Day One Thousand and Thirty

We had a nice cheese party. Auntie Eileen and Zita and I went for a nice walk after dinner.

Then we had a way too sad night. 

Uncle Bill could not wake all up. So he died last night and went right to heaven. Too bad for us.

Craig and Emmet and Niamh sat in the den and cried. For a little while. They are way sad. I went in but I did not know which one to help. Oh dear. That is not right.

Niamh is very sad. Uncle Bilł used to give her drives to dance a lot. When it was way too cold. 

Emmet is very sad too. Who will go with him to the too loud movies. And go to the too many chips restaurants after the movie.

I can not to the the movies with him. Or the too many chips restaurants. Too bad for me.

I talked to Saint Newton last night. For a long time. 

He told me Uncle Bill was already there. Saint Newton found him a nice big friendly dog. Just like me. So he will not be all lonely. Or get all lost. Heaven is way way big. All his friends will come to keep him company someday. That is good. 

Zita and Auntie Eileen did not go on the dangerous train today. To Montreal. That is good. 

They are going to stay here so my family can go to Uncle Billl's goodbye party. Everybody will tell funny Uncle Bill stories so no one will be too sad. 

Uncle Bill will want everybody to be happy and laugh at all the stories. Uncle Bill alway told good stories. They made us always laugh. It is known. 

Craig played the Uncle Bill song. On the big music machines. It said. "I see Angles on Areils in leather and chrome swoop'n down from heaven to carry him home." 

It is a too sad song I think. We should only play happy songs for Uncle Bill. He was a happy friend. It is known. 

Craig is a knight again in way far away England. He still does not have a brave dog to help him. It will be a long book. I think. 

Day One Thousand and Twenty Nine

I had a way early nice walk this morning. Zita was all awake early. She could not go fast asleep. We went for a nice walk instead. We did not see anybody. They were all fast asleep. Too bad for them. 

We did not have any toasts today. Too bad for me. 

Craig had to go to his nice doctor. Because of his still too sick nose. Too bad for him. Now he has to put medicine in his nose. Too bad for him. 

Craig went to the hospital for a long long time. To see our Uncle Bill. And say goodbye. He is still all fast asleep. He will not wake all up. That is not right. 

Everybody told lots of Uncle Bill stories. So they would not be so sad. There were lots and lots of stories. Some of them can not be said out loud. Oh dear. 

Craig is very sad. I can tell. It is my job. I always know if my family is not alright. It is known. I stayed right beside him all the time. I brought him my green ball. That made him not sad. Good for me.

Dogs are way good at making people not sad. It is known. Even little dogs. 

Auntie Eileen is coming here today. The house is all spic and span. And neat and tidy. She will not know that we are messy. Ha. 

We're are having a cheese party tonight. Instead of our nice dinner. Ha. Maybe I will get cheese treats. 

We have lots and lots of cheese from way far way. Smelly cheese. And special just for cheese biscuits. 

Sometimes I am a bit smelly. I get cheese treats anyway. Ha. Good for me. 

Zita took the gold big car to go to the airport. To find Auntie Eileen. She can not find our house all by herself. She would get lost. And not have any of our tasty cheese. Oh dear.

Day One Thousand and Twenty Eight

It is a way early day. For special dance a lot practice. We almost forgot. 

We had to hurry all about. We did not go for a nice walk. Way too much hurry. Oh well.

My friend Garry came over with a special for pancakes present. Just for us. He gives us a special present every year. That is nice. He said my cousin Mattie went to the make me beautiful store already. Ha.

Craig did not go to the nasty food hospital today. Uncle Bilł is still fast all asleep. We do not know when he will wake up. Oh dear. 

Who will drink Irish tea with us. And eat the cookies. And tell us way funny stories. And what to do about all the giant Turkeys. They will get all away. If he is all fast asleep. That is not right.

Auntie Eileen comes for a nice visit tomorrow. On an aeroplane. 

The house is nearly all spic and span. Except for all of Craig's little Roman soldiers. They are still all dusty. Too bad for them. 

Craig and Emmet just watched television last night. All about spies. In way far away England. I did not watch it. I had a nice nap in the living room with Zita and Niamh.

Niamh and Zita did Niamh's all about how people think homework. She has a remember lots test tomorrow. Oh dear.

Zita had to go to the way too small office today. 

She and Auntie Eileen are going to Montreal. It is not so far away. On a train. Oh dear. Trains fall all over. I do not think trains are so good. They should walk. Then I could go too. 

They are going to stay in a way beautiful hotel. With very fat beds. And table sheet restaurants. For two nights. I will be in charge at our house. Ha.

I dropped my green bouncy ball down the scary basement stairs. My friend Emmet brought it all the way up. Just for me. It is good to have nice friends to help you. It is known. 

Day One Thousand and Twenty Seven

Zita and I went for a nice walk this morning. Before everyone was all awake.

Craig went off to the nasty food hospital to see Uncle Bill. This morning. Uncle Bill is still all fast asleep. The doctors made him go to sleep so he can get all better. 

Craig talked to him. He told him to get all better. Or Craig would be way cross. And very sad. Oh dear. Oh dear. Craig never gets cross. Oh dear. That is not right. 

Craig's hockey team lost last night. Now they are all finished. Oh well. Too bad for them. 

Zita is very busy with all the lady rascals today. And making the house all spic and span clean for Auntie Eileen. 

Zita says I should have gone to the make me beautiful store before Auntie Eileen comes for her visit. Oh well. Craig too I think. Ha. 

Mister Kyle came to my house. He put a nice new light on the ceiling in the den. That is good. He is going to fix the way too noisy fan in the bathroom. That is good too. 

Niamh is teaching dance a lot tonight. She will not have a tasty dinner with us. Just Zita and Craig and emmet and me. Too bad for her.

Niamh wants a brand new special computer. For making her dance a lot music. For her school. She gives Craig all her money. So she will not spend it all in the way too expensive coffee stores. Ha. 

Mister Bill caught fishes yesterday. All by himself. At his cottage. 

He gave one to Zita. Only Zita likes fish. I do not eat fishes. Just my tasty foods and my treats. I like green beans and lettuce and lots of cheese. Ha. 

Mister Nicastro's nice store has lots of smelly cheeses. It is my favourite store. On the way busy street. It is known.

Maybe they will both loose. Ha. Too bad for them.

Zita's sister is going to come for a visit. From way far away Ireland. In three days.

We have to make the house all spic and span. So she will not know that we are all messy. Like Craig and Niamh and Emmet. Ha. I am not messy.

There were lots of them. Zita took him in the gold big car. He is going to walk home. Emmet's nice university is not so far away. I can see it sometimes. On my nice walks. 

He will not get all lost. I would find him if he got lost. It is known. 

Niamh is studying. A lot.  All about people thinking. I do not know how people think. People have too many rules. They do not think all the time. It is known. 

Sometimes I think even when I am all fast asleep. About chasing nasty squirrels. Ha. 

Craig used to think a lot. When the nice Queen gave him real money. 

Now he just reads lots of books. And plays roll the ball for me. And drives Emmet and Niamh all around. And makes tasty peanut butter sandwiches for our lunch. And has too much coffees. It is known. Ha.

Craig's hockey team won again last night. They can still play hockey. He did not watch. It is too scary to watch. 

Craig and Zita and I watched the nice churchman catch nasty people in way far away. Instead. He only has a little church. Oh well. 

Zita is going out tonight. To listen to people who write interesting books. Maybe the policeman from France with the very nice dog and the smelly cheese friends will be there. That would be nice. 

I like cheese.

Maybe the nasty cold has caught me. Oh dear.  I do not like sick tummies. 

My comfy bed had to go into the make everything all clean machine. In the middle of the night. Oh dear.

The scary Viking program is on the television tonight. I will not watch it. It is too scary.

Zita went off to buy things. Nothing for me. I do not need any more things. I have lots of things. I have three catching balls. And my big black chewing thing. And my green thing. And my comfy bed. Ha. 

The green thing is my special favourite. I allways carry it with me when I walk around my house to make sure it is all safe. It is my job. 

The giant dog that tried to bite Zita and me was on my street. I gave him my most fierce barks. He went away. That is good. He is not a nice dog. He should not come on my street. It is known.

And the old Colonel's medals. From another war. I do not know which one. Oh well.

Emmet is writing more long remember everything stories. Now they are all about way old people who were farmers on way big mountains. They grew tasty vegetables. Just like our garden. Beside our house.

Craig is a knight in way long time ago way far away England. Catching nasty people. He does not have a nice dog. Only a big horse. Oh well. 

He will not catch anybody for a long time. Because he does not have a nice fierce dog. Too bad for him.
