 

And I was just fast asleep as could be when the go fast car brought Zita home. Oh goodness me. 

But she did not notice. Ha. 

Then Zita went into the garden to make sure all our beautiful plants had enough water.

It was not so very hot outside today. So she did not melt away. 

I went into the bedroom and had a nice long nap right on top of my friend Craig.

He was just listening to very long book. So he did not mind.

But Craig did not get into his fast chair today. 

So he did not have to have the not comfortable cast on all day. That was nice for his leg.

We had fish and lots of own made chips for our dinner. 

We always have that dinner when Niamh is not here.

Because she does not like fishes at all. I do not know why. 

So we had our dinner in the big bedroom and it was only Craig and Zita and I. 

Because of Emmet’s other dragons game. Too bad for him.

I got some very delicious peas.

Because Craig and Zita could not finish theirs. Ha.

And Craig had pecans pie with too much ice cream for his dessert. Ha. 

Maybe we will watch the television tonight. Maybe. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Three

We got up early again today.

Because Zita and the go fast car had to go to the county. To Mister Saint Albert’s delicious cheeses store. 

Because they sell giant pieces of their very delicious cheese. The grocery stores only sell little bits. Too bad for them.

Zita saw all the farmers and their cows too. She said the fields full of brand new corns were all green again. 

Because of our lots of rain. Ha. That is good. 

When Zita was gone in minded everybody else. 

I went into the big bed room lots of times. To tell Craig what I saw out my watching window. 

It is my job. When he is in his broken legs bed. That is my best new job. Ha. Good for me.

And when Niamh was nearly all awake I helped her make a delicious cake. To take to Richard’s and Kathy’s lovey cottage.

But yesterday a big piece of Kathy’s giant tree fell down. At her very near us house. 

Right on the front lawn. 

But it squished their neighbour’s very beautiful garden. And even their front porch too. Oh goodness me. 

That is not so good.

When Zita came home I was very glad to see her. 

Because I think that she should not go where there are smelly cows without me.

Lovely Bouvier dogs are the very best dogs for minding lots of smelly cows. 

So they do not step on people and squish them. It is known. Ha.

Then Mister Paul came to borrow the go fast car. 

So he could go to Mister IKEA’s store and to Mister Lee’s Vally. 

To pickup a secret present for Tara.

Because she moved into a different little apartment. In Toronto with Mister Taylor too. Ha.

We got her two lovely cutters. To help her make her own delicious raviolis. 

Tara makes delicious own made pasta all the time. Just because. Ha.

Now she will be able to make delicious tortellinis as quick as can be. Ha. That is a good present. 

It was still a very hot outside day today.

So Emmet only went for a very little afternoon walk. 

But yesterday way way far away where we have our giant mountains it was our very hottest day ever. Oh goodness me.

I think I would just be a puddle dog if it was so hot here. 

But it was not so hot here today. Just a little bit way too hot.

So Zita went to the front garden to give all our beautiful plants their water. 

Plants do not like the way too hot so much. Me either. 

This afternoon Zita had to do some errands. Because of Craig’s mother’s ear helpers. 

Craig and I had a lovely nap.

When Zita came home Craig got into his fast chair and I woke up. All by myself. 

Then we looked out our watching window and Emmet made our dinner. We had very very tasty meatballs. 

Niamh could not have her dinner with us because she had to work until late tonight.

Because her store is all open again. Oh goodness me. I do not think that is a very good idea. 

Tomorrow she is going to the beautiful cottage and not going to the beautiful clothes store. Ha. That is a good idea. 

You can not go swimming in your too small bathing suit at her work. Ha. Too bad for them. 

There was a noisy giant for fires truck on my street. Right before dinnertime. 

But I fierce barked it away. Ha. 

After dinnertime Zita went to find Niamh and Miss Tarryn. So they can get everything already for their tomorrow adventure.

Maybe Craig will watch the hockey game. But maybe not. His team did not win the last time. 

He thinks they will win if he does not watch. 

Mister Ryder and David will watch the game at their cottage. It is just a bit away from Kathy’s cottage.

So Mister Ryder can come to visit everybody. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Two

We got up very early this morning. Again.

But we did not go for any walks.

Because it was still too hot outside. Even in the early morning time. 

So when Niamh was all awake Zita and the black car took her to her downtown work. 

I stayed here and had a very nice nap in the living room. By myself.

Because all the boys were still fast asleep. Ha.

When the go fast car brought Zita home Emmet was all awake but I could not mind him so much today.

Because Zita and I were very busy with our rascal ladies work.

Because tomorrow we start our very little vacation. Ha.

So we had lots of important work to get all finished up. 

Before our little vacation. 

But I had to stop helping Zita for a little while because then I had to help Craig with his giant croissant again. Ha. 

At lunchtime Zita had to go to a store to get Craig’s mother’s hear better machine fixed.

Because she forgot it and it got all washed up in the clean clothes machine. Oh goodness me.

After our lunchtime I had a very nice very quiet nap in the rascal ladies office. 

We saw the silly bunny rabbit yesterday. I am glad it did not get caught by that coyote.

It is our silly bunny rabbit so I will mind it from that coyote. But it is still a silly bunny rabbit. It is known.

This afternoon I minded Emmet right in the living room. 

And sometimes I went into the kitchen to have a nice nap on the cool floor.

This afternoon Craig put on the very fat cast and got into his go fast chair. That is good.

Because when it is my dinnertime and Craig always knows where the special only for me bagel cheese is. Good for us. 

And Emmet was all finished his writing for today so he went for his little before dinner walk. 

It was only too hot this afternoon not just way too hot. 

Far away where the giant mountains live it was so hot the roads were melted. Oh my goodness. 

It was not so hot here. That is good.

Tomorrow the nice men and their very big garbage truck come to our house.

So I helped Zita get all the garbage into the big roll around cans. For the garbage truck to gobble up. Ha. That is a good truck. 

A whole bunch of very loud fast aeroplanes flew right over my house. Lots and lots of times. Oh dear me.

They were so loud they could not even hear me when I barked loudly at them. Too bad for me. 

We had a very tasty dinner tonight. Zita made us a for shepherds pie. That is our favourite dinner. 

But Niamh missed our delicious dinner. I do not know why. Too bad for her.
