We had tasty hamburgers for our dinner. Last night. I got lettuce treats. Good for me.

Then Zita and Craig and Emmet and I watched the television. Nice stories about a churchman who catches nasty people. And all his very nice friends. 

There were no brave dogs in the stories. Just people. Oh well.

Niamh and cousin Orlaith are still at Julia's beside the very big river house. They will be there tomorrow too.

It is very quiet with no Niamh. That is not right.

Craig is a young lady Queen. In a far away place. Full of dangerous people. Who do not want her to be a nice Queen.  But she is magic. They do not know it. Ha. Too bad for them. 

I got cheese treats today. I did not bark. Not even once at the nasty squirrels in my beautiful trees. Good for me.

Zita was talking to all the rascal ladies today. From all over. On the telephone. 

We are having a quiet day.

It is not way quiet outside. There are giant diggers on the other part of my street. The diggers make lots of very loud noises.

The way noisy stop the fire trucks drove down the busy street. When I was in the nice store. We had to go outside. 

The very loud sirens are very scary and I bark at them. A long time ago they all came to my own street. It made me a bit scared. Too bad for me.

In the way early morning. So the look inside you machine can see if Emmet is all right again. Oh dear. Too much worry. It is known.

Yesterday I was a big help. When my friend Niamh was was all a little bit scared. Because of the silly man. Zita said so. That is good. It is my job.

Nasty men will not come in my house. I bark at them. With my very fierce bark. Sometimes I get in trouble. It is hard being a good guard your family dog. It is known. 

My friend Garry can not get all his nice newspapers. His leg is all sore. Because of an operation. Oh dear. My cousin Mattie will help him get all better. It is known.

Zita said she will find another nice person to bring his newspapers to all the other people. Someone with not so sore legs. 

Emmet went out in the soggy rain. To the Mister Kettleman's store. Where they make the tasty bagels. 

Niamh goes there all the time. With her dance a lot friends. They had to make the store way bigger. Too many friends. Ha. 

Emmet likes brand new just all ready bagels. He waits for them at Mister Kettleman's. And eats them all toasty warm. Ha. 

He wore his new don't get all soggy coat. That is good. 

It is very noisy outside. The digging men are making big holes in the street. Not my street. Mister Aidan's street. 

They brought their own little house. They put it in the pond park. Beside the road. 

That is where they make their coffees. In the morning. I do not know if they have toasts. Oh well. I do not know them.

Day One Thousand and Seventy Three

I had a very busy exciting day.

Zita and I went for a nice walk with Professor Jill and Zorro. We went way slow. Zorro is old like Craig. 

We had two walks with Professor Jill. We went back to her house and got Jamie. It was a not so slow walk with Jamie.

We had little toasts today. Craig did not have Scotsman porridge today. That is good. 

Last night he went to bed before our dinner. Because of his sick nose. Oh dear. I kept him company on the comfy big bed.

The nice men brought all our nice newspapers today. In the white big truck. I did not bark at all. Good for me.

Then a nasty man chased Niamh down the busy street. She ran and ran. Then a nice man in a car jumped out and stopped him. And chased him all away. That is good. 

Niamh should only go out with me. A nasty man would not chase Niamh if I was there. I would bite him all over until he was way sorry. Ha.

Zita and Kathy went and got her. And brought her home. She had ice cream. Ice cream always makes Niamh all better. I gave her lots of kisses. I did not get any ice cream. Oh well. 

A very nice policeman came to our house. To talk to Niamh. So she could tell him the scary story. He brought his own police car. And his gun. I did not tell him I would bite the nasty man all up in pieces. 

We do not have a gun. We have a canon. In Emmet's cosy bedroom. Because of the scary lions and wolves. 

He said the nasty man had chased another lady today.  He told all the other policemen to catch him. The policeman said he was not a nasty man. He is a way silly man. 

He will tell us when they catch him. That is good. 

Niamh was way scared. I do not like that at all. He made Niamh cry. That is not right. He is not my friend. Niamh is my friend. I am her very good and fierce guard. So I would still bite him all up. Ha. It is known.

Emmet is at Ceciel's house this afternoon. Making a brand new course all about way old Latin. For university people who need to read way way old books. Big fat books all about way old people. 

Ceciel is a brand new doctor. Not a when you are sick doctor. A going to be a professor doctor. Like Professor Jill and Professor Aleksandra. 

Craig and I played catch the ball. I did not drop it today. Ha. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand and Seventy One

We had a nice walk this morning. I thought I saw my friend Zoe. It was another lady. Oh well.

We did not have lots of toasts today. When we got home. 

Craig had Scotsman's porridge instead. Because of the pills from his nice doctor.  Too bad for me. 

I would not like to eat Scotsman's porridge. It is not so crunchy as toasts. Oh well. 

The music machine told us to be careful. They said this afternoon will be full of way windy rain. Oh dear. I do not like windy rain. At all. 

I will just watch it. From the watching window. On the comfy new rug. In my cosy house. Ha.

I guarded Zita all morning. She had to write lots and lots to all the want to be rascals ladies. 

Niamh did not go to school until late. Because she cannot go to the nice beautiful flower store any more. Because her practice work is all over. Too bad for her. 

The beautiful flower store gave her a way big prize. Because she is so nice. Just like me. Niamh is not so fury. 

She has a remember everything exam today. Oh dear. 

I was a too much barking dog today. I got into trouble. Just a little bit of trouble. Good for me. 

Craig and I played catch the ball a lot today. I missed the silly ball. Two times. Oh well. 

Craig went to his cosy bed way early. Because he is still caught by the nasty flu. I keep him company.

It is a very soggy day. I had to have a little bath when I got home from our nice walk. Jamie and Professor Jilł came with us.  Jamie was a way way too soggy dog. Oh well.

We had toasts when we got home. We had extra toasts today. Because it is all soggy outside. Ha. Good for me.

Craig has to go to see his nice doctor. I think the nasty flu caught him. He is sore. All over. And sleepy. Oh dear.

I will guard Emmet when Craig is away at his nice doctor. 

Guarding Emmet is not so hard. Because he likes to stay in our nice house and read his way interesting fat books. That is good. 

When I guard him he comes up from the scary basement and we look out my watching window together. 

He tells me way interesting stories all about way way old kings. And the way old Gods. He knows all about them. The stories are in the fat books. 

We have lots of fat books in our house. It is known. 

We have fat books with lots of pictures of castles. That is good. Emmet should have a castle. I could be the brave castle guard. Ha.

Emmet likes the watching window too. That is nice. 

Zita went to the way too small office today. In the soggy rain. 

Niamh lost her little flat get real money from the money machine thing. Oh dear. She will starve. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

The way big noisy machines are going to take all way the street in front of my nice pond. Oh dear. And all of my friend Aidan's street. Oh dear. I will not like this.

Day One Thousand and Sixty Nine

It is a way soggy day. We did not go for a nice walk this morning. Because of the too much windy rain. 

I do not like the rain so much. Soggy dogs do not get to sleep on the big comfy bed. It is known.

Niamh came home from Julia's other house. She was way tired. Ha. She had other people's clothes on. That is silly.

Zita's Uncle George in way far away England died. Last night. He was a fly big airplanes soldier. He knew his way to heaven already. 

He flew the old Queen's airplane. 

Not our nice Queen. Her nice mother. He flew it just for her. All over the world. 

His airplanes never fell down. Or got all lost. You cannot get lost when the Queen is in your airplane. Or they cut your head all off. It is known.

Zita said he was a very nice man. He was her Godfather. That is good. Zita is very sad now. That is not good. Oh dear.

Now he is up in heaven. He did not take his airplane. You do not need an airplane to fly in heaven. You can use a motorcycle. Like Uncle Bill. He has a flying motorcycle. Ha. That is good. 

Craig drove Niamh to her dance a lot school today. After her job a the beautiful flower store. It was her last day for her practice job. At the beautiful flower store. 

Niamh was way sad. She liked her practice job a lot. And all the very nice flower store people. Oh dear. Too many sad people today. That is not right. 

When Craig came home he brought a way big bag of my food. So I won't starve. Or be all way too skinny. That is good. 

Emmet went for a nice walk. This afternoon. When there was no windy rain. To get his special iced all cold tea. That is silly. It is not so way hot today. Only windy rain. 

He got more books from the present man. Even more books about way way old way far away Ireland.

We had a nice sleep in today. We always sleep in on Sunday. That is good. 

Craig and I got up first. To play catch the ball. Ha. Good for me. 

Last night when Zita and I went for our nice walk there was a duck on the street. Not in the pond. Ducks should stay in the nice ponds. That is why we have all full up ponds. For my friends the ducks. 

If they go on the street they will get lost. Or get squished. Maybe by the Giants from Craig's scary programs. Oh dear. 

Zita and Craig had coffees and dessert last night. On the way busy street. I stayed here to guard Emmet. We did not see any Giants. That is good. 

It was way quiet last night. Niamh was away at Julia's other house. Beside the very big river. Oh well.

I saw a policeman with his very big policeman dog. It was as big as me. They were on my street. Right at the corner. I do not know why. 

He did not have I am his policeman dog jacket on. He was just all fury. Not so fury as my friend Jamie. Jamie is a way fury dog. It is known.

His wife is a professor. Like our friend Professor Jill. She does not have a nice fury dog like my friend Jamie. Oh well. 

She teaches way way way old fish. I do not know what she teaches them. 

She teaches at the other university. Not Emmet's nice university. Or Zita's Mister Saint Paul's university. It is Miss Rachel-going-to-be-a-doctor-in-Ireland's university. I have not seen that university. Oh well. 

The present man brought Emmet even more books. About all way way old church people. In way far away Ireland. 

So he can have way interesting books to read. In his comfy bedroom. Because he has to rest for a little while. So he will be alright forever. 

I barked a bit at the present man. I got in trouble. I forgot. Oh well. 

Zita and I went for an early nice walk. Because it will be too much rain before our tasty dinner time. I do not like the rain. It makes me all soggy. Soggy dogs have to stay in the kitchen. Until they are all dry as toasts. It is known.
