Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Four

Zita and I had a very exciting good morning to everybody walk this morning.

We saw my friends the ducks. 

Right in my own pond. Ha. 

And then we went to the other pond so I could look for the noisy fish. 

But I did not see them today. Even when I looked very hard. Oh well.

And when we came home there was my friend the giant bird. Right in my pond. 

Standing on the little watch out everybody island the nice men made. For their little boats.

Then we came home and Craig was all dressed too. 

Craig and I looked out my watching window until Mister Paul came to our house.

Then they went to the new different restaurant. For their old friends breakfast. 

It is a not as early in the morning restaurant. That is good.

Last night Niamh and her friends made lots of cookies. At her friends apartment. 

But she took them all to work for her own lunchtime. Oh well. Too bad for us.

Tonight we are going to have to have Emmet’s favourite dinner. 

Because in just a little while Emmet is going on the aeroplane to his next university. Oh dear.

So we are going to have the tasty meat with cheese right inside dinner. Ha. 

Cheese is my favourite.

Emmet is taking all his clothes he got from Niamh’s beautiful clothes store. That is good.

But soon Emmet’s comfy bedroom will be all empty again. Oh dear.

But he said he will come back to our house for the Merry Christmas time. That is good.

Because Mister Saint Santa would not be able to find him in a different house in way far away Cork.

That would not be all right.

This afternoon Zita went to visit Craig’s mother at her little apartment. That is nice.

Maybe they will go outside today. 

When Zita was back home we went for our before dinner walk right away. 

We went to the busy street so we could visit the special presents store. 

It is a for nice dogs too store. Ha. That is a good store.

But we came home right away.

Because we are having the special dinner tonight and there is lots of work to do. In the kitchen.

So we have to start right away. I am always a big help. Zita told me. 

Sometimes I get treats too. 

Because I am always a big help. Ha.

Then Professor Jill came to visit. To say goodbye to Emmet. Oh dear. 

I do not like to hear the words Good Bye so much. It is known.

So I do not listen to them. Ha. Good for me. 

Then my friend Zita went downtown to get Niamh from her work. 

So we will be altogether for our dinner. Ha.

Altogether dinners are my very favourite dinners. And cheese parties too. Ha. Good for me.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Three

We were up very early this morning. But not Craig.

Just Zita and Niamh and me. So Zita could drive Niamh to open up the beautiful clothes store.

When Zita was all back home we went for our before breakfast walk. 

It was a good day for a nice walk because it was a beautiful sunny morning.

I minded Craig for a little bit. When he was listening to his very interesting book.

Then we got up. So he could have his too much coffee. 

When he had his next too much coffee we had nice fat toasts. And jam too. Ha. 

That is a good breakfast.

I had a very nice quiet day today 

But my friend Emmet is very very busy. 

This morning he walked to the nice university to get some important pieces of paper. 

To take to his next university. I do not know why. Nobody told me.

Then Emmet and Professor Alec and Miss Francis are going to the nice beside the canal restaurant.

For a lovely lunch. Professor Alec used to teach Emmet at his nice university. 

She is from way far away Wales. Maybe she can talk to the fierce dragons. Maybe.

And then he is going out for tasty before dinnertime treats with his Miss Anastasia. 

Up on the busy street. 

She is going to her next university here. It is Emmet’s old other university. 

Everybody wants to have a lovely dinner with my friend Emmet. 

Before he goes to way far away Cork. In way far away Ireland. 

Last night we had brand new corn for our dinner. And a giant salad too. Ha.

I helped Zita make the salad. Salads always have lots of tasty lettuce. 

Lettuce is my favourite. Ha. 

We went to our other pond last night. 

To see my friends the ducks. But they were not there.

Maybe they went out to the little lake for a tasty dinner. Maybe. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

When Niamh came home she went downstairs to her beautiful bedroom to have a nap.

Because of the way too early in the morning get all awake time. Oh well.

We are going to have an altogether dinner tonight. 

When Zita comes back home we went for our before lots of pizza walk.

Because Mister Tony’s friend is going to bring us some delicious pizzas. 

For our own dinner. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Two

It was not a rainy day today. Ha.

So Zita and I went for a very early in the morning walk. 

Then the not so very fast bicycle took her to her downtown office. So I minded Craig.

We had tasty cake for our together breakfast today. We did not have toasts. I do not know why. 

Last night right after our altogether dinner the little go by themselves boats were in the pond.

The little watch out lslands had their lights on. And all the little boats had lights too. Ha.

They were all very beautiful so Craig and Emmet and I watched them out my watching window.

And Zita went to the pond to take pictures too. Ha.

The men who make the little boats were all very happy. Ha. That is a good thing. 

We were all happy too.

Last night I was a very fierce minder dog. 

There was someone on the other side of my house. Near my friend Niamh’s window.

So I ran down to Niamh’s bedroom as fast as could be.

And gave them my very fiercest scary eat you all up bark. Then there was nobody there. Ha.

Niamh told me that I was her hero. Ha. That is my best job. Good for me. 

Then we went all back to sleep. 

Miss Sandy’s little dog found a smelly skunk in their backyard. 

Now everything is a bit smelly. Oh dear.

Niamh went to the beautiful clothes store this morning. 

And Emmet is going to Mister Mike and Miss Morgan’s apartment this afternoon.

So all their friends can play the dragons game together. 

Before Emmet goes to way far away.

We have a looks like the sun flower in our other side yard. But only one.

The nasty squirrels stole the others. Too bad for us.

Maybe we will have corn for our dinner tonight.

Because there is a big bag of from right here corn in the kitchen.

Our nice farmers grow lots and lots of corn. Everywhere. Ha. Good for us.

Corn is Niamh favourite dinnertime. With a squeeze lemon on top. Ha.

Sometimes I get corn too. When I am the kitchen helper. Ha.

When Zita came home I was sitting there all ready for our dinnertime walk. Ha. 

So we went on our walk right away. Good for us.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety One

We had a little sleep in this morning.

Then Zita and I went for our good morning walk.

But the windy rain everywhere rain caught us. And we were as soggy as could be. 

I had to stay in the kitchen until I was all dry. On my own soft towels. 

I have my very own towels. Ha. Good for me.

Craig and Zita stayed in the kitchen too.

So we could have our breakfast toasts altogether. That was nice.

Then a man came to our house. 

And he brought a different go fast chair to show us. 

Because Craig has to get a new go fast chair. A not so heavy one.

Because of his not so very good anymore shoulder. Too bad for him. Oh well.

So the man asked lots and lots of questions. 

So the new go faster chair will be just right. For my friend Craig. That is good.

Last night when Zita and I went for our before dinnertime walk we saw the squished house again.

And it is nearly all gone. Oh dear.

Then we went to see my friends the ducks. 

I looked for them but they were not there. Not even hiding in the bushes.

I think the way too noisy machine scared them. That is not so nice.

This morning Niamh had to go downtown. To help with the everybody stretching on the grass. 

Sometimes even nice dogs go to the government’s front lawn too. Ha. That is good. 

Niamh had to go to be a helper because someone was too sick to go downtown today.

Maybe Niamh will be all soggy too. If the rain catches them. Oh dear.

My friend Emmet is getting all his everythings all ready. 

So he can go on another aeroplane and live way far away Cork. 

In Miss Ross’s auntie Catherine’s house. 

And then in a while Zita is going to visit her parents. In way far away Dublin.

Then she can even visit Emmet too. 

Because Dublin is not so far away from Emmet’s next old university in Cork. 

And there is a do not fall over and crash train in Dublin that knows how to find Cork. 

All by itself. That is good.

I will stay here. 

Because I need to take care of Craig and Niamh. That is a big job. Ha.

After lunchtime Zita went to the delicious food store to get us lots of tasty food to eat.

And special toasts bread too. 

Then she went to the until you are tired and sore store.

When she came home Zita and I went for our dinnertime walk. And my friend Niamh came too.

Because she had to buy an empty book. 

Because her nice university will be starting soon. So she has to get all ready. 

Last night we watched the lady detective in Wales until it was all over. 

Then we went to sleep in clean as can be sheets. Clean sheets are my favourite. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety

We did not have have any sleep in today.

Because it is the day Miss Tamina comes to my house to make it all clean and tidy.

But Zita and I went to the busy street. Before our breakfast.

To visit our nice bank. To find Miss Tamina’s money. Ha.

There was a giant machine on Kathy’s street. 

Down by our other pond. Where my friends the ducks live.

It was squishing a house all away. Oh dear.

Because someone is going to build another house there. 

A way too big house there. I do not know why.

Craig and Zita saw it last night too. 

When they went on their walk.

So Craig could do more practice pushing the go fast chair. 

It was very noisy this morning. And dusty. 

I do not think the ducks liked it so much. I did not like it. 

When we got home Craig was already all dressed. And all awake too. 

Then Zita and the not so very fast bicycle went to the rascal ladies office. Ha.

We did not have time for our together breakfast today. 

Because Miss Tamina was there right away. Oh well. Too bad for us.

So we went outside to my side yard.

To hide from the very noisy keep the floor clean machine. It was not so very sunny today.

Craig found some new stories for our nice Queen and I played with my big red ball. Ha.

So we had a very quiet day today. 

Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store before lunchtime. 

But Emmet did not come upstairs until after Miss Tamina was all finished.

Emmet hides in the basement when Miss Tamina and the noisy machines are here.

Just like me. Ha.

Because we are best friends.

Then Craig and I had our lunchtime. We had a very big peanut butter and honey sandwich.

But we cut the sandwich into two. 

So we could have two sandwiches for our lunchtime. Ha. Good for us.

After lunchtime Emmet went to Mister Kettleman’s bagel store to find Miss Andrea.

Because she is visiting here. Ha.

This afternoon Craig was in the den working for our nice Queen.

So I stayed in the den to mind him. Right on his feet. Ha.

He is easy to mind. 

Before we went on our before dinnertime walk I helped Zita with all the garbage.

Because tomorrow the nice garbage men and their giant truck come to our house. Ha.

We did not have a very big walk. 

Because it is going to be all windy rain tonight. 

And we did not want to be soggy. That is a good idea.

I do not think we will have an altogether dinner tonight. Oh dear me.

Altogether dinners are my favourite dinnertimes. 

Because then I know where all my own family is. Ha.That is good.

I think we will watch the from far away Wales detective tonight. 

It is a good program. It is not very scary. That is good.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Nine

Today is the day just for dogs. 

Everywhere. All around the world. Ha.

But I did not have a sleep in. Oh well.

Zita and I went for our good morning to the world walk. 

It is another full of sunshine day. With no clouds anywhere. 

Maybe Mister Shadow’s vacation is all over. Ha. 

He loves chasing way all the sheeps clouds.

Because he is a minding your sheeps dog. Just like Miss Maggie.

In Ireland the sheep do not listen at all. And just go for their walks right on the road.

So the nice dogs have to go and bring them back home.

Before they get all squished. The sheeps are very silly. It is known.

I am a minding your cows dog. Ha. 

Cows are much bigger than sheeps. Good for us. 

After her time to wake up coffee Zita went to her downtown office. And I stayed with Craig.

But he did not have a nice sleep in either. Oh well.

But we played catch the ball even before the his first much coffees. Ha. 

And we had very very crunchy tasty toasts. Good for us.

Then I had a nice nap. 

When Niamh was all awake she had to go to the busy street. 

To get a brand new fingernail. Oh dear. I do not know why. Oh dear.

I do not get brand new fingernails. 

The make me beautiful store just makes mine all nice and smooth and not too long. 

So I will not just slide on the floor. And fall down on my bottom. Ha.

Craig and I had the fattest sandwich in the whole world for our lunch. 

With honey and peanut butter. Good for us.

Emmet is very busy making lots of clothes all as clean as can be. 

So he can go to way far away Cork with no smelly clothes at all. That is good.

And he went for a nice walk to get some of his favourite icy tea.

You can only have hot tea in way far away Ireland. 

Because it is not way too cold there. It is only way too wet. 

But Emmet has his very special keep you all dry as a chip jacket. That is good.

Miss Tarryn came to my house this afternoon.

Because she was not working today. Either was Niamh.

So they made own made popcorn instead. I was a big help. 

Then we went downstairs to eat it. Ha. 

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

It was a very nice walk.

Because it was still very sunny outside. And only a bit too hot. 

So we did not go for a very long walk.

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. With meatballs. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Eight

I had a very busy and very tasty night last night.

Craig and Zita and I watched the detective from far away Wales until very late. 

So we had midnight toasts. And jam. Ha. Good for me.

Then very very late at night a man brought Niamh and Miss Tarryn and Miss Georgie lots of very tasty chicken. 

So I helped them eat it.

Because there was way too much for just them. Ha.

It was not Irish chicken. It was Scotsman’s chicken.

Because it was made by Mister McDonald.

All the Mister McDonalds used to have their very own islands. In way far away. 

But they used to steal everybody’s cows. 

And their little sheep too. 

And sometimes even other people’s own castles. 

All the time. That was not so nice.

So now they have to make lots of not so very tasty chicken instead. Ha. Too bad for them.

Then I had a grumbley tummy and it woke Zita up. 

So she gave me another in the middle of the night dinner. Ha. Good for me.

This morning is sleep in Sunday but Zita and I had only a little sleep in.

Then we went for our good morning to everybody walk. 

In the as beautiful as can be blue sky day. Ha.

When Zita went to the stretching store I minded Craig. He had a not very big sleep in.

When he was all awake I went downstairs to see all the ladies. 

Because they were all awake and making lots of loud laughing noise. Ha. That is good.

Then Miss Georgie had to go to her job. 

She is making a brand new special dance. For some other dancers. I do not know them. Oh well.

When Zita came home we had our sleep in Sunday lunchtime.

With the pretend toasts from France and tasty bacon. Ha.

This afternoon Niamh and Miss Tarryn are going to a lake to go swimming and buy lots of treats. 

From the very tasty pie and cakes store. Ha.

Now Emmet has to get a brand new put everything on you back bag.

So he can carry all his important things to his new in way far away Cork university. 

Niamh will get it at her beautiful clothes store. 

Because she is his best little sister. Ha. That is all right.

I got in a bit of lots of trouble today.

Because I made a giant hole in my side yard. And then there were stones all over.

And everybody had to make the side yard all neat and tidy again. Oh dear.

Then I played with my big red ball. Ha. 

After lunchtime Craig and Zita went for a little walk. 

But Craig did not walk. Ha. Too bad for him. He went in the go fast chair instead. 

Because his shoulder is getting better. 

But he needs to practice pushing the go fast chair.

Because it has been a long long time since he went all over everywhere in the go fast chair. 

So now he gets a bit too tired. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

So he has to practice. Every day. Ha.

I stayed here in my house so I could mind my friend Emmet. And have a nice nap.

Because I was up in the middle of the night being a big help. 

Sometimes being a big help makes you too tired. 

So you have to have a nice comfy nap. On your very own duvet. Ha.

When Craig and Zita came home they had new strawberries and hamburger buns too.

So we will have a delicious outside cooked dinner tonight. Ha. Good for us.

I helped to make the lettuce very clean. It is my favourite job.

We did not go on an afternoon walk today. 

Because everyone was up too late last night. Me too. Ha. 

Maybe we will watch the next detectives from far away Wales tonight. After our dinnertime.

Maybe with some chips. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Seven

Today is Craig’s old friends breakfast day.

So Craig and Zita and Mister Paul went to the breakfast restaurant all together.

But today is the last day for the tasty breakfast restaurant. 

Because they are going to squash it all up. 

And build a too big building instead. That is not all right.

Then Zita and I had a nice walk in the beautiful as could be sunshine. Ha.

When we got home Zita used the very dangerous cut your toes off machine. 

To make our front lawn neat and tidy.

I sat in the black go fast car so I could mind everything. I was a big help. Ha. Good for me.

When we were finished Zita went to the stretching store. I stayed here to guard fast asleep Emmet.

Then Craig and Mister Paul came back here. 

So Mister Paul could borrow a noisy machine. 

Because he lost his own machine. I do not know why. Too bad for him.

He was here last night too.

Because we had a giant altogether dinner. With Mister Tony’s tasty pizzas. Ha.

Everybody was here. Even Miss Tarryn and Miss Georgie too. The dining room table was full up. Ha.

Everybody laughed a lot. 

But I could not have a nice under the table nap.

Because there were way too many feet. Too bad for me.

When Zita came home from the stretching store she had her own delicious lunch outside.

In our side yard. With Craig and me too. 

I got some toasts. 

Because I am always a very big help. It is known.

When Zita was all finished making our garden all beautiful we went for our before dinner walk.

Just us. It was still as sunny as could be. That is good.

And I had cheese on my own lunch. Ha.

My friend Emmet is making his story all about the long long long time ago Saints in Ireland all beautiful.

Craig helped Emmet with his story. On the big fast computer.

So I had two toasts today. Good for me.

The was an animal beside my house last night. When I was fast asleep.

But I heard it and jumped right off the big comfy bed. As fast as could be. 

I went right into the living room and gave it my very fierce barks. And it went away.

Maybe it was a giant raccoon. Or the smelly skunk. Or maybe a dangerous tiger. Maybe.

Then everybody went back to their fast asleep.

Because the house was all safe again. Good for me.

Niamh cooked us a very tasty pizza for our lunchtime. Ha.

Craig had a piece too. That is good.

Then Mister Mike’s little car came to our house to get my friend Emmet.

And then they went to the little apartment.

So everybody could play the dragons game again. But this is a different dragons game. Ha.

We have a rascal’s sign on our front lawn. It is from our very nice rascal lady. 

She has a nice dog too. I saw it on the flat computer. 

It is not a rascal. It is just a nice dog. Like me. But not so big. 

Niamh did not have to go to her work today. 

So she watched brand new programs on her computer. 

On her comfy bed. In her very big bedroom. I helped her. 

Mister Paul came to our house this afternoon. 

But not to have treats. He just borrowed the go fast car so he could move things. 

From his other house. Ha. 

Craig and Zita went out to a nice restaurant tonight. That is nice.

So Emmet could tell the government that he is going to live in way far away Ireland. For a little while.

Because he is going to his next another university. The old one. In Cork. 

He had to tell the government so it will not forget all about him. 

Because he is not just here. That is good.

Craig says sometimes governments forget things. 

Because they are sometimes too busy. Or too silly. Oh dear me. That is not all right. 

The nice lady who helped Emmet even knew all about way far away Cork. She was even there. Ha. 

I had cheese treats on my lunch today. 

It was the very tasty cheese Craig and Zita found.

When they went on their going for an adventure drive. Ha. That was a good adventure for me. 

My friend Niamh is downtown again. 

Helping everybody do their outside stretching exercises. On our government’s front lawn. Ha.

Then she went to back to the beautiful clothes store. 

Last night she practiced some more going fast on her board. The board with very little wheels. 

She always practices on the long roads at her nice university.

Because it is not even a bit far away from our house. 

She won a prize at the go fast board store. Pants that go all the way to her shoulders. 

Special go fast board pants. Ha.

Zita went to her stretching until you are sore store this afternoon. 

So she had to have a squeaky clean bath when she got home.

Maybe we will watch the new detectives after dinner tonight. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Three

It is a very beautiful day outside today. The sky was just empty blue everywhere.

Mister Shadow and Miss Maggie were very busy I think. Chasing all the sheep clouds back home. Ha. 

So Zita and I went for our good morning to everybody walk before breakfast time. Ha.

But we did not see any of our friends. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

Then the not so very fast bicycle and Zita went downtown to the rascal ladies office.

And so I minded Craig. On the big comfy bed.

But only for a little while. 

Because of our toasty croissants for breakfast. Ha.

Then we watched everybody out my watching window. 

When we were finished we sat in our side yard and I played with my very big red ball. 

And Craig was very busy this morning helping our nice Queen. He found lots of interesting stories for her. She will be very happy. It is nice to be happy. 

I am always happy. 

Except when I get in a bit of too much barking trouble. Oh well.

We stayed outside until Emmet was all awake. Then I had my own lunch.

At lunchtime Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store. But she was not so wide awake.

Because she as at her store until very very late last night. Opening the very big boxes of beautiful clothes. 

And now have lots and lots of brand new clothes in their store . For everybody to buy. Ha.

I do not know why. Oh well. 

Maybe Emmet knows. Maybe. 

And after lunchtime Mister Mike and his little car took Emmet to their friends apartment. 

To play the dragons game.

I watched Emmet from my watching window until Mister Mike found him. It is my best job.

Then I had a very nice nap. Outside. With my friend Craig. In the full of sunshine afternoon. Ha.

Then I got too hot so we came in. It is not nice being a too hot dog. It is known.

The present man brought some brand new pants for Craig. 

They are just the same as all the other pants. Oh well. 

Niamh has not one thing all the same. Ha. 

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Emmet is out with his friends. 

And Niamh is at work until a bit late tonight. Oh well.

Zita and I went for a lovely before dinner walk. When she came home from the rascal ladies office.

We did not go to see the ducks. 

We went the other not very busy way.

Maybe we will watch something brand new on the television. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Two

Zita and I did not have any nice sleep ins today.

We went for out nice walk. Past our own pond. 

Before it was way too hot. That is a good idea. 

Because we do not like the too hot in the morning walks.

After we got home Zita went downtown to the rascal ladies office. 

So I minded Craig. 

He had a little sleep in. So he could listen to his interesting book.

Then we were all awake we had a toasty warm croissant for our breakfast.

I had a nice nap but Emmet came upstairs to made his Irish tea and his breakfast.

And then Niamh was awake. So she went to her stretching on a little rug class. Downtown. 

With her friend Miss Anna. 

Tonight she and Miss Anna have to work at the beautiful clothes store until late late tonight.

Because now is when all the brand new nobody has ever see clothes come to her store.

In giant boxes. And they have to take them all out. So everybody can see them. Ha.

After Niamh was gone I had another nap. Ha. I had a nice quiet day.

Before lunchtime Craig talked to people in way far away Ireland. On the telephone. 

So Miss Ross could have beautiful flowers. 

The man will bring them right to her own house. In Ireland. Ha.

Because Zita wanted to say thank you to her for finding her own Auntie Catherine. In Cork. 

For my friend Emmet. Ha.

Craig and I had fat square toasts for our lunchtime. 

We did not have an outside lunchtime today. 

Because of the too hot outside.

Emmet went for his walk. But it was a very short walk. 

Because of the too hot outside. Oh dear me.

Sometimes my feet hurt in the way too hot. 

That is why Zita and I only walk on the soft grass when it is way too hot. 

That grass does not get even a bit too hot. That is good. 

There are two little islands in my pond. With do not run into anything towers on them. 

The people who have the sail around all by themselves boats put them there. 

It is so my friends the ducks do not bump into anything in the dark nights. Ha. That is nice. 

We had to put the make the house cool machine on this afternoon.

Because of the too hot. 

So I just had a nice big nap. On my comfy rug in the kitchen.

Craig was just reading everything in the den.

And Emmet was practicing his way way old Irish reading in his comfy bedroom in the basement.

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

Niamh and Miss Anna came to my house. 

Before dinnertime. 

Before they went to work. They were all hot. 

So they came to our very very cool basement. Ha.

Zita was not so late at work today.

So we went for our before dinner walk right away.

Because it was not so hot then. 

We had outside cooked own made hamburgers tonight for our delicious dinner. 

Because Niamh is not here. She does not eat hamburgers. 

She only eats chickenburgers. Oh well.

Maybe we will watch a new detective program tonight.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty One

We had a sleep in today.

Because it is sleep in Sunday. Ha.

This morning Zita talked to her mother and father in way far away. 

So she could tell them that Emmet found and place to live in far Cork.

But they already knew. Ha.

Because they read my own stories. That is nice.  And I told everybody about Auntie Catherine. 

When Craig was all dressed we had our toasts outside. In our side yard. Ha. That is my favourite. 

I can only play with my big red ball outside. It is not an inside ball. Oh well.

Then Niamh was fast awake too. And Miss Tarryn drove her to the beautiful clothes store. 

So she would not be late. That is good.

So Zita and I went for a nice walk. All the way to the canal. 

Last night we went into Professor Jill’s house. To look at everything.

Because she changed everything everywhere. 

Now she has a very very old all made of shiny metal bed. 

It was in the basement. Hiding. But she found it. Ha. That is good.

When we got home today Emmet was awake too.

So we had brand new tasty croissants for our lunchtime. With the from right here jam. And butter too. 

Then Zita helped Emmet find do not fall down aeroplane that knew how to get to way far away Dublin.

You have to look for a long time. 

Because sometimes they want way too much real money. 

And you have to look all over to find a not much money aeroplane.

I do not know why. That is silly.

I do not go on aeroplanes. They are not so nice for dogs. 

You cannot sit with your family and look out the window at all the beautiful clouds. 

And maybe see Mister Shadow chasing them all over everywhere.

Even if you are a very polite dog like me you cannot be with our own family.

You have to be in a box without any friends at all. In the basement of the aeroplane. 

So I do not go on aeroplanes. Too bad for them. 

This afternoon Zita made Craig’s get all dressed table bigger. That is good. 

Because that is where I sleep at night. If I get too hot on the big bed. 

Now it will not move at al when I jump up on it. That is good.

We got brand new pillows. And Zita gave me her old pillow. It is just for me. Ha.

Before dinnertime Zita took Craig’s mother out to the busy street. 

To look at people. That is her favourite. 

When Zita came home we went for our before dinnertime walk. We always have a dinnertime walk.

Unless it is way too hot, or too rainy, or way to cold, or if we are all too tired. Ha.

We had the shepherd’s pie tonight. Zita and I made it ourselves. And we played the pea game. Ha. 

We always play the pea game when we make the shepherd’s pie. 

But what does the shepherd eat now. Oh dear. 

Maybe he only likes donuts. Or tasty cheese sandwiches. Maybe.

Maybe we will watch the rest of the giant mountains detectives tonight. 

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty

It is Craig’s Saturday old friends breakfast day. Ha.

So he and Zita and Mister Paul went to the old friends breakfast restaurant. 

After Zita came back home we went for our good morning walk. It is a just a full of clouds day today. So it is a not so very nice outside day. 

And the radio told us that there might be thunderstorms too. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

But now my friend Emmet has a place to live. In way far away Cork city.

Because Zita phoned Auntie Eileen. And Auntie Eileen phoned her friend Miss Rozz.

And so Miss Rozz phoned all her Aunties. Even the ones who live in way far away Cork. Ha.

And now Emmet can have his own nice bedroom in Auntie Catherine’s little house. 

In way far away Cork.

It is because Zita knows Miss Rozz so now Emmet is nearly Auntie Catherine ‘s family too. 

And because it is just Ireland. Ha. Good for them.

Emmet talked to Auntie Catherine this afternoon. On the telephone. And he nearly understood her. 

Because people who live in Cork do not talk so much like the people who live in Dublin.

I do not know why. 

Craig said maybe it was the Viking’s fault. Or maybe not. Oh well. 

So now my friend Emmet is very happy and can even have nice sleeps at night. That is good.

And he went to see Miss Sue at her neat and tidy store after lunchtime. So he will not be too furry. 

When he goes to way far away. 

Then he is going out for a nice dinner with his friend who went to his nice university.

She knows all about the very very old times too. Ha. That is good. 

My friend Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store early this morning.

But she had a little bit of a sick tummy so the go fast car took her. Not the smelly bus.

Last night she was practicing going too fast on her board with wheels. 

On the hills at her nice university. She did not fall off and break anything. That is good.

Tonight Niamh and Miss Tarryn and Miss Georgie are going out all together. After our tasty dinner.

There is another football game on the busy street this afternoon. So our street is all full up again.

But maybe everybody is going to to be all soggy. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

Zita fixed the noisy clean the floor machine. All by herself. That is good. 

But now it is even noisier. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

But now our machine does not have to go to their Heaven. That is good. 

Because you only have to go to heaven when you are just dead. 

Not when you just do not work so well. That is good for Craig. It is known.

This afternoon Craig watched the football game. In the den. Where it is nice and dry. Ha.

We had the used from very far away India food for our dinner tonight. Ha. That is tasty food.

Maybe we will watch the from the mountains detectives tonight. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Nine

Zita and I only had a very very little sleep in today.

Then we went on our before breakfast walk. In the not too hot at all sunshine. 

Then Zita went to Mister Kettleman’s bagel store so we could have bagels for our breakfast.

Bagels are my friend Emmet’s favourite breakfast. With the special delicious cheese.

He is still looking for a nice place to live in way far away Cork. Oh dear. Oh dear me. 

But I cannot not help. 

Because I am just here too. Not over there. 

Niamh went to the beautiful clothes store early today. When I was still all fast asleep.

Craig and I did not have bagels for our breakfast. 

We had round toasty biscuits. With the brand new strawberry jam. Ha

And then we went outside for Craig’s too much coffee. And I played with my big red ball.

But we had to come in so Craig could do his work. For the nice Queen. 

But we had an outside lunchtime. With toasty bagels. And more jam. 

Then I had a little outside nap. 

And when I was all awake Craig was not there. 

He was only in the den reading stories. Oh dear. I was a bit worried. 

But only for a little while. 

Because I found him right away. He was not just all lost. Ha. Good for me.

So I had a nice nap in the living room. Beside my watching window.

The ring the bell truck did not come to my street today. That is good.

Last night everybody was outside with me. Craig and Zita and Kathy were there. 

So they could have their own before dinnertime cold with full of ice drinks. 

Then Zita and the go fast car brought back all the food.

So everybody stayed at the dining room table until I was fast asleep. Oh well.

I got some of the bumpy fluffy bread. 

When Zita and her not really so fast bicycle came home we had a very nice in the sunshine walk.

Because it was still beautiful outside. That was nice.

After our dinner maybe we will watch some detectives on the television tonight. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Eight

We did not have a sleep in today. Not even Craig. Oh well.

I took Zita on a nice walk in the beautiful outside this morning.

Because she and her bicycle went to a too early in the morning meeting. 

At her way too busy office.

Then Craig and I had our good morning toasts. And looked out my watching window.

Then we had the another coffee outside in the side yard. In the lovely sunshine. 

And we played catch the ball. A lot of times.

Until Craig had to find some interesting stories for our nice Queen.

So I had a little nap. Outside. 

After lunchtime Mister Mike found Emmet at our house. In his little car. 

So they could play their dragons game with their other friends. And maybe have too many chips dinner.

After lunchtime Niamh and Miss Tarryn went out just to see everything. 

Because it is a very beautiful day today.

But I stayed here to mind Craig. 

We had peanut butter and honey toasts. For our outside lunchtime.

Today is everybody should say hello to an elephant day. Everywhere. 

But we do not have any elephants here. Oh dear me. 

Because sometimes it is way too cold here. And elephants only like the way too hot. 

Elephants are way too big for nice keep your toes warm boots like mine. Oh well. Too bad for them.

The awful ring the bells truck was on my street again. That is not all right. 

My friend Kathy came to our house tonight. For a delicious dinner.

But Richard could not be here too. 

Because of an all of a sudden important meeting. Too bad for him. 

Because we had his favourite all the way from India food. Ha.

With the delicious bumpy fluffy bread. Ha. That is a good bread. good for me.

Zita and I had a fast before dinner walk. 

So we could get the food right away. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Seven

Zita and I had a nice walk this morning. 

It is an all beautiful full of sunshine day again. Ha. That is good.

Then I minded Craig on the big bed. He had his own little sleep in. 

When Zita was making the front garden all beautiful. 

But I could not help. 

Because of the digging big holes. Too bad for me. That is why I was minding Craig. Oh well.

When she was all finished we had our altogether toasts outside.

In my side yard. Ha. That is my favourite eat our together breakfast place. 

I have my own water outside now. Just for me. So I do not get thirsty. 

Today is Zita’s do not go to work day. So she did not have to go to work. That is good. 

But my friend Emmet is still looking for a nice place to live in far away Cork. Oh dear.

Then Zita and the go fast car drove Niamh to work. So she would not be late.

When she came home Craig and Zita went up to the busy street. 

So Zita could be a big help when they found any hills. Ha. That is nice.

Craig went to the neat and tidy store. 

Because he was way too furry. 

So some people thought that he was me. Ha. That is silly. 

His nose is way too small. And it is not so beautiful as mine.

When Craig was had his too much hair cut off Zita looked into all the stores. To see all the interesting things. 

Then they had a little lunch at the old friends restaurant. 

Now Craig is not furry at all. 

Very soon Emmet is going to see Miss Sue. 

So he will be all neat and tidy when he goes to way far away.

You always should be as neat and tidy as can be when you start something brand new. 

Then nobody will know if you are really just messy. Ha. 

Zita went to Craig’s mother’s lovely apartment to bring her the new fix you ear machine. 

Then she went to her stretching store. So she could be all tired. I do not know why. 

When she was all finished we went for our before dinner nice walk with Kathy.  Ha. Good for us.

Tomorrow the Mahoneys are going to visit me. 

And we will have a delicious everyone altogether dinner. Ha.

Maybe we will have lots of before dinnertime cheeses. Maybe.

We are having hamburgers tonight. I saw the brand new for hamburgers buns. In the kitchen. 

Maybe they will be the pretend hamburgers tonight. Maybe.

I can just mind everybody right under the dining room table. Ha. Good for us.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Six

We almost had a sleep in today. 

But Craig changed his mind. Oh well.

But Zita and I had a very nice walk before the not so very fast bicycle took her downtown.

It was not a long walk because it is way too busy at the rascal ladies office. 

And it was a beautiful full of sunshine day. Too bad for us.

I had a little sleep in. Then Craig and I had our together breakfast. 

And after we had Craig’s another too much coffee outside. 

So I could play with my new big red ball. Ha. That is a good ball. It is still all round. Ha. 

Our cousin Emma passed all her remember everything exams. 

In way far away Ireland Ha. Good for her. 

They are very long exams. I would not like that very much. 

And she even got lots more numbers than she needed. Ha. That is good. 

So now she is going to the university in far away Galway. But it is not so far away for cousin Emma.

Because she is already way far away. Ha. 

It is the same university as our cousin Orlaith. Ha. 

It is nearly a brand new university. 

But they are reading stories all about different things. 

Cousin Emma wants to know all about all the animals that live in rivers. And even fish too. 

I do not know why. 

Maybe because Emmet and Niamh know all about different things too. Ha. Maybe. 

Niamh does not want to speak like a long time ago Irish person. Or write their stories. 

Only my friend Emmet does. Oh well.

Now Emmet and Orlaith and Emma will all be going to university in way far away Ireland. 

But not together.

Emmet is still looking for a nice place to live at his next university. Oh dear.

Emmet’s next university is not brand new. It is just old. 

Because it is where you learn all about the way way old people. It is known.

And Emmet went for a long walk before lunchtime. To our little lake. 

Sometimes that lake is full of the nasty smelly geese. That is not so nice. 

When he was on his walk the way too noisy make your knives sharp truck was on my street again. 

I do not like that truck at all. It just has way too loud bells making too much noise. It is known.

I always give it very fierce barks. But then I get in trouble. Oh well. 

We had an altogether dinner last night. With Miss Tarryn and Miss Georgie too. 

But we cannot have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because Niamh has to work until nearly my bedtime tonight. That is not all right . Too bad for her.

Craig and I had very big and delicious peanut butter sandwiches for our lunchtime.

With the brand new from right here honey. That is good.

Today Emmet got his old university to give him some real money. 

To pay for the aeroplane ride to way far away Wales.

Because you have to give real money to go on do not fall down at all aeroplanes. It is known.

You do not have to give any money to go even everywhere in the black go fast car or the silver little car. That is good. 

I was going to have a nice afternoon nap today. 

But my duvet on the big comfy bed was not so comfy. It was all too lumpy to have a nice nap. 

Because all the pillows were inside. Underneath the duvet. 

Not all out side on the top. That is where pillows should live.  

So I went and just sat in the den. 

And then Craig put the pillows at the top of the duvet. Ha. That is good. 

Then I had a nice nap. Good for us. 

Emmet had another long outside walk today. A before dinner walk. 

Because it is still as beautiful as can be outside. It is just sunshine everywhere. Ha.

When Zita and the not so very fast bicycle came home we had a lovely sunshine walk too.

Zita was not very late tonight. That is good.

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Five

We did not have any sleep ins today.

Zita and I went for a nice long walk. Up to the busy street. To our nice bank.

But there were no people there. Maybe they were still all fast asleep. 

Just the machines were all awake. 

But the machines do not give giant treats to very polite dogs. Too bad for me. 

Then Zita and the black go fast car went to get Craig’s mother’s pretend ear machine. 

Because she lost the other one. Oh well.

When Zita came home she went downtown with her not so fast bicycle. To her way too busy office.

We did not have any toasts today.

Because Miss Tamina came to make the house spic and span. With the noisy machines. 

You cannot have your tasty toasts when it is too noisy. It is known.

So I went and had a nice nap on my own duvet. On the big comfy bed. Ha.

Niamh did not have any work to do at the beautiful clothes store today. 

So she went out to have a nice lunchtime with her friends. 

So they could eat not even a bit cooked food. Wrapped all up in grass. I do not know why.

Then the noisy make the floors clean machine just stopped working. 

Now it does not make so much noise. Ha. Maybe it is dead. Maybe. 

But machines do not go all the way to Heaven. I do not know why.

Maybe they have their very own Heaven. Where they all work just like new. Maybe.

So maybe we will get a new not so noisy one instead.

After Miss Tamina left Craig and I had fat sandwiches. With peanut butter and honey. Ha.

With brand new round bread. 

Craig said it was cannonball bread. Ha. That is silly.

Emmet has a cannon. Under his comfy bed. Craig made it for him when he was little.

That is why pirates do not come to my pond and steal the ducks. 

Because Emmet has his own cannon. And pirates are all afraid of cannons. Good for us. 

And then my friend Emmet came upstairs to make his own delicious lunch.

He is still very busy looking for a nice place to live in way far away Cork.

He needs a place not even a bit far away from his new next university. 

Because he is going to be there all the time. Writing his giant interesting story. 

Even until his own bedtime. Oh dear. 

Craig and I had our lunch outside today. I like outside lunchtimes. 

Then I had a nice nap. After my own lunch. 

There was very loud thunder this afternoon. 

So I went downstairs. To Niamh’s bedroom.

And Niamh and Miss Tarryn and Miss Georgie were there. 

So I minded them. All by myself. Good for me.

Then all of Emmet’s friends came over. To play their dragons game. Ha.

Our basement was full up to the top.

When Zita came home all the rain was all gone. So we could have a nice before dinner walk. 

I only got a little bit soggy. Ha. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Four

It is sleep in Sunday. 

But Zita and I went for nice walk nearly early in the morning.

Because it is a beautiful day outside today. So we went for a long walk.

All around the ponds. Ha.

When we got home Craig was still having a little sleep in. So I kept him company.

Because Zita had to go to her stretching store.

We did not have any toasts this morning.

Because of the sleep ins. Too bad for me.

When Zita was home everybody was nearly all awake so we had our pretend pancakes.

Then Zita drove Niamh to the beautiful clothes store. 

And Emmet went for his hello everybody walk.

Maybe Emmet found a very very little apartment in way far away Cork. 

In a very very old house. It is right across the street from his next university. Ha.

But his university starts before he thought. Oh dear. 

So now he has to be very quick about everything. Oh dear. 

But he has his little red book now. That is good. 

Zita went to our nice bank to help Emmet. 

So he can give some real money to his next university. 

She had to tell Emmet’s bank how to talk to his next university’s bank. I do not know why.

I did not know banks could talk. Nobody told me. Oh well.

We will not have our altogether dinner tonight.

Because Niamh has to work until late tonight. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

We are going to watch brand new detectives tonight. Ha. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Three

I was very busy today. 

Today is Craig’s old friends breakfast Saturday. And today he went to his breakfast. Ha.

Zita went with him. To help with the hills. And Mister Paul went too. Ha. That is good.

I could not go.

Because I had to mind my friends Emmet and Niamh. They were still all fast asleep. Ha.

When Zita came back we went for our after breakfast walk. It is not so hot outside today. 

When we came home Niamh had to go to the beautiful clothes store.

And Zita had to go to the stretching until you are tired store. 

I stayed here to my friend fast asleep Emmet. 

Craig’s old friends restaurant and Zita’s stretching store are going to be all gone. 

Very soon. Oh dear me. Oh dear me.

Because they are going to build a brand new building right there. Oh dear.

And another one too. Right across the street. It is nearly all finished. 

And an even a very big one right beside Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagels store. Oh dear. 

There will be too many brand new buildings. All at once. All on my busy street. 

Maybe we will get all lost when we go to our nice bank. Oh dear. 

Maybe I will not get their big tasty treats for polite dogs if we cannot find our nice bank. Oh dear me.

I do not like that so very much.

Now Craig and Zita are going to have to find new places to go to. That is not so all right. 

Then Craig and Zita and Mister Paul came back to our house. 

And Zita and Mister Paul fixed my side yard gate. All by themselves. I could not help.

Because they had to use the dangerous make holes in everything noisy machines. 

To fix the gate all perfect. 

Now it does not get stuck all the time. That is good.

But I had to go in to the den with Craig. 

Because maybe I was a way too much barking dog again. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

When Zita came home from finding her errands we went for a very nice before dinner walk.

We had a nice altogether dinner tonight. 

With food from Mexico. So we had lots of delicious cheese. So I got some. 

Right on top of my own dinner. Ha.

Maybe we will watch a new detective program tonight. 

Because Mister Tom gave us a brand new one today. At breakfast. Ha.

We have brand new chips too. Good for us. 

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy Two

I had a very nice quiet day today.

Because only Craig and Emmet were here in our house.

Niamh went to the beautiful clothes store very early again. 

And Zita had even more important meetings at the rascal ladies office.

The rascal ladies are going to have different offices. And people will have doors. Ha.

Craig and I did not have toasts today.

Because we ate all the toasty bread. So we had a muffin instead. 

Muffins are not so tasty as toasty bread and jam. It is known. Too bad for us. 

Today Craig had a lot of reading to do for his not all retired job. 

So I minded him. Right beside him. 

On my very favourite have a nice nap spot on the comfy rug. I stayed right there until lunchtime. Ha.

After lunchtime Emmet walked all the way downtown. 

To the government from way far away in Ireland office.

It is right beside Zita’s own office building too. 

Emmet’s I am Irish too little book was all ready for him. So he went to get it. 

It is red and even has his own picture inside. Ha.

Now the aeroport people will not ask him so many questions. 

When he goes back to way far away Ireland.

To his new next university in Cork. That is good. 

We played catch the ball lots of times after lunchtime.

Because it is a very beautiful day outside today. With lots and lots of sheep clouds.

I think Mister Shadow has his holidays just now. So he is too busy to chase them all far away. 

There were lots of ducks in our own pond today. 

Some were as fast asleep as could be. Maybe it is their holidays too. Maybe.

Today is the day to remember all about the people who were here before everybody else.

Sometimes they live very very far away. Even way way up north. 

Where the very very furry cows live. And the dangerous wolves too. Oh dear. 

So sometimes everybody forgets about them. That is not all right. 

I do not forget them. 

Because my friend Craig used to work with them. 

But not where the wolves lived. Just in where the giant mountains are. 

Some of them had very fast jump all around horses too. Ha. That is good. 

Craig did not ride them. 

Because Horses are very big. And smelly. Oh well.

Mister Paul came to visit our house. And to have his own beer.

Because he was a bit too hot. 

When Zita came home we had a very nice quiet walk. 

It is only a bit too hot today. That is good.

We did not have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Niamh had to have dinner with her friends. From the beautiful clothes store. Oh well. 

So I only had to mind Craig and Zita and Emmet. That is an easy job.

We had delicious cooked outside hamburgers. And lettuce too. Ha.

Lettuce is my favourite. 

And green beans. 

And smelly cheese. 

And pizza bits. 

And peanut butter.

And toasty warm croissants with jam from way far away France. Ha. Good for me.
