Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Nine

We had a very busy day.

Last night Niamh did not sleep in her own comfy bed. She went out way late. 

She was awake all night. At her other friend's house. 

They had to help one of her dance a lot friends write to all the nice universities. Before today started. That is good. 

It took a long long time. It is nice to have friends. When you need help. It is known. She will be very all tired tonight. I will keep her feet all comfy warm. 

Zita had another meeting this morning. An eat your breakfast at a restaurant meeting. That is silly. 

So we only went for a little walk this morning.

Craig and I had cheese toastys for our breakfast. By ourselves. Instead of toasts. That is good. 

When Zita got home we shoveled all the snow away. For the newspapers. I was a big help.

I can push the snow way far away. With my nose. Ha. Good for me. Then I am a bit soggy. Oh well. 

Today is the day all our newspapers come. In the very big truck. I did not bark at the nice men. Not even once. Ha. Good for me.

When all the nice men where here I learned how to open our back door. All by myself. It is not so hard. Ha. 

Now I can be a big help. Even more. Ha. Good for me. Zita was way surprised. Craig too. Ha.

We had even more blow all around snow. Last night. Oh well. Mister Kirian came to take it all away. I barked at him. I forgot I he was my friend. He had a hat on. Oh well. 

Lots of people came to get our newspapers. To give to all their friends. I did not bark so much at them today. That is good.

Zita and I went for our nice walk this afternoon. All the way to the our very busy street. 

We went to the bank store. The one where they give nice polite dogs tasty treats. 

I always get treats. Sometimes two. Ha. Good for me. 

Emmet is very busy. He has to learn all new old Latin words. And remember them. Oh well. 

We watched the old detectives last night. I guarded everybody. On the comfy rug. In the den. Ha. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Eight

We had lots of windy snow yesterday. Even last night. When I was all fast asleep. Oh dear. 

The giant throw the snow away machines came on my street last night. I nearly did not bark at them at all. Good for me.

Zita drove Niamh to her dance a lot school and Emmet to his nice university. It is a not so nice day outside. Snowy hills. In everybody's way. Me too. Oh well. 

We only went for a little nice walk this morning. Because it is way slippy under the lots of blowing around snow.

Then we had our toasts and Zita had to write to the rascal ladies. Again. I helped.

After lunch she had to go to our nice dentist. Then she had go to more important meetings with the rascal ladies.  

I stayed here to guard Craig. He was busy reading more stories. For our nice Queen. 

Craig and I had a toasty cheesey for our lunch. Toasty cheeses are my favourite. 

We had toasts in bed last night. Ha. That is good. 

I do not know why. Just sometimes. Not all the time. Oh well.

After our lunch my friend Mister Kirian came to take the snow away from my side yard. And our patio. And the silver little car. That is good.

Then he came in for lots of coffees to get all nice and warm again. He and Craig talked a lot. All about lots of things. Oh well. 

I had a little nap. Beside Craig. So I know where he is. All the time. So he does not get lost. Or stolen all away. 

He said I was the best when company visits dog in the world. That is true. 

Mister Kirian borrowed a very interesting book. All about long ago. It does not have many pictures. Oh well.

Emmet got two new books all about way way old and way far away Ireland.

The present man brought them. They are not secret presents. They are not for his nice university. They are just for him. 

We are having pasta tonight. Everybody likes pasta. I do not get pasta. Oh well. I get frozen peas. 

Then I get to play the frozen pea game with Zita. Ha. I always win that game. Good for me. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Seven

It was a bit all windy snow today. I stayed in my cosy house this morning.

Craig did not go to the giant office today. Because his friend had another important meeting. And because of the windy snow. Maybe another day he said.

My friend Niamh was in the big newspaper. With lots of beautiful pictures. Even of Niamh. I saw them. 

It was because of the way special beautiful dance. Ha. That is good. 

She is going to wear Miss Rachel's cover you whole arm gloves. Ha. That is good.

Zita drove Emmet to his all day at his nice university day. Before she went way downtown to talk to the new rascal ladies.

When Emmet came home was very happy. His new professor told stories all about giant windy rain and frogs. 

Emmrt says he tells very funny stories. That is good. I like happy stories too. 

Zita said I can not play with the frogs. Maybe I might squish them. Oh dear. Oh well. Too bad for them.

When Zita got home she said we can go for nice walks again because my sore leg is perfect now. 

Craig said he is perfect too. He always tells everybody that. 

I do not think it is true. He can not walk so well. And he can not sing so well. Not like me. 

And he has to use the go fast chair.

The go fast chair is not so fast in the snow. Not as fast as me. Or Zita. 

He will get all stuck. Just like a car. Ha. Ha too bad for him. 

The take you away truck will have to come and bring him home. All frozen into ice. Ha. 

We did not have any tasty peanut butter sandwiches for lunch today. I do not know why.  

Zita gave me smelly cheese before we went for our just a little walk. We have to take it easy Zita said. That is good. 

Then Zita pushed all the nasty snow away from our cars. I was a big help. It is known. 

We got even more all black music machines last night. From just around the corner. Where I go for my nice walks. 

I do not know why we got to them. We have lots of music machines. Nearly everywhere. I like the nice music. Not the too loud music. 

Niamh and I like the fly like a swan music from dance a lot. Good for us.

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Six

I had a very busy day.

Zita and I got up early. To take Niamh to her special dance a lot practice. 

But she could not go. Niamh had a sick tummy and sore eyes. Oh dear. I took care of her. All day.

Zita says I am the best nurse dog ever. That is true.

Then Zita could not open the gold big car's doors. Or Craig's silver little car either. They were just all full of ice. Because it is all cold again. Oh dear.

Zita got a special bottle from Craig's big lots of drawers box. She put it all over the doors. And they opened all up. Ha. 

But not Craig's door. He could not get in his little car. Oh dear. That is not right.

He had to get another different bottle. And then it opened. After a while. 

Zita drove Emmet to his nice university. Not Craig. Because the gold big car was all toasty warm. That is good.

The silver little car was still getting all better. Cars to not like the way too cold so much. 

When Craig goes to the giant office the silver little cars gets to sit in the very warm basement until all the snow is all melted away. That is good.

Zita had to go downtown to the way too small rascal ladies office. Even before her nice lunch. Oh dear

I stayed here to guard Craig. And to keep my friend Niamh's feet all nice and warm. 

She had to write more of her story. When she got out of her bed. 

It is easy to get all better if your feet are not all frosty cold. It is known. 

Craig was reading for the nice Queen again. In the den. With his too much coffee.

Craig is selling some make music boxes. For real money. Ha. They are not very beautiful. Ha. That is good. 

Zita brought them up from the all full of big big shelves all filled up to very the top room. In the basement. 

I do not go in that room. The shelves are too too full. They will all fall over and squish me. 

Emmet said dragons live there. That is not true. Dragons live in Wales. With Professor Alex. It is known. Ha. Too bad for Emmet. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Five

We had a nice sleep in today. Because it is Sunday.

It is an all windy rain day. We did not go for a nice walk. Oh well. 

I do not like the rain so much. I get all soggy and have to get all dry as a chip before I can leave the kitchen. Too bad for me. 

Craig and I played catch the ball. In the windy rain. I got all soggy. Oh well.

We had real own made pancakes for our lunch. That is good. And giant flat bacon. 

Sometimes I get little pieces. If Craig makes tasty bacon sandwiches for our lunch.

Niamh went to the learn how to dance the way old dances. All afternoon. 

For the extra special beautiful dance night. With the all the way to your toes beautiful dresses. And the cover your whole arm gloves. And very shiny beautiful shoes. Ha. Good for us. 

Niamh and Zita and I like beautiful clothes. Craig and Emmet just like warm clothes. And cosy socks. Oh well.

You have to pay lots and lots and lots of real money to go to the extra special dance night. 

Niamh does not have to pay. That is good.

She did not have to go so far away. Just beside nice Mister Nicastro's smelly cheese store. That is good.

My friend Lee came over this afternoon. So Emmet could help her with her way old Latin homework. That is good. Emmet is a good teacher. 

Zita went out to drink coffee with her friend from Mister Saint Paul's university. And go to buy tasty food for our dinners. All week.

Craig just watched the football game. Too bad for him. 

He cleaned some of the way old dangerous knives. But not too much. Because they are way old. Even older than Craig. Ha. 

I guarded everybody. And watched the windy rain out my watching window. I do not like windy rain so much. It is known. 

Maybe we will watch the old detectives on the television tonight. Or have a nice sleep. Ha. Good for us. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Four

I did not go for a nice walk this morning. Because I have to rest my leg. Oh dear. I helped move the cars. Ha that is good. It is my favourite job. 

Craig had to use the silver little car to go to his old friends breakfast. Because it is raining outside. That is silly. It is winter. It is not even so cold. That is not right. 

He came home. He did not get lost. That is good. 

Niamh went all fast asleep last night. Early. She did not go out with her dance a lots friends. She was way tired. Because of the special dancing. 

Emmet went to bed early too. His head was sore because of the speaking old Latin all the time. Oh dear.

Craig had a bath. Oh well. I do not like that so much. Oh well. 

There was something strange in the kitchen last night. 

I had to get Zita to tell her. After we went to bed. It was only old pillows. They were not so dangerous. That was good. 

I am a way good guarding dog. Zita said so. 

This morning our friend Mister Kirian came to have Irish tea and toast with Zita and Emmet. And to take away all the snow. That is good. 

The way wet snow will be just all slippy ice all over everything. If you do not take it all away. 

Then everybody will just all fall down on their bottoms. And not be able to get up. And they will stay there forever. Even maybe me too. Or dear. 

So Mister Kirian took it all away from our patio and our own sidewalk. And the little keep the garbage safe house. That is good. 

Niamh has to write stories for all the nice universities. So they will say that she can go to their nice university and maybe give her real money. Ha. 

They should just ask everybody's nice dog. They will know if their friends should go to that nice university. 

They never ask dogs all about people. And we know people the very best. Because we are dogs. Too bad for them. 

Niamh helped me up on to her very high comfy bed. I stayed with her. When she wrote her stories. 

I was a big help. Her feet did not get cold at all. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita cleaned all under the comfy big bed. With the noisy machine. 

We found way way way old dangerous knives. From far far way. From soldiers. 

Even one from Craig's way way way old uncle. 

He was a Scotsman soldier. He worked for the old old nice Queen. In far away way too hot places. He is dead now. Oh well. Maybe he knows old colonel George. Maybe 

Craig has to clean them all spic and span. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Three

I had a nice quiet day. I am not sore today. I am just a bit too tired. 

I had lots of nice naps. Being sore makes you tired. Craig told me. It is true.

I did not go for a nice walk today. It is a time for a nice rest for me day. Oh well. 

Zita had to take Niamh and Miss Julia to the dance a lot school way early today. I stayed in the big bed to keep Craig all comfy too.

We had the big and crunchy toasts today. When Zita got home. That is good. 

I have a nice comfy bed. In the kitchen. And my own just for me blanket. 

It is a present from my friends Miss Gracie and Mister Elliot. They are very nice dogs from far away.

Zita had to go to the way too small office today. A new lady is going to work there. To help everybody.

Then Craig and Zita went to Niamh's dance a lot school. To see Niamh dance. There were lots of special dances. My friend Niamh was in two special dances.

Craig said she was the star. She was the beautiful princess in the last dance. That is right. 

I stayed in our house to guard my friend Emmet. He is studying way old Roman again. And reading all about all the people who live beside a way way far away ocean. 

Emmet says oceans are very scary because that is where the giant whales live. Emmet does like oceans so much. The bottoms are too far away. It is known.

We are going to have tasty pizzas for our dinner tonight. From the way way cheesy pizza store. 

My friend Niamh came home. Right after school. She had little nap. Before our tasty pizza. Special dances make you very tired. 

Nice Mister Martin gave us lots and lots of tickets to the hockey games. For all our fiends. 

He is a nice man. He does not like hockey so much. Good for us. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy One

I fell down this morning. After my nice walk. In my own house. Oh dear.

I hurt my leg. Everybody came to help me. Even my friend Emmet came up fast from the scary basement. That was nice. 

I had a nice long nap on the big comfy bed. To keep my friend Zita company. When she had to talk to all the rascal ladies. 

I had the nice nap because I was a bit way too sore. I had all the comfy pillows. Ha.

Craig has nice naps when he is way too sore. Me too. That is good. 

I am going to see my nice Doctor next week. Sometimes my leg makes a noise. Just like Craig's shoulders. Too bad for us. 

Zita says we are going to get some do not slip and fall rugs. Just for me. In the slippy hall. That is good.

I have to have some quiet days. So my leg will get all better again. Zita said so. Oh well. 

Miss Rachel came over to my house last night. To visit my friend Emmet. Before she went back to the be a doctor university. In way far away Ireland. 

She brought Emmet his favourite chocolates. You can not buy them here. Only way over there. 

Emmet went to his brand new class. This afternoon. All about the giant oceans way over there. Past way far away. Craig drove him to his nice university.

Zita and I had to work. 

I helped Zita move the cars this afternoon. She helped me get in to the gold big car. Because of my sore leg. That is nice. 

A big pointy pice of ice broke a hole in the front of the gold big car. Not a big hole. Just a nearly little hole. Oh dear. That is not right.

The way way loud take all the snow away machine was on my street last night. With all the loud giant trucks. They woke everybody up. 

Niamh and Emmet too. I did not bark at all. I cannot bark at the take the snow away machines. Or they will be scared and not take the snow all away. Emmet told me. 

Then we will not be able to leave the house and we will have no tasty food to eat.  Oh dear. That is why I did not bark. Even once. 

I just growled at them. It was not so loud. That is good. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy

It is a not so cold day today. I did not have to wear my keep me all nice and warm coat today. 

It has shiny stripes so everybody can see me at night. And scare the fierce wolves all away. That is good.

Zita and I went for a nice little long walk before we had our toasts. 

And Craig and I played catch the ball twice.

The present man brought new books for Emmet. For his university. And a secret Merry Christmas time present. From far way. It was late. Oh well.

Now he has another present. It is a tshirt with a way way old God on it. 

Today is nearly an all day at the university day for Emmet. 

Craig watched a scary program last night. On the television. I was too busy to watch. Zita and I went to bed early. I kept her all cosy. Good for us. 

I do not like way scary programs. With scary people with wings. That is not right. 

Then I had to make the bed all comfy warm for Craig it is my job. 

Emmet went to bed early too. Lots of very important meetings make you tired. 

If you go to lots and lots and lots of meetings you get so tired you have to retire. Just like Craig.

But then the nice Queen says you have to come back. Because now their meetings are not so interesting. Too bad for him. 

Niamh finished all her writing last night. Then she and her dance a lot friends went to Mister Horton's not very expensive coffee store. 

Emmet's nice university has lots of those stores. Because when you are at university you do not have so much money. It is known. Just lots of big interesting books instead. 

Zita had lots of work to do. For our little newspaper. All afternoon. I guarded her from the noisy take the too much snow away machines. It is my job.

The lady was sad. Because she was not at home. Then she got nice friends and was all happy. Just like Zita. 

Zita did not have a way nice dog like me in way far away Ireland. Now she does. 

It is me. Ha. Good for us. It is known.

Emmet is going to ask the computer to get them for him. That is good. The present man will bring them to our house. That is good.

Zita went to the fix your body all up lady this afternoon. So she won't be all too sore. 

Craig and I had peanut butter cookies for lunch. Now they are all gone. Because Merry Christmas time is all gone. Too bad for us.

We had used Chinese food last night. Nothing dropped on to my floor. Too bad for me. Oh well.

We did not watch any detectives last night. Everybody was too busy. Because today is the back to everything day. Oh well. Too bad for us.

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Seven

Craig had a way long sleep in today. And Zita had to talk to Auntie Eileen. In way far away Ireland. 

So Zita and I did not go on our nice walk until late. Too bad for for me.

When we got home we made our special own made dessert. But we had it for our lunch. I do not know why.

Oh dear. Merry Christmas time is all finished. We took all the beautiful decorations away. We put them in the giant box. Oh dear.

I helped. 

And then Zita took the Merry Christmas time tree outside. Oh dear. Our living room is all empty now. 

I do not like that. 

I like Merry Christmas time. And our cheese parties. And all the good smells. And the secret presents Too bad for us.

Zita and Niamh took lots and lots of snow away. From our driveway. After lunch. 

The television told Zita that is is going to be way cold tonight. Too cold to go outside to take away the too much snow. Ha. Now it is all done already. Good for us.

My friend Emmet had to get his special picture taken. For the little go far away books. Emmet has two little books. Zita and Niamh have two books.

Craig only has one. Too bad for him. 

If you have two little books you can go to the very very old universities in way far away. All by yourself. Ha. Nobody will say no. Ha. That is good. 

They have very old books in those universities. Emmet told me. With lots of beautiful pictures. Drawn on the insides. By way old church people. That is nice. I like pictures. 

Niamh is still looking at nice far away universities. 

I will not be able to guard her if she is not in our house. Oh dear. That is not right.

We had tasty Chinese food last night. Some fell right on me. Ha. That is good. I like Chinese food.

He has been a friend for a long long time. He is nearly retired too. Just like Craig. But he does not have any hair. Oh well.

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Six

We had a very quiet day.

Craig and Zita had to find all the same socks. In two giant boxes. I helped. 

It was not a very fun game. I had to wait for ever to play catch the ball. Too bad for me.

Then we had toasts. Only one toasts today. Too bad for me.

This afternoon Niamh and Zita had to look at all the universities. On the computer. To see if they are nice universities. 

Like Emmet's nice university. But not here.

That took a long long time. I had a nice nap. On my comfy in the kitchen bed. 

We are going to get Chinese tasty food tonight. Zita and Niamh will go to the way way little restaurant.

Where they make the tasty food. It is not so far away. It is not all downtown. 

They will put all the food in big big bags. And bring it home for us. Not for me. Oh well. 

Sometimes tasty Chinese food falls on the floor. Ha. Good for me. Maybe.

This afternoon Zita and Professor Jill went to talk to Mister God. At our big church. 

I do not have to out go to talk to Mister God. Because I am a dog. I just talk to Mister Saint Newton. And Mister God knows. It is known. 

Jame and I did not go to our big church. We had to guard our houses. It is our job. 

I have lots of jobs. I get the big bed all comfy warm for Craig and Zita. In the winter. It is a good job. It is not so hard. 

And everyday I have to watch out the watching window. To guard our house. And my family. 

Sometimes they are not here for me to guard. They do not listen to me so much. I do not like that. Too bad for me. 

Sometimes if someone is a bit sick I am the very best nurse. I stay right on the bed with them and that makes them all better. Ha. Good for me.

Guarding all our beautiful vegetables in our own garden is my job. It is a way hard job. Because of the awful squirrels and the silly bunny. 

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Six

It is a brand new year. Ha. 

We had a little sleep in. Then we were all wide awake. But only Zita and I. 

I looked out my watching window. It was just the same. Oh well.

Then Craig was awake and we had our tasty toasts. That is good.

Niamh left her door not all shut. Ha. I jumped up on her big bed. Then she was all wide awake. Ha. Good for me. 

She did not come home until late late. Ha. Too bad for her.

When she finished writing all her stories she went all back to bed. Ha. For more lots of sleep.

Emmet was up late late too. 

Talking to all his friends from all over. On his big fast computer and on his little one. At the same time. That is silly. 

Craig's mother is going to come to our house for our nice dinner. I will try not to bark. Maybe. Oh well.

We are having tasty own made pie for our dinner. It is a French people's pie. I was French. A long long time ago. Ha. 

I do not eat French people's pies. They are not so good for my tummy.

I got lots of tasty cheese on my breakfast. This morning. Because it is a brand new never used at all year. That is good.

It was a very loud and bright night last night. I was not so scared. 

My friend Emmet came up from his comfy bedroom. We watched all the bright noisy lights out my watching window. 

We were not so scared. Because we were together. Scary things are not so scary when your friends are there too. It is known.

The little throw the snow away machine went on the sidewalk last night. Zita and I walked on them this morning. Not on the road. 

It is not so safe to walk on the road. Because some cars crash into everything on the road. Not just cars. Even people. And nice dogs like me. Oh dear.

So we do not walk on the all full of snow road. 

Zita and I made cookies today. And tasty all full of butter tarts. All by ourselves. For our tasty dessert tonight. I was a big help. Emmet too. 

Emmet likes to bake tasty food. Especially sticky chocolate squares. And chocolate fat croissants. 

Niamh cooks lots of nearly Chinese foods. Late at night. After dance a lot. 

Niamh is not going to teach dance a lot in the winter. She is way too busy at her dance a lot school. So Zita will not have fierce talks with anybody now. That is good. 

Craig can only make peanut butter sandwiches. And way too hot chillies. Too bad for him. Oh well. 

I only help in the kitchen. I do not cook. It is known.

Day One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Five

We had a nice sleep in today. Good for us.

Then Zita and I went for a very long walk. In the too much snow. 

I watched all the little children go sliding down our hill into the all empty pond. Oh dear. They just all fall off. Oh dear. I do not like that. They will be all hurt. Oh dear. 

I saw a car all crashed up. On the busy street. Oh dear. 

Our cars just stay in our driveway. All safe. Where I can guard them. That is good.

The little silver car has a big hat of too much snow. Zita's gold big car has no too much snow. It is just all a car. That is good. 

We had toasts with Craig when we got all home. And some too many coffees. 

The noisy little keep the sidewalks all clean machines were on my own street today. They are way noisy. I do not like them so much. 

Today is our last day. We are nearly all finished our year. Tomorrow we get a brand new year. Just for us. 

I know why we have to get a new year. 

When I was not so big I did not know. Ha. Now I know.

If you do not have a brand new year you can not have new sing happy birthday parties. Or get new secret presents. It is known.

That is why every year we get a brand new year. Ha. Good for us. I do not know where we get our brand new year. I not know where we put the old used year. Nobody told me. Oh well.

Maybe the nice garbage men put it in their big truck. And take it all away. Maybe. 

After lunch we talked to everybody in way far away Ireland. They were all in Zita's brother's house. Nearly in Dublin. Not so far from a castle. All inside a way way old university. 

Even cousin Orlaith and cousin Ciara were there. I could see them. They could see me too. Ha. That is good. We showed them our way too much snow. Ha.

They do not have too much snow in way far away. Just way too much rain. Then you have to swim in the streets. Oh dear. I would not like that. 

Emmet went for a little walk. In his brand new old keep your head warm hat. It is all furry. Like me. Ha. 

Maybe Niamh is going to a party. At Zoe's. They do not know if there is a party. Not even Zoe. That is silly. 

We will just have a nice dinner. And sing the goodbye to our year song.  

Tomorrow is the Scotsman's hog my day. That is not very nice. It is not their day. Oh well. 

Scotsmen have way funny days. And only can eat porridge. Craig told me. Ha. Too bad for them. 

Zita gets old bottles of Scotsman's drink for secret presents. That is silly. Even Craig would not drink them. Oh well. People are silly.

Happy brand new year. Good for us.
