We had another cheese party last night. Ha. 

With own made hamburgers. And a lemon pie from our make the tasty bread store. It is Emmet and Niamh's favourite. And giant cookies too. 

Craig forgot all about my dinner. Until desert time. I did not starve to death. I had cheese treats. From everybody. Ha. Good for me. 

He is old. When you get old you forget all about important things. Like your nice dog's dinner. Oh well.

Craig said it is hard to find good help. That is true. 

Even our friend Zoe came for a little visit. So she could have a tasty lemon desert. With all of us. Thank is good.

Our cheese party friends went home today. To their nice not so far away house. They will visit again. They said so.

After the party we went right to bed. Cheese parties make everyone all tired. It is known. 

Niamh had to go to dance a lot today. For all day. To learn how to teach even better. That is good.

Zita and I went for a nice walk this morning. Then she had to talk to the rascal ladies. On the telephone.

It is a nice day. Just a little bit hot. Emmet went for a long walk. He said it was not too hot. Just nice enough to have good walks. 

He talked to Professor Jill last night. All about writing his new stories. Emmet likes writing those stories. It is known.  

The present man brought us new programs to watch on the television. At night. It is not about a detective. Or a nice brave dog. Oh well.

It is about a man and his very good helper. In not so long ago way far away England. When everybody wore hats. And drove cars with no tops. That is silly. 

We are having used hamburgers for dinner tonight. With cheese on top. Ha. Good for me.

Then we had our toasts. And got my friend Niamh all awake and out of her comfy bed.

Zita and Niamh went to Emmet's nice university to help Andrea put all her clothes and her comfy bed into her way way little room. She is going to live there. 

I stayed here to guard Craig and still all fast asleep Emmet.

My cheese party friends went back to their hotel. For baths. So they would smell all beautiful for our dinner time.

There is another football game today. Up the street. Again. 

There are too many people and too many cars again. All parked wrong. The policemen will take all those cars all away. 

You have to give them real money to get you car back from the car jail. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

Craig and Zita and our cheese party friends are going for a nice walk. Up to the big busy street. 

Without me. Because of the too many people. Someone might step on me. Oh dear. I would not like that.

It is hard to buy beautiful party dresses. They were away until all afternoon.

I guarded the house. All by myself. Emmet and Niamh were all fast asleep. 

Niamh had to get up to feed two cats. Too bad for her. Silly cats. Ha.

It is a nice too quiet day. It is always too quiet when my friend Niamh is not here.

Zita and I had a way long walk last night. We saw the ducks in the not too big lake. And I got treats from the nice lady who leaves me treats. In the special just for nice dogs box. 

I had a drink too. I had to clean the bowl. Because the nasty squirrels put leaves in the water. I hate squirrels.

Zita had to go to an important rascal ladies meetings all morning. And in the afternoon too. I guarded the house. And Craig and Emmet.

Niamh sent me pictures of her tasty food. On the flat computer. From a nice not even a bit expensive restaurant. In Montreal. She did not sleep very much last night. She did not say why. Oh well. 

She will sleep in her own comfy bed tonight. That is good. 

Zita told me that my cheese party friends are coming to visit me. Soon. Maybe tomorrow. Ha. Good for me.

We went all to bed early last night. Because going to the nasty food hospital makes everybody way tired. Even me. It is known.

Craig and Emmet are going to there today. To get a present for Zita bought Craig. They are not going to stay. That is good. 

There are giant noisy trucks on my corner. With giant diggers on top of them. They are too noisy. It is hard to have a nice nap when it is way too noisy. 

We are going to watch a new movie tonight. All of us. And me.  

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty Nine

It is a good day.

Zita and Emmet went to the nasty food hospital. To see Emmet's way nice doctor. 

They took more all inside Emmet pictures. There were no holes. It was all inside beautiful. Emmet was very happy. So were Zita and I. 

I talked to Mister Saint Newton last night. When everybody was all fast asleep. That is how you keep your friends all nice and safe. And nice smart doctors. It is known. 

Emmet's way nice doctor is a friend of Rachel's-going-to-be-a-doctor-in-Ireland family. That is nice. 

Nniamh and two dance a lot friends went on the bus. This morning. To Montreal. Montreal is a not so far away place. They want to see the old house where her friend is going to live. When she is at her nice university this year. 

They will go to way tasty restaurants. Only the not expensive ones. Because they do not have any money. Ha. 

Montreal has lots and lots and lots of tasty restaurants. And ladies shoe stores. Ha. 

Everybody there speaks French. I am French but I only speak dog. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

We had a tasty cheese party last night. With all the Mahoneys. We all sang the happy birthday song. With an all on fire cake too. 

When everybody was talking too much I went into the big bedroom to have a nice long nap. They were just talking all about the rascal's election. 

Craig does not like our important rascal. He does not have a nice dog. Only a cat. That is not right. You can not be a nice rascal without a nice brave dog to help you. It is known. 

Zita said I am the perfect cheese party dog. That is true. I got cheese with my breakfast this morning. Ha. 

Craig and I had toasts in bed. When he had his bath. Toasts in bed is my favourite. Good for me.

Emmet is going to see his nice doctor at the nasty food hospital. Tomorrow. 

Because he says he is maybe a bit too sore. Oh dear. Maybe they will take more inside pictures. Oh dear. 

I do not like it when my friends go to the nasty food hospital. It is known. It makes it hard to get all comfortable at night. And too hard to sleep. 

We watched a long long movie last night. It was very loud. It is too hard to have a nice nap when there are way too loud movies on the television. It is known. 

It did not have any more silly raccoons in this movie. That is good.

He is a detective too. And a doctor. But he only uses vegetable medicines. I do not know why. He has a very big garden. At the very big church. He only wears slippers. That is silly. 

The present man brought two boxes. For Niamh. 

It was her all brand new computer. It is not a box of apples at all. The apples are really a computer. That is way silly. It is known. You can not eat computers.

We had croissants for lunch. I got the crunchy ends. Ha. Emmet got up so he could have his tea. And his all full up with chocolate croissants. 

There was a nasty squirrel on the roof of the little just for the garbage house. It was looking right in my window. In the dinning room. At me. That is not right.

I went outside. As fast as can be. I did not catch it. It ran away up the nearly big tree. That is what the nasty squirrels do. Run all away. Too bad for them. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty Six

My friend Niamh came home last night. From the lake. Ha.

We were all happy. I gave her lots of kisses.

Soon he is going to speak roman. He has to go to his nice university way early in the morning. So he can learn to speak roman. And go to Rome and only eat pasta all the time. 

I will go with him. So he will not get all lost. Finding a nice restaurant where they only make tasty pastas. And let nice big dogs visit. 

Some restaurants do not like nice dogs. Emmet and I will not go and speak roman to them. Ha. Too bad for them. 

It was a nice day. In the morning. It was rainy after my lunch. Then it was not. We played catch the ball a lot this afternoon. Ha.
