Professor Jill and the little dog came with us. 

I like my friend Jamie more than the little dog. It is known. Oh well.

When we came back to my house Mister Mitch and his father came to look at the empty basement.

Because they are going to make Niamh a brand new very big bedroom. With a nice door. In the basement.

And with lots of lights right in the ceiling too. Ha. That is good.

Niamh and Orlaith had to wake up early to talk to Mister Mitch. Ha.

They went to two brand movies last night. Until past my bedtime. 

Because they like movies.

After Mister Mitch left Zita and Niamh and Orlaith made lots and lots of beautiful eggs. 

Right on the dining room table. And they laughed all the time. Ha. That is good.

It is Easter time tomorrow. When Mister Jesus died and then did not die again. 

I think he had to come back to help his friend the ghost bunny give everybody their chocolates. Ha. That was nice.

After lunchtime Zita and Orlaith went to the used door store. 

To find Niamh a beautiful full of glass door. For her brand new bedroom. 

I stayed here to mind Craig and Niamh. Niamh was writing another new story for her university.

So Zita and I looked out the watching window. And I had a little nap. Ha. 

Because it is a holiday. 

Then I got Craig all wide awake because he had a too long sleep in. Ha. Good for me.

Then we had altogether toasts. Just Craig and Zita and I.

Niamh and Orlaith were still fast asleep. So they could not have tasty toasts with us. 

My friend Niamh did not even get home until nearly morning time. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Zita and I took doctor Susan on our nice long walk this morning.

It was a very long walk because doctor Susan is a very slow walker. Oh well. Too bad for me.

When Niamh and Orlaith were all as awake as could be they went to Mister Starbuck’s too much money for coffee store. 

I do not know why they go to the too much money store. We alway have too much coffees here. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Niamh has to finish her very big about catching fish story today. Oh dear. 

There is no more too much snow in my side yard. Ha. That is good.

Zita found a part for Craig’s very old very loud and very fast car. To make it go even faster. Ha.

And he found pictures of his father and his aeroplane from the very sad war. 

And even party invitations from from our nice Queen. In her own castle. Ha. 

Last night we watched the from way far away Paris detectives. 

Some chips dropped all over the floor. 

I thanked my friend Mister Saint Newton. Ha. Good for us.

Everybody was very busy today. 

Zita was at the rascal ladies office. 

Orlaith was at the buffalos building. 

Niamh was writing a brand new story. At the too much money for coffee store. 

Craig and I had the crunchy square toasts for our breakfast. 

Then we played catch the ball. But only a little.

Because Craig was busy reading for our nice Queen again. 

And looking at Niamh’s story. Now it is all finished. Ha. 

So I had a nice quiet nap. On my very comfy in the kitchen bed.

Tomorrow is a holiday. For everybody.

Because it is nearly time for the invisible bunny to give everybody too much chocolates.

Maybe it is a ghost bunny. Ha, I am not afraid of ghosts. It is known. 

But no chocolates for me. And not my friend Emmet either. Oh dear.

The silly bunny does not know where his very little apartment is. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

A nice lady came to my house this afternoon. 

To take away some too much music machines. Ha. That is good. 

She has a cat. Oh well. Too bad for her. 

We did not watch anything on the television last night.

I had a very quiet day today.

Everybody was very busy. So we got up early. 

Craig did not get up so early today. Only Zita and Orlaith and me. Ha. 

Cousin Orlaith went to the buffalos building today. Very early. With Miss Della. 

Because she got a big black very hard sock for her too fat foot. 

Then at lunch time Zita and Orlaith went to an important meeting.

I did not have to go. I stayed here to mind my friend Craig. 

We played catch the ball. 

But then he had to read more stories. I minded him. On my comfy bed in the kitchen. 

At lunchtime he looked at Niamh’s brand new story. So it will be all as beautiful as can be.

It is all about catching fish. I do not know why. 

Zita looked at it too. Before we had our toasts. 

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

That is where she writes her brand new stories. I do not know why. Oh well.

The present man brought cousin Orlaith brand new go fast running shoes. Ha. 

But she cannot run. She is still just hopping everywhere. Oh well. 

Zita did not go to her office today. It is her do not go to work day. 

She took Niamh’s Mister Clifford to the fix it all up bicycle store. His tires are not very round today. 

Because winter is nearly all over it is time to be all fixed up.

You can not ride Mister Clifford in the too much snow. It is known. 

Maybe we will talk to my friend Emmet tonight. 

Right on top of the dining room table. He is still at his far away university. 

We watched the detectives from Paris last night.

Then Zita went to the rascal ladies office.

And then Craig and I looked out the watching window until cousin Orlaith was wide awake. Ha.

So talked to her nice professor right away. He said it was ok. That is good. 

Cousin Orlaith wrote and wrote stories all about her job at the buffalos building. Oh dear.

Craig and I had the little full of chocolate croissants. For our lunchtime . 

I could only have a tiny tiny bit. With no chocolate at all. 

So I would not get a sick tummy again. Ha. That is good. 

Then we played catch the ball again. Ha. Good for us.

When Craig was all finished reading new stories for our nice Queen he was the long time ago Roman doctor again. 

In way far away England. Looking for a nasty person. 

I stayed in the den to mind him. 

Sometimes when he is reading he does not hear anything at all. So I have to take care of him. 

Or maybe he would get all lost. Even in the house. It is my best job. Ha. 

We watched the detectives from way far away Paris last night. We did not have any chips. Oh well.

Last night Miss Lily and Cara and Lee came to our house after dinnertime. 

To visit Niamh and cousin Orlaith. 

We had to close the door in our den. Because they were very noisy. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand and Seventy One

We watched the Scotsman detective last night. 

The nice detective from the very little island. With the very little roads.

We watched until the end. Ha. 

We did not know who the dangerous people were. Until it was all over. Ha. That is a good program. 

Niamh and cousin Orlaith did not watch it with us.

Because they had a tasty dinner at a noisy restaurant. Ha. And Miss Rima was there too.

We got up early this morning. Even Craig too. Ha.

It is his job for a very long time. Ha. That is good. 

Mister Mitch is going to put another door in my friend Emmet’s bedroom. Ha.

Niamh will have a door too. Not just Emmet.

Craig had used from far away China food for his lunch. I did not have any.

Because I was busy minding cousin Orlaith in the basement. 

Her hoppy foot is still too big and sore. The doctor said so.

So she stayed home today so I could mind her. Ha. Good for me. 

Craig was busy reading new stories for our nice Queen. I did not have to mind him today. 

Because I was busy downstairs.

This afternoon Craig and I played catch the ball. Lots of times.

Sometimes Craig thinks the game is over too soon. And I have to remind him I am not finished.

Ha. Good for me.

When Zita got home we went for our before dinnertime walk. 

Niamh will be home for our dinner tonight. She is not minding the nice little girls tonight. 

So we can have an altogether dinner tonight. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand and Seventy

We only had a little sleep in Sunday today.

Because we had too much work to do. 

Zita and I went for a nice walk. Not so far today because it is not warm even a bit outside. Oh dear. 

When we came home Craig and Zita had the too much coffees. And we watched out the watching window.

And then Zita I put all the old walls and ceilings from our basement into big bags. For a long time. 

For our nice garbage me to take away. 

I sat in the black go fast car so I could watch everything. Ha. Good for me.

Craig looked at Emmet’s brand new big story. He does not have to take a long time anymore.

Because now Emmet can write beautiful stories. Craig only has to look at them. Ha. That is good.

We saw Emmet on the dining room table. Before he had to go to his very little library. At his far away university.

He is very busy. Writing new long stories. And helping the brand new students too. That is nice.

Then Niamh and cousin Orlaith went to the too much money for coffee store. 

To read stories for their nice universities.

Last night Niamh was minding the nice little girls again. Until way past my bedtime. Ha.

So Craig and Zita and Orlaith and I watched the little windy island Scotsman detective. For a long time. 

We had chips. But I could not have any.

Because I had a sick tummy in the morning. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

This afternoon Zita went to the giant store with all the used doors. 

Extra doors from other people’s too much stuff. Ha. 

She wants to find a nice all glass beautiful door. For Niamh’s new downstairs bedroom. Ha. 

Maybe we will watch the little island detective again tonight. Maybe. 

Niamh and cousin Orlaith are going out for there own tasty dinner. 

I have to stay here a guard Craig and Zita. It is my best job. 

Day Two Thousand and Sixty Nine

We were so busy with cousin Orlaith’s writing stories to the government that we were all too tired to make a tasty dinner.

So the very nice man brought lots of tasty food from way way far away China. All by himself. Ha. That is good. 

And he brought lots rolls of eggs too. For my friend Niamh. Ha. They are her favourite. 

Even for breakfast. That is silly. 

Then Cara and Lee came over so everybody could laugh a lot. And play with cards. Ha.

Craig and Zita and I did not watch any detectives last night. 

Because we sat the dining room table for a very long time. Laughing.

After dinner my own collar got caught on a handle. On the peanut butter treats drawer. 

It was very scary. But my friend Zita rescued me. Right away. Ha. That is good.

When I was brand in my house my old collar got caught on the floor. 

Craig rescued me. All by himself. Ha. Good for me. 

Now I get a bit scared when my collar catches me. Oh dear. 

That is not so nice. 

This morning I had a sick tummy. I could not take Craig to his old friends breakfast. 

I had to stay home. And mind Zita.

Craig had to go all by himself. Mister Paul is in way far away England. Oh dear.

I had some of my very tasty for sick tummies food. 

And then I had a little nap. Sick tummies always make you a bit tired. It is known. 

Zita and I went for just a little walk. Just in case my tummy was still sick. But it was not even a bit sick. Ha.

So I had another nice nap.

Maybe we will watch it tonight. We have big bags of brand new chips. I saw them. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand and Sixty Eight

Today is the special just for puppy dogs day. Everywhere. In the world. Ha. 

I did not know that day. Craig told me. Ha. That is a  good day.

I do not get special treats today because I am not a puppy anymore. 

When I came to my house I was just a little puppy. Ha.

And my friend Niamh was very little too. 

And Emmet and I were not so furry. Ha. 

But now I am a very big fierce minding the house dog. Ha. Good for me.

Zita and I had a nice early in the morning walk. Then she went to the food store.

Cousin Orlaith had to talk to everybody in the world. 

All about helping the beautiful horses policemen. 

Craig said governments are very silly. 

Sometimes they do not listen to each other so well. Oh dear that is not good.

He should tell our nice Queen. Ha. And she could just chop off their heads. 

Because nice Queens can do that. It is known. 

We did not play catch the ball lots of times today.

Because a nasty headache caught Craig. When he was all fast asleep. That is not right.

This afternoon a very nice man came to look at our empty basement. I did not bark at him. 

He has a big dog too. That is good.

And his father can be his helper. Ha. That is good. 

Niamh is not working tonight. We can have an altogether dinner tonight. Ha. 

Maybe we will have chips and watch new detectives. Maybe.

I had a very quiet day today. 

Because everybody was busy. 

Except cousin Orlaith. So I minded her and her not so sore today foot. 

Craig and I had the tasty square crunchy toasts for our breakfast. Those are good toasts. 

Zita was at the rascal ladies office and then Craig took Niamh to her before work meeting. 

In the silver little car. 

So I had a long nap. Under the dining room table. 

That is where I mind Orlaith when she is writing on her computer. 

When Craig got home we played catch the ball. 

It is not cold at all today. 

The snow is all melting everywhere. Ha. That is good.

Then Craig had to read some brand new stories so I minded cousin Orlaith again. 

That is not so hard because she is still Miss Hoppy. Ha. Too bad for her. 

It was a very quiet day for me. 

Craig said I had enough adventures this week. Ha. Oh well. 

Yesterday a man brought us a giant flower pot. All full of beautiful flowers. And little trees too.

Day Two Thousand and Sixty Five

I had a very exciting night. Ha. Good for me. 

I am a hero dog. Zita told me. Ha. That is true.

Because last night Craig and I went outside to play our before dinnertime catch the ball game I had a giant adventure.

Because there was a nasty rat. Hiding from me. Right in my own side yard. 

Behind some of the take away from the all empty basement bags. 

Maybe it was going to steal our dinner. Or maybe even bite my family. 

I smelt it right away. But it jumped right at me. Ha. 

That was silly. So I just bit it all dead as can be. Ha. Good for me.

Doctor Susan’s Mister Don came and took it away. He said it was a very big rat. 

He had a rat in his back yard too. He squished it dead. 

But they do not have a fierce guarder dog. Just Miss Lily. 

She does not chase nasty rats away so well. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Everybody was too excited to make our tasty dinner so Mister Tony’s friend brought us pizza instead. 

I got lots of pizza bits. They were special treats. Just for me. Ha. 

Because I am the very best minder dog. And very fierce too. Ha. Good for me.

Miss Devon came to my house today. To make it all spic and span again. With the noisy machines.

Cousin Orlaith cannot go to her own office today. 

Because of the nice doctor’s letter. 

So I minded her downstairs. When the noisy machines were cleaning everything. Ha. Good for me.

Miss Paul is going to have his dinner at our house tonight. He has to go back to way far away England.

So he can fix the not very good bathroom at his own daughter’s house. He is a very good fixer. 

The radio man said that today is the winter is over day. Ha. That is not right. It is still way cold outside. 

And we have lots of snow all over my front yard. I can see it from my watching window. He is wrong. It is known. 

My friend Emmet is very busy in his far away university. 

Because it is time to write his remember everything about talking like a way old Irish person exam. 

In his own little apartment. All by himself. Oh dear. 

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

Because he is a Roman doctor. In way far away England. A long long time ago. Looking for a nasty person. Ha. 

He does not have a nice dog. Only helpers he cannot understand. Oh well. Too bad for him.

Day Two Thousand and Sixty Four

I had a busy night.

Because Zita took cousin Orlaith to the nasty food hospital. In the old go fast chair. 

To see the nice doctors. 

Because maybe they had to chop her foot all off. Craig told me. Oh dear. 

That was not so nice. 

I had one of my own toes chopped off. But I am all better now. That is good. 

But cousin Orlaith’s foot was only all squished up. It was not just broken off. Ha. That is good. 

Now she has to use crutches. Or hop. Ha.

Craig said we are Miss Poppy and Miss Hoppy. Ha. That is silly.

Now I have to mind her. 

She cannot go to the giant buffalos building today.

The nice doctor said so. Oh dear. He wrote a letter. 

She will get in trouble if she does not wait until her foot is not squished up. Oh dear. 

Zita and I went for a nice walk today. In the still too cold. Then she went to the rascal ladies office.

So Craig and I had the very little tasty croissants for our breakfast together. 

We had four because they were very small. 

Niamh took her brand new story all about the dangerous people to her nice university this morning. 

And Orlaith came upstairs and lay on the comfy sofa in the living room. 

Because her foot is way too big and sore.

So she watched television on her little computer. I minded her. All by myself. Ha. 

Then she went downstairs to have a nap. So I had a nice nap too.

Zita and her friend Miss Wendy are going out for a nice dinner tonight. At a restaurant. Ha. 

Miss Wendy went to Mister Saint Paul’s university with Zita. 

And it is the night Niamh minds the nice little girls.

So I will only have to guard Craig and cousin Orlaith for our dinner tonight.  

That is not so hard. They are not so fast as I am. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand and Sixty Three

We did not have a sleep in Sunday today.

Because we had a breakfast party. Ha. I was invited too.

We made the house all neat and tidy as can be. Then Zita and I went for a little walk. 

Because is is way too cold outside today. 

Then Miss Deirdre and Mister Gene and Mister William and Miss Zoe and their own brand new little baby Miss Leena came to my house for breakfast. Ha. That is good. 

I was very good.

Big nice dogs have to be very careful with little babies. 

Because there are very little. 

I was very gentle. I did not even bark at all. Ha. I got lots of tasty bean treats.

Because I was the best no barking dog. Ha. Good for me. 

We had lots and lots of brand new Mister Kettleman’s bagels. And lots of different tasty cheeses.

But nothing tasty fell on the floor. Not even a bit of the smelly fish. Oh well. 

So I had a nice nap in the kitchen. 

Miss Deirdre is still making the very scary Vikings program. 

But she did not bring any of them to my house. 

That is good. 

And Mister Gene’s daughter is in way far away Scotland. 

Making another famous program about a long time ago Scotsmen. 

With castles and swords. And lots of very big horses. Ha.

Maybe even ghosts. Maybe.

Then they all had to go back to their own houses in Toronto. On the not too dangerous train. Oh well.

Maybe they will come back for another nice tasty visit. And I can mind baby Leena. All by myself.

Babies always need someone brave to mind them. 

Because they are so just little. Ha. I am the best minder dog. Ever. Zita told me so. 

After all our visitors were gone Zita cleaned up the basement more. Even the ceiling. I could not help.

Because maybe the ceiling would fall right on top of me. Oh dear. I would not like that.

When Zita was all finished I helped her give all our neighbours our nice paper. I am a big help. 

We go right on everybody’s front steps. And put the nice paper there. Ha. Good for us. 

Niamh and Orlaith came home on another not so dangerous train. 

Not our visitors train. Another train. 

But Cousin Orlaith slipped on the slippy outside ice and squished her foot. Oh dear. Too bad for her. 

She had to use a go fast chair at the nice hotel. Oh dear.

Now she has to hop hop hop. 

Like our live outside bunny rabbit. That is silly. Oh well. Too bad for her. 

Day Two Thousand and Sixty Two

There is nobody here but us today. 

Niamh and Orlaith are in not too far away Kingston and Emmet is in his very little apartment in far away Antigonish. They are not here at all. 

So it is very quiet here. Oh dear. I do not like that so much. Too bad for me.

It is the everybody pretends to be from Ireland day today. Oh well.

I am not from way far away Ireland. Craig is just from here too. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

Only Zita and Emmet and Niamh and Cousin Orlaith have the little I am from Ireland books. Ha.

But they do not get a prize. Oh well.

After lunchtime Craig and Zita have to go to the other not very far very big church. 

To say goodbye to our friend Deirdre’s mother.

She went to heaven to be with Professor Bowen. 

They wrote famous books all about brave soldiers from way far away Ireland. 

Maybe they will write brand new books now. 

Craig told me that she made the tastiest very tall chocolate cakes in the world. Ha. 

Now maybe she can have a special just tasty chocolate cakes store in heaven. That would be good. 

Uncle Bill would have all his lunchtimes there. It is known. 

At the church there was even a man with a very fat tall hat. 

He was important. You have to have hats in church if you are important. It is known.

Professor Alec and Miss Francis were there too. Ha. That was nice. 

When Craig and Zita got home we went for our before dinnertime walk. 

It is very windy cold outside today.

But we went anyway. Good for us. 

Day Two Thousand and Sixty One

I had a little sleep in with Craig. 

When Zita and I came home from our nice early in the morning walk.

Everybody else went to own jobs. Ha.

Craig and I had another cross bun for our breakfast. 

Then we played catch the ball. It is not so cold today. 

Then I had a nice nap. 

Tonight Niamh and Orlaith are going to not so far away Kingston. Right after their own work. 

They are going to stay at Craig and Zita’s lovely hotel. Beside the boats. For two nights. Ha.

They are going on the not so dangerous anymore train. Oh dear. 

I do not like trains so much. 

My friend Emmet’s trains are always too cold. And have icy windows. 

You have to wear you warm hat all the time on that train. Oh dear. 

Miss Rima and Miss Taryn are going too. 

Cousin Orlaith even came home in pay for car.  

And have a squeaky clean bath. So she would be all ready to go.

And not be late for the train. 

Niamh had a squeaky clean shower too. 

They are even bringing tasty treats to eat. 

Because nice dinners at hotels cost too much money. 

I will only have to guard Craig and Zita tonight. Ha. 

Maybe we will watch the detectives from way far away Paris tonight. They have very old houses there. 

With lots and lots of stairs. Oh dear. They are not for Craig houses. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand and Sixty

It was another get up very early in the morning day today.

Because Cousin Orlaith has to go to work very early. 

Miss Della drives her in a car to the giant buffalos Building.

Orlaith works for Miss Della. She is a professor too. But not at the nice university. 

Then Zita and I went for our nice walk. 

When we were all home Niamh was all awake too. She had to go to her early in the morning job. 

She has to mind all the little children at the Centre Building. 

There is no school for all the little children this week. So my friend Niamh has to mind them. 

And they give her real money. So she cannot loose anybody. Oh well. 

When Zita went to the rascal ladies office Craig and I did not have toasts.

We had cross buns. All toasted. Ha. I do not know why the buns are cross. Oh well. They are tasty buns.

Then Craig read Niamh’s dangerous people story again. I had a nice nap.

Then Craig and I played catch the ball. Lots of times. Ha. It is not too cold outside today.

We saw my friend Emmet last night. He was not too tired.

Because he does not have his remember everything exam until next week. They moved the days. 

So everybody could have a nice sleep in. Ha. That is good. 

So we talked to him for a long time. I saw him. 

He was eating tasty own made pasta. Just like here at our house. When we are altogether. 

Everybody is very tired because on the get up very early jobs. 

So I had a nice nap after I played catch the ball. Good for me. 

I had my tasty dinner early today. 

Because my tummy was so noisy that Craig could not even read his new stories. For our nice Queen. Oh dear. 

I got tasty treats from the can dinner. Ha. Good for me.

After her work Niamh went to her nice university. To get a book for Emmet.

Because his far away university does not have it. Oh dear. That is not right. 

We are going to make pictures and send them to his fast computer. 

In his very little apartment in far away Antigonish. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Nine

We had even more way too much snow last night. Oh dear.

All the too much snow Mister Aidan took away came back. That is not right. It is silly weather. 

Then we had to go for our nice walk. Even in the too much snow. Oh dear.

Niamh and Cousin Orlaith went to work today. Zita did not.

Because it is Zita’s do not go to work day. Ha.

I had to go to the make me beautiful store this morning. Before my toasts. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

I did not want to go to the make me beautiful store. 

Because maybe I would have to stay there all night. Like my own hospital. When I was sick. 

I would not like that. So I was a bit scared. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

But Zita came for me right away. Now I am all beautiful again. Ha. That is good. 

When I came back to my house Mister Paul was there. Making lots of very loud noises.

Because Zita and Mister Paul were taking the not in the right place walls all away. 

But I could not help. 

Because I might get squished by the too big pieces of wood. Or get stuck by sharp things. Oh dear.

So I had to stay in the den. And just mind Craig. That was not so much fun. Too bad for me. 

Last night a nice man came to my house and took all the giant pieces of wood away. To his house. 

To make more beautiful furniture. 

And he took all the other too much wood too. Ha. Good for us.

He said maybe he could make the brand new walls. For my friend Niamh’s bedroom. 

When Zita and Mister Paul finished taking the too many walls away we had a big tasty bagels and lots of cheese lunch. 

Because everybody was very hungry. I was not too hungry.

Because going to the make me beautiful store always makes me too tired. 

So I had a nice nap. Under the dining room table. 

Maybe we will see my friend Emmet on the dining room table tonight. If he is not way too tired.

Because of his in very old Irish remembering everything exam. 

I did not do so well when I took my exams. When I was way little. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Eight

I had a very nice quiet day today.

Everybody is at work. Even Craig.

So I had a very nice lots of naps day.

After Zita and Cousin Orlaith went to work and Niamh went to her nice university Craig and I had toasts.

We had special toasts today. Very crunchy and chewy square toasts. We had two. 

Because there was more too much snow last night. Oh dear. 

So we had two toasts and looked out the watching window. At all the too much snow. Ha.

Then Craig went in the den to read new stories for our nice Queen. 

So I had a big nap on my comfy in the kitchen bed. Ha. Good for me.

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

Then I went back to my kitchen bed.

Then I minded Craig in the den. When he was all busy reading the new stories. Ha.

I had a nice quiet day.

Craig read Niamh’s dangerous people long story. So it will be all beautiful. Ha. That is good.

When Cousin Orlaith came home I minded her. Downstairs in her little bedroom. On the comfy bed. Ha. Good for me. 

Then I took her for our before dinnertime nice walk. Good for me. 

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

Maybe we will watch new not so scary from way far away detectives tonight. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Seven

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

Cousin Orlaith went to work very early this morning. 

So Zita drove her to the beautiful horses policemen’s giant building. For her job. 

And Niamh visited our nice dentist way early too. Too bad for her.

Then she was late for her nice university.

Because she had a nasty nose bleed. Oh dear. 

We had tasty lunch bagels together. When she was all better.

And Zita came home for her lunchtime. To talk to a man. I do not know why. 

Craig was busy just reading lots and lots for our nice Queen. 

He is not so hard to mind. He always stays in the den. 

I just have a nap. Right beside him. Ha. Good for me. 

We found giant pieces of way old wood. In the basement. They were the all empty shelves.

They are longer than the den. Ha. Zita’s friend wants them.

Because he makes beautiful furniture. And he likes way old wood. That is nice. 

He is going to take it all away to his house. To make something beautiful. Ha. That is good. 

And another man is going to get two too many music machines. 

Because we have too many. Ha. 

These do not work so well. But he likes fixing music machines. 

I am going to go to the make me beautiful store. I am a bit way too furry. Ha. That is good. 

We went to bed early last night because everybody had to get up very early this morning. 

When Cousin Orlaith got home I took her for our nice before dinnertime walk. 

She did not get a beautiful horse again today. Oh well. 

Maybe tomorrow. Maybe.

Tonight is the night Niamh minds the two nice little girls. 

So she will not have her nice dinner with us tonight. Oh well. Too bad for her. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Six

The time changed again. Last night . When I was all fast asleep. 

I do not know why. And it is not the same time as way far away Ireland. 

It is now just a different time. That is silly.

So we had a nice sleep in. Ha.

When we were all wide awake we had tasty bagels. 

With my friend Emmet too. Right on the dining room table. 

From far away Antigonish. He was very tired.

Because he was all finished with his remember everything Welsh exam. 

Now he has another remember everything exam. 

All about talking like a way way old Irish person. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

After lunchtime he is going to go for a walk and get some icy tea. And maybe a tasty hamburger. Ha.

After lunchtime Cousin Orlaith went downtown to get some just for work clothes. Ha.

And Zita got lots of Craig’s very big tools. So she could throw out the very old shelves in the basement.

Because now they are all empty. Ha good for us. 

But I could not be a big help. Because of all the sharp tools. I did not like that so much.

Doctor Susan came over to be a help. Instead of me. That is not so nice. 

Niamh is writing a big new story all about dangerous people. In way far away. 

They are not the same dangerous people Emmet used to write about. Different dangerous people. Oh dear. 

Too many dangerous people. That is not so good. 

We should get the giant Punic elephants to squish them. That is good. 

Emmet does not write brand new stories about the Punics anymore. Of well. Too bad for them. 

Craig just reading his new interesting book. He did not need me to mind him today. 

I played with my giant red ball. In my side yard. It is not cold outside today. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Five

Today is the playing bagpipes day. But we did not play them.

Because we do not have any way too loud noisy bagpipes in our house. That is good.

Some dogs like bagpipes. I do not know why. 

Today is Saturday old friends breakfast day. 

Craig and Mister Paul went to breakfast all by themselves. 

I could not go with them. I stayed here. To help Zita throw out even more too much stuff.

We even found two go fast chairs. Old ones. So we will give one away. Ha. 

And lots and lots and lots of giant pictures. And an old old beautiful clock. Another one. Ha. Good for us. 

Nobody remembered it. Ha. That is silly. 

And even the go fast tires for the silver little car. Ha. 

We have to make the basement ad empty as can be. 

So we can have a brand wall. For Niamh’s new bedroom. 

After lunchtime I could not go downstairs to help. 

Because Zita said I would get all squished together. Oh dear. 

I did not like staying upstairs so much. I told everybody. 

Then Zita and Orlaith took all our way too much stuff to the take it away store.

Craig and I has a tasty croissant for our lunch. Ha. But we had only one today. Too bad for me. 

Mister Paul is going to have his tasty dinner with us tonight. At our house. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Four

I had a very busy day. 

Cousin Orlaith went to her brand new nearly a job. Early in the morning. 

Maybe so she could see the buffalos. Maybe. 

Then Zita and I went for a very long walk. With Professor Jill and the very little dog. 

It is a very jump all around little dog. Not nice and quiet dog. Like my friend Jamie. Too bad for me. 

When we got back to our house I was all stuck with snow. 

All over my legs. Oh dear. I did not like that at all. 

Zita helped me take it all away. That was good.

Then Niamh went to the too much money for coffee store. To talk with her friends from her nice university.

All about their new big long story. 

Then Craig went to lunch with his old friends. 

His friends from when worked every day for our nice Queen. 

When he was away Zita and I put all the extra things from our basement out in front of our house. 

And people took it. For their own houses. I do not know why. People are very silly. Oh well.

Then I had a nice nap. Being a big help makes you tired. It is known.

After our lunchtime Zita went to the way too much of everything store. To get some too much tasty food. 

I had to stay here and mind Craig. All by myself. 

We was just reading some new stories for our nice Queen. 

So I minded him from my comfy duvet on the big bed. With my own pillows. Ha. Good for me. 

They did not give Cousin Orlaith a beautiful horse today. 

Just an all full of dust office. Oh well. Too bad for her. 

We watched the not so very nice lady detective last night. Oh well. 

We had chips. 

Then we went to bed early.

Because Zita still has the wrong way far away Ireland time in her head. 

I had a very nice sleep. On the big comfy bed. With Craig and Zita. That is right. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Three

We had even more snow last night. Again. It was not so much this time. 

After Zita went to the rascal ladies office Orlaith and I went for a long nice walk. 

Because it is not so cold. But I had to wear my green shoes. And I was a soggy dog when we got home. Oh well. 

Then I minded Orlaith. On the comfy living room rug. 

She had to talk to her friends in way far away Galway. On her too big telephone. It is a silly telephone. Oh well. 

This morning Craig took my friend Niamh to her important meeting.

Then he took her to the Centre Building for her after lunchtime job.

When he was all home at our house we had peanut butter toasts sandwiches for our lunchtime treats. 

We had the very crunchy special toasts bread. Ha. That is good toast. 

My friend Emmet is still writing his remember everything exam. All in Welsh. Oh dear 

It is a write it in your own comfy little apartment exam. So you can have treats too. And your Irish tea too. Ha.

Craig and Zita bought him his own pizza for dinner. Right from here.  

Because maybe Emmet would forget to have a tasty dinner. 

Because sometimes he forgets to eat anything when he is writing his remember everything exams. Ha. That is silly.

I do not know why. I do not forget my tasty dinner. Sometimes Craig forgets my dinnertime. 

Because he is old. Ha. Too bad for me.

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. That is good. 

Mister Paul came to visit us this afternoon. But he and Craig did not fix anything. They just talked. 

So I had a nice nap. In the kitchen. On my comfy bed. 

When Zita came home I took her and Cousin Orlaith to the tasty food store. On the busy street. All by myself. 

We did not get lost. Just a bit too soggy. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty Two

When I was all awake this morning there was snow on all our street. 

And in my side yard too. Oh dear.

Zita and went for a nice walk anyway. 

We did not get lost. 

Because I remember all our streets. Even under too much snow. Ha. Good for me. 

Maybe the too much snow came on the aeroplane with Zita. From way far away Dublin. Maybe.

Then I helped Zita and Orlaith clean the lots of snow off the black go fast car. I was a big help.

After Zita went to the rascal ladies office Craig and I had tasty toasts. They were not too toasty today.

Then Niamh was awake and went to the little make you beautiful store. 

And Cousin Orlaith went for a nice walk. Even in the snow. Oh well.

So then only Craig was here. Reading. Maybe for our nice Queen. I do not know. 

Because I had a nice big nap. Ha. 

On my very comfy in the kitchen bed. 

My friend Emmet is very busy today. He has another exam. 

It is a remember everything about talking way way Welsh exam.

Maybe we will see him on the dining room table at dinner time. If he is not too exam tired. 

We watched the young old detective last night. We had chips. Ha. 

It was a nice quiet looking out the watching window day. That is good. 

Niamh and Orlaith made own made pizza for our dinner tonight. All by themselves. I helped too. 

After dinner I took Orlaith for a nice walk. In the dark. 

We were very brave. Ha. Good for us. 

Then Craig and Zita and I watched a new lady detective. On the television. In the den. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty One

I had a nice nearly quiet day.

This morning I took my friend Zita for a nice walk. I did let her get all lost forever. 

Because maybe she forgot about all our streets. 

Because she was in way far away Dublin for a long time. 

When we were all back home she drove Niamh to her early in the morning class at her nice university.

So Craig and I had two fat toasts. With the special crunchy toasts bread. Ha. Good for us.

We had the tasty all the way from France jam. 

Zita brought home her father’s own made berry jams. From his own backyard berry trees. Ha.

Zita’s mother and father have a full of lots of berries trees backyard. And even tasty vegetables too.

But the own made special jam is an only for Zita jam. A not for us jam. That is the rule. 

I do not know why. Nobody told me. Oh well. 

Then Miss Devon came to make the house spic and span. With the noisy machines. 

I went downstairs to mind Orlaith. It is not so noisy downstairs. Ha. Good for me.

We watched the old detective when he was just young last night. 

But Zita nearly fell fast asleep. In the middle.

Because the time is all different in way far away Dublin. That is silly. 

Maybe that is why they had all the way too much snow. 

Maybe the weather was all too confused too. Maybe 

It is not so warm today. We only played catch the ball a little bit. Oh well. 

It is a bit too sore shoulder day today for my friend Craig. 

Sometimes I have a bit too sore leg day. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

He should have a nice nap. On the comfy big bed. 

I could just mind him there. Ha. That is my favourite job. 

Last night Zita and I put as clean as can be sheets on the big comfy bed 

So Craig had a squeaky clean bath last night. So he would not be so smelly. Ha. 

I minded him when he was all comfy in bed. Ha. Good for me. 

We watched the hockey game. Oh well. Craig’s team even won again. Ha. We were surprised too. 

After lunchtime my friend Orlaith went to the Centre Building to help Niamh. 

I did not go. I stayed here to mind Craig. I got a tasty lettuce treat.

Because I am a very nice minder. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand and Fifty

My friend Zita came home last night. Ha.

Her nice aeroplane found us. All by itself. It did not get lost. Ha. That is.

And Craig and little silver car found her at the aeroport. All by themselves. Ha. That is good.

I was very very happy to see her. And she was very very happy to see me too.

Because we are family. Ha. That is true.

And she brought presents. 

Lots lots of only from way far away in Ireland chocolates.

And special chips. In a giant bag. 

For Niamh and Orlaith. From their Nanny. But none for poor Emmet.

Because he is still in his far away university. Too bad for him.

And Craig got a brand new cosy shirt. That is good. 

And porridge cakes too. Oh well. 

I had a quiet day today.

Because everybody was very busy. Zita went to the rascal ladies office. 

Then Niamh and Orlaith went to the nice university. In Miss Taryn’s nearly a car. 

Craig had a little sleep in. We had the very tasty toasts. 

With the special tasty toasts bread. And the from way far away France delicious jam. Ha. 

That is a good breakfast. 

Then we played catch the ball lots of times. And I got a bean treat too. Ha. 

I had a nice nap and Craig read some brand new stories for our nice Queen.

It was a nice quiet day. 

Because Zita is all back home so I am not in charge anymore. Ha. That is good.

Niamh’s is not minding the nice little girls tonight. 

So we will have an altogether dinner tonight.

Day Two Thousand and Forty Nine

It is sleep in Sunday. 

But Craig and I did not have even a little nice sleep in. We were too busy. 

Because I am in charge and I needed Craig to help me. We watched out the watching window.

At the move the snow away machines.

Because when we were fast asleep there was snow. But not even so much. Ha. That is good. 

So we were all wide awake early. And we had early fat toasts too. Ha.

When I was all awake my friend Zita went to the aeroport in way far away Dublin. 

Her brother had a very tall nearly a truck. 

And he drove through all the way too much snow. Ha. All the way to the aeroport. That is good. 

Then she found an aeroplane that knew how to get all the way back to our city. Ha. That is good. 

But they had to wait for a little while.

Because off the too much ice on the aeroplane. Oh dear. 

Maybe it was like Emmet’s way too cold inside train at Merry Christmas time. Oh dear. That is not so nice.

Last night Craig and Niamh and Cousin Orlaith went to the tasty food restaurant.

It was a treat.

Because they were a big help when I had to go to the sick dog hospital. That is true. 

And Lily and Lee and Cara went too. Ha. Everybody was there.

But not me. I was guarding the house. All by myself. Ha. Good for me. 

Today we have to make the house all neat and tidy. Because today is the very soon day.

So my friend Zita will not know we are all too messy. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

And Niamh even put lots of clothes into the very loud machine. Ha.

And Orlaith had to get the make the floors clean machine to make the comfy rug in the living room all clean.

Because maybe some of my extra fur made it all too messy. Maybe. Oh well. 

My friend Zita will not be home until very late.

Because it took a long time for the aeroplane to leave way far away Dublin.

Because it was way too icy. All over. 

I will wait up for her. Ha. It is my own best job.

I took Orlaith for a nice walk before our dinner time. I was not so tired today. That is good. 

Tonight is the special give prizes to all the very big movies night. It is Niamh’s favourite night.

She and Orlaith are going to watch the special program on the television. 

At Cara and Lee’s house. They will eat tasty treats too. 

Until late. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand and Forty Eight

I am all back home again. From my hospital. That is good.

When I got home I had a nice sleep. Right away. On the comfy rug. In the living room. I was very tired. 

Cousin Orlaith helped me. Then Niamh was home and she helped me too. That is nice. 

Then everybody was tired so I went to fast asleep with Craig in the big bedroom.

Craig did not go to his old friends breakfast restaurant today.

He stayed here. With me. To help me watch everything out my watching window. Ha. That is good.

And we played catch the ball. 

We had a little bit of snow last night. Not too much.

All the too much snow is still in way far away Dublin. 

So my friend Zita can not get to the aeroport. To find her going home to our house aeroplane. Oh dear. 

Because they can not even open the gate at her parent’s house. 

So she is still in way far away. Oh dear. That is not right.

After Craig and I had our breakfast bagels I went downstairs to mind Niamh and Cousin Orlaith.

Yesterday they did not have me to guard them. Oh dear. That is not right. 

But nothing happened. That is good. 

Dogs are very good guarders. It is our best job.

Our friend Mister George sent me a picture of his fierce dog guarding his living room. All by himself.

In the very very old all made of big stones house.

Ha. Good for him. He has a comfy rug too. That is good. 

We had a very quiet day here at my house. That is good.

Because I am still a bit too tired. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Before our dinnertime Niamh and Orlaith made fat cakes. With bananas. Ha. I helped them. 

The they had to go to make it beautiful store for Orlaith’s computer. Because it was a bit too dirty.

I stayed here to mind Craig. He was just reading his other book. 

Craig’s hockey team won last night. They do not win so much this time. Oh well. 

My friend Emmet is very busy. He is learning how to speak to very old all dead people from Wales. 

Oh dear. I do not think Emmet knows any all dead people from Wales. Maybe. Oh well. 

Tonight Craig and Niamh and Cousin Orlaith went to the little tasty from way far away China restaurant.

Up on our busy street.

It is a tasty treat night.

Because Niamh and Orlaith were way big helps. When I had to go to my hospital. They minded me. 

Because they are my family too. Ha. Good for us.

Day Two Thousand and Forty Seven

Oh dear. Oh dear.

I was way too hot after dinnertime. So I had to go to my just for sick dogs hospital. 

 

Craig and Niamh and Orlaith took me. In the black go fast black. Oh dear.

And I had to wait and wait. But Craig and Niamh and Orlaith minded me. That was nice.

Sometimes I need to be minded too. Oh dear. 

Sometimes everybody needs a minder. Even when they are not even sick. 

 

Then the nice lady doctor looked at me. Because I was still too hot.

Then she said I had to stay there. At the for sick dogs hospital. All by myself. 

But Craig and Niamh and Orlaith could not stay with me. 

Because of the rules. Oh dear.

Like the rules that said I could not go to visit my friend Emmet. When he was in the nasty food hospital. 

Even when I wanted to. Oh dear.

They are not very nice rules at all. It is known. 

I was very very sad. I told everybody that I was sad.

Craig and Niamh and Orlaith were way sad too. Oh dear. 

Craig told my own friends Zita and Emmet. In their far away places. They were very sad too. 

Oh dear. I only wanted to be in my own house. Not my just for sick dogs hospital. 

It did not even have my own comfy duvet. Or my own family for me to take good care of. Oh dear. 

That is not right. 

And they stuck a needle in my leg. 

But I was very brave. Just like my friend Emmet when he was in the nasty food hospital. 

But I did not like it. At all. Too bad for me. 

I had to stay at my hospital all night. And even nearly all day today. Oh dear.

I thought maybe everybody forgot I was not at my own house. Oh dear. 

But Craig and Cousin Orlaith came to my hospital. 

Before dinnertime and brought me back to my house. 

And my own comfy duvet. Ha. 

And my own cosy bed. 

And the big bed in the big bedroom. 

So they did not forget me.  Ha.  Good for us. 

But I was very tired when I got home to my own house. 

 

So I had a nice nap on the comfy rug. In our living room. 

Then my friend Niamh came home from the Centre Building. Ha. 

So I could mind everybody again. That is good. 

Maybe we will go to bed early tonight.

Because everybody is very tired. Me too.
