Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty

Zita and I had a little sleep in today. Ha. That was nice.

So we did not have time for a very nice good morning walk.

And Zita could not have her run all around.

Because it was go to work Monday. 

Craig made her the special fluffy coffee before her had his coffees.

I did not help him look out the watching window this morning.

Because I was way too busy helping Zita and all the rascal ladies. 

But he had a tasty croissant with his later another coffee. So I helped him then.

Last night there were lots of very smelly skunks right around my own house. Oh dear.

I do not know why they always come to my street. 

I could see them. Right from my watching window. 

But Zita could not see them. Too bad for her.

Zita went for a lunchtime walk in the beautiful outside. 

It is alway nice to go for a little walk after watching lots and lots of meetings. 

So your head is not only full of too long meetings. 

But I did not want to go. I was a bit sore this morning. 

So Craig gave me some of my own do not be too sore medicine.  

Then just looked out my own window. Until Zita came home.

Then we went back to our important work. Good for us.

Emmet was very busy this morning. 

Because he had to give his way far away in Cork university lots of money.

And they are not even all open. That is not all right. 

And all his own Professors are not even there. Oh dear.

My friend Niamh came home today. After lunchtime. Miss Tara brought her home.

From the beautiful cottage right on the very big lake. 

Because tomorrow is a go to work day for Niamh. Oh well. Too bad for her.

When she was all back home she went right away to downstairs. To have a big nap.

Because they stayed up too late at night at the cottage. 

And ate everything all the time. Oh dear.

After I had my tasty first dinner I took Zita for a long before dinner walk. 

And it was still a beautiful day outside. Good for us.

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. If my friend Niamh is all awake. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Nine

It was our sleep in Sunday so Zita and I had a sleep in.

But not such a big sleep in. 

Because it was a very beautiful day outside today.

Craig stayed in the comfy bed so he could watch the fast little cars. Ha.

But Zita and I went for a lovely walk before she went up to the busy street.

That is where we get lots of delicious vegetables from all the nice farmers. 

And then Zita always drives all of Professor Jill’s vegetables back to her house. Ha.

When Zita got back home everybody was all fast awake. 

So we had our together breakfast. With toasty warm croissants. That was good.

But I was very hungry. 

Because Zita forgot all about my good morning breakfast. Oh dear.

So Craig put lots of Mister Saint Albert’s very delicious cheese on top of my lunch.

Because it was lunchtime before they remembered I had not had any of my own breakfast. Oh dear me.

Craig said it is hard to get good help anymore. I do not know why.

Zita told me I was the very best helper in the whole world. Ha. That is true.

Niamh is still at the cottage. 

But it is a nice day to be at the cottage today. Just not so very warm. They will go swimming anyway. 

After lunchtime Emmet sat outside. In our front yard.

Right on one of our bits of trees and talked to all his friends from all over everywhere. 

On his computer. 

Because it was still a beautiful day today. 

Today was the make the house as clean as could be day. 

So Craig took all the dust away from everywhere and Zita made everything else very very clean. 

And she talked to way far away in Ireland auntie Eileen too. At the same time. Ha.

Then Zita found the very noisy clean the floors machine. Oh well.

So I went outside to have a nice nap in my side yard.

When the house was squeaky clean Zita and I went for our before dinner walk. 

We found Professor Jill too. 

I think we will have a nice together dinner tonight. With just Craig and Zita and Emmet and me. 

Then we will watch the lady detectives. 

Before we go to fast asleep.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Eight

We got up early this morning but we did not go for a good morning walk.

Because it was raining way too much.

Then it stopped.

But maybe the rain was just hiding and would come back and catch us if we went outside for our walk.

So we stayed in our lovely dry house. 

Because we did not want to be all soggy.

So Zita talked to her mother on our new telephone. 

Now we have telephones everywhere in our house. Even in our office. 

Zita mother is a little bit sick. So she is having lots on nice naps. Ha. Naps are my favourite.

Craig did not go to our park with his friends for their together for coffees picnic.

Because they did not want to be all soggy either. Ha. 

Last night Tara and Mister Taylor came to our house to say hello.

And to get Niamh and Miss Tarryn and their lots and lots and lots of bags of food. 

So they could all go to the cottage and not just starve into nothing.

Mister Kirian and Mister Aidan and going to be at the cottage too. Ha.

So now Mister Kirian and Kathy can make everybody lots of very delicious food. 

We had Mister Tony’s pizza last night. I got some pizza bits. Ha.

Zita had to do rascal ladies work today. Even on a Saturday. 

Because there is going to be a very big rascal ladies from all over meeting. Oh dear. Too bad for Zita.

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

I had a very nice long quiet day today. 

Sometimes it is good to have just a lazy day. Especially when it is just a very soggy day outside.

Nobody wants to be soggy. 

Not even my friends the ducks. 

They just sit underneath the very big trees on soggy days. Good for them.

Nobody at the Mahoney’s cottage wanted to be soggy either.

So they all stayed inside so they could sing songs altogether.  Ha. That was a good idea.

I am very good singer too.

I always sing the sing happy birthday day song. That is my favourite song. Ha.

Craig and I had toasted peanut butter and honey sandwiches for our lunchtime.

Because Craig does not know how to make sandwiches without peanut butter. Oh well. 

It is good that peanut butter is my favourite. 

And lovely smelly cheese. 

And chicken. 

And green beans. 

And all frozen hard peas.

And ice cream too. But I do not get ice cream so often. Oh well. 

Zita and I went for our before dinner walk. In the rain.

I did not want to get all soggy but Zita said she needed to get out of our house.

Because of all the rascal ladies work.

So I went with her. 

Because I am her all the time fierce guarder dog. It is my best job.

We only got a bit soggy. That is good. 

Then I went into our office to guard it when Zita went to get a hang your coats up box. For free. 

Because Niamh has too many coats. 

We cannot have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because Niamh is still at the cottage singing songs. Ha.

Mister Tom brought us some more of an very interesting detective program. Ha. 

He even brought it to our house in the rain. That was nice.

Maybe we will watch it tonight. Maybe.

 

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Seven

It was a beautiful morning today.

So I took my friend Zita on a lovely good morning walk. Ha. 

When we got home we went right to work. In our office.

Craig had a little sleep in. 

So he could listen to his interesting book. All about a famous battle.

It was even in far away Franders. Right where all the Bouviers came from. Before we came here.

Maybe we were there. Being very fierce. Ha.

They made a giant hill right there. Craig showed it to me.

So everybody will remember who won the battle.

But there is a lion on top. That is not right. There were no lions there.

Just lots of cows and brave Bouviers minding them. 

So they are wrong. That is silly. Oh well. Too bad for them. Silly lions.

When Craig was all really awake he made some delicious fluffy coffees for Zita.

And Emmet was awake too. And he was very excited.

Because his way far away university gave him back the money they took away. Ha.

His own professor told everybody it was not very fair. 

So they gave him the money they promised. Ha. That is good. 

 But he still does not know when he can go back to way far away Cork.

Because of the do not get sick rules. Oh dear. Too bad for him. 

Niamh is going to the Mahoney’s cottage for lots of days. 

Because there is going to be a holiday. Ha. That is good.

Miss Tarryn is going too.

Tara is coming to our house after dinner to find them and then go right to the cottage. 

So all afternoon Niamh and Tarryn were in the kitchen. 

So they could make a very tasty special cake.

But it is a not for us cake. It is an only for the cottage cake. Oh well. Too bad for us.

Mister Ryder the dog will be there to mind Niamh. That is good. 

He is a very good minder too.

Because is a mind all the silly sheeps dog. Ha.

I was a big help in the kitchen this afternoon. So I got treats. 

And I played with my very big ball. In the side yard with Niamh.

At lunchtime Craig and Zita went for their get out of the house walk. I stayed here to guard everybody. 

They went all around the first pond. But they did not see my friends the ducks. 

I think that they stayed in the other pond today. 

When I look out my window sometimes I forget that the nearly falling down trees are gone. 

But it is very bright now. 

Zita said now we have to paint the front of our house. 

Because now everybody can see it. Oh dear me.

Dugal’s cousins slept in the living room last night. To keep Colonel Dugal company. 

And tell him the stories all about their secret adventures. Ha. 

I did not hear them. Because they are secret. And I was fast asleep on my comfy duvet. Oh well.

This afternoon Professor Alex and Miss Francis gave my friend Emmet presents. 

And it was not even his happy birthday day. Ha.

A book. All about books in a very old library. 

And a giant picture of very old writing in a way way old book. Ha. 

And they were all wrapped up in paper. 

Old words are Emmet’s favourites so he was very happy.

Niamh and Miss Tarryn went in the go fast car to get lots of delicious food to take to the cottage.

Because you cannot go to a cottage without bringing lots of tasty treats and not just yourself. It is the rule.

When our work was all over Zita and I found Professor Jill and the little dog.

So we could go on our nice walk altogether. Ha. That was a good idea.

Mister Tony’s friend is going to bring us pizzas for our dinner tonight. That is good.

Mister Tony always makes very very delicious pizzas. It is known. 

We will have to find a new detective program tonight. Oh dear me.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Six

We got up very early this morning. 

Because we had lots and lots of work to do today.

So Zita and I went for an early walk. It is not so nice outside today.

Because of some all the time little rain. 

When we got home we went right to our own office. To do our rascal ladies work. Ha.

Craig did not have a nice sleep in either. 

Because we had brand new giant croissants. Right on the counter in the kitchen.

So when he had his first too many coffees he had a toasty warm croissant too. Ha.

I helped him. Croissants are my favourite. 

Because Bouviers are from France and so are croissants. Ha.

Emmet was all awake too. He had his Irish tea with his croissant. I could not help him eat it.

Because I was too busy in our office. Oh dear. Too bad for me.

It is very bright in our living room now. And the front hall too. 

Because lots of our very big trees are all gone. And the awful squirrels are gone too. Ha. 

But we still have some very beautiful big trees. 

Right on my watching window corner. Ha. 

Those are good trees. 

Mister Paul came to visit us yesterday. So he could look at our not there anymore trees. 

And he had a surprise too. He brought our friend Colonel Dugal’s two cousins. 

Mister Sir Festis and Mister Sir Fergus of A’Chill. It is a very little island in way far away Scotland.

I did not know the Colonel had cousins. Nobody told me. 

They came from the aeroport in Toronto and Mister Paul gave them a ride in his car. Right to our house.

They have been all over everywhere, having very dangerous adventures. For our nice Queen. 

But now they are a bit tired so they have come to live with us. In my own house. Ha. 

They are not so very big. So they will not take up so much room. 

Colonel Dugal is very happy to have them here. That is good. 

They did not bring any bagpipes. That is good. 

They only have their pointy swords. And their Scotsman’s skirts. Oh dear me.

Because they had to leave their very very far away house very very quickly. 

Before anybody knew they were gone. Oh dear. That is not so nice. Oh well. 

I minded Zita all afternoon. Right under her do not sit down desk. Ha. That is my favourite place.

Then Zita drove Niamh to her downtown work. 

When she came back I was right there underneath the desk. Ha. Good for me. 

When we were all finished we went for our before dinner walk to find Professor Jill and Mister Willy. 

That was a nice walk. 

But we will not have a together dinner tonight

Because Niamh will still be at her work. Oh well.

And Emmet is playing his dragons game tonight. 

So only Craig and Zita and I will be a our dinner table tonight. Oh well. 

Emmet talked to his friend Miss Doctor Rachel. She is way way too busy. 

Because lots of people are still getting too sick. And they have to go to her hospital. Oh dear me.

My family is not sick.

Because we do not go out so much anymore. Even to very delicious restaurants. That is good. 

Because it is easy to mind my own family when everybody is just right here. That is a good idea.

We will watch the new detective program tonight. Maybe we will have treats. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Five

I had the busiest day in the whole world today. Goodness me.

Zita and I went for a long lovely walk this morning.

And she told me today is the just for all the dogs everywhere day. Ha. That is a good day.

Then I helped move both of our cars. 

So our falling down trees would not fall down right on our cars. 

Because today the men and a lady came to take away our beautiful trees. 

Before they fell over and squished everything. Oh dear.

They brought a giant truck and a very very noisy chop trees all up into to nothing machine. Oh dear.

And some of the men climbed right up to the top of the very tall trees. 

With very noisy saw machines. 

And they did not even fall down and die. That is good.

Then Craig was all awake so Zita could drive Niamh to her work. 

So Emmet and I watched them right from my own watching window. 

He was a big help.

They put all the pieces of the trees into the chop everything up machine. 

Even the very very big pieces. It is a very noisy machine. 

It is even louder than my fierce barking. Oh dear. 

At lunchtime we made some too much coffees for the nice people. 

They have some very nice dogs too. They showed Zita pictures. 

Right on their own telephones. 

Then the very nice lady had a very very long stick for just cutting big branches off. 

So they would not fall on our house. That is good. 

And she is going to make a little table and fat chairs. 

From the bits of cut down trees. Ha.

Then they went away. Except for the the clean everything up men. 

They had a giant blow everything away to somewhere else machine. 

So they could make our patio nearly neat and tidy. 

Then their very big truck took them away so they could take away some other falling down trees. Oh dear.

Then it was not noisy anymore so I had a nice nap. 

And Zita went to the grocery store. So we can have a tasty delicious dinner tonight. 

Zita and I had a lovely quiet before dinner walk. 

We are going to have an altogether dinner tonight. Ha.

Maybe we will have the made from our own ice cream cake. Maybe.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Four

We did not have any sleep ins today.

Because we had a very busy day.

Zita and I had a very nice long walk to say good morning to the whole day. Ha.

Then the black car took Niamh to her beautiful clothes store.

And when Zita came home we were very busy with our rascal ladies work. 

Zita moved my comfy towel to right under her standing up desk. 

So I can be her very close helper assistant. 

And keep her feet as warm as can be too. Ha. That is my favourite job.

I was so busy I did not even remember to have my breakfast until it was lunchtime.

So Craig put a pice of very tasty chicken on my brunchtime. 

Brunchtime is when you cannot eat your breakfast until it is lunchtime. Oh dear. 

We did not have our own made very delicious ice cream yet. 

Niamh was still making it perfect before she went to her work this morning. Oh dear. 

Maybe we will have some for our before bedtime dessert tonight. Maybe.

Emmet is still very busy writing his important giant story. 

So he has to make his Irish tea lots of times. And lots of cheese toasts too. 

It is very important not to be hungry when your are writing important stories. 

Or when I minding my own family. It is known.

Zita drove Niamh and Miss Tarryn to the know if you are just sick store. 

But that is where they put a stick right up your nose. Oh dear me. 

I would not like that. Oh dear. 

My toes were way too furry so Zita got her special just for me scissors and made them nearly neat and tidy.

So I will not slip all the time when I run all around my house. That was a good idea.

We will not have a nice altogether dinner tonight.

Because Zita is going to have her dinner outside in doctor Susan’s back yard. 

So I took Niamh and Miss Tarryn on a very nice before dinner walk. All by myself. Ha.

Maybe Craig and I will have a peanut butter toast sandwich. For our dinner. Maybe with cheese too. Maybe. 

We did not have a toasty sandwich. 

A mister McDonald’s man came with hamburgers for us instead. And a milkshake too.

I got a little bit of hamburger. 

Because I asked very politely. Ha. Good for me. 

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Three

I did not have a very nice night last night.

There was a very loud thunderstorm at my house. For a very long time. 

So I stayed in the bathroom. Zita and Niamh came in there too. To keep me company.

Because there are no windows in the bathroom.

So the thunder could not see us. Ha.

It is good to have friends with you when you are a little bit scared. 

Then the thunder went away. 

But it came back. That was not so nice. Oh dear.

A man brought very tasty milkshakes to our house. Even in the scary thunder.

And Craig shared his with me. When I was a bit scared. Ha. Good for us.

There should not be any thunderstorms where there are nice dogs. 

They should only have thunderstorms in the oceans. 

Because the giant whales are not scared of thunderstorms. Not even a bit. Ha. It is known. 

But because of the way too loud thunder we did not have a lovely long fast asleep last night.

So Zita had a sleep in. 

But it was by mistake sleep in. Oh dear me.

So she did not have time for her run all around all over everywhere. 

And we did not even have time for our good morning walk. Oh dear me. Too bad for us.

So when Craig was all awake her made Zita her fluffy coffee right away. 

For her say hello to everybody meeting.

Then Craig and I had the very little banana muffins. They are very small. 

So we had to have three. Ha.

Then Niamh and Emmet were all awake too. 

So I had to help them with their breakfasts. 

Because they were not so very wide awake.

I was so busy I almost forgot it was time to be Zita’s very best helper. Oh dear.

So I went into our office right away.

I was very busy today. 

Craig and I had the very last Scotsman’s scone for our lunchtime. 

Craig put the especially delicious jam on top. 

And he made them all toasty warm too. Ha. That is a good lunchtime.

Zita went to visit Craig’s mother. Inside her little apartment. 

This afternoon Niamh and Miss Tarryn made own made ice cream. 

So they could make a special cake. A cake made of only very delicious ice cream. Ha. 

Maybe I will have some too. 

Because I was their kitchen helper. Then I went back to our office to be Zita’s helper.

Craig did not need my help today. 

Except for our breakfast and our lunch. And the special treat. Ha.

Because we did not have a nice walk this morning we had a very nice before dinner walk.

When we got home we helped Niamh and Miss Tarryn make our very tasty dinner.

We always have very tasty dinners. 

Sometimes we have lots of different kinds cheese for dinner. Those are very lovely dinners. 

So we will have an nice altogether dinner tonight. With Miss Tarryn too. 

We will watch the nice detective from way far away England. 

He lives right where Emmet told everybody his very interesting story. 

At the very very old university. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Two

It was our sleep in Sunday but Zita and I went for a lovely nice walk this morning instead.

Because it was a beautiful as could be morning today.

Then Zita went to our busy street to get some delicious food from the nice farmers. 

Some brand new strawberries too. 

Craig was going to listen to his book.

But he went to fast asleep instead. 

So I minded him. Right on his feet. To keep him toasty warm.

When we were all asleep Zita went to have a lunch with doctor Susan. In her backyard. Ha.

So when Craig and I were all awake we had very very fat Scotsman’s scones. For our breakfast. With jam. Ha.

The very nice farmer made them. So Zita got them us us. 

And Emmet had one for his lunchtime. 

And another one for his next lunchtime. Ha. 

Last night Zita went to the grocery store to get some turkey for Professor Jill.

Because Professor Jill’s little dog Mister Willy was not so very well last night. 

And turkey is his favourite treat. 

Maybe the turkey will make him feel better. Maybe. Oh dear me. 

At lunchtime Niamh went for a bicycle ride. On her old fast bicycle. 

She went to visit Miss Tarryn’s new apartment. 

Today is Emmet’s day to play his other kind of game with his from all over from everywhere friends. 

We all had a very quiet day.

Because it is sleep in Sunday. 

That is our just look our our windows at the whole world day. Ha. That is a good day.

After lunchtime Zita sat in our very comfy outside chairs. In our side yard. 

When Craig and I came out to play catch the ball she was nearly fast asleep. Ha. 

But then she had to come into our cool house because it was too hot to be fast asleep outside.

So we went on a little walk. And we brought doctor Susan our old telephones. 

Because yesterday we put in a whole bunch of different telephones. Everywhere. Ha. 

It was not a very long walk today. Because it is a bit way too hot for long walks. 

We are going to have an altogether dinner tonight. With all my own family. 

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty One

It was a beautiful day all day today. 

So after Zita and the go fast car took Niamh to her beautiful clothes store mister Paul came to find Craig.

Because it was the Saturday old friends breakfast picnic. Right in our own pond park. Ha.

My friend the giant bird was there too. And my friends the ducks. 

Mister Tom and Miss Sandra were there too. Having their good morning coffees. 

So it was very busy in the park this morning.

When Craig had his picnic Zita talked to her mother in far away Dublin. She is not sick. That is good. 

Then we were very busy. Especially me. 

Because Zita decided to put the brand new light on the ceiling. 

Right where the scary basement stairs are. Oh dear.

And my friend Emmet helped her too. I could not help. 

Because of the very big dangerous ladder. 

So I minded Craig and we did not get in the way even once. Ha. Good for us. 

Then another man came. To take away more of our extra sones. That is good.

But he tried to take some of our own very big flat stones too. By mistake. 

But we saw him so Zita could tell him that he could not have our own stones.

Only our too many stones. Ha. Good for us.

So he put lots of them in his little a truck. Until it was full up. Two times.

Now nearly all of our too many stones are gone. 

Zita went to find Niamh before the brand new light was all finished. 

So her helper Emmet went of a lovely walk in the beautiful sunshine. 

Craig and I stayed right here so we could mind everything just by ourselves. 

After Niamh was back home Zita finished the brand new light.

So now the stairs are as bright as can be. That is good.

And the electricity did not even bite anybody at all. That is good.

We are going to put another brand new light in our office. But Mister Paul is going to help.

Because there are two many wires in our office. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Then Zita moved our extra bricks away. 

With our move heavy things machine. Until they were all gone. Ha. Good for her.

Then she put our beautiful flowers back right in front of my watching window.

Ha. That was a good idea. I like to see beautiful flowers right from my watching window.

And when she was all finished moving everything I took Zita for a lovely long before dinner walk. 

I found Professor Jill too. Ha. 

So I had a very busy day today. 

We will not have an altogether dinner tonight. Oh well.

Because Niamh and her fast old bicycle went to visit Miss Anna and Miss Tarryn’s new apartment. 

So they could eat cheesie pasta and talk. Oh well too bad for them.

We will have something very tasty too. 

Because we alway have delicious dinnertimes. 

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty

It was a no nice sunshine morning today. 

But we went for our before everything walk anyway. 

Then Zita took Niamh to downtown and I minded Craig. On the very comfy big bed.

But when Zita was back home I could not mind him any more.

Because I had to go to our rascal ladies office to be Zita’s helper.

Craig made Zita her fluffy coffee before he had his breakfast. 

So when Zita was all busy talking to rascal ladies on the computer I helped Craig with our breakfast.

We had a toasty warm cinnamon sticky bun. Ha. But it was not the very last one.

Because Emmet found another box right in the refrigerator. Ha.

So he could have a sticky cinnamon bun for his breakfast too. 

At lunchtime Craig and Zita went for a nice adventure walk. They even went to the other pond. 

But my friends the ducks were not home. 

Maybe they went out for a delicious lunchtime at another pond. Maybe.

I stayed here. Right in our own office. 

So I could guard all the important papers. Ha. That is a good job.

Zita was very busy all day. Oh dear. 

She had lots and lots and lots of meetings. All day. Too bad for her.

After Zita found Niamh downtown we went for just a nice little before dinner walk.

But we did not find Professor Jill today. Oh well.

And Zita had to clean our side yard before dinnertime.

Because all the awful squirrels make a very big mess. There are little bit of our bushes right all over the ground. 

So Zita had to brush them all away. That is not all right.

I hate squirrels. 

Zita talked to Auntie Eileen before dinnertime. And it was nearly Auntie Eileen’s bedtime. 

Because of the wrong clocks in way far away Ireland. Too bad for them.

Maybe we will have a nice everybody upstairs together dinner tonight. Maybe.

Then we will watch the television and I might have a very nice nap. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Nine

Everybody had a little sleep in today. Except for me and Zita.

We went on our before breakfast walk and then she went the make sure you are not sick store.

I stayed here so I could mind Craig. He was just pretending to listen to his book.

But he was fast asleep. Ha.

When he got up he made the special fluffy coffee for Zita’s important meetings.

And then Craig and I had our together breakfast. 

But we did not have our toasts today. We had a sticky cinnamon bun.

It was one of Emmet’s favourite very tasty Mister IKEA’s sticky buns. Ha. I got some little bits too.

The man who makes your tires round came to visit the black go fast car. 

He brought his very big truck too.

I did not know him so I barked at him when Zita went to talk to him. I barked a lot. Oh well. 

Last night everybody stayed at our outside altogether dinner for a long time. 

Because everybody was telling funny stories. And laughing all the time. 

Sometimes I do not understand the stories so very much. But it does not matter. 

Because I like it when everybody laughs. It makes me very happy.

Laughing is what people do because they do not have any lovely tails to wag. 

Not even very little ones like mine. Oh well. Too bad for them.

So I played with my big red ball. For a long time. And I got some very tasty treats too. Ha. 

Niamh is very busy today.

Because her own bedroom is so messy she cannot even find her big bed. Oh dear me.

So she had to put everything away in the right places. I did not go downstairs. Ha.

I stayed in our rascal ladies office. So I could be Zita’s best helper. That is a good job.

After lunchtime Niamh went into our other garden to get a big box of clean dirt.

Because she needed more nice dirt for all her lots and lots of flowers and bushes. 

Now her bedroom looks like a far away forest. 

That is where the very fierce tigers hide. Behind the bushes. In the forest. Oh dear me.

I hope tigers do not come to hide in my friend Niamh’s own forest. Oh dear. 

Then Craig and Zita would have to find an elephant to squish them as flat as can be. Oh dear.

That is the elephants best job. Ha. 

Emmet is still way too busy writing his very interesting important story.

But now he has to read some other very long books. 

But they are not so interesting books. Oh dear. Too bad for him.

It was not a sunny day outside today. Just all flat clouds. 

There were not even any nice sheep clouds. Oh well. 

We went for our before dinnertime walk anyway. When we were all finished our work.

We found Professor and the little dog too. Ha. That was a good walk.

We had our altogether dinner tonight. But not everybody was upstairs at the dining room table. 

Because Emmet was playing his dragons game. With his university friends.

We will watch the rest of the new detective program tonight. We were way too tired to watch it all last night. 

So we went to bed early instead. Ha. Bedtime is my favourite. 

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Eight

We did not get up so early today.

Because it is our do not go to work day today.

So after Zita drove Niamh to the beautiful clothes store we had a nice just around here walk.

My leg was not too sore today. It was only a little bit sore. That is good.

When we got home we had very big toasts with Craig. We had jam too. Ha.

Then Zita went outside and I minded Craig while he read his flat computer.

That is an easy job. He had his another coffee too.

Emmet is very busy. He is finishing his chop off the heads story.

But he is not so happy today.

Because he had to read a giant book of writing rules. From the very very old university.

Oh dear. Too bad for him.

Before Zita went to find Niamh downtown she went to Mister IKEA’s giant store.

To get some new right on the ceiling lights.

Because our office is way too dark when there is no beautiful sunshine outside. Oh dear.

Maybe she will find some of their very delicious sticky buns for Emmet. 

Sometimes Emmet shares them. But only if he is all fast awake.

I got some of the very very tasty very little banana muffins for my lunch with Craig. Ha.

Banana muffins are my very favourite treats. It is known.

There is another new pretend island in my pond. With a high in the air light on top of it. Ha.

Maybe so my friends the ducks can find our lovely pond even in the nighttime. Maybe.

The nice men with the go by themselves boats put it there. Ha.

Before our dinner Zita and I went on a very nice walk. 

It was not an all over walk. It was just a nice slow walk. Ha.

We had an outside dinner tonight. And we invited Mister Paul.

It will be a sit far away dinnertime. With cooked outside hamburgers. Ha. 

So we had an altogether dinner tonight. Outside with Mister Paul too. Ha. 

When we were having our dinner a man came to take away lots of our way too many stones. 

Because he needed stones just like ours. For his house. Ha. That was good.

After dinner maybe we will watch some more new detective programs. Ha. 

Then it will be time for everybody to go to fast asleep.

Except for Emmet and Niamh. 

They do not know how to go to fast asleep very well. 

They just stay wide awake all night. Too bad for them.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Seven

All the ladies in our house got up early today. But not Craig and Emmet. Too bad for them.

The go fast car took Niamh downtown to the beautiful clothes store. 

Then when she was home again Zita went for her run all over everywhere.

I minded Craig. That was an easy job.

Because he was just fast asleep.

Then Zita and I went for a little walk. 

We will only go for little walks until my leg is not too sore again. That is a good idea.

Craig could not make Zita her special fluffy coffee today. He could only make just coffee. 

Because we did not have any milk. Only just a very little bit for Emmet’s Irish tea. Oh dear.

That is why the grocery store’s very big truck came to our house at lunchtime.

And a young man and a young lady came right to our front door. 

And brought us boxes and even some bags full up to the top with tasty food. 

And lots of milk too. That is a good idea.

I could not have a together breakfast with Craig this morning.

Because he had a little sleep in and I was way too busy helping Zita in our office. Oh dear.

But when he had his another coffee I was not so very busy.

So we had two toasts with jam. Together. In front of my watching window. Ha. 

Then I helped Zita in our own office. 

Until Niamh was all finished her work and Zita and the go fast car went downtown to find her.

When Zita was away I stayed in our office to mind it. 

Because there are lots of important papers in our office. 

So I have to guard them when Zita is not there. That is an important job. Good for me. 

When they got back home Niamh had her do not get very sick shower. 

So I just had a minding nap in the den. 

To keep Craig company. That is an easy job.

All of a sudden it was an all rainy day outside. Oh dear. 

Then there was even some scary thunder too. That was a surprise. Oh dear. 

I went back into our own office.

So Zita would not be too scared too. Good for us.

Emmet is nearly all finished his chopping heads off story for the very old Cambridge university. 

There are no pictures in his story. That is good. Oh dear me. 

If you chop someone’s head off they will be just all dead. That is not all right. Oh dear me. 

Emmet should only write nice stories. 

The ones all about his friend Mister Cú Chulainn’s fierce dogs. Ha. That would be a good story.

Or ones all about the very brave Punic Elephants. They are my favourite elephants.

But Emmet does not read lots and lots about the Punics anymore. 

Now he only has time to read about very famous long long time ago heroes in way far away Ireland. Oh well. 

I did not want to go for a before dinner walk tonight. So I stayed here to mind Craig instead.

We cannot have our altogether dinner tonight because Niamh is visiting Anna at her new apartment. Oh well.

So I only have to mind Craig and Zita and Emmet. 

Then we will watch the new detective program again. 

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Six

We were up very early this morning.

So we could move the cars from our driveway. 

So they would not get all squished up. 

But the take our beautiful trees away man could not come today.

All his helpers were here. Sitting on the road. 

But then their giant truck would not go anywhere. I do not know why. 

So they have to come another day. Oh dear me.

So Zita and I went on a very early not so long walk. 

It was not too long because I was a bit too sore yesterday. Too bad for me.

Craig was up early too.

So we had the round toasts with the very tasty jam.

Then I had a very nice nap. Right beside Craig in the living room. When he had his too much coffees.

Niamh made cheesie chips for her lunchtime. I had some. So did Craig. Ha.

Then it was time for me to go to work in our office. 

So I could be Zita’s best helper. That is my favourite job.

Niamh and the old very fast bicycle went on a ride today.

Because it is a very beautiful day today. 

But she had to make the tires all as round as could be. Or the bicycle would not be so very fast. 

My friend cousin Orlaith went swimming today. On a beach. She sent me pictures. 

But it is not such a big beach. It is only an Inch beach. Oh well. 

She is on a little vacation. With Mister Evan. In way far away Cork. 

That is the same place Emmet lives. When he is is at his very old university. Ha.

Now they live in the very same city. That will be nice. 

But Emmet is still here. In his comfy giant bedroom. 

Writing his very very long story. Nearly all by himself. Except for me. Oh dear me. 

Because his university is still not all open. Oh dear. 

And his own professors are not there either. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

This afternoon Miss Andrea came to have a not very close visit with Emmet. 

They went to sit in our own lovely park. With their masks on. Ha.

She is going to doctors school in not so far away Toronto.

But it has not started yet. So she is not a doctor yet. Oh well.

Emmet’s friend Miss Rachel is already a doctor. 

So she gets to wear a white coat. With her name on it. Ha. 

Emmet is going to be a doctor too. When he finishes his giant very interesting story.

But he will not be a wear a white coat doctor. 

He will be a writes lots of interesting books and teaches people doctor. 

I know all about his interesting important story. 

He is telling everybody about the very different brave heroes there were in long long long time ago Ireland. 

When everybody was magic too. Maybe even the fierce dogs too. Maybe. 

I would like to be a magic dog. Magic dogs can catch squirrels whenever they want to. Ha.

I know all the stories because Emmet reads them to me when he walks all around. Ha. 

Good for me. I am always a big help. 

We had more scary thunder before dinner so I went right downstairs to my friend Emmet’s room.

And I got up on the very big full of comfy pillows bed. Ha. 

The thunder cannot find you when you are under lots of pillows. It is the rule.

But Niamh is outside with her fast bicycle. Oh dear. 

Maybe Zita will go and bring her home in the go fast car. Before the thunder can catch her. 

We are having bacons tonight. For our dinner. 

I could smell it. Even when I was downstairs. Ha. Good for me. 

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Five

We had a little sleep in today.

Then Zita talked to her mother in way far away. 

But her mother cannot read my very interesting stories for a little while.

Because auntie Eileen took her flat computer away so she can fix it all up.

So Zita’s mother will be able to see all of us on it.

Even when we are here and she is still in way far away Dublin. 

Just like we see Emmet when he is at one of his far away universities. Ha.

We only had a little walk this morning.

Because Zita had to go and help Professor Jill bring back lots and lots of delicious vegetables.

We get them from all the very nice farmers who come to our busy street. 

With all the delicious food they grow. All by themselves. In their own not very far away farms. Ha. 

When Zita came home she made the very delicious peaches and Scotsman’s oatmeal dessert. 

And when it was in the oven we had our toasts outside. In my side yard. 

It was a very beautiful morning today. 

When the made of delicious peaches dessert was all finished Craig and Zita had some for lunch. And Emmet too.

They had a tasty dessert for their lunchtime. Ha. That is silly. 

Some of my own lunch fell onto the floor so I had to help Zita find it. Ha. 

That was a very easy job.

Then I took Niamh and Lee and Cara for another walk. 

It was not a too long walk because then it was very hot again outside.

And when I go home I was a very hot dog. 

So I had a very nice quiet rest. On the cool floor in the kitchen.

Last night Craig and Zita went for their adventure walk after dinner. Oh dear.

Because it was not way too hot after dinner. 

And they saw the giant catch the fish bird.

It was right there on the pretend island in our pond. Ha. Looking for the very noisy fish. 

That is a very nice bird. 

There was lots of people in my park last night. Having picnics. 

Because lots and lots of the restaurants are still all closed up. 

So everybody can eat outside. Ha. But not if it is a rain all the time day. 

Because nobody wants to have a soggy picnic. It is known..

We did not go for a before dinner walk. 

Because of the lots of rain. And lots of scary thunder too.

So I went downstairs with Niamh to her very comfy bedroom. 

Because I am her very best friend. She told me so. That is good.

The scary thunder cannot find me in the basement. On the very comfy bed. Ha. That is good. 

I do not like thunder at all. Or the very bright lightning. 

I only like very nice days. Maybe with lots of sheep clouds. 

There is no scary thunder in sheep clouds. It is known.

We will have an nice altogether delicious dinner tonight. Ha.

But I will have to stay downstairs if the thunder is still trying to catch me. Oh dear.

Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Four

It was a very beautiful morning so Zita and I have a lovely walk around.

Then she talked to Auntie Eileen in way far away Dublin. 

Craig did not have a nice sleep in today.

Because it is his Saturday for going to our beautiful park. 

So he could have his coffee with his very old friends. 

Mister Paul came so he could borrow our take it with you chair.

After Craig went to the park Niamh was all awake too.

So we talked to her Nanna. Right on the computer. Right in way far away Dublin.

And I saw her. Right there on our computer. And she was still in way far away. Ha.

And she saw me too. Right on her own flat computer. Ha. That was nice.

Then the go fast car and Zita took Niamh to the downtown so she could go to work. 

And not be late at all. 

And when Zita came home it was time to make the house spic and span again. Oh well.

She had to use the noisy machine right away.

So it would no be too loud when Emmet was on his other computer.

Teaching everybody all about his friends the very old Gods from almost France. 

People from all over everywhere were just right on their own computers.

So they could all listen to my friend Emmet. Ha. 

Craig was not so busy. 

He only sat in the den until he was not so hot from being outside in the park.

We had a little croissant for our lunch. But we did not have any of our delicious jam on top.

I do not know why. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

Then I had a long nap. On the big comfy bed. 

After his very very long talk Emmet had to have a squeaky clean shower. 

Because he was all sweaty. Because he had to talk to so many people. And he did not know them.

Then he was as clean as could be and was not even a bit smelly. Ha. That is good. 

I went into the den so I could mind Craig. He was just reading his book. 

So I was a very quiet dog. Ha. 

I am always very quiet when I am fast asleep. Ha.

Then when Niamh was home she had a squeaky clean shower too.

Because of the do not get sick and die rules. Ha. 

We are going to make own made pizzas for our dinner tonight. Ha. 

Pizzas are my favourite.

But Emmet is playing his dragons game today so we will not have an altogether dinner. Oh well.

We have to find a new detective program tonight.

Because we watched the last of the very messy detective programs last night. Oh dear.
