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.
