Day One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Three

We had a nice quiet day. Zita and I went for a nice walk. It is a not so hot day. Just a bit of all flappy ears windy. We did not see my friends the ducks today. 

Emmet only went to his way old talk Latin class. Then he came home to have a nice nap. In his cosy bedroom. With all his own pillows. 

He has a very sore throat. Still He drank lots and lots of Irish tea. It did not fix him all up. Oh dear. 

He is going to visit his very nice doctor tomorrow. That is good.

Zita was talking all the time to the rascal ladies today. She is way busy. 

Craig went to the nasty food hospital. To visit Roger. Roger was not at the old friends breakfast. He was sick. He took all his medicine wrong and could not remember everything so well. That was silly . 

Now he can eat only lots of tasty vegetables. Craig said he is going to hop all around now. Ha. That is silly. 

Craig had a bath last night. And Niamh too. They were all squeeky clean. They do not smell right after their squeaky clean baths. They just smell like towels. Oh well.

Zita went to the not so far away giant store to get some nice cheeses. 

Because tomorrow all her lady friends are going to come to my house. To have an after dinner cheese party. I am invited. Zita told me so. It is true. I am a lady too. It is known. Good for us.

Niamh is going to have a nice dinner with us tonight. That is good. She does not teach dance a lot tonight. 

Her friend Miss Rowan is going to visit and have our tasty dinner with us. That is good. She has all red hair too. 

Craig told me she had pointy ears. That is not true. Ladies do not have pointy ears. My friend Jamie has pointy ears. And a pointy nose. It is known. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Two

It is a soggy day.

We only went for a little walk this morning. 

Zita drove Niamh to dance a lot school this morning. Early. Because of her still too sore foot. 

And Emmet has a too sore throat. He has to take medicine. I am fine. Ha.

Zita is way way busy with the rascal ladies. 

Craig went to lunch with Mister Dave. He is a friend of Uncle Bill's. They had to talk all about the special sausage party. 

Uncle Bill's friends are having a giant party. With own made sausages and beer. And way good cheeses. In a way old giant house. To remember for ever Uncle Bill's own made sausages. That is nice.

Everybody is going. Not me. I will stay here. To guard the house. That is good. I will get peanut butter treats. 

I do not remember the own made sausages. They were not for nice dogs. They were too hot sausages. They would make me have a sick tummy. I would not like that. 

They were for Craig and Zita. They like own made too hot sausages. 

Because Uncle Bill is way busy driving his flying motorcycle in far away heaven we do not get them any more. Too bad for us. Oh well.

The silver little car is back in our driveway. That is good. 

Craig said it had a hole and all the stop leaked out. Oh dear. That is not right. Mister Mikes's fix your car all up store put brand new stop in it. That is good. 

Niamh got her brand new beautiful glasses. That is good. Craig said now she can see her feet. That is silly. Craig says way silly things. All the time. 

Maybe that is why our nice Queen wants him to go to work again. To say silly things to people. All about computers. But not be a knight. 

If he did not say silly things maybe he would be a brave knight. With a way big horse. And a sword. And a castle with scary ghosts. Ha. 

Our nice Queen has lots of all empty castles. It is known. Too bad for him. Oh well. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy One

Zita came home last night. Late. After bedtime. Craig brought her home from the do not fall over train building.

I was very happy to see her. I gave her lots of kisses. And my green ball. Ha. That is good. Everybody is all home again. That is right. 

We had to get up early. Because it is an early day.

Craig could not drive Emmet to his nice university. Because the little silver car can not stop. It had to go to Mister Mike's fix your car all up store. Again. Oh dear. Oh dear.

Another Mister Bill came to my house today. To fix my watching window. And paint it until it is beautiful. 

It is not so beautiful now. Because sometimes I jump up on it. Because of the nasty squirrels. I hate squirrels. It is known.

Last night Craig and Emmet and I watched the sky for a long time. Outside. I do not know why. It was a nice night. Maybe because the moon got all lost. We found it again. That is good. 

Craig is going to work for our nice Queen again. Maybe she missed him. Ha. 

He is not going to go to a nice office all the time. Just sometimes. When he and I are not too busy. It is known.

Niamh's foot is still too fat. Because she will not just stay home until it is all better. Too bad for her. Craig said she is too stubborn. That is true. Oh well.

Zita and I went to the bank. On the busy street. It is the bank where they give nice polite dogs tasty treats. I got one. Ha. Good for me.

Then we walked all down the road beside our canal. Right to our beautiful ponds. Where my friends the ducks live. When it is not too noisy. Because of the giant diggers. 

We got a new watch in the den after dinner program. For the television. The present man brought it. 

It is all about a doctor in way far away England. He is not a detective. Just a funny doctor. 

Zita is way busy with the rascal ladies. Because of the election. It will be over soon. And we will have lots of new rascals. That is good. I think new is best.

Except for the old old Gods. And Craig. He is old too. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy

We had a nice quiet day. Sunday's are quiet days. Unless we are all busy.

Craig and I stayed up late last night. Until Niamh got home from her movie. 

Then we went to bed. I had to keep Craig all comfy. Because Zita was in the nice comfy hotel. Not here. With us. Oh dear.

Lee and Cara came over this morning. To listen to Niamh's music. In her bedroom. After we went for a nice walk this morning. 

Emmet helped Lee with her how to read way old Latin. She is taking way old Latin too. That is nice.

A man came to our house this morning. He was not so very tall. He was from a way far away place. He has a little truck. He makes all the big dangerous knives way way sharp. 

The dangerous knives Zita uses to cut the ends off our tasty own made green beans. Ha. That is good.

Then another man came to take away some old music machines. He brought in only one. That is good. 

I know that man. He has been here before. I did not bark at him. Ha. Good for me.

Niamh is went to the big river this afternoon. To watch people in little boats go fast. In a race. 

It is is the kind of race that our cousin Orlaith always wins. With long oars. Like the Vikings boats. 

But they are not Vikings. They are just nice people. Who want to go fast. In skinny little boats. On top of the water. And not fall in and get all soggy.

After lunch Craig went to visit his mother. At her new place. On the way busy street. Then he went to the new way special tasty food store. To get some tasty food for our dinner. 

We did not have any pizza at all when Zita was in not so far away. Oh well. No crunchy pizza bits for me. Too bad for me.

Craig got some special cheeses from way far away France. In the new special tasty too much money food store. 

Maybe they grew in the nice policeman's little town. Ha. His nice dog guards his garden. Just like me. 

Zita's is going to come home to her own house tonight. Late. Craig is going to go to the train building. To find her. 

I am not going. I am staying here to guard Emmet and Niamh. When they come home we will all go all fast asleep. That is good. 

 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Nine

I had another get up early day. 

Zita and I had a nice little walk. It was a not so warm morning. 

After our walk Craig drove Zita in the little silver car. To catch the dangerous train. You have to go to the big just for trains building.

Trains can not fall over and crash in the building. That is good. 

That is where Craig drove her. They stop the train so you can get on. You do not have to catch it. That is good. 

They give you food on the train. I do not think it is so tasty. 

When Craig came home he had to go to his old friends breakfast. 

I had to guard the house all by my self. Because Niamh and Emmet were still all fast asleep. Ha.

When Niamh was all awake she had to work on her new very fast computer. To make brand new music for her very important all year long dance at her dance a lot school.

When Emmet was all awake he went to Mister Kettleman's tasty bagel store. And got a big bag of bagels. For Niamh and Emmet's breakfast. 

With the special just for bagel cheese. I got bagel bits. That is good. 

Zita is going to a nice dinner tonight. With lots of people she does not know. Oh dear. Except for Doctor Susan. She is at the dinner too. That is good. 

Niamh went to Lee and Cara's house for a special own made dinner. Because it is their own birthday. Soon. 

They have the very same sing happy birthday day. That is because they are twins. It is known. 

Emmet and Niamh have the same sing happy birthday day too. But they are not twins. 

Emmet told me Niamh stole his sing happy birthday day. That is not true. Niamh would not steal a day from Emmet. That is a silly story. It is known.

Craig and Emmet went to Craig's eat your breakfast restaurant for dinner. I guarded the house.

I was very busy. Because of the football game. Up on the busy street. 

When there are football games there are way too many people on my street. Too many cars. They honk their horns. I do not know why. I do not like that. 

Zita will not be in her comfy bed tonight. She is at a nice hotel. Not here. 

I will sleep at the top of the big bed. To keep Craig all safe. So he will not be scared. Ha.

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Eight

We are having a busy car day. Zita drove Niamh to dance a lot school this morning. Because of her too fat foot. In the silver little car. 

Then Emmet had to go to his practice his old old Latin reading. At his nice university. 

And then Niamh had to go to her doctor because of her foot. It is not all broken off. Just a bit squished. That is good. 

Then Zita had to go to my nice doctor to get my do not have a sick tummy medicine. 

And go to the buy brand new underware store. Because she is going on the train tomorrow. To not so far away. It is the do not fall over and crash train. That is good.

She is going to a happy going to get married party. With doctor Susan. Because doctor Susan's daughter is going to get married. When all the beautiful flowers come back. 

You have to have brand new underware when you go to special parties. Not for just cheese parties. 

Special parties with special beautiful dresses and shiny make you tall shoes. And even shiny toes. It is known. 

Zita is going to sleep in a nice hotel. Tomorrow night. With lots of pillows. But not me. Oh dear. That is not right.

I have to stay here and guard Craig and Emmet and Niamh. I can not go on trips. I am too busy. It is known. 

Craig is going to have to make the tasty dinners. Ha. 

They will just have peanut butter sandwiches. Or nice Mister Tony's pizza. They will not have any tasty green beans. Or crunchy lettuce. Too bad for me.

We only had one car today. Because the gold big car had to get something new that does not make a squeeky noise.

Ziyta says we are going to get a new car. When the beautiful flowers come back. It will not be a little car like Craig's. I do not fit so well in little cars. 

She said gold big car is going to retire. Just like Craig. It is a bit tired. Oh dear. It is my favourite just for sitting in car. It is known. 

I do not like being in the car when it is moving with other cars all around. It is a bit scary. We will get a good for sitting in car. Craig said so. Maybe one with a special place. Just for me. Ha. 

Niamh has to put very cold ice on her fat foot. To make it not so fat. 

Maybe we will watch the old already retired detectives tonight. In the comfy den. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Seven

I had a way nice day. It was a beautiful day outside. Just nice. With the all blue sky. No just like sheep clouds today. Just sky. That is good. 

I had a nice long sleep. Last night. Going to the make you beautiful store makes me tired. Oh well. 

Zita drove Niamh to her dance a lot school this morning. Because of her too big foot. She can not dance a lot today. Or her foot will not get better. 

She can not teach at the dance a lot place tonight. Or dear. 

Zita and I had a nice walk when she got home. And we had fat toasts again. 

Emmet's cold is nearly all gone. He drank lots of Irish tea. 

Irish tea will make you all better. And tasty lemon cookies. And warm socks. And your very own comfy pillows. It is known.

The nice man called Craig again. On the telephone. He wants Craig to help them to know what to do with all the brand new kinds of computers. Just for a while. 

He will not be a knight. Our nice Queen is too busy. In way far away. Oh well. 

They will give him real money instead. Maybe he will buy a way old castle. Just for us. Ha.

He will still will be able to play throw the ball with me. He told me. That is good.

Emmet is learning lots of new Latin words. He remembers all of them. I do not. Oh well.

The Mister Pope was on the television. Telling people to be nice. To everybody. Not just their friends. That is good. Some people did not believe him. Oh dear. Too bad for them. 

Emmet said that they should read more of Emmet's way interesting fat books. 

They would not say those things. They would be too scared. Because of the Mister Pope's Switzerland people. With the big pointy very sharp sticks. Ha. 

The Mister Pope did not say to be nice to the nasty squirrels. I was a good listener. Ha. Too bad for them. 

He did not speak all in Latin. I do not know why. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Craig and I had cheese toastys for our lunch. That is good. 

He is still the nice French policeman. He has not caught any nasty people yet. 

In his little town he gets presents. Of own made cheese. Ha. Because he lives in France where all the way tasty cheeses grow. It is known. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Six

I had a very busy day. I did not get in trouble at all today. Not even once. Ha. Good for me.

I do not have so much story telling time tonight. Because I went to the make me beautiful store all afternoon. So now I am a bit tired. 

The make me beautiful store makes me always a bit tired. They give me a beautiful neck scarfs. When I go there. That is nice. 

Craig is tired too. He had to go to the too many chips restaurant for lunch. He ate too many chips. 

His friend Tony came for a visit. And to have a tasty lunch. 

Tony lives not so far away. But not close. He lives right beside a very big lake. Because he has boats. And a brand new house. And a big truck. 

They were there for a long time. Talking. That is what friends do. When they go to lunch. 

When Craig got home we had to go to the make me beautiful store. Right away.

I did not bark in the car so much. This time. That is good. 

Cars are scary when they are going. I like cars when they are just all still. In my driveway. Where I can sit and watch everybody. It is known.

Somebody phoned today. They want Craig to go and work for the nice Queen again. 

Maybe she will make him a knight. And we can have a castle. And ghosts. Or a giant dragon. Maybe. 

Niamh tripped on the nasty bus. Now Her foot is too big. And Emmet is all sneezy. He got caught by Zita's cold. 

Everybody is going to go to bed early tonight. That is good. 

I have to have a nice nap on my cosy bed now.

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Five

I did not have a very good walk this morning. Because I got in a lot of trouble. 

I tried to catch a nasty squirrel. It was on the sidewalk. Right in front of me. I pulled Zita too much. 

I could not have a tasty treat from the nice ladies special just for good dogs box of treats. Zita said I was not so way good this morning. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

I had two toasts when we got home. That is good.

Zita is very busy with all the rascal ladies today. Writing and writing. I stayed in the bedroom. On my comfy duvet. So I could be a big help.

Craig is just in the den. Reading. He is still the nice policeman. In France. His brave dog guards his garden from the silly rabbits. Just like me. Ha. That is a good book. 

Emmet is still teaching me the Latin. It is way hard. 

I do not remember the words so well. They do not sound like the words I know. Oh well. 

I will not be a Roman dog. Too bad for me.

I am still a big help. Even if I do not remember the words. Emmet said so. That is good. 

We have a way old clock. On the wall. In the living room. Where the go round and round books case is. The clock makes a not too loud noise. So you know what time it is. With only your ears. Even at night. Ha.

It is Emmet's clock. It does not always work. I do not know why. 

Craig went to the tidy him all up store this afternoon. I am going to the make me beautiful store tomorrow. He is all neat and tidy now. Good for him.

Ladies go to make me beautiful stores. Because ladies are always beautiful. Men can only go to tidy them up stores. Because they are always messy. Ha. 

I am only sometimes messy. Then I have to have a bath. Oh well. 

Niamh is going to have her tasty diner with us tonight. She does not have to teach at dance a lot tonight. That is good. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Four

We went to bed early last night. Because today is a get up very early in the morning day. 

Niamh and Miss Julia have to go to their special dance a lot class. And Emmet has to go and be an way old Roman. 

He is only a Roman in the morning. Then he has donuts. Romans do not eat donuts. Only pasta and pizzas. Ha. That is good. 

Zita and I went for a nice walk. An early walk. When you could not see my friends the ducks. They were hiding in the all smokey pond. 

Then Zita drove Emmet to his nice university. And we had fat toasts. Craig and Zita had their too much coffees. 

Craig had to go to our not so far away aeroport this morning. To find Auntie Jane. She is going to visit her mother and tell her not to fall down. Anymore. Ha.

Zita had to go to the way too small office. To look for interesting mail. Oh well. I helped move the cars. A lot. I was a big help. 

Sometimes when I am being a big help moving the cars dog I forget to stay behind the gate. Until the car door is all open. 

I get too excited. And get in trouble. Oh well. Maybe next time I will remember everything. 

Craig is still the nice policeman with the very brave dog. And the tasty cheese pies. That is good. 

We saw way old aeroplanes from the long time ago war. Over top of our house. 

Three of them. Two little ones and one very big one. Like the one that Craig's father used to fly in. 

They are very loud. They do not fly so high in the air. I could see them. I would not like to be in one. Too noisy.

Craig's father's aeroplane had a big moose on it. With giant dangerous horns. To catch nasty aeroplanes. And knock them down. Ha. 

Emmet went for a nice walk this afternoon. When his head got too full. 

All the leaves are going to fall down. On my lawn. Because it will all the leaves fall down time soon.  There are leaves on my street. Right now. I saw them this morning. Oh well.

I had a nice nap in the side yard today. On the nice cool stones.

Then I guarded Zita on the comfy bed. Ha.

Zita had to talk to the rascal ladies. On the telephone. Even on a sleep in Sunday. Oh well. 

Emmet is all awake too. Because of all the reading. For his nice university. 

Yesterday Emmet was very sad. He finished the last book from his most favourite writer. He can not write anymore because he died. Emmet has all his books. Downstairs in the all full of books bedroom. 

The writer said we live on top of a giant turtle. That is silly. 

Sometimes writers are silly. They should just write nice stories all about brave dogs. Everybody would buy those stories. Not scary stories about Vikings and dangerous swords. It is known.

Last night the sky was all filled up with very loud noises and very bright lights. I do not like that. I bark at the lights but they do not go away. 

Emmet and Zita and Craig told me it was ok. It was not ok. 

They stayed and watched the very bright lights with me. Out my watching window. So I was not too scared. Only a little bit. Then it was all gone. Just a nice night. Ha. 

Craig and Zita and I watched a detective story. It was long. There were no nice dogs in the story. I had a nice nap on the comfy rug. 

We saw professor Jill yesterday. Jamie was not there. She was on her not so fast bicycle. You can not take your dog on your bicycle. It is too dangerous. 

She and Jamie came to visit Emmet this morning. When Emmet was outside reading his big books. On the patio. I stayed inside. They were talking all about the nice university. 

It is not so hot today. Jamie does not like the hot. He likes the cold. He is very fury. It is known.

Niamh and her dance a lot friends had dinner in our house last night. And went to the concert. After dessert. She told Craig that it was a way way good concert. 

She said monsters and people sang lots of songs. That is silly. Monsters do not sing. They just chase silly people on television. And eat them all up. It is known. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Two

I had a nice quiet day. Because it is a Saturday.

Craig went to his old friends breakfast. I did not go with him today. He did not get lost. He came home all by himself. That is good.

Zita and I had a little sleep in. Then we went for a nice walk. We saw my friends the ducks. In the other pond. Then we went on the old old colonel's road. All the way to the little lake. 

We saw boats.

Not way noisy boats. Nice big boats. With sails. 

They were not way dangerous Viking boats. They have sails too. But they are all full of scary Vikings. With swords. And maybe a dragon. 

They can only come to our city inside nice books. Craig told me. That is good. 

Zita and Niamh went to the look into you eyes Doctor. Niamh is going to get beautiful glasses. So it is easy to read interesting books.

Then Niamh and Julia went to the busy street. There are lots for not so loud music concerts today. They are going to get tickets. So they can listen to the music until late tonight. Ha.

Zita finished making the house all spic and span. The big bedroom and the den are all finished. That is good.

We put all the back music machines away. They were just sitting all on the floor. In the den. I do not know why. Too many music machines. It is known. 

Emmet went for a long walk. After lunch. His head was too heavy. He had too many big Latin words in his head. That is when you go for nice walks. When your head is too heavy. 

Irish tea helps you when you have a heavy head. Or the special lemon cookies. From the way tasty heavy bread store. It is known. 

Zita went to see Mister God this afternoon. In our big church. Up the street. Where the very fast bats live. 

There is not so much singing if you go today. Zita says it is easier to talk to Mister God when there is nobody singing.

Craig says our church does not have very good songs. Too bad for us. 

Some churches have good songs. That people like to sing. Not ours. Oh well. We have beautiful full of colours giant windows. Red and blue and green. Good for us. 

Mister Saint Newton likes red apples. It is known. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty One

It is a beautiful day. Zita and I went for a nice walk this morning. On the quiet streets. With all the way big trees. It is the streets we go on when it is way too hot. 

We did not go down our street to the pond. It is way too noisy and dirty and all covered in big diggers. Too bad for us. 

When we got home we had big fat toasts. I got a giant piece. Ha. 

Zita drove Emmet to his nice university. It is his stay all day at the university day. 

Craig went to the dance a lot school to get Niamh. At lunchtime. Her head was not feeling all ok. 

Then we made the house all spic and span. We cleaned everything. With the noisy machine. Even all the books. And the little cars in the den. Ha. 

Everything all spic and span and squeaky clean. That is good.

Niamh helped too. 

I was a big help too. I stayed in the bedroom to be a big help. Good for me.

I am going to the make me beautiful store next week. The go fast chair will not go all upside down again. Craig told me. That is good.

Niamh's head got all better so fast. She and her dance a lot friends are going to a movie. All together. Ha. 

Craig went and got Emmet at his university. Before our tasty diner time. So he would not be late and have a grumbly tummy. 

I have a nice before bedtime dessert so I do not have a grumbly tummy. That is good. Grumbly tummies are not nice at night. It is known.

Universities are very busy places. All full of people and tasty donut stores. And books. And very old professors. Emmet told me. Ha. 

Later Emmet might be a professor who knows all about the way old Gods. Only when he is way old too. 

You have to be old to be a professor. Like professor Jill. Or professor Aleck. 

Professor's have to have nice dogs. Like my friend Jamie. Ha.  That will be good. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty

It is a very beautiful day. Zita and I went for a long walk this morning. 

Last night we had a very nice walk. We went all the way to the new big bank on the busy street. 

They give very polite dogs giant treats at this bank. That is why Zita and I go there. Good for me.  

There was another dog in the bank. It was a special helper dog. I did not talk to it. You can not talk to special helper dogs. They are too busy being a big help. It is known.

Zita had to write to all the rascal ladies today. I guarded her. I was a big help too. 

Last night Lilly and Niamh were cooking bananas in the kitchen. I do not know why. They were very loud. I went in the den to guard Craig. 

We watched a program about finding way old castles. All covered up in dirt. 

It only had all falling down walls and no roof at all. You cannot live in the castle or you would be just all the time soggy. You can only look at it. Oh well. 

And dig big holes. Ha. I am a good big hole digger. It is known. 

Emmet is making long long lists of all the very old Latin words. I do not remember all the Latin words Emmet tells me. Oh well. 

Craig and I played catch the ball today. He is not so sore today. That is good. Playing catch the ball is good for you. If you are not too sore. Ha.

The squirrels were on the hedge in my side yard this morning. I chased them all away. I hate squirrels. 

They should not be in my hedge. It is not theirs. This side is mine. The other side is Maggie's. Not the silly squirrels. I hate squirrels. 

Zita used the noisy make the floors all spic and span machine this afternoon. I stayed in the bedroom. On my comfy duvet. 

Niamh is going to be at dance a lot until late tonight. We will have our tasty dinner without her. I do not like that. 

We are having own made tasty hamburgers. We are cooking them outside. On the very hot do not touch outside stove. 

Everybody should be at home. Where I know where they are. And they can give me treats for being a way good guarding everybody dog. 

I will wait up for my friend Niamh until she comes home to her big comfy bed. 

There are lots of very noisy big trucks making the brand new sidewalk. There are all sitting on my corner. 

It is not a very beautiful sidewalk. Oh dear. I will not like it so much.

I can not see my nice pond. Because of the noisy trucks. That is not right. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty Nine

It is a nice quiet day. Nobody was upside down today. That is good.

Zita and I went for a nice walk. It was all warm again. That is silly.

Zita drove Emmet to his nice university this morning. Early. After she drove Niamh and Julia to the way early special dance a lot clas.

Craig did not drive him in the little silver car today. He is a bit all too sore. Because he was all upside down yesterday. Oh dear. 

I did not have to sleep right beside him today. Craig told me the go fast chair will not go all upside down in the house. That is good. 

Emmet finished his story about the broken house war. Now he has to read even more books. All about the way old mountain people. Oh well. 

Niamh is writing little short stories that sound like songs. That is nice. She is a way good writer. 

I can not write. Nobody teaches dogs how to write. Too bad for us. Too bad for people. It is known. 

Craig writes all my stories for me. Because we are friends. Sometimes he reads me stories from his interesting books. Good for us. 

Craig is still the nice policeman. From way far away France. Some nasty men hit him with a big stick. His very brave dog will not like that. 

They will be sorry. It is known. Because somebody always has a bigger stick.

We had toasty ham sandwiches for our lunch. That is good. 

Zita was working with the rascal ladies all morning. And last night too. I was a big help. This morning I did not bark at all. Not even one time. I remembered all the rules. Ha. Good for me.

The way noisy diggers are making a brand new never before sidewalk on my street. Beside our beautiful pond. Where my friends the ducks swim. 

I like nice soft grass better. It is known.

Zita is going out to dinner tonight. With all her lady friends. Not the rascal ladies. Old friends ladies. To a nice little restaurant. Not a table sheets restaurant. 

I will stay here to guard everybody. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty Eight

I had a very too much exciting day.

I did not go to the make me beautiful store this morning. At all. 

When we went to go to Zita's big car Craig's go fast chair turned upside down. With him in it. Under the silver little car. I saw it. He was just all quiet. His head bounced on the driveway. That is not right. 

I was way upset. And I barked and barked. Craig should not be all upside down. It is known.

Zita ran out to help. I could not help. I had to stay in the house. 

Niamh ran very very fast to get doctor Susan. With no shoes on. Doctor Susan looked at him. At his head. And his eyes. 

Then she came in my house. To tell me Craig was all ok. 

That was not true. I know when people are all ok. He was not all ok.

Zita and doctor Susan's husband had to get the go fast chair from under the silver car. And help my friend Craig get in the go fast chair. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

When Craig came in the house I was way happy. I gave him lots of kisses. And Zita too. I was very worried. It is known. 

Zita thought he would have to go to the nasty food hospital. He did not. That is good. 

Then I stayed right beside him. So the go fast chair would not fall over again. 

He and Zita had two cups of too much coffee. And some toasts.

I got toasty bits because I am a good nurse. I had to stay with Craig. All day. To guard him all safe. And not all upside down.,

I will go to the make me beautiful store another day. Craig said I am still all beautiful. Ha.

Doctor Susan drove Niamh and Lilly to the dance a lot school. So they would not be late. And get in trouble. 

Craig just stayed in the den all day. With his books. We did not play catch the ball so much today. Because of the upside down. Oh dear. 

He is still the nice policeman. In France. With the brave dog. That is right. 

We had peanut butter and tasty jam sandwiches for our lunch. Me too.

Zita had to go to the way too small office. Downtown. For another meeting. I stayed here to guard Craig and Emmet. Emmet is studying a lot. He made lots of Irish tea today. 

Maybe we will watch a nice quiet program on the television tonight. That would be nice. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty Seven

It was not a rainy day today. Just a nice little windy day. With fat clouds. 

Zita and I went for a nice long walk. All over. We saw my friend Jamie and professor Jill. We walked altogether. That was nice. I had not seen Jamie for a long time. He is fine. 

Today is a way early day for everybody.

He has a helper. And a little dog. The dog does not help him very much. It is a very little dog. Not like me. Oh well. 

Zita has to go to an important meeting and Niamh has to teach dance a lot until late tonight. 

I will guard the two boys all by myself. And wait for Zita and Niamh to come home to their comfy beds.

I have to remind him. Because he is getting old. I push the go fast chair with my head. Then he remembers. Ha. 

A nice professor said he would teach my friend Emmet how to talk way way way old Irish. In his very own class. 

Not professor Jill or professor Aleks. Another nice professor. Who knows all about way old things. I do not know if he has a dog. 

Professors like to teach things nobody knows. That is good.

Zita had to use the shovel to fix the hole. And clean the whole side yard all again. There was so much water everywhere I could not go into the side yard. 

Even when I was all dry. And nobody said I was a big help anymore. That is not very nice. 

I thought everybody would like a nice big hole to play in. They did not.

And they told Craig when he came back from his old friends breakfast. He was sad too. Oh dear.

Craig and Zita went for their tasty dinner last night. With their friends. 

When they went to the nice restaurant were lots and lots of people on the street. Because there was a way noisy concert up on the busy street last night. Where the restaurant was.

Niamh wants to paint her room all band new colours. I do not know why. Oh well.

Craig is making Niamh's old computer all brand new for Zita. Because it is a fast one. Not too slow like Zita's other computer.

Craig's go fast chair is not so fast. I am way faster. It is because he is old. 

When we go to the drink coffee outside store I have slow walk. Or he will be left all behind. And get lost.
