Day One Hundred and Sixty

Miss Pancake 

Everybody was all awake early today. Because all the times were different today. 

And it is school day for us. 

Zita talked to Auntie Eileen this morning. And she was at a hospital. 

Because Cousin Lucy broke her arm. Oh my goodness me.

And it not even the same hospital as her Nana. Oh my goodness gracious me.

That is way too many hospitals to visit. My goodness me.

When Zita was reading Niamh’s new story I got a Craig up and awake. That is a good job for me.

At nighttime I get to jump right up on the bed to give him lots of kisses.

Because he cannot go to fast asleep without lots of kisses. Ha. That is a good job for me.

When Zita and Niamh were getting dressed Craig and I looked out the windows.

I was sitting in the comfy chair. Now it has a cover just for me. Ha.

And when Niamh came upstairs she sat in the chair with me. Ha. That is a good job for her.

I gave her lots of kisses too. Ha. Good for me. 

Then it was time to go to school.

So all the ladies got in our car. 

Craig had to stay in the house. 

Because he did not have enough too much coffee this morning.

Because the time is different today. That was a surprise for me. Oh well. 

Festis and Furrgus 

It was a beautiful sunny morning and we were all in a sprightly mood, even accounting for the time change.

So before the rest of the house was awake all of us went on the morning patrol.

And then wondered over to the university and across the canal to visit the arboretum. 

Needless to say that worked up an appetite and we had just enough time to make it back to Bank Street for the breakfast special at Irene’s.

Nothing like a bunch of sausages to start the day I do say.

When we got home all the ladies had decamped for Miss Pancake’s school, so after exchanging pleasantries with Mr. T we went went off for a well deserved nap. 

Miss Pancake 

I had a very good day at my school this morning.

And that dog Penny did not even chase me today. We just played nicely. That was good. 

And the other dog from very far away Belgium was there today. Bouviers are from Belgium. 

But we moved here a long time ago. Just like my Zita. 

He is not a Bouvier dog. He is a Malinois dog. Ha.

He gets very excited very fast. But we are friends anyway. 

But we got even more home work to do. Just like my friend Niamh. Ha.

When Niamh and I got home Zita went and got brand new cook them ourselves croissants. 

For our brunch. 

We always have brunch after my school time. 

Because all the practicing makes everyone very hungry. Especially me. 

After the brunch I had my own tasty lunch. Then I had a nap. 

But when Niamh went to see our friend Sach I went along, so I could mind both of them. 

Then we all walked up to the Bank Street. And we met Miss Emily walking down the street. 

So we sat right on a bench and I watched the whole world walking down the street. 

And then we went to Starbucks coffees store and we sat outside for a very long time. 

I was a very good waiting dog. Good for me. 

Then when we got home Zita and Niamh went to visit Craig’s mother. 

At her little apartment. 

I stayed here so I could mind Craig. And have a nice nap.

In the hospital in Ireland people can only visit one time a week. And it can only be one person. 

And nobody knows why. That is a silly hospital.

Doctor Alice’s hospital is not like that. Maybe Nana should go there. Maybe. 

But it is far away in Cork. And you cannot go so far away after an operation.

When I had my operation I went home nearly right away. 

And all my horses friends were there. To say Welcome Back Pancake. 

But I do not think that Zita’s Nana has any horses friends in Dublin. Oh dear. 

We had a very special own made dinner tonight. 

And it was from Mexico with extremely delicious own made bacon from our meat store.

After dinner we watched all the big movies on the television. 

Then we watched the detective program until we were too tired and had to go to bed.
