Day One Hundred and Forty

We got up only a little bit early this morning.

But then I found out we did not have to go to work today.

Because it is a holiday so people can be altogether with their family. Ha that is a good idea.

So we were all here. Except for Emmet. Because he is with Doctor Alice in Ireland. Oh well.

So I helped Zita and Niamh with their breakfast.

But then Zita remembered that it was a clean the house day. Oh my goodness. 

So we made the house as clean as could be. I was nearly a big help.

Niamh stayed in the den so she could get Zita’s new phone to know it was Zita’s own phone.

Because Niamh knows all about those kinds of phones. 

Craig had a bit of a sleep in because it was a all day long holiday.

But when he got up Zita made him a toast. And I got a little bit. 

Because I was a very good listener today. Ha.

But at lunch time Zita had to go to visit her friend Roger who has his own make you beautiful store.

Because she need to have some of her hair cut. 

I stayed here to mind everybody. That is my best job.

Ladies always have a make you beautiful store. 

Boys are not so beautiful. My brothers were big ruffians. 

But now they mind fast horses. Far away, right where I was born. Ha.

I get to mind my family in my own house not smelly horses. Ha. Good for me. 

When Zita was gone I stayed right in the den so my friend Niamh would be comfy warm. Ha. Good for me. 

Then Miss Sach came to visit me. And Niamh too.



But they had to go downstairs. To clean Niamh’s bedroom.

Because today is a clean the house day.

And Niamh’s bedroom is so messy she needed Miss Sach to help her. Oh my goodness me. 

Then I had to remind Craig it was my lunchtime. Again. 


Sometimes people forget when it the time to eat. 

Because their tummies do not tell them the right time. Too bad for them. 


Furrgus and Festis 

Today is a holiday. Which rather caught us off guard. 

But fortunately not all the restaurants were closed. That was a relief. 

So we went to Cantina Gia for some breakfast chocolate mousse. And a few cups of coffee. 



It is a holiday after all. 

As it was above zero our walk home was rather a saunter. 

And when we got home Zita was there. All spiffed up. My goodness. 

And she informed us that an unknown number of Mahoneys were coming for dinner.

So we should amend our schedule as necessary if we wish to join them.

Well there has never existed a Blackthorn-Badger who has ever turned down an opportunity for dinner with old friends. 

So we acted accordingly. I do say. 

Cousin Morag and the dogs have returned from Türkiye. 

So we obviously sent her a big bunch of flowers. 

And we suggested to cook that she might fry up a few pounds of bacon for the dogs. 

That will set her off. Oh well.

I can hear her now. “Good Lord in Heaven. Perfectly good bacon for all those those scruffy dogs. Why I never…” 



Miss Pancake 

When Zita got home she was as beautiful as could be. 

And she had extra treats. 

Because the Mahoneys are coming here for a delicious dinner. 

And Kathy is bringing the dinner here. My good me. 

And today Niamh got a real letter. The postman brought it. 

And it was from very very far away Mister Holden. 

And it was a letter to me. And he drew a picture of me. 



And I was driving him on a bicycle. My goodness me. 

I did not even know I could drive a bicycle. My goodness me. What a surprise. 

Then Kathy was here. With all the food in the world. Even a chicken too. 

And we are going to cook it later. And then it will be a delicious dinner. 

Maybe we will have cheese. 

My far away friend Poppy told me that all the Mahoney’s love cheese. 

That is why they were her favourite best friends. Ha.

Maybe we will have lots and lots of cheeses tonight. Ha. That would be a very tasty idea. 

There is a Mister Nicastro’s store in heaven. And they give dogs any cheese they want. 

And you do not even have to sit. 

And there is not even a door and it is alway open. Even in the middle of the night. Just in case. Ha.

They just give you very big pieces. Just for you. Ha. Poppy told me so. 

But before dinnertime Zita and I went for a walk in the lovely sunshine. 

But it was not warm anymore. Oh well. I am very furry. 

We practiced slow walking. I got liver treats. I always get treats when I am a very good listener.

But sometimes it is very hard being a listener.

Especially when there are so many interesting things happening all around when you are outside. Oh well. 

But we went up and down the little streets, where are are not so many cars. So we would not get squished.

One time I got squished by the go fast chair. I did not like that. 

When I got home I threw up a pinecone. I ate it when I was outside. To bad bad for me. 

Zita said I should not eat pinecones. Maybe she is right. Oh dear. 

But then I was very very busy because the Mahoneys arrived for dinner and I had even more people to mind. 



Then it was party time. Ha.

And then everyone was here. 


Then we had a very delicious dinner. And there was even lots of wine too. My goodness. 

I got treats because I did not jump on anyone at all.
