Emmet is writing more interesting stories. All about the old Russians again. 

Someone shot a Russian rascal dead. On the street. Last night. Emmet told us. Oh dear. 

Old old Russians used to do that all the time. Oh dear. That is not right. 

We will tell Uncle Bill. He will be sad too. Uncle Bill likes things to be right. Like me. It is known. 

We do not shoot our rascals. That is good. 

No one will want to be rascals if you shoot them all dead. 

Who would Zita talk to on the telephone if one one wanted to be rascals. Oh dear. Too bad for them. 

Zita went out to lunch with Doctor Susan. Doctor Susan is not feeling all better yet. Oh dear. 

I am guarding Craig. He is in the den reading his book. I am resting on my cosy bed. And watching out my watching window. 

I had lettuce treats last night. Ha. I love lettuce treats. Craig says I will turn into a bunny. 

That is not nice. I am way too big. I do not hop. He is silly. That is why he cannot find the treasure. Too bad for him. 

Zita and I went for another nice walk this afternoon. With professor Jill and my friend Jamie. That is nice. I was not a soggy dog today. Good for me.

It is nearly a nice day. I had a little sleep in. Until Craig got up.

We had the not toasts French toasts for our nice Sunday lunch. Oh well. I do not get the ends of the silly French toasts. Too bad for me. 

Craig and Zita were moving everything all around in the den. Oh dear. 

Maybe they found a not for Poppy sofa. Oh dear. How will I look out my other window? Oh dear. 

It is not a good day for me.

Niamh and Emily and Cara and I went for a nice little walk. That is good.

We are having a little cheese party tonight. 

It is Mister Aidan's birthday. The Mahoney's always have their birthdays at my house. That is good. 

Maybe I will get a special cheese treat. If I am a big help. 

Day Nine Hundred and Forty Five

We watched movies last night. A detective from way far away England. Catching dangerous people.

He had a little dog. It was not very brave. It just stayed on the bed. Oh well. I had a nice nap in the den. With Zita and Craig.

Niamh had ice cream and big waffles and chocolate for her dinner. Last night. She said it was very nice. 

Maybe we will all go for ice creams and tasty waffles. In the summer. When it is way too hot. Not in the winter. 

Niamh eats ice cream even in the way too cold winter. Craig says she is silly. Oh well.

Emmet just likes croissants. And cheeses. All the time. Not ice cream.

This morning Zita went out for breakfast with her friend Kathy.

Craig and I had big toasts. For our own breakfast. 

When Craig makes toasts he always puts on the special tasty jam from France. Lots of it. He makes way good toasts. It is known.

Niamh and my friend Zoe went to the dance a lot place this morning. For toe dancing. 

Oh dear. Craig and Zita are going out. To look at a not for Poppy sofa. For the den. Oh dear. 

Maybe they will not find it again. I will not like a not for Poppy sofa. At all. 

They came home all empty. They did not find one. Ha. Good for me.

Day Nine Hundred and Forty Four

It is another way too cold day. 

Zita and I went for I nice walk this morning. I had to have my Scotsman's coat on. It is very warm. That is good. 

Zita had her way warm made from sheeps groves on.

Craig stayed home to make the coffees and make the kitchen all spic and span. It is the make the whole house all neat and tidy and slick and span day.

Yesterday Zita went downstairs. With the noisy make everything clean machine. She cleaned Emmet's cosy room. It was way messy. And dusty. Oh dear. 

Emmet was very happy when he got home from his nice university. Now he will not sneeze. That is good.

Today we cleaned everywhere else. With the noisy machine. And the smelly clean the bathroom water.

Today is Emmet's all day at his university day. To learn all about the way way old people. Who lived in the way far away mountains. They told all their interesting stories on little bits of string. We can not read them. Too bad for us. 

I got treats today. For not barking at the move the snow machines. 

I got refrigerator treats. The special tasty treats live in the refrigerator. The cheese and carrots and green bean treats. Ha. Good for me.

Tonight is an everybody have a nice dinner at our house night. No dance a lot. No universities until late tonight. Just us for dinner. That is good. 

Maybe we will watch a nice movie about brave dogs. That would be nice. 

Niamh can not have our tasty dinner altogether. She has to go to a way expensive chocolate store. For her dinner. With her dance a lot friend. Chocolate for dinner. That is silly. Oh dear. 

Day Nine Hundred and Forty Three

Nice Mister Millo came to our house last night. He moved all the too much snow away. I did not bark at him at all. Good for me.

After dinner I stayed with Zita all by myself. On the comfy bed. To be the best nurse in the world. Craig told me so.

Today her tummy is only a little bit sick. That is good.

We had to get up way early this morning. To go to the make me beautiful store. I do not like going to that store. It is not my house. I like to be in my house. And my gold big car. Or on my nice walks. 

Craig and Zita did not forget all about me. When nice Miss Darby was all done making me beautiful Zita was waiting for me. To take me back to my nice house. And my comfy bed. In the kitchen. Good for me. 

I am a skinny dog now. Oh well. 

I have to wear my Scotsman's coat for my walks so I do not freeze all up like my pond. 

Craig took Emmet to his nice university this afternoon. He left all car lights on. He forgot. He was too busy reading his book. And eating his too many cookies. Then the silver little car would not go anywhere. Oh dear. 

He and Zita had to call the nice men with the make cars go truck. Oh dear. People are silly.

I had a nice walk this afternoon. Not a far walk. Just a short around the corners walk. With my cosy Scotsman's coat on. 

Niamh still has a little headache left. Oh dear. She is dancing tonight. She should not dance. She should be all covered up in her comfy duvet. With me to keep her all toasty warm.

We did not have toasts today. Oh well.

Day Nine Hundred and Forty Two

It is another too much snow day.

We did not go for our nice walk this morning. Zita has a sick tummy. Oh dear. I will keep her all nice and warm in the comfy bed. It is known.

She had tea. To make her feel all better. If you are Irish you have to drink tea if you are not all right. Or you will not get all better forever. Scotsmen just eat oatmeal cookies. Ha. 

Emmet is still writing all about the way way way old friends of God. Emmet says he does not think all the stories are way true. He says way way way old stories forget a lot of things. Oh well. 

A nice horse got bitten by a nasty animal. Last night. Not on my street. An out in the country street. 

They do not know what kind of animal it was. Too bad for them. I bet it was a wolf. That is what wolves do. Jump out and bite you. At night. Oh dear. 

People should only ride a knight's horse. They are very fierce. And big. They are not afraid of nasty wolves. They would squish the wolf. With their very big steel feet. Emmet told me.

Niamh went to her dance a lot school today. Her nasty headache is nearly all gone. That is good. 

Nice Mister Milo is going to come to our house. And move all the snow out of the way. That is good. 

Early in the morning tomorrow I am going to the make me beautiful store. Oh dear. Nice Miss Darby will make me all beautiful. I do not like being at the make me beautiful store. I just like Miss Darby.  Oh dear. 

Day Nine Hundred and Forty One

It is still a way too cold day. 

Niamh stayed in bed until lunch time. Because of her nasty headache. Oh dear.

Zita went to the telephone store. They were good listeners. That is good. Now Niamh has an all brand new all gold telephone. 

She is way way happy. She can put all her teach people how to dance music on her new phone. She told me it is a much bigger phone. It is not. I saw it. 

She has a nasty headache so she can not see things all right. Oh well. I did not tell her. Good for me. 

Today is a busy go to university day. 

Craig drove Emmet to his nice university. For his old old church people class. 

Zita has her Mister Saint Paul's university day. It is not an university until late night. Just Craig and Zita and Emmet and me for dinner. 

Niamh has a teach people how to be way beautitiful dancers night. Until late. 

When Emmet is in his nice university Craig gets coffees and cookies. From the store that gives them to Craig right in the silver little car. To keep him toasty warm. That is nice. 

I saw my friend Zorro today. He has a brand new coat. And pants. Because of the way too cold. Professor Jill made the pants all for him. She makes them just like sweaters. 

Zita's mommy makes way good sweaters. For walking outside in way far away wet Ireland. She gets prizes for them. We have some. That is good.

Zorro is an old dog. He has sore legs. Like Craig. Craig gets his pants in a nice store. 

Jamie has a nice coat too. But no pants. Jamie is not so old. It is not a beautiful Scotsman's coat. Like mine. Zita made mine. All just for me. That is nice. 

Day Nine Hundred and Forty

We had to get up early today. Niamh had a special dance practice today. 

Niamh's phone will not be a phone. It is just all dark. Oh dear. That is not right.

We will take it to the telephone store. Oh dear. Zita will have to talk to the phone company. They are not good listeners. It is known. Oh dear. 

It is a way nasty day. Way too cold. And all blowy hard sharp snow. It is the hurt your eyes kind of nasty snow.

Zita and I went for a nice walk. We went to my favourite walk all across the other pond place. Just like we used too. Before my hurt leg. 

I was way happy. Even in the blowy snow. We saw our beautiful trees. They do not have any leaves. Because it is the snowy winter. Good for us. I walked in the way way deep snow. I was a soggy dog when I got home. Oh well.

Poor Niamh got sick and had to come home from her dance a lot school. She has a way bad headache. Zita took her to see her nice doctor. This morning. 

Craig and I watched out the watching window. We waited for Zita and Niamh to come home. From the doctor. Zita went and brought her home to her comfy bed. 

I can not get up on her comfy bed. Because of the headache. Oh dear. She does not have her nice phone. She is way sad. Oh dear. I cannot fix her phone. I do not know about phones. Just people. Too bad for us.

Emmet is writing all about way way old Irish kings. Old Irish kings had to stay all at home. Or they could not be kings. That is silly. I would not like to be a king. I am just happy being Miss Poppy. It is known.

Zita says the telephone people are bad listeners. She hung up the phone on them. Oh dear. No treats for them. It is known.

Day Nine Hundred and Thirty Nine

Everybody got home way late last night. Craig and Emmet and I we all stayed up to wait for Zita and Niamh to get all home. So they could get into their comfy beds. In their own house. 

Niamh had a nice time at the birthday party. Her friends from the dance a lot school were there too. 

Zita did not miss the very special important meeting. Just most of it. Nobody got treats. Oh well.

Zita said no more trains fell all over. That is good. Trains are silly. Dogs have to be in boxes to go on the trains. I would not like that. It is known. 

Zita told us she had a nice train ride home. It was a comfy train. With way good food. She had very nice tortilinis for her dinner. And wine. 

Emmet told us they have real kitchens on train. Big kitchens. They make real tasty dinners. Not like airplanes.

Emmet loves tortilinis. Emmet did not have tortilinis for his dinner. He had used pizza. Downstairs. With all his friends from everywhere. There were playing their way long old Gods game. 

That is what they do on Saturday. From all over the whole world. Not just here. Or way far away Ireland. All over. Where they have all different times. I do not know why. Oh well.

Craig had a peanut butter and honey sandwich for dinner. I had the chewy ends. That is good.

Craig's hockey team won last night. I did not see it. I was looking out my watching window. It is my job.

We had a long long sleep in today. Because everybody went to sleep too late last night.  

Craig got up before everybody. I had my breakfast then. I was not way too hungry. That is good.

When Zita got up we had lots and lots of toasts. Real toasts. With the tasty jam. No French not toasts today. That is good.

Zita took Emmet to his nice university. To get a book all about way way old church people. He did not find it the first time. It was hiding. Oh dear. 

Emmet says his nice university has an all brand new library. All full of books. Way interesting books. And very comfy chairs. Right beside the river. And a store where you can buy nice teas. And way too expensive coffees. Emmet loves the library. Even with hidden books. It is known.

It is the last football game day. Craig will watch it in the den. His team will not win. He does not have good teams. Oh well.
