Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Nine

Last night my friend Niamh had a sore tongue. Oh dear.

Doctor Susan came over to look at her tongue. Oh dear. 

Maybe because she ate way too many tasty peaches. But she did not get in trouble. I do not know why.

I get in trouble when I eat the fall down berries and have a sick tummy. Oh dear too bad for me.

But today she is all right again. That is good. 

We had the very tasty food from way far away India last night. 

Because everybody was too busy with my friend Niamh to cook our own tasty dinner. 

So we had the very tasty chicken and the floppy delicious bread. 

I got some bread too. Ha. It is very tasty bread. 

Zita and I had a nice good morning everybody walk. 

It is a beautiful day outside today. Just full of blue sky. Ha. That is good.

Craig did not have even a little sleep in today. 

He was all up and awake before Zita and her go fast bicycle went to the rascal ladies office. 

So we had our tasty toasts early this morning. Ha. Good for us.

Then I had a very comfy nap. In the living room. Right beside Craig. Ha. Good for me. 

We had a very very fat peanut butter sandwich with the not so tasty jam. Oh well.

Craig is going to get us some of the very tasty from way far away France jam. Ha. That is good jam.

Then we played catch the ball. 

Then Craig had to write some new stories so I had a nice afternoon nap. 

It is a too much very quiet house now. 

Because there is only Craig and me here. And we are not so noisy. 

Emmet and Niamh and cousin Orlaith made lots of noise. With their music. Ha. 

But Miss Rima is not so very loud.

I went downstairs before lunchtime but my friend Emmet was not there at all. I looked all over. Oh dear.

Because is still at his far away Mister Saint Francis’s university. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Niamh and Miss Rima are going the last day at the Center Building job party tonight. 

It is just for people who worked at the Centre Building.

So I could not go. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

So we will have another not altogether dinner tonight. Again. Oh well. 

There is another football game up on the busy street tonight. 

So all the get lost cars will be here before our nice walk. 

And the take your car away to jail trucks too. Oh dear.

We will go on different streets for our before dinnertime walk today. 

Because of the do not pay attention going to be lost cars. 

Sometimes they squish people. Even nice dogs too sometimes. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

We will watch the from far away detectives tonight.

Because we have chips. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Eight

I had a very quiet day today.

Because only Craig and I are here. Everybody has gone to their work. 

Except for Emmet and cousin Orlaith who are in too far away. Oh dear.

I am still a sad dog today. There is not even one person downstairs for me to mind. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Craig had a very little sleep in. Then we had our toasts. We did not have tasty jam today. Too bad for us.

Then we looked out the watching window for a while. At the very beautiful day outside today. 

Then I had a nap so Craig looked for interesting stories for our nice Queen. Ha. That is good.

Craig said that my friend Emmet is still on the way too slow stop everywhere train. Oh dear. 

Maybe he ate all his tasty bagels. Oh dear. Now he will be hungry. That is not a so good train. 

Craig says maybe he should take the too much money train. 

That train has a tasty food restaurant. On the train. 

And a secret bed in your own little room. Ha. That is a good train. 

Emmet changed his comfy bedroom all around. 

So everybody can play the dragons game even when Emmet is in his little far away apartment. Ha. That is nice.

And everybody here will see him on the old very big television. 

And he will see them on his very fast computers in far away. Ha. 

And even cousin Orlaith will see everybody even when she is is way far away Galway. That is good. 

We had a sausage sandwich for our lunchtime. Ha.

Then we played catch the ball. We played lots of times. 

Because it is a beautiful day outside. Then some men started using a noisy machine. On my other street.

So I went inside. It is not noisy inside. And I had a nice nap. On my own comfy bed. In the kitchen. 

Emmet sent me a letter. On the computer. Ha. 

His very slow train was so late the big nice bus almost left without him. 

But the taxi man drove very fast. To catch the bus for Emmet. Ha. That is good.

So Emmet gave him lots of extra money. Ha. 

Now he will sleep in his very little apartment tonight. That is good. 

Zita is not going to home until late tonight. 

Because of rascal ladies work. That is not so all right.

We cannot have an altogether dinner tonight. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Seven

Today is Emmet’s go back to his far away university day. Oh dear.

Last night Emmet and Niamh and Miss Rima went out to say goodbye. 

They went to a very tasty dessert restaurant. Up on the busy street.

Niamh will be minding the little children when Emmet has to find the nice train to Montreal. 

So she said goodbye see you soon last night. 

When he is in Montreal he has to find the very very slow train that goes everywhere.

Until it finds the little town where you just have to find a bus. 

Then he goes on a not very smelly bus to Mister Saint Francis’s university.

Because that is where his very little apartment is. 

It takes a very long time to get to his little apartment from his comfy bedroom in our basement. 

Even all night long. And there no comfy beds on the very very slow train. I would not like that. Oh dear. 

Zita and I took Professor Jill and the little dog for our nice walk this morning. Ha. Good for us. 

When we were all at home Zita used the dangerous cut the grass short machine. I cannot help. 

Because it is a dangerous to dogs machine. Or dear.

When Emmet was all fast awake Zita went to Mister Kettleman’s bagel store.

So she could get some toasty warm bagels for my friend Emmet to take with him. 

Because the very slow train does not have any tasty food. Only old all wrapped up sandwiches. 

So now he has full of cheese bagels. Ha. 

And Emmet had a very early tasty dinner. So he would not get hungry on the nice train to Montreal. 

This afternoon there was thunder outside. So I went downstairs to Niamh’s bedroom. 

Because the loud thunder can not find me there. Ha. Good for me. 

Then Zita drove Emmet in the black go fast car to the find your train station. 

So I said goodbye see you soon too. I got a big hug and a see you later kiss. Ha.

But I was still sad. Too bad for me. 

Then he went to the black car and went to far away. I could not go. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Now we will have to talk to my friend Emmet only on Zita’s computer. 

Right on the dining room table. I do not like that so much. 

He does not smell like my friend Emmet when he is only on the computer. 

And he cannot rub my tummy with his foot when he is just on the dining room table. Too bad for me. 

I do not think universities should take people to far away. 

Cousin Orlaith is not here. Now she is in way far away Galway. Beside the dangerous ocean.

And Emmet is in far away Antigonish. Beside the same dangerous ocean. Oh dear. That is not all right.

My own friend Niamh is right here. At our nice university. 

And in her brand new beautiful big bedroom. That is good. 

But our altogether dinners are not so much altogether now. Oh dear. 

Too bad for us. 

I think we will watch some from way far away detectives tonight. 

Maybe we will have chips. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Six

We had a very tasty special dinner last night. 

It was lots of very thin meat all filled up with smelly cheese. Like a sandwich. Ha. 

It is my friend Emmet’s very favourite dinner. 

But it is our going to far away dinner.

Because tomorrow Emmet is going to his far away university. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

We always have going away dinners when some goes to somewhere far away. 

I do not like those dinners so much.

When he is in his little apartment we are going to send him a very big box. 

All full up with his important fat books. 

There are too many for him to carry on the very slow train. 

Miss Devon came to our house today. With a different lady.

Because Miss Devon got a brand new all the time job. 

Zita stayed here this morning to talk to the different lady. 

Now maybe she will be make the house all spic and span. Maybe. 

She is a nice lady. I can tell. 

Because I am the best guarder dog in the world. It is true. Craig told me. Ha. 

I still stayed on the big comfy bed in the bedroom. 

Because of the noisy machines.

Our brand new dishwasher machine is not noisy at all. Ha. That is good. 

My tummy is not upset today. That is good. 

But this morning after our nice walk Zita swept all the berries all away. 

They are very tasty. But then I get a sick tummy. Too bad for me.

The Centre Building is closed. For a little while. Because they have to fix it all up. 

Now Niamh has to work in the other very very big church instead. Oh dear. 

We watced the very scary detective last night. But now it is all over. That is good. 

I saw my friend Lee and Nitka. That is her nearly brand new dog’s brand new name. 

They were going for a nice walk. In the way too hot outside. 

I only played catch the ball a few times today. 

Because of the way too hot day. 

Craig says if I stay out too long I will just be a Poppy puddle. Ha. That is silly. 

But my friend Emmet went for a walk to his old nice university to get a book. In the too hot. 

But it was not there anymore. Oh dear. So he came home. Oh dear. 

I got Emmet a present. So he would not forget me when he is in far away. 

A little book. With pictures. 

All about little Mister Cú Chulainn who thought he was a giant fierce dog. Ha. 

That is a good book. 

Emmet is going to show all his students his brand new book. When he is at his university. Ha. Good for me. 

Maybe Craig will send Emmet nice pictures of me when he is in far away.

So he will remember his friend Miss Poppy Taylor. Oh dear. Oh dear.

After our dinner tonight Emmet and Niamh and Miss Rima are going to a too many chips restaurant. 

So they can drink some beer and talk. Up on the busy street. Ha. 

I will stay here to guard Craig and Zita. It is my job. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Five

It is the everybody go to work day again.

But Zita and I had a very nice long say good morning to everybody walk. 

Professor Jill and the little dog came with us. That is nice.

But Professor Carter is still in the other hospital. So he can be all better again. 

Craig did not have a sleep in today.

Because another man came to our house. 

He brought the brand new not broken at all dishwashing machine. Ha.

Now nobody has to wash all the dirty dishes themselves. 

Because the dishwasher machine does it for them. Ha. That is a good machine.

When the man was gone Craig and I had our toasts. And jam too. Ha.

Niamh is minding lots of little children today. 

But not at the Centre Building. At a big church. 

Not our very big church. Another one. I do not know why. 

But my own friend Emmet is finding the go to away suitcases. In the basement. 

So he can put all his comfy clothes in them. 

So he can go away to far away Antigonish. Oh dear.

On the takes forever very slow train. Oh dear. 

I do not like the go to away suitcases. It is known.

At lunchtime Miss Francis brought Emmet some very old books. All about the long long time ago. 

They were presents from Miss Francis and Professor Alec. 

So Emmet could have even more old books. Ha. 

Emmet loves the old books. All about the way old way far away people. Ha. 

After lunchtime Craig put the dirty dishes in the brand new machine. Ha. That is good. 

This afternoon Craig was finding new interesting stories for our nice Queen. 

He did not have time to be a Viking. Oh well. 

So I had a nice nap. But then I had a sick tummy. Oh dear. 

I get sick tummies because sometimes I eat the berries that fall from the trees. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

My friend Craig wiped my face all clean again. 

And so I had another nice nap. Beside him. In the den. That is nice. 

Naps are nice when you do not feel so very well. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Four

It is sleep in Sunday. But we had only a little sleep in. 

So Zita and I had a nice walk. Before the soggy rain came to our street.

Craig was still in bed because he had to watch the little fast cars. 

When we got home he was all awake and dressed. Ha. And Emmet too. Oh dear. 

Emmet always has sleep in. Even when it is not sleep in Sunday. 

But he had to get all fast awake this morning. 

Because Miss Andrea came to our city today. In her brand new red little car. Ha. 

And she brought giant donuts for us. 

From the special just make you giant tasty donuts store. Ha.

Then she and Emmet went to Mister Kettleman’s bagel store to have their breakfast and talk.

Because we do not see her so much now. 

Because she lives a bit far away and goes to another university. 

It is a learn everything about inside your body university. 

After they were all gone Zita cleaned the big hole where the broken dishwasher lived. 

Because it was too dirty to believe. Oh dear.

I was a very good watcher but I could not be a big help. There was no room for me. Oh well. 

Then Niamh was all fast awake too.

So Zita and Niamh and the black go fast car went to practice driving all around. 

Even in the like Ireland all the time little rain. Oh dear.

They always go to the beautiful giant farm. Where the lots and lots of cows live. 

There are lots of practice driving all around roads there. Right inside our own city. Ha. Good for us. 

I stayed here to mind Craig. 

Then everybody was all back home and we ate all the donuts. And had lots of tea too. 

But I spilled Miss Andrea’s tea. On the floor. By mistake. Oh dear. Oh dear.

But I did not get in trouble.

Because everybody was too busy eating the donuts. Ha. Good for me.

And because today is the day for just dogs. 

All over the world. Ha. Good for us. 

But it is not a secret present day. It is a nice be happy day. Ha.

When Miss Andrea went home Niamh and Lily and Miss Rima went downtown. 

To get Miss Rima’s computer as good as new again.

This afternoon there is another dragons game. With Niamh and Lily and Cara and Lee. Ha.

My friend Emmet makes lots of dragons games for everybody. That is nice. 

I can not play the dragons game. 

Because dragons are too scary. It is known. 

I just play catch the ball with my friend Craig. Ha. Good for us. 

Maybe we will watch new detectives tonight. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Three

Saturday is my favourite day. And today is Saturday. Good for me.

Saturdays are Craig’s old friends breakfast day. Ha.

And that is the day Zita and I take him to the old friends breakfast restaurant. Up on the busy street. 

It is my favourite job. 

We never get all lost. Ha. Good for me. 

When we find the restaurant for him Zita and I finish our good morning everybody walk. Just together. Ha. 

This morning was an all beautiful day. Not even a bit way too hot. 

This morning Emmet went to the make him beautiful store. So Miss Sue can cut his too much hair. 

Before he goes back to his little apartment. In too far away Antigonish. Oh dear. I will not like that so much.

Last night we had a party. I did not know we were having a party.

Because nobody knew. It was a just happed party. 

Our friends Kathy and Richard came to our house for a very tasty dinner. 

Zita cooked everything on our brand new outside stove. Ha. That is good. 

Then we had lots and lots of very tasty cookies. From the delicious cookies store. For our dessert.

Everybody told rascal stories. Because the rascals were on the television today. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Then Niamh and Miss Rima had to go to a very late at nighttime party. 

So Miss Rima could show everybody her brand new shoes. That is silly.

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Kathy and Richard stayed right at the dining room table. 

So they could eat all the cookies. And tell more stories.

I had a nice nap right under the table. Ha. Sometimes things fall right on the floor. Just for me. 

Because of Mister Saint Newton. Ha. He is a good Saint. It is known. 

At lunchtime Craig and I played catch the ball. But not a lot.

Because it was a bit way too hot outside. Because of the lots of sunshine. 

Our own rascal lady was on our street today. Talking to everybody. She did not come to my house. Oh well.

She was sitting on the grass. Right on my pond. Looking at all the flowers in the water. 

She knows Miss Rima. 

Because Miss Rima teaches her little girl. At the Center Building. Ha. 

At lunchtime Zita went to the tasty food store. Now the refrigerator is full up to the top. 

Because everybody is coming to my house tonight. 

Because it is the last Dragons game until Emmet is back in his very little apartment in far away. Ha.

And he has different Dragons game for Lily and Cara and Lee tomorrow. 

Because he makes the games up. All by himself. Ha. 

After lunchtime Niamh went to a rascal ladies meeting. For a different rascal lady who wants to be our rascal. 

We did not watch anything last night. Because we were up past my bedtime at our party. 

So then we all went to bed. 

But not Niamh and Miss Rima. They were still at a party. Too bad for them. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Two

I had a very busy day today.

Zita and I had a nice walk in the beautiful sunshine. 

And when we got home Craig was wide awake. 

Because the brand new make the dishes clean machine was coming to our house today.

But when the nice men came the brand new machine was just broken. Oh dear. That is not right.

So they have to find another brand new one. Oh dear. 

Now everybody will have to wash all the very dirty dishes by themselves again. Oh dear.

And Niamh forgot all her important things. So Emmet had to take them to the Centre Building. 

Before he even had his good morning everybody tea. 

Zita and the black go fast car had to get things from a bit far away this morning.

Then she came back to our house to get her own fast bicycle. To go to the rascal ladies office.

Last night the save us, save us machine was very loud. Lots of times. Oh dear.

Because some of our tasty for dinner beacon was way way too toasty. And it had to go outside. 

There was lots of smoke. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

Craig ate some anyway. Oh well. 

So we did not cook anything on the brand new outside stove. 

We were too busy with the save us machine. Oh well. 

It was a very busy night. So I went to bed early. Ha. Good for me. 

Craig and Zita watched a new from way far away detectives program last night. 

We did not have any chips. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty One

I had a very quiet day.

Except when the big truck came to my house. 

And some men brought our brand new outside stove in to my side yard. I did not know them. 

Maybe I was a too much barking dog. 

Because then Emmet was all awake too. Oh dear.

But he made his big cup of Irish tea. And Craig and I had very crunchy tasty toasts. With brand new jam.

Then Craig had to read some new stories for our nice Queen. So I had a big nap. On my own comfy bed.

It is a beautiful day outside today. 

Zita and I had a nice walk before she took her go fast bicycle to the rascal ladies office.

Niamh and Miss Rima are going to a just for the people who work at the Center Building party tonight.

Because it is nearly the end of the summer working time. 

And then all the universities will want them back. To write lots of new stories. 

And drink lots of coffees and maybe even eat lots of tasty donuts. Ha. That is good.

And my friend Emmet will have to help teach all the new students at his far away university. 

Cousin Orlaith has to write an important remember everything exam tomorrow. 

In way far away Galway. Oh dear.

I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. Ha. Good for me. 

Yesterday we got a letter from the nice people who take care of the dogs who do not have a lovely family. Like mine. 

The lady who bumped into the black go fast car gave them lots of money. 

Because my friend Craig did not get even a bit cross with her. 

Niamh could not even see a bump at all. Oh well. 

So she gave lots of real money so nice dogs can find nice people to be their family. That is good. 

Craig and Zita went for a long walk last night. To our tasty food store. On the busy street. 

Now we have the crunchy for tasty toasts bread. That is good bread.

Then he went for a nice walk in the beautiful sunshine. 

To get his favourite drink. In a glass bottle. Not just a can. Ha. 

There is only a special store with the glass bottles. I do not know why. Oh well. 

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Because of the Center Building party. Oh well.

Maybe we will use the brand new outside stove. Maybe. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty

Craig had a sleep in day today.

I did not. 

Because Zita and I took Professor Jill and the very little dog for our good morning walk. Good for us.

Professor Mister Carter is still in the nasty food hospital.

Because he had to have another operation. 

Because of his sick tummy. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

Today is Zita’s do not go to the rascal ladies office. 

So I kept her company until Craig was all awake. On the comfy living room rug. 

Then Craig and I played catch the ball before he had to go read some more interesting stories for our nice Queen.

He was not a Viking today. Because he was too busy. Oh well. 

After lunchtime Zita went out to buy a brand new outside stove. At our hardware store. Where I always get treats. 

Now we can have all tasty cooked outside food again. Ha. 

My friend Lee has a nearly new dog. From way way up north. Ha. That is good. 

I saw him today. He is a big dog too. 

But the make him beautiful store made his fur very short. Oh dear.

But he will be all very furry when it is way too cold outside. That is good. 

I do not know his name. He has a brand new name now. But I do not think he remembers it. Oh well. 

But I do not know why. Oh well.

Niamh took her go fast bicycle today. 

Because she has a special job taking some little girls on a very long bicycle adventure. All over the city. 

But her own go up and down hills bicycle did not have all full up tires. 

So she had to take her go fast bicycle instead. Oh well.

Zita and I took Professor Jill and the little dog for a before dinnertime walk. 

Before the windy rain came to our street. Ha. Good for us. 

When we got back Craig and Zita went to the lots of food store.

Just a nice lady writer. And some people who read her books. On an island. 

It was not even a bit scary. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Nineteen

After Zita went to the rascal ladies office I had a little sleep in with my friend Craig. Ha.

Then we got up and had our toasts. They were nearly too toasty. Ha. 

Then we went outside to play catch the ball. But there was a man way up in the air. 

In a little box. Fixing wires. Right on my other street. 

We could see him. In the air. That is a silly man. 

I watched him for a long time. From my watching window. Until he went away. Ha. Good for me.

This morning Craig had to wash all the dishes again. 

Because the brand new washing the dishes machine is still not here. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

It takes a long time to wash dirty dishes. That is not so nice. Oh well. 

Emmet went for his after lunchtime walk before the too much rain came. 

When he was all back home he told me the he saw the giant buffalo picture.

It is all finished. And it is as beautiful as can be.

Right on nice Mister Nicastro’s store. Ha. That is a good picture. With a little boy reading a story. 

Maybe the story is all about famous buffalos. Ha. That is good. 

Buffalos do not like the fierce dangerous wolves. 

They just stick them with their own sharp horns. Or squish them. Ha. Good for them. 

Craig is still a Viking. But he cannot find his fast boat. Only his slow one. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

Emmet is writing more all about the way old Irish Gods. 

Because he did not sign the important paper he is writing it just full of the true stories. Ha. That is good.

When you write important stories they should just be all true. 

Or people will not know what stories are true. Ha. That is good. 

Emmet knows which are the true stories. 

Because he reads them every day. So he knows. Ha. Good for us. 

Niamh did not take her go fast bicycle today. I do not know why. Oh well.

Because we are a tasty cheese family. Ha. Good for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighteen

It is everybody go to work day. Ha.

Zita and I drove Niamh to the Centre Building. So she would not be too late. Ha.

I did not even bark one time. Ha. I was just as quiet as could be. Ha. Good for me.

Niamh was too tired to even find her go fast bicycle. Ha. 

Because she had a too busy time at the cottage. 

She even drove a little little car. A car with no outsides. Oh dear.

In fields full of fat cows. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

So she was not even a bit all awake when she went to her summertime work. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Craig had a nice croissant for his breakfast. I did not have any. 

Because I was a bit too fast asleep. Oh dear.

Then a lady came to put the way way old bed in a too small car. Craig had to go outside to help her. 

I did not like that so much. Then my friend Emmet was all awake. 

Maybe because of the too much barking. Maybe. Oh dear. 

So he had his squeaky clean shower even before his breakfast. Oh well.

Then another man came to my house. With big boxes full of delicious food.

Because last night Zita told her computer to bring us all the food. And it did. Ha. That is a good computer.

So we had very tasty peanut butter sandwiches with brand new bread. Brand new bread is our favourite. 

Then we played catch the ball. But not for too long. 

Because it is a hot outside day today. And I do not like to be an all too hot dog. 

So Craig read some nice for our Queen stories and I had a nice quiet nap. Right beside him. Ha. 

Then Emmet went away in a car. To Mister Mike’s and Miss Morgan’s little apartment.

So he could play the dragons game. With his friends.

Before he goes back to his own very little apartment. In far away. Oh dear. 

I do not like it when my own family is not here in our own house. With me to guard them. Oh dear. 

So we will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Too bad for us. 

Zita and I had a nice walk before dinnertime. But not too far. It is still a too hot day. 

And Zita had to take Niamh to a store. 

And Craig and I cooked the full of chicken pie. By ourselves. Ha.

It is just Craig and Zita and me for our own dinnertime tonight. Oh well. 

Last night Craig’s other football team won. He was surprised. 

Mister David and Ryder the dog were way happy too. It is their very favourite game. Ha. Good for us. 

Mister Ryder plays catch the ball even the water. Ha.

Because he has his own lake. Ha. Good for him. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventeen

I had a nice quiet day. 

Because it is sleep in Sunday. 

But Zita and I did not have a sleep in.

Because we took Professor Jill and the little dog on our good morning everybody walk. Good for us.

Then Zita was very busy taking more too many weeds away from our other side yard. 

So I kept Craig company on the big comfy bed.

Last night we went for a special extra after dinner altogether walk. Craig and Zita and me too.

It was a way way long walk. All over everywhere. 

Because we were going to have some too much coffees and maybe some tasty treats too. 

But all the little just for coffees stores were closed. 

And we went all over to find one. Even up on the busy street. Past our two ponds. But they were all closed. That is silly. 

Nobody can buy tasty treats if the store is closed. It is known.

So we went to another store and got some cookies for my friend Emmet and a lemonade too.

They did not have any coffees. Oh well. 

And we saw a giant picture. Two men were painting it. At night. On Mister Nicastro’s store. 

It was a big as can be buffalo. Right on the wall. Ha. That is silly. 

It is a beautiful picture. That is good. 

Then we went home. And Craig had to have a squeaky clean bath. 

Because he was all smelly. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

At lunchtime Zita went to nice Mister Kettleman’s bagel store to get our tasty lunch. For only Craig and Zita and Emmet.

When we went on our before dinnertime walk. Ha. That is my favourite job. 

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Because Niamh is at a cottage. She is not here.

Maybe we will watch a new detective program tonight. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Fifteen

I had a very quiet day today. 

It is a sometimes all rainy outside day. And not any sunshine. Oh dear. 

They are not so nice days days when there is no bright sunshine for us. 

Zita and I had a nice walk and we were not even a bit soggy. Ha. Good for us.

Then everybody went to work. 

Zita had her keep you all dry as a chip jacket on. When she rode her go fast bicycle. 

Because of the maybe it will be an all rainy again day.

At dinnertime Emmet told Mister Kieran he does not think the important from the far away people paper is a very good for Emmet paper. 

So he will not sign it.

Richard told Emmet that it was not such a good piece of paper. Oh dear. 

Richard is Mister Kieran’s own father. Ha. 

That is why Emmet told the far away people he would not sign it. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Craig and Zita and Emmet and Kieran stayed at the table until late. Talking.

Then Niamh came home and everybody had some tasty cheese cakes.

For their talk some more dessert. Ha. 

I minded everyone all by myself. 

So I got all the little bits of used cheese right on top of my own dinner. Ha. Good for me.

We did not watch any detectives last night. 

Because we were in the dining room just talking all the time. That is a good dinner time. 

Craig is still a fierce Viking. It is a very big book. Ha.

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight. But not with Cousin Orlaith. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

And then I minded Craig in the comfy bed until he was all awake. 

We did not even have a long sleep in. Oh well. 

Then he had his too much coffees. But he did not have any tasty good morning treats today. Oh well.

So I had a lovely long sleep on my new comfy bed.

Then we played catch the ball lots of times. Because it is a beautiful day outside today. That is good. 

Before dinnertime Cousin Orlaith was talking to Niamh. For a long time. 

But I could not find her. Anywhere. And I looked all over.

So I told Craig. But he could not find her either. Oh dear. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Because it was only her picture on Niamh’s telephone. She was not here. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

There is a big furry dog who sometimes lives at her new house. In way far away Galway. That is good. 

Maybe he is a good minder dog too. Maybe. I do not know him.

We watched the from far away detectives last night. 

But the nice lady detective got all blown up. By a bomb. 

That is not so nice a program. It is all over now. That is good.

Those are good programs. It is known.

Maybe we are going to have an altogether dinner tonight. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Thirteen

We did not go for our nice good morning to everybody walk this morning.

And the nasty cold has still caught her. Oh dear.

When she was all away there was a way way too loud thunderstorm. Right here at my house. Oh dear. 

So I went downstairs to my friend Emmet’s room. Right on the very big comfy full of pillows bed. 

Thunderstorms can not find you when you are in the basement. It is known. 

I stayed there so I could mind Emmet until Zita came home. Ha. Good for me.

When she came home she was too tired for a nice walk. 

So she had two too many coffees. With Craig. 

I had a nice lie down on the comfy rug nap.

At lunchtime we had our nice walk. 

Because Zita was not so tired anymore and the thunderstorms were gone away.

Yesterday Emmet and his old university friends went to a special place.

Where they have secret rooms and you have to get out. All by yourselves. 

And they do not tell you how. 

And you have to give them money too. That is a silly game.

But there was not even a little mark. Only a very very little mark. But the lady was very upset. 

So Craig said she did not have to give us any real money. 

But to give some money to help the dogs who do not have even a comfy bed. 

She said she would give them even a lot more. That is good.

The one with lots and lots whipped cream and strawberries all over the top. Ha.

It is cousin Orlaith’s favourite tasty dessert. 

It is for her last altogether dinner in our house. Oh dear. Too bad for us. 

So cousin Orlaith had to talk to everybody in way far away Ireland today. 

On the telephone. To tell them that she was going to be there soon. 

So they can buy more tea. Just for her. Ha. 

My friend Niamh had to rest today. On the comfy sofa. In the living room. 

Because her sore ear will be all full of medicine so she will be all better. 

So I minded her all morning long. It is my best job. 

We got cousin Orlaith a very warm big shirt. 

From Niamh’s and Emmet’s nice university. 

It is a present so she will not just forget us. That is a good idea. 

After lunchtime Zita and Niamh and cousin Orlaith and Lee and Cara went to the special very tasty ice cream store. For treats.

From not so far away Montreal. 

Even a very old leather jacket for cousin Orlaith. Ha.

Then everybody was too tired and went to fast asleep right away. Me too.

Everybody had a sleep in today. 

Zita did not go to the rascal ladies office today.

Because she still has a sick tummy. So she stayed in the comfy chairs room with her fast computer. 

And did rascal ladies work after we had our toasty bagels. 

And then after cousin Orlaith had her toasts we went for a little not so very far walk.

So the company will have to change it. Or they cannot read Emmet’s very interesting stories. Ha. Too bad for them.

But he will still read them to me. Because we are friends. Ha. Good for us. 

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Niamh will not be at her nice university for her right and wrong class. 

Because her ear is way too sore. 

And she has to be as still as a stone after Zita puts the medicine in her ear. 

Tomorrow we will have an another altogether dinner. 

Because it will be cousin Orlaith last tasty dinner with us.

Because the next day she has to go to the aeroport.

And find an aeroplane that will fly all the way back to way far away Ireland.

Too bad for us. 

There are fat suitcases in the basement. I do not like suitcases very much. 

Because suitcases always take people to far always. Oh dear. 

I do not like my family to be in far away. Too bad for me.
