Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Nineteen

We had a very quiet day today.

Zita and I were so busy that I did not even have time to help Craig with his breakfast cookies. Goodness me.

And we are working on our do not go to work Wednesday.

Because we are not going to work tomorrow. 

It was a beautiful day all day. And it was not even too hot.

But I did not have a nice outside nap.

Because we were way too busy. 

Niamh’s fast bicycle took her to the lovely store this morning. 

And it was just the right kind of day for a fast ride on your bicycle. Ha. 



This afternoon my friend Tara came here to cook an especially delicious dinnertime for everybody. 

And it is going to be in my own house. Oh my goodness me. 

Maybe there will be extras. Maybe. 

And Mister Kirian will be here. And Kathy and Richard too. 

For a together dinner. That was a good idea.

And this morning Zita’s father went back to his own house. 

So he could have his own tea and toasts with his own Logan’s berries jam.  That is a good idea.

Hospital’s do not know how to make toasts so very well. 

They are always thin and soggy toasts. 

And the have pretend jams. Not delicious from France jams. Oh dear me. 

And when I went to my nice hospital there was not even one good morning toasts. 

That is why you should only go to hospitals if you are a bit broken inside. It is known.

Yesterday Craig and I saw filled up to the top cars. 

Because our nice university is going to start very soon. 

So all the students are looking for some very small apartments. 

But there are not so very many. Oh my goodness me. 

Mister Paul came here for a visit on his bicycle.

But he did not stay very long.

Because all of a sudden there was bouncing rain all over. And even some scary thunder. 



But Zita had to go downtown anyway.

And her go fast car took her right there. 

So she would not get all soggy.

But I think Mister Paul got as soggy as could be. Oh dear me.

I went into our office. Right underneath Zita’s desk. 

Because the thunder cannot see me when I am underneath that desk. Ha. Good for me. 

Craig could not get underneath the desk so I minded him so he would not be too scared. 

Then it all stopped. And Miss Tara was here. To make us a very delicious dinner.

And she made by herself pastas. Oh my goodness.

I helped. 



I did not eat my lunch.

Because of the scary thunder. Oh well.

I got extra treats on my dinner. 

Then the thunder came back so I got up on our comfy sofa. 



I am not so scared when I am not on the floor.

And then Kathy was here and Zita too. 

And then Niamh and Miss Tarryn were here too. 

But they were as soggy as could be. 

I was not so scared when my friends were here. That is good. 

So we had a giant together dinner and we needed to get another dinning room table.

Because there were lots and lots of us here for our special dinner. 

So I was very busy minding everybody. That is my best job. 

We did not watch any detective programs tonight.

Because we were way too busy eating. Ha. 




Tuesday, 30 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighteen

It was not such a nice sunny day today. 

There were way too many flat clouds all over. 

So the sun could not see anybody at all. 

But we went on a little walk before Zita’s bicycle took her away to the other rascal ladies office. 

Then I had a nap in front of our bedroom.

But it was not such a long nap today.

Because Craig only had a very very little sleep in before he had to have his too much coffee. 

So I kept him company in the living room.



Then Niamh was all awake.

But her very fast bicycle was already waiting to take her to the lovely store.

So she would not be late. 

Then it was a Poppy and Craig day.

Craig thinks it is a Craig and Poppy day. Ha. That is not right.

Sometimes people are very silly. Ha. 

When he had his next coffee he made our together toasts. 

Sometimes it takes Craig a very long time before he makes his next another coffee. Oh well.

This morning a very loud fire truck stopped right on my corner. 

But I told it that it was way too loud. 



So it went away. Ha.

There were some brand new helper dogs practicing going across the street today.

And they were right on my street. So I watched them. 


And they did not even fall off the sidewalk.

Sometimes I am so busy smelling everywhere I fall right off the sidewalk.

But Zita never laughs at me. 

Because we are best friends. Ha. Good for us.

I had yogurts and chicken on my delicious lunchtime. Ha. 

Then I helped Craig read his book in the living room.

Emmet was very busy writing today and he had a cat helper. Oh my goodness me.


I do not think he was in his very little apartment today. 

His little bedroom is not big enough for a nice chair. Oh my goodness. 

This afternoon I stayed in my office on my own rug.



So I could mind all our important work while Zita was way downtown. That is an important job for me.

When Zita’s not so very fast bicycle brought her home she was only a bit soggy.

Craig and I only went out one time so I could smell the wind. But we did not get soggy either. Ha.

But it was too rainy to cook outside tonight but Mister Tony sent one of his friends with a Pizza. Ha.

That was a tasty idea.

Tonight Niamh did not go to hard questions at the restaurant 

So she could have Mister Tony’s delicious pizza with us. 

So we had a lovely together pizza dinner. Just us. Ha. 

And I got a very crunchy bit. 

After dinnertime we watched the lady detective from Ireland. 

And she was not even there. She was in Holland instead. Oh dear me. 

Monday, 29 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventeen

It was a very sunny morning.

But we did not go on our good morning to everybody walk today.

Because my front foot was a bit too sore.

So we had a together breakfast and looked out my watching window at everything. 

Then it was time to go to our office.

Because it was go to work Monday and Zita and I were very very busy this morning. 

Craig did not have a nice sleep in either.

Because it was time for his first too much coffee. 

I could not help him with toasts this morning because I was too busy at work.

So he did not have his toasts right away. Ha. Good for him.

Then when Zita was having an empty your head walk Craig had his next too much coffee.

And he had cookies instead of toasts. 



But I helped him anyway way. Good for me.

They were very crunchy cookies from far away Holland. Ha. 

Those are good cookies. 

Then I kept Craig company until Zita came home.



And we went back to our lots of important work office. 

This morning Zita and I put up one of our very beautiful paintings.

Right on the wall behind the two very fierce Scotsmen badgers. That was a good idea. 

When I had my lunchtime Craig was listening to our Emmet and Mister Adam.

And they were on they computer so everybody in the world could listen to them too.



Not just us. Ha. 

And they were talking about how you have to be very careful when people talk about the very old Irish stories.

Because some nasty people will not tell the truth when they tell those very old stories. 

They want you to think that the stories say they are better than everybody else. Oh dear. 

That is not all right. And not even true. Oh my goodness me. 

And that is why Emmet’s stories are only always true. 

I know that because Emmet is my friend. Ha. Good for us.

So those nasty people better not come to my house.

Because I am the most very fierce minder dog ever.  

And Craig said it is all right to bite those people all over.  Ha. Too bad for them.

When Zita had some important on her computer meetings I had my afternoon nap in the hall.

When the be very quiet meetings were all over I went back into our office.

So I could be Zita’s best helper. 

Today Zita’s father was in a hospital in way far away Dublin. 

I did not know that. Nobody told me. Oh dear me.

And he had a little operation. But it is all over now. That is good. 

But he is going to sleep there tonight. Oh dear.

Maybe he will have to eat nasty food. Oh dear.

When Craig’s legs got all broken and he went to the hospital Zita brought him own made tasty food.

So he would not starve all away into nothing. 

But Zita’s father only has to stay there until tomorrow. 

He does not have to stay for a long time.

Because nothing is just all broken. So he will not starve. That is good.

When he gets home he will have lots of Irish tea and tasty toasts with his own made jams. 

Then he will be all better again. It is the rule. 

We had lasagna in the den tonight. 

So we could watch our new detective program.

And the lady detective is in Ireland. 

But not where any of my family lives.

So I did not see any of our cousins. Oh well. 







Sunday, 28 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixteen

I had a very nice morning today.

Because it was a beautiful as can ever be morning outside.

Zita and I had a lovely all around walk. And I could not find even one sheep cloud.

I think my friend Shadow chased them all away. 

Shadow was a very fast sheep minding dog. Ha.

There was an aeroplane cloud in the sky.

But Shadow could not catch that cloud.

Because aeroplanes are way too fast for dogs.

Even for living in heaven dogs. Oh well. 

Then Zita went up to the busy street to visit the nice farmers and buy lots more peaches. Ha.

So I stayed here and minded Craig and Niamh.

Craig was just watching the little cars race.

But it was not so interesting today because his car crashed right away. Oh goodness me.

When Zita came home we went to our patio and Zita sat on our wonderful swing.

And I minded her. In the beautiful sunshine.

We put our lovey keep the sun away umbrella up.



So we would not get too too hot. 

Zita even brought my own water bowl so I would not get thirsty. Ha. 

Then Niamh was all awake too.

So she came outside too. And we sat there for a long time. Ha. 

And when I came in it was my own lunchtime. 

But just when I was finished my lunch Professor Jill came for a visit. 



She had a very big shady hat on today. Oh my goodness me.

And then Zita and Professor Jill went outside so Niamh talk about Professor Jill’s flat computer. Oh my.

I stayed in the house because Craig made us toasts. 

We had round toasts and jam for our lunchtime. 



That was a nice idea.

Because he did not have toasts this morning because of the little cars crashing. Oh well. 

Then a very loud police truck went down my street.

And did not even stop at the Stop Right Here sign. Oh dear me.

So I fierce barked at it. Ha. Good for me. 

Then it was time for my after lunchtime nap.

Professor Jill told Niamh that it was way too beautiful outside so she should go to a beach.

So Niamh did. With Miss Sash too. Ha. 



My lunchtime nap was not so long because I had to help Zita with all the brand new peaches.

So we could put then into the frozen as could be refrigerator. 

So we can have delicious full of peaches hot desserts when it is nasty cold outside. Ha. 

Then Craig and Zita went for their adventure walk.

And I went back to fast asleep.



So Craig and Zita went to my favourite smelly store. 

Mister Nicastro’s delicious cheese and tasty treats store. Ha.

And Craig had an icy lemonade and Craig and Zita had a stuffed full of cheesie cream bun. Ha. 

That is always a good store to go too. 

I go there if it is not too hot or too cold. I only go when it is just nice. Ha.

When they got back home it was a bit too hot so they were a little bit melted. 

So everybody had a relax.

Later Zita went to the grocery store.

Because we did not have even one lettuce. Oh goodness gracious me.

But when she came home we did.

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

Because Niamh was still at the beach with Miss Sash. 

Craig had to find a new detective program for tonight.

Because last night we watched the three nice detectives until the end. 

Maybe it will be a very quiet detective program so I can have a nice nap. Maybe. 




Saturday, 27 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifteen

Zita and I got up early this morning so she could talk to her mother and father.

They were at their house in far away Dublin today.

They were not by the giant ocean now. 

They are back in their own garden so they can take care of all their beautiful flowers. 



And maybe have a little nap. 

If they are not too busy. Maybe. 



So when Zita talked I minded her and had a lovely good morning nap.

And just when Craig got up we went on a lovely walk.

Because it was a beautiful as could be day today. There was not even one cloud in the sky. Ha.

We met my friend professor Jill on our walk so she came with us. That was nice.

And when we got home Craig was all awake.

Because it is his old friends coffee Saturday. Right in our beautiful park.

Then Niamh was all awake too.

Because she was working at the lovely store today. 

And her fast as the wind bicycle took her there. And she was not even a bit late. Ha.

When Craig came home he was a bit melted. 

But he had a brand new detective program from Mister Tom. That was nice.

And then he had his next coffee and a sticky bun. Right in the dining room. 

And that was his lunchtime. Oh my goodness. Sticky buns for lunch. 

Then Zita and the fast car went out to do her on Saturday errands. 

I stayed here because it was my nap time. Ha.

When she came home I woke up and it was time for my own lunch. Ha. 

And because it was still a beautiful day Zita and her not so fast bicycle went for a see everything ride. 



So I had my after lunchtime nap. 

And right in the middle of my first dinner Zita came home. Ha.

And it was time for Craig and Zita’s dinner too. And they had a delicious used dinner. 

Niamh did not have time to have dinner with us tonight.

Because she was meeting her friends who worked at the centre with her. Right after her work. 

Craig watched a bit of the football game. 

To see if his team can win tonight. Oh well.

Then we watched the funny detectives. That is a good program.

But I went to fast asleep until it was our bedtime. Oh well. 


Friday, 26 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Fourteen

It was a very quiet day for me today.

Zita and I did not go for our good morning walk today.

Because it was a bouncing rain morning. 

Zita had to hold the umbrella before I would go outside to check my neighbourhood. Oh my goodness me.

And Zita and the go fast car took Niamh to the centre building for her work.

And she went in her pyjamas. Her Scotsman’s pyjamas. Oh my goodness.

Because today was Pyjamas day for all the children. 

And they are going to watch movies and eat treats in their pyjamas. Ha. 

I do not need pyjamas. 

Because I am very furry. It is known.

When Craig was all awake he made a very fluffy coffee for Zita.

And Craig and I had a very sticky bun for our own breakfast. 

This morning when we did not go for a walk Zita had a muffin instead. 

But it was all filled up with chocolate muffin. Oh well. 

Then Zita had lots of errands to do on the telephone so I had my after breakfast nap.

Today is the special day all over the world for dogs. Ha. That is a very good day. 

But I did not know that. 

So I went to my watching window and told everybody else.  Ha.

And Craig put my picture on the computer.



So I could wish everybody everywhere a Happy Dog day. That was a nice idea. 

After my lunchtime I helped Zita make our very delicious lasagna.

Because I am Zita’s very best kitchen helper. That is my best job. 

There is lots and lots of very delicious cheese in our lasagnas. 

Sometimes I get extras. Ha.

Then I went in the den to keep Craig company. That is a good job too. 


Then when the lasagna was cooking inside the stove Craig and Zita went for an adventure walk.

But I stayed right in the kitchen to mind our lasagna. Ha. 

When they came back home it was time for my afternoon nap.

So Zita went to do some errands and find a brand new glass for out outside lights. 

But I was not even asleep when my friend Niamh got home. 

Because I was helping Zita in the kitchen. 

Today Zita cooked some brand new chicken. And it was just for Poppy chicken.

Maybe because it is that for Dog’s day. Maybe. 

I got some. And it was still hot. Ha. That was a tasty treat for me.

Miss Tarryn came to my house for dinner.

Because she smelled the cooking lasagna. Ha.

So we had a together dinner with Miss Tarryn too.

Last night we watched the three funny detectives. They are not such very good detectives. 

But it is not even a bit scary and there is a secret elevator. And secret hallways. Ha. 

That is an interesting apartment.

Then it was time for my peanut butter treat and my dessert. 

I nearly always have dessert before I go to bed. 

Unless I am too tired. 

Thursday, 25 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirteen

I had a very nice and quiet day today.

Because it is our Thursday Craig and Poppy Day.

Because everybody else was very busy working.

I had a nice walk before Zita’s bicycle took her to downtown.

And I got hugs from my friend Niamh before she took lots of children to a nice lake.

And it was a very nice day to go to a lake. Ha.



Craig almost had a big sleep in by mistake. 

But I barked very loudly at some men on my corner and he woke right up. Good for me.



Then I had a very nice morning nap. 

When Craig had his lunchtime peanut butter and honey sandwich I was a bit fast asleep.

But when he had his dessert I was wide awake and I helped him. Ha. 

We had a tasty crunchy cookie for our dessert today.

Then Mister Paul came for his cold drinks visit. 

And we all went outside into my side yard.

But then I was a bit hot.

So I went back inside and had my after lunchtime nap. Ha. 

Then Mister Paul came in a fixed the old light Zita found.

So now it works just perfectly. Ha. That was a nice thing to do. 

Then I went back to fast asleep. 

Because it was a Craig and Poppy day. A good day for a nice relax. 

Niamh came home but as fast as could be she changed all her clothes.

And when she left my house she had on a very beautiful swishing all around dress.

Because she is going to a party tonight. 

Up on the busy street. 

In a nice restaurant.

And it is a party for all the people who work at our centre building. Oh my goodness me.

So you have to wear your most beautiful clothes. And smell nice too. It is the rule. 

Wednesday, 24 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Twelve

After I had my breakfast Zita and I went for a very nice all around here walk this morning.

We went even before Niamh was all awake and went to her other job at our centre building.

Craig did not have even a very little sleep in today.

Because a lady came to look at his foot so that they can find a comfy sock.

Instead of bandages. Oh my goodness me.

But they had to take the bandages off so she could see it.

But the nice nurse will come this afternoon to fix the bandages.

After that lady left Craig and I had our round breakfast toasts. Ha.

Then I kept Craig company when he had his another coffee. Ha.


Zita went into our garden but only for a little while.

Because Craig and Zita went for their adventure walk up to the busy street.

So they could have tasty treats before it got way too hot outside. 

When they got home Zita’s bicycle took her on a nice ride to shady places.

So she would not melt. 

I had my lovely lunchtime nap. 

I was just starting my tasty lunch when Miss Brenda arrived for a visit.

So I stopped my lunch.

Because you cannot just eat your lunch when you have visitors. It is the rule. 

So I stayed in the living room with Craig and Zita and Miss Brenda.

But everybody Miss Brenda knows was sick in the summer. 

Except for us. That was good. 

And when she went back to her new apartment Craig put even more chicken on my lunch.

So I would remember to finish it all up. Ha.

Then the nice nurse came to put band new bandages on Craig’s foot. I minded him. 

And when Niamh came home she was all tired out.

Because today she and lots of little children went to a giant swimming pool with slides everywhere. 

All day. Oh my goodness me. 

We had hamburgers for our together dinner. With crunchy lettuce too. Ha.

Then we watched our new detective program. 

It is all about three funny detectives in a very old apartment building.

And there are always dead people in that building. Oh my goodness me. 




Tuesday, 23 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Eleven

After everybody went to work it was a Craig and Poppy Day.

But Zita and I had a nice walk before her bicycle took her to the other office downtown.

And then Niamh went to mind lots of little children at our centre building. 

So I had a little sleep in with my friend Craig. 

And when he was as awake as could be we had our together breakfast.

We did not have croissants today.

Because we ate them all. Oh my goodness.

So we had the round toasts with lots of jam.

The especially delicious from France jam. Ha. That was a good idea.

But Craig was very slow sharing the toasts and I had to remind him. Oh dear.


Then it was time for my before lunchtime nap.

So I went into our office so I could guard all our important papers. Ha. 

Sometimes people take important papers away with them. 

And the police come and take everything away. Then they are in trouble. Ha. 

That is why I always guard our office when Zita is very busy downtown. 

After I had my own tasty lunch I helped Craig with his lunchtime.

We had brand new delicious from just around here honey.

So we made a very fat peanut butter and honey sandwich to share. Ha. That was a very good idea. 

Then I had a nice beside Craig relax. 



Craig went outside. But only for a very little while.

Because it started to rain. I did not go out. 



I went back to guard my office. 


That is my important job today. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita was not even late today. 

But then she had another on before dinner computer meeting. So I kept her company. 

Then Niamh was home too. So all my family was home. Except for my friend Emmet. 

Because he is still at his old university.

In way far away Ireland writing his giant story. Too bad for us. 

Our meeting was very long tonight so we had our dinner in the den.

And we had sausage hotdogs. Ha. 

We had our late dinner in the den so we could watch the detective program before it was our bedtime.

Niamh and her university friends went to the hard questions restaurant tonight. 

Maybe they will win tonight. Maybe. 








Monday, 22 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Eleven

Only Craig had a sleep in this morning.

Everybody else had to be already wide awake.

Because it was go to work Monday. Oh well.

But we went for a very long very nice walk all around so we would be all ready for our work. 

And Niamh came home from the cottage too. 

Even before we started our work.

Because she was working today. My goodness me.

We did not know that. 

So she left as soon as she got here.

Because she had to go to our giant centre building for her other job. 

Craig had croissants for his late breakfast. I smelled them.

But I could not help him today. 

Because we were way too busy with rascal ladies work. Too bad for him.

So he had to have his breakfast all by himself. 

So he listened to soft music on the music machine. I heard it. 

But I was way too busy to be his best company. Oh well. 

At lunchtime time Zita and her bicycle went for a empty your heard ride around our neighbourhood.

I had my lunchtime nap in the kitchen.

But I did have an outside relax today.

Because it was still too hot for nice relaxes. 



And when Zita got home it was time for us to go to work again.

Zita put my comfy duvet on the floor of our office.

Just in case I needed to have a little nap. Ha. 



That was a good idea. 

I have to be very quiet when we are having on the computer meetings.

And I am always very quiet when I am fast asleep. Ha. Good for me. 

When we were call finished our work Zita went to do some errands and I had my first dinner. 

When Niamh got home was just as soggy as could be. 

So she had a nice shower so she would be a clean soggy Niamh. Ha. 

Craig and Zita and Niamh had spaghettis and tasty meatballs for their together dinner.

But I got some of the special just for pastas cheese too.

And after the rope game I had my detective program nap. Ha.




Sunday, 21 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Ten

We had a little sleep in today.

Because it was sleep in Sunday.

We went for a very nice after breakfast walk and it was not too hot. 

And Craig did not have a big sleep in.

Because we had brand new croissants. Ha.

When Craig was very busy making our together breakfast Zita went outside to our garden.

So she could clean things and make everything nest and tidy. 

I minded her from my from windows.



But before Craig had his first too much coffee Zita went for an adventure.

And it was an on the canal in a boat adventure. With Miss Bethany. Oh my goodness.

They went in paddle yourself boats. 

Right in our canal and even past our nice university. 



I did not know our university had a canal too. Goodness me.

But I could not go with her and mind her. 

Because it was an only room for one boat.



Too bad for her.

So I stayed here and Craig and I had croissants.

And we did not even have anything on them. 

Because they were so brand new they were by themselves very delicious. Ha.

Then I had my middle of the morning nap. 



Right beside my friend Craig. So he would not be lonely. That is an easy job for me. 

It was a bit too hot outside for me to have an outside nap. 


Niamh is at the cottage with Miss Tarryn. Maybe the mosquitoes will not find her this time. Maybe.

When Zita got back home it started to rain. But she did not get even a bit soggy. Ha. 

But she had a squeaky clean shower anyway. 

Then she did some rascal ladies work. 

And it was still our do not work Sunday. Oh my goodness me. 

Then she went to get us more delicious groceries. 

When she was gone Craig had some chips and I had my first dinner.

Niamh stayed at the cottage again tonight.

So maybe they will go swimming again. Maybe. 

We had very delicious sausages for our dinner. 

And when we were all finished I had my second dinner.

And then it was time for our detectives program. 

And for my after dinner relax. Ha.






Saturday, 20 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Nine

We did not get up so very early this morning.

That was a good idea.

After we looked our our windows Zita talked to her mother in so far away Dublin.

So I minded her on our comfy rug in our beautiful painted living room. 

Because this is his Saturday morning breakfast with his old friends in the park Craig did not have a sleep in either.

Then Mister Paul came to borrow the comfy outside chair so they could go to find their friends. 

At the same time Niamh came upstairs and she was not even a little bit awake. 

Because she did not get home until nearly the morning. Oh my goodness me.

And she had to go to the lovely store right away. Too bad for her.

After a while Zita and I went for our before lunchtime walk.

And it was very hot outside.



But when we were nearly back home Craig and Mister Paul were coming home too. Ha.

But we were all nearly melted all away.

So Craig and Zita and Mister Paul had lots of water with ice so they would be cool again

I just went to fast asleep on the cool kitchen floor. 



Then Zita went out in her car to find more groceries for our dinnertimes. 

I just stayed on the cool floor. 

One time I went outside but it was away too hot for my own feet.



So I came back inside right away. 

And went back to fast asleep but this time in the living room on my very comfy rug. Ha.



I have lots of very comfy places where I can have nice naps. 

I think everybody should have comfy places for their own lovely relax. With lovely soft  pillows too. 

When Zita came home she had lots and lots of delicious food.

Because she went to the too much of everything store. Ha.

It is only Craig and Zita and I for dinner.

Because Niamh and Tarryn are going to Tarryn’s own aunt’s cottage. 

And they are going to sleep there.

So they can be fast awake early and swim in the lake even before breakfast. Ha. 

We watched a brand new detective program tonight.

Because we watched all of our last one last night. 











Friday, 19 August 2022

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Eight

I had a quiet day today. 

We went for a before breakfast walk before it got too hot. That was a good idea.

Because it was another very hot all the time day today. 

But today was the spic and span the house day. 

So I just stayed on the cool stones in my side yard. 

Until the floors were are clean as could be. 

Then Niamh went to see Miss Sash and they brought us back some tasty donuts.

Then they went for an adventure drive in the noisy Jeep. Ha.

After I had my lunch Craig and Zita went up to the busy street.

To have a together lunchtime. 

But when they got home Craig was a bit melted.

I was not even a bit too hot.

Because I stayed right here in my comfy cool house. 



Not in the too hot outside. 

So Then I had my first afternoon nap. Ha.

Zita went to visit Craig’s mother in her little up the street apartment. 

But she went in her nice and cool fast car. So she did not melt like Craig.

Maybe she will remember somethings today. Maybe. 

But when Zita came home she said Craig’s mother could only remember about ironing. Oh well. 

I got very tasty yogurt on top of my first dinner tonight. 

Yogurt is just like melted ice cream. 

Sometimes Craig has ice cream when we watch the detectives.

When he is finished I always lick the bowl as clean as could be. Ha.

That is a very tasty job for me. 

There is a football game tonight up on the busy street. Even in the so hot. 

All those people will be melted when they get home. Ha. Too bad for them.

Before our dinner the cars were already getting all lost. Oh my goodness me.

And the catching cars trucks were here too. Oh dear. 

When Niamh got home there were cars everywhere looking for a nice spot to park.

When they look for a nice place for parking they do not look for people crossing the street.

And sometimes those people get very angry and get very loud at those drivers. 

Sometimes right on my own corner. 



But then I loud bark at them so they will be polite.

Because it is my corner. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Sometimes those cars park way too close to my corner. 



And then the catching cars trucks take them away. Oh my goodness me. 

It was only Craig and Zita and me for our dinner tonight.

But I was Zita’s very best kitchen helper. So I got thank you treats. 

Good for me.

Niamh went out for dinner with Mister SD and his friends. 

We watched a bit of the football game. To see if they might win. 

But they did not. Oh well.

Then I had a nice in front of the television nap. Ha.

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Seven

Zita had to get up very very early this morning.

Because she had to go downtown to her other office.

So a man can give everybody new telephones.

But I could not not help so I had a nice nap with Craig in our bedroom.

Then Niamh was fast awake so I helped her with her breakfast.

And then I took her for a lovely walk around until she was all awake. Ha. 

It was way too early to go on a walk with Zita this morning. 

So that is why I took Niamh instead.

And when Craig was all dressed Niamh went to work at our big centre building. 

Because that is her other in the summertime job. 

After his too much coffee Craig was a bit busy putting all our lots of books back. 

And all the very interesting things on the very tall shelf in the dining room. 

And last night Zita put the comfy living room rug back. That was a good idea for me. 



And then Craig brought Mister Furrgus and Mister Festis back to their special place.

On top of the music machines. 

That smelly skunk does not come here all the time when they are here.

Because they are very fierce Scotsmen badgers. 

And they have very pointy swords too. Ha. 

They used to have very dangerous fast shooting rifles.

But Zita said they could not have them in the house. 

Because it would scare our visitors. 

They hid them in the garden. Just in case. I saw them. Ha. 

After I had my lunch Craig and I had a peanut butter and jam sandwich. 

In the living room and not in the den today. 



Because nearly everything is back in the right place.

Except for our beautiful pictures.

Because that paint has to be as dry as can be before the pictures can go back on the new walls. Ha.

I did not know that. Oh well. 

We went outside for just a bit. But we got too hot nearly right away.

Because it was another a bit too hot afternoon.



So we went back in the house and Craig listened to music on the different music machine. 

I had a very nice nap on the kitchen floor where it was nice and cool. Ha. 

Then Niamh came home.

Because she was all finished helping at our centre building.

So I woke up so I could listen to her adventure stories. Ha. That is my best job. 

Then after a while the very fast bicycle and Niamh went for an adventure ride. 

I went back to my afternoon nap.

It is very important to have nice naps. 

Because maybe your family might need your very best help. 

And you cannot be such a big help if you are way tired. It is known. 

When Niamh got home she was melted and had to have cold water right away. Oh dear.

That is why I had my naps inside today. 

But after she was not so hot she and her fast bicycle went to visit Miss Sash. 

And a little while later the not fast bicycle brought Zita home. Ha. 

When she got home she went right away to our garden and got some brand new green beans.

I got some too. Ha. 

There was only Craig and Zita and me at the dining room table tonight. 

So we had all the used food. 

And I got chicken on my second dinner. 

Because I was a very big help today. 

Then it was time for our detective program.

But Craig had to find a new one.

Because we watched all of the other one last night. Oh well.

Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Six

I took Zita on a lovely walk this morning.

We went up to our busy street to visit our nice bank.

But it was not open because it was very early.

So none of my friends were there and I did not get my treat today. I was a bit sad. 

But it was a lovely day anyway. Ha. 

After Niamh had her breakfast she went to the lovely store on her very fast bicycle.

Then Zita went outside to use our now very sharp cut the grass machine so I stayed inside.

Because it might chop off all my toes by mistake.

Then the bandage nurse came here and Miss Pam too. All at the same time.

We had a very busy morning. 

But it was so nice this morning I had my before lunchtime nap outside in my side yard.

And Zita and her go fast car went to do some important errands.

Craig just stayed in the den so he would not get painted. Ha. 

I did not stay outside for a long time in the afternoon. 



Because it got too hot for me.

So I only went out to scare away those noisy aeroplanes. Too bad for them.

We had a very quiet morning today.

Last night Miss Emily came to my house. When it was my bedtime. 

But she did not come in for a visit. 

Because she and Niamh sat on our lovely swing and talked for a long time. In the dark. Oh my goodness me.

But the smelly skunk did not come back. So they were not all smelly. Ha. 

I went back to fast asleep. Ha..

In the afternoon Miss Pam was all finished and she took away all her painting things.

And Zita put some of our lovely furniture back to where it should be. 



But not my very comfy rug. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

And our dinning room table was empty again. 

So we can have real dinnertimes again. That is good.

But Craig changed some of his black music machines. And even lots of wires. 

I do not know why. Maybe it is a secret. Maybe. 



Music machines have too many messy wires. Oh my goodness me.

I stayed as safe as could be nearly in the kitchen. Ha. 



Zita put the curtains in the clean the clothes machine. 

Because when we took them down all of a sudden they were dirty. Oh my goodness me. 

We had rolled up chicken for our together dinner. 

Then Craig had to fix the music machines again. 

Two more times. Oh my goodness me.

Because of the too many wires. And he was not so very happy. Oh well. 

Then Niamh went downstairs for her after dinner relax.

And Craig and Zita and I watched our detective program. 

Until it was our bedtime.
