Day Six Hundred and Fifty Seven

Miss Pancake 

My goodness me.

I forgot that Zita would not be home last night.

So I did not sleep in our big bedroom in my own little house.

I slept in the living room on my own chair. So I would see her when she got home. 

But she stayed at that manor place, so she could see Tara and Taylor dancing. 

Emmet and Niamh were both there too. 

My friend Niamh was a helper lady again. 

So only Craig and I slept here last night.  

And when Craig got up very very early in the morning I was still fast fast asleep. My goodness me. 

But there were blueberries muffins in the refrigerator, and when I finished my first breakfast I had to help Craig with the muffins. 

Because he was still nearly still fast asleep.

Because it was still very early in the morning.~

}

So he had another coffee. And another muffin. My goodness me. 

Then it was just the right time for a relax. 

Because maybe I was full up with muffin bits. Oh well. 

My friend Zita told Craig that she was all awake, and was going to drive Emmet to that Aeroport, where the to Ireland aeroplane lives. 

Then she is going to come back to our house. Ha. That is a good idea. 

Tomorrow is our for everybody who lives here holiday. 

So Zita and I do not have to go to work. And Niamh does not have to go either. Ha. 

Lots and lots of way too many people will be all over downtown. So we will not go there. 

And late at night some people will use those fireworks to make scary loud noises and those noises are way to bright too. 

But Craig is not scare of them being he said they are just pretend thunderstorms. 

And we are not afraid of thunderstorms. If we are together. Ha. 

When we were looking out my window we saw people wearing flags instead of shirts. My goodness.

So after having a nap outside in my side yard I came in to finish it in the living room. 

So I could be Craig’s best minder friend too. 

And we saw a policeman taking lots of pictures of my own corner. I did not know why.

Craig did not know either. Maybe it is a mystery. Ha. 

But my street was all full of lost cars again. 

My friend Niamh came home from the wedding, but only stayed for a very little bit.

Because she was going to Tyler’s for dinner. And needed comfy clothes. 

Not her very beautiful for weddings clothes. 

Zita and that Jeep are coming home on the very fast roads. Craig showed me. 

Right on his flat computer. My goodness. 

And then, just like magic, my friend Zita was home. 

I was very very happy so I brought her my favourite pulling rings. 

She was very happy to see me, and Craig too. 

After our dinner Craig watched his football team for a little while, but then we went to bed.

Because everybody was very tired. 

Day Six Hundred and Fifty Six

Miss Pancakes

My goodness gracious me.

Everyone was up very early this morning, even my friend Craig.

I went into the bedroom to make sure he did not go back to fast asleep.

Zita and Emmet had lots and lots of filled up bags on the floor in the kitchen.

Then a car came and took Zita to the borrow a car store.

And when she came back she had a brand new Jeep. 

But it was not so small like Sach’s Jeep, and this one had a real roof, and the doors do not just come off. That is good. 

So Zita and Emmet filled up the back seat with everything in the world. 

So they would be all ready for Tara’s wedding. 

Because today is that day. 

Niamh and Tyler are already there.

Because they had to go to a special before a wedding dinner party, at the very lovely place where they are staying.

Zita and Emmet are going to stay there tonight. 

But it is not a hotel. 

Because it is a manor. Craig showed me the picture.

Manors are like hotels, but they are not in somewhere’s downtown. 

And they are not close to anything. Ha. 

Craig has a manor game on his computer. But it is not the same manor. 

Because Craig’s has knights and big horses. 

This one has a beautiful swimming pool instead. 

Niamh and all the wedding ladies were there last night. 

And there is a lovely place, just down the road, where they make very delicious food. 

And they are going to make their delicious food especially for the tasty giant dinner.

After Tara and Taylor are all married. My goodness. 

Maybe everybody will dance. 

Craig and I are going to watch the wedding right on our computer. My goodness.

Maybe we will have treats, maybe popcorns. Ha. 

My friend Lee came over to visit me and we played blue ball for a long time. 

Then I had a relax, and Craig and I listened to Mister Gene’s soft music. 

Then a man brought us two muffins for our breakfast tomorrow.

And some of Mister McDonald’s pretend chips. So we could watch the football game. 

I got three chips. Ha.

And because Zita has to stay at that manor I get to sleep on the big bed. 

Because there is lots of room when it is only Craig there. Ha. 

Day Six Hundred and Fifty Five

Miss Pancake

We had a lovely good morning walk all around my neighbourhood, even our pond.

Because it was a very beautiful morning today. 

But then we went for an adventure ride in our fast car.

We went to Mister Mike’s fix your car store. 

Because they said to visit them, so they could see if our brand new very fast tires were still perfect. 

So that is what we did. 

And when they looked at all of them, they were perfect. Ha. 

Tomorrow Zita and Emmet are going to go to Tara’s wedding place. 

Early in the morning, so they will not be late.

You cannot be late for your best friend’s wedding. It is the rule. 

And the fast car is not going to take them. 

Because it is not so very big like Mister Clifford. 

So Zita is going to a store to borrow a big car.

Because she might have to bring people back here. Maybe Mister Kirian. Or other people too. 

But my friend Emmet is not coming back to our house. 

Because he is going back to far away Ireland. Oh dear. 

So Miss Doctor Alice will not be lonely. My goodness. That is a good idea 

And just not so far from that wedding place is where that aeroplane that can find Ireland lives. 

So now his big bedroom will be all empty again. 

And then Niamh will put all her too many clothes in there. Oh well. 

Zita and Emmet were very busy this afternoon.

Because they had to find all their beautiful for the wedding clothes and put them in do not get messy bags. 

And Emmet had to get all his take back to Ireland things all put inside his big for the aeroplane bag. 

Craig and I stayed in the living room. I saw my friend the bunny rabbit. 

I think it lives in our fat bushes, beside the other steps. 

Then Zita and I went for a walk in the lovely sunshine afternoon. 

It was a beautiful day to have a meandering. 

When you meander you cannot know where you are going. 

So you just go and see where your feet want to go. Ha. That is a good idea. 

Before dinnertime Zita went to the beautiful feet store. 

So she would be all perfect for that wedding. My goodness me. 

Then Craig had their bagels for dinnertime before Emmet went to see their friends, before going all the way back to Ireland. 

But Craig did not forget about my dinner. So when Zita got home I was full up. 

And Zita had bagels too. 

Then we had lots of time to watch our detective program. 

Day Six Hundred and Fifty Four

Miss Pancake 

Zita and I did not have a nice sleep last night.

I think that maybe we ate too much.

Because we had parties on two days together. 

But we went for a lovely walk anyway, after breakfasts, because it was not so hot today. Ha.

But we still had to go to our work, and Niamh too. 

Craig did not get up early like us. 

Because he had to listen to the stories all about the very long time ago Egyptian peoples. 

I was very busy minding both my friends Zita and Niamh. 

Emmet was downstairs fixing his story for that important book. My goodness. 

And tonight is another dragons game night for Emmet. 

And after everybody’s work time, Niamh and Tyler are getting in Jamie and Tarryn’s giant car.

And they are driving to where the wedding will be. My goodness.

That car is as big as Mister Clifford. 

At lunchtime everybody had some of Mister Tony’s very delicious pizza.

Because we had so much extra. My goodness.

So Zita put those pizzas in the stove until they were toasty hot. Then everybody had some.

Craig had his in the den, where he was listening to his music.

I waited very politely until he was finished, and there were some extra pieces for me. Ha.

But then it was time for me to be Zita’s helper. 

But I stopped for a little while, when Craig remembered it was time for my second lunch. 

But then I went back into our office, in case Zita needed my help. 

Because that is what best helpers do. And it is my favourite job. 

Then a car came and took Emmet to his dragons game. 

I did not know that car so I barked a bit too much. Oh well. 

We had a very nice quiet day today, because we did not have even one party.

Maybe we will go to bed early tonight. 

After dinner we watched our detective program, and after a little while we had ice cream treats. 

And when I got all awake it was our bedtime.

Day Six Hundred and Fifty Three

Miss Pancake 

My goodness me. 

Zita and I had a little sleep in this morning.

Because we did not go to our comfy beds until very late last night. 

Because of our giant party.

Yesterday, after we got everything all ready for our party, we had a relax and waited for all our guests.

I just had my relaxing underneath the dining room table so I could guard the treats.

And then everybody came to the party for my friend Emmet. 

Even my friend Mister Devon too. 

Soon my own house was all full up. 

And they stayed until way way past my bedtime. 

Because we had all the food in the whole world. 

So everybody just kept talking and eating tasty treats. 

And Mister Tony’s delicious pizzas too. 

So I had to stay very all wide awake so I could mind all my guests. My goodness me.

And then Craig and Zita told everybody how very happy we were that Emmet is now our Dr. Emmet. 

And then Emmet told everybody how much everybody helped him so he could be Dr. Emmet.

Especially his best friend Miss Poppy, who always listened to his important stories, and never asked him to change anything. Ha. 

That was because they were old friends.

And then everybody drank lots of champagne, except for Craig. Miss Tarryn brought him his own favourite ginger ale. 

And then everybody had cake and lots of strawberries with fluffy cream. 

Craig gave me a whole strawberry covered in that delicious fluffy cream. When nobody was looking. Ha. 

 And then I had my own late night extra dinner.

That is why we had a little sleep in.

But Mister Tyler could not have a sleep in, because he had to ride his fast bicycle to his office very early this morning.

And Niamh was very very busy at her work too. 

So after our good morning to our neighbourhood walking I minded Niamh, and Zita went with Mister Clifford to do some important errands.

Craig did not have such a big sleep in today either. 

But when he got up he had a chocolate croissant. 

I got the pointy end without any chocolate. Ha. 

After lunchtime Zita took Niamh to the very beautiful fingertips store.  

Because Tara’s and Taylor’s wedding is going to happen very soon. 

So Niamh is going to be as beautiful as can be for the whole wedding. My goodness.

And that wedding is going to be on our computer so Craig and I can watch it too.

This afternoon everybody was very busy doing more important errands for that wedding.

So I stayed right here and took care of my friend Craig. And had a behind him relax. 

When Zita got home it was just the right time for our walking around, but when we got outside Zita found my special brush.

The one for making all the tangles go away.

She said I had to be beautiful for Tara’s wedding, even if I was not there. 

Because all the ladies in my family always are as beautiful as they can be. My goodness me. I did not know that. 

And when I looked around all my very extra fur was all on our patio. My goodness.

Then my friend Niamh came back and she said that I was as beautiful as a butterfly. 

And then just like something magic, Tarryn and Sach were here too. My goodness.

So we had another party. 

With hamburgers and hotdogs too. 

Just not so many people tonight. 

But Emmet was just a little bit awake. 

Because he had been having a very long relax on his comfy bed. 

And then it was dinner time. Too bad for him.

Then Zita and Niamh and Tarryn and Sach went downstairs.

So Zita would have a beautiful tan for the wedding.

Craig and I stayed upstairs until our bedtimes.

   

Day Six Hundred and Fifty Two

Miss Pancake 

Craig said that I have to tell you about last night. 

I did not want to, because I got in to a bit of a lot of trouble. 

When Zita came home from the too much of everything store she had tasty treats for our party tonight. 

Even lots of cheese. 

And some of those cheeses were in a bag on the kitchen floor. Right beside my own nose. 

And I could smell that lovely cheese. Especially that white and blue delicious one.

And just like that, the whole cheese was in my mouth, and I was in my side yard when Zita came back in and saw me. Oh dear.

And she did not even care that it was cheese from France and I am from France too. Oh my goodness me.

Then I was in trouble. And she told my whole family told that I ate that lovely cheese.

And that was not true. I only ate the pointy bit. 

But maybe the were teeth holes all over that cheese. Oh well. 

So we will not have as many different cheeses for our party guests. 

That is why Craig said I had to tell all my friends who read my very lovely story. Oh well. 

And this morning when it was breakfast time Zita said maybe I was too full up with delicious cheese to want breakfast. 

That was not a so nice thing to say. 

But Zita found my breakfast any way. That was good. 

  

Then we went for our good morning walk. And it was a very beautiful day outside. So we has a very nice walk all over; 

Then we all went to work. 

Except for Craig. 

Before lunchtime my friend Mister Gary came for a visit, and nobody told him about the cheese. That was good. 

Zita and I did not go to work this afternoon.

Because we were too busy getting everything all ready for Emmet’s big party. 

Zita and the fast car went shopping for the party and I stayed here.

Because Niamh was at her outside office so I had to mind her. 

And when her work was all over we put up a giant sign, just for my friend Emmet. 

And Niamh and Sach and I filled the refrigerator up to the top with treats.

And even a big cold box full of wines and beers. My goodness. 

We were very busy being getting ready for everybody.

And I was the table guard.

That is my best job. 

And Mister Tony is going to make us lots and lots of his very most delicious pizzas. 

And that is what we are going to have for our party dinner. Ha. 

But I cannot tell Craig so much of my story tonight because, I will be way too busy being the very best hostess. 

So I well tell everybody all about the party tomorrow. Cross my heart. 

Day Six Hundred and Fifty One

My goodness what a very busy morning I had.

We went for our after breakfast walk and looked at all the beautiful flowers in everybody’s garden.

But we only looked for a little while,  because today is the back to work day for all of us. 

But not Craig. 

Then a man came to make the warm the house machine all lovely.

That is a very good machine, because when your feet are all a bit frozen you can stand on those holes, and just like that you have toasty feet. 

But I did not know that the man was coming here and I was a very fierce guarder dog. Oh well.

When Craig got up his T-shirt was on the right way.

And I did not even have to help him.

Because I was too busy guarding my house.

Emmet had chocolate buns from France for his breakfast, and Irish tea. 

When I was having my own lunch, Tara came to visit us and to say thank you to Niamh for being the very very best helper.

Then she went downstairs to say hello to Emmet too.

Then I helped Craig make his peanut butter sandwich.

But then I had to go into my side yard to be Niamh’s help.

Because she was working on her outside desk, underneath our keep you cool umbrella. 

Zita brought lots of boxes up from the basement for Craig to look at.

Because they were full up with old pictures.

Pictures that Craig and Zita made by themselves. 

With one of Craig’s lots of old cameras. 

Not their telephones. My goodness.

And there were some pictures that did not even have any colours at all. My goodness. 

So Craig has been looking at them yesterday and today too. 

And so many were all just the same he put them in garbage bags. 

And I saw pictures of Craig and Zita even before Emmet and Niamh or me and Poppy. My goodness me.

When our work was all over Zita and I went for a nice slow walk.

Then Mister Clifford drove Emmet to play his dragons game with his friends, from his very first university. 

They have been playing that game nearly for ever. My goodness.

Then Zita went to that too much of everything store. So we can have way too much for our big party. 

Maybe even that sticky cheese from France. Ha. That would be a very tasty idea. 

And the fast car took Niamh to do some very important wedding errands for Tara.

So it was only Craig and Zita and me for our dinner tonight.

So now we can watch our detective program and have a big relax. 

Day Six Hundred and Fifty

Miss Pancake 

It was an all the time rainy morning today. With bouncy rain. 

And when we got home from our morning walk I was as soggy as could be.

So I had to get in the bathtub and get clean. 

And when I was a bit all dry I went into the bedroom to help my friend Craig get all dressed.

But when he went in the kitchen to make his coffee his T-shirt was on backwards. 

Oh dear. And it is my job to make sure his T-shirt is on the right way.

So people will not think he is too old to get dressed the right way. 

But this morning it was on backwards. 

Because Craig was telling me all about that lovely birthday party, and I forgot about the T-shirt. Oh my goodness.

But he did not mind, and made his coffee anyway. That was good.

And if you put your T-shirt on the wrong way there, is no pocket for tasty treats. My goodness. 

Then Craig helped me look out the window at the whole world.

And Mister Clifford took Zita up to the busy street. 

Because of the all the time rain.

And when she got home she had lots of very tasty treats, even croissants and raspberries buns. My goodness. 

Emmet had the chocolate croissants. Ha.

Craig and I had the raspberries buns.  

Niamh was still at the ladies before a wedding party, in the cottage. 

She was there yesterday too. 

But she came home this afternoon. 

She had a clean all over shower before she went to visit Mister Tyler.

When she was gone I had a very long relax. 

So did Craig, because he was writing a new All About the Badgers story. My goodness me. 

But my friend Emmet was very busy in the very comfy bedroom, writing an even different interesting story. 

Emmet is always very busy. 

So sometimes I have to chase him all around my house. Ha. 

You cannot write stories when I am chasing you. My goodness me no. 

After Craig and I had our peanut butter and honey sandwich Zita went downtown to buy lots of things to make delicious food.

Because we are going to have a party. In our house. 

To be very happy together with my friend Emmet, because now he is a university doctor. 

Miss Alice is a hospital doctor. They are different. I do not know why they have the same names. Oh well. 

So lots of people will be here, and we are going to have delicious food and even cheeses. 

Cheeses are my favourite, and croissants too. 

Because I am from France. Ha. 

Craig and I had a nice sandwich for lunch. I like peanut butter sandwiches too. 

Zita and I went for a before dinner walk, but it was just around here. Because of the all of a sudden rain. 

We had steaks for our dinner tonight. Ha. 

I got a big bite of some. 

Then everybody talk all about Emmet’s teaching at the university. That was very interesting.

But I fell asleep.

Then we watched our detective program until I woke up and then it was time for comfy beds. 

Day Six Hundred and Forty Nine

Miss Pancake 

My goodness what a busy day.

Yesterday Zita and I went to our farm. 

And we had a long very nice walk around. 

We only went where there were not any nasty bite you bugs. Ha.

Today we went for a very long all around here walk. 

And when we got home Craig and Emmet were all awake too.

But Emmet was all dressed. 

So I helped my friend Craig find his another T-shirt.

Then he had to make himself all neat and tidy.

Because he and Zita went to their very lovely friend Michelline’s birthday party.

And Mister Clifford took them to that a little far away party.

And they talked to Doctor George. 

He was Emmet’s fix you all up doctor, when Emmet got sick at Mister Saint Xavier’s university.

And George told them he makes his very own sausages and even very very delicious bacons.

Doctor George and Doctor Tanya have a very nice dog, Mister Milo. 

He is an all the time swimming dog. 

Just like his best friend Miss Madeleine. 

She is an all the time swimming person. My goodness me.

I think that Mister Milo helps making those sausages.

My goodness, that is a very good job for a dog. 

But he did not bring any of those very delicious sausages to the birthday party. Oh well. 

And there were so many Happy Birthday cakes. My goodness me.

And even more food. 

And even lots of cheeses. 

But I did not have any delicious cheeses, because I stayed here to keep my friend Emmet company.  

Emmet was writing a new very interesting story. For an important meeting in Australia.

But he is not going there. 

Because of all the very dangerous kill you snakes. That was a good idea. 

He will be on everybody’s computer instead. 

When Craig and Zita got home it was dinner time. 

And we had Emmet’s very favourite dinner, nice fat tortellinis. 

And Zita’s very delicious own made red sauce. Ha. 

Maybe they do not have very fat tortellinis in far away Ireland. Oh well.

We have lots and lots. 

Then everybody sat at the dining room table and talked and had brand new very delicious strawberries.

And chocolate biscuits too, until it was everybody’s bedtime.

Then we went to sleep. 

Day Six Hundred and Forty Eight

Miss Pancake

We were very very busy today.  

When Zita and I got awake it was still a bit hot but it was not a bit sunny.

So the sidewalks were not too hot for my feet. 

And when we got home Mister Tyler and his very fast bicycle were going to his office and Niamh was awake too.

And then Emmet was upstairs too. My goodness. My house was all full up. 

But Niamh had to go to the aeroport to find a lady and then they went to the Mahoney’s cottage.

Because lots of people are going there for a before that wedding party. My goodness me.

Then Mister Clifford took Zita and Emmet downtown.

Because they went to see a man who makes very beautiful clothes for men. 

Because Emmet is going to get a very beautiful just made for him jacket. 

Because now he is doctor Emmet he has to have some beautiful clothes. Not like Craig who only has t shirts. My goodness.

But it takes a little while to make that kind of jacket. So he will not have it today. Oh well.

When everybody was gone Craig had his first coffee, so he had his first croissant.

And when he had his next another coffee he had his next croissant too. Ha. I was a big help.

Because croissants have lots of tasty crumbs. 

Then we were so busy Craig and I had too much to do so maybe tomorrow I will not be so busy. Oh dear.

Day Six Hundred and Forty Seven

Miss Pancake

We had a very nice, but slow saunter just around here. So we would not be a sticky and smelly when we got home. 

And after our breakfasts it was time for our own work.

When Craig was all dressed he made coffees for us. 

But he did not have toasts because toasts are a bit too hot on too hot days like today.

Our computer told us that my friend Emmet’s aeroplane found the aeroport in Toronto all by itself. So it not get lost at all. 

But now Emmet has to wait for another aeroplane. The kind that knows how to find us. 

So I think they will be here for our altogether dinner. 

Those are my very favourite kind of dinners. 

Because then I can mind my whole family at the same time. Ha. 

Craig found us a beautiful stone tower picture.

Maybe that lady could make it right on my own watching corner. That would be a very good idea. 

But maybe not so very big. 

Just big enough for me and Craig. Ha. 

With comfy sofas for our relax. And some windows so we can mind the whole neighbourhood. 

My friends Furrgus and Festis have their very own tower like that. 

It is not so very far away from the castle, but it is all falling down. 

They should get our nice lady to make it all perfect again. That is a good idea. 

I will tell them when they get home. 

I do not know when they will be home, because they are doing secret jobs for the new king.

Except for Dugal, he is still on his vacation in far away Italy, with Miss The Countessa. 

They are testing restaurants all over. 

They are looking for the very best Crème brûlée ever.

Because that dessert is Colonel Dugal’s very favourite thing to eat. 

And Colonel Dugal is her favourite too. Ha. 

Sometimes he has it even before his porridge in the morning. My goodness me.

But one morning, I will go into the living room to look out my windows and they will all be there. Fast fast asleep. My goodness. 

Today is our very long day. The sun is still there until nearly my bedtime. 

Maybe that is why Emmet came home today. Maybe. 

Zita and the fast car found Emmet right away and just like that Emmet was back in my house. 

I was very excited. I did not forget him even a little bit. 

Because we had tasty croissants together at Merry Christmas time. Ha. 

Then we had a dinner party. And we did not even know we were going to have a dinner party. My goodness.

But when Niamh got home Sach was with her and then Tarryn was here.

So everybody had Mister Kettleman’s bagels and even brand new strawberries.

Then Niamh and Tarryn and Sach went to the throw and catch game and Emmet went downstairs to have a squeaky clean bath.

In the very big bathtub. Ha. 

And then it was time to watch our detectives before our bedtime. 

Day Six Hundred and Forty Six

Miss Pancake

We had another nice saunter this morning, but only where the lovely trees kept the sidewalks cool for my feet.

When we got home it was already nearly too hot outside. My goodness.

Miss Dina slept here last night.

Because her apartment is way too hot. Oh dear.

So she and Niamh were very busy with their work. And I was very busy minding them. 

Zita and Niamh talked to Nana and Grandad in far away Dublin this morning. 

It is not even a bit too hot there. That is good.

Then Zita had to go out to do rascal ladies work, even on our not working on Wednesday. 

I could not help Craig get dressed this morning because I was way too busy minding Niamh and Dina. 

Because they were in different rooms. My goodness me.

But when Zita got home she had a bagel and she made Craig s toast. With jam. 

So I helped him with that. 

Then it was clean the whole house day for us. My goodness. 

Tomorrow my friend Emmet will be here. 

So we made sure his bedroom was neat and tidy. With new very clean sheets too. Ha.

Today my friend Tara got her another important piece of paper from her university in Toronto.

And she sent me a picture, and she waved at me. Ha. 

We sent her a lovely present too. I helped pick it. 

There were two different ones but I liked the black one. 

Because I am black and Tara likes me a lot. Ha. 

After my lunchtime everyone was very busy so I had my afternoon relax.

In the living room, with Craig. He had a relax too. 

The nice lady finished fixing our beautiful stone wall. 

So now it is so beautiful it will not just fall down.

But she did not have time to make a big tower for Craig and I. Oh well. 

But Craig said that he thinks it is alright if we call our pond a moat. Ha. 

That is a good idea. 

Mister Bruce is very very happy in his brand new big pot. All his leaves are straight up. 

Zita said that very soon he will be as big as me. Ha. That is silly.

There was only Craig and Zita and me for dinner, because Niamh went out for dinner with Mister Tyler.

So we had very tasty sausages for our dinner.

Then Zita put lots of brand new dirt where the beautiful stone was is.  My goodness.

Then it was detective program time for us. 

Day Six Hundred and Forty Five

Miss Pancake 

We went on our good morning to everything walk early this morning.

Before the way too hot.

So it was not so very hot when we went outside and we went up past the very big church.

But we only went where the beautiful trees made comfy shade. Good for us.

When we got home our house was not even a bit too hot.

Because last night we put the cooler house machine on. Ha.

Then we all went to our important work. 

I had a nice relax on the den sofa. That is a very comfy sofa.

When Craig had his first coffee I went in the living room to keep him company.

But then Miss Dina came here to work with Niamh, but as soon as she opened the door she started to cry.

Because Mister Jonah’s  dog went to heaven this morning. 

Then everybody here was very sad.

So I jumped right up on them and gave them all kisses until they stopped crying. 

But everyone was still very sad. 

I do not like it when my family is sad.

Because it is my special job to keep my family as happy as can be. My goodness.

I used to see that dog all the time. It went to our park to look at the ducks too. Oh dear.

Then Niamh and Miss Dina went downstairs to work.

And Craig made a toast with lots of jam for us and another one for Zita too. 

Toasts are good for you if you are sad. It is known. 

Then Kathy came here and she still has her broken arm. My goodness me.

And she took the very beautiful bag full of special presents for Miss Tara. 

Because she and Richard are going there today. To see Tara.

Because this week she is getting the important paper from her university.

And next week she is going to get married to Mister Taylor. My goodness.

So we sent lots of presents. Ha. 

But I cannot show everybody, because Tara sometimes reads my stories.

And then she would see the secret presents. 

Everybody is going to that wedding except for Craig. And me.

Because I have to mind Craig. 

Zita said I could not go outside this afternoon.

Because I would just be a fury black puddle. Oh my goodness me. I would not like that. 

Mister Paul came over because his bicycle was all empty, so he had to borrow our lots of air machine. 

So he stayed inside and had a beer. Because of the too hot outside. 

Then the fast car too Zita and Niamh to a special dentist to look at her smart teeth. 

The fast car has its very own cool everything machine, so they did not melt. 

Miss Dina stayed in the very cool basement to do her work.

Because her little apartment does not have any cool everything machines. 

I stayed here with Craig and helped him make a very delicious peanut butter and jams sandwich. 

Then when it was after dinnertime, Zita and I drove Niamh and Dina downtown to find Mister Tyler.

And then we went back home to watch a new detective program. 

Craig was still there. He waited for us. 

Day Six Hundred and Forty Four

Miss Pancake 

We went for our good morning walk as soon as we finished our breakfasts.

Because Miss Alexa told us that it was going to be a too hot for a nice walking day.

So we went before the too hot was all awake. 

Then it was time for everybody to go to work. 

Because it was go to work Monday.

Craig did not even remember it was Monday. Because he is all retired.

And I had to help him put on his pants this morning. 

And I gave him so many kisses he did not even have to wash this morning. Ha. Good for me.

Zita told me that our new very lovely plant has it very own name. 

And it is Miss Jay. 

That is I good name.

Because I can remember it.  

I could not remember that other very long name. My goodness me. 

After Craig was all dressed he had his “wake up espresso” and looked out the windows.

I could not help because I was too busy being Zita’s very best assistant.

But then the present man came to our house. 

And he brought Niamh’s another of that especially beautiful dress, for Miss Tara’s wedding.

The beautiful dress from far away London. My goodness. 

And this time it fit perfectly.

So when I came in she showed it to me right away.

And I thought it was beautiful too. Ha.

And after I had my first lunchtime I had a nice, looking out my window relax. 

Then I went back to help Zita with our rascal ladies work. Too bad for us. 

When our work was all over we went outside.

But we did not go for a walk, because it was too hot even for walks.

So we went for a very nice saunter, but only on our street. Then we came back home into our cool house. 

And Zita and I had a relax. 

We had a lovely dinner with lots of cheese, so Miss Sach had dinner with us too. 

And after dinner Zita went to a not too loud music concert. 

And she went in Sach’s jeep. And today that jeep does not have any doors. Oh dear. 

And Niamh went with her. 

Zita is going to find Kathy and Richard at the concert.

So I minded Craig and the house. 

Because Niamh and Sach went on an adventure ride, to do some errands in that noisy, no doors jeep. My goodness.

And when Niamh got home it was a bit dark, so she sat in the side yard, and I sat right there to mind her. 

And when Zita got back it was our best bed time. 

Day Six Hundred and Forty Three

Miss Pancake 

When I was all awake it was a very nice day. 

It was not so very sunny so it was just right for a long walk to see everybody in my neighbourhood. 

When it is not so hot my feet do not get even a little bit sore. 

Today is the special day for fathers all over. My goodness. 

I did not ever see my father, because he lived on a great big ranch, far away. 

He and his brothers minded all the cows who lived at that ranch. 

Because of the bears and this pretend lions. My goodness.

So now Craig is my father. 

Because I see him every day. And we always have our toasts together. 

And he is not even a bit scared of the very loud thunder. So I am not either. 

That is how you know your father, when they make you brave when you do not know it. 

So Zita and I got him his very favourite peanut butter candy. Ha. 

He was very excited, and he had some with his first coffee. Ha.

Then Zita had to go on a secret errand for Niamh. I did not know what it was.

Because it was a secret. 

But when Niamh and Tyler came here I found out what the secret was. Ha.

And it was a box full of Miss Suzy’s doughnuts. And they were for our lunch. 

And we even had two cheeses too, and crunchy crackers too. My goodness me. 

And Niamh got Craig a brand new beautiful plant. And it has a name. It was right in its lovely pot.

It is Miss Portulacaria. My goodness.

I do not like that name so much. I like nice names like Mister Bruce. 

No one will remember that name. Too bad for it. 

And Niamh made a very beautiful poem for just Craig. 

Because he is her very own father. 

But then Niamh and Tyler had to go to his aunt’s house so the fast car took them there. 

And they were not late. Because it had it fast for summer tires on. Ha. 

We only had a little dinner because of the doughnuts.

Then we watched the very good detective program and Craig and Zita had another doughnut.

And I had a very nice relax right beside Zita until our bedtime. 

And we have very comfy beds. It is known.
