Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Four

I had two walks again today. In the morning. Ha. Good for me.

We took Craig to his old friends breakfast. So he would not get all lost. When you get old you get all lost. 

Craig and Zita went shopping. After lunch. I had to guard Emmet and Niamh. 

Niamh was still all fast asleep. Because she did not get home until way way late last night. 

She was at another party. With Miss Rowan. Again.

Niamh and Cara and Lee came to my house. To make very scary pumpkins. And play way loud music. 

It is hard to have a nice nap when there is lots of way loud music. It is known.

They are all going out tonight to get free candy. Ha. And scary people will come to my house for free candy. That is silly. 

Niamh is going to another scary party. On Mister Aidan's street. 

Miss Rachel's mother came to our house with presents. Wooly socks for Miss Rachel in way far away Ireland. And a way beautiful party dress. 

Zita will take them with her to Ireland so Miss Rachel can go to nice parties. And have warm feet too. 

It is not so warm in way far way Ireland. It is just all soggy. The big bright sun can not find its way to way far way Ireland. Too bad for them.

Rachel's mother brought special way fat sticky scones for Craig. They are not for Poppy. Too bad for me. 

She is from far away Ireland too. From where nobody lives. At all. Just all wet rocks. Oh well.

I can not bark at all the scary people tonight. Because they are just little. And big barking will scare them. Oh dear. 

I am a big help when the scary people come to my house. Zita told me. It is true. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Three

GNiamh got up way way early this morning. In the still dark. Because of dance a lot. 

Zita and I got up too. Craig did not get up.

Miss Julia and Niamh went to dance a lot in the white little car. Not the giant car. Miss Julia had to be at dance a lot way early too. 

Zita and I went for two walks this morning. Ha. Good for us. 

We did not see my friend Jamie. It was too early. He was still fast asleep in his comfy bed. Like Craig. Ha. 

It was a very nice day outside. No windy rain. Just big blue sky. All the way up to heaven. 

When we got home we had special fat crunchy toasts. 

Craig and Emmet had to go to their nice doctor. She had to shoot them. So the nasty flu can not catch them. And make them way too sick. 

I think their doctor should shoot the nasty flu. Not Craig and Emmet. It is known. She could use Emmet's canon. Ha. 

Zita went to see Niamh on the giant stage. At lunchtime. At the dance a lot school. 

Niamh told me that my friends Miss Julia and Miss Rowan were there too. On the giant stage. They had all different dances. Not Niamh's. 

I could not go. I had to guard the house all by myself. Because Craig and Emmet were all gone away. To their nice doctor. 

When they got home Craig and I had our peanut butter sandwich. For our lunch. 

Niamh was way tired last night. We did not have any tasty for just for bed time pizza. Oh well. She had a nice bath instead. Too bad for me. 

There were lots of awful squirrels on my street today. Oh dear. A little fast dog chased them all up a tree. Ha. He did not catch them. Oh well. 

Zita came home with lots and lots of tasty food. So Craig and Emmet and Niamh will not all starve to death. When Zita is in way far away Ireland. Ha. 

Zita has to leave lots of tasty food in our house or Niamh would only eat ice cream and too skinny noodles. 

Emmet would only have pasta and croissants. And his favourite cheese. Every day. 

Craig would just eat peanut butter toasts. And too much coffees. Too bad for them. 

I eat frozen peas and our very own green beans and brand new carrots. Ha. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Two

It was a very windy day. Zita and I went for a long walk. In the wind. 

We met my friend Jamie and Professor Jill. Ha. Good for us. Except I nearly knocked Professor Jill over. Oh dear. 

I like no rain windy days. You do not get soggy in the just all windy days. 

The winds make my ears go all flappy. Ha. Good for me.

Craig had a little sleep in today. I did not wake him all wide awake. I was a good waiter. Then we played catch the ball. 

We had fat crunchy toasts. Ha.

Emmet went for a long walk. After lunch. He had his new hat on. It has a tail. Bigger than mine. 

I have a way little tail. Some Bouvier dogs have way long tails. I do not. Oh well. 

Emmet did not fly all away in the lots of wind. Craig was wrong. Ha. Too bad for him.

Niamh was way tired last night. She went right to bed after dance a lot. I helped her eat her pizza. Right in her comfy bed. I am I big help with pizza. 

She is going to bed early tonight too. She told me. Maybe we will have more pizzas. Maybe. 

Tomorrow Niamh is going to be on the very big stage at her dance a lot school. To dance. 

Craig and Zita are going to go. So they can clap a lot. That is good. 

I am not going. I can not clap. Only bark. And have a very waggly tail. Sometimes loud barking scares people. Oh well.

Craig and Emmet are going to their nice doctor tomorrow. In the morning. To get shot. So the nasty flu can not catch them. That is good. 

Zita had to go to the too small office again. To fix everything all up. Before she goes to way far way Ireland.  

We have pumpkins on our front steps. Because the way scary people night. Oh dear. 

There are too many squirrels today. They want to steal our way big pumpkins. Ha. Too bad for them. 

I hate squirrels. Maybe the winter wolves will eat them all up. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and One

I stayed up very late last night. To help my friend Niamh with her brand new stories. I was awake nearly all the time. Good for me.

Miss Julia came way early this morning. To take Niamh to her dance a lot practice. Niamh was still nearly all fast asleep. In the car. Ha.

Then Zita and I went for a nice walk. 

All the diggers are all gone. We can have nice walks on our own streets again. That is good. 

The men made a new sidewalk. Right beside our pond. I do not like it. We do not walk on it. Too bad for them. Ha.

We only played catch the ball a little today. After our toasts. 

We have lots and lots of way windy rain today. 

You can not play catch the ball in the windy rain. Or you will be all soggy. 

Craig said the too much wind will fly him all away. Like a balloon. Oh dear. 

That is not true. I would hold onto him. He would stay right here. In our nice side yard. I am very strong.  Zita says so. When I am a too much pulling dog. 

Emmet went to the brand new too expensive food store. On the busy street. 

To get their way tasty very very long bread. And some delicious cookies. 

He was all soggy when he got home. Not the cookies. Or the tasty bread. Just him. That is good.

Craig made sure Emmet's very new long story was all beautiful. And Zita too. That is good. 

Then he was a Viking again. Not a new Viking. The same nice Viking from his other books. 

He is not so very young anymore. He has a very fierce dog. To help him. And his famous sword. Ha. Those are good books. 

Some people want my friend Niamh to make up a brand new dance. Just for them. That is good. 

Niamh likes making brand new dances. Jump all around dances. With way loud music. Not toe dances. It is known.

We are having a way warm tasty dinner tonight. Because of the way windy rain. And the cold. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred

Zita and I went for a nice walk this morning. It is a all day cold day. 

The green grass was all white and hard. Beside the other pond. Winter is coming. Ha. 

We saw my friends the ducks. They were waiting in just the little bit of water in the pond. Before their vacation. To their no snow ponds. 

Zita was busy today. Reading Emmet's story. And talking to the rascal ladies. 

A man came to make the keep the house all comfy warm machine all spic and span. That is good.

Last night every thing went all dark in my house. And all the houses on my street. All over. And the busy street too. 

Emmet went out for a little walk to the busy street. Just in case Niamh got all lost in the dark. 

That is what big brothers do. He did not take his Viking axe with him. Or his canon Craig made for him. Or even me. Oh well. The all dark is scary. It is known.

There were no fierce wolves hiding in the bushes. That is good. The scary wolves wait until all the snow comes. So they can hide. It is known. 

Then the lights all came on. Just all of a sudden. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Zita had to go to the too small office today. To get her important work all over. Before she goes to way far away Ireland. On an aeroplane. 

Niamh was up way late last night. Because she had a remember everything exam today. I do not like exams so much. 

She has to finish her way big brand new story tonight. Maybe I will stay up to help her. 

Maybe there will be cheesy treats. Because sometimes people have to stay up way late to write a lot. Then they alway have tasty treats. Ha. Good for me. 

Craig and I had a peanut butter sandwich for our lunch. We did not have any tasty jam. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

I had a nice nap this afternoon. Then I had another nap. Because sometimes nice naps make you all tired.

I had to use my nose. I have a way big nose. Then he was all awake.  Ha. 

He just wanted to stay in the big comfy bed. He cannot play catch the ball with me. When he is in the comfy bed. Oh dear. 

That is why dogs have nice cold noses. Because people like to have too may sleep ins. Ha. Too bad for them.

When he was all wide awake we played catch the ball. Good for me. 

It is not warm today. Just all sunny and windy. It is a own made sweaters day. And fat gloves.

After toasts Craig had to read Emmet's all new stories. Too make sure they were all beautiful. 

Then he had to read Niamh's new stories too. Craig is a good reader. Everybody writes and Craig reads. Ha 

Niamh is still a bit caught by the nasty coughing. Oh dear. 

Emmet is way busy again. Writing another brand new story. For his nice university. He went for a long walk. Because his head was too full. Of old mountain people. Oh dear.

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety Eight

I had to stay up way late last night. To wait for Niamh and Miss Rowan to come home from their party. Craig waited up with me. That is good. 

We just watched the men play hockey. Craig's team did not win. 

When they came home everybody went to bed. It was just Craig and I all fast asleep in the big bed. Because Zita was away in the nice hotel. With all her lady friends. 

We had to get up early. Because of the awful squirrels. They were on my fence. That is not right. I hate squirrels.

Emmet did not forget to read anything. Because he likes reading all his very interesting books. Good for him. 

He has two big brand new stories to write. He is writing about the stories people told about the way old Gods who lived in the mountains. A long time ago. 

I do not know why they lived in there. It is way too cold in the mountains. 

Maybe they are like Jamie. Jamie likes the way too cold. He is very fury. Even his feet. Ha.

Niamh found her brand new glasses. She lost them when she was caught by the nasty coughing. Now they are found again. That is good.

Craig is still a Viking. He is all lost in way far away in Ireland. Everybody is chasing him. Even other Vikings. Oh dear. Viking stories all always too scary. It is known. 

Zita is coming back to our house this afternoon. That is good. 

I do not like it so much when my people are not all here. I cannot guard them when they are not all with me. It is hard being a very good guarding dog. It is known.

I had a quiet day today. I like quiet days. You can have nice naps on quiet days. 

This morning Niamh and Miss Julia went to their dance a lot school in the giant car. Again.

Zita made our garden all spic and span before the too much snow comes to hide everything. 

Then I helped Zita. She had to talk to all the rascal ladies on the telephone. I guarded her.

Sometimes the too much snow jumps right out of the sky. As a surprise. Oh dear. That is why we get the special do not get stuck in snow tires. 

On our walk I saw the giant bird in the all empty pond. It was just having a little rest before it has to fly far away for a nice vacation. Way down where it is all warm. With no snow at all. Ha.

I like to play catch the ball too. That is good.

The nasty cough has still caught Niamh. She had to go to the nice doctor and then to the hospital. So they could take inside pictures of her. Oh dear.

She can not go to the party tonight. Her doctor said so. Oh dear. She has to use special in a funny bottle medicine.  Too bad for her. 

It is Emmet's all day at his nice university day. And Craig has to go downtown so they can make pictures of his fingers. It is the rule.

He told me it was silly rule. Oh well. 

I will not tell our nice Queen. Or she might chop his head all off. Oh dear. Our nice queen does not come to visit our house. Because she lives in way far away England. In castles. Ha. 

We just have a nice house. Not a castle. We do not have any scary ghosts. Just a scary basement 

I am guarding the house. Even the scary basement. A lot. 

Zita took my keep the flys out floppy door downstairs. That is what we do. Before the way too cold comes. 

All our newspapers are nearly all gone. I did not bark at anyone. I got cheese treats. For not barking. Ha. Good for me. I like cheese. A lot.

Everybody has their keep you all cosy coats upstairs. Not in the basement anymore. 

Craig has lots of coats. Even leather ones.  One with no arms at all. That is silly. It will not keep you all cosy warm. 

We have a new duvet on the big comfy bed. It is way old. It is not my duvet. Some ladies made it for Craig way long ago. 

I have to be careful with it. Because it is way old. Like Craig. I have to be careful with Craig too. Ha. Too bad for him.

Craig's friend from far away is coming to our house tomorrow. For a tasty breakfast. 

She makes lots of movies. And the way scary Vikings stories. The ones we watch on the television. 

She promised not bring any Vikings with her. Craig told me. That is good. Way dangerous Vikings are not nice company for tasty breakfasts. It is known. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Eight

Zita and I had a nice walk this morning.

Everybody else was all fast asleep in their beds. Even Craig. 

He did not get up until after my breakfast. He had a sleep in. I jumped on the bed a lot. Then he got up. 

The cold has still caught my friend Niamh. She was all too hot last night. You can not go to school when you are all too hot. It is known.

She is still in bed. That is good. When you are sick you have to stay in your bed. And drink tea. And have nice naps. 

Maybe she will have to go to see her doctor tomorrow. Oh dear. She does not like going to the doctor. She does not get treats. Oh well. Too bad for her.

The nice men came to my house today. With the very big truck. With all our newspapers. I did not bark at them at all. That is good. 

They put lots of newspapers in the gold big car. So Zita can give them to all the stores on the busy street. 

My cousin Mattie's Mister Garry came to get lots of newspapers. To give to the other people. To give to all their neighbours. I like Mister Gary. He is my friend too.

Mattie went to the make me beautiful store too. That is good.

Emmet went for a nice walk. He had to put his warm socks on. Because the summertime is all over. Too bad for us. Now he likes to wear his all nice and warm leather jacket. And his toasty warm boots. 

We watched the very old detectives last night. In the den. They are very funny detectives. Like Uncle Bill. He was way funny. It is known. 

Sometimes I think he talks to me. When I am way fast asleep. When Mister Saint Newton is very busy. Maybe. Oh well.

Then we watched just a bit of the hockey game. Craig's team won. Sometimes they win a lot. But not all the time. Oh well.

This afternoon Craig and I waited for all the people to come and get the newspapers. They are in a big pile in my side yard. It is not very interesting. I had a nap. 

Zita is going to the dance a lot school tonight. To talk to all of Niamh's nice teachers. Ha. 

She is going with doctor Susan. Because Miss Lilly goes to the same school. She goes to the write lots of interesting stories part of the school. Not the dance a lot part. 

Miss Rown and Miss Julia go to the dance a lot part. With my friend Niamh. Ha.

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Seven

It is a not so warm day outside.

After Zita drove Emmet to his university we went for a nice walk. All around our ponds.

I saw my friends the ducks. They are all going away. It is their vacation time. 

They can not stay here. All the water is leaving the beautiful ponds. And the canal. 

Because Winter is Coming. It is known.

Then they will have nowhere to live. Because of the all empty ponds. That is why they all go on vacation 

They put all the water back into the very big rivers. Until it is time for all the flowers to come back. 

Then the ducks come back to see all the beautiful flowers. Right beside our ponds. And to have nice naps under the giant trees. Ha. 

When the ducks are there I sit right beside the pond and watch them swim all around. I do not bark at them anymore. You do not bark at your friends. It might scare them.

When we got home we had giant fat and crunchy toasts. Ha. Good for me.

Niamh did not go to her dance a lot school today. The fast cold caught her. She has to take medicine. And stay in her comfy bed. Too bad for her.

Her dance a lot friend Miss Lyndsey came to our house. She brought Niamh her most favourite coffee from the way too much money coffee store. That is nice. 

They went to the other room in the basement. To talk a lot. Not in the way messy room. They are in the one with Poppy's nice and comfy sofa and the play lots of games machine. 

I went down the scary stairs with her. So she would not get all lost. 

Then Miss Rowan came over with even more coffees from the other too much money coffee store. Niamh has lots of coffee friends. It is known. 

My friend Mister Aidan is back in his house. He is very happy. It is hard to be happy in the hospital. 

Zita had to go downtown to the way small office. Because of the rascal ladies. And the very important election. 

Craig says he does not know any of the rascals. This time. He says that is good because we need all new rascals. 

I do not know any of the rascals either. Too bad for them. 

Mister Bill is going back to the make loud music island. To take more beautiful pictures of the the people. That is nice. I will guard his house too. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Six

We had a way happy dinner last night. For my sing happy birthday day. There were lots and lots of friends here. Niamh and Emmet's friends. 

They all came for the tasty thank you for everything dinner. So they would not all starve. 

Everybody laughed all the time. Until way late.

We had special lemonade. In cans. From way far away Italy. Emmet had lots. To help him talk his way old Latin. I think. 

When everybody was laughing I had a nice nap. Sing happy birthday days make you way tired. It is known.

Today is a too soggy day. With too much wind. Zita and I did go for our nice walk this morning. We did not want to be all soggy.

Last night Craig and Zita sang my happy birthday song. It made me very waggly tail happy. 

Zita is very busy with all the rascal ladies again. Because of the election. And Emmet is a way old Roman all day today. Because of his remember everything exam tomorrow. 

Niamh will be at dance a lot until late tonight. I will wait up. Until she is all in her comfy big bed.

My friend Mister Aidan is still in the other hospital. Maybe he will get out today. 

Yesterday his very old cat had to go to Heaven. 

Cats can go to Heaven too. Oh well. Maybe they are all nice in Heaven. You can only go to Heaven if you are nice nearly all the time. It is the rule. 

Mister Aidan was very sad. It is not nice to be sad and be in the hospital full of nasty holes. It is known.

I can not go in to help him be happy again. Because of the rules about nice dogs who can not visit their friends in hospitals. 

Even I could not visit my friend Emmet. When he was in the nasty food hospital. And he is my family. Oh dear. They are silly rules. 

People have lots of rules. Dogs do not have so many rules. We are just happy to be nice dogs. It is known.

Craig has to go way downtown. So they can make pictures of his fingers. He says they have too many new rules. Oh well. 

People like rules. It is known. Silly people. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Five

Today is my sing happy birthday day. Good for me. 

It was a beautiful day. All nice and warm. For my sing happy birthday day. Ha. 

I had two walks before our lunchtime.  Zita and I went first and there was no one outside at all. They were in their own houses all fast asleep. 

After our toasts Craig and Zita and I went for another long walk. To the drink your coffees outside store. Lots and lots of leaves are on the ground now. Because of the Fall. Ha.

We had special all covered in sugar croissants. I got croissant ends. And my own just for me bowl of water. Good for me. I was a perfect dog.

I did not chase any squirrels. Good for me. I hate squirrels. Squirrels do not have sing happy birthday days. Ha. 

I got new new special just for me food. Ha.

Niamh almost forgot to feed the cat. Oh well. Silly cats.

Nice Mister Nicastro's store was open today. When I was on our walk. On our way busy street. I did not steal anything from the big full of tasty things baskets. Good for me. 

Our kitchen was filled all full up with vegetables. For our special thank you for everything dinner. 

Because Miss Rowan is coming to my house. For dinner. She can only eat vegetables. And Miss Andrea too. She can eat everything. She goes to Emmet's nice university.

Zita was very busy in the kitchen. All day. I was a way big help. I got green bean treats. Good for me. 

We are having a turkey for our tasty dinner. And pie. And ice cream. And special cheese. Good for us. 

Niamh and Miss Rowan used the giant forks to get lots of brand new own made carrots from our garden. For our dinner. Ha.

I got some. Because it is my sing happy birthday day. It is known.

Then they went for a ride on the go fast bicycles. Because it is a way beautiful day. And not a soggy day. Or even too cold. 

At dinner everybody sang the happy birthday song. Just for me. That was nice. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Four

We did not get up so early today. Because it is a quiet all day Sunday. 

Zita and I had a nice walk. Before she went to visit our nice church. With professor Jill. Professor Jill makes music there. 

Craig says our church does not have very good music. Other churches have very good everybody sing out loud music. Not ours. Oh well.

That is why I can not go to church. I am not a very good singer. Zita says I am too loud. Craig is a bad singer too. Too bad for us.

Craig and I played catch the ball instead. Good for us.

When she got home Zita made not real toasts French toast. I do not get any little bits of that toasts. Too bad for me.

The French people should only make lots and lots of way tasty cheese. And nice wines. Not toasts. It is not real toasts. You do not put it in the toasts machine. Ha. 

Maybe they do not have toasts machines in France. Too bad for them. 

Niamh had to be all awake early today. She had to give Miss Julia's cat its food. Or it would starve. Oh well. Silly cats.

Zita had to use the way dangerous make the grass short machine. I had to stay in the house. It might make me all short. Oh dear.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Niamh and Craig's mother are going to the nice table sheets restaurant. For the thank you for everything dinner. 

I will guard our house. I will get treats. I got cheese treats on my tasty dinner last night. Good for me.

Zita said they will not be home not so late. Not like my friend Niamh. She likes the way late. I like my comfy bed.

They will be all home before it is all dark outside. That is good. 

I do not like the all dark outside. There are dangerous things in the all dark. Like wolves. And giant raccoons. People can not see them. 

People should not go out at night. Unless they have a brave dog to guard them. Like me. It is known. 

Tomorrow is the thank you very much for everything day. We are going to have a way special dinner. With friends. Because it is my sing happy birthday day. I am five. Ha. Good for me. 

I did not remember about tomorrow. Craig remembered for me. Dogs do not remember all the special days. Like Saint Santa's day. Or everybody's sing happy birthday day. 

That is why dogs have people to help. People like to remember all the special days. Good for us.

Maybe I will get a secret present. Ha. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Three

We had a nice quiet night. I did not have to get up in the middle of the night to guard anyone wide awake. 

Emmet went to visit his friend Miss Tara way late. After she got home from the hospital. They live not so far away. Even at night. 

Things are farther away at night. I do not know why.

Miss Tara had to talk to Emmet because he knows all about when they have to put holes in you. She was all worried about her brother Mister Aidan. Emmet had to make her not too worried. That is good.

If you do not have a nice dog to talk to you have to have old friends. And lots of tea. And tasty biscuits. It is known.

Emmet got home way late. I woke up. He was all right. That is good.

Craig did not go to his old friends breakfast today. Because we were up too late when Zita went stay with Mister Aidan. At the other hospital. Not Emmet's nasty food hospital. 

Zita and I had a very nice long walk this morning. We went to the nice bank. Who have the giant treats for nice dogs.  

And we went to Craig's mother's new place. To tell them we are going to out for the special thank you for everything dinner. With Craig's mother too. To the nice not so very far away restaurant. 

I am going to guard the house. All by myself. Ha.

We are going to have another special thank you for everything diner at my house. A different day. With friends. We will have lots of cheese. 

We always have tasty cheese when there are friends at our special dinners. Ha. Good for me. 

Mister Aidan has to stay in the hospital even more. Because of the all flat lung. You can not come home with a flat lung. It is known. 

He can not come to our special dinner. Too bad for him. 

I talked to Mister Saint Newton last night. All about Mister Aidan. Because he does not have a nice dog  to talk to Mister Saint Newton for him. Too bad for him.

Craig and Zita watched the program all about the lady detective last night. Emmet and I were way too sleepy. He went to bed and I guarded his stairs. Just in case. 

Niamh's friend Miss Rowan is coming to my house for a nice dinner. She only eats vegetables. 

I will share my tasty green beans with her. They are vegetables too. They are going to a party tonight. Again. Oh well. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Two

 I had a very very busy night. I was a big help too.

My friend Mister Aidan called my house. In the middle of the night. 

His lung went all flat again. In the hospital. It was a little bit scary. That is why he called us. We are not so scared about hospitals. It is known.

Zita went to the hospital in the little truck. In the dark night. I did not like that. I do not like the dark night so much. Because of the wolves. They hide in the bushes. 

Craig and I got all up and awake to wait for Niamh. She went to a too late movie. With all the dance a lot ladies. Even my friend Zoe. 

We made special in the middle of the night toasts. With the special tasty jam. Ha. 

Then Zita called us. She said all the doctors in the world were there. To fix Mister Aidan. They gave him lots of do not be too scared medicine. That is good. 

It is not nice to be scared. That is why Mister God made dogs. To help people not be too scared. It is known.

They had to make another nasty hole in him. Just like Emmet. Oh dear. I do not like that. Nasty holes hurt. For a long time. That is not right. 

When Niamh was home all fast asleep we had our special toasts. Then we went back to our comfy bed. I had to keep Craig company so he would not get scared too. Ha.

Zita did not get home until after Craig and I had our good morning toasts. I was very happy she was home. Craig too.

She had a nice bath. Then she had to go back to the hospital with Mister Aidan's special toys. From his own house. 

His parents are trying to find a way fast aeroplane to get all home. They are still in way far away. In the city that does not have any cars. Just little boats. Maybe they will be home tomorrow. 

When Zita came back from the hospital we had a nice nap. On the big comfy bed. There was not any room for Craig. Oh well. He did not need a nap. 

He has to read his interesting book. So the nice policeman can catch the nasty people. If you do not read the book nothing happens. It is known. 

Zita and I went for a nice walk. After I got in trouble. I hate squirrels. 

It is a not so nice day. A little soggy day. Like way far away Ireland. Everybody is soggy in way far away. Too bad for them. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty One

I had a nice very quiet day day. That is good.

Craig and Emmet went to the important meeting before our lunch time. 

I got a bit of a cheesy croissant for my lunch. Ha.

Then Zita went to see Mister Aidan at the other hospital. 

He can not come home to his own nice house tonight. They took inside of him pictures. He is not all fixed up yet. Oh dear. 

Maybe tomorrow it will be all fine. Then he will go home. 

Miss Tara will make him all comfy and cosy. She is his own sister. And she is Emmet's friend for a long long time. Even before school time.

It is good to have old friends. They do not mind if you do not like their favourite song. Or if you are a little bit smelly sometimes. It is known.

Jamie is my friend. Even when I way way little. He comes to visit me. Sometimes in my own house.

We go for our nice walks together all the time. Good for us. 

Jamie likes to be always in front. Oh well. I just walk beside Zita. Good for us.

Niamh can not dance at her dance a lot school. Because of her too sore foot. Oh dear. That is not right. 

My friend Niamh has to dance. Or she does not laugh so much. Oh dear. That is not right.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and I watched the nice detective last night. 

He does not have a dog. Just a daughter. And his nice wife. They did not help him catch anybody. Oh well.

I tried to chase a squirrel on my walk. Right at my front door. I got into big trouble. Oh dear. I could not go for a nice walk. Because I was in big trouble. Too bad for me. 

I had to wait in the kitchen for a very long time. Before we tried again. To go on our nice walk. 

When you are in big trouble you have to wait in the kitchen. All by yourself. I do not like that so much. Oh well. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty

We had a very busy night.

My friend Mister Aidan had to go to the hospital. The doctors had to make a hole in him. With a big tube into to his insides. Just the same holes as Emmet. Oh dear. 

His mother and father are not here. They are in way far away Italy. Eating tasty pastas. And visiting Mister Pope's house. Oh dear.

Zita went to the hospital last night. Until late. Because she knows everything all about making nasty holes in you. Because of Emmet. 

Zita is poor Aidan's Godmother. Not his real mother. Godmothers stop you from making big forever mistakes. It is their job. Ha. 

Dogs do not need Godmothers. We have Mister Saint Newton. Ha. Good for us. 

Craig took Niamh and Miss Julia to the way too early dance a lot practice today. In the silver little car. 

Zita took Emmet to his nice university in the Mahoney's little fat truck. 

Mister Aidan's sister has our gold big car. She can not drive the little fat truck. She hits too many things. Oh dear. That is not good.

Zita went to see Mister Aidan this morning to make sure the nasty hole is alright. He was all the time fast asleep. Oh dear.

Craig and I played catch the ball. That is good. Then we had Scotsman's scones for our lunch. And a little bit of used pizza. And my peanut butter treats. Ha. 

After our lunch Craig got Niamh from dance a lot school to visit Mister Aidan at the other hospital. To make sure he is still all ok. 

Niamh and Mister Aidan have been friends even when they were babies. That is why Niamh can yell at him. And he does not mind. That is what old friends do. It is known.

Emmet stayed late at his nice university. So he could speak even more old Latin. To his professor. 

That is what you do in university. And read big interesting books. And sit in the comfy chairs in the library where they keep all the interesting books. And the donuts. Ha.

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Nine

It was a not so cold day. I had a nice quiet day.

Miss Julia drove Niamh to way early dance a lot. Niamh can watch. Not dance. Because of her way too sore foot.

Julia's white little car is not so good. It tells lies. I do not know why. Our cars do not tell lies. It is known. 

Zita was way busy all day. With all the Rascal ladies. On the telephone.

Craig was busy too. He had to tell the nice queen where he lived and that he was not a nasty steal all her secrets spy. 

That is silly. Craig is not a spy. Zita's old Uncle Joe was a spy. A long time ago in way far away Ireland. When it was way dangerous. 

He was way dangerous. Emmet read about him in his very dangerous people class. I did not know him. Maybe he was too scary. I do not know. 

It is not dangerous here. Except for the scary wolves in winter. Who hide in the bushes at night. And jump out and eat you all up. 

That is why I have to guard Zita when we go for our nice walk at night. It is known. 

We should send the wolves to Ireland for a vacation. They do not have any wolves in Ireland. They just have way way big Irish wolf dogs. They must not be very busy. Ha.

I was a not a too much barking dog today. Only a little too much barking. Good for me.

Craig and I played catch the ball a lot today. That is good. 

Emmet was very busy with all his university stories. He went for a nice walk. He got some nice food for our tasty dinner. 

Emmet does not have a caught cold today. That is good. 

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Eight

Today was one of our early days. Oh well. 

It was a very quiet day for me. 

Everybody was way busy. Going everywhere in the cars. Except for me.

I guarded the house all the time. Good for me. 

Zita drove Niamh to her dance a lot school. Because of the way too sore foot. Then she drove Emmet to his nice university. 

We had little very crunchy toasts for our breakfast. Good for us.

Zita had to go to downtown. To the way too small office. For her important meeting. 

Craig went in the silver little car and got Niamh at lunchtime. At the dance a lot school. He took her to Zita's way too small office. Way downtown. 

Zita and Niamh went to Miss Louise's fix up all your sore bits store. So Miss Louise can fix Niamh's too sore foot. It is nearly right beside Zita's too small office. That is good. 

Then Craig went and found Emmet at his nice university and brought him all home safe. When he was finished with all his interesting classes. 

The caught cold makes his sore nose. He still has to take the awful medicine. Too bad for him.

He went to fast asleep right after dinner last night. Niamh too.

Zita and Craig and I watched a program all about way way far away India. A long time ago. 

In India they have lots of elephants. Ha. That is good. Elephants are very nice. And big. 

The Punics had lots of elephants. I remember their stories. Emmet told them to me. When I was little. It is known. 

Craig and I had Scotsman's scones for our lunch. All toasty with real butter. Ha. Good for us. 

Miss Louise said that My friend Niamh can not be a dance a lot lady for a whole week. Or the too sore foot will not get all better. Oh dear. She wrote a letter. Oh dear. 

We are going to drive her to dance a lot school. And all the way home too.

It is a not warm at all day. Craig put the make the house toasty warm machine on. Ha. 

We had a nice nearly lunch breakfast. All together. That is right. 

After lunch Emmet went for a nice long walk. To get his own treats. Because his head was all too full of way old Latin words. Ha.

Craig and Zita looked at Niamh's new dance a lot story. So it will be all beautiful. 

Professor Jill came for a little visit. The dangerous train did not fall over and crash. She came home all safe. That is good.

We watched a man on the television. Last night. 

He visited lots of way beautiful buildings in Russia. Giant old buildings. Some were all full of very big pictures. And one full of way famous toe dance ladies. 

The man was very brave. He went on the way dangerous Russian trains. To go to see the buildings. And some big churches with very fat pointy roofs. They have lots of beautiful pictures inside. 

And we watched the very old detectives too. They had to go to Scotland. To catch some nasty people.

Niamh did not sleep in her comfy bed last night. She was at her dance a lot friend's house. It is not so far away. 

Emmet has to take medicine that makes his face all funny. Because he got all caught by a nasty cough. Too bad for him.

We got new medicine for Emmet. Because he got caught by the nasty cold.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Niamh are going to the remember Uncle Bill's own made sausage party tonight. 

It is outside in a giant tent. I have never seen a giant tent. Sometime there are tents in the pond park. But they are not so big. 

Emmet is going even with his nasty cold. Because it is important not to forget old friends. It is known.

Auntie Louise gave my friend Emmet Uncle Bill's special Irish sweater. 

Emmet's Nanna made it all by her self. In way far away Ireland. It was for Uncle Bill's now you are old sing happy birthday day. 

Now it is Emmet's. That is good. He wore it tonight. To the tent party with all the own made sausages. Ha.

I am going to guard the house. All by myself. With treats. Ha.

Now it will just go and rest in the basement with all its friends. Some live in the den too. Oh well. 

My friend Miss Gracie is way happy. Her friend Miss Kelley got a brand new job. Like Craig. But she does not work for a nice queen. 

They do not have nice queens where they live. Too bad for them. No nice way way old castles either. Oh well. 

We watched a lady detective on the television last night. She is not so old. She has a very big fast car. With no top at all. 

She lives way way far away. With al the all bouncy kangaroos. Ha. We do not have bouncy kangaroos in my country. They do not like the way too cold.

It is a way nice day today.

Last night we had a ladies party. With wine. In my house. For only nice ladies. Like me. Ha.

Zita said I was the best party dog in the whole world. I am a big help at parties. That is true. 

Then I helped Craig watch the football game on the television. His team won. Ha. 

There was a giant noise. At our party. Everybody was scared. Even me. 

It was a soldier's aeroplane. It flew right on top of our house. Way too fast. Way too loud. I do not know why it did that. It was too scary. 

Emmet's windows all moved all around. That is not right. 

This morning Zita and I went for a nice walk. After our toasts. It is an all blue sky forever day. That is good. 

There were no loud scary aeroplanes at my house this morning. That is good. 

Emmet went to his nice university late. Because his sore throat got caught in his nose. Oh dear. 

Zita drove him. He took his medicine and he bought some of Mr. Horton's tea. And maybe a donut.

Craig is a Viking and the nice policeman in France. All at the same time. That is silly. 

You should only be one person. Or you will forget who you are. And get all lost inside your interesting book. Oh dear. 

There are no dangerous Vikings in the nice policeman's little full of tasty restaurents little town. They can not go there. Craig will get all confused. Oh dear. That is not right. 

People are silly. It is known. 

Craig said his friend Roger does not like being in the nasty food hospital because he can not see his dog. 

That is true. They do not let dogs go for friendly visits to see their families when they are in the hospitals. Even way nice polite dogs like me. That is not right. 

It is only a very little dog. Oh well.
