Day Two Hundred and Twenty Six

Niamh has a sore mouth and a sore throat. She can only eat ice cream. She told me so.

I had a hard walk. The snow is too deep. I get stuck in it. It is not fun.

The man who takes away the snow brought a big tractor machine to help him. It had a huge tub for snow. We have way too much snow.

When Zita was in way far away Ireland they had snow too. That is not right. It is very cold in Ireland because they do not have basements. Emmet could not live in Ireland. It is known

Castles have basements but they are full of ghosts Emmet says. I am not afraid of ghosts. I am a bit afraid of the basement stairs. Oh well.

I found my other Red Ball under the snow. That is good.

Zita is very busy with her writing big tests. I helped her a lot. I had a nice nap on my warm duvet. That is good.

Craig is reading another book all about the Romans. And drinking coffee slowly.

He had porridge and scones for breakfast. It is his day to pretend to be a Scotsman. Ha.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Five

We are all happy.

All my people are home where they are supposed to be. That is good.

I had a nice sleep. We got up early and had a nice walk before it started to snow.

Zita is writing again so I can help. That is good. My duvet is very warm.

It is snowing again.

Craig will not come out and throw my Red Ball. He says it is too snowy. He is afraid of the snow I think. Ha.

Lorraine came today. She threw my Red Ball. She is not afraid of the snow. She has a farm with cows.

When Emmet came home he was covered in snow.

I can not find one of the Red Balls. It is in the snow somewhere. Oh well.

When the nice man come to take away all the snow maybe he will find it.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Four

Soon is today.

Craig went out and when he came back Zita was in the car.  She is back from away far away. That is good.

Everything is back to where it should be. That is good.

Zita is taking me for a walk. That is good. It is known

No room on the bed. That is good.

She said I am much furrier than when she left. She was gone a long time. I was sad.

Night night.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Three.

Niamh and Emmet are back to school. That is good. I like things to be the way they are supposed to be.

Except Zita is not here to take me for my walks. That is sad. Niamh took me to the garden last night. That was good. We saw Mr. Fluffy the cat. I ignored him.

It was nice today.

Craig threw my Red Ball when he was not drinking his coffee. He is slow drinking his coffee.

He ate all of his morning cake with the icing. Now he has none.Too bad for him.

He said he was using polish on some of Zita's and Emmet's essays.

He did not do that. He just sat at his computer while I waited patiently for him to throw my Red Ball. He gets confused because he is old. I am not old.

After lunch, after Emmet came home he read his book in the bedroom so I could sleep on my warm duvet and watch. That is good.

Emmet is nearly finished his I dont like this kind of poetry essay. He will be glad when that is over. Oh well.

Emmet says soon is very soon. Who knows. People are silly.

Day Two Hundred and Twenty Two

We got up late. It is Sunday when people get to rest. Not dogs. Sundays are l have my breakfast late day. Oh well.

Niamh and I went for a walk. I was perfect. I did not have to use the choke-me-to-death collar. I jumped in all the puddles. We met Zorro again. He is a shy dog. We had a great time. Niamh and I were both very happy. I got very wet. Oh well.

Niamh is gone all day to be an Enchanted Ball helper. I do not know what colour an enchanted ball is. I do not know why it needs helpers. They should tell me. I am in charge. Zita said so.

Zita is still in away far away. Sometimes I forget and look for her. Emmet says she will be home soon. I do not know how long soon is. Oh well.

Emmet is still writing about bad poems. It is hard he said.

Craig went to the bake-me-good-stuff store. They will not starve again. That is good.

Niamh is going to watch the television about who has the nicest dresses tonight. I will help her. 

Day Two Hundred and Twenty One

More snow. Not a lot of snow. Craig says he is tired of snow. I am a bit tired of snow too.

Niamh and I went for a walk this morning. We met Jamie. That was nice.

Niamh is at her dance-al-day day. Niamh likes to dance. Me too.

Emmet slept all day. Silly Emmet.

Craig and I played throw the red Ball many times. It is not too cold. That is good.

Niamh has to come home early. Her dance teacher is sick. Craig says they will go out for dinner. Oh well. Not me though,

Day Two Hundred and Twenty

I am a bit sad today.

Zita is still in away far away. When I go to sleep at night there is too much room on the bed. I do not like that.

I like to be at the bottom of the bed so I can rest my head on Craig and Zita's legs. There are not enough legs. That is not right.

Craig put my warm duvet on the bed. That is good. I had a long nap.

Craig threw my Red Ball a lot. That was nice.

Emmet was going to take me for my walk but I did not want to go. I stayed on my bed. Emmet even picked me up but I want things to be back the way they are supposed to be. It is known

Maybe I will go for my walk later.

It is not so cold out.

Emmet finished another of his essays. He came up to talk to me. He said he only has one more to do. It is all about poetry that does not rhyme. That is not poetry. That is just writing short sentences. It is known.

Tomorrow will be better. 

Ollie's people brought over some food so Craig and Emmet and Niamh would not starve. That is good.

We still have lots of green beans. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Nineteen

I know why Zita had to go to away far away.

I heard Emmet and Niamh talk about it. I am a good listener.

Niamh and Emmet's cousin Emma is having a very big Irish day. She gets to go to church, have a new costume and have a party.

I do not get to go to church. We walk by our church sometimes. It is very big. Maybe Emma will see St. Newton at her church. Tilly would like that.

Emmet took me for my walk again today. We go for late walks.

Emmet is nice to walk with. He always talks to me. Some times we see very scary noisy machines. We go to the other side of the street. That is good.

Jessie is going to come over tonight to help Niamh find the polar bears on her maps. I thought Jessie only knew dragons. Oh well.

Craig is making a pie so they will not starve.

Day Two Hundred and Eighteen

The nice man came and shovelled the snow in my yard so I will not lose my Red Ball. That is good.

Uncle Bill came over last night with his sausages. Too spicy for me Craig says.

Emmet and Craig and Uncle bill laughed a lot. They always laugh. I do not know why they laugh. It does not mater. They are funny.

Lorraine came to day. She is a nice lady. She likes to throw my Red Ball. I let her. It is good.

Emmet is going to Sue's Make Me Beautiful Store for a haircut.

He says he is getting to look too much like me. I like to look like me. Silly Emmet.

I got a bit upset when he left. I am a bit afraid he may be going to away far away too. Craig said he was just going up the street. I hope so.

They are very difficult. I do not think Zita remembered to tell them I was in charge when she is in away far way. Oh well. I will try my best. It is hard being a dog.

Emmet is nearly finished his essay about finding Gettysburg. Then he he can sleep all day and play on his computer he says. Emmet has too many computers. He can not see his desk.

Niamh has too many clothes. She can not see her floor. Oh well.

It is very windy out. Craig says I need a head band to keep my ears from flapping. He is a silly man. It is known. I like my ears flapping.

Day Two Hundred and Seventeen

A snowy day.

We got up early. Niamh needs my help waking up. I jump on her bed and dig the covers off. She likes this Craig says.

We threw the Red Ball a lot today. That is good.

We saw Jamie and Zorro playing in the snow. They really like the snow. I like the snow. Not as much as them.

Emmet took me for my walk when he got up. He gets up very late. Oh well.

He is still writing all about finding Gettysburg.He says some generals are very silly. He is very upset about a Sickles General. If he was sick he should have been at home. Maybe that is why he was so silly. Emmet does not like that kind of silly. Too many people die. It is known

Niamh is all a dance tonight. Craig and Emmet are going to have Mr. Tony's pizza. They like pizza. That is good.

I remembered that Zita is still away far away and did not look for her this morning. Oh well. It will be OK.

Day Two Hundred and Sixteen

It was a nice day. I was not so lonely today.

Niamh took me for a nice walk. It is still cold.

When we came home Niamh and Cara and Emily gave me a bath. Niamh said I was smelly. I was not. Niamh's shampoo is smelly. I do not smell like that.

Now I am all clean and beautiful. 

Emmet is still writing and eating cookies.

I did not sleep on my warm duvet in my bedroom. Zita is not there writing so there is no one to help. It does not feel OK so I do not take my naps there.

I went in to the den. Craig put one of the special pillows on the blue sofa and I had a long nap. He read his book. There no dogs in this book he said. Just people. Oh well.

After my dinner I looked for Zita again. I forget she is gone away far away. I cry a bit but Craig says it will be OK. Then I get a carrot treat.

Craig is making chicken tonight. Ha. There will be beans he said. That is good.

I helped with dinner and I got bean treats. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Fifteen

We will not starve. That is good.

Craig and Niamh went out and came back with bags and bags. They brought back a million kilos of green beans for me.

Chocolate milk and cookies for Emmet.

Ice cream and yogourts for Niamh.

Craig only got croissants, scones and a pie. Oh well. Too bad for him. I got beans. And another bag of carrots. Ha.

Niamh took me for a long walk today. She was looking for beaver tails. I did not like the thought of that. We could not get any they were too far away and it was too cold. The beavers are safe. That is good.

Emmet did not go shopping so he can not have any of the really good cookies Niamh said.

Emmet stays up way late at night. He will will come up when she is asleep and steal them. That is what big brothers do. It is known.

Ollie's leg is all better. That is good. He is outside asleep in the snow. Ollie likes snow. That is good. We have a lot this year. 

Zita is still away far away. I slept on Craig so we would not be lonely. He told me it was all OK. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Fourteen

I am a bit sad today.

I looked and looked for Zita this morning. I could not find her. I had my blue bone and I went to all the rooms but she was not there to take me for my walk. I cried a bit. I got Niamh to help me look. Zita was not at home with me.

Craig got me my breakfast and told me Zita had gone away far away to Ireland. I forgot. It is a sad day.

Niamh took me for my walk. That was nice.

Craig played throw my Red Ball a lot. That was nice. I am still sad.

Craig was reading in the den so I got up on the blue sofa and went to sleep. I did not go into the bed room with my warm duvet.

Craig says Zita will be back in a while. I do not know what a while is.  That worries me. I like to know what my family is doing. It is my job.

The bed was too empty last night. I did not like it.

Craig tells me it is all OK. Craig always tells me the truth. I am glad he tells me it is OK. I worry a bit.

Emmet said he would take me for a walk. That was nice. Maybe I will go.

There are lots of castles in Ireland. Emmet told me some castles have ghosts. I am not afraid of ghosts. I should have gone to Ireland too. Craig will not let me go in the basement of airplanes. He says it is not very nice. Oh well.

I dropped my new Red Ball down the scary basement stairs. Emmet will bring it up later Craig said. It is a sad day.

They had cheese and peanut butter sandwiches last night. A while better not be too long or they will starve. It is known.

Day Two Hundred and Thirteen

I did not have a very good day.

Zita has gone on an airplane to very far away without me. I do not like that at all. She told me I have to look after Craig and Emmet and Niamh. But who is going to look after Zita in very far away? I do not like it.

Then I got in trouble. Emmet took me for my walk. That is not right. Zita or Niamh takes me for my walk. Not Emmet. After we went about a bit I lay down on the sidewalk and cried. Emmet thought I was hurt and brought me home.

Oh Oh.

Zita told me I was a spoiled dog. She said that Emmet is a good dog walker and I should be ashamed of myself. I was. I was very sorry.

Emmet took me twice around the block and when I got home I gave him lots of kisses.

It is just I know things are different and I really do not know why. I do not know why Zita is at way far away. And I do not know when she will be home. Those things worry me.

She said I was in charge. But I am only a dog and people do not always listen to me. I worry about that too.

It is not easy being a dog.

I have another name. When Zita was talking to me she said - Poppy Taylor - I never knew I had another name. Emmet said it is a real name. He saw it on my bottle of medicine from Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith would not make a mistake.

Emmet said it is because everybody in our family has that name. Having a family makes me happy.

He said it is a Scottish name and that is why Craig gets to pretend he is a Scotsman and listen to bagpipes. Ha.

I am not Scottish. I am Miss Poppy Taylor. It is known

Day Two Hundred and Twelve

It is newspaper day again.

The nice men brought two trucks of newspapers. There are lots of papers this time.

It was very busy. I wanted to help but Craig said he was afraid that the big piles of papers might fall on me. That would not be good. I watched from my window to make sure no one stole any of my newspapers.

Garry came to get his newspapers. I like Garry. He lives with my cousin Mattie. Mattie is a boy and is much bigger than I am.

Niamh says I am dainty. Zita says I am a horse. She is wrong. I saw a horse on our street. They are much bigger than me. And they smell. I have nice baths so I smell beautiful. It is known.

Niamh said today is valentine's day. That is when you give chocolate to the people you love.

Dog's can not eat chocolate. It would make me sick. I get big carrot treats instead. I like carrots. Niamh does not like carrots. Niamh likes to eat ice cream before she goes to sleep. Silly Niamh.

Emmet says his tummy is not so sick. He is writing more and more essays. Next week there is no university so everyone can write even more.

It is good Emmet and Zita know how to write. Sava does not know how to write. Sava knows how to count numbers. He wants to build big things. Emmet wants to know about big things.

That is why they have university Zita says.

Day Two Hundred and Eleven

I had a very confusion day.

People were not where they should be. I do not like that.

Craig went out and did not come back for hours and hours. He left his keys in his car. Silly Craig.

If he had brought me along he would not have forgotten them. Zita had to go and help him.

Emmet stayed with me and we looked out my watching window. Emmet has a sick tummy. Too much cheese.

Ollie hurt his leg. Now I have to be in charge of the whole corner. Being a dog is difficult some days.


Lorraine came today and threw my Red Ball. No one else was here.  Zita was at school. So was Niamh. So was Emmet.

They did not get home until late and I did not go for my walk until late. And I did not have my dinner until way after my walk. That is not the way it is supposed to be. I was very hungry.

Craig brought Emmet a new book all about the broken house war so he can put Gettysburg back where it is supposed to be.

Niamh is still working on her maps without the polar bears. That can not be very interesting.

It is not so cold today. That is good. There is lots and lots of salt on the roads and it gets in my paws and hurts. Sometimes after my walk Zita washes my feet off.

Craig said she could be Pope. Emmet would not like that. It is known.

Day Two Hundred and Ten

I have three Red Balls. Sometimes it is hard to make up my mind which one to bring back. Oh well.

Very busy. Everybody is writing something important.

Zita is getting ready to go on her far away trip to see Tillly in Ireland.

She told me I am to take care of them all while she is away. It is a big job. It will be very difficult. Emmet, Craig and Niamh are not very good listeners. It is known. I will do my best.

Zita says she knows I will. It is still a bit scary.

It was not so cold today. Emmet walked home from his university and did not freeze into an icicle. That is good.

We had a nice party last night. Everybody laughed a lot. Emmet picked me up so I could see the far away pond. That was nice.

They all think Emmet would be a good Pope. They are wrong.

Popes do not wear nice leather jackets like the one Santa brought him. He would have to wear gold robes and a funny hat. He would not like that.

He should just stay Emmet and pick me up so I can see far away. It is known.

Day Two Hunded and Nine

I got a new kitchen bed. I will not chew on it. I promised. I will try very hard.

I got a new Red Ball. That is good.

We lost my blue ball last night in the snow hill in the garden. Zita says I might have hidden it. That is not true. It just got lost in the snow. I like my red Ball better.

Craig said the Pope got tired and retired. He is way older than Craig.

Emmet says he wants to be Pope. Silly Emmet.

Emmet can not be Pope. Popes can not live in our basement and stay up all night.

Popes have to drink wine not ice tea. Emmet can not be Pope.

He would have to go to and live in Rome. That is too far away for Emmet. I know about Rome. It is full of Punics. He could not take me. Who would chase him all around before his dinner? 

He has not even found who lost Gettysburg yet. He could not find Rome. Emmet can not be Pope. It is known. Silly Emmet.

Craig could be Pope. He is very old and he likes pasta. Ha.

We are having a Mahoneys birthday party tonight. No cheese though. No Tara. She is away at her university. She lives on top of a restaurant. A Chinese restaurant, so no cheese. Oh well.

Day Two Hundred and Eight

Zorro came for a visit today.  Zorro is a very nice dog. He is shy. I was very polite. I shared my treats with him.

Zorro has a sore leg. He should get a chair like Craig's. Not as big.

We went to the garden today. I got too excited on my walk.  I jumped into all the snow hills. So we went to the garden.

 Zita is very stubborn. She wants me to bring back my blue ball before she throws the Red Ball. I just ignore the blue ball. It does not taste as good as my Red Ball. She is as stubborn as Craig. Oh well.

Emmet has to do lots and lots of work on who lost Gettysburg.  He found out it was not lost. It was won. That is silly.  If it was it lost it must be found not won.  Silly university.  I should go to university. I could find Gettysburg.  I have a better nose and ears than the people. I would not lose it. I would find Mr. Stuart who always got lost.  It is known.

Niamh came home all sneezy. There were cats at her sleep-away house. Silly cats.  Ha.

Niamh has to make couloured marks all over her maps. She should draw polar bears at the North Pole. That would be more interesting.

Day Two Hundred and Seven

It is Saturday. We had a very quiet day.

Zita and Emmet were writing lots and lots of interesting essays. Niamh was at dance-all-day.

Craig read his book and then Craig and I watched out the window.

There is so much snow I have to jump along the sidewalk. It makes my tummy all cold and wet. I like my side yard better. It is not so snowy.

Emmet likes Mr. Longstreet. He says Mr. Stuart should have been fired. He thinks he lost Gettysburg.  I do not know if they found it again. Emmet will find out. That is what you do at university. I would be good at university. I would not bark at all.

Niamh has a sleep-away night with her dance friends. Oh well.

Day Two Hundred and Six

A snow day. So much snow. Niamh did not go to school. Too much snow for the buses.

Not too much snow for us. Craig drove Zita and Emmet to their university.

Niamh was asleep so I stayed home to keep her safe.

So much snow maybe polar bears will come Jamie said. That is silly. Polar bears stay way up north to take care of Santa. It is known. Emmet told me. He knows all the very old stories.

Niamh had to make colourful maps for school. She said it was boring. I thought they were beautiful. There were no polar bears on her maps. I will tell Jamie. Ha.

I have so much snow in my yard I can jump in it. I do not like the cold so much. I like the fluffy snow. The kind that explodes when you jump on it.

When I come in I have icicles on my chin. I have to stay in the kitchen because I drip a bit while I melt. Oh well.

I get to help make the salad when I am in the kitchen. I like green beans. I always get some for helping. That is good.

I got into trouble last night. I chewed a big hole in my bed. Now I only have my kitchen bed. Oh well. 

Day Two Hundred and Five

An very early day. Craig was up when I got home from my walk. Niamh got up too. Then Zita and Niamh went off to school.

Emmet was still asleep. Emmet stays up late at night talking to his friends very far away. Oh well. I like to go to sleep early.

Sometimes it is very difficult to get Craig and Zita to go to sleep when they should. I have to go and get them sometime. Usually they do not listen. Oh well.

Craig had his coffee. Then he had porridge. He is very slow. When he was finished we played throw my Red Ball. It takes him a while to start I think. Maybe he is too cold like the cars.

Tonight is a no dance night. Niamh will let her feet rest. That is good.

There was a dog with out its people in the park. I got a bit upset. Emmet came up from his room. He told me it was OK. He looked out my watching window with me. The people came and got the dog. That is good.

Day Two Hundred and Four

Zita has a big test today. She went to her university very early. Craig drove Zita and Emmet there. It is still cold. Oh well.

I stayed here and guarded the house until Lorraine came. Lorraine threw my Red Ball. That is good.

Craig told Lorraine why they had to move the lock on my outside door. She thought it was funny. Craig said I am too smart for my own good. Ha.

Emmet is down stairs reading poems he can understand. Better than last week he told me.

He made a peanut butter sandwich. It is easier to understand poems when you have a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk. Emmet knows about this.

Niamh writes beautiful poems. She reads them to me. I like that. She does not think they are as good as I do. She is wrong. I know because I eat peanut butter too. Ha.

Niamh went to school in her not-so-warm boots. Silly Niamh. You can not dance with cold toes. It is known.

Day Two Hundred and Three

I went down the scary stairs yesterday. I followed Niamh. Niamh's bagel looked very fall-able.

If food falls it is God thanking dogs for all our very hard work. It is known. That is why all dogs say thanks in our prayers to St. Newton.

It did not fall. Oh well.

Niamh was very surprised when I pushed her with my nose. She jumped and laughed.

She was in the room where the make my duvet clean machine is. Then I went to Emmet's room. He was still asleep. Silly Emmet.

Niamh helped me me back up the stairs. They are still scary stairs.

Craig and I were alone here today. Everyone else was at schools. Zita had to go to the make-me-beautiful store before she goes far away to Ireland.

Emmet says they have lots of Gods in Ireland. Very old Gods. Older than Craig. One of the very old Gods has two big dogs. That is good. Maybe they know St. Newton.

It is very cold again. We only played throw my Red Ball a little. Oh well.

Craig has to go and get them all from the university or they will be too cold to laugh. That would be sad. We like to laugh in my house. It is known.

Day Two hundred and Two

I talked to Jamie this morning on my walk. She does not know anyone who went to Ireland. So she can not help with my worry. Oh well.

Who is going to make sure my warm duvet is on the bed? Oh dear more worries.

Emmet got home from his university and had a nap. He came up to talk to me. Now he is reading all about all the soldiers on horses who were not good listeners and who were not at home when they were needed.

I bet if they had listened to their horses they would not have got in trouble. People should listen to the animals more. It would be better.

Niamh got home and ran off to help at dance school. She is always busy. 

Zita was at her university all day. She has exams before her airplane goes to Ireland. She is very busy too. We will go for a walk when she comes home. She will be tired. I will try not to pull.

On our walks Jamie always wants to be in front. Zita says it is because she is a husky and thinks she is pulling a sled. I want to be out front to protect everybody. It is my job. Oh well.

The present man brought Craig new shirts. They are from Ireland. There is a lot of Ireland here I think. It is confusing.

Emmet showed me a map. Ireland is far away and is in the ocean. People should take boats there I think. Not airplanes. Dogs have to go in the basement all alone on airplanes. I would not like that.

My family would not like that either. It is known.

Day Two Hundred and One

Everybody slept in. Except Zita and me.

On my walks I get salt in between my toes and it hurts. Zita gets a wet cloth to wipe them. I will be glad when the flowers are here again.

Last night I just found out Zita is going way far away to Ireland.

It is not like when she goes off with her Eat-In-Nice-Restaurants friends. It is for many nights. Across the ocean. In an airplane. Oh dear.

That is confusing. Who will take care of her when she is way over there? I can not go. It is too far. And I am in charge here when she is away.

Maybe Tilly can be her dog when she is far away. Tilly is not so big as me. Oh dear.

What will they eat when Zita is away? They will run out of peanut butter. They will starve. Who will take me for my walks in the early morning? Oh dear.

I will have to talk to Jamie. Jamie is a sensible dog. Maybe she will know about this.

More things to worry about. It is hard being a dog.

Day Two Hundred

I am bit late tonight. Everyone is very busy writing. Emmet has to know all about why Gettysburg was lost. People lose strange things.

I lose my Red Ball sometimes. It makes me very upset. Craig or Zita always find it for me. That is good.

I like my family a lot. They are very good to me. When I lose things they find them for me. If I am not feeling well they take care of me. I think I am a very lucky dog. That is good. I like taking care of them.  It makes me feel good. It makes me feel very brave.

Emmet said I was the bravest dog he ever knew. That is good. Niamh thinks so too. I will not worry about it any more. That is good.

I could not go to the garden today. Too many icy holes. Zita was afraid I would hurt myself. We went for a nice walk instead.

It was a nice day to be a brave dog.

Day One Hundred and Ninety Nine

Niamh says dogs always tell the truth.

The truth is I am not always brave. Sometimes things I do not understand scare me. The big green garbage can on wheels scare me a bit. The big orange machine that moves all the snow is scary. It is very loud. The basement stairs are very scary. The big owl was scary. Jamie and Zorro thought it was scary too.

Craig says it is not important. He says I am very brave when it matters. He says I take care of them all very well. He says they are safe with me around. That is true.

I am braver when I am inside my house. Craig says that is fine. It is my house. We are all braver at home he says.

I am not afraid of thunder or fireworks. That is good. Some dogs are. I am not.

I saw Jamie today. She likes the cold weather.  She has a very curly tail. I do not. I just have a little short tail. It wags well Zita says. That is true.

I had a very good walk tonight. Hardly any pulling. Zita and I were happy. I got treats for not pulling.

They are going to have Mr.Tony's pizza for dinner.

Niamh is having some of her Dance-All-The-Time friends sleep here tonight. They will be loud and laugh a lot. It is known.

They will eat ice cream late late at night. I will have to get up and make sure they are ok. It is my job. Oh well.

Emmet chased me last night. That makes me glad.  He tried to steal my blue bone. I got it back. Emmet picks me up so I can see far far into my park. Emmet and I are good friends. He gives me big hugs. I like that. It is known.
