Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Three

It is our everyone get up early Monday.

So everybody got up. Except for Craig. He does not get up so early.

Because he is nearly all retired. Ha.

Zita and the black go fast car took Niamh to her early in the morning class at her nice university.

Then they went downtown to the rascal ladies office.

I minded Craig on the big warm comfy bed.

But he did not have a real sleep in either.

Because he had to have his too much coffees. Oh well.

And we had little scotsmen’s scones for our breakfast. Oh well. 

We did not have any jam on the  scones. Too bad for me.

Then we played catch the ball before Craig had to find some interesting stories for the Queen.

I had a lovely nap on my comfy kitchen rug.

It is a not very warm outside day today. 

And when Zita and I had our good morning to everybody walk we saw some nearly red trees. Oh dear me.


Soon the trees will be all empty again. Too bad for us.

Today is Zita’s last day at the rascal ladies office. Then she has her own vacation. Ha. That is good.

Tomorrow she has to go to the aeroport to find a do not get lost and find ireland aeroplane. 

Because she had to have an aeroplane to go to Ireland. 

Because it is way too far away for the black go fast car. 

And there are not any bridges across the giant ocean. 

And there are lots and lots of fierce black and white whales in the ocean too. Oh dear.

That is why you have to find an aeroplane that knows where Ireland is. 

Zita and I did not have a before dinnertime walk until it was all as dark as can be outside. Oh dear.

Because her work she had to go right downtown. 

So she could get a brand new play your favourite game machine. 

For my friend Emmet.

So she can take it to him in way far away Cork. 

Because sometimes you cannot just read very old stories all the time. It is known.

So we only had a little walk. 

Because maybe there were wolves hiding in the bushes. 

That is were they live when it is all dark outside. Oh dear me.

Maybe we will watch the nice churchman detective tonight. 

He always wears a hat. I do not know why. Oh well. 



Sunday, 29 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Two

It is sleep in Sunday.

But we did not have a sleep in at all.

Because a man came to our house to look at the wall in the basement. 

Before our breakfast. So I did not have a very long walk today. Oh well.

The man writes beautiful music and makes beautiful walls. All by himself. My goodness.

He even knew I was a miss Bouvier dog. Right away. Ha.

Maybe he will fix Emmet’s wall all up. Maybe.

We saw Emmet on Zita’s telephone. From his far away little apartment in Cork. Ha.

He is very very busy. Reading lots and lots of very old words. Oh dear me.

So he asked Zita to bring him some of his own books. When she goes to way far away.

And a Irish cold has caught him too. Oh dear. So Zita is going to see him in way far away. 

To make sure he has comfy warm blankets and soft as can be pillows. And a new bookcase too. Ha. 

When Niamh was all awake we had very tasty brand new croissants for our lunchtime. 

Then Zita took Niamh downtown. To her beautiful clothes store.

Because Niamh’s feet are a bit too sore. So she is going see her nice doctor. Oh dear.

To fix her up all perfect. Ha. That is good.

Then Zita went to the delicious food store. 

Because we did not have any jam at all. For our good morning toasts. Oh dear me.

That is not all right.

When Niamh got home very late last night I helped her take her shoes off.  All by myself. 

Ha. I am always a big help.

Then Zita was all awake too.

Because I had to go outside to make sure there were not strange animals in my yard. Ha. Good for me. 

Then everybody went back to fast asleep. Ha. Good for us.

Craig did not even wake up a bit. Too bad for him.

Zita was downstairs in the basement this afternoon.

Because she had to find everything so she could go to way far away Ireland. Oh dear.

Then there will be a full up going to far away handle bag in the kitchen. And she will be just all gone. 

To way far away. For lots of nights. Oh dear me.

I do not like those bags. It is known.

When Zita came home from the delicious food store I minded the house all by myself.

Because Craig and Zita went for a little walk adventure. To find tasty treats on the busy street. 

And some too much coffees too. 

When they got home Zita cleaned all the berries up from the side yard.

With the noisy blow everything everywhere machine.

Because sometimes I just eat the berries. And then I have a sick tummy. Too bad for me.

So I had to stay in the house. 

But when I am in the house I cannot be a big help. Too bad for me.

Then Zita and I went for our before dinner walk. Before it got all dark outside.

But we will not have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Niamh is working until after dinnertime tonight. 

So Zita will go in the black go fast car and find her downtown. When she is all finished.

And bring her back home. Ha. That is good. 

Maybe we will watch something on the television tonight. Maybe detectives. Maybe.







Saturday, 28 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Two 

It was another little all the time rain day this morning.

So Zita and I did not go for for a soggy before breakfast walk.

Zita and the black car took Niamh downtown to her beautiful clothes store. 

So Craig did not go to his old friends breakfast either. 

Because of the all the time rain. 

Even our beautiful giant flower was as soggy as could be. That is not so all right.



Craig and I had our round toasts together in front of my watching window.

When Zita went to her stretching store.

We did not see so many people today. Because of all the rain. 

When Zita was home we went for our before lunchtime walk. 

And we found our friend Profesor Jill. So we had our very long walk together. 

It was nearly not raining. So we were not all soggy when got home.

We had the round toasts with cheese on top for our lunch. Ha. 

Cheese is my favourite. And chicken. And green beans too. And pizza bits. I have lots of favourites. Ha. 

There is another football game game this afternoon. Up on the busy street.

In the sometimes rainy day. Oh dear. The lots of cars are all over everywhere.

Soon they will be all lost again. Oh dear. 

And then the police and the take them all away trucks will find them. Too bad for them.

After lunchtime Zita went to the make more keys store. 

Because we do not have enough. Oh well. I do not have a key. 

Because I have a nice bell that opens the door instead. 

When it makes the bell noise someone always comes and opens the door. Ha. That is a good bell. 

Craig watched the football game this afternoon. But he watched it inside. In the den. 

So he will not get all cold and soggy. I had a nice nap right at my watching window.

So I could watch all the lost cars. And the lost people too. 

Zita went to my store. To get lots more tasty food for me. Ha.

So I will not starve into nothing when Zita goes to way far away Dublin. And Cork too. 

To make sure my friend Emmet does not starve away either.

Zita found Niamh downtown and brought her home. And she was not even a bit soggy. Ha. 

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



Friday, 27 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty One

We had another get up too early in the morning day today.

Because Niamh had another way too early in the morning job at her beautiful clothes store.

So Zita drove her. I stayed here. 

So I could mind Craig.

Because he was still fast asleep.

Then Zita and I had a very long walk this morning.

Because we did not go for our walk last night.

Because of the very loud scary thunder. 

And Zita was all soggy from riding her not so fast bicycle home. In the all of a sudden too much rain.

So we stayed in our own house.

So we were could be all dry as can be when we had our dinner.

We had lots of tasty cheese and the fat giant bread Niamh found. 

At the bake very tasty things to eat store. That was a good dinner. 

When Zita went to the rascal ladies office this morning I minded Craig again.

Because he had a little sleep in today. Then we had our very crunchy too toasty toasts. Ha.

But he has his own go fast chair again. Not the not very comfy chair. Ha. That is good.

It is not so warm today. That is nice. 

Zita and Niamh saw my friend Emmet on Niamh’s telephone. In the black go fast car. My goodness. 

From way far away in Ireland. Ha.

He had to buy brand new sheets and pillow cases for his new very little apartment. Ha.

Zita is going to bring him some of his very fat interesting book when she goes to visit him. Ha.

I had a very quiet day.

Except when three squirrels were on my patio. They were chasing each other. That is not so all right.

Then I had a nice nap beside my watching window. And Craig too. Ha. Good for me.

Quiet days are very nice days too. Especially when you have a very comfy rug. 

And only Craig to mind. He is very easy to mind. 

He never goes outside to use the cut your toes off machine. That is good. 

When Zita comes home we went for another lovely before dinner walk today. But it was nearly dark outside.

So I had to watch everything. In case giant raccoons were hiding in the bushes. Oh dear.

And we will have an altogether dinner tonight. Ha.

Because Niamh and Miss Tarryn are here for a tasty dinner. 




Thursday, 26 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty 

I had a nice quiet day today.

I got up early so that Zita could drive Niamh to her very early in the morning open the store job.

Because it is a little all the time rain day this morning.

I have to mind the house when Craig is still fast asleep.

When we got home from our before breakfast walk I was a soggy dog. Again. Oh dear me.

But Zita and her not so fast bicycle went downtown in the rain anyway. Oh well. 

Then I minded Craig until he was wide awake and we had a very tasty croissant for our breakfast.

Because last night Niamh brought home a box of croissants.

Right from the especially tasty croissants store. That was nice. 

And a giant bread too. Ha. Good for us. 

At lunchtime we had another different fat croissant. 

Because there are lots of kinds of croissants. And all of them are very very tasty.

Then the nice man brought Craig’s go fast chair back here.

It is even all as clean as can be. Ha. It is nearly just like brand new. 

Except the company send the wrong seat. 

So they have to find just the right one. And send it to the nice man. Oh dear. 

Now there are two go fast chairs here. 

But Craig’s own chair is just all empty. Oh dear. 



And Craig have him lots of money for a brand new even faster and not so heavy chair. 

Because of Craig’s not so very good anymore shoulders. Oh well.

So now the company has to make the brand fast very chair all up. Just for my friend Craig. Ha. 

After lunchtime I had a very nice nap. On the big comfy bed. On my very own duvet. Ha.

Last night mister Paul saw all the little go by themselves boats. In my pond. 

With their lights on. In the dark outside. Ha. 

He had never seen them before. Too bad for him. 

He and Zita made a little door behind Emmet’s bed. So the men can fix it. That is good.

Craig was busy looking for brand new interesting stories this afternoon. 

That is why I had the lovely long nap. 

When Zita got home we did not go for a very nice all around walk. 

Because it was an all full scary noisy thunderstorms afternoon. 

The all the quiet sunshine was all gone to somewhere else. 

I went downstairs to my friend Emmet’s room. 

Right on his big comfy bed. With all the soft pillows. Good for me. 

Emmet told me I could use his room when everything was scary. 

Even when he is in way far away places. 

Because we are best friends. Ha. That is true. 

My my is my very best friend. It is known.



Wednesday, 25 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Nineteen 

It was not a get up early day today. 

Zita drove Niamh to her nice university so she could talk to a professor.

And when she came home two people came to my house.

To talk all about the new go fast chair. 

Because there are lots and lots of important papers to sign. 

Before you can get a brand new one. I do not know why. Oh well.

The man took Craig’s go fast chair away with him when he left. 

So he could fix all up just like new. Ha. That is good.

And make it spic and span too.

Because it was very dirty. Oh dear. That is not so good.

Now Craig has to use the old red go fast chair. 

But it is a not so very comfy chair. Oh dear.

When the people were all gone Zita and I went for a long all over everywhere walk. Ha.

And when we came home Zita went to her smelly stretching store. 

So she could stretch everything.

I am a very good stretcher. I always stretch all over whenever I am just all awake. Ha.

Dogs do not need stretching stores so much as people. 

Because we already know all about stretching. Good for us.

I got lunchtime peanut butter treats today.

Because I minded the house when Craig and Zita went out for a tasty together lunch.

They went to Mister Nicastro’s delicious cheese store. 

Because they make tasty giant sandwiches too.



And they ate them outside on the very little tables. 

Right beside the giant picture of the buffalo. That is my favourite picture. 

And they had some very small too much coffees too. 



That is a good lunchtime. 

This afternoon Zita had to use the noisy clean the house machines. 

Because the not Miss Tamina lady forgot to come to our house. Oh dear. That is not all right.

Then Zita went to the squeeze your muscles until you feel better lady. 

I stayed here to mind Craig. He had to put his feet on the sofa. In the den.

Because of the not so very comfy chair. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

Mister Paul is coming to visit us this afternoon. 

To help Zita make a nice hole in the wall.  Right behind Emmet’s bed. 

So that the men can see how to keep his room as dry as a chip. 

Maybe Mister Paul will have his dinner here too. Maybe.




Tuesday, 24 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eighteen 

It was not a get up too early day today. That is good.

So Zita and I had a very nice good morning walk. It is not so warm today. 

Zita told me that I need to go to the make me beautiful store. Ha.

After Zita and the not so very fast bicycle went to her office I minded Craig.

He had a little sleep in this morning. 

Because he had to listen to his interesting book. 

So I had a very nice nap on the comfy bed. Ha.

When we were all awake we had our toasts.

They were a bit too toasty today. 

But we ate them anyway. Ha.

But only one. The other was way too toasty. Oh well. 

Then we played catch the ball and Craig had his next too much coffee.

Today is Niamh’s read all her interesting stories for her nice university day. 

Maybe I will help her. Ha. I am a very good helper. Craig told me.

My own patio giant flower is a flower now. Ha. That is good. 


It is just like a little full of sunshine sun. Good for us. 

This afternoon Niamh had to watch an old movie on her computer. 

For her all about movies class at her university. Ha. That is a good class.

Craig and I played catch the ball lots of times after my lunchtime. It is not a rainy day today.

Next week Zita is going to way far away Ireland. To see her mother and her father.

And she is going to go and visit my friend Emmet in Cork too. 

And see his new very little apartment.

And maybe go out for a big tasty dinner. 

So he will not get way too thin and just blow all away in the wind. 

It is way windy in Ireland. I do not know why. 

When Niamh was all finished her reading for her nice university she cooked things.

Right in the kitchen. I had a nice nap.

When Zita came home we went for our before dinner walk. That is right. 

But Niamh was not here for our tasty dinner tonight.

Because she had to go to an important meeting all about ladies with go fast boards. 

I do not know why. Oh well.



Monday, 23 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventeen 

It was another get up early day today.

Because Zita drove Niamh to her nice university.

Because it is a bit of a rainy day today.

And today is a go very early and stay until late day for Niamh. At her university.

Craig was all awake early too. 

Because today Miss Tamina’s friend is going to come to make my house spic and span.

Zita and I went for our good morning walk. But only for a little while.

Because of the rainy day. 

Zita and I do not like rainy day walks so much.

I was a soggy dog when we got home. Oh well.

So I had to stay in the kitchen until I was a dry as can be.


Craig stayed with me. In the kitchen. Until I was all dry. 

And he made two toasts. But Zita took one.

So she would not starve to death before she got to the rascal ladies office.

Because her bicycle is a not so very fast bicycle. Oh dear.

Niamh has a very fast old bicycle. But not Zita. I do not know why. Oh well.

So Craig made two more toasts.


So we had three toasts this morning. With jam too. Ha. That is a good breakfast 

Then Craig and I waited at my watching window. But Miss Tamina’s friend did not come.

Maybe she forgot. Or got caught by a giant raccoon. Or dear.

The radio man said today is the fall down time again. 

But nothing is falling down. Just the rain. 

Maybe the trees do not have a radio man like we do. Oh well.

I do not like the empty trees so much. I just like the all full of green leaves trees.

When you have all empty trees then the too much snow comes. 

And then everybody gets very cold feet. Me too.

We had used pizza for our lunchtime.

But we did not have our lunch outside today. 

Because it was still a sometimes rainy day. Oh well.

After looking for interesting stories Craig and I watched a program all about people finding way way way old things. 

All hidden under the ground. 

Even a little statue of a man who looked like a fierce lion. Ha. That was interesting. 

But I went fast asleep. 

Because of the very comfy rug in the den.

The present man brought another present for doctor Susan. 

Because she always tells them the wrong house. When she buys things. That is silly.

When Zita came home we took it to her. When we went on our before dinnertime walk.

Maybe we will watch the nice detective from way far away England again tonight.





Sunday, 22 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Sixteen 

We only had a very little sleep in today. And it is sleep in Sunday. Oh dear.

But Zita and I had a lovely good morning to everybody walk with Professor Jill. 

When we came home Craig and Zita and I had our breakfast toasts. 

Then Zita had a squeaky clean shower.

Because today she has her very very important rascal ladies meeting. 

So she had to go downtown to her brand new office. All squeaky clean.

So she could mind everybody when the meeting is on. 

So I minded Craig and Niamh all by myself.

Craig was busy reading how Emmet is going to write his new very important way way way long story.

And then he read another one. So he could make it beautiful. 

Emmet is very busy writing all the time is his way far away in Cork university. Oh dear. 

And my friend Niamh was all fast asleep until lunchtime.

Because she did not get home from the in a field wedding until nearly this morning. 

On a smelly bus. Oh well.

And there were chickens at the wedding. So there was a dangerous chicken sign. Oh dear.



But they had a giant tent so everybody would not just cooked by the beautiful sunshine. 

And another tent too. Ha. And my friend Niamh too. Ha.


But there was not even one cow there. That is good. 

Because cows are too big for tents.


Niamh and Miss Tarryn were inside the very big tent.

So they could give everybody all the beers in the world. 



But Niamh got bitten by a nasty wasp. Right on her bottom. Oh dear.

I caught a nasty wasp this morning. And I ate it. Ha. 

Maybe it was the same wasp. Maybe. Good for me.

Niamh had ice cream for her breakfast. And it was lunchtime. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

Then she put her feet in the shaky water machine. 

Because she wore her beautiful shoes yesterday

So her feet were all sore and squished up. Too bad for her.

There are just football games on the television this afternoon.

So I just a nice quiet afternoon. Fast asleep. On my comfy in the kitchen rug. Ha.

We got brand new cheesie treats for my dinners. Ha. That is good.

When Zita came back home we went for our before dinner walk. Just us.

The other night when we were on our walk I met a bunch of little children. 

They were very small. I was very good. Zita said so. 

You have to be nice to little children because they are just little. I used to be very little too. Ha. 

When we got back to our own house Mister Tony’s friend brought us a delicious pizza. 

Just for us. Ha.

After dinner we watched detectives on the television. 

Because everybody was very tired. 

So we went to fast asleep early. Ha. 




Saturday, 21 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifteen 

We did not get up so early today. That is good.

Zita and I went for our good morning walk before Zita went to her stretching store.

Today is Saturday old friends breakfast day.

So Mister Paul came to our house and went with Craig to the new breakfast restaurant.

I stayed here to mind the house. 

Niamh was not here either.

Because she had to get brand new fingernails.

Because she is going to her friend’s wedding. Right in a farmers field. In the country side. Oh dear.

Maybe some cows are going to the wedding too. Or chickens. Oh dear me.

Zita drove Niamh and Miss Tarryn there. 

Because it is not so very close to our house. Oh dear me.

Niamh and Miss Tarryn put on their party clothes. Because it is a party too. Ha. 

Today is our cousin Lucy’s Sing Happy Birthday day. In way far away Ireland. 

But she is not so very old. Not like my friend Craig. Ha.

Maybe she will get presents too. And an all on fire cake. Ha.

All on fire cakes are my favourite. And cheesie treats. 

But she has to get up very early tomorrow. 

Because of the nearly football game on the television. Ha. 

Nearly football is cousin Lucy’s favourite. 

She even plays it at her in far away Ireland school. Oh well.



I do not like football so much. I like nice naps on comfy beds. 

Or my catch the ball game. 

Or walks to our bank where nice dogs get giant treats. I always get treats. Ha. Good for me. 

There are lots giant tents right our pond’s park today. 



Because there is a special just for today restaurant there. 

It is a table sheet restaurant. It is not a too many chips restaurant. But we are not going.


It is a not for even nice dogs restaurant. 

That is not so nice. It is my own across the street park. Too bad for us.

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

So my street is all full of cars again.

And there are lots cars just driving around. Oh dear. 

Because of the football game and the special restaurant. All at the same time. Oh dear.

And the take your car away trucks are here too. Oh dear. And the police cars too. Too bad for them.

When Zita got home she went to visit Craig’s mother. 

Then they went to visit the tasty food store beside the busy street.

After she came back home we went for our before dinnertime walk. 

We saw the just for today restaurant.  

It is an everybody eat together restaurant. I do not know why. Oh well.

But we did not go in.


Because of their not for dogs rule. 

That is not a very good rule. It is known. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

We had an all our used food dinner tonight. Those are tasty dinners. 

Maybe we will watch something brand new tonight. On the television.

Or maybe we will watch the nice detective again. Maybe.


Friday, 20 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fourteen 

We had another very early in the morning day again.

Because Niamh had to go and wake up the beautiful clothes store again. Oh dear. 

And when Zita went downtown Craig did not even have a sleep in. Oh well.

So we had two fat toasts. With jam. Outside in our side yard. 

Because it was another very just full of sunshine morning.

And we played catch the ball before Craig had to find his interesting stories. 

I stayed outside and had a lovely nap. In the sunshine. Ha. 

Then I came inside and had a nice right beside my friend Craig’s feet nap. Ha. Good for me.


Then we had our lunchtime. Good for me. 

Emmet is still in his very little apartment in way far away Cork.

He is learning even more how to talk like a long long time ago Irish person. Oh dear.

But I am not a long long time ago Irish Dog. I am Miss Poppy Taylor. And I am just from here. 

So I cannot understand that kind of talking. Oh dear me.

Maybe Emmet will not be able to talk to me anymore. Oh dear. Oh dear.

I would not like that. 

Tonight I will talk to Mister Saint Newton. He is very very old too.

And Emmet is writing new stories all about very very old Irish Saints. Oh dear.

So maybe Mister Saint Newton knows them. Maybe.

After our lunchtime Craig went into the den. To be the little girl detective again.


The one who lives in a very very big old house. With her own family. In way far away England. 

But they do not have any money. Just the very big house and lots of fields. 

But the fields are all just very empty. They do not even have sheeps. Oh dear. That is not so good.

Maybe some one stole them. Maybe. 

It is good she is a detective. Ha. 

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Or maybe I will mind the house and Craig and Zita will have a tasty dinner together. 

At a nice restaurant. Maybe a busy street restaurant. Maybe.

Thursday, 19 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirteen 

Zita and Niamh and I got up very early this morning. But not Craig.

Zita drove Niamh to her beautiful clothes store so she could get it already to open up. 

So she had to be there very very early in the morning. Before everybody else. Oh dear. 

Then Zita came home and we went for our early in the morning walk. Even down to the other pond.

But I did not see my friends the ducks today. 

Just the beautiful pond.


It is a beautiful full of sunshine day again. That is good.

When Zita and the not so very fast bicycle went downtown to her new office Craig got up too.

So I did not have any nice sleep in today. And I was up too early. Oh well.

But we played catch the ball even before we had our toasts. Ha. That is a good morning.

Then I had a nice nap.

Because early in the morning days are nice and quiet days for me.

We had rolled up peanut butter and honey sandwiches for our lunch. 

And Craig had more too much coffee. Ha. 

Then he had to read more interesting stories.

So I had a nice right beside him minding nap.



Then after lunchtime my friend Niamh came home from the beautiful clothes store.

Because she went to work too early this morning. So she had to have a nice nap. Ha. 

Then she went to the stretching on your own little rug store with her friends.

When they are all finished they will go to a movie. Altogether. 

Maybe they will be all smelly. 

Because of the stretching store. Oh dear me. 

You should not go out if you are just all smelly. It is known.

When I am all smelly I have to have a bath. In our own bathtub. Oh dear me. 

When Zita came home we went for our before dinner walk. We went on the nice quiet streets.

Because it was nearly dark outside.

Then we came home to have own made from China food. Ha. 

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight because only Craig and Zita and I are here. Oh well.

Wednesday, 18 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twelve 

Zita and I got up very early this morning.

So Zita could drive Niamh to her very early in the morning class. 

Because she did not sleep a lot last night and was too tired. 

And she has a stay until late day at her nice university. Oh dear.

Craig did not get up even a bit early. He had a big sleep in instead. Ha.

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

So she only did a bit of work. On her telephone. 

Then I helped Zita make our front lawn all neat and tidy. With the cut your toes off machine.

So then I had to stay inside with Craig. To mind him when he had his too much coffee. Oh well. 

Then Zita and I had a very nice walk. 

Because it is a beautiful as can be day outside today. Ha. That is good.

My friend Emmet has a brand new very little apartment. Very close to his next university. 

Now he has his very own bathroom. That is good. 

And a brand new number for his telephone. But it is a giant number. I do not know why.

And now he has a castle too.

Because when he walks just a little bit to his university there is a very big castle. 


Right there on the street to his university. Ha. 

There are lots and lots of castles in way far away Ireland. 

Maybe because nobody used to like anybody else. Maybe. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

After my lunchtime Craig and Zita went out for there own tasty lunch. 

I minded the house all by myself.

They went to the only has good for you food restaurant. Oh well. 

No lots of tasty chips for them.



When Craig and Zita came home Zita and I went for an early walk. 

But without Craig today. Oh well.

Because Craig had to do some writing for our government. Too bad for him.

Then Zita went to her stretching until you are all sore and smelly store. Ha.

So she had to have a squeaky clean shower when she was all back home. Ha.

And I had a nice nap. On my comfy rug in the kitchen. Good for me.

Maybe we will watch some more of the nice lady from far away detective tonight. 

That is a not way too scary program. 

Tuesday, 17 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eleven 

I was very busy this morning.

Because Zita forgot she had another meeting. An early in the morning meeting. 

So we had to be very quick about everything this morning. 

So we went for a not way so long nice walk. Oh well.

And she did not even get home until my bedtime last night.

Because they had to move everything to the new office. 

But Mister Tony’s friend brought them tasty pizzas. For everybody. 

And the nice men who carried everything too. That is very tasty pizza. 

And she had to find Niamh. Because she got on the brand new go downtown train. 

But she went the wrong way. 

Because she was never on it before.

Because is brand new. Oh dear. 

So Zita went to a brand new just for this train station. And found Niamh. 

That is why Zita was tired and nearly late this morning.

And that is why we could not have our long say good morning to everybody walk. Oh well. 

Then the not so very fast bicycle took her way downtown. To her meeting.

And I minded Craig on the big comfy bed. 

But he only had a little sleep in today. Oh well.

We had the very good for delicious toasts bread this morning. 

Before we played catch the ball.

Then I got in trouble.

Because of too many squirrels in my own front yard. And in my trees too. I hate squirrels.

So I had a nice nap on my comfy rug in the kitchen. 

My friend Niamh was still all asleep in her comfy bed. In the basement.

Craig was just reading big stories. To see if our nice Queen would like them. Ha. That is nice.

At lunchtime Niamh made her breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

All different and all at the same time. Ha. Then the kitchen was as messy as could be. Oh dear.

So now she can take her own made dinner to work. Ha. 

But the very loud save us save us machine went off lots of times. Oh dear.

When Niamh left Mister Paul came for a nice visit to bring back things.

And he brought tasty croissants for our lunchtime too. Ha.

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

When Zita got home we had a nice before dinnertime walk. With my friend Craig too. Ha. 

That is a good walk.

So we went to the other pond. And my friends the ducks were there. 

But not all of them. Just some of them. Oh well. 

We sat on the big bench for a little while and then we came home for our own dinner. 

Maybe we will watch the from far away detectives tonight. Ha. 

Monday, 16 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ten 

Today was an everybody got up early day. Oh well.

Zita and I had a very long walk. All around my own neighbourhood. 

So we could see everything new. Ha.

But we could not see my friends the ducks. 

Maybe it is a for ducks holiday. Maybe.


It was a very beautiful morning today. It was not even a bit cold. 

So we had a very long walk. Ha. Good for us. 

And when we got home Niamh went to her nice university right away.

Because she always has very early in the morning classes. Oh dear me.

And it is a stay until late at night day too. Oh dear me. 

So I had a very quiet day today.

Because it is only Craig and I in our house. 

But Zita does not have a very quiet day.

Because today is the move to the brand new rascal ladies office day. Goodness.

So she will not be home for our tasty dinner tonight. Oh well.

Craig and I had another tasty Mister Kettleman’s cinnamon bun for our breakfast.

Because the man brought us two cinnamon buns when he came to our house. Ha. Good for us.

But we had a late breakfast today. I do not know why. Oh well.

Then I had a nice nap. After we played catch the ball lots of times. Ha. Good for us. 

We stayed in our side yard for a long time. 

So I could have a nice rest in the very lovely sunshine.

When the winter comes to our house you cannot just sit outside. Even when there is lots of sunshine.

Because your feet will get way too cold. And your bottom too. That is not so nice.

So we only sit outside when it is nice. Not when it is way too hot or way too cold. 

That is why we sat outside a lot today. Ha. 

But we did not have our together lunchtime outside.

Because of the nasty sting you wasps. 

So we had our very tasty peanut butter and honey sandwich in front my watching window. Ha.

Then I had my own lunch. With smelly cheese on top. Good for us.

Then Craig had to do some reading for our nice Queen. So I had a beside him nap.

Maybe we will have toasty cheese sandwiches for dinner tonight. 

Craig knows how to make them. And delicious peanut butter sandwiches too.

And sometimes Scotsman’s porridge. Or making things toasty hot in the oven. 

But he is not such a big help in the kitchen. Not like me. Too bad for him.

Maybe we will watch more of the dangerous ring movie. 

With the giant elephants and lots and lots of dead ghosts. Ha. That is a silly movie.

Sunday, 15 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Nine 

It is sleep in Sunday but we did not have a sleep in today.

Because Zita is not here to mind everybody when they are sleeping in.

She is still at Kathy’s cottage. And she is fixing everything. With noisy machines. Ha.



Craig and I had Mister Kettleman’s very tasty cinnamon buns for our breakfast.

Yesterday was Miss Lilly’s Sing Happy Birthday day. They had a party. Niamh was there too.

It is the same day as cousin Ciara’s. Ha. Nobody told me. Oh dear.

After our breakfast Craig and I played catch the ball. Then I had a nice nap.

Niamh was not here for our lovely lunch.

Because she had to go downtown to the beautiful clothes store. And on the smelly bus. Oh well.

Before lunchtime Craig watched more of the dangerous ring movie. Ha. 

I did not watch. It is a too scary loud movie. Oh well. 

Then Craig had to do something on the big computer. Just for my friend Emmet.

For his little place to live. At his new university. 

Cousin Ciara sent us more cousin pictures. 

From her very late at night Sing Happy Birthday party. Ha.

Now I think everybody is very tired. Oh dear me. 

Even pictures of cousin Robert and cousin Simon too. I do not know them. 

Because they live in way far away. 



Then there was just lots of football on the television. Football is not so interesting. Oh well.

So I had a nice nap in the den. So I could mind Craig. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita came home after lunchtime. Then she was helping Emmet with the important papers too. 

But the papers were all the wrong way. I do not know why. Oh dear.

So Zita went to the rascal ladies office. 

Because they have a special very big machine for sending important papers. Ha. 

When Zita came home she brought lots of delicious food for us. That is good.

Then we went for our before dinner walk. 

Because now we have food for our dinner. Ha. 

Maybe we will watch the detectives tonight too. Maybe. 



Saturday, 14 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eight 

I had a very busy night. 

There was too loud thunder outside. In the middle of the night.

So I had to go downstairs to mind my friend Niamh.

So she would not be too scared too. 

So I slept right beside her on the very fluffy other duvet. Ha. Good for me. 

Then I came upstairs so I could mind Craig and Zita. When the noisy thunder was all gone.

It is Craig’s Saturday go to his old friends breakfast day.

But Craig did not go. He had a sleep in instead. 

Because of his a bit too sore push the go fast chair hand. Oh dear.

And when he was all awake so was Niamh.

Zita drove her to her beautiful clothes store and then she got us some brand new fat bread.

Because this afternoon she went to Kathy’s cottage. To be with all her lady friends.

And eat too much delicious food. And drink from way far very wine. 

And sit on the dock and eat tasty cheese treats. 



Because the Mahoneys love cheese treats. Ha.

But she will not be home tonight. She is going to sleep at the cottage . Not here.

So I will have to mind Craig all by myself. Ha.

And Niamh has to go her friends Sing Happy Birthday day party tonight. 

So it will only be Craig and I to mind each other. Ha. 

Today is cousin Ciara’s special Sing Happy Birthday day. 

Lots and lots of people went to her party. I do not know them. 

I only know the lady cousins. And my friend Emmet too. Oh well.

I saw their picture from the party. On Craig’s flat computer. Ha.

We had a fat peanut butter and honey sandwich for our lunchtime. With the brand new bread.

Then Craig watched his favourite movie all about a dangerous ring and the lost king and eleves and very scary orcs.

But they are not real. They only live on the television. Ha. That is good.

I did not go one my before dinnertime walk today.

Because Zita is at Kathy’s cottage and Niamh is at the beautiful clothes store. Oh well.

A nice man will brought us a Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagel sandwich. 

And two giant cinnamon buns. For our tasty breakfast tomorrow. Ha. That was a good idea. 

We will not watch the detectives tonight.

Because Zita is not here to help us watch them. 

Maybe Craig will just watch the football game. 

He did not watch the football game last night. 

But his team lost again. Oh dear me.

Friday, 13 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seven 

Craig had a little sleep in today. 

But Zita and I did not. We went for our say hello to everybody walk. 

It was a very full of sunshine morning.

Then Zita went to the way too busy rascal ladies office. Her not so fast by went with her.

When Craig and I were all awake we had two fat toasts. We had jam too. Ha.

And we played catch the ball lots of times.

Then Niamh was a awake and had a squeaky clean shower right away.

Maybe she was all too dirty. Oh dear. 

She cannot go to her beautiful clothes store if she was all dirty. It is the rule. 

This morning we heard a program on the radio all about Mister Saint David. 

He is the dragons favourite Mister Saint. 

Because he is from way far away Wales too. Just like them. 

So that is why the Welsh people have a fierce dragon on their flag. Ha. 

Mister Saint David alway liked to make beautiful music. All by himself. 



So now everybody in way far away Wales sing all the time. Altogether. Ha. 

My friends Craig and Emmet are Davids. And Craig’s father too. 

But they are not Mister Saints. 

You have to be very very dead to be a Mister Saint. 

Like my friend Mister Saint Newton. It is known.

And Craig is not such a very good singer. Oh well. 

This afternoon Craig was just a bit busy finding stories for our nice Queen. 

But there were not so many interesting stories today. Too bad for her. 

So we played catch the ball lots of time after our lunchtime. Ha. Good for us.

Tomorrow is cousin Ciara’s important Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha.

And all the from way far away cousins are going to be there. 

To sing the happy birthday song. Out loud. 

And Emmet will be there too. Ha. 

Maybe he will take the not so dangerous train. Or a smelly bus. Maybe. 

Emmet does not like smelly busses. Oh dear me. 

The present man brought a box this afternoon. 

Craig did not open it. Maybe it is a secret present. Maybe. 

Maybe a Merry Christmas time secret present. Ha. 

Then another man brought another present. But it was a not for us present. Oh well.

After Zita and I had our dinnertime walk Craig and Zita went to a delicious food restaurant.

Because Craig said it was a long week. Oh dear. 

Maybe we have the wrong clocks again. Oh dear. Too bad for them. 

I will guard our house. Ha. 

I always get a peanut butter treat when I guard our house.



Thursday, 12 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Six

Zita and I had our nice good morning walk today. It is not so very warm today.

I had only a very little sleep in with Craig. Only after Zita went to the very busy rascal ladies office. 

But not the brand new office. 

Because the slow men have not finished the little kitchen. Oh dear. That is not all right.

When Craig was all awake and I had very nice toasts. With brand new from way far away Belgium jam.

Then I had a nice nap. On my comfy rug in our all finished kitchen.

Niamh does not have work today. She has a read a lot day. For her nice university. 

I was looking out my own watching window and I saw my friends the ducks in my pond.

They were all on the little islands the men have made for their little go by themselves boats. 

So now they are duck islands. Ha. That is funny.

After my nice nap Craig and I had our sandwich for our lunch. Peanut butter and tasty honey.

Then we played a catch the ball game. Because it is not raining at all today. 

So we were not soggy at all.

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

But tonight there will be some loud music concerts up on my busy street. Oh dear.



And there will be lots of too many people on our streets. And lost cars everywhere. Oh dear me.

This afternoon Lee came to help Niamh make a tasty lunch. I helped too.

We made cheese toasties. I had some. And Craig too. Ha. Good for us.

And we played the tasty chip on your nose game too. 



I won. Ha. That is my favourite game. 

Then Niamh and Lee went to Lee’s house to watch more old movies. 

I stayed here to mind Craig. That is an easy job.

This afternoon there was a nasty fly in my house. Just flying anywhere. 

I chased it all over everywhere but I did not catch it. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

 Niamh and Miss Tarryn and Miss Jo all went to see all their friends at their nice university.

To eat chip and drink some beer. 

After our dinnertime we watched a brand new from somewhere way far away detective last night. 

Maybe we will watch her again tonight. 




Wednesday, 11 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Five 

Today is a busy day.

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

So we went for our before breakfast walk in the beautiful sunshine. 

Craig had a nice sleep in. 

But I did not mind him on the comfy bed.

Because he was all awake and all dressed too when Zita and I came home. Too bad for me.

So we had our toasts altogether. Ha that is good.

The Zita and the go fast car took Niamh to her nice university. 

It is another stay until late day for Niamh. Oh well. 

Zita went up to the busy street this morning.nto look for Merry Christmas presents. 

To take to way far away Ireland. When she goes to visit everybody and Emmet too. Ha.

At lunchtime I minded the house all by myself.

Because Craig and Zita went to the store to get my sometimes sore leg medicine. That is good.

And then they went to Mister Nicastro’s all the way from Italy food tasty store. 



Because they make delicious giant sandwiches. And coffee too.



And you can sit at nice little tables. Outside in the beautiful sunshine. Ha. That is good.

Mister Nicastro’s store has all the smelly cheese in the whole world. Ha. 

Sometimes I get tasty treats there. That is my very favourite store. Ha.

When Craig and Zita got home Zita went out again. Right away.

Because she could not find any lovely secret presents this morning.

So she went to some different stores this afternoon.

I minded Craig. He is easy to mind when he is busy working for our nice Queen.

When Zita came home the day was still as full of sunshine as could be. 

So we went for our before dinnertime walk right away. It was not a long walk today.

Because we are going to to have the tasty from nearly from here sausages for our dinner tonight.

So we are going to cook them outside. Right away. In my side yard. Ha. 

I will be a big help. Maybe I will get treats. Maybe. 



Tuesday, 10 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Four 

Zita and I got up very early this morning. Again.

And we went for our before everybody is awake walk. 

But the ducks were all awake in my own pond. Ha. Silly ducks.

And as soon as Zita and the bicycle went all the way downtown Craig was all awake too.

So I only had a very little sleep in today. Oh well.

Zita’s brand new office is still not ready. 

Because they have not finished the little kitchen. 

So she went to remind them all about it. Ha. 

After Craig’s first too much coffees we had two tasty toasts. With honey. Ha.

That is a good breakfast.

Then Niamh came upstairs too. But she was not so fast awake as I was. Ha.

She had to go to a meeting all about a wedding. 

Because her friend from the Center Building is going to get married. Outside. At a farm. 

Maybe there will be cows there. Or smelly pigs. Maybe. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

And Niamh has to give everybody their do not get thirsty drinks. Right outside. Oh dear.

So she had to get beautiful clothes for the wedding. Ha,

After his next too much coffee Craig went in the den to find very interesting stories for our nice Queen. 

So I had my before lunchtime nap. Ha. That is a good time for a nice nap.

Because when you wake up it is time for your delicious lunch. Ha. Good for me.

We only played catch the ball a very little bit this morning.

Because it started to rain and I did not want to be a soggy dog.

It is a not so very warm day today. Craig found a comfy warm shirt. 

Soon it will be time for the all empty trees. Oh dear. 

And my friends the ducks will go on their vacation. To somewhere nice and warm. Oh well. 

Our cousin Ciara got her important paper today. From her university in way far away Maynooth.

She is very happy. Ha. It is nice to be happy. I am alway happy. 

Even when Craig forgets to put cheese treats on my dinner. Good for me.



Her university has their very own castle. Right there. In the university. Ha. 



My own family visited it before I came to mind them. Ha.

That is a good university. 

Our nice university does not have a castle. Just lots of brand new giant buildings.

Giant buildings are not so interesting. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

There is a castle beside Emmet’s university. Ha. That is good. 



It is not such a big castle. Maybe it has lots of ghosts.

Because it does not even have a roof anymore. Oh dear.

The kitchen at the new rascal ladies office is stil not finished. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

Zita and I did not go for our before dinner walk. When she came home from her not yet ready office. 

Because of the nasty windy rain. 

Niamh is at the beautiful clothes store until late tonight.

So it is only Craig and Zita for our tasty dinner tonight. Oh well.

I think we will watch the last from France detectives tonight. Oh dear.

But a sore throat cold has caught Zita. So maybe we will go to fast asleep early tonight.

I do not like to stay up late at night. I like to be on the big comfy bed. 

Keeping everybody’s feet toasty warm. Ha. Good for me.


Monday, 9 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Three 

Everybody got up very early today. Except Craig.

Because Niamh has an early in the morning class at her nice university.

It is her brand new class about movies. Movies are Niamh’s favourite.

And Zita had to go downtown to see if their brand new office is all ready. 

Then everybody can move everything to their new office. The offices with doors. Ha.

Craig did not have a nice sleep in today because today Miss Tamina’s clean the house day.

So Craig and I had a big cinnamon bun for our breakfast. 

We made it toasty warm first. Ha.

But Miss Tamina was late today. And she brought a friend with her. 

So they could be as fast the the wind. 

I just had a big nap in my side yard. It was not so noisy there. 

This morning my friend Emmet sent me pictures from his university in way far away Cork.



Pictures of the very very very old big stones. With stories written on them. 

Stories written with only lines. Not letters. Oh dear. 



Just like the lines on Emmet’s arm.

But the stones are not outside anymore. They are right inside Emmet’s university. Ha. 

So nobody can steal them. Ha.

Emmet can read the lines. 

Because he only knows all about very very old Irish stories and very very old Irish people. 

Zita talked to Mister Fernando today. So he can fix Emmet’s bedroom.

Before Emmet comes home for the Merry Christmas cheese party time. That is good. 

Merry Christmas time is my favourite.

We have lots and lots of delicious cheeses at Merry Christmas time. Ha. Good for us.

Last night we had toasts with honey. 

When we were watching the from France detectives. Ha. That was a tasty treat. 

Maybe we will watch them again tonight. Maybe.

We will not have our altogether dinner tonight.

Because it is Niamh’s stay until late night at her university. Too bad for her.

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

It is still very full of sunshine everywhere even before our dinnertime. Good for us.

Sunday, 8 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Two

It was sleep in Sunday. I had a nice very quiet day today.

It is good to have nice quiet days. It is known. 

Zita and I only had a little sleep in. 

We went for our before breakfast walk before she went to the stretching store.

It is not the real stretching store. They have to wait for the brand new store to be finished. 

So they have a too small stretching place. With not even one window. Oh dear.

I stayed here because Craig was not all fast awake. 

He was in the comfy bed so he could watch the fast little cars. 

So I stayed right beside him so I could mind him on the big comfy bed. Ha.

Craig’s fast car did not win. Oh well.

When Zita came home we had our Sunday breakfast with bacon and pretend toasts.

Then Niamh went out with Miss Tarryn. Maybe for tasty treats. 

Because they do not have to work today.

Today is the day for everybody’s Teddy Bears. Everywhere in the World. 



We have some very fierce Teddy Bears. With swords. And helmets. Ha.



And Mister Regimental Sargent Major MacGruph even has medals. 

Our nice Queen gave them to him. That was nice. 

But he is retired now. Just like my friend Craig. 

After lunchtime Susan and Zita took lots of our way too much stuff to the store for people who do not have enough stuff.

They took a giant table and some not so very comfy chairs in Susan’s nearly a truck. 

Because everything was too big for Zita’s black go fast car. Oh well.

We had so much too much stuff Zita had to go two times.

Then we went for our before dinner walk. We found Professor Jill and the little dog. 

It is not so warm today so Zita had to find her warm jacket.

I already have a keep me warm jacket. It is just me. Ha.

When we got home Zita took the very very comfy chair from Niamh’s old bedroom downstairs. 

To the basement.

Because we gave the other not very comfy chairs away. Ha. 

Now the basement is nearly neat and tidy. 

And then she made Niamh’s old room neat and tidy too. 

Now it is not the just full of chairs and Craig’s very old music machines room. 

Neat and tidy is Zita’s favourite. Ha. 

I am always neat and tidy. That is good. 

We had green beans for our dinner tonight. I got some. Ha. 




We watched the brand new detectives from way far away France last night. 

Until we were too tired. So we went to fast asleep. Ha.




Saturday, 7 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and One 

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

Because Zita went to her beautiful hair store very early this morning. I do not know why.

So I minded Craig on the big comfy bed until Zita came home. Ha. 

Then Craig and Mister Paul went to the new old friends breakfast restaurant. 

But when they had their breakfast the tasty eggs were too cold. Oh dear.

But the nice man said all their breakfasts were all free. Ha. That is nice.

Craig and Mister Paul came home early.

Because there is another football game today. 

Up on the busy street. And that is where the new restaurant is. 

So there were lots and lots of people there. Too many people. Even in the restaurant.

So Craig came home before he got lost with all the too many people. Ha.

Or got all squished by all the lost cars. Oh dear. 

One of the take your car away trucks was right in front of my house. Looking for all lost cars. 

Zita talked to her mother this morning. On the telephone. 

She does not have flutter anymore. That is good. Ha.

Before Craig got home Niamh went to her beautiful clothes store and Zita went to the stretching store. 

So I minded the house all by myself. I got peanut butter treats. 

This afternoon Craig watched the football game on our own television. 

He did not have to go up to the busy street. Ha. 

Zita was very busy this afternoon. Moving everything in Emmet’s bedroom. 

So we can fix the sometimes too much water in his room. Ha. 

But first Zita had to go to the we have too much stuff store. With lots more of our too much stuff.

I had to stay here and mind Craig. But he was just in the den.

So I had a nice nap on the floor. In front of the den door. 

So he could not get away. Ha.

Because I have to mind him. It is my best job. 

When Zita came home went went for a very nice walk. 

All the lost cars were gone so we could visit the ponds. That is good.

When we got home Zita went downtown right away. 

So she could bring my friend Niamh home for dinner. 

I helped Craig wait for them. At my watching window. Ha. 

I am the best helper. Craig told me so. Ha. 

His football team did not win. Again. Too bad for him.

We are going to to have a little dinner just for Craig and Zita tonight. And me too. 

But Niamh had to eat downstairs.

Because she busy was doing work for the beautiful clothes store. Too bad for her.

Maybe we will watch something new tonight. Maybe.




Friday, 6 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred 

Craig and I had a very quiet day today.

Zita and Niamh were busy all day. Too bad for them.

Zita drove Niamh to the beautiful clothes store very early in the morning. 

She had to start the store again today. Too bad for her.

Then Zita came home and we had our good morning everybody walk. 

It is not even a bit sunny today. Oh well.

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

Zita’s mother is all back home. In her own house. Ha. That is good. 

Because in your own house you have your very own comfy pillows. And your cosy duvet.

Now she has brand new do not flutter anymore medicine. Ha. That is good.

Craig did not have even a little sleep nice sleep in today. I do not know why. Oh well.

So we had toasty bagels for our breakfast. We did not have jam today. Oh well. 

Then I had a nice nap. 

But then some very loud and fast aeroplanes flew right on top of my house. Oh dear.





You cannot have nice naps when too loud aeroplanes wake you up. 

Craig said that lots of very fast and loud aeroplanes are in our city. And even very old aeroplanes.

One is just like Craig’s father’s giant aeroplane. And lots of little aeroplanes too. 

From the very sad war. 



The very old aeroplanes are not so fast. But they are still too loud. I do not know why. 

And all the aeroplanes are going to be just flying all around for all the weekend. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

Zita and I had a very long walk last night. We went to our little lake. 

The smelly geese were not there. Just a fisherman. 

He did not want me to look at his fish. Too bad for him.

So we came home to our own beautiful pond before we had our dinner. 



We had the used from far away India food. Now it is all gone. Ha. 

Even the bumpy bread. Oh well.

Then we watched the nice detective. On the television. In the den. Just Craig and Zita and I . 

But we did not watch for a long time last night.

Because we were too tired. So we went to fast asleep. Ha. 

Craig and Niamh and I had our together dinner tonight.

Because Zita went out right after her work. To have a tasty dinner with Kathy.  

So a nice man brought us Mister Kettleman’s very tasty bagel sandwiches. With giant pickles.

I do not like pickles very much. Oh well.



Thursday, 5 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Nine

Everybody was up very early this morning. But not Craig.

Niamh had to go to get the beautiful clothes store all awake. Oh dear.

And Zita had to write an important story for a very important meeting today. 

At the rascal ladies office office.

When you have to go to work you just have to go to all the time meetings. Craig told me.

But when you are nearly all retired you do not have to go to meetings. Ha. That is good.

Zita and the black go fast car went downtown so she would not be late. 

When Zita left Craig was all dressed. 

So I did not have even a little sleep in. Oh well.

After Craig had his too much coffees the wheelchair man came to my side yard.

To show Craig another go fast chair. But this one could be a motorcycle too. Ha.

Like Uncle Bill’s. But not all the time.

Because the motorcycle part comes right off. Ha. That is silly.



But only a new go fast chair can be a motorcycle too. Oh dear.

And it is for outside only. Like my big red ball. 

Because you cannot drive a motorcycle in the house. It is known.

Cousin Orlaith rides her motorcycle sometimes. In way far away Ireland.


But it is a too fast motorcycle. Oh dear. 

It is a very noisy from way far away Italy motorcycle. Oh dear.

Today our Cousin Orlaith is in way far away Cork. With my friend Emmet. 

But not on the motorcycle. Ha.That is good. 

She made him stand still. For a beautiful picture. At his new university. In Cork. Ha.


Right in front of their giant gate. 

Old universities always have giant gates. I do not know why. 

Maybe there are dangerous animals there. Lions or maybe alligators. Oh dear.

There was an animal in my front yard last night. 

But I scared it all away. Ha. It is my best job.

We did not have any toasts for our breakfast this morning. 

Because of the motorcycle wheelchair.

So we had a very fat toast with jam for our lunch. Ha. 

Then I had a lovely long nap. 

Because I was up minding Zita very early this morning.

And Craig was just finding new stories for our nice Queen. 

So I minded right beside him. 

The music machine only plays soft music when Craig is looking for interesting stories for our nice Queen.

So it is easy to have lovely naps. 

Maybe we will have a nice before dinnertime walk today. 

Because it is a very sunny but not way too hot day today.

We watched the nice from way far away England detective last night. 

But we did not have any chips. Zita just had Irish tea. Oh well. 







Wednesday, 4 September 2019

Day Two Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Eight 

It was a busy day today.

Emmet’s do not get lost aeroplane was just late when it found way far away Dublin.

So he had to hurry very fast to find the all the way to Cork train. Oh dear. 


Emmet does not like to hurry so much. Me either. 

If you hurry too fast you might fall down and hurt your bottom. Or hurt your leg. 

I hurt my leg onetime. And could not go for long walks. For a long time. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

And now Zita’s mother’s is maybe going back home tomorrow. That is good.

With brand new do not flutter medicine. Ha.

And today is the brand new first day of Niamh’s interesting classes at her nice university.

So Zita drove her there.

When Zita was home we had a very long walk. All over our neighbourhood. 


And we saw our giant just like the sun flowers. Ha. Those are good flowers.

And we stopped at doctor Susan’s to chat. Ha. Then we went home.

Because it was nearly our lunchtime. Ha.

Last night Mister Kirian came over to visit us. Ha. 

So we invited him for a very tasty special delicious dinner.

Because the next day was the brand new beginning for everybody. Ha. 

And the nice man brought us all the way from India food. Ha.

They have very tasty food in India. And they have very tasty bumpy bread. 

And elephants. But they do not eat elephants. Ha.

The bumpy bread is my favourite.

Before our dinnertime Niamh was moving everything in her beautiful bedroom. 

Everything everywhere. Even the comfy bed. 

I did not like that so much. Things should just stay still. Oh well.

But Mister Kirian helped Niamh move the very heavy sometimes it is a bed sofa. And her giant mirror.

It is nice to have helpers. 

Then Miss Lily and Lee and Cara come to watch. 

Cara and Lee are still all by themselves. 

Miss Bruna and Mister Lyndon are still in way far away Italy. Visiting lots of cousins. Ha.

We have lots of cousins in way far away too. But they are different cousins. Oh well.

Today is Zita’s do not go to work day. But she was working all day. Oh dear.

Because they are moving the rascal ladies office. 

They are moving to a different office. 

With brand new colours and their own doors too. Ha. That is good.

So Zita has to talk to lots of people. So they can move and not get even a bit lost. Oh dear.

After lunch I minded the house all by myself.

Because Craig and Zita went up to the busy street to have some outside coffee and giant cookies. 


I got peanut butter treats. 

When they were back home I told them the present man was at our house. Ha.



And he left a present. But it was not for me. Oh well.

Then Zita had to do even more rascal ladies work. Oh dear.

And Craig was just busy working for our nice Queen.

So I had a very nice long nap. Ha.

Then Zita and I went for our early before it rains walk. We had a very long walk today.

Because we did not have a nice walk last night.

Because of the special delicious dinner. Ha.

I only have to mind Craig and Zita tonight for our dinner.

Zita said maybe we will have toasty cheese sandwiches. Ha.

They are my favourite. 

Poor Niamh is at her university until after dinnertime. Too bad for her.
