Day Two Thousand and Forty Five

Today is not the soon day. Oh dear.

Because of the too much snow in way far away Ireland. 

Zita can not even leave the house. She can not drive to the not very near aeroport.

Because Irish cars do not know how to drive in the even a bit of snow. 

They do not have any do not get stuck in the snow tires. Anywhere. 

So they just fall off the road and crash. Everywhere. Oh dear.

And there is not even any take the too much snow away machines. Anywhere. Oh dear. 

Maybe my friend Mister Kirian should go there and take away all their snow too. Ha. 

Now Zita has to stay in way far away Dublin. At her parent’s house. Oh dear. 

Until she can find the aeroport again. Under all the too much snow. Oh dear. 

Even the government in way far away Ireland cannot find their own giant buildings. 

And everybody has to stay at home. That is silly. 

Craig is not so happy. Because the big comfy bed is too big for just him and me. Oh dear. 

So I played catch the ball with him. Lots and lots of times. Ha. So now he is not so sad. Good for me. 

Before lunchtime I went downstairs to the basement to get Niamh and Orlaith all wide awake. Ha. Good for me. 

Then the man came to look at the not there yet new walls. In the basement. With his friend who makes walls all beautiful.

Then Mister Kirian came to our house and finished taking all the too much snow away. 

And he had a cold bagel. For his lunch. I do not know why. Oh well.

I was very busy today. 

Day Two Thousand and Forty Four

I was the best minder dog in the world last night. Ha.

I took Cousin Orlaith for our nice walk. After dinnertime. In the dark. 

When we were right at our empty pond park two dogs ran out of the park. Right at us. 

They were barking way too much. Cousin Orlaith was a bit scared. I was not scared. 

I stood in front of Cousin Orlaith and gave them my very fierce chew you up into little pieces growl. 

And then they ran back to the park right away. Ha. They were silly dogs. Too bad for them.

Craig and I had toasty croissants for our breakfast today.

Early this morning my friend Niamh had a nasty headache. 

So she went to her nice university. In her own comfy bed. With her own computer. Ha. 

Because Miss Jessie gave her a special number. So she could go to university on her own computer. That was nice. 

Then I got Orlaith all fast awake and I went for our nice after breakfast walk. 

Two people stopped us to say that I was a beautiful dog. Ha. 

That is true. And I am very fierce too. Ha. 

At lunchtime the present man brought new books for Niamh. For her nice university. She was very happy. 

Then she had a squeaky clean bath. 

After lunchtime Niamh and Orlaith went to the too much money for coffee store. 

To read their interesting books for their universities. 

Mister Kirian came to move even more snow. And the way too slippy ice too. 

I watched him. From my watching window.

Then I stayed in the house. To mind Craig and to have a nice nap. On the comfy rug in the living room. 

Then Mister Kirian had some too much coffees. And a cookie too. 

And he borrowed a big book to read. Ha. That is good. We have lots of very interesting books in my house. 

Mister Tom brought even more good to watch after dinner programs. From way far away Ireland. 

That is silly. Zita is still in way far away Ireland too.

Craig talked to her after lunchtime. On the telephone. 

He said she will be home soon. 

Soon is not a very good word. The big clock does not say soon. 

Sometimes soon is not very soon at all. It is not a good word for nice dogs. It is known. 

We are going to have an altogether dinner tonight. That is good.

Day Two Thousand and Forty Three

We had the used all the way from China tasty food last night.

And we talked to my friend Emmet. He was in his very little apartment. In way far away Antigonish.

We only talked to him when we were having our dinner. 

Because he is very busy writing more brand new long stories.

With lots of different books. From the little just for Emmet and his friends library.

You have to read lots of books when you are at your university.

That is why I cannot go to the very near our house nice university. 

Because I cannot read so very well. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

I would like to go to the nice university. 

Especially the comfy library and Mister Horton’s tasty donuts store. Oh dear. Too bad for me. Oh well. 

Now Emmet only writes brand new stories about the very old Irish people. 

Not about anybody else. I liked the old stories all about the Punics. 

Because they had very big fierce elephants. I liked the elephants. Ha. 

They do not have elephants in way far away Ireland. Only too much windy rain. Too bad for them. 

Craig and I played catch the ball lots of times today. Because it is not so cold outside today. Ha.

Then I had nice naps and minded Craig when when was reading all the stories for our nice Queen.

Niamh is minding the nice little girls tonight. At their house. She will have a tasty dinner there too.

Orlaith is at the Center Building this afternoon. When she comes home we will have our own tasty dinner too. 

But just Craig and Cousin Orlaith will have their dinnertime here tonight. And me too. 

My friend Zita is still not home in her own house. She is still in way far away. Going out with all the cousins. Too bad for me. 

Day Two Thousand and Forty Two

It is Sunday sleep in day. 

Craig and I had only a little sleep in. Not a big sleep in. 

Because I am in charge and I have to be all awake. To mind everybody.

And Craig has to make our tasty breakfast.

So we had our sticky bun breakfast together. And Craig had his too much coffees.

It is a nasty day outside today. It is just full of freezie wind rain. 

Now all our cars are covered in ice. Again.

So everybody is staying inside in the comfy house.

Miss Lily came over to do her writing with my friend Niamh. 

And Cousin Orlaith had a squeaky clean bath. To make her warm as can be. 

We did not go for a nice walk this morning. 

Because it is too dangerous. Because of the freezie rain everywhere. 

Craig and I looked out my watching window this morning. 

And we saw people fall right down and slide down the slippy sidewalk. On their bottoms. Oh dear. 

I do not want to fall down. Falling down is not so nice. 

One time I fell down and hurt my own leg. And I could not go for nice walks for a long time. 

We are going to have used Chinese food for our tasty dinner tonight. 

And maybe see my friend Emmet on Niamh’s computer. 

On top of our dining room table. Ha. That is good. 

Craig and Niamh talked to Zita this afternoon. On Craig’s telephone. She was in Auntie Eileen’s house. 

Auntie Eileen has a nice dog too. His name is Mister Sully. 

He lives in way far away Celbridge. In way far away Ireland. With all the lady cousins. 

He is not such a big dog. He can even get up on the sofa. Because he is not so big. 

I am too big. I can only get up on Cousin Orlaith’s bed that used to be a sofa. 

In the scary basement. Too bad for me. Oh well. 

All the outside games are over. Ha. Now we can watch the from far away detectives again. Ha. Good for us. 

Day Two Thousand and Forty One

I had a not so busy day.

It is Saturday old friends breakfast day. 

Mister Paul came here so he and Craig could find the old friends breakfast restaurant all by themselves. 

I did not have to help today.

That is good.

Because I had to guard Niamh and Orlaith. In the basement. They were still all fast asleep. 

Then Niamh had to go to the Centre Building. Before lunchtime.

Because she had to mind a little girls birthday party.

Then Craig and Paul and Orlaith had to go for a very long ride. In the black go fast car. 

To talk to people about Cousin Orlaith’s new job.

But the silly people did not even talk to each other. Now Cousin Orlaith has to do it all again. That is silly.

And when Niamh got home she was not so happy. At all. 

Because the people were not good listeners. Even at a Sing Happy Birthday party. Oh dear. 

That is not so nice.

It was not such a nice day for everybody. Except for me. I just guarded the house all by myself.

So we got lots and lots from food from way far away China. 

Even for Orlaith’s breakfast too. Ha. That is a silly breakfast.

And the nice man brought it to our house. I know the man. And he even remembered me. Ha. That is good. 

Then right at dinnertime Lily and Lee and Cara came to my house.

And they took Niamh and Cousin Orlaith all away to see a scary movie. 

So they would not be too sad about a not very good day. Ha. That is good.

When they went up to the busy street I minded Craig.

We watched more of the special outside in the cold games. And I had a nice nap too. That is good. 

One our go fast skiers won the going as high as a bird and not falling down at all contest. Ha. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand and Forty

I had a very quiet day today.

Craig and I did not get up way too early today. I even had my very own comfy sleep in. Ha.

But I did not have toasts today.

Because I had to go downstairs and get Niamh and Cousin Orlaith wide awake. 

Then I had to mind them. Until they were as wide awake as could be. 

So Niamh and Orlaith went to the too much money for coffees store. 

So they could read interesting stories for their own universities. And have their tasty treats.

Craig just read some stories for our nice Queen. I minded him. 

Then we had toasty peanut butter sandwiches with too much tasty jam. Ha. That is good. 

Then I had a very nice long nap. 

It was a quiet day. That is good. 

Minding Craig is not so hard. Ha. Good for me.

Auntie Eileen sent us a movie. Right on the flat computer. From way far away Ireland.

Zita and auntie Eileen were in a restaurant. Drinking only Irish drinks. Ha. 

There were real people there making music. Right in that restaurant. All by themselves. 

Not with a music machine. Ha. I saw them. Ha. That is nice. 

It was not so nice outside today. 

Because it is sometimes just freezie rain outside. 

We only played catch the ball a little bit. 

Because it is too slippy for the go fast chair. Maybe for me too. 

Before dinnertime Mister Kirian came to move more of the way too big snow hills on my patio.

That is good. 

Niamh is minding all the children at the dance night at the Centre Building tonight. Until late.

I will mind Craig and cousin Orlaith for dinner tonight. 

Craig’s hockey teams lost again last night. Oh well. 

Maybe next time they will win. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Nine

A nice man came to our house last night.

It was a Mister Pierre. He used to work with Craig. I did not know him before. 

Craig gave him the back seat of our very old very fast car. 

Niamh found it in the basement.

Because Mister Pierre is fixing the very old, very loud, very fast car all up. 

It is his car now. Oh well. 

When it is all beautiful again he is going to take Niamh for a very fast ride. 

He told her. And he promised. Ha. That is good. 

He even brought all the stuff Craig forgot in the car. A long time ago. 

Even before I came to my own house. Ha.

Craig and Mister Pierre talked for a very long time. So I had a nice nap. Ha. 

Then we went to bed. Just Craig and me.

Because Zita is in way far away Dublin. At her parent’s house. She is not here. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Craig and I got up way too early this morning.

Because it is the garbageman day. And maybe he forgot to put all the please take it away garbage at the end of our driveway. 

But Niamh and Orlaith remembered. And it was all done. Ha. Too bad for us. 

But we were all as wide awake as could be. So we played catch the ball. 

Even before our sticky bun breakfast. Ha. That is good. 

When Niamh was all awake she went to the too much money coffee store. 

To read new stories for her nice university.

Then after my friend Orlaith was awake I took her for a nice walk. 

It is not warm outside today. We went for a long walk anyway. 

Craig and I had toasty croissants and lots of the tasty from France jam for our lunch.

Then our friend Mister Kirian came to visit. And he took the big hills of too much snow away. 

He made new hills right at the street. Ha. Now there will not be big puddles on my patio. That is good. 

He had a sticky bun for his lunch. With us. 

Orlaith had to take money to my friend Niamh at the fingers store. 

Because Niamh forgot all her money here. That is silly. Oh well. 

Then Orlaith and I went for a nice before dinnertime walk. It was very sunny outside this afternoon.

Mister Tony’s friend brought us tasty pizzas for our dinner tonight. I like pizza bits. Ha. That is good. 

After our tasty dinner Niamh and Orlaith are going to see all their friends from the Centre Building.

And have beers and tasty dessert treats too. Ha. 

I am going to stay here and mind my friend Craig. All by myself. 

Maybe we will watch watch the fast skiing people. On the television. With chips. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Eight

I had a very quiet day today.

Because when I went to bed Zita was not here. 

And when I was awake she was in way far away Dublin. She was not here at all.

I had to sleep at the top of the comfy big bed. So Craig would not be lonely. It is my job. 

Because I am in charge. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Being in charge is an important job. 

But you cannot have nice naps all the time when you are in charge. 

Early this morning man came to look at our basement. 

To look at making brand new bedroom walls for my friend Niamh. 

Niamh and Orlaith had to be all fast awake to show him where the walls are not there. 

Then I took cousin Orlaith for a nice good morning walk. Ha. We had a very long walk today. 

We did not see anybody. Just us. 

This morning Orlaith’s father found Zita at the aeroport. In way far away Dublin. He did not get all lost. That is good. 

He took her to see her mother and father. At their different time house. 

I do not know why it is a different time in why far away. That is silly. 

This morning Craig and Paul went to the not very expensive breakfast store. For their lunchtime. 

When Craig came home he brought me brand new just for me fluffy towels. Lots of them. Ha. That is nice.

And sticky for your tasty breakfast buns. 

Tonight Niamh is going out to dinner with her friends from the Centre Building.

So I will only mind Craig and Orlaith at our dinnertime tonight. 

Because Niamh is away and Emmet is in far away and Zita is in way far away. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Seven

I had another bath last night. With all my lady friends helping.

Maybe because I was a bit too smelly. Maybe. Oh well.

Niamh and Orlaith and Cara and Lee all helped be a squeaky clean as can be dog. Ha.

With special just for me soap. 

And then they got the make you as dry as a chip machine. So I was all fluffy clean. Ha. Good for us.

When Lee and Cara went home Niamh and Orlaith made tasty own made giant cookies. Ha. 

I could not have any. 

Because of the way too much chocolate. Oh well. 

Last night Zita put all her nice clothes in the take you to far away bag. I do not like those bags.

Sometimes people go away to far away and do not come back to my house for too long. 

My friend Emmet is still in his new far away university. Not here for me to guard. I do not like that.

Zita is going to way far away today. After lunchtime. 

She has to go to the aeroport to find an aeroplane. 

Some aeroplanes do not know how to take her to way far away Dublin. I do not know why. Oh dear. 

When Zita is gone I will be all in charge again. Oh dear.

Miss Devon came to our house today to make it all neat and tidy again. With the noisy machines. 

I went downstairs to mind Niamh and Orlaith where it is not so noisy. So I had a nice nap on Orlaith’s fat bed. Good for me.,

Craig just stayed in the den. Reading stories for our nice Queen. 

Our dancers on the slippy ice won again. Ha. That is good. 

They do not ever just fall down. That is why they get all the prizes. Ha. That is good. 

When Niamh and Orlaith were all awake they went to nice Mister Kettleman’s tasty bagel store. 

So we had bagel sandwiches for our lunchtime. 

Mister Paul came to have his lunch with us. That was nice. 

After lunch I helped Zita move the black go fast car. Ha. 

Then Craig drove Zita to the aeroport in the silver little car. 

But when they got there Zita’s aeroplane forgot how to get all the way to way far away Dublin. 

So she had to find another aeroplane. And just go to not so far away Toronto.

Because the aeroplanes there know how to fly all the way to Dublin. All by themselves. Ha. That is good.

Cousin Orlaith’s father is going to catch Zita at the way far away aeroport in Dublin. That is good. 

When Craig came home Zita was gone to way far away. 

So now I am a sad dog. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Six

I had a long nice sleep in today. 

It is a special do not go to work holiday today. But Zita went to the rascal ladies office today anyway. 

Because she has to go to way far away Dublin tomorrow. On an very big aeroplane. 

To see her father and mother. 

Because they are old too. Like Craig and Mister Paul. Oh well. 

She will see Auntie Eileen and cousin Ciara and all the other cousins too. They are not so old. 

They are just all too dirty. 

Because they only can ride their go fast bicycles in the all the time rain. Oh well. Too bad for them.

After Craig and I had our nearly at lunchtime toasts Orlaith and I went for a long nice walk. 

It was not even a bit too cold today. That is silly.

I was a very soggy dog when I got home. And all my own towels are used up. Oh dear. 

Craig is going to get me brand new just for me towels. That is good. 

Everybody should have their own fluffy towels. 

Craig did not read any stories for our nice Queen today. 

Because of the special holiday. Ha. 

Now Craig is a detective in way far away England after the very old war. 

But he always remembers the war. It is right inside him. All the time. Oh dear. That is not very nice. 

Wars are not very nice to people. 

Sometimes even nice brave dogs like me go to the wars. 

To guard their friends. Oh dear. That is not so nice for them either. 

Some do not even get to go home with their own families. 

They have to go to heaven instead. And just wait for them. That is not all right. 

Maybe they live with Mister Saint Newton until their families are already to go there. Maybe. That is all right. 

After lunchtime Niamh and Orlaith and Lee and Cara went to see a movie. 

A movie all about a man who thinks he is a giant cat. That is a silly movie. 

People do not want to be cats. It is known. Ha. 

Zita was very busy After our dinner. 

Putting all her nice clothes in her big bags. To go to way far away. Oh dear. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Five

It is sleep in Sunday so everybody had a nice sleep in. 

Except Craig. He had a very long sleep in. 

He was not all awake until Niamh and Orlaith were all awake too. Ha.

Then we had an adventure. 

I took Zita and Niamh and cousin Orlaith to the busy street. All by myself. Ha.

And we went to see all the nice farmers. To buy tasty treats for our breakfast. Ha.

The sell you the very tasty meat man said he missed me. Ha. That is nice. He gave me my own treat. Ha.

And then we had to go to our bank two times. To get Irish money. 

I got treats both times. 

The nice people at our bank always give me the giant just for polite dogs treats. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita had to get from way far away Ireland money because she is going to way far away Ireland. 

Way soon. By herself. Without me. Oh dear. I will not like that. 

I will have be in charge again. That is a very hard job. It is known. 

We did not see my friend Emmet today at lunchtime.

Because he was at his library. At far away Mister Saint Francis’s university. 

Writing more brand new stories. All about very old Irish people. They are his favourite stories. 

There are even stories all about my friend Niamh. When she was the magic very beautiful Queen.

In long long time ago way far away Ireland. Those are good stories. 

Maybe we will see my friend Emmet tonight. Maybe.

Zita and Niamh and Orlaith were downstairs. Moving everything to new places.

I could not help. They said I was not such a good moving helper. That is not very nice. 

I had to stay upstairs. Just to mind Craig. 

So we would not just get in trouble. 

The ladies found a just for cowboys big hat. It was Craig’s. That is a silly hat. 

We do not have any cows in my house. 

Not even in the scary basement. Cows are too big. It is known. 

When they were all finished Niamh and Orlaith had to have squeaky clean showers. 

Because they were so so dirty. From the messy basement.

Orlaith and I went for our nice before dinnertime walk. But then I was way too dirty. 

So I had to have a squeaky clean bath too. 

Oh dear. Too bad for for me. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Four

It is Saturday go to the old friends breakfast restaurant day today.

But Craig did not go.

Because his all worn out shoulder was too tired to go. Oh dear.

So Zita and I did not take him to the up on the busy street restaurant. 

He had a little sleep in. All by himself. 

When he was all awake Craig and Zita and I had altogether toasts. In the living room. 

Then Zita and I went for a nice long walk. It was not so messy today. 

Because it is cold again. Oh well.

Niamh had a squeaky clean bath with very loud music. Oh well.

She said loud music makes you cleaner. I did not know that. Oh well.

We won even more fast skating medals. I saw them. On the big television. In the den. 

They were way fast. Lots of people fell down. But our people did not fall down. That is good. 

Zita got tasty Mister Kettleman’s bagels for our lunchtime. I always get bagel bits. I got one today too. Ha.

Then Zita and cousin Orlaith went to get lots of boxes. So we can put all the too much extra stuff in them. 

And give them to nice people who do not have any stuff. That is good. 

We watched a scary detective last night. I only watched a bit. 

Craig and I do not like the scary detectives programs. Ha. 

I am nearly not sick. But I still have to have my make your tummy all better medicine. Oh well. 

My friend Emmet is nearly not sick too. That is good. He told us. Last night. Ha. 

Next week is the do not go to your university week. 

So everybody can write all the stories they forgot to write. Oh dear. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Three

It is a do not go to school day for all the little children today.

So Niamh and Orlaith went to the Centre Building all day. To mind all the children. That is nice,

Zita and I went for a long walk before breakfast walk. 

I was a very soggy dog when we got home. 

Then Zita went to the rascal ladies office.

So I had a nice nap with Craig. Until we had our toasts.

I am nearly all better. But I am still a bit all the time tired. 

So Craig told me to have lots of nice naps. And we played catch the ball too. That was nice.

It was not so cold outside today. But everything is way slippy. Even the streets too. 

When Zita and I went for our before breakfast walk we did not fall down. That is good. 

I had a very quiet day. So did my friend Craig. We had a quiet day together. 

We looked out my watching window. At all the people in our pond park.

Then I had a nap. On the comfy rug. In the living room.

And minded Craig. He read some long stories for our nice Queen. 

Then we played catch the ball lots and lots of times. In the side yard. 

I did not even slip on the slippy ice. Ha. Good for me. 

Today in way way far away China they have another brand new year. I do not know why. 

Maybe because they are way far away and did not know it is already the brand new year. 

Maybe nobody told them. Maybe.

But their brand new year is for Dogs. Ha. 

That is a good brand new year. Ha. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty Two

I am not so sick today. 

So before Zita went to the rascal ladies office we went for a long walk this morning. It was not a nice walk.

Because everything is very messy outside. 

It is not so cold so our sidewalks are full of nasty cold water. 

I was very soggy when I go home. And tired.

So I had a big sleep in. On the big comfy bed. 

Even after Craig was all awake. 

Even until lunchtime when Niamh and Orlaith were all awake too. 

Everybody had a big sleep in.

Except Craig and Zita. Too bad for them. 

Being sick makes you very tired. Oh well. 

You cannot get all better unless you have lots of nice naps. 

The comfy big bed had lots of soft pillows.

We won even more prizes at the famous outside in the cold games. 

For going very very fast on the slippy ice. And not falling down. Ha. 

At lunchtime I went downstairs to mind Niamh and Orlaith. Good for me. 

Then I had my tasty from a can special food lunchtime. 

Because I do not want to have a sick tummy again. 

This afternoon cousin Orlaith and I moved lots of snow from our side yard. And off the roof of my little house. Ha. That is good.

I was a big help. It is known.

Then I was tired and had a nice nap on my own bed. In the kitchen. 

When Zita came home we had our altogether dinner. With me too. That is good.

Maybe we will watch new detectives tonight. And I can have a comfy nap minding everybody. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty One

I am still a bit too sick. Oh dear. So I had a quiet day. 

Last night Niamh and Orlaith and Cara and Lee and Miss Taryn all stayed in our house to be my lovely take care of me nurses. 

Until Craig and Zita came back from Mister Paul’s Sing Happy Birthday dinner.

At the nice food from way way far away China restaurant. Up on the busy street. 

And then Craig and Zita and I went to fast asleep.

Because being sick makes me very tired. 

We did not go for a nice walk today. I was too tired. 

We did not have toasts this morning because I had a long nap on the big comfy bed instead.

Then I had an outside nap. It is not cold today. 

Today is the tell everybody you love that you love them day. That is a good day. 

Everybody told me they loved me. Because I am their very best in the world dog. That is true. 

Zita got everybody tasty chocolates. That is nice. 

At lunchtime I got my tasty food. From a can. Ha. 

When you are sick you have eat only for sick dogs food. Lots of times. All day. 

And very cold water from my own from away far away Ireland cup.

When Craig was sick he only ate cold toasts. Not even with butter. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

After my lunch I had another fast asleep as could be nap. I minded Niamh and Orlaith. 

They were in the living room too. With me. Ha.

Then I had even another lunch. That is silly. Two lunches. Oh well. 

I went downstairs so I could mind Niamh and Orlaith and Miss Taryn. When they were reading for university. 

I minded them from the big comfy bed. With all the pillows. Ha. 

We talked to my friend Emmet tonight. On Zita’s fast computer. On the dining room table. When we had our altogether dinner. That is good. 

My friend Emmet got caught by the nasty cold. 

Maybe it was the same cold that caught my own tummy. Oh dear. That is not very nice. 

I do not know how it got to his far away university. Oh dear. 

Maybe it took the way too cold inside train. Maybe. Oh dear. 

Day Two Thousand and Thirty

Something caught me. I did not even see it. 

So I had a very sick tummy last night. Just like cousin Orlaith and Niamh. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

And in the middle of the night I had to go to my hospital. So I could visit my nice doctor. And get shot.

I was very brave. Zita told me. 

Now I have to eat special just for nice dogs with sick tummies food. 

And take sick tummy medicine too. Oh dear. 

When I got all too sick Craig and Zita were my own nurses. When it was dark as could be outside.

So I just stayed on my comfy bed in the kitchen. But I did not get all better 

So then we went to my nice hospital. In the black go fast car. 

We were only there for a little long time. 

Then we came home to my house. I did not have to stay there. That is good.

Sometimes when my friend Emmet went to his hospital he had to sleep there. For a long time. 

I would not like that. 

Niamh was my nice nurse too. Before she went to her university.

Then Zita had to clean the side yard all up. 

Because it was a bit all messy. Me too. Oh dear. 

It is not so nice being sick. It is known. 

I just stayed very quiet all day. And had nice naps.

I got my special for sick tummies food lots of times. That is good. 

Craig and Zita are going to a nice restaurant tonight. Up on the busy street. 

Because it is Mister Paul’s Sing Happy Birthday day. 

Niamh and Orlaith will stay here so I can mind them. 

Even when I am I bit too sick. Ha. Good for me. 

I did not go for any nice walks today. 

Because of my tummy. Oh well. Too bad for me.

Day Two Thousand and Twenty Nine

I had a busy day.

Zita did not go to the rascal ladies office today. 

Because she was there until late last night. Ha.

So Zita drove Niamh to her nice university. 

So she could give her nice Professor her brand new long story.

Then when Zita came home Craig and Zita and I had big tasty croissants for our breakfast. Ha.

A man came to our house today. To look at our basement. 

So Niamh can have a new nice bedroom downstairs. Right beside Emmet’s big bedroom. 

With brand new walls. And even her own door. Cousin Orlaith does not a door. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Then Mister Paul came to look at the basement too. 

We are going to take away the old walls. All by ourselves. Mister Paul will help. Ha. That is good. 

Orlaith went to the Centre Building to help with the little children. After our lunchtime.

Niamh and all her friends played the dragons game last night. With Emmet. That is good. 

I minded them all. Good for me.

Then Mister Tom came to visit us. 

He brought Craig another music machine. But it was not even black. It is from way far away. Ha. That is silly. 

Then Zita and I went for our long before dinnertime walk. That is good. 

Niamh is taking care of the nice little girls tonight. And having her tasty dinner with them too.

Not with us. Oh dear. 

Last night Craig and Zita watched the lady detective from way far away. 

Where sometimes they do not have a daytime at all. 

I did not watch it. I was too busy minding everybody downstairs. 

That is not very nice to have nighttime all the time. I like the bright full of sunshine outside. 

Because dangerous wolves and giant raccoons do not hide in the bushes in the sunshine. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand and Twenty Eight

I had a very quiet day. 

It was sleep in Sunday. But Zita and I did not have a sleep in. 

We got up early so Zita could read Niamh’s new big story and make it all as beautiful as can be.

Then Craig and I watched fast ladies going down very bumpy snow hills. On the little television in the bedroom.

Then Zita had to go downtown before we had our toasts. 

Because today is the important rascal ladies meeting.

Craig and I had two very fat crunchy toasts. And Craig had two too much coffees. 

And then we looked out the window. It is still all full of snow outside. Oh well.

Craig went to the tidy him up store yesterday. He was way too furry. Now he is not. That is good. 

Then Niamh and Orlaith were all awake. I went downstairs to to get them up. Ha. Good for me. 

Niamh and Orlaith and their friends went downtown to have an ice cream lunch. 

In the cold outside winter. That is silly. People are silly. Too bad for them. 

This afternoon they have to go to another important meeting. At the Centre Building. Until dinner time. 

At lunchtime Craig and I watched the far away outside games. On the big television in the den. 

And we watched toe dancing on the slippy ice. Not everybody fell down on their bottoms. That is good. 

I had a very nice nap too. 

Last night we watched the old detective. But when he was just young. 

In way far away England. In the city with the way way old university. 

Maybe my friend Emmet will go there. 

Because he loves way way old places. And people. Ha. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand and Twenty Seven

Today is Craig’s old friends breakfast day.

So he drove the silver little car to the breakfast restaurant.

Because we have lots of two much snow. 

Mister Paul went with him. 

Zita and I went for a nice walk. It is only a bit cold outside today. 

But it is very messy. I was very soggy when we got home. 

I had to lay down on my own towels. Until I was as dry as can be. 

Cousin Orlaith’s tummy is all better today. That is good.

But Niamh’s toe is still broken. And way too fat. Oh dear.

She is very busy writing her very big new story. For her nice university.

Orlaith helped Zita with the rascal ladies work. For the important meeting tomorrow. 

I minded them. All by myself. 

They had to go downtown to the rascal ladies office. To get important things. For the meeting. Tomorrow. 

I did not go. I stayed in my side yard and played chase the big red ball game. Ha. 

Craig watched the very fast skating ladies. On the television. 

They are very fast but sometimes they just fall down. I do not know why. Then they are very sad. Oh dear.

And men going way too fast on icy twisty hills. On too very small toboggans. That is a silly game. 

At breakfast Mister Tom gave Craig lots of brand new programs. 

To watch on the television. When we watch the far away detectives after our delicious dinners. 

That is nice. 

Last night we watched the detective from cousin Orlaith’s very old university.  

We did not have any chips. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand and Twenty Six

I was very busy last night.

Because the nasty cold caught cousin Orlaith. She had a sick tummy. So I had to help Zita be her special nurse. 

That is my favourite job. 

This morning it was way windy cold outside but Zita and I went for a nice walk anyway.

Then she went to the store to get some good for your sick tummy drinks. For Orlaith.

When she went to the rascal ladies office Craig and I had toasty bagels. 

We looked out the watching window for a while. It was not so interesting outside today. 

So I had a nice nap.

The exciting everybody in the world playing games outside started today.

Craig and I watched it on the little television in the bedroom. Before he was all fast awake. 

After our breakfast Niamh went to her nice university today. With a sore toe. Because she broke it. 

I do not know why. Either does she. 

Maybe it is a secret. Maybe ghosts. Maybe. 

Zita did not get home until late last night. 

So we had peanut butter toasts for dinner last night. In the den. 

So we could watch the detectives. 

And we had chips. That is good.

Craig’s hockey team won last night. Ha. He was surprised. Oh well. 

Craig and I played catch the ball at our lunchtime.

Because I asked very politely. Ha. That is good.

We had brand new peanut butter sandwiches for our lunch.

Cousin Orlaith is not so sick today. Just a bit too sick. So she had a toast for her lunch. 

But she did not have any nice jam. 

Because of her still sick tummy. 

Niamh is going to be at the Centre Building tonight making sure everybody is being a good listener. 

So she will not have her altogether dinner with us. Oh dear.

Day Two Thousand and Twenty Five

When Zita and Niamh and Orlaith got home last night they were as clean as could be. 

Because they had lots and lots of baths. Ha.

But a nasty person stole my friend Niamh’s floppy shoes. Oh dear.

I should always go with my family when they go outside. To guard them. It is known. 

But I did not have swimming clothes. That is not right. 

It was a bit too cold outside this morning. 

So I did not go for a nice walk. I had a nice nap instead.

When Zita went to the rascal ladies office Craig and I had warm from the oven croissants. 

With butter on top too.

We did not have any of the brand new tasty from far away France jam.

Because Craig could not get the top off. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

When cousin Orlaith was a awake I took her for a long walk. 

Because when she got up it was all full of sunshine outside and not so cold. That is good. 

Then Craig took Niamh to her important meeting. 

She was so busy writing a new long story she almost forgot. 

But Craig remembered. That is good. 

Yesterday I did not eat my dinner.

Because Craig forgot to put some tasty cheesie treats on top. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

So I had a very big before bedtime dessert. It had treats on top. That is good. 

I had a very quiet day. My bed is all fluffy comfy again. So I had some nice naps. 

My friend Zita put it in the make the clothes clean machine. That is good. 

Craig was reading stories for our nice Queen this afternoon. 

So I minded everything. At my watching window. Good for me. 

Orlaith and I went for another nice walk today. Before it got all scary dark outside. That is good. 

It was not very cold outside. I had to wear my green shoes. 

Craig said I look like a toe dancer when I wear my green shoes. That is silly. 

Sometimes he is very silly. It is because he is old. Ha. Too bad for him. 

Craig and Zita watched the detective from way far away Galway last night. 

I was downstairs guarding all the ladies. 

They were talking to my friend Emmet on the old giant television. 

He is still is at his far away university. 

He is learning how to be a very old Irish person. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand and Twenty Four

Zita was very very late last night. Even after our delicious dinner time. 

Because of too much work at the rascal ladies office.

So when she was all home we had a little tasty treats party. 

To eat the own made beautiful too much chocolate cake. Ha. Good for us.

Some of Niamh’s friends were here. So they could help eat the cake too.

Then we had a very busy morning.

It is another too much snow day. 

I was a bit way too soggy when Zita and I were all home. Oh dear. 

Then Zita drove Niamh to her nice lady doctor. 

When she got home she had to take the silver little car to the fix your car store. For just a little fix.

The way too much cold broke a piece of the keep the snow off your window machine. But now it is fixed.

But then Zita and Niamh and Orlaith went to the very hot swimming pool. That is where ladies go. 

Where they have little tasty treats for their lunchtime and drink tea. And talk. 

It is not so far away. 

I stayed here. 

Because you have to have go swimming clothes to go there. I only have just me. Oh well.

Craig and I had tasty very fat peanut butter toasts with jam for our lunch. 

And I helped him look out the watching window. At the too much snow. 

And I barked away the noisy snow movers. Ha. 

Mister George and Miss Suze were going to visit me today. 

But there is too much snow for Mister George’s old very big and noisy tractor. Maybe another day. 

We watched a new detective last night. From way far away Ireland. 

Right in the same city as cousin Orlaith’s far away university. 

But we did not see Orlaith there. Oh well. 

Craig’s hockey team won last night. Ha. 

We did not play catch the ball today. 

Because of the too much snow. 

The go fast chair always gets stuck in the too much snow. Too bad for me.

They are very messy cookers. Oh well. 

So I had my own sleep in today. Ha.

But I was all fast asleep and could not help to eat our toasts. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Craig and Zita did not help make the beautiful cake. They were just fast asleep. Too bad for them.

Maybe they can not have any.  Ha. 

I cannot have any because it is just full of not for dogs chocolate. Too bad for me. 

The awful noisy take all the snow away machines came to my streets last night. 

I do not like them. They are way too noisy. 

I bark and bark at them. So they will go away. But they do not hear me. 

Because they are too noisy. That is not right. 

Zita and I had a nice walk this morning. It is still a too cold outside day. Oh well.

Miss Devon came to my house today. To make it spic and span. So I had a big nap. In the big bedroom. 

Because of the noisy make the floors clean machine. 

Then I minded Craig. He was reading his book. 

I am a very good book reading minder. Because I am always very quiet. Craig told me so. It is true.

This afternoon Craig read one of my friend Emmet’s new very big stories.

It was all about his friends the way old Gods. Craig did not have to make it beautiful.

Because it was perfect. Craig told me. Ha. That is good.

Then Niamh went to her nice university. Today is her big test day. Oh dear. Oh dear.

We did not watch anything interesting on the television last night. 

Because it was Craig’s squeaky clean bath night. 

Then he just watched the football game on the little television in the bedroom. 

Craig did not read anything for our nice Queen today. 

Because the nasty cold made him way too tired. Oh dear that is not right. 

He should have a big nap on the big comfy bed.

Maybe we will have a nice nap together. It is nice to have cosy naps with your family. 

I took cousin Orlaith on a nice long walk today. After our lunchtime. 

It is a full of bright sunshine day outside. But the sunshine hurts cousin Orlaith’s eyes.

Because she is from way far away Ireland. They only have rain there. Not sunshine. Oh dear. 

Then she went to the Centre Building to help my friend Niamh with all the little children. 

Zita and I went for our before dinnertime walk. In the too cold very dark outside night.

Nothing caught us. I was very brave. Ha. Good for me.

Maybe we will watch the detectives tonight. Maybe we will have chips. 

Day Two Thousand and Twenty One

Today is sleep in Sunday.

 But Zita and I only had a little sleep in.

Because we had to go for our nice walk to see all the nice farmers. 

Way up on the busy street. In the more too much snow.

Because there was more snow all night. So everything was a covered snow. Again.

I got a very tasty treat from the nice farmer. He sells you the tasty meat for your dinnertime.

When we got home Craig was awake. He got out of the comfy bed. Ha. That is good.

He is not so sick today. That is good. But he was all awake all last night. Oh dear. 

Zita had to get him a very hot water bottle. In the middle of the night. 

Because of his too sore shoulder. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

I could not have toasts with him yesterday. Or peanut butter sandwich for lunchtime.

Because he did not get out of bed. Even for our toasts . 

Because he was too sick. Too bad for me.

Craig should not be all fast asleep all day. That is not right. I did not like that so much. It is known. 

I had to look out my watching window all by myself. That is not right.

Craig is my watching helper. It is easier to be a good watcher when your friend is your helper. 

So minded cousin Orlaith yesterday instead.

Today we had an altogether lunch. With my friend Emmet looking at us on Zita’s fast computer. 

We did not talk to him so much today.

Because he is very busy learning to be a way way old person from way far away Wales.

Zita and Orlaith are still making the basement as tidy as can be. They found treasures. 

A lots of balls that go everywhere table. Ha. That is good. 

Then Zita put boxes and boxes into the black car. 

To give to nice people who do not have enough too much stuff.

Niamh is very busy studying for a big exam tomorrow. Oh dear. 

The very last football game is on the television tonight. Ha. That is good. 

Last night cousin Orlaith went down our slide into the empty pond hill. 

On a toboggan. Late late at night. Then she was all soggy. Ha. That is silly. 

After our tasty dinner I took cousin Orlaith on a little walk. In the very dark outside. 

We did not get lost. And we did not see even one fierce wolf. That is good. 

Day two Thousand and Twenty

We only have a little stories today.

Because Craig is way too hot inside.

So he has to stay in bed.

And cannot write a long story today.

But it is only Craig who is sick.

Not me. That is good.

Zita stayed home to be his nurse.

Day Two Thousand and Nineteen

It is a very cold day outside today. Zita and I went for a little walk anyway. 

We did not freeze all up. That is good.

When Zita went to the rascal ladies office I stayed on the big bed to guard Craig. 

Because I think the cold caught him last night. 

He was all awake lots of times. I know because I had to move all the time to get all comfy again. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

But we did not have a big sleep in. 

Because we had to have our good morning toasts. And some too much coffees. 

Colds are afraid of peanut butter toasts. It is known. 

Then cousin Orlaith had her Irish tea and went to the nice university. In the way too cold.

So she could go the make you sore and tired room and then have a tasty lunch. 

They have lots of restaurants at the nice university. So you can get your own tasty donuts. All the time. Ha. That is good. 

When Niamh was all awake she went to her nice university too. To go to her very interesting class. 

Craig did not read for our nice Queen very much today. 

Because the cold caught him. So he just read his other book. 

Now he is a lawyer working for a different nice Queen. In way far away England. A long long time ago. 

When everybody had beautiful horses. And castles with scary ghosts too. Ha. 

Tonight Niamh is at the Centre Building until late. Guarding all the little children. 

She will not have her dinner with us. Oh well. Too bad for her. 

All my green keep your feet dry shoes have holes in them. Oh dear. 

Now they do not keep my feet as dry as can be. That is not all right. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

This afternoon I took Orlaith for a nice walk in the way too cold. We did not go so far. 

It is not so nice to go for long walks in the too cold. 

Even when you have a hide all your head furry coat on. It is known. 

I have my own all the way from way far away Dublin coat. It is not so warm. 

Because it is from not very cold at all Ireland. Oh well. I am still very furry all by myself. Ha. 

We got home before the dark came. 

So we did not just freeze up like the refrigerator ice cubes. Ha. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand and Eighteen

Everybody had a sleep in today. Me too.

Craig had a long sleep in. Ha.

When he was still all fast asleep Zita and I went for a long walk this morning. 

It is not so cold outside today. That is good. 

But I had to wear my green shoes. Because of the nasty salt everywhere. Oh well.

Today is Zita’s do not go to work day. Not yesterday. 

Because she was very busy yesterday with the giant rascal ladies party. 

She did not get home until late last night late. Then she took her beautiful shoes off. Ha.

My friend Niamh was very busy studying her stories. For her all about the Rascals class. Ha. Good for her.

And Craig was reading new stories for our nice Queen. All afternoon. 

We were very busy today. I did not even have one nice nap. I was too busy. Ha. Good for us.

Our cheese party friends talked to Zita this morning. On the telephone. To say hello. That is nice.

Craig did not watch any detectives last night. Because Zita was at the Rascal ladies party.

He read his book instead. And ate popcorn. Ha. 

So I guarded Niamh and all her friends. In the basement. They had popcorn too. Ha. 

I saw a giant Emmet on the old big television. That is silly. He is not so big. Oh well. 

This afternoon we found another lost box in the basement. 

It was all full of way way old from way far away Germany cameras. 

Older than even Craig. And he is old. Ha. 

He did not even remember where they were. Now he knows. Good for us. 

Zita and I went for our before dinnertime walk. Cousin Orlaith came too. Ha. 

It was an altogether walk. In our all full of snow afternoon. 

I only had to wear some of my shoes. I do not why. Nobody told me. Oh well.
