Day Five Hundred and Sixty Five

Miss Pancake    


It was a very beautiful full of sunshine and not even one cloud.

But it was not so warm at our farm this morning. 

But Zita had her warm as can be coat on. And the fluffy inside gloves too.

And I just ran very fast when I was a bit cold.



I think it was too cold for my cows this morning. 

But we saw the man bringing them their breakfast.

Sometimes Mister Tony’s friend brings us vey delicious pizzas. 

Maybe he brings the cows their delicious food too. Maybe. That is good. 

But then we were too cold and our fast car took us home. 

And when we got there we went into our office.

Because Zita is going to make it beautiful. 

So she had to throw out lots of pieces of paper. 

And I got up on the in the office sofa, and had a relax.

Then Craig got up.

But he did not have any toasts with his good morning coffee. My goodness.

I had to remind him two times that we had not had our good morning toasts. 

So he made his next coffee and put an angry bun in the stove. Ha. Good for me.

When he finished he and Zita took away the old computer and put the new one right there. 

It is not so big as our old computer.

Then Craig had to give everything from the old computer to the new computer. 



My goodness that took a very long time..

But it has very bright colours. Right where Craig puts his fingers. I do not know why. Oh well. 

Zita and the fast car went to get more tasty food, and more angry buns too. Ha. 

Then Niamh came here to steal some from India food, before she went to dinner with Tarryn and Miss Dina. My goodness. 

After we put lots and lots of extra books into the fast car we went to our farm. 

We had the extra from India food for our dinner. I got some squishy bread too. Niamh did not eat it all. Ha.

Then Craig finished making the new computer all perfect.  

So we had lots of time for our detectives. And for my relax.

Day Five Hundred and Sixty Four

Miss Pancake 


I had a very busy day.

Because Craig and Zita and I were busy making the den and my office all tidy.

Because yesterday they made a very big everywhere mess. 

So Zita and I made a very early in the morning visit to our farm.



And when we got there my friends the cows were having their breakfast. My goodness me.

So Zita and I watched them for a long time. 



And then I smelled the wind for a long time. 

Cows do not come outside for their breakfast when there is way too much snow.

Because cows are not so furry as I am.

Except those cows from way far away Scotland. They are very furry. 



With very big pointy horns. Craig said his own relatives used to steal those cows. 

But it was a very very very long time ago. 

I think that stealing those cows would be scary, because those horns are very big. 

Then we practiced my very fast running.



Maybe someday I might have to help our cows, if someone tried to steal them. 

Then I will be the fastest cow guarding dog ever. 

Then we were a bit frozen so we went back home. 

And then Professor Jill came for a nice visit so she could drink tasty coffee.

And when she was gone Craig got up and I helped him. 

And then Craig and Zita had their coffees in the living room and they had angry buns from Dugal’s favourite restaurant.

And they are especially tasty buns, and Zita said they were even good for you buns. My goodness.

Then they went to their tidying up everything jobs.

But I stayed in the living room.

Because I did not want to be tidied into a garbage bag. Ha. 

Then Zita went to see Susan and Craig and I had another angry bun. Ha.

But when Zita got back there was more tidying to do so I had a long relax. Ha.

Then Zita and I went back to our farm. 

Because she was sneezing from all the tidying. 

So I practiced my fast running again. 



And then we looked at some new places for our visits. 



Where there are no new fences. 

Then because we were all very tired Zita went to our restaurant on the busy street and brought back that delicious food from India.

And Craig gave me some of the squishy bread with my second dinner. 

And after we tidied up even more it was time to watch the detective program.

And there was nothing on my comfy sofa because of all the tidying. Ha. 

So I had my after dinner relax right beside my friend Zita. 

Until I woke up and it was bedtime. 

Thursday, 28 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Sixty Three

Miss Pancake   


We had a sleep in, but it was not so long.

Because I had to go outside and look for that raccoon.  

It was not there. And I sniffed all over. Ha. Silly raccoon.

Craig got up early today too.

Then Niamh came home to have an important meeting.

And Kathy came to borrow Mister Clifford to take her mother back to that dentist.

So Zita and I went to our farm. Because it is our own vacation day. 

And it was nice outside. 

So I showed Zita how much faster I can run when all that snow is gone. 

When we got home Craig and Zita went into the office and moved all the extra music machines into the den. 



I could not be a big help because everything was everywhere. 

Even all over my comfy sofa too. 

So I just stayed in the living room and looked out the window at the whole world. 

When everything was all moved the den was still a bit very messy. 

But Craig and Zita did not care. Because they were tired. 

So Zita went to get some brand new food for the refrigerator and Craig and I ate all the Irish bread. Ha. 

When Zita got back home we went back to the farm for some before dinner exercises. 

We had a very good time because it was not so cold this time.

I found a very nice stick. 


So then I could run so fast Zita could not even see me.



And when we got home Mister Tyler was here. And his very fast bicycle too.

Because he and Niamh went out for a very nice dinner before they went to see their movie.

Then Craig and Zita and I made our den nearly all neat and tidy, before we watched the television detectives. 

And tomorrow is another holiday for us. That is a good 




Wednesday, 27 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Sixty Two

Miss Pancake   


Everybody got up right away today. 

So Zita and I had a long time for me to practice my very fast running. 



And I found a giant sign. It used to be on a big building. And Craig used to work there.


But that building is not there anymore. Not for a very long time. 

Now it is that very very big hole. 

And when we got home Craig got all dressed even before I could be his helper. 

And Niamh had breakfast meetings too.

And then Zita went to have a breakfast with Sue and Chris up on the busy street. 

So I minded Craig and when it was time for his next coffee we made toasts.

And that bread was already all cut so the bread fit in the toasts machine. 

Sometimes when Craig cuts the bread it will not fit in that machine. Oh dear. 

And today our cousin Ciara found her brand new house. My goodness.

And it has its own stove so she can make delicious ownmade dinnertimes. 


That was a good idea. 

Maybe she has a toasting machine already.  

So they can have Irish bread for their toasts.

Cousin Ciara’s other name is Zita. My goodness me. 

I do not know why she has my friend Zita’s own name.

Maybe it was a Merry Christmas present. Maybe. 

I was very busy this afternoon more because lots of people came to get those extra books.

And then the man came to bring us that brand new computer. My goodness. 

But I was a too much barking dog. Oh dear.

It is hard not to bark when people you do not even know come right to my front door. Too bad for me. 

Mister Clifford is going to take our friend Kathy and her mother to the dentist after lunch. 

Mister Clifford is very polite. 

So I helped Zita get him all neat and tidy for them. And I looked for that raccoon too. Ha.

When Kathy was all gone Zita and Craig went into the den to move even more things.

And they moved some music machines into the den. 

I did not want to be moved anywhere, so I had a very good relax in the living room. 

Because the den is still a bit very messy. 

Before dinner Niamh and the fast car went to visit Mister Tyler. 

Because he is getting a new suit. Someone is making it just for him. 

But he wanted Niamh to help him. So it would be perfect. 

Zita and I went for our before dinner all around here walk.

And I found a stick. 

But I could not practice my fast running on our street, only in our farm.

Because of all too many cars on our streets. 

So we practiced nice walking. 


Then Kathy was here with Mister Clifford, and right away so was Richard. 

But Mister Kieran and Mister Aidan were not here. Oh well. 

When they were gone it was my dinnertime, so I had my dinner and Craig and Zita had a pie from France for their dinner. 

So we watched a new detective program and it was a from France detective too. 

And tomorrow is a holiday day for Zita. And me too.

Maybe we will have a sleep in. Maybe. 













Tuesday, 26 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Sixty One

Miss Pancake 


There were no raccoons in my bushes this morning. And I looked everywhere. Just in case. 

The fast car does not like raccoons even one bit.

Because they leave dirty footprints on it. My goodness. That is very rude.

So it was very glad I chased it all away. 

Then it took us to our farm for our good morning exercises. 

Niamh went to her all over stretching class, so she did not come with us. Too bad for her.

When we got home it was time for work.

And in a very little bit later I got Craig awake. 

And then I lay on top of  him so he would not get all cold until he got dressed. 

Every nighttime when we go to bed I get up on the bed to keep him toasty warm until Zita comes in. 

Then I get in my very cozy little house. 

Craig cannot go to fast asleep if I do not get him all warm. That is an easy job for me.

This morning we had a cookie when he had his first coffee.

And after my lunchtime he had his another coffee, we had two pieces of Zita’s very delicious Irish bread.

And today we toasted it. Ha.

After lunch Zita went for a no work walk. 

And she asked me to go with her. To guard her from that raccoon. Ha. 

Silly raccoons. That is a good job for me. Because I am very fierce. 

But we did not go for our walk.  Because it was a surprise. 

I went to my beautiful toes store and the very nice lady made my toes all lovely again. 

But she did not paint them. 

Maybe when I go to Emmet’s wedding I will get beautiful painted toes too. 

When we got back home Craig was in the den again moving even more things. 

There were so many every things I could not even get up on my sofa for my relax. 

But I told him and he moved a big box.

Then I had my relax. 

Then I went in our office so I could be Zita’s best helper. 

We had peanut butter toasts for dinner.

Because Zita had to go and make all those costumes fit. Again.

But before she went to that big building, we went for a nice long around here walk. 

When she and the fast car left I stayed here guard Craig and Niamh and Tarryn from that raccoon. 

Craig was in the den again moving even more books. My goodness.

When Zita got home it was nearly just the right time for going to bed. My goodness. 




Day Five Hundred and Sixty

Miss Pancake 


 
My goodness did we ever have a surprise this morning. My goodness me.

When Zita opened my door there was a raccoon in my own bushes. 



But I did not let it catch Zita. 

I stayed right there guarding everyone and my house too. Then it went away. 

So we had a little relax but not for so long because it was our back to work day. 

And everybody was very busy. 

Even Craig. My goodness me.

But Zita and I had time to go to the farm.

I could not guard my friends the beautiful trees because they put big fences all over. 

It was only a bit warm this morning,  so I did my fast running for the whole time.



But then we had to go home because of the work.

I do not want to go home when I am at the farm.

I told Craig we should put our house right there in the farm.

But he said if we moved the house we would not have my very beautiful pond and all my friends the ducks. 

Oh dear. That would not be so good. Oh well.

When we got home Niamh was nearly awake. But not all awake.

Because she could not go fast asleep last night. Oh dear. 

But we had our together breakfast then she went to her office and I went to our own office.

And after our first important meeting Craig got up too.

And right after his next coffee he went into the den to move things everywhere. 

And put things in boxes. Even books. My goodness. And he was there for a long time.

Even until it was time for my second lunch. 

Then a boy came to our house. 

And he had a dog and it barked at me. 

And I was in my very own hose. That was not so polite. 

But I was a much better loud barking dog. Ha. 

Craig gave some extra books. 

Then they went away. Ha.

Then Craig and I made a peanut butter and honey sandwich. And it was very very fat.

Because Craig is not such a very good bread cutter. It is known. 

I went outside lots of times today to make sure that raccoon did not come back to steal our garbage. 

I did not have to mind Craig so much today because he was in the den moving everything all around. Oh well. 

Because we worked so very hard today the fast car took Zita and Niamh and I to the farm. Right away. Ha.

And we ran all around until there was not a bit of work left in our heads. 

And when we got back Zita helped Craig in the den. 

Because where he moved things there was of dust. But now there is not. 

And Niamh made a delicious pastas dinner with lots of tasty balls.

And she made the very tasty sauce right from inside her head. 

Then Niamh went to see her lady friends and Craig and Zita and I went in the den to watch our detective program.

Day Five Hundred and Fifty Nine

Miss Pancake


My goodness it was a cold toes day today. 

But Zita and I did not care because we are tough Canadians. Zita said so. Ha.

Mister Clifford took us to our farm today.

Mister Clifford is a little bit scary, because he is noisy inside. 

But Zita said I was very brave. That is true.



When we got to our farm those men had not cut down anymore of our very beautiful trees. 

So we were not sad all the time today.

We were just cold. 

But when we got home Zita had some warm you all up Irish tea.

Then she made the very delicious Irish bread. Just for us. 

And then she called her own parents in far far away Dublin. 

So I went in the den for my before lunchtime nap.

Then I got Craig awake but when I went outside to see my friends the birds he got nearly all dressed by himself. 

So I was not there to be his very best helper. Oh dear.

But he did not mind. 

When he had his first coffee we had that bread all toasted, with too much butter. Ha.

But then Zita had an important errand so I stayed here to mind Craig.

But he did not just stay in the living room reading his book.

He went in the den and put lots and lots of our way too much movies in big boxes. 

Because Zita and my office is way too full of everything to be a very nice office. 

So we are going to put those music machine in the den. With their friends. My goodness.

He was there for a very long time. And then Niamh and Tarryn came here. And right after Zita that came back.

And she helped Craig fill up so many boxes. And the den is still not empty. My goodness.

But then they were all finished. 

But Craig said that tomorrow he has to clean out all the drawers because they are full up with even more stuff. 

So then Zita and I went to our farm and it was not so cold.

And I had a very good time fast running all over. 



And we looked at that building where all the farmers find interesting new things to grow at the farm.


But they were not there today so went home because it was our dinner time. 

We had very tasty sausages and cheese sandwiches for our dinner. Tarryn was here too. 

Then it was detective time for us. 




Saturday, 23 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Fifty Eight

Miss Pancake   


It was windy and cold this morning so we had a very little sleep in before our breakfasts.

Then we went to the farm and we were sad again.

Those men chopped down even more of my most favourite beautiful trees. 

I did not like it at all. 

Those were our trees and they did not ask us if they could chop them down. That is not all right. 

I looked and looked and then I found them.


But they were all chopped up into little pieces. 

And even after lots of very big jumping I was still sad.



So we came back home so we could talk to Auntie Eileen. 

When Zita talks to Auntie Eileen I alway have a nice relax. 



Then Craig got up. I helped him. I am his very best helper.

When your shoulder does not work so very well, it is good to have a good helper just like me.

And Zita too.

Then it was time for my lunch. That is a good time.

Then when Craig had his very first coffee Zita went to the drugs store and the post office. For rascal ladies work.

When she got back home she remembered that today was the clean the house day. Oh well.

But Craig made her a toast she would not have an all empty tummy when she was making our house spic and span.

Sometimes both Zita and Niamh forget to eat. Not just their lunch, but everything. My goodness me.

When you forget to eat you will just fall right over and lie on the floor, until someone gives you a chicken sandwich. 

Or maybe a toasty bagel, or some very delicious cheese. 

My goodness me. I am glad I do not forget to eat. 

Today was the day that my friend Emmet talked to all the people in the castle about his old as can be friends. 

Emmet told me that Lord Mayor was there too. 



I did not know they had Lords in far away Ireland.

Niamh had a breakfast meeting in Lord Elgin’s hotel. Maybe they are friends. Maybe. 

My friend Dugal was a Lord but now he is a Duke. 

So now his is  a “Your Grace” not just your “Lordship” I do not know why.

Festis and Furrgus just call him Uncle. And Cousin Mórag just calls him Duke Silly. That is not so nice.

I do not think he will make her any very delicious soufflés, when they all finish at that cooking school. Too bad for her.

Maybe he will make them for me instead. Ha. 

Soufflés have lots and lots of fluffy eggs in them. So they are very good for you. Ha. 

When the house was all neat and tidy, Zita and I went to the farm for our before dinner run around. 

And there were men still cutting down our trees. 



So now my own favourite spot is all empty. 

And when we got home it was dinner time. Not just for me, but for Craig and Zita too. 

Today is the day for all the puppies in the world. 

I did not get a present because I am nearly an all grownup lady. 

That is why Craig always call me Miss Pancake Taylor. Ha. 

And he gave me extra for dinner.

Because I am always his best puppy. Ha.

Then we watched and other brand new detective program. Maybe this one will be very interesting. Maybe.

Then I went fast asleep right beside Zita. So I did not know what happened at. Oh well.

Then we went to bed. 







Friday, 22 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Fifty Seven

Miss Pancake    


We went to our farm right after breakfast. 

And it was very cold at the farm. 

But now there were even more fences around my favourite fast running places.



So Zita and I were sad again. 

So we went over to where they have all the very beautiful plants and I did a lot of fast running there. 

So we could not see the empty places where my trees used to be. Oh dear. 

We were still sad when we went home. 

I think the fast car was sad too. 

And I did not tell Mister Clifford. Because I did not want him to be sad too.

So I went in to help Craig get all dressed. 

He said he has to be presentable even if he is not neat and tidy. 

He said we could have cookies for breakfast. Then I was not so sad.

Zita had to go downtown again to go to another meeting in a different place today. Oh dear.

So after Zita left it was only Craig and me and Mister Clifford. 

After a little while Craig had his coffee and there were new cookies.

And they were made of peanut butter. They were Peanut Butter cookies. My goodness me.

They were very delicious, so we had three. My goodness. 

Then I went outside for a long time to watch my friends the little birds. 

That is a good job. 

When I came in I had my good morning nap.

Craig was busy finding a brand new computer.

Because the big computer is now so old that some interesting things cannot find that computer. 

So he had to find a new one.

Then it was time for lunch and after I had my lunch Craig put two croissants right inside the stove.

And when they were all toasty he broke them and put lots of butter on all those pieces.

And some of those pieces were mine. And all the crumbs too. 

Then I had a very nice relax.

And Niamh came home too. 

Because she had to have a squeaky clean shower. 

Because she is going to Tarryn’s parent’s house for a birthday dinner. 

There were a lot of big machines on my street this afternoon. Craig somebody was fixing their house. 

Then Zita said Craig should make the stove hot for her.  

That is what we do when we make tasty pizza.

And we watched a new detective program because the other was not so very interesting.

Then I kept the sofa warm for Zita. 

But when we were watching the detectives I went to sleep right away. Oh well.









Thursday, 21 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Thirty Six

Miss Pancake 


My goodness me. When I got up and went outside it was so cold I came right back in. My goodness.

Then Zita and I had our breakfasts and after a while we decided to go for our farm exercises anyway.

So Zita put on her long warm coat and her hat and her scarf and her warm as can be gloves. 

She started the fast car before we got in so it was toasty warm before it had to wake up. 

Then we all went to our farm for some fast running.

And when we got there some men had cut down lots of beautiful tree. Because of the brand new hospital. 

But we were very sad. 

Because they were very beautiful trees. And now they put up big fences.



And now I cannot do my fast running right there anymore. 

But we did not stay for a long time this morning because we were both too cold.

Even my tail got cold. Oh well.

Very soon we were back in our own warm house.

Niamh did not go to that stretching everything class this morning because it was too cold.

But I got in trouble because I stole Zita’s shoes and when she caught me I stole all the little table cloths. 

And got in trouble again. 

So I went into the bedroom and helped Craig get all dressed. Ha.

Then Zita had to go downtown to have a lunch with all the rascal ladies.

So I stayed here to mind Craig and Niamh. 

Very soon my friend Emmet is going to tell everybody the stories about their scary friends.

The ones who lived in long long time ago Ireland.


Mister Cú Cullen and maybe even Mister Cernach too. My goodness. All his friends. 

And they are going to be talking in a castle. My goodness me.



But I cannot go because it is in far away Cork, in Ireland. Too bad for me. 

Cousin Ciara’s university had its own castle too.

I think our nice university should have a castle too. That would be a good idea. 

And a big moat for nice dogs to swim in. That is a very good idea.

I had a very big lunch today. 

Because of that skinny word. 

And when Craig had his even another coffee he made a very fat peanut butter and honey sandwich.

With lots of tasty peanut butter. And I got a big piece. 

Then I stayed in front of our office until Niamh let me in. She was very busy today. 

So I was very quiet. 

But I had to go outside to make sure my friends the little birds were alright. 

They fly very fast but I watch them every time I go outside. 

Sometimes there are even very red birds in my hedge. But they are bigger. 

When Niamh was all finished her work our fast car brought Zita home.

So everybody was here.

So then our fast car took Zita and me to the farm before the car got all cold too. Ha.

But it was still very cold this evening.



But we could not stay too long because Zita had to take Niamh to Dina’s apartment.

And it was past my own dinner time but when we got home Craig got it ready just like that.

And when Zita got back home she had delicious rolled ups with her.

She got them from the nice man on the busy street. 

Then we had time to watch our detective program tonight.




Wednesday, 20 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Thirty Five

Miss Pancake 



My goodness we had another very busy morning.

Niamh went to her stretching everything class.

And as soon as she got back we got in the fast car so we could go to our farm. 

And there was some snow there. But there was no snow at my house. 

But there was not so much snow, so I found my stick as soon as we got out of our car. 

So I could be a fast runner right away..



And when we got home Craig got up too. 

Because Mister Clifford took him and Zita to see a doctor. 

So I stayed here so I could mind my friend Niamh. And she worked in my office.

So she could look out the window and see our park. 

I look out the window in the den to see our park. Because I can stand up on the comfy sofa. Ha.

That doctor had a machine that moved Craig’s hands all by itself.  My goodness me. 

I would not like that so much. Maybe my own tail would be waggling all by itself. Oh dear.

But Craig did not mind that his hand was moving all around. 

And the doctor said Craig’s hand will not just stop for ever. That is good. 

And when they got home they brought some very delicious sticky buns with them.


Because there is lots and lots of room in Mister Clifford. It is known. 

So there was enough room for even some angry buns too.

So when Craig had his very first coffee he had a sticky bun. 

But they were so big he needed me to help him. Ha.

Then Niamh drove Zita to her downtown other office. 

Because she has a lot of very important meetings to go to. And even some dinners too. 

So she has to be downtown every day for lots of days. Too bad for her. 

I stayed in the living room with Craig and Niamh was in our office.

Craig and I had two cookies before my second lunchtime. 

And when Niamh was all finished worked the fast car took us right to our farm. 

And we had a lot of very fast running. 


And I found a good stick to chew.



And we got home Mister McDonald’s friend brought us some tasty food and I got two chips.

And then Niamh went to bring Zita home. 

I went with her because it was very dark and you always need a fierce minder dog when you are out at night. 

And I am very fierce. It is known. 

And when we got home everyone was so tired we could not watch the detective program tonight.

So we went to bed all together to our own comfy beds. 








Tuesday, 19 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Thirty Four

 Miss Pancake 



I had a very quiet day today.

Because everybody was very busy.

Niamh went to her stretch everything class when I was fast asleep.

But I was wide awake when she got back home. Ha. 

And I caught her in our side yard. All by myself.



When we went to our farm it was a little bit too cold so I fast was running all the time.

And I did not get too cold.

And Zita wore her toasty warm coat, so she was not cold either. That was good.

But we had to go to work when we got home. Oh well. 

Niamh was very busy too. So I had to be a very polite no barking dog. 

But when I helped Craig get all dressed he found me my lunch and after his first coffee we had croissants.

And they were brand new croissants so Craig put them in the oven and in only a little bit of time they were all toasty.

So he put lots of butter on them just for us. 

And after his second coffee we had two of those very delicious cookies. 

Then Zita and the fast car had to do some rascal ladies errands so I minded Craig and Niamh all afternoon.

So I had a very quiet day. 

When everybody was all finished their work Zita and I went for a walk all around my own neighbourhood.

And Niamh went to get Dina.

So they could get a cake.

Because today is Tarryn’s sing happy birthday day. 

When we got home I had my first dinner and Craig and Zita had theirs too.

But after dinner Zita and went to make those costumes fit all just perfectly. 

So it was a Craig and Pancake time, so we had two new cookies. 

When we are alone I get tasty treats. 

And when Zita got back there was still time to watch our detective program.

And have some cookies too.





Monday, 18 March 2024

Day Five Hundred and Thirty Three

Miss Pancake    



It was back to work today. Because it is back to work Monday.

But we went to our farm before we went to our office.

Because all the brand new air makes your head all ready to do your important work. 

There was a little bit of snow there.

But I found my stick.



So I could still be a fast running dog. 

Even in the snow.  



But when we got home we went to work right away.

Niamh did not to to her work right away because she has an important meeting after our dinner time. 

And Craig had a big sleep in.

Because he had a very sick tummy this morning. 

But I could not be his all the time nurse this morning.

Because I had to be Zita best assistant too.

But I went into the bed room and I sniffed and sniffed his head, and he was not just dead. That was good.

But when he got up it was lunchtime for us.

So after I finished my lunch we had a toasty croissant with lots of butter. 

And after he finished his first coffee we had some cookies. 

And I got all the crumbs. Those are my favourite. 

Because it is Monday I can tell everybody a secret. 

My friend Emmet told me the secret, but told me not to tell anyone until Emmet told them.

Because it was their secret. Not my secret. 

Now it is for everybody because it is not a secret anymore. 

My friend Emmet is going to get married to Miss Doctor Alice. My goodness me. That was a very good secret.

And Emmet gave Miss Alice a very beautiful ring. 



And they had some people in Ireland make it just for them. 

My goodness that was a good idea. 

That is how you know you are going to get married. 

Craig did not give Zita a beautiful ring. 

He gave her a clothes cleaning and clothes drying machines instead. My goodness.

Because Craig did not have even one of those machines in his house. 

He had camera machines instead. 

Maybe he only wore dirty clothes. Oh dear me. 

I was a good idea that Zita married him. 

Now he is only sometimes very dirty. 

And now Niamh will have to find another as beautiful as can be dress. My goodness me. 

When your big brother is going to get married you have to have the most very beautiful dress ever. It is our rule. 

After lunchtime Craig bought another music machine, so a nice man brought it right to our house.



And this music machine is not even a bit black. Ha. 

But it is nearly perfect Craig said. 

But I thought he had enough music machines. Oh well. 

Zita went out this afternoon to do some important errands at Mister IKEA’s store, so I minded Craig and Niamh all by myself. 

And I had a comfy relax in my chair at the same time. 

When Zita got home Zita and Niamh and zo went to our farm together.  

And the snow was all gone away. Ha.

Day Five Hundred and Thirty Two

Miss Pancake   


Zita and I got up early this morning because I thought it was a good time to look outside. 

But it was not so interesting because it was just a lot of rain.

So we decided to get all awake anyway.

When it was not even a bit nearly raining we went to our farm, because it was all sunshine again. 


And when we were walking all around we found a sign. On my favourite tree.


And Zita told me that the sign said my favourite giant tree was given to us by nearly a King. A very long time ago. 

That is why it is so very big. Goodness gracious me.

But I got a bit too muddy today. So we went home so I would have clean feet. Oh well. 

Then we were busy with lots of dirty clothes and giving money to the government and talking to Zita’s mother and farther in way far away. 

Craig did not have such a long sleep in today. 

I minded him when he got dressed. 

And then after a while it was everybody’s lunchtime.

I got extras today. 

And Craig and Zita had Scotsman’s porridge. But Craig and Zita have different porridges. 

Zita just puts a bit of butter on top, but Craig hides his porridge underneath too much brown sugar. My goodness. 

It was a silly day outside of my house. Sometimes it is just all the time rain and then it is just full of sunshine. My goodness. 

Zita went into the garden and sawed off some branches of our new tree. With that very dangerous from Japan saw.

Now the other branches will grow even more so it will be a fat tree. Ha. 

Then it started to rain and she came in for some Irish tea.

Today is Mister Saint Patrick’s own day. 

That is when everybody thinks they are all Irish. And they are not. My goodness. 

Zita and Emmet and Niamh are very Irish, because they have little red books that say they are really from Ireland. 


And are not just pretending. 

Craig says he is Canadian because all his relatives sailed away from Scotland a long long long time ago.

After they lost a war. Oh dear. 

So they sailed here from those islands where Dugal’s castle is. 

I think you cannot be from somewhere if all your family left so long ago nobody remembers them. 

All the badgers are from Scotland and they can listen to bagpipes all day long and not have nasty headaches. Ha.

And Mister General Clay and Mister Tre’r Ceiri are from Wales, because that is where very fierce dragons live. 

Mister Ceiri even has a very big castle there. But it is all fallen down. That is why Zita said he could live here. 

The Dragons told me that Mister Saint Patrick was from there and not Ireland at all. My goodness.

Maybe I will ask Emmet because they know everything about long long time ago in Ireland.  

And Emmet even teaches it. In Ireland. My goodness me. 

I do not know why everybody thinks they should be Irish. 

I think you have to make the very delicious Irish toasty bread before you can be Irish. 



I think it is the rule. Ha. 

All of the very lovely Bouvier dogs came from France, so we are not Irish either. 

That is why we love cheese, especially that very tasty blue and white cheese. 

If you are very lucky you can have fat croissants and that cheese at the same time. 

Craig’s friend Mister Adam lives in France. I think he must have croissants every day. 

Because there is a little restaurant right across the street from his apartment. 



That is a tasty idea. Ha.

Craig had a croissant way after lunch time, and it was not even a bit toasty or full of butter.

But it was still very delicious. 

Today is also Colonel Dugal’s two hundred and elevententh birthday. My goodness me.

And all  Craig’s friends, the stuffed animals have the very same birthday. 

But they are not so very old as Dugal.

Emmet and Niamh have the very same birthday too. 

Maybe it is a rule in our house. Maybe.

When Craig was writing my story in the den I minded him.

Then Zita and I went to the farm again. And this time it was a sunny as could be. Ha. 


And I found a good stick for fast running. Good for me.

And we looked right inside the buildings full of beautiful flowers. 



Soon they will be all outside so everyone can see how beautiful flowers are. That is good.

And when we got home it was dinner time. And I got an extra big dinner.

Because of the too skinny. Ha.

And Craig and Zita own made lasagnas. 

Lasagnas have lots of cheese inside. 

And after Zita had a squeaky clean shower before we watched our detective program.

And before we went to very fast asleep.

Because we had a busy day.

Day Five Hundred and Thirty One

Miss Pancake  



Zita and I had a little sleep in this morning, but Craig had a very long sleep in until my lunchtime. 

Because he did not go to fast asleep so much last might because of that broken leg with all the steel inside.

But he took some of his medicine and did not wake up until nearly lunchtime.

But I helped him get all dressed. Because we are best friends. And so he could find my breakfast.

When Craig was fast fast asleep Zita and I were very busy.

After our breakfast we went to our farm. The fast car was not even a bit sleepy. 

I practiced my very fast running. Zita said that today was a very good day for fast running. 



And we had a very good time because we always have a good time at our farm. 



And it is not even a bit far away from my house. 



It is right in the middle of our city. 

When we got home Zita fixed some of the costumes for that play and I had my morning relax.

After Craig was all awake and I had my first lunchtime I helped him with the toasts.

We had our own made Irish bread.

And we made it toasty and then we put so much jam on top that we need brand new jams. My goodness.

So then Zita went to the too much store to get their very tasty croissants and the cheese for our pastas. Ha.

So I stayed cat home so I could mind Craig. 

So when he had some cookies I was right there to clean everything all up. 


Especially all the crumbs.

When Zita got home she had, all sorts of things, and croissants and a giant bottle of peanut butter.

Now we have enough peanut butter for ever. 

Then Craig and Zita and I got into Mister Clifford and we went to our farm again. 

So I could show Craig my very very fast running, and my high as could be jumping. 

When we got home we had some of Zita’s own made soup and I got an extra dinner.

Because now all my too much fur is all gone everybody says that I am a bit too skinny. 

So Craig gave me even another dinnertime. Ha. What a very good idea.

Then it was time for all of us to watch our funny detective program. 

And before I woke up it was our bedtime.
