Day Four Hundred and Eighty Five

Miss Pancake   

We did not go to the farm this morning because Zita and I were my friend Craig’s very best ever nurses. 

So we stayed right here.

And when Niamh came upstairs Zita made Scotsman’s porridge and we helped Niamh with some secret work. Ha.

Then we all got in the fast car to take Niamh to her work.

When we got home Craig decided to get up.

Zita said that maybe he should just have a nice long bed relax. 

Because he was still very sore, even inside himself sore. 

So maybe he should just stay in bed.

But he said that if he stayed in bed who was going to help Pancake Taylor with her watching window job, if it was not him.

That is why we are very best friends. 

I help him get dressed. 

And then while he got me my first lunch Zita made more Scotsman’s porridge for their lunch. 

Then Zita took a duvet to Kathy’s drying machine and I stayed here and took care of Craig. 

That is what nurses do when you are not feeling so very well. It is my very favourite job.

Sometimes when I am looking out my watching window I keep my feet on the floor.

Just in case in have to go the front door as fast as can be. Ha. 

All our friends wanted to be very big helps. That was very nice of them. It is good to have friends. 

Mister Paul came over and said he might have fixed the drying machine. So he went downstairs where that machine lives.

I stayed up stairs so I could mind Craig and Zita. 

When he came back upstairs he said that machine is nearly all fixed and he is going to put in another part so it will be all fixed.

Then everybody had coffees and biscuits. Ha. 

Before dinnertime we took Niamh to Tyler’s little apartment. 

Then I had my dinner and Craig and Zita had tasty chicken from Greece. And roll ups too. Ha.

And Zita sent the very same dinner to Tyler with Niamh. 

My friend Lee was in Greece digging up very old beautiful things for the nice university. 

Then I had my second dinner and Zita put brand new sheets on the bed.

Because of the operation. 

When I had my operation I did not have any little bandages. 

I had my own bandages suit. And it was red.

And when I had my other operation I got a lovely blue bandage suit. 

They did not have a nice suit for Craig. I do not know why. 

Maybe they did not have his favourite colour. 

Then we watched the lady detective, but not for a long time because Craig was too tired. 

Because of the hospital. So we all went to bed. 

Day Four Hundred and Eighty Four

Miss Pancake    

I do not have such a nice long story today.

Because I was so busy.

Zita and I went to our farm but it was icy again so we only walked on the no ice places and the roads too.

Our farmers clean the roads as soon as it snows. That is good. 

But before lunchtime Mister Clifford took my friend Craig to the little hospital.

I could not tell him such a long story today.

Because he was not here.

So I had to wait until he came all the way back home before I could tell him all about my adventures.

And he could tell me all about his adventures in the little hospital. 

Professor Jill came here to help me look out my watching window.

After a while Mister Clifford brought Zita home but not Craig. 

Zita told me that when she was leaving that hospital Kathy was there just in case she needed help. 

My goodness.

That is why all those Mahoneys are our all the time friends.

Those are the very best kind of friends. 

So Clifford took Zita and I to the farm again, so we would not worry way too much.

And when Clifford and Zita went back to that hospital I went to mind Bruna and Lee in their house. Ha.

When Zita came and brought me home, Craig was already right in the big comfy bed.

So I got up right away. And he was very happy to see Nurse Pancake. 

So I got right in tight so I could get his bottom toasty warm.

Then I told him all my adventures.

Because Craig and Zita and Clifford were so busy in the morning they forgot to tell Professor Jill about my lunchtime. 

And I nearly starved all away.

But when Zita got home she remembered and I had my nice afternoon nap.

Because I was all full up again.

Then Zita and I found Niamh’s aeroplane right on Zita’s telephone. 

So I knew she would be home tonight too. Ha. 

And after I told him all about my second trip to our farm. 

Because it was all cold again the snow was not nice jumping snow, it was nasty falling down ice. 

So we just went on the sidewalk and the roads again so we did not fall down even one time.

I asked Craig about that hospital’s food. 

And Craig said it was not the nasty food hospital, because it was a little hospital and did not give you food. 

Because it was a hospital only for little operations. 

Emmet was in the nasty food hospital lots of times.

So Zita brought him food from our own kitchen so he did not starve. My friend Poppy told me.

Sometimes when I am fast asleep in my own little house I hear her in my dreams. 

That is how I know all those things before me. 

Then Craig told me they had a machine that lifted him up to the very high hospital bed. 

And this time it did not squish his leg way way too much.

Because the little hospital nurses did not make any mistakes. That was good.

But he was still very sore all over and had even more holes in his arms. My goodness.

And he was very tired.

When I had my operations I was very tired too. So Craig and I had a together nap. 

Then my friend Niamh got home and we were all in the big bedroom and talked about her hotel trip. 

Until Craig was too tired to listen.

I stayed there to be his very best nurse Pancake. 

And after he was fast fast asleep I minded Zita and Niamh in the living room.

Then we all went to fast asleep too. 

Day Four Hundred and Eighty Three

Miss Pancake   

It was sleep in Sunday so after we got up, we went back to bed and Zita and I went to fast asleep again.

Craig did not have to go back to sleep because he did not wake up. Ha.

Because it was not cold today the fast car took us right to our farm.

We had not been at our farm for a long time. My goodness me. 

So I had a very good time practicing my big jumping.

And I do not even fall down when I finish.

That is how you know that I am a very good jumper. Ha.

But then we looked and looked everywhere.

But we could not find my warm feet boot. 

Then we had to go home. But I thought we should stay longer. So I hid. 

But Zita found me. I am not such a good hider in the snow. Oh well.

When we got home Zita talked to her mother and father in Ireland. I had a nap.

Then Professor Jill came for a visit. 

When she was gone Craig got all dressed. I helped him.

Because I am his very best helper. 

We had our together lunch.

My friend Niamh is still away with Tarryn and Sach. They have boats there at that hotel.

But I do not think they should go in those boats. 

Because they are very small but whales are very big. 

So they should just stay in those swimming pools. They are too small for whales. Ha. 

Zita made Scotsman’s porridge for lunch and Craig had some too. 

But the Badgers could not have any, and it is their very favourite.

Because they were out at Miss Irene’s having very tall hamburgers with some of their friends. 

Too bad for them.

I know an important secret. But I cannot tell anyone. Because it is a secret. Ha.

For our dinnertime we had those special for dinnertime bagels from Mister Kettleman’s. 

Mister Kettleman cooks his very tasty bagels just up my other street. 

And they make lots and lots of them.

Because they are very tasty bagels. 

My friend Emmet always brings some back to Ireland for Alice. 

Because they do not have especially tasty bagels in Cork. Too bad for them. 

Zita got two bagels and more salmons for those bagels.

And Craig had a bagel full of everything, even steaks and cheese and eggs. 

And even special cooked flat potatoes too. 

My goodness it was a dinner right inside a bagel.

We had to change all the sheets this afternoon.

Because the hospital told us to. 

So I can only have nice naps on the duvet not the very clean sheets. 

And he got very special hospital soap to make him all squeaky clean. 

Because Craig is going there tomorrow after lunch. So that nice Doctor can fix him all up.

And when he comes home at dinner time Zita asked me to be his very best helper nurse. Ha. 

That is my very best job. 

After our bagels we watched the old car detective until we were all tired again. 

Then we went to bed. After the soap got Craig squeaky clean. 

Day Four Hundred and Eighty Two

Miss Pancake   

I had a very busy morning because it was still too icy for fast running at our farm.

So I helped Zita when she went to the hardware store. 

And before we went inside I practiced my being a very calm dog. 

Then we went inside and I practiced my slow walking. 

When we got home we did my homework from my own school.

All that practicing made me very tired.

So I had my morning nap on the big bed with my friend Craig while he listened to his book. 

I kept him very toasty warm until he got all dressed. So then I helped him get dressed too. 

Mister Kirian came this morning to take away lots of the snow. 

I got into a bit of trouble because I forgot he was my friend. Oh well. 

When he was all finished he came in and had coffee and toasts with Craig and me. 

Then after he went to his work Zita and I cleaned the house and I practiced being a no barking dog.

That is a very hard job for me. It is true.

But when I do not bark I get special treats.

But sometimes I forget. Oh dear. 

My friend Sach sent me some pictures of the beautiful place where they are staying. 

And they are staying right beside a wavy ocean. My goodness.

I think they have very big beds there. 

Because all the ladies were on the very same bed.

Sometimes in the morning Craig and Zita and I are all in the same bed. 

But then it is time for my breakfast. Oh well.

We have very beautiful flowers in our house. 

Zita got them so our new elephant will feel like it is in a jungle. 

Because that is where elephants like to live. Ha. 

It came to our house at Merry Christmas time. And it has a tattoo. 

Just like everybody here, except for Craig and Zita. Even me. Ha. 

But nobody can see my tattoo, because it is hidden in my ear.

Emmet has some on both arms. And Miss Doctor Alice has some on her leg. 

And Niamh has some little ones. 

I do not know why Craig and Zita do not have any tattoos. 

How will we find them if they get lost. My goodness. 

For dinner Craig and Zita had an omelette with mushrooms and some brand new very very tasty cheese from Mister Cheddar.

I got some. It was very tasty. 

Then we watched the old car lady detective. 

That is our favourite detective program.

We had some cookies and hot chocolate in a big cup when we watched that program. 

Then it was time for us to go to our comfy beds. 

Day Four Hundred and Eighty One

Miss Pancake  

It was a bit of a nasty day outside today.

But the fast car is not afraid of the rain, so it took Zita and I to our farm.

I could not practice my fast running because of the icy top on all the snow.

So we just had a quiet waking around at the edge of the lots of snow.

And then I lost one of my warm feet boots.

Because my feet went right through the ice and that boot got caught and we could not find it anywhere. Oh dear. 

Maybe I can use one of Poppy’s old ones. She would not mind. She told me. 

We did not drive my friend Niamh to her work today.

Because she is in far away Mexico.

With the wedding lady friends.

They are in a beautiful hotel and it has lots of restaurants and even lots of swimming pools too.

My goodness me. 

I was a very big help when Craig got all dressed this morning. 

He did not have even a little sleep in today.

And after lunch my friend Lee came over to watch out the window with me.

Because Craig went to visit the hospital’s doughnut machine.

Mister Clifford took him and Zita there.

Mister Clifford is not afraid of the rain either. That is good. 

Because it was a very rainy day today. And not even cold. 

It took a very long time for Mister Clifford to bring Craig and Zita home.

And Craig was a bit too sore. Oh dear me.

And he had holes in both his arms. Oh dear. 

I do not like it when my friend Craig is not here. 

Because I cannot mind him when he is not here. 

And Mister Clifford is not as good a minder as me.

Because he is not so fierce as me. 

And does not have very big teeth like me. 

So I was very glad when Craig came home. 

I jumped up and put my feet on his shoulders so I could give him lots of kisses. Ha. 

But then I went downtown to Zita’s not as nice office. 

In the fast car so I could mind her too. 

Then we went and got some of that smelly gas for the fast car. 

So I was very busy today. 

Because it was only me to mind everything and everybody. 

Because Emmet and Niamh are in way far alway places. So it is only me. 

And all of my friends the Badgers were in bed with long headaches and sick tummies, even after lunchtime. 

And when they got up they went to Miss Irene’s to get lots of very delicious meat for their dinner.

Because they were too sick for breakfast or even lunch. 

But they said that lots of cheese and crackers and those lovely hams from Italy would get them all better right away. 

Craig said they are silly. 

Craig and Zita had the very delicious bits of chicken and fat green beans. 

Then we had lots of time to watch Zita’s favourite lady detective. 

And all we went to bed early because Craig was a bit too sore to stay all awake.

Day Four Hundred and Eighty

Miss Pancake   

I got up in the middle of the night. After I was fast asleep in my little house.

Because Zita took Niamh to the aeroport and I had to go and mind them. My goodness.

But Niamh was not even a bit late. That was good.

And when we got home Zita and I had a middle of the night breakfast together.

Then we went back to fast asleep on the comfy big bed.

And I got Craig’s feet as warm as could be. Ha.

And when we got up we had another breakfast.

But we could not go to the farm today. 

Because last night there was freezey rain and everything was all covered over in ice. 

Zita and Niamh had to put on the special stick in the slippy ice covers for their shoes.

So they would not fall down and get broken. 

So I did not do any fast running this morning.

Because we did not want to fall down at all. 

Even our aeroplanes sometimes get too icy.

But we have big machines that make our aeroplanes shiny clean.

Niamh sent me a picture.

We always go on aeroplanes from our country because we know all about ice. 

So our aeroplanes do not just fall down when it gets all icy outside. 

That is very good for us.

So I had to do my homework with Zita instead of going to our farm. Oh well.

Then when Craig was all awake he talked to a doctor on his flat computer, because he is going to the hospital. 

And tomorrow they will use a very big like a doughnut machine to look inside him. My goodness.

Mister Clifford will take Craig and Zita there. Maybe they will find real doughnuts for us. 

Our computer told us that Niamh band Tarryn and Sach’s aeroplane did not get lost even one time.

So they are all there in Mexico. My goodness me.

There is not any ice there, just sand. 

After Zita and I were finished our work Zita got the big ice chopper and chopped up lots of the too slippy ice.

I sat in the fast car so I could mind her. And not have to wear my boots. 

Then the fast car took us to the hardware store to get some do not slip here sand. My goodness me. 

When we were there I practiced my nice walking and my very polite staying still. 

So I got a tasty treat. 

Today is the special day for our Badgers.

Because they are Scotsmen. 

Maybe that is why they got new bonnets. Maybe. 

Today is when the Scotsmen drink very old whiskey and read sad stories out loud, and cry, but only just a bit. 

Scotsmen only cry a bit. It is a rule.

Sometimes they sing too. And wave their swords around. And dance on top of them. Oh my goodness. 

But we did not have to eat sheeps insides. 

We had very delicious lasagnas instead. That was a good idea.

Craig said that maybe we are Italian Scotsmen. Ha. 

After dinner it was detective programs time for us. 

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Nine

Miss Pancake  

I had a very busy morning.

Because after our breakfast we went to our farm in our fast car. 

And after I was running all over two of my warm toes boots came off, and Zita and to find them.

But when she put then back on she could not use her gloves so she had all frozen fingers.

But when we got back in the car they got all warm again.

Then we drove Niamh to the lovely shop. 

And when we got home Craig got all dressed. I was his helper today.  Ha.

Then Zita took all the snow off Mister Clifford.

I was in our fast car so I could mind her. Ha. That is my favourite job.

Because Kathy had to borrow him to take her mother to a dentist. My goodness. 

Then Zita and I went to the nice lady who makes all my toes beautiful. 

But she does not paint them like Niamh’s toes. 

When Mister Clifford came home it was Mister Kirian who brought him back. 

And then he stayed and moved lots of our too much snow, and have a cup of coffee too. 

Last night my friend Festis got his new hat. But he said it is not a hat, it is a bonnet. I did not know that. 

And now Colonel Dugal has his old bonnet back. He was very happy.

So they all went out for a very big brunch, at Miss Irene’s restaurant.

To celebrate. 

Zita and the fast car went out to get some groceries and to get my friend Niamh too.

So she could finish all her packing for her aeroplane trip. 

And it is in the very very early morning tomorrow. My goodness. 

I will have to get up very early too. 

So I can mind her on the way to our aeroport. My goodness. 

Tonight we had tortellinis with lots of tasty cheese. 

Zita fixed one of Niamh’s very sparkly skirts. For her trip. 

And then we watched Zita’s favourite lady detective. The one with the very old car. 

Mister Tom brought it to us. 

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Eight

Miss Pancake    

We went to our farm for a long time today. The fast car took us.

But it waited until we had our breakfast and it was all toasty warm inside.

I still do not like my boots so much. 

But when we get to the farm Zita puts them on and then I do not get cold feet. Oh well.

But when you do not have cold feet you can run very fast and jump right into big hills of snow.

For a long time too. Ha. 

That is lots of fun for me. 

I think it is fun for Zita too.

Because she laughs all the time, when she is not all frozen up.

When we got home we went right to work.

Because we are very busy people.

But I did not help my friend Craig get all dressed this morning.

Because I was fast asleep. 

I was very tired because I was at my school last night and then I did lots of fast running this morning. He did not mind.

After I had my first lunch we had to wait and then Craig had the very last croissant. 

So he put way too much jam on the croissant pieces.

But Craig told me that sometimes way too much is just enough. Ha. That was good to know. 

After lunch Zita moved the fast car. 

Because tonight Tyler and his father and grandfather are going to the hockey game.

But because of the lots and lots of snow there is nearly no place to put your car. 

So he is going to put it in our driveway with Mister Clifford. My goodness.

Last night Niamh and Tyler were skating on the canal and they did not even fall down even one time. 

After Zita moved the fast car she and Miss Jennifer moved a lot of the snow away.

And now Miss Jennifer has her own snow machine. My goodness.

And she took the snow away from the front of my house.

I watched her all by myself. Ha.

Before dinnertime Zita and I practiced some of the very new things I learned at my school.

When I stand on a box I get treats. I taught that to me myself. Ha.

Zita did not even have to make dinner tonight because Mister Tyler brought us dinner. 

In boxes full of food from far away in Poland. 

And it was very very tasty potatoes all covered in something and with fat cream in a pot with little bits of bacon. 

My goodness that was a treat.

And Niamh was not even here, just Mister Tyler. 

Then he went to that hockey game with his family. 

And we had lots of time to watch our detective program before we went to bed. 

I had a very busy day today. 

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Seven

Miss Pancake. 

It was not so very very cold this morning. It was just too cold.

So after our breakfast we went to our farm in the very toasty warm fast car.

But it was still too cold for my feet, so I had to wear my boots again. 

Zita told me they are beautiful boots, but that is not so true.

Niamh’s has party boots and they are very beautiful. 

But mine are like Zita’s and are only very warm but not very beautiful. Oh well.

Beautiful boots are all sparkly and are very shiny. 

But I had a very nice time running around in the snow. 

Because all my feet were warm. 

But then it was time to go home because today is a back to work Monday for us.

Last night the big machines came and took the snow away from my other street.

Now the cars will not get squished when they go on that street. 

But my street is still all filled up with the too much snow. Oh dear me. 

Our cars will not like that. 

Craig was up early today. 

And after a while Zita had to go to her other office to teach someone how to be a good helper. 

I am her very best helper, and she did not even have to teach me, I just knew how as soon as I got here. Ha. 

Niamh had to go to a store to get very beautiful toes. 

Because she is going to a before a wedding party. 

And it is not even here, it is in far away Mexico.

Tarryn and Sash are going too. That is why they all had to have beautiful toes. 

But they did not have enough money to have beautiful fingers too. Oh well. 

After Zita and Niamh were gone Craig had a toasty croissant for his breakfast.

Then he got me my first lunch. 

But then that croissant was so very tasty we had another and this time it had lots of that jam from France all over.

Croissants taste best with too much jam on top. It is known.

Zita put the jam in the same kind of pot as my own food. 

Because she got the jam from the giant everything store and the jam was too heavy to get out of the refrigerator if your shoulder does not work so very well. 

Then Niamh and Tarryn came back to my house and they had beautiful toes. 

They said next time maybe I could have beautiful toes too. 

Mister Paul came over too. To fix the dry our clothes machine. He said maybe it will work this time. Maybe. 

Craig gave him two not working at all old flat computers. Because Mister Paul fixes things for fun. 

And he took part of that dryer machine away with him. To fix at his house. My goodness.

After he left my house it started to snow again. So I went outside into my side yard. 

Because it was not so very cold today. 

But then it was time for me to keep Craig company in my comfy chair. 

When Zita got home we had a very early dinner.

Because today my own school starts again. My goodness.

I did not know school had started again. Just like Emmet’s school. My goodness.

Maybe I will get an important paper just like Emmet. Maybe.

When I was at school Niamh came home to get her ice skates. Craig told me. 

Because the empty canal is all frozen everyone can skate on it. 

There are even stairs right by our big bridge. 

So Niamh and Tyler are skating downtown together. 

So they can see a movie. My goodness me. 

When we got home from school we were very tired so Zita put on her pyjamas. 

Then she had a cup of tea and I sat on our sofa to keep her toasty warm. 

So we could have a relax and watch the television together.

N

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Six

Miss Pancake    

Zita and I had a bit of a very nice sleep in this morning.

Then Zita had her fluffy coffee and I had my own breakfast then we looked out the window and it as sunny as could be.

But when I went outside it was too cold for my nose. 

But Zita told me that our farm missed us so the fast car took us there.

I started to practice my fast running but nearly right away I could not run.

Because my feet were way too cold. Oh dear me.

But Zita brought those new boots and she put them on me. 

And just like that my feet were not cold so I could do more fast running. 

And Zita’s brand new boots kept her feet toasty warm. 

We stayed with all the beautiful trees around us so that wind could not get us. Ha. 

So we could stay for a while more. 

But not a whole while. It was way too cold for a whole while. 

The fast car was very warm when we got back in for our ride to home. 

And when we got home Mister Tyler was there. I did not know that.

So Zita and Niamh and Tyler drank some more coffee.

And then everybody had Zita’s especially delicious peach with oatmeal’s dessert. 

And they put all fluffed up cream right on top. My goodness me.

And Niamh put ice cream on top too. That is silly. She will get all cold inside. 

Then Niamh and Tyler and the fast car went to find Tyler’s grandma and go out for a lunch at her favourite restaurant. My goodness me.

Zita talk to her own mother and father this morning too. My goodness. 

Craig had another sleeping in so he could listen to his book all about skelly wags in long time ago Italy. 

And when he got up he got me my first lunch right away.

But he could not have anything to eat because of that silly medicine. 

But after a while he could have that delicious dessert and he had the fluffy cream on top too. 

But he did not have any ice cream. Ha.

And then Zita and I had a very big job to do. 

We had to make our bedroom all neat and tidy and spic and span too. My goodness. 

So we had to move lots of things. 

And we found treasure. Under the bed. 

And they were lovely Merry Christmas books that Craig forgot to give himself. 

And they were not even all wrapped up beautifully. But we gave them to him anyway. 

But then Zita brought that clean floor machine upstairs so I went in the living to keep my friend Craig company.

And maybe have a nice afternoon nap in my comfy chair.

After we finished making the bedroom perfect Zita and I went for a long walk. 

Then Mister Clifford took Zita to the too much of everything store.

And when she got home she brought us breakfast toasts jam. Because we ate all our jams.

And she found a giant box full up with tasty croissants. Ha.

Craig and I stayed here to guard our house. Good for us. 

We listened to Mister Willy’s music. 

He makes nice songs with dogs in them. And even horses too.

Those are good songs. 

My noisy brothers are horse guarders far away where they have giant mountains. My goodness.

I am glad I am here guarding my family. 

Because they are not very smelly like horses. 

Some men put signs on my other street. 

That is what they do when the giant take the snow all way machines come to your street. 

They are very noisy machines. 

After I had my dinner it was time for Craig and Zita to have their dinner. 

And it was an already all cooked chicken. Zita brought it home from that everything store. Ha.

When Niamh got home she made a very tasty chicken sandwich. 

But Craig and Zita and I watched our new detective program until it was our bedtime. 

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Five

Miss Pancakes 

It was too cold this morning to go to our farm.

It gets very cold at our farm because the wind blows fast there. 

Zita said it blows all the way from the North Pole. My goodness.

So we had a nice run around in the empty back yard instead.

But I did not have my brand new boots on.

Because I do not like them very much. 

When we got home Craig got all dressed to he could see his old friends on the flat computer.

I saw everyone too. 

Mister Clifford took Zita to Mister Rogers’s beautiful hair shop. 

I stayed her to mind Craig. 

And when he was finished talking we had toasts with honey. And then I had my own lunch.

Then it was time for my lunchtime nap. 

But Craig was still a bit hungry, so he made two round toasts with lots more honey. Ha. 

Then after I helped him I went back to fast asleep. 

When Zita came home I was a not even one bark dog. Ha. So I got a treat. 

Then I had to mind Craig again because Zita went to have biscuits with her friend Bethany. 

She just lives up the other street. So Mister Clifford stayed here. With Craig and me. 

Zita and I went to that backyard but tonight it was not empty. So we just walked around my street. 

And I jumped on to all the very big hills of snow beside the sidewalks. I am a very good jumping dog too.

Then we had a very nice diner and I had both my dinners before we watched a brand new detective program. 

And it is about an old detective and he retired in France.

Craig is retired too but, he stayed here so he could help me look out our watching window. 

To keep our family all safe as can be. 

Day Four Hundred and Seventy Four

Miss Pancake    

My goodness what a big surprise party we had. 

And there was lots and lots and lots of food. 

But there was not so much cheese. Oh well.

But there were sausages and giant bacon instead. My goodness me. 

Sometimes sausages are tastier than cheese. Ha.

Niamh and Tarryn made so many pancakes the kitchen was almost full up. 

And Miss Tarryn had to throw one into the air. 

And then she caught it in the very same pan. My goodness me. 

I do not know why. Maybe it is a rule. 

And Zita asked Mister Jamie to cook the giant bacon on our outside stove even in the very very cold.

But the stove is very warm so he did not freeze all up. 

And when everybody sat down we had everything for delicious pancakes.

There were raspberries and blueberries and cinnamons and even a very big bowl of fluffy cream. 

And there were two cups full of real maple syrup, so everybody could have way too much. 

There were even wines and water from France, because it was my anniversary. 

Craig had a coke, but he had it in a glass because it was a special party. 

And Tarryn made me my very own little pancakes. 

And she put them right on the floor for me. All in a row. Ha. 

Craig gave me a bit of very very tasty sausage, with maple syrup on it. 

But we cannot tell anyone. Ha.

There was so much food we did not even have time for any dessert. 

Craig and Zita went to bed at our bedtime, but I stayed up to mind everybody and to help Niamh drive Tyler back to his apartment. 

When we got home we went right to fast asleep. 

And when everybody woke up it was time to go to work again. Oh well.

But after our breakfast we went for a long run around in that empty garden. 

And I found my big blue ball again. Ha.

Because it was very cold Zita made me put on boots. 

But I did not like them so much. 

And there were only three of them, and I have four feet. 

Zita is going to go to that nice Miss Sue’s store and get me brand new ones. 

Maybe I will like them. Maybe.

When we came back inside to our cosy warm house we went to our office.

Craig had another sleep in but when he got up he got my first lunch right way. 

Then he had his too much coffee. But he did not have his good morning toasts. 

Because he cannot eat anything for a while after he has his sore shoulder medicine. He should get new medicine.

But after a long while he had his another coffee and we had two toasts with honey. 

Honey is very tasty. Our buzzy bees make it. 

Not like those nasty wasps. They do not make anything nice. 

They are just troublemakers. Like my brothers. Ha. 

My friend Niamh came home early today. 

Because those new job people wanted to talk to her again. 

So Zita and I went for an adventure ride, just incase case I had a forget and was a too much barking dog when she was taking to those people. 

So we went to look for very comfy warm boots to keep my feet warm. 

Maybe we can find beautiful ones. Maybe.

When Niamh was all finished talking we came home because it was time for our dinner. 

And when we got home we had four brand new red boots, a very brand new very long leash, for my fast running. 

And when we were out we saw Miss Q’s doughnut store, so we got a whole box of her wonderfully delicious doughnuts. 

And Craig and Zita got one each and Niamh took the rest to Tyler’s.

And when Niamh was gone it was detective program time for us. 

That is when we had the doughnuts. Ha.
