Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety Eight 

We did not get up way too early this morning. 

And I minded Craig in the big bed. Until I took Zita for our good morning walk.

There was not even a bit of sunshine outside when we went for our walk.

So we did not get too hot. That is good.

Then we went to our office to do our rascal ladies work. It is hard job.

Because I have to be very quiet when Zita is meeting everybody on her other computer.

Being very very quiet is a bit very hard for me. 

But I try very hard. Zita told me so. Ha. Good for me.

I did not have toasts with Craig this morning.

Because I was way too busy helping Zita. 

Then the black go fast car took Zita and Niamh downtown. And Niamh drove the car. Ha.

And when Zita came home she had two bags full up with delicious food.

From our very delicious meat store. Up on the busy street. Even hamburgers too. Ha.

I had chicken on my lunch today. 

Because of all my very quiet work this morning. 

I saw Emmet too. He made his Irish tea and a very fat cheese sandwich. 

With the very old cheese from Mister Saint Albert’s own made cheese store. That was a good sandwich.

Then he went back downstairs to do some more writing for his giant very important story.

It was not the cut off people’s heads story for the very very old university. 

It was his other very big story. For his far away in Cork university. Ha. 

I played with my old big red ball at lunchtime. In my side yard. 

My friend Craig kept me company until Zita came home. 

Then I minded him in the living room. 


Until lunchtime was all over and I went back to my office to help Zita and the rascal ladies.

Then I had a nap right in the hall. So I could mind Craig and Zita at the same time. Ha. 


I did not have to mind Emmet.

Because he went for his long all over everywhere walk. 

So his head was not just full up to the top with his story. It is very easy to fill up your head. 

Then sometimes you forget to have your own lunch. Or to have your nice nap. 

So that is why you have to stop thinking just about the same thing all the time. 

And go for a adventure walk all by yourself. 

Or make very delicious cakes. Or pizzas.

Or go for a lovely walk with me to mind you. Ha. That is a good idea.

So when we were all finished our rascal ladies work I took Zita for our before dinner walk. 

But we did not have a long walk today.

Because it was very hot this afternoon. And we were very hot in only a little time. 

So we came back home. Where everything is nice and cool.

This afternoon Craig was watching a loud movie all about a famous battle with lots of horses. And canons.


And everybody had very big beards. Ha. 

But not the horses. Only the soldiers. 

He always watches this movie every year.

To remind everybody that our side won. Ha. That is good. 

We are having our altogether dinner tonight. Those are my favourite dinnertimes. 

Because I know right where all my family is. 

I am very happy when my own family is all with me. In my own house. It is known. 

Tonight we are having our very own tasty vegetables. 



From our own garden. In our other side yard. 

Our own lettuce and our own delicious peas. Ha. Peas are my favourite. 

Then the black go fast car took Zita to downtown to find Niamh. 

So she could have our own vegetables for dinner too.

Maybe we will watch the program with the elephants tonight. Ha. 


Monday, 29 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety Seven 

We had a very early day this morning. 

Because today Niamh did not forget to go to the fix her shoulder appointment. 

So the black car drove her to the nice university. 

Because that is where the fix you sore body people are. Ha.

And when she got home she had an early meeting with her beautiful clothes store people.  

So then she had a nice nap.

I minded Zita in our office this morning. It is my other very important job. 

Craig did not get up early this morning. 

Because he had to listen to his very interesting book. I minded him for a while. 

At lunchtime Zita and the black car went downtown to the rascal ladies office.

So she could see if some of the rascal ladies might go to work for just a bit. 

And stick how to not get sick and die pictures on all the walls. Oh dear. 

For our lunchtime Craig and I had a fat very crunchy toast. With peanut butter and honey. 

But we only had one piece.

Because it was the very heavy bread. 

So you can only have one piece. Or you might get sick. Oh dear. 

Then Miss Tarryn came to my house to have a not very close visit with Niamh. 

And Emmet has his squeaky clean shower. 

Because he is playing the dragons game tonight. With his other friends.

You always have to be nice and clean when you are with your friends. 

Even when you can only see them on the television. It is the rule.

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

But we will have delicious outside cooked chicken tonight. Chicken is my favourite. 

Maybe Emmet will have some in his comfy bedroom. Maybe. 

We watched a new program last night. 

With a man in way way far away long time ago India. And there were elephants there too. Ha. 

Elephants are my favourite. We do not have any elephants here in my own country.

Because it is way too cold for elephants. 

They would just fall down all the time on the slippy sidewalks. And hurt themselves. Oh dear.

So we have the very fierce musk oxes and scary giant polar bears instead.

Musk oxes are not even afraid of the dangerous wolves. 

Because they have very pointy horns. And sharp feet too. 



And they make a wall just of themselves. And that scares the wolves all away. Ha. 

Musk oxes are my favourite too. Ha.

Maybe we will see more elephants tonight. Maybe.

Sunday, 28 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety Six

It was sleep in Sunday and everybody had a very nice sleep in.

Even Zita and me. Ha.

When Zita was all awake the black car took her to see the nice farmers. 

And to help Profesor Jill with the bags and bags of brand new, right from here, delicious vegetables. Ha. That is good.

When she got home we had our together breakfast right in the side yard. 

We had toasts and strawberries. Just for us. 

And Zita brought my bowl of water outside. 


Because it is a warm day today. 

And you have to drink lots of water when it is all warm outside. 

Or you will just get sick. And maybe die. Maybe.

And I had a nice rest too. Ha. 



That was a very good morning. 

When Niamh was all awake she took some strawberries to Cara and Lee’s house. 

So they could have a delicious breakfast too.

Then Zita went to our other side yard. 

To make all our beautiful flowers as neat and tidy as could be. 

I stayed here to mind my friend Craig. 

It is my easy job. Not like my rascal ladies work. That is not an so easy job. 

After my lunchtime there was some loud scary thunder. So I went into our den. 

Craig came in too. To keep me company. 

It is very nice to have company when there it is a bit scary everywhere.

The black car took Zita and Niamh out to practice driving all over everywhere. 

And when they got home I took Zita for a nice walk. 

Because all the rain was gone and it was all sunny outside again. That was good.

Miss Sash got a brand new car. With very big tires. 

So at dinnertime she went to Miss Tarryn’s house to show it to everybody. That was nice. 

So Niamh went too. Ha.

It is an all black car. Just like me. Ha. That is a good car. 

Zita’s car is all black too. Ha. 

It was only Craig and Zita and Emmet and I had our dinner altogether. Oh well. 




Saturday, 27 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety Five

Zita and I did not have to get up early today. 

Because it is the do not go to work Saturday. Ha. Good for us.

Craig did not have a sleep in today.

Because it is the breakfast picnic in the park day. For Craig and his old friends.

But only Mister Paul and Mister Tom could come today. 

Miss Sandra could not be there.

Because she had to go to her little cabin. In the middle of the woods.

Because some beavers stole her dock. Oh dear. That is not all right.

Now she has to go and get it all back. 

Her dog is very small and cannot scare the beavers all away. Oh dear. Too bad for her.

This morning Zita took the very comfy old chair out of our office. 

And she put it downstairs for Emmet and Niamh. 

At lunchtime we took Professor Jill and the little dog for a nice walk. 

It was not a nice sunny day outside today. It was just a cloudy all the time day. 

But it was not too hot for a lovely walk. That is good.

Then the black car took Zita and Niamh for an adventure drive. 

And to visit Mister Saint Albert’s very delicious cheese store. And get giant cheeses. Ha. 



That was a good idea. Cheese is my favourite. 

I stayed here. In my own house. So I could mind Craig and Emmet. 

And have a nice nap in the den. Right beside Craig. That is a very easy job.

He was just reading his book. 

We will have our together dinner tonight. Maybe we will have lots of delicious cheese. Maybe.

Last night we watched the churchman detective again. 

That is a nice program. It is not even a bit too scary. That is good.


Friday, 26 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety Four

We had another get up early day today. Oh well.

Because we had to talk to another lady. On the computer. In our office. 

She wants to be a rascal lady too. So Zita had to ask her lots of questions. Oh dear.

And the old very fast bicycle took Niamh downtown. To the beautiful clothes store. Early in the morning. 

It was not hot today. And there was not so much sunshine either. Oh well.

Just lots of flat clouds. They were not even lovely sheep clouds. Oh well.

Niamh is all finished her university. But only for a little while. 

Maybe she will have another part of her not so interesting class. Maybe.

When Craig was all dressed he made Zita’s special just for meetings coffee. 

I did not have toasts with Craig today.

Because I was too busy with my rascal ladies work. 

So he had his too much coffees all by himself. Too bad for him.

Then I heard Mister Mohammad bringing us a box of brand new coffees. That is good. 

So I went to the living room to help Craig look out the watching window. Ha.



Emmet was all awake too. 

Because he is finishing his brand new story for the very very old Cambridge university. 

For their beautiful full of very interesting stories magazine.

Emmet’s story is all about cutting people’s heads right off. In long long time ago Ireland. 

They do not do that anymore. Because of the rules. That is a good rule. 

Another university is going to have a giant important meeting. But now you can only go on your computer.

Because even that not so very old university is all closed too. Oh dear.



But Emmet can go to it. On his computer. From right here. In his comfy bedroom. Maybe in his cosy bed. Ha.

Some of his friends are going to be on the computer. Telling everybody their very interesting stories. Ha.

Just like they did with Emmet. When he was in way far away Wales. Telling his story. 

So now he can hear all their stories. That is nice. 

After lunchtime I was very busy again being Zita’s own assistant. 



That is my favourite job. 

This afternoon Craig got the old music machine all taken apart. 

So he could clean the inside until it was spic and span. Oh well. 



That is not so interesting to dogs. It is known. 

Making our very delicious dinners is a lot more interesting. And tasty.

When the fast bicycle brought Niamh home she had a squeaky clean shower right away.

So she would not be all smelly. That is good.

I think we will have our dinnertime altogether tonight. 

Because we are having a big breakfast with delicious bacon for our dinnertime.

And everybody loves bacon. Especially me. Ha. That is good. 

We watched the churchman detective last night. And the churchman is brand new.

Because the other churchman got a brand new job. Far away. 

But his nice black big dog stayed. He is the church dog. 

And they needed him to mind the church. Ha. 

He is a very good dog. Just like me. But not so big and furry. Ha. 


Thursday, 25 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety Three

I had a very busy day today.

Because Zita had to talk to a lady about being a rascal lady. Before our breakfast time.

So I minded her in our office until nearly lunchtime.

Then I had round toasts with Craig. He was squeaky clean.

Because he used the brand new shower machine last night. 

Then Zita and I went on our very late good morning walk. 

We went to the other around the corner park. 

Then we went to Susan’s street. It was a very nice walk. 

Because it is not so hot again today. 

After lunchtime it was Niamh’s last remember everything exam. 

For her not so very interesting class. Oh dear. 

But she could stay right in her big comfy bedroom to write her exam. Ha.

Because her nice university is still closed up. 

Emmet still has a sore eye so her has to put old tea bags on his face. Ha. Too bad for him.

Yesterday Emmet was all upset.

Because he was listening to a man talk about some very very old dead Irish people. 

And he had not even read any of Emmet’s favourite very very old books. 

He just read some nearly new old books. 

And they were even all written in English books. 

And the books were not even written in way way old Irish. Oh dear. 

He was a very silly man. Emmet told me. So it is true. 

I minded Zita all afternoon. In our own rascal ladies office. It is my own job.

Because I am a rascal too. Craig always says I am a rascal dog. 

So that is why I am a rascal ladies very best dog assistant. Ha. 

This afternoon Craig was trying to clean an old music machine. 

In the dining room. 



So I had to mind him. So he would not drop everything on the floor.

I do not think cleaning the machines was so much fun. I did not get in the way. 

Then I minded him some more in the den. On my own favourite spot. 



Because Zita was writing an important story for the rascal ladies.

And I could not be her best assistant.

Because I cannot write. 

Because they will not let even very polite dogs go to our nice university. Too bad for me. 

That is not very fair. 

Emmet says that some very silly people go to university. And have very silly ideas. 

But they can still go to our nice university anyway. Oh dear me. 

When Zita was all finished her writing I took her for a nice before dinner walk. 

And when we got home Niamh’s remember everything exam was all finished. Ha. That is good.

We had our own altogether dinner tonight. With cooked outside hamburgers. Ha.

Sometimes the hamburgers have cheese right on top. Those are my favourite hamburgers. 

Sometimes bits fall right on to the floor. Ha. 

Because of my friend Mister Saint Newton. Ha. 

He is a good friend to dogs. It is known. 

I have brand new cheesie treats. From Italy. Ha. 

Zita got the nice man to bring them just for me. That was nice. 

Maybe we will watch the detectives tonight. 



Wednesday, 24 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety Two 

It is our do not go to work day. Ha.

So Zita and I had a lovely nice walk. It is not so very hot today. Just a little bit hot. 

When Craig was all dressed the black go fast car took Niamh to the beautiful clothes store.

So Craig and I had a by ourselves breakfast. We had the round toasts. With jam too.

And when Zita and the black car were back home Zita and I had one of our nearly a scone hamburger buns. 



All toasty with Zita’s marmalade on top. Ha.

But you have to be very polite or you cannot share Zita’s toasts. Oh dear. 

So I had a two toasts breakfast today. Ha. That was a good breakfast day. 

Then Zita had to go and find some presents for little Miss Emma.

Because Zita and Niamh are going to an outside party tonight.

Because Miss Emma is going to have a brand new sister. Or maybe even a brand new brother.

I do not know. Nobody told me. 

Maybe it is a surprise secret. Maybe. 

I got tasty chicken on top of my lunch. So it was a very delicious lunch. Ha.

Then I minded Craig in the den. He was reading his book. 


I had a nap. For a little while.

Then the nice man brought us boxes and boxes of food. 


For our dinners.

So now we will not have to eat just Scotsmen’s porridge until we starve all away. That is good. 

I helped Zita put all the lots of food away. 



So we can find it when we are all very hungry. That was a easy job. 

There was noisy bagpipe music everywhere this afternoon.

Because there was a man playing his own bagpipe down the other street.

Right in my neighbourhood. 


I do not know why.

Maybe he only has a nice quiet house. Maybe.

Craig got a brand new make your body all wet machine for our bathtub. 

Because the old one was not so very good. 

Now you can stand right up as straight as can be. 

And still get all wet all over everywhere. Even Emmet. Ha. 

We did not have our together dinner tonight 

Because Zita and Niamh had to go to the party. And Emmet was playing his dragons game. 

So Craig and I had our together dinner in the den. 

We had little rolls from China. Ha. They are my favourite too.

We did not have enough time to watch the detectives tonight.

Because it was Craig’s have a squeaky clean shower night. 

With the brand new shower machine. Ha. 


Tuesday, 23 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety One

We had a nice quiet day today.

Zita and I went for our very nice before it was too hot walk.

Then Zita looked at Niamh’s little new story before we went to our office.

For our rascal ladies work. I am the very best assistant dog ever. Zita said so.

When Craig was all awake he looked at the little new story too.

Then we had our together toasts. 

But we only had one toast today. The other one way way too toasty. Too bad for me. 

When we were finished I went back to my important work. 

Then Zita and the go fast car drove Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. 

But it is not even a bit all full up store now. 

Because of the do not get anybody all sick rules.

When Zita was all back home she talked to people on the telephone. Right from our side yard.

 I minded her after Craig and I had a very fat peanut butter and honey sandwich.

I did not stay outside so long. I was too hot. So I had a nice nap.

But then the present man woke me up. 


And it was a present for me. And it was not even a secret present.

It was a just because present. Ha.

A was a brand new big red ball. 



Just for me. Ha. 

Then Craig and I went into the side yard.

Because the big red ball is an outside ball only. It is the rule. 

But it was too hot again so I went back in to help Zita.

Before the black car took her downtown to find my friend Niamh.

We had irish chicken for our altogether dinner tonight.

Because we are altogether. Ha. Together is my favourite word. 

And cheese treats. 

And it is bed time. 

They are good words too.

But I had some of our delicious chicken. Even before dinnertime. 

I think we will watch the detectives tonight. 

It is a read the words on the television detective program. 

Because they are far away detectives.

Monday, 22 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety 

Zita and I got up early so the way too hot could not get us all sticky hot. Ha.

So we had a very nice slow walk all over. 

Then we came home and the too hot did not even catch us once. Good for us.

Craig had a little sleep in. 

So he could listen his book all about an old king. 

Then he got up. So he could have his too much coffees.

But he forgot to make Zita special just for meetings coffee today. Oh dear.

And Niamh forget her fix her shoulder appointment this morning. It is a forgetful day. Oh dear.

Then when Zita was all finished her on the computer meeting we had some more coffees.

And we had brand new own made scones. With jam.

They were going to be own made hamburger buns but Zita made them wrong.

So now they are very delicious toasty scones. Ha. That was a good idea.

After lunchtime I had a very nice nap. Right beside the side door. 

Where the cold air come out of the floor. That is a comfy place to have a nap. 

Craig and Zita went for only a little adventure walk today. Because of the too hot.

But then it was all windy and rainy. But only for a little while. It is silly weather. 

Last night we had the special dinner for fathers. 

We had very tasty own made very fat delicious hamburgers. And Mister Kettleman’s giant pickles.

And then Craig got secret presents from everyone. Even me too. Ha. That is good.

He got lots of special things for his squeaky clean showers. And beautiful soft skin. 

And I got him a brand new special keep it hot coffee cup for his Saturday morning picnics.

And it has pictures of dogs all over it. Ha. 



That is a very good cup.

But my friend Emmet wrapped the secret presents in the dirty clothes box. 


I do not know why. 

He is very silly.

After our work Zita and I were going to go to for a very little walk. But we came right home. 

Because of the very scary and loud thunder. Right outside my house.

Emmet has a sore eye and had to put a warm cloth right on it. Oh dear.

We had a very nice altogether dinner tonight. Tasty pasta for everybody. Ha.

We will watch the new detectives on the television again. Ha.




Sunday, 21 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Nine

It is sleep in Sunday but Zita only had a very little sleep in.

Because we had to go for our good morning walk before it was way too hot again.



So we went to our other little park and had a slow walk all over. 

And then we sat in our side yard. But only in the shade.


When Craig was fast awake the go fast car took Zita up to the busy street.

Because professor Jill got so much delicious food from the nice farmers that she could not bring it home on her bicycle. 

So Zita brought all our food home to our house. 

Then we had a very lovely together breakfast. Outside in our side yard. 



We had brand new from right here strawberries. 

Emmet was still fast asleep so he did not eat them all up. Just by himself. Ha.

Strawberries are Emmet’s favourite. It is known. 

Today is the for everybody’s Father’s Day. 

So we said have a happy day to my friend Craig. 

Because he is the only father in our house. Ha. 

Then Zita talked to her father in Dublin. On the telephone. And then Niamh and Emmet talked too. 

Then everybody had to go and do their own work. 

Niamh is writing her remember everything exam right here in our house. 

And Emmet is playing his game with friends from all over everywhere. 

He is not writing his giant paper today. That is good.

But Zita had to go for another rascal ladies meeting. Even on our sleep in Sunday. Oh dear.

Craig and I looked out the watching window. It was too hot to even have a nice outside nap. Oh dear me. 

Some birds had nice cool baths in out outside bathtub just for little birds. Ha. 

Because even little birds get too hot sometimes. Just like me. Ha. 

We only went outside sometimes today.

Because of the way too hot.

So I stayed in the den so I could mind my friend Craig. 


It is his own special day. Ha. Good for him. 

We are going to have cooked outside hamburgers for our special altogether dinner tonight. Ha. 

I helped Zita in the kitchen. 

The floor in the kitchen is nearly stone so it is nice and cool in the too hot. That is nice.

Because that is where my own comfy have a nap rug is. Ha. Good for me.

Before went on our before dinnertime walk Zita filled the bathtub up to the top. 


For all the way too hot birds.

Then we went to doctor Susan’s house. 

To bring her some of our very delicious strawberries. In a big bag.



Because we had too many. 

We did not stay for a long time talk. 


We came home right away so we would not melt all away.

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





Saturday, 20 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Eight

It is a way too hot day today. 

So Zita and I had our little slow walk to the park before it was too hot. Good for us.

Then Mister Paul came to house house. But he did not stay.

Because Craig and Paul went to our pond park for their old friends breakfast picnic.

Right there. Underneath the giant shady trees. 

Mister Robert, and Mister Tom and Miss Sandra were there too. Ha. 

But they did not stay there for a long time. Only until before lunchtime.

Because of the way too hot.

After Craig and Paul left it was time to make the house spic and span again. Too bad for me.

So Zita had the very noisy clean the floor machine on for a long time. 

And I could not go and hide in the side yard. 

I like going out into my side yard. It is my favourite place. 

But Zita said that it is way too hot for me today. 



So I had to stay inside. 

And no matter how many times I asked to go outside. I had to stay inside. Too bad for me.

And when Craig came home he went in the den.

So he could sit beside the windy cold air. He was too hot.

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

But it is not too hot there. Just too rainy. Too bad for them.

Emmet and Niamh were very busy with work for their universities. Even on a Saturday. Oh dear. 

Today we have the the biggest daytime. And the smallest nighttime. The television said so. I do not know why.

Maybe it is just like all the wrong clocks in way far away Ireland. 

Or maybe it is a secret. Maybe. Oh well.

Zita had to use the very noisy blow everything everywhere machine in my side yard.

I could not be a big help. And I got in trouble. 

Because of some too much barking. Oh well.

Miss Tarryn came to do some of her studying in our basement.

Because her house does not have a make it cool machine. Oh dear.

Before dinnertime Zita made a big chocolate cheesie cake. Ha. 

That is Emmet’s very favourite dinner dessert. Maybe we will have it tonight. 

The present man brought me my brand new giant bag full of my tasty food. Ha.

But it is too big for upstairs.



So Zita puts it in my own just for me food box. 

Then Craig can put it right in my bowl. When I remind him. Ha. 

We watched all the detectives from way way old Dublin last night. 

And the detective was from Cork. But we could not understand him.

Zita said it was because he was from Cork. Oh well. 

I did not see Zita’s Mother anywhere. 

Maybe she was in her garden. With her tasty vegetables. Not on the television. Maybe.

She is not from Cork. 

When Emmet is in Ireland he is from Cork. 

But everybody can understand Emmet. 

Maybe he has a different Cork. Maybe. Oh well.

But now we have to find a new detective now. 

Maybe one without lots and lots of just all dead people. That is a good idea. 

A nice man brought us a very big bag full right up with Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagels. 

And the very special own made just for bagels cheese. And giant pickles. 

All for our dinner tonight. Ha. 

It is good we know Mister Kettleman’s store. 







Friday, 19 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Seven

We did not get up early today.

Because Zita had a little bit of a sick tummy last night. 

So I slept right beside her feet on the big bed. So I could mind her. Until I got too hot. 

Then I slept on my comfy bed. Right beside her. 

So we we did not go on our good morning walk until nearly lunchtime. 

We just stayed in our side yard. In the beautiful sunshine.

And Zita read Niamh’s new story before we had to go to our own office. 

When Craig had his coffees outside I went out to mind him. 

Then I was too hot so I went back inside to help Zita. 

Then Craig read Niamh’s story too. So it would be beautiful.

Niamh has a do it at home remember everything exam today. 

But it does not have to be finished today. That is good.

Then Zita and I went for a very little slow walk to our little park. 


When we came home Craig and I had some together toasts. Ha. 

Zita took lots and lots of very important papers to our pond park. 

So she could sit underneath the very big trees, beside the beautiful pond and read them. 



Far away from her too many computers. 

I stayed in the house to mind Craig and Emmet. Where it is nice and cool all the time. Ha.

Emmet is still reading lots and lots of very very old stories. And talking to his professor.

His professor is at his own house. With his own family. In way far away London. 

He lives right in front of a giant park all full of deers. 



It is our nice Queen’s own park. Ha. 

I did not know our nice Queen had lots of deers who lived in way far away England. 

Nobody told me. Oh well. 

After lunchtime Craig went outside to our side yard to read his book. 

I kept him company for only a little while until I was too hot. 

So I went inside again. To help Zita. 

We went to have a far away visit with doctor Susan for our before dinner walk. 

It is not so far away.

So we did not melt away. That is good.

For our dinner we had the giant chips from far away Mexico.

The ones all covered with cheese and vegetables. Ha. 

I always get some for my own bowl. Ha. 

Zita and Niamh and I made them. 


We are very good together cooks. Ha. 

But it was not a together dinner.

Because Emmet was playing his game with his friends from all over everywhere. 

The ones with all the wrong clocks. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

Maybe we will watch the detective in long time ago Dublin tonight. Maybe.


Thursday, 18 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Six

Zita and I got up early this morning. And we went on a lovely walk.

Before it got way too hot for lovely walks. Ha.

And we found a beautiful Poppy flower. Right in our garden. Ha.



Lots and lots of Poppys grow right in Flanders. 

Right where there were giant long time ago wars. Oh dear me. 

And that is where all the Bouviers came from. But a long time ago. 

That is why I am a Miss Poppy. Ha. 

Because I am beautiful just like all of the beautiful poppies. That was a good idea.

But then the black go fast car had to take Zita downtown. The the old rascal ladies office. 

So she could look at all the offices. 

Because of all the new when you go back to work rules. Oh dear.

When Zita was downtown Niamh was all awake too.

So she had her good morning coffee with Cara. 

Before she had to do more writing for her last brand new story.

And Craig did not have a nice sleep in either. Oh well.

But we had the cheesie round toasts for our tasty together breakfast. And with the special jam too.

When Zita came home we went to our rascal ladies office. Right in our own house. Ha.

So we could do lots more rascal ladies work.

Then Zita had her squeaky clean shower. I had a very nice nap in our office.

Emmet said they had a very good dragons game last night. Everybody laughed all the time.

And Tara got some writing on her arm. 


It is from a very famous Irish book.

But it is not one of Emmet’s way way old Irish books. That nobody can read. 

Except Emmet and his friends at the all over everywhere old universities. Oh well.

At lunchtime Zita and I had to stop looking at the too many computers all the time.

So Zita went to look at our garden and our beautiful flowers. 



I went with her. 

So I could be her best minder friend. 

And to see our own brand new tasty vegetables too. Ha.

After lunchtime mister Paul came to visit us. 

So he and Craig sat in my side yard and talked. For a long time. I did not mind them.

Because it was way too hot outside. Especially if you are a bit too furry. Oh well.

We will have a nice dinner tonight. Maybe an altogether dinner.

But after dinner Zita had to go to an outside meeting. 

For the rascal ladies. Even in the way too hot. Oh dear.

We watched a new detective program last night. And it is in long long time ago Dublin. Ha.

Maybe we will see Zita’s mother and father. Maybe 

But it is about a man taking pictures of just dead people. Oh dear. That is not such a nice job.

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Five

Today is the do not go to work day for Zita and me. Ha.

But we did not have a sleep in and either did Craig.

So when Zita and I came back from our little walk we had our together toasts in my side yard. Ha.

Then I played with my big red ball. 



But now there is a big hole in it. And it will not roll anywhere anymore. Oh dear. 

When we were all finished our together breakfast a man came to my house.

He came to see if he could make the bathroom better for the go fast chair. That is a good idea.

Niamh is still busy writing her big giant story. Because it is nearly the end of her classes.

She was very busy. In the side yard. So I minded her.

After lunchtime my friend Emmet went to see Doctor Don. 

He is our very nice dentist. Up on the busy street. 

Zita was very busy in the basement. Making lots of important noises. Ha. I do not know why.

I can not go downstairs anymore.

Because sometimes my leg is too sore to go back up scary stairs. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

This afternoon Craig moved the black music machines. Again. 


So he could talk to them. And then they will play all different music. That is silly.

It is the dragons game night tonight for Emmet and Niamh. 

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

Zita and I went for a very little slow early before dinnertime walk.

Because we did not want to be just two melted puddles on the sidewalk. 

Then Zita went to visit another brand new trees store. To look at lots of different beautiful trees.

So we can have some lovely trees.

When the man has to take away our poor all broken by the too much wind trees. Too bad for them.

We are going to have cooked right outside in my side yard chicken for our dinner. Ha. 

Chicken is my favourite too. And cheese. And green beans. Ha. Good for me.

We watched all the not very far away from us detectives last night. 

So we will have to find some brand a brand new detective program. Ha. 

Maybe there will be a big fierce dog helper in it. Just like me. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Four

It was another as beautiful as could be day. All day.

So Zita and I went for a very nice walk in the full of sunshine day.

And there was not even one sheep cloud in the sky. It was just all blue forever.

So Niamh’s friend Mister Shadow must have been up very early this morning. 

Chasing them all back to the sheeps house. Ha. I think it is his favourite job. 

It is nice to have a favourite job. Even in way way far away Heaven.

Then Zita and I went to work in our office. 

Craig had a very little sleep in this morning. But I did not mind him on the comfy bed.

Because I was too busy helping Zita. 

When he was all awake we had cheesie round toasts for our breakfast.

We did not know there were cheesie round toasts. Ha.

That was a very good tasty invention. 

I love cheeses. Especially the lovely smelly cheese. 

Mister Nicastro’s store has lots of from far away smelly cheeses.

We always have them for our Merry Christmas time parties. 

With all the Mahoneys. They love cheese too.

Cheeses are my favourite treat. It is known.

When we were all finished I went back to my helping Zita with our job.

Yesterday the very nice present man told me his name. He is Mister Mohammad. 

Craig told him that I was Miss Poppy and I was his own very best friend. Ha. That is true.

Mister Mohammad brought me my own present. A brand new Kong toy.

It is a giant one. Not a way too little one. Ha. That is good.

And then Mister Charles came to look a Emmet’s window this morning. 

I fierce barked at him. Because I forgot I knew him. Oh dear. 

He is going to finish fixing our patio so water does not go into our basement. Ha. That is a good idea. 

At our lunchtime the black go fast car took Niamh to her beautiful clothes store. 

But there are only four of her friends working there. And they can only work together. Not with any one else. 

The beautiful clothes store has it’s very own rules so nobody will get all sick. 

And my friend Emmet told his professor that he was reading an interesting very very long book.

And now he has to read it all. 

Because his professor thinks it is a very interesting book too. Oh dear. Too bad for Emmet.

I got pie bits on my breakfast today. They are very tasty. 

Professor Jill went up to the food store. On her bicycle. 

And she brought up more bread for toasts. Ha.

Craig had a very late lunchtime today. I do not know why. 

I had to leave our office and go outside to our very sunny our side yard. 

So I could help him eat his two little peanut butter and honey sandwiches. 



And he had a cold drink too. Because it was nearly too hot outside.

I sat in the cool shade. 



Or I would get way too hot. And just melt all away. 

Then Craig was too hot too. So we went back inside.

But Zita needed my help so Craig had to look out the watching window all by himself. Oh well.

We are going to have own made pizzas tonight. Own made pizzas are my favourite. 

But we cannot have an altogether dinner.

Because tonight Emmet is playing his dragons game with his other friends. Oh well.

Before dinnertime the go fast car took took Zita downtown to find Niamh and bring her home.

It is too hot to drive the old very fast bicycle. 

And the go fast car has its very own make everything nice and cool machine. 



Right inside the car. You just have to turn the big buttons. And then everybody is all cool as can be. Ha. 

When Niamh got home she went for a before dinner by herself run all around. I do not know why. 

Then she had to have her squeaky clean shower. 

You have to have showers when you come home from the beautiful clothes store. Every day. It is the rule.

We will watch the not very far away detectives again tonight. It is not so hot there. 

Because there is lots and lots of very cold snow in that program. Oh dear.

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Three

We had a nearly quiet day today.

My friend Niamh had to get up very very early to go to see the nice man who fixes her shoulder.

The go very fast bicycle took her. Right to her nice university. 

Because that is where the fix your sore body all up office is. Ha.

So then I minded Zita in our office.


Craig had a nice sleep in today.

Last night he had a squeaky clean shower. 

Because his not so very good shoulder will not fall off anymore. That is nice.

I was a big help. I stayed right in the den. And did not get in the way at all. Good for me. 

So when he went to the comfy big bed he had a bedtime toast and I got some too. Ha. 

Bedtime toasts are my favourite toasts. It is known. 

This morning when he was all awake we had another toast. But only a little one. 

Then we went outside to my side yard. 



The side yard is my very favourite place. In the summertime. 

So I had a very nice nap and Craig kept me company. That is nice.

We had two little toasts for our lunchtime. But with the delicious jam. That is a good lunchtime.

Niamh is very busy today writing another brand new story. 

And Emmet is still reading all the very very old stories. From Ireland. 

All about very brave long long time ago people. Maybe they had fierce dogs too.

Like his friend Mister Cú Chulainn. Ha. 

This afternoon the very nice present man brought us a present. 



So I guarded it. Right in our own side yard. 

Then another man came to my own side yard. 

He came to clean the make the house lovely and cool machine. 

I only barked at him for a little while. Good for me.

Then I went back to work in our rascal ladies office. It is my best job. Ha.

And when we were all finished I took Zita and Professor Jill for our little before dinner walk. 

And then I was a big help making our delicious dinner. Ha. Good for me. 

We had an altogether dinner again. That is a good dinnertime. 

Last night we watched a new detective program. 

And the detectives are from a little city not even very far away from our city. 

And it is in the very cold wintertime. Oh dear. 

I have to wear my boots in the way too cold. I do not like that so much. 

Sunday, 14 June 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Two

Today is sleep in Sunday. 

But we did not have have even a little sleep in.

Because it was a very beautiful all the time day outside. 

So we went for a very long all over everywhere slow walk. 

Then Zita went for her by herself run. 

When she came home Craig and Zita and I had our breakfast outside. 

In my side yard. Ha. 

And I chewed my big red ball. 

But now it is not round anymore. It is just a bit all squished up.

So Zita says I need a brand new big red ball. That is a good idea.

Maybe Craig can ask our nice present man to bring me a new big ball. 

Then Zita had a squeaky clean shower.

And Professor Jill went up to the busy street to visit her farmer friends. 

And she brought us very very brand new vegetables.

And even brand new from right here giant strawberries for Emmet.

Zita had to go for a rascal ladies important meeting on the computer this morning.

Right before lunchtime. Oh dear.

Sleep in Sunday’s are not days for meetings. Oh dear. 

So I did not go. Ha. Too bad for them. 

I went outside to my own side yard.

Because Niamh was all wide awake and was drinking her icy cold coffees. Outside.

And she was reading her stories for her university class.

So I minded her. All by myself.


Then Miss Georgi came for a not so close visit. From Toronto. Ha. 

And they went for a not very close walk. To somewhere. They did not tell me. Oh well. 

But then Zita and I went to visit our beautiful garden. In our other side yard. 



It is full of flowers. And some carrots too. 

Maybe there are delicious green beans too. Ha.

Then we just sat on the garden wall and watched everything. 

It is a made all of stones wall. Just like a castle. But not so big. Oh well. 

Then I minded the house when Craig and Zita went for a very long adventure walk.

They were too hot when they got home. I was not even a bit hot. 

Because I was in our very cool house. With Emmet. 

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. That will be nice. 

I helped Zita make the very tasty dinner. It is my best easy job. Ha.

Because I always get tasty bits for being a big help. Good for me.
