Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Seven

Zita and I went for a lovely together walk this morning. 

And it was a beautiful as could be day today.

We only went around my own streets.

Because I was still a bit tired from my sick tummy. Oh well.

Then it was time for our rascal ladies work.

So we went into our own office so I could be Zita's very best helper.

When Niamh got up she went to visit Cara and Lee’s house.

Because they are all in far away Toronto.

So Niamh went to keep Mister Disney company. 

He is a very little dog and gets a bit scared when he is just all alone. Oh dear. 

That is why Niamh went there. 

So he would not be too scared. And to find his breakfast too. 

My friend Emmet is still very very busy finishing his for Australia story. Oh dear. 

And now he had to start another brand new story. 

For a brand new book. And his name will be on it. 

I did not have breakfast with Craig.

Because I was too busy helping Zita. And I was giving my tummy a little rest too.

At lunchtime Emmet and then Zita went outside into the lovely sunshine.



But Zita went on her still not very fast bicycle to get some tasty food. 

Because we are having own made pizzas for our dinner tonight. Pizzas are my favourite too. 

I stayed here to have my brunch. Ha.

I have brunch when it is too late for me to eat my breakfast time. Oh well.

I got cheesie treats today. 

We put the living room rug back on top of the floor. 

So that is where I had my after brunch nap. 

This afternoon I took Craig outside to my side yard. For a long time. 

And I had a lovely sleep in the lots of sunshine.

And Craig listened to his old music on a little music machine. Ha. 

We stayed for a long time. 



Even though it was almost hot. Ha. 

That was a good afternoon for us. 

My friend Emmet sat on the new swing all afternoon. 

But he did not fall fast asleep. Ha. 

It was a very good day to be outside.

After our altogether pizzas dinner Craig and Zita and I watched our detective program.

In our very comfy den. 

And Emmet went back outside to sit on the comfy swing. 

And look at our beautiful pond.

Niamh and Tarryn went out to have a tasty dessert.

So we all had a big relax. 



And I had a very big sleep. Ha.

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Six

I did not have such a very good morning.

I had a sick tummy.

Because I ate a piece of cloth. And it made me sick.

I tried to get outside to be sick.

But I did not get there in time. Too bad for me. 

But my friends Niamh and Emmet helped me until I felt better.

And my rug was a little bit wet after they cleaned everything all up. Oh dear me. 

So then I had a very long nap in the kitchen.

Having a sick tummy makes me very tired. 

And it was a rain all the time day.. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Niamh went to her lovely store in a car.

Because she was a bit too late to ride her very fast bicycle.

Because of my sick tummy. Oh dear me. 

So I just stayed in the living room to keep my friend Craig company.



And I had a fast asleep relax. 

Craig had a very big peanut butter and honey sandwich for his lunch. 

But I was not hungry. 

I do not get even a bit hungry when I have a sick tummy. Too bad for me.

After a while when it was not raining we went outside and I chewed my old blue ball for a long time.

And when we came in Craig made me a special sick tummy dinner. 

And it was just lots of all toasty warm chicken. And I gobbled it up just like that.

Then Emmet went for his afternoon walk and I went back to my rug for a relax.

When Emmet came home I was a bit hungry.

So Craig gave me a little first dinner and some of my in a can food too. 

But I was so hungry that I asked if I could have some more.

And I asked so politely that Craig gave even more right away. 

Zita said I was the most polite dog ever. Ha. 

Tonight Emmet went to his dragons game with all is university friends. 

And they are nearly all finished the game. Oh my goodness me.

Maybe they will have to make another one. Maybe. 

So Zita and the go fast car took him to his friend’s house. 

And when she got home it was our dinnertime. 

Last night Miss Emily came to visit and she ate all the extra hot dogs.

So she would not starve all away.

Then Niamh made Miss Tarryn’s hair all beautiful. Right in out kitchen.

But Craig and Zita and I watched our lady spy program.

And I had a lovely nap right beside everybody. 

Tonight we watched the spy program again.

And I had another nice nap. With my very favourite pillow. 



And when I was all awake it was our best bedtime. Ha.

That is my favourite time. It is known. 






Wednesday, 18 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Five

We did not have a nice quiet day today.

We were all very busy. 

Except for Craig. When you are retired you are not so busy all the time. Too bad for him.

On our very nice good morning walk Zita and I went to look at the little lake.



And all the beautiful flowers.



And when we got home Zita had a good morning relax on her new swing. Ha.



When Niamh was all awake Zita and Niamh went to the nice university.

So Niamh could get an made just for Emmet stamp for secrets. 

They have special make any thing machines at the university. 

But only for the students at the university. 

So Niamh got it. And they did not know it was for Emmet. Oh dear me. It was a secret. 

Then the go fast car took Niamh to her lovely store.

When Zita came home it was just the right time for Zita and Craig to go on an adventure walk.

And practice with the big front wheel. 

When they got home Emmet was laying down reading in the brand new swing. Ha.



It is a very comfy swing. Zita told me. 

Our very big bushes are all full of flowers. And they are the beautiful smelly flowers. Ha.


Then I went to have my nails done. Just like my friend Niamh.

But I had to get in the black car. 

I do not like the car when it is moving. I just like to sit in it. When it is in my driveway. 

But the beautiful nail store was only a very little way away. 

And the ladies said I was a very lovely polite dog. They were very quick.

So I was home nearly before I left. Ha. 

But my nails are just the same colour. Niamh’s are always brand new colours. Oh well.

Maybe next time Zita will tell them I need beautiful coloured nails too. That would be a good present for me. 

When we were home Zita went outside to take away all the nasty weeds from our garden. 



I stayed in the house so I could mind the boys. Ha. That is an easy job.

But then Craig asked me to help him pick a new book to read.

Because he finished the one where the city does not have streets just wet canals. 

So we looked at lots of not yet all finished books in the den. 

But we could not make up our minds. Too bad for us. 

Our own Prince was in my city today. 

And he went to a church to talk to Mister God about the very brave people fighting in way far away. 



That was a good idea. 

Those people are using giant canons we gave them to help save their own country. Ha. 



That was a very good present. 

Then Zita and Emmet went in the go fast car to find some very special wax for his brand new stamp. 

It is not for candles wax. It is for secret letters wax. Oh my goodness me.

Maybe Emmet is a spy. Oh my goodness me.

Craig’s father started all our spies. Oh dear. 

I did not know that. Nobody told me. Maybe it is still a secret. Maybe. 

Spies have lots of secrets. It is known. 

I do not have so many secrets. Oh well.

But I have a very comfy rug in the kitchen for my afternoon naps. Good for me.

I also had a lovely outside sleep after lunchtime.

Because it was a very beautiful sunny day today. 



And not too hot either. 

Then I came in the house so I could watch for Zita from my window. 

And just like that she and Emmet were back home. 

And Zita went back outside to find more nasty weeds. Ha.

I watched everything from my watching window. 

This afternoon a man brought us a box all full up with food for me. And it was in a can.

Just like soups or paint the walls paint. 

But it was very tasty just for dogs tasty meat. 

And I had some right on top of my first dinner. And I ate it right up. Ha. 

We had own made cooked outside hamburgers for our altogether dinner tonight. 

Then it was time to watch the lady spy. 

She is very dangerous. And she bought a very old house in far away Italy. 

So she could have pastries filled up with whipped up cream every morning with her little coffees. Ha.

But the house has a very big hole in the roof. That is not so all right. All her clothes will get soggy.

Maybe she should find Mister Charlie and Mister Vinnie. 

They are very good fixers. That would be a good idea. 




Tuesday, 17 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Four

Not even one of us had a sleep in today. Oh well.

Because everybody had a busy day. 

Except for Craig. But he got up early anyway. I do not know why. 

So after our very long walk Zita went to her other office.

Because it is downtown Tuesday for Zita. 

And it was a go to the lovely store day for Niamh.

I think Emmet had to write another interesting story. 

So everybody was all awake at the same time.

It was not a too hot day today. 

It was just an all the time cloudy day. And sometimes it was rainy too.

But we did not hear any awful thunder. That was good.

I got a little bit of Mister Kettleman’s special for bagels cheese on my breakfast. 

Then I had my after breakfast nap. 

So we had a very quiet day today.

At lunchtime it was just raining all over everywhere.



It was not even a bit nice enough for us to have our outside lunch. 

So Craig asked a nice man to bring us a hamburger. 

And he did. Ha.

He was a very big man but it was not such a very big hamburger. Oh well.

But it had some bacon on it too.

And I got a bit of tasty bacon on my own lunch. 

But it was a very small bit. Oh well.

Emmet came upstairs and made lots of his Irish tea.

So he was very busy writing his interesting story.

He told me that it is the new story for the people in way way far away Australia. Oh dear me.

That is very far away. They have lots of dangerous animals there. 

Even very giant spiders.

So it is good that they are very far away. It is known. 

I just stayed on my comfy rug and had a relax.


Niamh did not have her dinner with me.

Because tonight is the night for the hard questions restaurant. Oh well.

We had pastas with very tasty meatballs and green beans too. 

I got some on top of my dinner. Ha.

Then it was time to watch a brand new detective program.

When we were watching the spies program last night we had a little bit of Niamh’s own made made of cheese cake. 

It was so delicious we had to put it away in the refrigerator.

So we would not just eat it all up. Oh my goodness me. 




Monday, 16 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Three

It was go back to work Monday again.

So we did not have any sleep ins before we went on our good morning to everything walk.

To look at all the beautiful flowers in my neighbourhood. 



And even some very beautiful trees too.

It was not way too hot today. That was nice.

So when we got back home Zita and I went into our office. 

Because that is where we do our rascal ladies work.

We had a very quiet day today.

Because it is just us here. 

And there is only just us for me to mind. 

So I can have lovely naps. Ha.

I did not have breakfast with Craig this morning.

Because I was too busy helping Zita. Too bad for him.

And Emmet made his own breakfast and then he listened to a not even a bit right story. 

From way far away Italy. Oh dear. That was silly.

And then Niamh went out to do an errand but she came back before I was all awake.

At lunchtime Zita went for a by herself walk. So she did not have to remember silly people. Oh dear.

I nearly did not eat my lunch. 

But Niamh said I would get a sick tummy if I did not have any lunch.

So then I ate it. 

When lunchtime was over Zita and I went back to work.

But Niamh was in the kitchen with lots and lots of bottles making a delicious lunch for herself.

I could smell it even when I was fast asleep. Ha. 

Miss Alice still does not have her all lost suitcase. Maybe somebody stole it. 

Maybe it was Pyrates. 

Colonel Dugal says that is what Pyrates do. Oh my goodness me.

That is why he has a very pointy sword and a pistol. Because of the Pyrates. Oh my goodness me. 

Maybe it was those Pyrates who stole the sign from my corner. I think it was. Oh my goodness me.

I will tell my friend Emmet.

Emmet has a very big canon that Craig made him. It is in his bedroom.

Pyrates are afraid of canons. 

Because of Her Majesty’s Navy. Dugal told me. Ha. Good for us. 

This afternoon Craig read his book in the den. 

So I stayed right beside him so he would not be lonely.



That was a very easy job for me. 

Then it was very very dark outside and there was more lots of rain.

But Craig and I were all cosy as could be. Right in our own den. 

Even when I heard some far away thunder. Ha. Good for us. 

Before dinnertime Niamh made a delicious made of special cheese cake. And it was just for us.

Miss Tarryn came here to help her. And maybe have some for dessert too. Ha. 

We had delicious roll ups with chicken and cheese. Ha.

We could not have the very delicious own made cheese cake.

Because you have to wait for a long time after it all cooked before you can eat it. Oh well.

So we watched a movie all about dangerous spies. 

Until the cake was already. 




Sunday, 15 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Two

It was sleep in Sunday but Zita and I did not have a nice sleep in.

Because we wanted to go for our good morning walk.

We did not go to our little to see the beautiful flowers.

Because Zita said that there would be too many people there.

And we would get all squished. Oh dear me.

So we went all over my own neighbourhood instead. 

It was not way too hot today. 

Then after our breakfast Zita and I went into our garden to dig up the way too many dandelions. Ha.

I was a very big help. 

Then we were bored and went in the house.

So Zita could talk to her parents in way far away Dublin.

Today is our cousin Emma’s sing happy birthday day.

So Zita’s parents are going to Auntie Eileen’s house for a cake party.

And Zita’s mother made a special cake for her. Ha.

Miss Alice’s aeroplane found Dublin all by itself but her suitcase did not. Oh my goodness me.

So she had to take the train home without all her lovely presents. Oh my goodness me. That is not all right. 

And in the middle of the night some nasty people stole the sign from my corner. That is not all right.

We will have to get another one. Maybe even bigger. Ha. 

When Craig was all awake Zita took Emmet to Miss Morgan’s sing happy birthday party.

And play their dragons game too. 




Even another birthday today. Oh my goodness.

Then it was just the right time for my before lunchtime nap.


I have a very comfy living room rug. 

When Zita came home we had more coffees and our together toasts too. Ha.

Then Niamh came home. And Miss Tarryn and Miss Sash too.

They came home to build our brand new outside swinging sofa. 



The one Zita got for her birthday. That was a good present. 

But then there was lots of rain. 



So they had a swing in the lots of rain. Ha.

And then they had to put the top on Miss Sash’s Jeep. Oh my goodness.

Then they were as soggy as could be. Too bad for them.

But then there was lots of scary nasty too loud thunder. 



So I went to keep Zita company. So she would not be very scared. 

And when Zita went to find Emmet Niamh and Miss Tarryn and Miss Sash came upstairs.

So I could mind them.

We went in the den to watch a movie with me. 

Then they were not scared either. Good for me. 

When Zita and Emmet came home Emmet went for a big nap.

Because he was way busy for lots of time.

So now was too tired. Oh well. 

When the rain was all gone Zita and Niamh finished building the swinging sofa. Ha.

And then they sat on it. That was a good idea.



But then Niamh was tired too.

And she had to have a squeaky clean bath.

So only Craig and Zita were upstairs for our own made tasty bagels sandwiches. 

And when we were all finished it was just the right time to watch our detective program. Good for us.



Saturday, 14 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty One

Zita and I got up early today.

So we could go and visit our little lake and all the beautiful flowers.



Before the way too hot found us. 

Because it was another very hot day today.

And when we got there there were even lots of people there.

Taking pictures of the beautiful flowers. 

And it was even before everybody’s breakfast. Oh my goodness me.

When we got home Zita and I had a lovely together relax before everybody was all awake. 

When Niamh was all dressed the go fast took her to the lovely store.

Then Zita went downtown to find Miss Alice a nice going home present. Ha.

Because it is today that Miss Alice is going to go back to her job in way far away Cork. Oh my goodness me.

When Zita came home a Craig was all awake too so we had our coffees and croissants outside in my side yard.

I got a nice bit of croissant. Ha. 

Then Emmet and Miss Alice came upstairs for their toasts and lots of tea. 

This morning it was too hot for me to eat my breakfast so Craig helped me have my lunch. 

He put Mister Kettleman’s bagel cheese on top of everything. Ha.

Then Zita went outside to make our garden neat and tidy. Even in the way too hot.



I stayed here in the house so I could mind her out my watching window and not get too hot.

Zita had to put brand new water in the little birds outside bathtub.

Because the water got too hot for them. Oh my. 

Zita only stayed out for a little while. Because of the too hot.



Then she came inside for a nice drink.

So she would not just melt into a puddle. 

Then it was time for the go fast car to take Zita and Emmet and Alice to our aeroport. 

Now I think Emmet will be sad. Oh dear me. 

I stayed here and had my afternoon nap. And minded Craig all at the same time. 

When Zita and Emmet got home Emmet had an before dinnertime nap. 

Because tonight Emmet has to go to another party. 

Miss Morgan and Mister Mike are going to tell everybody they are going to get married. 

To each other. Oh my goodness me.

Zita got them a surprise delicious cake for the party. Ha. 

So after our dinner she drove Emmet to the party.

 So the beautiful delicious cake would not be all squished. Ha.

Niamh did not have her dinner with us 

Because she went to Miss Linsey’s and Mister Ben’s house for dinner. 

So when Zita got back home I had a nice nap when we watched our detective program.

Until Zita went to bring Emmet back home so we could go to our comfy beds. Ha.

That was a good idea.  


Friday, 13 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty

I had a nice quiet day today.

Because it is another too hot day today.

Zita and I went for our good morning walk before the hot could catch us. Ha.

Then it was time for our rascal ladies work. 

Craig did not have even a little sleep in.

Because a nice nurse came to fix Craig’s bandage on his other foot. 

Then Niamh and her very fast bicycle went to visit her listening friend. 

And it was very hot outside. Oh my goodness.



Then Emmet and Miss Alice were all awake too.

Because today they went to the very beautiful pictures museum. 

The go fast car took them there. Because of the too hot. 

Miss Alice melts very quickly because she is from way far away Ireland. Oh dear me. 

Then Niamh was back home and she was nearly melted all away. Oh my goodness me.

So she went downstairs to her bedroom where it is nearly cold. Ha.

After I had my lunch I helped Craig eat his ginger snap cookies. They are very tasty cookies.

We looked out the window and I saw that our very big bushes have some of their all over flowers.



When they are covered in flowers they smell as beautiful as can be. Those are good bushes.

Craig told me that there is a real Princess right in my own neighbourhood. 

To say hello to everybody who wants to see all the beautiful tulips. And plant even more. 



Because her country gives them to us every year.

Because a long time ago some very nasty people stole her country. 

And it was lots and lots of our soldiers who went way over there to gave it back to her. 

Now every year her country gives us so many beautiful flowers to say thank you. That is very nice. 

But she did not come to my house. I do not know why. 

We have beautiful tulips too. Oh well. Too bad for her.



Then I went outside to my side yard to keep Niamh and Zita company. And to chew on my big blue ball. Ha.

But I got too hot again and had to come in the house. Too be all cool again.



Mister Paul came over for a little outside visit. But not for too long.

Because Craig got a bit too hot. So he came back inside. Oh dear.

Zita and Niamh went to the busy street to get wine and even some beers.

Because Lee and Cara and Mister Lyndon and Miss Bruna are going to visit us.

And have before dinnertime chips and beers with us. 

And maybe even some cheese.

Because everybody in the whole world like cheese. Especially me. 

Then Zita and Niamh went downtown to find Emmet and Miss Alice.

So they would not be all melted away. 

I stayed here so I could mind Craig in our cool house. And not get too hot. Ha.

We even had treats on our dining room table. Ha.


But when everybody came here they talked for a very very long time. 

So I had my dinnertime nap. 



But in the living room so I could mind everybody.

Then when everybody was gone Mister Tony’s friend brought us two very delicious big pizzas. 

We do not even have to tell Mister Tony where we live. 

Because he knows us already. That is nice. 

We did not watch the detectives tonight. Because we had a very late dinnertime.

And tomorrow Miss Alice is going back to way far away Ireland. On some aeroplanes.

All the way to Dublin and then find the very slow bus to Cork. That is a very long trip. 








Thursday, 12 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Nine

I had a very quiet morning today.

Zita and I had a very nice walk before it got too hot outside.

We went and saw the beautiful flowers at our lake. 

And there were lots of bunny rabbits there too. Oh my goodness me.



And when we got home our own bunny rabbit was in our own front garden garden. Oh dear me. 



Then Zita had her breakfast but I was not so hungry so I waited for our toasts with my friend Craig. Ha.

Today was a downtown day for Zita so Craig did not have a sleep in.

The sign people and their big trucks were here again today. Oh well.

Emmet and Niamh and Miss Alice had sleep in this morning.

Because they were very busy yesterday. 

I did not have my morning nap outside this morning.

Because it was already too hot for nice naps.



So I stayed inside my cool house. Ha.

Until Niamh came upstairs and I kept her company when she sat in the comfy outside chair. 

This morning Emmet and Miss Alice went to our little lake.

So they could visit all the beautiful from far away Holland tulips.



Even in the too hot. Oh my goodness me.

There are beautiful flowers all over my neighbourhood. 



Even near Professor Jill’s house too. Ha.

Niamh had a squeaky clean shower this morning. But it was not a hot as could be shower.

Because it was a too hot day today. 

Then Niamh went to watch old movies with Miss Lily and the other Mister Aidan. 

I had an outside nap because my stones were all toasty warm.  

But I got too hot again.

So I came in and had my very tasty lunch with chicken on top. Ha.

Then I went to the living room to help Craig watch the sign people. That was an easy job for us. 

Then I had my afternoon nap on the new very soft living room rug. 

When Emmet and Miss Alice came home they were almost all melted away. Oh my goodness. 



But our machine made our house nice and comfy cool. 

So I had my long afternoon nap in the dining room. 

So I could see when anyone went outside. Ha.



Emmet and Miss Alice went to the dragons game for their dinner tonight. At Miss Morgan’s and Mister Mike’s house. 

Zita drove them in the go fast car so they would not melt. That was a good idea.

And Niamh went to taste different wines at her friend’s restaurant for her dinnertime.

So I only had to mind Craig and Zita at dinnertime tonight. That was an easy job. 



Wednesday, 11 May 2022

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Eight

I had a very busy morning. 

Zita and I got up very early today.

Because I had a sick tummy. 

Maybe I caught it from my friend Emmet. Maybe.

Or maybe I ate some leafs. Maybe. 

So Zita and I went for a very lovely very early all over walk. 

All the way to our little lake where they are getting everything already for the beautiful tulips party. 

We did not see everybody because everybody was all asleep. 

And then Zita and I had our breakfast outside in our side yard. Ha.

We put up our special keep the nasty bugs out side door. Ha. 

I do not like bugs at all. 

And we put Zita’s grass chopping machine together. She got for Merry Christmas. Ha. 





When we were finished we went to our front yard and I helped her make the garden beautiful.

But I could not dig any nice holes. Too bad for me.

Then I got into the go fast car so I could mind Zita when she made the grass not so long. 



She used the dangerous chop off toes machine. That is why I stayed all safe in the car. Ha.

Then Emmet and Niamh and Miss Alice were all awake. And then just like that Craig was all dressed too.

The go fast car drove Niamh to her lovely store because it is a hot day today.

And today Craig and Zita went for an adventure walk up to the busy street. 



So they could have donuts and coffee outside in the beautiful sunshine. Ha.

I stayed here to mind the house. 

The people and their trucks are here again today. But they are not even a bit noisy.



So I had a nice outside nap until Craig and Zita came back home.

Today Miss Alice went to visit her uncle who lives in a not not too faraway town.

The go fast car took Zita and Emmet and Miss Alice there. 



And Zita waited there so she could bring them home. Oh my goodness me.

I just stayed here to mind Craig. 

At lunchtime we turned on the keep the house cool machine. 



Because it was going to be a hot day. 

And Miss Alice does not know so much about hot days.

Because she is from way far away Ireland where they have lots of not even a bit hot rain. 

So we are going to keep her all nice and cool. Ha. 

And I had a very nice after lunchtime nap on the cool floor in the kitchen. Ha. That was good. 

After Craig had his chocolate croissant for lunch he was just reading his new detective book. 

It is in the city with only canals instead of street. Oh my goodness.



If you just walk out your front door you will just go splash right into the water. Oh my goodness me.

I would be a all the time soggy dog. Oh dear me. 

Mister Tom brought us some brand new detective programs to watch.

And I did not even bark one time. Good for me. 

Maybe because I was very fast asleep on my comfy rug. Maybe. 


And the present man brought us a secret present for Zita. For her happy birthday.

It was from Craig. But it was a bit late. Oh well.

My present was not even a bit late. Ha. Good for me.

Zita and Emmet and Miss Alice had their dinner in the a bit far away town.

So Craig made dinner for us. All by himself.

And we had a giant ham sandwich with lots of delicious cheese. And chips too. 



I got some of everything. Ha.
