Day Two Hundred and Seventy

Miss Pancake 

My goodness I had such a busy morning. 

Because today everybody is going everywhere. Except for Craig and me. 

And I helped Niamh have her squeaky clean shower.

But my head got all wet as could be. Oh well. 

Then I helped Niamh make the house neat and tidy. 

And I saved her lots of times from that noisy floor cleaning machine. Ha. 

And then I helped her do all her packing for her trip to Toronto. 

And we played the catch the shoe game too. Ha. That is is very good game for me. 

Then we went into Mrs. Bruna’s back yard and we played chase the ball game. For a long time.

Then we were hot and we came back to our house.

And I minded Niamh. 

We were so busy that Craig did not even have his first coffee until Niamh and Tarryn were gone. My goodness me. 

And Craig’s computer had pictures of Zita’s aeroplane. 

And then it found her aeroplane when it was flying very fast. On top of an ocean. My goodness me. 

But then it was time for my morning relax.

Yesterday Zita and her mother and her father went out for tasty treats. 

In the country, not in the downtown. 

Because is a very lovely sunny day. 

And there are way too many cars in their downtown. 

Craig and I had two very very tasty eggs rolledups for our lunch.

Because Craig did not even have a bit of breakfast because everything was way too busy here.

As there was another air warning we did our morning patrol at sunrise. 

As it was also destined to be a bit hot and sticky today, on arriving at Little Victories we ordered a half dozen of their cooling Affogatos. 

Well they are rather small.

Upon returning home we were met by the cacophony of the vacuum cleaner and Miss Pancake disputing its presence. My goodness.

Things were all hurly-burly getting the place ship shape to accommodate Mrs. T’s return.

In addition there was young Niamh preparing her packing for the excursion to Toronto. Miss P was a questionable assistant I must say. 

But they eventually got settled and set off with enough luggage for a Himalayan expedition. 

Miss Pancake

After my relax it was my lunchtime. 

And my friend Sach sent me a picture. 

And they were in a car driving on the highway. My goodness.

And my best friend Zita is back in our own country. 

In not so very far away Montreal. That made me happy. 

There was a huge crash outside. Something every big fell off a truck. Right on the road. My goodness.

But it did not move anywhere. So I went back to my afternoon relax. 

Until it was time for my second lunch. 


Furrgus and Festis 

The day was not as hot as predicted but the smog was quite obvious so we curtailed our efforts today.

Taking the opportunity to call Morag, now that she has had time to settle. 

When she reached the telephone she was a bit flustered, as had been conducting a training session for her herd of new deerhounds.

Well if they are like our Miss P repetition is the key, and then more repetition until the dogs have trained you to their satisfaction. 

We told her that The Trust would look kindly if she wished to raise the funds to buy her family home from under her father. 

She was apparently worried that some of her family’s scandals might rub off on The Trust. 

Well that caused a slight bout of apoplexy from Dugal. 

The Blackthorn-Badger Trust has funded the overthrow of governments when it suited the family.

And if the whole, and ongoing situation with Elseabeth has not tainted the Trust nothing will. 

Anyway, he continued, why would we care about the options of anyone not kith nor kin. 

Well that rather put her concerns to rest. 

But she had not yet convinced herself that she even wants that pile. 

Well we left her to ruminate on the whole unfortunate affair.

Dugal suggested we do a quick inspection of the house before Mrs. T arrived. Just in case Craig and Niamh effort was below par.

Fortunately, aside from a towel or two out of place all was Bristol Fashion. Thank goodness. 

Miss Pancake

Mrs. Bruna found my friend Zita at our aeroport and brought her home to my house. And I was very very happy. 

I was very good. I did not even bark. And she gave me lots of hugs. My goodness I was so happy.

Then Zita had a bagel and Craig and I had the rest of the rolled up eggs. 

Because we had a together dinner again,

Then Zita and I went for a long nice walking practice. Just on my street.

Because sometimes I forget everything I learned. 

Then we watched a little bit of the baseball game. But we could not see Niamh or Tarryn or Sach. Too bad for us. 

Then Zita had a squeaky clean shower because aeroplanes are a bit smelly. Zita did not want my help. Oh well.

Then we watched our detective program. 

But not for very long because Zita was very tired.

Because of the wrong clocks in far away places.
