Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Four

We got up very early this morning.

Because it was the time for Zita to visit her nice Doctor. 

And we went for a very lovely good morning to everybody walk.

It was still a too cold day. 

But we have very warm clothes for when it is too cold. Ha. Good for us.

We even have keep you feet warm boots. Ha.

Then we had a together breakfast before it was time to go to work.

Because it is our go back to work Monday. Oh well.

Craig had a sleep in this morning so I did not have my other together breakfast until later.

But when he was all dressed we had a very delicious big muffin. That was a tasty treat.

Then it was time to go back to my office to help Zita. 

We had a little party here last night with Miss Emily and Mister Holden. 

Then Niamh and Miss Emily and Mister Holden went to the nice university.

To play on Miss Emily’s throw a ball at people team. 

Because she did not have enough people on her team. 

Because some people were still on their little vacation. Oh dear. 

The men put the take the snow away signs on my street.

So soon the giant noisy machines will come and be very scary. I do not like those machines. 

Maybe they will try to take away my own house. Or maybe even my family. Oh my goodness me.

It was only us for our together dinner tonight. 

And we had tasty from way far away India chicken. Ha.

I had some before dinnertime. 

But before we had dinner Tarryn and Miss Kelsey came to visit us. That was nice.

They brought back all the things that Niamh left at Miss Kelsey’s house. 

When she went there for their own made dinner.

After dinnertime Niamh watched a movie for her university class.

With another lady from her class. At the same time.

We watched the detective program.

But the take the snow away machines came and scared me. Oh dear.

Because they are very noisy and they have very loud bright lights. 

And they were right outside our window too. 

But Zita said I was very brave. 

And after all the too much snow was all gone we went to fast asleep. 

That was a very good idea. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Three

We all had a bit of a sleep in.

Because it was sleep in Sunday. Ha.

Zita and I were going to go on a lovely walk. 

But there was just like that an all of a sudden wind snow storm. Oh my.

And sometimes I could not even see my empty pond. 

So we decided to go later. 

So then I helped Craig eat his two breakfast croissants. 

He put butter right inside them today. Ha. That was very delicious.

Niamh was up too. She had to fix Mister Holden’s vote for me story.

Because the boys did not write such a wonderful story. Oh my goodness me.

And then she talked to Miss Emily. And she was on a train. Oh my goodness.

It was one of the do not fall over and crash trains. That is good. 

But Zita and Niamh are going to find her at the train station and bring her back to my house.

Then Niamh and Miss Emily can fix the not so very good story. And maybe have tasty treats too. Ha. 

Zita talked to Auntie Eileen today. She is still in way far away Ireland. 

But she has a telephone too. That is good. 

Then it was not just all windy snowing outside so Zita and I went for our afternoon walk. 

Today is the special for Polar Bears day. 

But they do not live so close to us. 

So we did not see any when we had our walk. That was good. 

Because Polar Bears are very fierce and very big too. 

But they just like to stay way way up north where they can find nasty seals for their dinners. Ha. 

We talked to my friend Emmet before dinner. We were the den.

Because Niamh and Miss Emily have stolen the dining room table for their Mister Holden work. 

Emmet was still in way far away Cork. 

But in the nearly summertime Emmet is going to come for a visit.

But not for a long time.

Because he has to go back to Ireland for another of his important meetings. 

Then we had a little party for our dinnertime.

Because Mister Holden came for dinner too. Oh my goodness me. 

So Mister Tony’s friend brought us lots of pizzas.

Because there were too many people for not enough pasta. Ha.

Pizzas are my favourite too.

Then Craig and Zita and I watched a new detective program. 

And I had a nap too. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and Two

It was way too cold this morning to go for a lovely walk.

So Zita and I had our breakfast and waited for Niamh to be fast awake. 

And Zita talked to her parents on the telephone too. But not for a long time.

Because they were going to our cousin’s Sarah’s sing happy birthday day party.

And we sent her very beautiful flowers. That was a nice idea. 

Then Zita drove Niamh to her little store and when she got home Craig and I were in the den.

Because it was old friends breakfast Saturday. And I helped Craig with his breakfast toasts. 

When Craig was talking to everybody I took Zita and Professor Jill on a very long lovely walk. 

I was all dressed in my very warm clothes because it was still very cold outside. Even at lunchtime.

When we got home I helped Zita move the snow in my side yard. That was a good job.

When we finished moving the snow I was a bit all covered in snow. 

But now the go fast car will not get stuck. 

In way far away the Russian’s trains are not even there. Just their big trucks.

And they are getting stuck all over.

I do not think they bought any do not get stuck in the snow tires. 

And some of their lots of tanks are all burnt up too. Oh my goodness.

Because nobody invited them to visit. And now everybody is very mad. 

And it is right on our television. So everybody knows. Oh my goodness me. 

Then Zita and Susan went for a nice together drive. 

I stayed here to have my afternoon nap with my friend Craig. 

And to make sure no Russian trucks came and just got all stuck on my street. Good for me.

Craig and Zita and I will be the only ones here for dinner tonight.

Because Niamh is going to Miss Emma’s house for an altogether own made dinner. Ha.

We had chicken and peas for our dinner.

And because I was Zita kitchen helper I got some delicious chicken even before dinnertime.

And after dinner I got chicken on top of my second dinner. Ha.

And then we watched the far away in England doctors and this time they had horses too. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred and One

We did not go for our good morning walk today.

Because it was not such a good morning. It was an all the time snowing morning.

And it was snowing when we were all fast asleep.

So when we got up there was even more everywhere snow.

That is not just all right. So I just went into our office and went back to fast asleep.

And I did not even eat my breakfast. Ha. 

But Craig did not have a sleep into this morning.

So when he made his round toasts I had to get all awake so I could help him. Ha. 

When we were all finished our toasts Craig put some green beans on my breakfast.

So I gobbled it up just like that. 

Then I went back to our office to help Zita. That is an important job. 

Last night my friend Niamh’s head was too full of remember everything exams.

So she and Miss Emma went out to have ice cream treats. 

But she ate all of them before she came home.

So there was not even one bit extra for me. That was not so nice. Oh well. Too bad for me.

We did not have a lunchtime walk either. Because it was still just windy snow everywhere.

This morning Niamh was very busy downstairs finishing her exam. That is good. 

But after lunchtime she came upstairs and she brought all her plants upstairs too.

And then she made a jungle right in my bathtub. 

Because she had to give all her beautiful plants their own shower. Right there in the bathtub. Oh my goodness. 

I did not want to have a bath so I stayed in our rascal ladies office with Zita. Ha. 

And then all the plants had to stay in the bathtub to have a relax. 

Because Niamh was very busy making beautiful pictures to get Mister Holden elected. She was very busy today. 

And then both Zita and Niamh were busy. At the same time.

Because they went to the special look at beautiful tiles store. 

To find some new beautiful tiles for the bathroom downstairs. 

I stayed here so Craig would not be lonely. That is an easy job for me. 

I only had to mind Craig and Zita for dinner tonight.

Because Niamh had another meeting to go to.

And then we had lots of time to watch our program all about the in far away England animal Doctors.

There was even a dog in the program. 

But it was a very little dog. 

But the cows were still very big. 

Day Three Thousand Five Hundred

I got up very early today.

Because Zita had to go downtown to the old rascal ladies office to find important papers.

But after she left I got up on the big comfy bed to keep my friend Craig as warm as could be.

Then Niamh was fast awake so I took her on our good morning walk. 

I showed her all the right streets to go on. So she would not get way too lost. Ha.

And when we got home she sat in the living room. She was studying her fat books. 

Because she had a remember everything exam this afternoon.

So I stayed there to mind her.

When Craig was all awake Niamh went to the drink some expensive coffee store. 

So Craig and I had two full of holes toasts. With Jam. Ha,

Then Craig was listening to a interesting meeting on the computer. 

It was people talking about when Zita’s Uncle Joe and her grandfather and his friends shot people. Oh my goodness me.

But it was a long time ago. 

But everybody still remembers who shot who. Oh my goodness me. 

We did not shoot anyone. 

Because we were not even there. We were here. The whole time. Even me. 

But even today there are people shooting people. Oh my goodness me.

And it is the Russians who are going where nobody wants them. 

I saw them on the computer. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

Maybe their trains will just fall over and crash again. Oh dear me.

That would be a good idea. 

Then Niamh and Tarryn came back to my house. 

To write their remember everything exam. 

So I stayed in the dinnertime room to mind them. That is an important job.

But I went to fast fast asleep. But nobody noticed. Ha. 

I was so fast asleep I did not even wake up for lunchtime. Oh my goodness.

Then when I was fast awake I was so hungry that I went in the den and found my friend Craig.

And he got me my very late lunch. So I did not even starve a little bit. That was good. 

This afternoon Zita went to Dentist Doctor Don. Oh my goodness me. 

Zita likes our Doctor Don. But she does not like going to his office. Oh dear me. 

When she came home Craig made her a fluffy coffee and then she sat in the very comfy chair in the living room.

Niamh and Tarryn were in the dining room.

So I stayed there to mind everybody. Except Craig. Too bad for him. 

He was very busy in the den reading his book about the man who used to be a Viking. 

But now is he is fighting them. So he can keep his own people all safe. That is an important job.

It is my job too. Ha. Good for us.

We had our own made used lasagna for dinner tonight. Lasagna is very very tasty.

Because there is lots of very delicious cheese in lasagna. Ha. 

And we had green beans too. Ha. That was a very good dinnertime for me.

After dinnertime we watched a man and his friends go all the way around the whole world. 

And they did not even have an aeroplane. Just boats and horses and feet.  Oh my goodness me. 

But I had my own den pillow so I had a nice nap. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Nine

We could not go for a good morning walk this morning.

Because everything was all covered up in ice.

Because of the freezie rain. Oh my goodness me.  

It took Zita a very long time to take all the ice off the black car.

Because you cannot drive an all covered in ice car. Because you can not see anything at all. 

And when she was all done the black car and Zita took Niamh to her lovely store.

And when she got home Craig and I already had our together toasts. Ha.

But Craig made Zita a fluffy coffee and she had two round toasts. With jam too. Ha.

So helped her too. Ha. 

The nurse forgot all about my friend Craig today. So Zita talked to someone on her own telephone.

So at lunchtime a new nurse came to fix the bandage. 

She was as good a bandage wrapper as Nurse Jesse. Too bad for us.

But when she was all gone Zita and a went for a short do not fall down walk. 

It was not such a nice day outside today. 

It was very sunny but it was a bit too windy too. Oh well.

When we got home Zita put do not fall down sand all over our driveway. That was a good idea.

And when she was finished she went to the special store where you can look at beautiful tiles for our bathroom floor.

Because now the bathtub is there Zita will know where to put some beautiful tiles. Ha.

Yesterday the present man brought Niamh a surprise present. From her Nana.

And it was a Mister Saint Santa. Just for Niamh. 

Because Merry Christmas time is Niamh’s very favourite time. 

So her Nana made her a Mister Saint Santa. And sent it to her. From way far away Dublin. Ha.

And he has his snowman friend with him. Ha. That was a good idea. 

Craig and I had a delicious peanut butter and honey sandwich. With brand new bread for our late lunch.

Then it was time for my afternoon nap. Ha. Good for me.

When Zita came home she had a let us see if we like it tile. For the new better bathroom.

But she did not stay home because she went to find Niamh at the beautiful bridge and bring her home.

Because it was our together dinnertime. 

But Niamh could not have dinner with us.

Because she had a get Mister Holden elected meeting. Oh her computer. 

So I minded Craig and Zita all dinner.

And I got some very delicious all covered in cheese pasta. That was a good dinner. 

I saw our friend Brenda’s house on the computer.

Because she is selling it. Oh dear. 

My family used to live right there beside her. 

And we had the same giant backyard. Ha,

But now we live right here. In my house. Ha. 

With me too. Ha.

We have to find a new program tonight.

Because the last very good one was all finished. Oh well. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Eight

We got up very early this morning. 

And all of a sudden two of Mister Mat’s helpers were here.

Right at my side door.

And they had a bathtub. For our even better bathroom downstairs. Oh my goodness me.

And they brought their own very very loud machines.

And they were so noisy I could not even eat my breakfast.

Craig could not even stay in the comfy bed. 

Because it was too noisy to be fast asleep. 

So he was all awake and all dressed before breakfast time.

And Niamh came upstairs too.

Because it was way way too noisy downstairs. 

So she came upstairs and I minded her in the living room.

We watched a very old movie. From very far away Russia. 

It was for her all about music and movies class. 

But the helpers were only here for a while. And then they were just gone. 

And now we have a giant bathtub in the basement. 

It is much bigger than my upstairs bathtub. My goodness me. 

Now a man has to come so you cannot look right through the new walls. 

After the men were gone Craig found a tasty treat for me and then I could eat my breakfast. Ha.

And today we had jam on our full of holes round toast. Ha. That was tasty too.

But then it was time for me to be Zita’s very best helper. In our own very quiet office. 

At lunchtime Zita and I went for our lunchtime walk. 

It was not too very cold. 

But we had to get our warm clothes on so we did not freeze all up.

And we could have a nice long walk. 

So we could look at everything interesting in my neighbourhood. Ha. Good for us.

Then Zita and I went back to our important work. Good for us.

When we were all finished it was freezie rain outside. 

It was a very good idea that we went on our walk at lunchtime. 

You cannot go on even little walks in freezie rain.

Because maybe you will just fall right down on your bottom. And then your bottom will be soggy. 

Nobody likes a soggy bottom. It is known. 

So before dinnertime I just looked out my window at the sliding everywhere people. Oh my goodness me. 

We had cheesie toasties for our dinner.

But Niamh had her dinner downstairs in her bedroom. 

Because she was writing another brand new story for her university. Oh my goodness me. 

After Zita and I played rope it was time for our detective program. 

So we went into the den and I had my after dinnertime nap.

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Seven

Everybody got up early today.

But it was not a go to work Monday.

Because it was a holiday Monday. Ha. 

I did not know that it was a holiday. Too bad for me.

So Zita and I had lots of time for a very long lovely good morning to everyone walk. That was a nice idea. 

And when we were all back home Craig was all awake we had a full of holes round toasts. Ha.

But we only had butter on top. We did not have jam today. I do not know why. 

And my friend Niamh was all awake too.

Because she had lots of new stories to write for her university.

And then Miss Daphne came to visit us. 

Because today Zita and Miss Daphne went on a holiday all around my neighbourhood walk.

And then they went to Zita’s friend’s delicious treats and coffee store.

And they had treats. Ha. That was a good idea.

Because today is a holiday. Ha.

It was not cold outside today. 

So they did not have to have a fast as can be walk. That was good.

When they had their walk I had my afternoon nap. Good for us. 

But then I had to wake up.

Because Craig had two pieces of Mister Tony’s used pizza for his late lunchtime.

So I had to help him. 

So he would not just eat all of it and get a sick tummy. Ha. Good for me. 

When Zita and Niamh came home it was nearly time to make our dinner. 

We had hamburgers. And Zita cooked them outside.

I got some too. 

Then Craig and Zita and I watched a bit of the detective program.

But then Zita went downstairs to read Niamh’s brand new story. 

To make sure it was as beautiful as could be.

I stayed upstairs to mind Craig. 

With my own comfy pillow.

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Six

I had a very busy very early in the morning.

Because Zita had to be all awake to let me outside. When it was still as dark as could be.

But then my friend Niamh was all awake too. 

Because she had a headache sick tummy. Oh my goodness me.

But Zita found her special from her doctor medicine. And she took it right away. 

Then Niamh went in the den to go to sleep on the comfy sofa. And Zita and I stayed with her. 

Just in case she got too sick. Good for us.

But she just went to fast asleep. So did I.

Before lunchtime both Niamh and Craig were all awake.

That was a good idea.

Because we had very delicious real pancakes for our lunch.

They were not the pretend toast pancakes from France. That was a good idea. 

Miss Tarryn was here too. Because she drove our go fast car home from the party last night. 

So then everybody had pancakes and maple syrup and even brand new whipped cream.

I even got some of the whipped cream right on top of my lunch. That was a good surprise. 

Then it was time for Niamh and Tarryn to do their university homework.

And it was time for my after lunchtime walk. Ha. 

And it was not even very cold today.

But Zita and I got our best warm clothes on anyway. 

Because we walked all the way to our all empty lake. That was a very nice quiet walk. 

Then I minded Niamh and Tarryn when Zita went to the store to get Craig some easy to put on pants.

Because all his pants are now too old. And some have holes in them. Oh dear. 

Niamh had the music machine play some very quiet lovely music. 

So I went to fast asleep. Ha. 

And when Zita got home it was time for our dinner.

But we were up way too early this morning so Mister Tony’s nice friend is going to bring us pizzas. 

Because everybody was too tired to make an own made dinner. 

Craig and Zita and I had our pizzas in the den.

Because Niamh and Tarryn had their homework all over the dining room table.

And they had their pizza right there. So they did not have to stop their thinking. Ha.

We watched a brand new detective program tonight. 

But I was very tired so I had a very nice fall fast asleep.

Right there. With my friends Craig and Zita. 

On my own comfy pillow. Good for me.

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Five

I had a very quiet day today.

Miss Tarryn stayed here last night. Because of the too much snow.

So this morning Niamh and Tarryn helped Zita take all the snow away from the driveway.

Because the silly snowplough always put lots of its own snow right on our driveway. That is not so nice.

But it took a long time so the black car took Niamh and Tarryn to the lovely store.

When Zita got home Craig and I were already to have our cinnamon bun breakfast.

Because then he had his next coffee and talked to his old friends. 

But my friend Mister Paul was not there. 

Because he went to way far away to go fast skiing with his family.

In the same country where they have very high mountains. 

And lots of giant and beautiful very delicious pastries stores everywhere.

So they can have tasty treats all the time. Even at their dinnertimes.

That is a good country. 

Then Zita went to Mister Preston’s hardware store. 

So she could find new handles for the doors in the bedroom.

But when she got home they were the wrong ones. Oh dear me. 

And she got brand new very loud save me save me burning bacon machines. Oh dear me. 

Then she went back to the hardware store to find the just right handles. So I had my afternoon nap. 

And when she got back one of brand new handles would not fit. 

Because the door was wrong. Oh my goodness me. That was a surprise. 

But we put it on anyway. Ha. Silly door.

Then it was time for Zita and I to take Professor Jill on her before dinner walk. 

But we had to get all our very warm clothes on.

Because it was very windy outside. 

And we did not want to be all frozen up. 

Tonight Niamh and Tarryn went to a party in their friend’s not too close house. 

So the back go fast car took them. So they do not have to stay until too late. 

Then I only had to mind Craig and Zita for our dinner. That was an easy job. 

I think we have to find another detective program tonight. Oh well.

Maybe I will have a very comfy nap. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Four

When we got up this morning we did not go for our good morning walk.

Because now there was way too much snow.

Because last night while had our little party it was snowing all the time.

And now there is so much snow in my side yard I might have gotten lost. Under all the snow. 

So Zita said we should stay inside. Oh my goodness me.

And you could not even see our own sidewalk. Oh my goodness me.

And today is Niamh’s all day at her nice university day. 

So she walked all the way there. My goodness me.

On the road because the sidewalks were all full up to the top. 

When Craig got up I had to keep him company.

Because Zita had an important meeting she did not want to go to. 

But it had to be a very quiet meeting.

So I could not just stay in our office.

In case I might be a way too much barking dog.

If the move the snow machines came on our street.

So I had to stay in the living room and help Craig have his sticky cinnamon bun breakfast. 

But I really wanted to be in our office so I could be Zita’s very best assistant. But I had to stay in the living room. 

So I just looked out the window and was a bit of a sad dog. 

And Zita’s meeting was not all finished until lunchtime. 

But we could not go for a lovely walk until she moved lots of the way too much snow.

And I could not help. 

But when she was finished we got all dressed and went only for a little walk.

Because the snow was so deep it was had to walk in. Oh well. 

But is was as sunny as could be outside. And not way too cold.

So I did not wear my very warm coat. I only had to wear my purple boots.

My friend Emmet told us that last night there was even snow in Cork. But not so very much.

But everybody was very surprised. Oh my goodness me. 

We did not watch our detectives program last night.

Because we stayed at the dining room table until our very bedtime.

Everybody was telling stories. 

And Miss Emily brought us delicious giant cupcakes for our dessert. Ha.

But they were not for dogs chocolate cupcakes. Too bad for me.

So I got green beans instead. Green beans are my favourite too. 

When our rascal ladies work was all finished Zita went for an empty her head walk. 

I did not go. Because it was time for my before dinner nap. 

Kathy and Richard are coming to our house tonight. And we are going to have lots and lots of pizzas. Ha.

But Zita cooked some delicious bacon. I could smell it even when I was asleep.

But it was for a tasty salad. It was not for me. Oh well. 

We got even more go fast medals. 

For jumping very high on ski’s. And even going upside down. That is a very scary game. 

I would not like to play that game. It is known. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Three

Zita and I and Niamh had to be awake early today.

Because it was so warm outside that it just rained all night.

And some water got into the basement where the old kitchen is. 

So they had to clean everything all up and push all the melted snow away from my side yard. Oh my goodness me. 

That is not such a good way to get up.

So we did not go for a good morning walk. 

When it was time for Zita’s important meeting I stayed in our office with her.

So I could keep her feet toasty warm when she was talking to everybody.

I was so busy I did not even have time to help Craig with his cinnamon bun breakfast. Oh dear. 

Miss Sash drove Niamh to her nice university this morning. That was nice.

Zita called nice Mister Charles about the too much water.

Because he fixed the other too much water. So now he will come to fix this too. 

But only after the snow has all gone away. That was a very good idea. 

And our own hockey ladies won the very best prize.

And they were very very happy. That is good.

Not everybody is happy. But they are. Ha. 

Tonight Miss Emily is coming for a delicious dinner at my house.

So we are having our own made sauce on top of tortellinis. Ha. 

Maybe we will have green beans too. Maybe.  

Mister Tom brought us some more wonderful detective programs for our after dinnertime relaxes. Ha.

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Two

Everybody had to get up very early this morning.

Because Mister Dave came to make sure there could be lovely lights in our better bathroom.

I only barked a little.

Because I remembered Mister Dave from before. Good for me.

He was in the basement being just a little bit noisy until lunchtime.

And a new nurse came this morning to put new a bandage on Craig’s foot. 

And when he was finished Zita drove Niamh to her lovely store. 

Because it is Niamh’s working day today. 

When they were gone Craig and I had a very fat crunchy toast. For our breakfast.

Then Zita remembered that today was a make the house spic and span day. Oh goodness.

So it was noisy downstairs and noisy right here. Oh my goodness me. 

So I just went everywhere there was not so much noise. 

Then it was time for our afternoon walk. 

And it was not even a bit freezing outside. But it was windy cold. So everybody had to wear their mittens.

We found Professor Jill and she had her mittens on too. Ha. 

That is silly weather. 

My friend Emmet is going to tell everybody another one of his very interesting stories. 

Right on everybody’s computer. 

And some of his friends are going to tell their stories too. 

But not on the same day. Oh my goodness.

Maybe I will listen to it when I am getting all ready for my good night sleep. Maybe. 

After our walk Zita took the noisy floor clean machine downstairs. 

Because it was a bit messy after Mister Dave did all his work making holes for wires. 

So I had my afternoon nap. 

While I was fast asleep Zita and the go fast car went out to do some errands and get some tasty food for our dinner.

I only have to mind Craig and Zita tonight. 

Because Niamh and Tarryn are having their dinner at Tarryn’s apartment with Miss Anna. 

Last night we watched the lady detective with the very old messy car. That is a good program.

Maybe we will watch another one tonight. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety One

It was a get up early for for Zita and Niamh and I.

Because today is Niamh’s early in the morning class at her university.

Because it was not way too cold today she went for a very fast walk to her nice university.

And right away it was time for Zita and I to go to our rascal ladies work.

But when Craig was all awake I helped him with our together toasts. 

We had very fat toasts today. And strawberries jam too. 

But then it was time for me to go back to work in our office. Oh well. 

At lunchtime Zita and I went for our walk in the lots and lots of sunshine. 

I wore my all brand new purple boots today. Ha. 

Zita says I am as stylish as Niamh. Ha. Good for us. 

This morning the present man brought even more shoes for Niamh. That is why we are so stylish. 

Because of our feet. Ha. 

But it was still very cold outside so we had to wear our warmest coats too. 

We did not go on our all the time same way walk. 

We went up my other street instead. 

Because we had to go and give our friend Brenda something to fix her computer. My goodness.

After that we went to Craig’s mother’s little apartment. To bring lots of chocolates for her.

And for all the nice nurses too. Ha. That was a very good idea.

I was a very good delivery dog today. That is an important job. Good for us.

Then we went to see our all empty ponds. 

They are more interesting when they are all full up with water. 

And my friends the ducks are there too. Oh well.

When we got home the washing machine made my comfy kitchen bed as clean as could be.

But very clean beds do not smell so very comfy. Oh well.

I had my afternoon nap on it anyway. 

Last night when Niamh was all home and in her comfy bed Mister Holden asked her to go out for snacks.

Because he had to talk to Niamh all about his election at their university. Oh my goodness me. 

So they went and had milkshakes. Even in the very cold. Oh my goodness me. 

I do not think I want be in an election. I do not like to get up when I am very fast asleep. It is known. 

When Niamh got home she had a bath to get all warm again.

Before dinnertime. 

Some of our very very fast lady skaters won the very best medal.  All by themselves. Ha.

Good for them.

But before dinnertime Zita found the very noisy machine to clean our bedroom.

Because tomorrow lots of people are going to come to my house to do things for the new bathroom. Oh my goodness me.

Maybe even in our own bedroom. Oh dear. 

So tomorrow everybody has to get up very early. Even Craig and me. Oh my goodness me. 

We had spaghettis for our dinner. 

But it was just Craig and Zita and I.

Because Niamh had another get Mister Holden elected meeting. In the basement. Oh goodness me.

So Craig and Zita and I watched the detective from the other part of Ireland. 

The part without any of our cousins. 

Day Three Thousand Four and Ninety

It was another too cold outside day today.

So Zita and I had our together breakfast and then we went to our rascal ladies office.

Because it was go back to work Monday. Oh well.

Miss Sash drove Niamh to her doctor today.

And then Sash and Niamh cleaned Sash’s sometimes house. It was a bit very messy. Oh dear. 

Craig did not get up even a bit early. Ha. He just listened to his book for a long time. 

Today is Mister Saint Valentines very own day. 

That is the day when you know who loves you. Ha. 

Craig said I am our family’s valentine. 

Because everybody loves me. 

Even when I am a too much barking dog. Ha. Good for me. 

We have some boxes of chocolates. One for Craig’s mother. 

And another one for all the nice nurses at her little apartment. That was a good idea. 

Zita and I went for a lunchtime walk. And it was still very cold outside.

But we are very brave and we went anyway. Ha.

And when we got home and I was all warm again it was my lunch time.

And I got cheesie bits on top of my lunch.

Then I went to keep Zita company in our lovely warm office. Ha. 

I have my own comfy rug in our office. Just for me. 

So I stayed there all afternoon. 

Just in case Zita needed me right away. That is an important job. 

Then we had our together dinner. We had green beans too. 

But it was only Craig and Zita and I for our dinner.

Because Niamh was at a stretch every bit of yourself all over class. 

And when she got home she was as tired as can be. Oh dear. 

Craig and Zita and I watched the lady detective again. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Nine

We had a little sleep in today. 

Because it was our sleep in Sunday.

But when we got all awake it was too cold outside for a lovely good morning walk.

Even a very short one. Oh dear me.

So Zita and I had our breakfast and then Zita talked to her mother and father in way far away Dublin. 

It was not even a bit cold there. 

Their flowers are getting all ready to be beautiful. 

They have lots and lots of beautiful flowers in their backyard. 

After a while it was only very cold and Zita and I were all ready to go for our walk.

I even had all my boots on but then Craig need some help getting his new sock on.

So I had to be a very good waiting dog.

Being a good waiter is very hard when you have all your boots on and you are still inside. 

So when Craig was all up and awake Zita and I went for a long walk. Right away. 

And it was very sunny outside but it was still very cold. Oh my goodness me.

And we even got doctor Susan to go on our walk with us too. That was nice.

When we got home I was only a bit cold.

Because I had my very very warm red coat on. Ha.

Then it was time for my lunch and then I had my very nice nap.

But then our friend Brenda came to visit. 

So I had the rest of my nap right on top of Zita’s feet. In the living room. Ha.

Brenda lives right beside where my family used to live. 

Before I came to be their very best minder.

But now the house is too big. 

So she and Mister Rob are moving to a brand new apartment. Right on our busy street. Ha.

And then Miss Emily came to visit Niamh. 

And they had their coffee and tasty biscuits in the living room. 

And Mister Tom visited this afternoon to bring us brand new detective programs too. That was very nice. 

So I was very busy this afternoon. It is known. 

This evening Niamh is going to see Miss Sash.

Because Miss Sash is taking care of a house and a very very old little dog. 

Because the people are away in another country. 

And today is Miss Sash’s very first day in that house. Oh my goodness.

Before dinnertime zZita made my toes all neat and tidy.

Because I was so furry that I was slip sliding on the kitchen floor. Oh my goodness me.

And tonight is was the giant football game day too. Oh dear me.

So Craig and Zita and I had our dinner in the den and watched that game at the same time.

We had cheesie nachos. That was a very tasty dinner. Ha. 

I do not think that football games are so very interesting. It is known.

So I had a nice nap. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Eight

Everybody got up early today. 

But Zita and I did not go for a good morning walk.

Because it was raining outside. That was silly.

We did not want to be soggy so we just had our together breakfast and looked out the window.

Then Craig was all dressed too.

Because a new nurse came to my house to put on a brand new bandage.

She was a very good nurse and she did everything all right. Ha. 

So nothing hurt at all. Good for us.

But then when I looked out the window all the rain was all of a sudden just snow. 

And there was new all over everywhere snow. Oh my goodness me.

After the nice nurse went away my friend Niamh was all awake too.

Because it was her other day to work at the lovely store. 

The go fast car took her there because of the all of a sudden snow. 

But Zita did not come right back home.

Because she had important things to do. 

And she went to Mister IKEA’s store to look for some more beautiful tiles.

But they are for the floor tiles. We already got the for the wall tiles. Ha. Good for us.

When only Craig and I were here he had his next coffee and a cupcake. 

I had some of the bottom of the cupcake. 

Because the top was all covered in not for dogs chocolate. That was a good idea.

Then Craig and I talked to his old friends. On the flat computer. 

We were in the living room today so I could look out my watching window at the same time. 

And I saw one of the nasty way too noisy trucks. 

Right on my own street. And it had flags all over it. 

And it was not downtown. It was right in front of my watching window. Oh dear. 

So I fierce barked it all away. Ha. Good for me. 

Then after my lunch it was afternoon nap time. 

It is always nice to have a full up tummy when you have a lovely nap.

When Zita got back home she did not have any tiles. 

She had some lights for the bathroom instead. 

Because nobody wants to have a lovely bath in the as dark as night. It is known. 

Then it was time for our before dinner walk. 

We wanted to go before it got all dark again. And before it got way cold again. 

It is not so nice going for a walk in the very cold and dark. 

We even found Professor Jill but it was so cold we did not even go far.

And when I got home I was a Poppyscicle. 

But it was just the right time for our early dinner. 

So I sat on my comfy rug until I was not all frozen. Then I helped Zita make our dinner. 

Niamh went to Tarryn’s and Miss Anna’s apartment for dinner. 

That is why we had our early dinnertime.

It is Mister Aidan’s sing happy birthday day today. 

But everybody is still older than he is. Too bad for him. Oh well.

We watched another lady detective from Ireland. 

But not in Zita’s part of Ireland. Just in the other part. 

So we will not see any of our cousins. Oh well. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Seven

We had a nice quiet day today.

There were no broken pipes or silly dead birds anywhere. Ha.

It was another not cold outside day today. But it is very messy all over. 

So I stayed in our office to be Zita’s best assistant. 

Today is Niamh’s day to be at her nice university all day. Even until dinnertime.

So there was no lovely music in the basement today. Oh well. 

I did not have my good morning croissant with Craig this morning.

Because I was too busy helping Zita.

But I was all awake at lunchtime so I helped Craig with our round toasts.

We did not have any tasty jam today.

Because we ate all of it on our toasty treats. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

Then after my own lunch with chicken on top I went right back to our office. 

It was a very nice quiet day. And I did not get in any trouble today. That was good.

I was way too busy yesterday. Oh well.

Then my friend Zita had to empty her whole head so I took her on a nice walk. 

And then it started to be a bit snowy. Oh my goodness me.

But we went anyway. 

Because Zita and I are not even a bit afraid of snow. Ha. Good for us. 

But it was not so cold so I did not have to wear my red very warm coat.

Or even my rubber boots. Ha.

But I was a bit very dirty when I brought Zita home.

So I stayed in the kitchen until I was as dry as could be.

My friend Craig kept me company. 

Then I fell fast asleep.

Because it was just the right time for my afternoon nap. Ha. Good for me. 

But then my friend Zita needed my help. So I had my nap in our office.

Tonight Kathy had dinner with us. I had not seen her in a long time. Ha.

So Zita went to find her so they could go to the tasty grocery store.

And get lots of food for our dinner. That was a good idea.

But they were both soggy when they got back to my house. 

Because it was raining outside. That is not all right. My goodness me.

But Zita cooked the especially delicious sausages outside even in the rain. 

And Kathy and Niamh and Tarryn made lots of pastas and some salads too. That was a good idea. 

At dinnertime everybody talked instead of eating. Ha. That was a silly idea. 

I always eat as soon as I can. It is known. 

We did not watch our detectives tonight.

Because we had guests. Ha. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Six

We had a very busy day today.

Zita was going to go to her downtown office but things were too busy here. 

Our outside pipe broke and some water got in the window. In the basement. 

Because it is not even freezing outside today. That is silly. 

So Zita had to fix our outside pipe. 

But when she came in the side yard there was a dead as could be bird. 

It was all dead because I caught it stealing our berries. 

But I got in trouble anyway. Too bad for me. 

And then Zita had to make the side yard neat and tidy again. 

Without an all dead bird. 

And I had to stay in the house. 

And last night Craig and Zita had to take the bandage off his foot.

Because the not so good nurse put it on wrong. Oh my goodness me.

I knew he was a not such a very good nurse. 

That is why I just stayed beside Craig when he was here. 

Then Zita put a brand new bandage on the right way. Ha. 

And his foot was not way too sore anymore. Ha.

Then everybody went to fast asleep. 

And this morning when Craig was all awake he made Zita a very very fluffy coffee. 

Because she had a way too busy moving.

Then I went in the living room to stay beside my friend Craig. To mind him. 

I cannot get in trouble when I am just minding Craig. It is known. 

I got peanut butter and cheesie bits on my lunch. It was very delicious. 

Just like Craig’s peanut butter and cheese sandwich. Ha. 

Then I had my after lunchtime nap. 

Now we have to decide which nice tile will be as beautiful as can be in our basement bedroom. 

Because Zita says they will be there forever. Oh my. 

I did not say anything so I could not be wrong. Ha. That was a good idea. 

When my afternoon nap was over Zita went to do more important errands.

And I stayed here to look out my watching window with Craig.

When Zita came back she had another not broken pipe. And it worked as good as could be. Ha.

But she had to go out again. 

Because we decided what beautiful tiles we are going to get and she went to the store.

So nobody could get them before us. 

And when she came home we had lots of boxes of the most beautiful tiles. Just for our bathroom. 

When Niamh came home from university Tarryn was with her. 

Because they have the very same class today. Ha.

I helped Zita with our very tasty dinnertime. 

We had chicken all wrapped up in very skinny bread. With lots of vegetables too. 

It was a make it yourself dinner.

Maybe it was a Mister IKEA’s dinner. Maybe.

Our very fast skating lady won another prize. 

And a man went down a hill so fast they gave him a prize too. 

And he only had one ski. And he did not fall over and crash.  Good for us. 

Last night we watched the last of the lady detective in Dublin program. 

But we did not see any of our own cousins. Anywhere. Oh well. 

So Craig will have to find a brand new detective program for us to watch together. 

Maybe it will be one of Mister Tom’s programs. 

Day Three Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Five

We got up very early this morning.

And it was our do not go to work Wednesday.

But Zita had to go downtown to her make her beautiful store to get her hair all beautiful again.

But she had to go very early. Oh dear.

And Niamh was up early too. 

Because today was her work at the lovely store day. And she walked there. All by herself.

It was not so cold outside today.

And Craig did not have even a little sleep in.

Because today was the day the nurse came to put a new bandage on his foot.

But it was not Nurse Jesse or Nurse Amanda. It was another Nurse. 

He was not so good as Nurse Jesse. So I stayed with Craig. Just in case. Ha. Good for me.

When Zita came home from downtown she brought a very long croissant.

And it was a croissant from a bake delicious things bakery. And it was a from France bakery. 

So it was a very very delicious croissant. And Craig gave me a crunchy end. 

Because we are friends. Ha. That was a tasty treat.

Before the Mister Nurse came here Zita and I were building the box from Mister IKEA’s store.

I was a very big help. 

Being a big help is my very favourite job. It is known.

And after the Nurse left Zita and I went for our long lunchtime walk. 

I like lunchtime walks because it is not all dark outside at lunchtime. 

Walks in the very dark are not as nice as in the daytime walks. It is known.

When I got home I was a bit soggy again. Oh well. 

Craig and I had a very big cinnamon bun from that from France bakery. 

That was Craig’s lunch. Ha.

After our lunch Zita and the black car had to go and do lots off important errands.

They had to get some books for Niamh’s university and look at beautiful tiles for the downstairs bathroom. 

She took her cinnamon bun with her. 

So she would not starve all away when she was doing her errands. 

Zita and the go fast car were gone a long time.

So I had a nice relax this afternoon and minded Craig when he read his book. That was an easy job. 

When Zita got home I stayed in the kitchen in case she needed my help making dinner.

Sometimes things fall down on to the floor.

And I have to get them right away before Zita slips on them and falls down and gets hurt. That is an important job. 

Then it was time for the go fast car to find Niamh and bring her back home.

For our dinner. We had spaghettis for our dinner.

And I got some of Zita’s own made delicious sauce on top of my dinner. Ha.

Then it was time for Niamh's squeaky clean bath. 

And she had make you smell beautiful powder right in the bathtub. Ha. 

After Zita and I played Rope it was time for our detective program. 

So I got my own pillow and had my nap in the den with Craig and Zita.
