Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Four

It was a rainy morning.

So I was a bit soggy when Zita and I came back from our walk. 

And Craig was even all dressed when we got home.

So I did not have a sleep in today. Oh well.

The black go fast car did not take Zita downtown today. The not so fast bicycle took her instead.

I do not know why. 

Craig and I had a very tasty special Scotsman’s scone for our breakfast. With jam too.

Zita brought some home last night. They were made by witches. Oh dear.

Maybe because tonight all the little children come to our house. In scary costumes. 

And we give them candies. Some of the little children are witches. 

And some are even ghosts. 

But not real ghosts.

Because they do not have their own castles. Ha. Too bad for them.

We only played catch the ball a little bit today.

Because of the sometimes rain. Oh well.

We had very fat peanut butter and honey sandwiches instead. Ha.

This afternoon Niamh went to see the lady who makes exercises. 

For Niamh’s neck. That is a good idea. It is not so nice to be sore. 

But it was not today. Oh dear. It is next week. Oh dear

Sometimes I have a bit too sore leg..

But I get my special peanut butter treats so it is not so sore. Ha. That is a good treat.

I do not know if little children are going to go to Emmet’s very little apartment. 

There is a very big castle just up on Emmet’s going to the university street.

Maybe they might have real ghosts. Maybe. 

When we give everybody candy I am always a big help. 

Some people even know me and say look there is Poppy. 

So I am not so scared. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita came home when it was not very dark. 

So she would be here when all the ghosts and monsters come to our house. That is good. 

Craig did sit in the brand new very fast chair today. I do not know why.

Maybe it is way too fast for inside our house. 

Maybe it would just crash. Oh dear. I do not know. Too bad for me.

I had a lovely sleep on my comfy duvet this afternoon. 

So I would not be tired for the little children. Good for me. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Three

I had a very busy morning today.

Zita and I went for a not so long walk this morning.

Because it was not so very interesting outside today. 

So I did not want to go very far away. Oh well.

Then Zita had to use the dangerous blow everything away machine. 

And then move some of our beautiful bushes. Before the too much snow is here. 

And then Mister Luc came to our house. In his very big truck.

And he brought the brand new go very fast chair. For Craig. 

But he had to make it just for Craig. So then he took it back to his own store. 

And then Zita did even more work in our front yard. Before we had the windy rain. 

Craig and I had an own made muffin for our breakfast. 

We did not have tasty toasts today. Oh well. Toasts are my favourite. 

And then Niamh was all awake so Zita drove her to her nice university. 

Last night I almost fell right off the bed. Because my feet slipped. Oh dear. 

But my friend Zita woke right up and helped me. Ha. That was good. 

Then I went to sleep on my own comfy duvet. On the floor. Beside the big bed. Ha.

I did not fall off it. Ha. 

After lunchtime Mister Luc brought the brand new just for Craig chair back. 

It is a cannot fold up and go in the trunk of the cars chair. It is a not even a bit heavy chair. 

So Craig can go on long see everything walks. With Zita. And me too. 

This afternoon Zita had to find some comfy furniture for her office. Ha. 

So Craig and I had a nice quiet afternoon. I had a nice nap too. 

When Zita came home we went for a short soggy walk. Too bad for us.

Niamh has to stay until late at her university tonight.

Because she has a reminder every thing exam. Oh dear. 

I did not like my exams so much. 

We have to find new detectives tonight.

Because we watched all the lady detectives. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Two

I had a nice quiet day today.

Except for this morning. 

Zita and I had to get up very early and make Niamh some tasty toasts.

Because she only got home when the sunshine was here.

Because last night her friend got too sick.

Niamh and Miss Tarryn had to take her right away to the hospital. But it was very busy. 

So they could not take their friend back to her own house until this morning. Oh dear.

Then Niamh was very hungry. 

Because there are no nice restaurants at the hospital at nighttime. Just nasty food machines. Oh dear. 

So we made her tasty toasts. And then she went to fast asleep. In her big bedroom. Ha.

And Zita and I had our good morning to everybody walk.

Before the not so very fast bicycle took her downtown to the rascal ladies office. 

I stayed in the big bedroom to keep Craig company. So we had a lovely little sleep in.

Before we had our round toasts with the very tasty raspberry jam for our breakfast.

Then we played catch the ball. But not so much.

Because Craig was busy finding interesting stories for our nice Queen. That is his best job.

I kept him company. On the very comfy sofa. 

I have my own sofa pillows. Ha. 

But I get too hot on the comfy sofa. Then I have to have my own nap on the comfy rug instead.

When my friend Niamh was all awake we had our own lunch.

We had Niamh’s own made pumpkins cheese cake. Ha. It was very tasty. Ha. Good for us.

Then Miss Tarryn came over so they could go for a nice quiet ride. To see the beautiful trees. 

In Miss Tarryn’s very old fat car. 

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

Tonight Craig and Zita went to the little restaurant. Up on the busy street. For a nice tasty dinner.

So I got peanut butter treats. 

Because I am the very best house minder ever. Ha. 

Then a nice lady came and took one of the way too many chairs to her house. 

She did not have enough lovely old chairs. So we gave her one. Ha. That is nice.

Then Zita and I went for an after dinnertime walk. In the dark again. We went to all over everywhere. 

We were very brave. Ha. 

Maybe we will watch the lady detectives tonight. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty One

Everybody was all awake early today. Except for Craig. 

Doctor Susan drove Niamh and Lilly to the nice university this morning.

Because Lilly had a too long sleep in. Oh dear.

Then I took Zita for a nice walk. I was not a too much pulling dog today. Ha. Good for me.

But it is not a very nice day outside today. I could not find even a little bit of sunshine. 

But we found my friend the giant bird. Ha. That is good. 

In the nearly empty other pond. 

The not so fast bicycle did not take Zita to her office today. Maybe it was too tired. 

So the black go fast car took her instead.

Craig only had a very very little sleep in today.

But I stayed all comfy and warm on my own duvet. 

Then when Craig made his too much coffees I was fast awake.

And then we had the last fat cinnamon bun for our good morning breakfast.

Today is Niamh’s stay until nearly dinnertime day.

Craig looked for interesting stories for our nice Queen. 

And he even found some. That is good.

I had a nice nap on the comfy rug. In front of my watching window. I can see everything now.

Because all the dirt in back in the very deep hole. That is good.

But a man has to come and look at the right beside the cars tree. Maybe to take it all away.

Because maybe it might fall down. Because is very very old. Oh dear. 

Craig is very very old too. Maybe that is why he fell down in the go fast chair. Oh dear. 

He should hide when the man comes. 

Or maybe they will have to take him all away too. Oh dear me.

I will not tell anybody where he is. Ha. Good for us. 

We had raspberry jam toasts for our lunchtime. Then we played catch the ball. 

I was fast asleep when Niamh came home. 

But I told Craig right away. So he would know that Niamh was all back home. That is my best job.

Then I had a nice minding nap. Right beside him. In the den.

While Niamh was in the kitchen making a very special tasty dessert.

All afternoon. For tonight’s altogether dinner. Ha. That is all right. 

Her computer was helping her. That is nice. 

But she had a very noisy chop everything all up machine. 

She made a special cooked in hot water inside the oven cheese cake. Ha.

That is a special cheese cake. It is known.

But I stayed in the den. With my friend Craig. Ha. Good for us.

When Zita came home we went for a before dinner walk. Even in the dark.

It was very dark outside. Oh well.

So I was a very fierce minder dog. 

Just in case some lions were all awake. Or the silly smelly skunks. Ha. Good for me.

It is easy to be very fierce if you are minding your friends. It is known.

Maybe we will watch the lady detectives tonight. Maybe. Or have a nice nap. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty

 It was sleep in Sunday today. 

But Zita did not have a nice sleep in. 

So she talked to her parents in way far way Dublin. But only for a little while. 

Because the boy cousins were there.

To fix the shower all up. 

So visitors will be squeaky clean too. That is good.

But Craig had a big sleep in. So I stayed with him on the big comfy bed. 

To keep his feet toasty warm. Ha. That is my favourite job.

We did not go for our nice walk this morning.

 Because of the way too much windy rain. 

So we went for a before lunchtime walk instead. But I got in trouble.

Because I was a too much pulling dog. I do not like the windy rain walks. Too bad for me.

So when we came back home I had to stay in the kitchen. On my own towels. 

Until I was all dry as could be. My friend Craig stayed with me. 

While Zita went to the tasty food store store. Up on our busy street.

So we could have pretend toasts from France for our lunchtime.

And we saw my friend Emmet on the computer. 

Right on the dining room table. When we had our lunch. 

He was still in his very little apartment in way far away Cork. 

He is very busy writing all the time. Oh dear me. 

Niamh had a big sleep in too. She was only fast awake at lunchtime. Ha. 

After our lunchtime Zita drove her to the beautiful clothes store. 

She will not be home for our dinner tonight. Too bad for us. 

Craig watched the fast very noisy little cars drive all around. And try not to just crash. 

Then he watched the football games too. I do not know why. Oh well.

When Zita came home we went for our walk. In the very dark.

But I did not get into any trouble at all. Ha. Good for me. 

So we are still best friends. It is known. 

We found an interesting detective program last night. 

All about lady detectives. They used to be soldiers. Ha. It was not scary.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Nine

Zita and I went for an early morning walk today.

Because it was a very busy morning.

Today is Craig’s old friends breakfast restaurant day.

And Zita and doctor Susan and their other friend had an altogether breakfast too. 

I did not take Craig to the brand new breakfast restaurant. He just went with Mister Paul. Not me.

Because I stayed here so I could mind my friend Niamh. 

She was fast asleep in her big comfy bedroom. So I had a little nap too. 

Then Mister Charles came to dig holes. All by himself. 

So Emmet will be able to see out his own bedroom window. When he comes back home. That is good. 

Now Mister Charles’s friend is going to come and make our beautiful patio lower. 

So the go fast chair can go right on to the patio. 

Because the steps will be all gone away. Ha. That is good. 

Sometimes go fast chairs just fall over when they go on steps. Oh dear. 

That is what happened when Craig hurt everything. The go fast chair just fell over. On top of him.

Right in front of my house. I was very upset.

So we will make our patio just all right for the go fast chair. Ha. 

When Zita came home she took Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. In the little silver car. Ha. 

Because her new nice doctor told her it would be good to do all her very favourite things again. 

But not so much of them. Ha. That is a good idea. 

I am nearly old just like my friend Craig.

And we do not do our favourite things so fast anymore either. 

Craig said we are relaxed. Ha. Good for us.

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

So there are lots of lost cars. And police cars too. Oh well.

Craig’s football team does not win so many games this year. Oh well. Too bad for him.

Zita went to visit Craig’s mother. And take her out for a tasty treat. Up on the busy street.

Where the football game is. Oh dear. 

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

In very dark outside. But we did not see even one giant raccoon. Or a dangerous tiger.

Because I was very fierce walker tonight. Ha. Good for me.

We did not find a very interesting new detective last night. Just some not even a bit interesting ones.

Oh well. Too bad for us.

Maybe we will find an interesting not too scary one tonight. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Eight

It was a very sunshiney morning today. 

So Zita and I had a very nice walk. It was not so warm today.

After her own bicycle took her downtown I minded Craig. 

I even had a little sleep in after Craig was all fast awake and all dressed.

I just got up when the fat tasty cinnamon bun was all toasty warm. Ha. Good for me.

Then we played catch the ball game. 

Mister Charles did not come to my house today. 

Because he has to wait until the all filled up hole is as dry as a chip. 

He is going to come here tomorrow to put the big flat stones back. 

And make a brand new hole for my friend Emmet’s window. That is good. 

When Niamh when went to if you get bopped on the head doctor.

 She told Niamh she has to do special exercises. For her neck. 

So she will not have nasty headaches. And her eyes will not be sore anymore. 

That is a good doctor.

Craig and I looked out my watching window a lot today.

Because the lots of dirt hill was all gone. 

But my own pond is all as empty as can be. Oh dear. Too bad for me. And my friends the ducks too.

When Niamh was all awake she was very busy doing her work for her nice university. So I minded her. Ha.

Craig and I had the round toasts from far away England. For lunchtime. 

With brand new raspberry jam. From far away France. Ha. 

And today is a famous battle day. With way far away England and way far France too. Ha. That is very silly. 

Maybe the English people stole all their raspberries. Maybe. Oh dear. 

When Zita and the not so very fast bicycle got home we made own made pizzas. Just for us. 

With lots of cheese. All over everywhere on the pizza. Ha. That is a good pizza.

When the pizza was in the oven Zita and I went for our before dinner walk. But not for a long time. 

Because soon it was going to be scary dark outside. Ha. That is good.

We did not find a very interesting detective last night. 

Maybe we can find some tonight. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Seven

Zita and I had an early in the morning walk. 

Before all the too much rain came to my street. Ha.

Then she and her not so very fast bicycle went downtown. To her office.

This morning our cars are not in our driveway. 

Because maybe Mister Charles’s giant truck will be here.

Craig did not have a nice sleep in today. Oh well. 

So we had our cinnamon sticky bun in front of the windows. In the living room.

So we would be here when Mister Charles came to put all the dirt back into the giant hole.

Then Niamh was all awake.

Because she had to go see to the special doctor. 

The if you get bopped on the head doctor. Oh dear. 

She is a friend of doctor Susan. 

That doctor is right at Niamh’s nice university. Ha. That is good.

Then her friend is taking her out for a very tasty lunchtime. At a nice restaurant. Ha.

Craig’s head is still very round. His hair did not grow so much last night. Oh well. Maybe tonight.

At lunchtime Mister Charles and his helpers came to our house. 

And his other friend brought his little digger with him. To help. 

But they did not have lunch here. 

Because they were too busy. Fixing the giant hole.

But even a little digger is a bit scary. 

So I went into the big bedroom and had a nice quiet nap. On my own duvet. 

Then I had my own lunch with Craig. 

Everything is not so scary when you are with your friends. 

We had fat peanut butter and honey sandwiches. In the den. For our lunchtime. 

Then everybody was gone. Even the little digger and the giant hole too. Ha.

Then Craig and I played catch the ball game. A bunch of times.

Because it was not even a bit scary outside when the digger machine was all gone away.

Ha. Good for us.

When Zita came home we went for our walk. In the very dark outside. 

It is very scary when it is all as dark as can be outside. Sometimes wolves hide in the bushes. Or tigers. 

So we did not go for a very far walk. 

And it was not so very warm. I am not so very furry now. Just like Craig. Oh well. Too bad for us.

Last night Craig and Zita and I watched the church man who is a detective too. 

That is a good program. It does not have any scary music. 

Maybe we will watch nice not very scary detective tonight. Maybe. 

Maybe we will have chips too. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Six

We just had a little sleep in today.

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

But we did not have a right away nice walk. 

Because Zita was reading my friend Emmet’s very long story. 

It is all about the very important very very long story he is going to write.

For his far away in Cork university.

So I went into the big bedroom and talked to Craig until he was all wide awake. Ha. Good for me.

When Zita was all finished the story we went for a very long walk. 

But it is just an all full of clouds day today. I could not see the sunshine anywhere. Too bad for us.

We did not even have toasts. Everybody was too busy. 

I was not too busy. Oh well.

Then Craig and Zita went on an another adventure walk. 

So Craig could go to the neat and tidy store. And then they went to a tasty food restaurant. 

But when they came home it was not the same Craig. 

Because now he does not any hair at all. It is nearly all gone. 

This morning he was all as furry as I was. 

But now he has just an all round head. Oh dear.

Niamh just laughed a lot. And pointed at him. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

Niamh says he has to wear a hat if he goes outside. Oh dear. 

He said he will be as beautiful as can be when it is our Merry Christmas time. That is good. 

Then Craig had to find more interesting stories for our nice Queen. 

And Zita and Niamh went to the very big tasty food store. To get more tasty food. For us. 

So I had a nice nap on the comfy big bed. 

When Zita and Niamh were back home they did not even stay. 

Niamh went to Lee and Cara’s house. And Zita had to find a letter for Niamh’s doctor. 

I stayed here to mind Craig. 

Only Craig and Zita and I are here for our dinner.

And I do not know what we will watch on the television tonight. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Five

I had a very busy morning.

Last night Zita had a sick tummy and could not stay at the rascal ladies office. 

So she came home and watched to see who won on her computer. In bed. In her pajamas. With me too. 

She did not go to work this morning. So I took her for just a little quiet walk. 

And then the black go fast car took me to the make me beautiful store. Too bad for me.

So I could not have any toasts with Craig and Zita this morning. 

Because I was not even there. I was still at the make me beautiful store. Too bad for me.

But then Zita found me. Right there. In the same store. Ha.

And the black go fast car took me right back home. 

Now I am not so very furry again. Ha. 

But I am always tired after going to the make me beautiful store. And itchy too. 

So I had a nice nap. After I rolled all around on the living room rug. Ha. 

Good for me.

I could not look out my watching window. Because the giant hole is still right there.

This morning Mister Charles talked to Zita. He was very sad.

Because his nice friend with the digger machine had an accident. In his car. 

And then he died. Oh dear. 

That is why the giant hole is still there. Oh dear. 

He was a very nice man. He waved at me. I did not even bark at him. Good for me.

Maybe he has a nice dog waiting for him in way way far away heaven. To show him everything.  Oh dear me.

I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. In case he does not have a nice dog there. 

Mister Saint Newton will find a lovely dog to keep him company.  

And help him find all his old friends too. And a brand new digger. With his own name on it.  Ha. 

After Zita and the black car went downtown to her office a man came to take away the rascal sign. 

Because the election is all over. And our nice lady rascal won. That is good. 

And lots and lots of her friends won too. That is good. 

But Craig’s hockey team did not win again. Too bad for him. 

Niamh had a giant sleep in today. I kept her company until the middle of the night last night. Ha. 

So I did not get her all awake today. 

Because her door was closed. Too bad for her. 

Before dinnertime I had a lovely nap. On the comfy sofa. In the den. So I could mind Craig too.

Good for me. 

Maybe we will watch some more of the magic school and the good friends movies tonight.

Because Zita and Niamh will be all home. And not somewhere else.

When Niamh was fast awake I helped her make toasty cheese bagels. Good for me. 

When Zita got home we did not go for our before dinnertime walk.

Because it was a full of rain afternoon. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Four

I did not have a nice sleep in today.

Because today is the day Zita had to go back to work. Oh dear me.

So we had a very early morning walk. In the beautiful sunshine. 

We have had lots of sunshine. Good for us.

You cannot get all soggy in the beautiful sunshine. 

Then Zita and the not way too fast bicycle went all the way downtown. To her new office.

Craig did not have even a little sleep in today either. Oh well.

Miss Tamina and her helper came today. They did not fall into the giant hole. That is good. 

They found our side yard door. All by themselves. 

Before they came Craig and I had another very sticky cinnamon bun for our breakfast. 

I stayed outside when Miss Tamina used the very noisy clean the house machine. 

I do not like that machine so much.

Then Niamh was all awake so she and lee and Cara could go to the voting for rascal store. Altogether.

That is good. 

We have a very nice lady rascal. We have a vote for her sign right on my watching corner. 

Maybe she will win again. Maybe. 

But sometimes not the right rascals win. I know why. 

It is because dogs cannot go to the rascal voting stores. It is known.

I had two breakfasts today. Ha. And Zita got me brand new just for me cheese. 

To put on top of my nice food so it is very tasty. 

Niamh is very happy today. 

Because her professor gave her big brand new story a very big number. Ha. That is good.

This week is for everybody at Niamh’s nice university to write all the stories they forgot to write. Ha.

Craig and I played catch the ball after our lunchtime. And then I had lovely little nap.

We had peanut butter and honey toasts for our lunch. That was a tasty lunch.

Then I had a very nice long nap. On my very comfy rug.

Last night we watched another all about the friends who go to the magic school movie. 

But the very old Professor was killed. By magic. That was not all right. 

I do not know why. He was a very nice Professor. 

And the very nasty man is still alive. Oh dear. That is not all right.

Zita came home for a little bit. We had nice Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagel sandwiches.

Because Zita did not have time to make a tasty dinner. She had to go back to the rascal ladies office.

Because tonight is the vote for all the rascals night and they have to watch for all the lady rascals. 

To see who won. Oh dear.

The black go fast car went with her. 

So she does not have to come home on the not so very fast bicycle. In the very dark outside.

That is good.

 Niamh is going to Miss Tarryn’s house. 

So all her friends can watch all rascals on the television. 

But Craig is going to watch the hockey game. 

He does not want to watch the rascals on the television. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Three

Only my friend Niamh had a nice sleep in today. And today is sleep in Sunday. Oh well.

Zita and I had a very nice walk in the lots and lots of sunshine. 

But it was a little bit cold. There was even ice on the cars. Oh dear.

Then Mister Charles and his helper Mister Daniel came.

With lots of stuff. In their giant truck. 

And some very noisy machines too. 

So Zita went to her stretching until you are tired store. 

Craig had I had Emmet’s very favourite very sticky cinnamon buns. For our breakfast.

And my friend Emmet is not even here. Oh dear me.

But we had one anyway. Oh well. He would not mind. 

Mister Charles used his very loud machine to fix the crack underneath Emmet’s window.

Then When he was in the very deep hole and glued fat things to the wall.

So I went to the kitchen and had a quiet nap on my very comfy rug. 

And Craig went into the den where it was not so noisy there.

Tomorrow is the day that everybody goes to the vote for the rascals store.

But some way silly people do not even go to the store. That is silly.

My family always goes to the vote for the rascals store. 

It is our rule. Ha. That is a good rule.

I would go but not even very nice dogs like me can vote for rascals. That is not right.

Dogs know who would be a good rascal right away. 

People are not so good at finding a good rascal. I do not know why. Oh dear. Too bad for them. 

Yesterday Zita painted a tall shelf for her make some beautiful clothes room. 

So the room is nearly all finished. Now there is only one comfy chair. 

Not just too many chairs anymore. 

Now the other very comfy ones are downstairs. 

And the not so comfy chairs went away. Ha. 

One side of the room is so Zita can make lots of beautiful clothes.

And the other side is all full up with Craig’s old music machines. Ha. 

Niamh had to go out this morning. 

Because the going fast on a board store wanted to take her picture. 

To show everybody their lovely clothes. I do not know why. Oh well.

Zita made the side yard all neat and tidy this afternoon. 

She used the giant cut everything scissors to make our trees beautiful. 

But then she used the scary blow everything everywhere machine. I had to stay inside. 

I do not like that machine so much.

Then Craig and Zita went for another exercise walk. To practice pushing the go fast chair. 

Because it is a beautiful day outside today. All day. Ha. 

Soon Craig will have an even faster chair. So he has to be as strong as can be. Or he will not be so fast. Ha. 

When they came home they brought tasty sausages. For our dinner.

Then Zita and I went for a little walk. A not too far walk.

Because my leg is a little sore today. Oh well.

We are going to watch another of the magic school movies tonight.

Because Niamh is here with us tonight.

But tomorrow Zita has to go back to work. 

Because her vacation is all over. Too bad for us. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty Two

We did not get up so early this morning. Good for us.

Then Zita talked to her mother and father in Dublin. That is nice.

Then Craig and Mister Paul went to their old friends breakfast. I did not take them today.

Because Zita and I went for a very nice walk in the beautiful all over everywhere sunshine.

We saw all the trees everywhere. 

But my own pond was nearly empty. And my friends the ducks have all gone far away. 

Because it is their vacation time. Oh well.

Then Zita went to the make you tired and smelly store. It is still on the busy street.

Because their beautiful brand new store is still not all finished. Oh dear. That is not all right.

I stayed here so I could mind Niamh. She was just fast asleep downstairs. On her comfy bed.

When Craig was home I got cheesie treats for my breakfast. 

I did not eat my breakfast until lunchtime. 

I do not like to have my food without my cheesie treats on top. 

Craig says that is because I am spoiled. Oh well. Too bad.

When Zita was home she put the blinds on the window. 

And a brand new table. For the make beautiful new clothes machine.

Because the brand new paint was all dry today. That is good. 

Now I can go in that room again. Ha.

Then Zita took doctor Susan for a nice walk. 

All the way to the fix your bicycle all up store. 

Because her not so fast bicycle is al fixed. That is good.

Craig watched the football game on the television this afternoon. 

His team does not win very much. Too bad for him.

Tonight Niamh and Cara and Lee are going to a scary farm. I do not know why.

They went there last year. It must not be so scary. Ha. 

So we will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Oh well. 

We cannot watch all about the magic school movie tonight.

Because Niamh has to be here if we watch those movies. It is the rule. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty One

Zita and I had an early walk today. I was only a bit soggy. Ha.

Then Mister Charles and his helper Mister Daniel came to my house. 

Because it is not raining outside today. That is good.

Then Zita took the back go fast car to the fix your noisy car store. 

And she brought the little silver car back home. Now it is as quiet as can be. Ha.

The black go fast car is not noisy. The man has to look at the do not get stuck in the snow tires. 

Before the too much snow can find us. Ha. 

Mister Charles put a brand new very big long tube in the bottom of the giant hole. 

And he made a new wall there too. Wth special made for under the oceans cement. Ha. 

And he put lots of stones on top of everything. I do not know why. 

Then he left. 

Because the specal cement had to be as dry as can be. Then he will come back. Ha.

Zita talked to my friend Emmet this morning. In way far away. 

He is very busy writing brand new everythings. Oh dear. 

Niamh went out to lunch. With a lady from the beautiful clothes store. 

To talk all about when Niamh will go back to her work. 

He nice doctor told her she has to have some quiet days. 

Because of the nasty sore headaches. 

I have quiet days too. They are good days for lovely naps. On comfy beds. 

Craig and Zita went out for a lovely lunch and practice pushing the go fast chair. 

So he will be as strong as me again. That is good.

They went to Zita’s friend’s little restaurant for delicious lunchtime treats. 

And then they went to the store that makes the especially good for toasts bread. 

It is the heavy as can be bread. 

And they brought home very big raspberry scones. Ha. Scones are my favourite. 

Then Zita had to talk to the what is on the television man. On the telephone. For a long time. Oh dear.

Sometimes they are not such good listeners. Zita told me. Oh dear. 

When Zita and Niamh came home I was all ready for my before dinnertime walk. 

So we went right away.

Last night we watched another all about the magic school movie. They had flying horses. 

And very fierce not very friendly dragons. 

They were not the very very old dragons from far away Wales. 

These dragons were too new to be nice. That is not so good.

Maybe we will watch another movie tonight. Altogether in the den. 

With me to mind everybody. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Forty

Zita and I went for a soggy walk this morning. Oh well.

Then Zita went to have tasty treats with her friend. 

Because Zita is on her vacation. Ha.

So I minded Craig on the big bed. 

He was listening to his another interesting book.

When we were all dressed we found a fat cinnamon finger. From Mister Kettleman’s tasty store.

It was in the very cold refrigerator. So Craig cooked it until it was all toasty warm. Ha.

Then he had it for breakfast. Instead of tasty toasts. I helped. Ha.

Mister Charles could not come today. Because of the rain. Again. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

I still cannot see out my watching window. Oh dear. 

What if there are dangerous animals hiding out there. 

Maybe giant raccoons. Or tigers. Maybe. Oh dear me.

I cannot be the best house guarder in the whole world if I cannot look out my window. It is known.

After lunchtime Zita drove Niamh to her nice doctor’s office. 

So the doctor could see her nasty hurt your eyes headache. That is good.

But she had a squeaky clean shower before she went.

Because you cannot be a bit smelly when you go to the doctor. It is known. It is the rule. 

Then they came back here to our house. With lots of letters from Niamh’s nice doctor. About her head. 

Because she got hit on the head again. I do not know why. Nobody told me. That is not all right.

How can I take care of my family if I do not know when they are not so all right.

And then Zita and Niamh did not stay here. 

Because they had to go back to Mister IKEA’s store.

Because Niamh’s brand new rug was too small. So they will get a big one instead. 

Last night we watched two movies. Altogether in the den. 

More movies about the far away magic school. Ha.

And there was a very big fierce very big black dog in one of the movies.

But he was also a very nice man. Ha. And there was a professor who was sometimes a wolf too. Oh dear me. 

That is silly. Oh well.

Maybe we will watch another one of those movies tonight too. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Nine

I had two walks this morning. A little early one.

And then a big one. Ha.

Because Mister Charles and his friends were going to be here. But then they were not.

Because the television said it was going to be all the time rain this morning. 

But it was not. Oh dear. 

So then Craig and Zita and I had our delicious toasts together. With jam too. Then Zita went to her make her tired store.

I am going to the make me beautiful store too. In a little while. Ha. Good for me.

Then my friend Niamh was all awake.

She cannot to to her work. Because something fell on her head. Again.

And she has nasty sore headaches. And her doctor said she cannot go to work.

She has to stay in her own house. And be a bit quiet. Oh dear. 

I minded her in the den. It is my best job. 

Last night all of us watched a movie. In the den. Ha. That is good.

Because I could mind everybody at the same time. Right there. On the comfy rug.

We watched the movie all about the famous magic school. In way far away. And all the students. 

There was a giant dog. But he had three heads. Oh dear. I would not like that so much. 

We are going to watch another one tonight. All together. 

There are lots of movies abut the three friends. It is good to have friends. It is known.

After our lunchtime my friends Zita and Niamh went to Mister IKEA’s store. To get some things. 

Maybe some cinnamon buns too. Maybe. Or new blinds for the windows. Maybe.

I stayed here so I could mind Craig. 

Craig was reading my friend Emmet’s very big story. 

It was all about his giant take a very long time to write story. All about why you are a brave hero.

In long long long time ago Ireland. Because nobody has written that story. Ha.

Now Emmet is going to write it. And be famous. Ha. Just like the Punics. That is good. 

Maybe he will get an elephant too. Elephants are very big though. Oh well. 

When Zita and Niamh were back home we did not go for our before dinner walk.

Because it started to be all rainy outside.

And because they brought pizzas. From the famous lots and lots of very delicious cheese on top pizza store. Ha.

Those are very good pizzas. They have very tasty crunchy crusts. Ha. 

So we stayed right here. Where it is all cosy warm and dry. Ha. 

And had pizzas in the den. So we could watch another movie altogether. 

That was a good idea. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Eight

We did not have any nice sleep ins today.

Zita and I got up early.

Because she is painting the wall in the full of Craig’s very old music machines room.

Then I took Zita for a lovely walk in the beautiful sunshine. 

And when we got home Mister Charles and his helpers were here.

They were making the giant hole even bigger. Oh dear. 

I can not be a big help. The giant hole is too deep for me. Too bad for them.

So Craig and Zita and I had our toasts.

But we could not look out my watching window.

Because of the giant hill of dirt. In front on my house. 

Right on my patio. Oh dear me.

When we were all finished our breakfast Zita  painted the wall again. In Niamh’s old bedroom. 

Because it needs lots of trying before the wall is not so very dark anymore. 

Then my friend Niamh was all awake too. That is good. 

I helped her with her lunchtime. That is a good job. 

Then Zita took the silver little car to the fix your car store.

Because it is way too noisy. Just all of a sudden. Oh dear. 

And when Zita came home she and Craig went for an adventure walk.

Because Craig’s shoulder is not so sore as before. Now it is just not so very strong. 

So that is why he goes for his adventures. With Zita too. Because of the sometimes too big hills.

I am very strong. I do not need help on the hills. 

Just sometimes I just need a bit of help on the scary basement stairs.

Because they are a bit tall. If my leg is too sore. Oh well.

When Craig and Zita came home they brought potatoes to make Niamh’s very favourite dinner. Ha.

Then I took Zita for an early afternoon walk. 

Because Zita said that maybe it was going to rain this afternoon. 

And we did not want to be soggy. Ha. Good for us.

When we got back home we were as dry as could be. Ha. Good for us. 

Then Zita took Niamh and Miss Tarryn to buy some old clothes. 

At the old clothes store.  I do not know why. 

We will have our altogether dinner when they get home. That is good. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Seven

We did not have a sleep in this morning.

Because Mister Charles was going to come to fix Emmet’s wall. 

But it was raining so he could not come so early today. 

So Craig and Zita and I had our toasts and then I took Zita on a little walk.

In the sometimes rain. Oh well.

We were only a bit soggy when we got home.

Then Mister Charles and his helper Mister Daniel were here. 

Moving everything on my patio. Even our front steps.

Because the too much rain goes behind them. And then it gets into Emmet’s beautiful bedroom. Oh dear.

So then they brought a real digger machine. 

To my house. Right on my patio. Oh dear me.

And they dug a giant hole. Oh dear me. 

I did not know they were going to dig a hole. Nobody told me. 

Mister Charles and his friends are very noisy. 

So I went into our kitchen and stayed on my comfy rug.

Because digger machines are a bit scary. So I did not watch them.

Either did my friend Zita. She stayed in Niamh’s old bedroom so she could paint the wall. 

Craig just stayed in the den so he could help our nice Queen. 

We had our special dinner last night. With everybody. Except my friend Emmet. Too bad for us.

Everybody stayed right at the dining room table until very late.

Because they had two different desserts. Ha. And we had lots of cheese too.

And everybody laughed for so long I went into the kitchen to have a nice nap on my comfy rug. Ha.

Then everybody went home.

So we made everything neat and tidy so we could go right away to our comfy beds. That is good. 

My far away friends Maisie and Gracie and Barnaby and went to their own make them beautiful store. 

Altogether. Ha. 

Now they are not even too furry anymore. 

I am going to my make me beautiful store very soon.

Craig says I am always beautiful. Ha. Good for me.

He says all the ladies in our house are beautiful. That is true.

Even Niamh got up. At lunchtime. She did not have any classes at her university today.

Because it is a holiday day today. That is good. 

When the digger was all finished there was a giant hole. Right in my own front yard. 

I cannot see out my watching window. 

Because there is a mountain there. Instead of my sidewalk. Oh dear. Oh dear. 

When all the men were gone Zita and Niamh went to practice driving. In the black go fast car.

I stayed here to mind Craig and the giant hole. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Six

Everybody had a nice sleep in today. Except Craig. He had a very big sleep in. 

Zita and I took Professor Jill and the little dog on our good morning to everybody walk.

It was a beautiful not so very warm day today. 

So Zita had her toasty warm jacket today. So she was not all too cold today. I was not cold.

Because I am very furry. Zita says I need to go to my make my make me beautiful store.

There were lots and lots of people walking all around my neighbourhood.

Because it is the say thank you for everything holiday.

And everybody is here to visit their own family for their own special giant dinner party. Ha.

We are having our special delicious dinner party tonight. Ha.

Mister Lyndon and Miss Bruna and Lee and Cara are going to have their dinner here.

With us. And Mister Paul too. But not my friend Emmet. 

Because he is still in way far away Cork.

Writing even more stories. At his very old university. 

They do not have a thank you for everything holiday there. 

Maybe because they do not have any turkeys at all in way far away Ireland. 

Just lots of too many sheep. Too bad for them. 

After lunchtime Niamh and Zita went to the very tasty food store. To get even more delicious food.

For the special for our friends dinner tonight.

We have lots of tasty from far away cheese. 

I saw some of it. On the dining room table. Ha.

That means we are going to have a cheese party tonight. Ha.

Cheese parties are my favourite. It is known. 

Niamh and Lee were very busy in the kitchen. Making delicious salads. 

With green beans. Ha. Green beans are my favourite. Ha. 

Craig and Zita went for a nice walk in the beautiful sunshine this afternoon.

I stayed here to mind all the tasty cheese and the green beans. And Niamh and Lee too. Good for me. 

And when they got home Zita and I went for our before lovely walk.

Before all the guests came to eat all the cheese. Ha.

Doctor Susan came to visit us when we got home. 

But she cannot come to our house for dinner.

Because her mother and father came here from way far away England. 

To have a tasty altogether dinner here. That is nice. 

I will be very busy tonight.

Because I have to mind everybody and the cheese and the very delicious ham too. That is my favourite job.

And we will have pumpkin pies. With very fat cream. Or maybe ice cream. Ha.

Because it is our special thank you for everything dinner. 

We will not watch detectives tonight.

Because we will be too busy at our special delicious dinner. Ha. 

Then we will be too tired and we will go to fast asleep in our comfy beds. It is known.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Five

We got up early today. 

But not way too early today. Ha.

And when Craig got up he wished me a Happy Birthday.

Because today is my own Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha. And I forgot.

Because I am now getting nearly old. And when you are old you forget things.

Craig’s mother alway forgets that I am a lady dog. Because she is very very old. Ha.

Craig is just all full of grey hair because he is old. And now I have some grey too. Ha.

Just like Craig. 

That is how I know I am getting nearly old too. Ha. Good for us. 

I will get special treats for my dinner tonight. 

I always get special treats on my Sing Happy Birthday day. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita drove Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. But not at way too early. 

And when she was home we went for our breakfast walk. 

But we did not go for a long walk today.

Because it was too cold outside. And Zita did not have her toasty warm jacket on. Or her gloves.

So we came home. Where is is all nice and warm.

Craig went to his old friends breakfast with Mister Paul. 

But it is a different new restaurant. Oh dear.

We thought that maybe they would get all lost and I would have to find them. Ha.

But they did not get very lost. Oh well. Maybe next time. 

When Craig got home we talked to my friend Emmet. 

We could see him too. Right on Zita’s computer. Ha. In his very little apartment. In way far away Cork. 

He said happy birthday to me too. 

He did not forget it was my Happy Birthday day. He is not so old.

And Zita got a giant ham for our special Thanks a lot for Everything dinner.

We did not get a turkey this time. We do not have so many turkeys anymore. 

Because Uncle Bill is not here to catch them now. Oh well. 

Maybe they all went to way way far away Heaven to keep him company. Maybe.

Uncle Bill never caught even one turkey. Maybe that is why they keep him company. 

I do not know when we will have our special dinner. Maybe it is a secret dinner. Maybe.

After lunchtime Zita was very busy making blinds fit the windows. All by herself. 

With her special only for her scissors. And glue. 

I could not help. Because dogs are not so good with glue. Oh well. 

So I kept my old friend Craig company. In the den. He was just watching the hockey game. 

So I had a very nice nap. On the very comfy rug. So I could mind Craig. Ha. That is a good job. 

We will have all together nice dinner tonight.

When Zita brought Niamh home they were very busy in the kitchen. Making very tasty food.

Maybe for our special thank you dinner. Or maybe just for right now. Ha.

When everything tasty was in the oven Zita and I went for our before dinner walk. But not too far.

Because it was just all the time Irish rain all over. So we did not go all over everywhere today.

At dinnertime Craig and Zita and Niamh sang the Happy Birthday song. Just for me. That is right.

That is my favourite song. I alway bark when I hear that song. Ha. Good for me. 

And I got lots of very tasty chicken. For my Sing Happy Birthday dinnertime. Ha. Good for us. 

After dinner we will watch the detective programs. 

Last night we watched a new detective program last night. And one of the detectives had very big dogs. 

And one of the brave dogs saved everybody. He bit the nasty man all over. Ha. Good for him.

That was a good program 

Maybe we will watch those detectives again tonight. That is a good idea.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Four

We had a very busy day today. 

It was another get up too early in the morning day. 

But I had a very early in the morning breakfast.

Because I was very hungry. I did not have so much to eat yesterday. 

Because of my a bit too sick tummy. But I am all better now. Ha.

The black go fast car drove Niamh downtown as fast as could be. 

So she could wake up the beautiful clothes store.

When Zita was back home we went for our good morning walk. In the beautiful sunshine.

But all our trees are not green anymore. 

They are just all different colours. 

Then Zita took all the curtains off the walls. Oh dear.

And she took some of them downstairs. And put them in the washing the clothes machine. 

But some others were so dirty she cleaned them all up on our patio. With the hose. 

And then she washed all the windows. On a ladder. On the outside of our own house. 

I could not be a big help. 

I might just fall off the ladder. 

I am not so good on ladders. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Sometimes I make our watching windows a little bit too messy. 

Maybe because of my nose. Oh well. 

After my lunchtime Craig and Zita went for a have an adventure walk. 

And to see all the beautiful colours in the trees.

Craig has brand new from way far away Ireland gloves. For pushing the go fast chair. Ha. 

They are the gloves for hitting the little ball very hard with a stick game. 

Sometimes they even hit the people too. And not even by mistake. Oh dear. 

It is an only in way far away Ireland game. That is good. 

And they went to our Centre Building. To vote for our rascal.

Because today is the you can vote early day. 

In case it is way too rainy on the real vote for rascals day. Or if you have a very sick tummy day.

Then they went to Zita’s friend’s delicious only for lunchtime snacks restaurant. 

That is a nice restaurant. 

So I minded the house all by myself. Ha. It is my best job.

When they were home Zita rode her not so fast bicycle to the make your bicycle nearly new store.

And then she walked all the way home. 

Because it was a beautiful day for just walking outside. 

With the sky as full of blue as could be.

I could not go.

Because there is not enough room for me on the not so very fast bicycle. Too bad for us.

And I had to mind Craig. So he would not be too lonely. All by himself. Ha.

But when she got home she was not even tired so we went for our before dinner walk. 

Before it was just as dark as can be outside. Ha. That is good.

I do not like to walk in the way too dark.

Because of there maybe wolves hiding in the bushes. When you cannot see them. 

That is not so nice for walking. It is known.

Pretty soon we will have the Thank You for All our Everythings dinner. That is a good dinner. 

Sometimes we even have tasty pie too.  

And sometimes lots of friends come to have dinner with us. 

Because having lovely friends is something to say thank you for. It is known. And pie too. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Three

It was a get up too early day today. Except for Craig. He had a sleep in.

We went to bed early last night. Because of Zita’s wrong clock. 

So this morning Zita drove Niamh downtown so she could wake up the beautiful clothes store. 

And when Zita was home we went for our before breakfast walk. 

I only had a little breakfast this morning. 

Because yesterday I had a sick tummy. For a long time. Too bad for me.

Then Zita and I sat in the living room and looked at everybody out my watching window.

But Craig was still asleep so Zita and I went for another lovely walk. 

Two good morning walks for us. Ha.

So we went to the hardware store. On the busy street. 

Because Zita is going to paint the wall in Niamh’s old upstairs bedroom. Ha. 

When we got home Craig was all awake as could be. So we had our together toasts.

But I could only have a tiny toast. 

Because of that sick tummy. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

This afternoon Niamh is going to see her nice doctor about her too sore feet. 

It is good to have a lovely doctor.

My doctor Weller is a very nice doctor too. That is good. 

After lunchtime Zita went to the delicious food store. So we can have delicious food for our dinners.

When she came home she was making things in the kitchen. 

Tasty food without any meat. Oh dear. 

So I had a nice nap right on my comfy kitchen rug. So I could be a big help. 

Maybe there will be tasty green beans. Maybe.

Today is eat porridge day for the whole world. 

Not only for just Scotland. And Craig too. That is a silly day.

They should have the tasty cheese treats for dogs day. That is a good day. Ha.

Maybe we will have an altogether dinner tonight. That would be nice.

Craig and I played catch the ball this afternoon.

Then Zita brought Niamh back from her nice doctor. So she did not have to take the smelly bus home.

Then because it is a very beautiful day outside we went for another walk. 

Our before dinnertime long  walk. Good for us.

We had a nice altogether dinner tonight. Ha. Good for us.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Two

My friend Zita got home last night. Ha.

The aeroplane did not get even a bit lost. Ha. That is good.

I was very happy. It is known.

And she brought back presents. From Emmet’s far away university. 

A very warm sweater from that university for Niamh. With writing on it.

And books with of pictures of Emmet’s university. And Irishman’s porridge for Craig. That that is silly. 

Only Scotsmen eat porridge. And Craig. Ha. Too bad for him.

Then everybody went to bed early.

Because of the wrong clocks in far away Dublin. 

But Niamh did not go to fast asleep.

Because she had to finish writing her brand new story. For her nice university. 

Until very late last night.

But I did not mind her last night.

Because I had to mind my friend Zita. It is my job. 

This morning Zita and I have a very nice long walk. 

Because it is a very beautiful day outside today.

But then I had a sick tummy. Three times. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

But I had delicious chicken and not very delicious rice for my lunchtime. Oh well.

Mister Charles is going to come to our house and fix Emmet’s basement wall all up.

Before he comes back home. I do not know when he comes home. Nobody told me. Oh well.

But not right away. Maybe for Merry Christmas time. Ha. 

Craig said Mister Charles and his friends will have very noisy machines. Oh dear me.

I do not like noisy machines so much. Oh dear.

When I went out to my side yard my beautiful flowers were all gone. Oh dear. 

I did not like that so much. 

Because after the lovely flowers everywhere are gone then there is the too much snow everywhere. Oh dear.

Even my giant beautiful sunshine flower fell down. Oh dear me. 

That makes me a little sad. Oh well.

Zita drove Niamh to her nice university. To watch a movie. A no colour at all movie. 

Because it is a very old movie. Before there was colour everywhere. Oh dear. That is silly.

Maybe there was only black and white everywhere. 

That is all right because I am black. Ha. Good for me.

Zita did not go to the rascal ladies office today.

Because she is having her own vacation. That is good. 

She is going to take her not so fast bicycle to the fix your bicycle store.

Maybe it will be a nearly fast bicycle when it comes back. Maybe.

Zita and sat outside in our side yard this afternoon. To have a relaxing time. 

And because of my sick tummy.

Maybe we will watch some detectives tonight.

Because my friend Zita is back home. That is good.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty One

It was a get up early in the morning for me and Niamh today.

Because it was an open all up the beautiful clothes store day today.

I minded Niamh nearly all night. Downstairs in her big bedroom. 

She was busy writing her big new story. Even until past my bedtime. Oh dear. 

I have my own pillows. And a special duvet too.  Downstairs in Niamh’s bedroom. Ha.

I minded Craig after Niamh went to downtown. But we did not have a sleep in. Oh well.

So we had another fat cinnamon finger for our together breakfast instead. 

Very early this morning my friend Zita sent us a brand new picture.

Of her do not get lost at all aeroplane. 

It was right there in way far away Dublin. Waiting for her. That was nice.

That means Zita is going to come back to our house today. Ha. That is good.

Then I will not be all in charge anymore. That is good. 

Being in charge is not so much fun. It is known.

Sometimes you have to be all fast awake very early in the morning.

To mind my friend Niamh when she says good morning to my friends the ducks. Oh well. 

Craig put all the dirty plates and coffee cups in the clean the plates machine.

So Zita will not know that he is messy. Ha. 

I am not so messy. I have just two bowls. Not as many as everybody else. Ha. Too bad for them.

Craig was busy this morning helping our nice Queen. 

But he was listening to nearly bagpipe music. 

So I had my good morning nap outside. In my side yard. 

It was a sunshiney as can be day today. And not too hot. 

That is a good day for an outside nap. Good for me.

Then my friend Zita called us on the telephone.

Because she is in not so far away Montreal. Ha.

Now she has to find another aeroplane that will only go to our aeroport. Not somewhere else. Ha.

And then Niamh came home for lunchtime and to write some more of her new story. Ha.

Universities make you very busy. Oh dear.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty

I had a nice quiet day today.

Craig and I did not get up so early today. 

And we played catch the ball even before breakfast. Ha.

We had the fat fingers again today. And Craig had two too much coffees.

Then I went downstairs to get my friend Niamh all awake. Ha. That is my favourite job. 

Then she had to watch a movie for her nice university. 

Right on her own computer. In bed. Ha. That is silly. 

So I jumped right on top of the bed too. Ha. Good for me. 

For a long long time night I minded Niamh when she was fast asleep.

Because I am in charge so I have to mind everything all the time. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

Then I went back upstairs to keep Craig company. Ha. I was very busy.

Craig and I played Tug the rope this morning. 

I did not know he knew how to play Tug. Ha. Good for him.

Zita and I play Tug before we watch the detectives. On the television. In the den.

After lunchtime Miss Tamina and her helper came to make our house spic and span.

Before Zita is all back home. Ha. That was a good idea.

So I stayed with Craig in the den. 

We were hiding from the noisy keep the house clean machines. We had a Scotsman’s cookie.

I had my own lunch when Miss Tamina was finished making my house all clean again.

You cannot have a nice lunch when the noisy machines are making lots of too much noise. It is known.

Craig and I played catch the ball after lunchtime. It was not raining then. 

Mister Paul came for a little visit this afternoon. To talk all about everything. And to have some coffee too. 

He brought very tasty brand new croissants too. Ha. I got a crunchy bit. 

Niamh and Craig were very busy this afternoon. Writing lots of everything.

I was not so busy. So I had a lovely nap in my side yard. Ha.

Maybe we will have something tasty for dinner tonight. 

When everybody is not so busy. Ha. 

Maybe we will watch more football on the television tonight. Oh well.

Day Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Nine

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

Because Zita is still in way far away and I am in charge. 

So I had to get up to mind everything. All by myself.

Then Craig got all wide awake too. To help me. Ha.

So we had our together toasts. And looked out the watching window. 

It is not so nice outside today. Lots of sometimes rain. 

There were lots of people going to the not very far away church. With umbrellas. 

I do not like umbrellas so much. 

We did not play catch the ball this morning because of the rain. That is good. 

I do not like the rain so very much. It is not very nice being all soggy as can be. 

So I had a nice nap and Craig and I listened to nice very quiet music instead.

Then Miss Georgi came upstairs so she could go to her parent’s house. And have her breakfast.

Miss Georgi slept on the other comfy bed last night.

Because when she and Niamh got home it was way late. 

And then they talked so much I went back to my comfy bed. 

So then Miss Georgi had to sleep here. 

This morning Craig was very busy reading Niamh and Emmet’s stories. So the are beautiful. 

That is his best job. 

When I looked out my watching window I saw the beautiful leafs falling onto the ground. Oh dear. 

I like it when the trees are all filled up. 

Because you do not get too cold feet when the trees are all full up. Oh well. 

Then Craig told me that my friend Zita is in way far away Dublin again. Right in her parent’s house. 

For dinner. With her mother and father and cousin Robert. 

Yesterday she had a lovely lunch with her from far away family. And our cousins Ciara, Emma and Lucy too. 

Maybe they will have the very delicious Irish sausages for their dinnertime. Maybe.

And they always have very tasty desserts too. With lots and lots of cream. Ha.

At lunchtime Niamh went on the smelly bus to the beautiful clothes store. 

She is working until late tonight. So we will not have our dinner altogether. Too bad for us.

Craig and I had our lunchtime late this afternoon then I had a long nap on the living room rug.

Right in front of my watching window. But the outside was all empty this afternoon. 

Because it is not such a beautiful day today. 

So it was a very quiet day for Craig and me. That is good. I was a bit tired.

Because I was very busy yesterday and I did not have a very long fast asleep last night. 

Because I am in charge. Ha.

Craig made his dinnertime all by himself. Ha.  And we had extra toasts too.

And Zita talked to us on Craig’s telephone. She was in the bed way upstairs in her old house.

And she was looking at some of Emmet’s stories too. Ha.  On our old flat computer. 

Right there in way far away Dublin. Ha. 

With her cosy slippers on too. Ha.

Craig is going to watch another football game tonight. 

They do not even have a nice round ball. That is a silly game.

So I will have another nap. Ha.
