Da y Seven Hundred and Forty Eight

Miss Pancake 

We went to the farm this morning. And for a long time too.

Because today is a holiday.

But it is a remember things day too. 

Because some nasty people used to take little children away from their own families. 

And they had to go to far away schools where they could not be who they were. 

They could not even talk like they should. 

And the teachers were nasty too.

And some of the little children went to heaven. And nobody told their families. Not even ever. 

That is not all right. My goodness no.

So now we have a special day to remember not to do things like that anymore. That is a good idea. 

And to remember all those little children too. 

When we got home Zita had to do housework on her computer, so I minded her right on my comfy sofa. 

Craig had a sleep in, so he could listen to his interesting book.

Then it was my lunch time. 

And Zita went out for a long walk around here. In the very beautiful sunshine. 

Because there was not even any clouds up in the sky. Not even little ones.

So Craig and looked out our windows, so we could see everything. 

And we saw my friends the ducks in our pond. Ha.

And when Zita got home Craig got his hair squeaky clean. 

But now he is too furry and has to go to a neat and tidy shop. 

Then he got his own feet squeaky clean too.

Then it was time for everybody’s diner. Mine too. 

And Craig had to find a new detective program, because last night’s was not so very good. Oh well.

I kept Craig and Zita company in the den until I was fast asleep. 

Day Seven Hundred and Forty Seven

Miss Pancake 

We had even another very beautiful day. 

And it was just like it was summertime again. My goodness me.

Zita talked to her parents on the telephone. 

She said everything is still very all right in far away Dublin. That is good.

I stayed on my comfy chair to mind her.

When she was finished talking, we went to our farm so we could visit all the beautiful sunshine.

The fast car was very happy too. 

When we got home Craig was all dressed. 

And I did not even help him. 

Because I was busy practicing my very fast running at our farm.

When Craig had his very first too many coffees Zita went outside.

So she could talk to Auntie Eileen and sit on our lovely swing at the same time. 

And after a while Mister Tom came with brand new detective programs.

And he had a very nice visit with Zita. I only barked to say hello.

Because I know Mister Tom. Ha.

Then Zita talked to Auntie Eileen some more.

Craig and I had a very special delicious lunch.

We had Zita’s sandwich from her restaurant dinner. It was in a box in the refrigerator.

Because she could not eat it all. And it was a chicken sandwich. 

Chicken is my favourite. 

And I had some. That was a tasty treat.

Then Professor Jill came for a visit and she brought me a box of just for me treats. Ha.

And then Zita and Jill had their coffees in the living room, and I minded them. That is a very good job for me.

They talked for a very long time, so I had a very long sleep. 

There were lots of people outside today.

Because it was a beautiful day and tomorrow is a holiday for everybody. Even dogs. Ha. 

My very far away friends Miss Maisie and Miss Millie sent me a nice letter, from way far away.

They live way up north, nearly the same up north as Niamh’s. My goodness.

They said I had beautiful flappy ears when I am practicing my fast running. Ha. That is true.

Craig and I had toasts when he was watching the football game. 

Zita had a talk to everybody relax day. That was a good idea. 

After dinner Craig found a brand new detective program. 

And it had spies too. My goodness me.

Spies are very exciting. 

Maybe I will just have a nice nap instead. 

Day Seven Hundred and Forty Six

Miss Pancake 

It was a beautiful day today. And it was like that all day. 

But we did not go the farm this morning.

Because we decided to make a just for a relax morning. So we did. 

After our breakfasts Zita had her big cup of teas and I got up on my comfy chair and went to fast asleep.

And I did not even wake up until Craig was all dressed and talking to his old friends on the computer. My goodness.

So when he was busy Zita and I went for a long walk and we stopped all the time to talk to people. Ha.

And when we got home it was my lunchtime. 

Then Zita went to look for a beautiful dress. 

I stayed here to mind Craig and we had two sandwiches today. Both of them had too much jams, 

When Zita got home she asked me if I wanted to go on an adventure drive with Mister Clifford. 

My goodness those are my very favourite adventures. So we had a nice ride and then we went to our farm.

And Zita and I had a very nice run all around. Craig stayed with Mister Clifford and read his book.

Then we saw some people getting married right on our beautiful farm. And they had a special beautiful barn for weddings. 

And then we saw all those just run around sheep. 

But my friends the cows were still having their inside dinner. Oh well.

Then we went on another adventure. 

And we went on the road where Craig used to go to his work. 

And it is now as different as can be. My goodness. 

He was very very surprised. There giant buildings all over everywhere. 

He thought he was somewhere else.

But he was not. 

He was still in Mister Clifford with Zita and me. My goodness.  

Then we went home and Zita got one of the very delicious rollups from the nice men on the busy street.

She only had to get one, because she and Susan went out to the Badger’s very favourite restaurant for their dinner. 

The one that does not mind when play their bagpipes. 

They made real chips at that restaurant. Dugal told me. Ha. 

Today is my friend Sach’s singing happy birthday to you day. My goodness. 

After Zita was gone Craig watched the football game. But it was not his team, so we did not care. Ha.

But after a while we had very tasty cheese and crunchy crackers.

And when Zita got home I was very tired so we went to bed. Altogether. 

Day Seven Hundred and Forty Five

Miss Pancake 

It was not raining today. 

So after breakfast we went to our farm. Our fast car took us there.

We had a very good time.

But when we got home it was time for us to go to work. So we did.

When Craig got up he had toast with jams on top. Zita and I were on our break, so I could help him. 

And after my first lunch Craig had a very big peanut butter sandwich with even more jams on top. Ha.

Then Mister Paul came over for his coffee and to take a lovely chair back to his house. 

It was way to big to carry so he borrowed the fast car took to take it there. 

Last night, when I was having my relax in the den Niamh sent us lots of very beautiful pictures of way up north.

Even pictures of Mister Thumper being her helper. 

He had to be her helper because I was not there to mind her. 

Because of all the aeroplanes. Oh well. 

Some of the bathrooms there did not even have a bathtub. 

I do not think those are such good bathrooms. 

When Mister Paul came back he had a coffee visit, and he looked at the light in the bedroom, so we can just talk to it. And it will work. My goodness.

Then Zita and I went to the aeroport.

Because that aeroplane did not get lost at all and it brought my friend Niamh back home.

My goodness I was very excited.  

And she did not smell so much like a bear, but she had a squeaky clean shower anyway. Ha.

And when she was downstairs Zita and I went for a lovely before dinnertime walk. That was a very good idea. 

This afternoon Craig talked to Doctor Alice on his computer, and those hospitals are still not giving their doctors their very own money.

My goodness gracious me. That is not very nice. 

So Emmet and Doctor Alice are going to a not a pizza restaurant to have a lovely relax. 

And not think about anything. Except what very delicious food they will have. Ha. 

Maybe they will have cooked ham. Hams are my favourite. 

We have hams at Merry Christmas time. That is the best idea. 

And we always have all our just used food when all the Mahoneys come here for our Second Merry Christmas Day. Ha

When Niamh came up stairs, all clean as could be we had cheesie toasties for dinner.

Then Zita took Niamh to Mister Tyler’s apartment and then when she got home we watched another new detective program. 

And I had my next nap. 

 

Day Seven Hundred and Forty Four

Miss Pancake 

My goodness me. 

When Zita and I were having our breakfasts she showed me a picture.

And it was a picture that my friend Niamh sent us.

And it was a giant fierce bear. 

And she was nearly beside it. But it did not catch her. 

And Craig told me that it was a grizzly bear. 

Not a nice black bear who eats lots of tasty blue berries.

Grizzly bears would eat anything, even peoples, or slow dogs. My goodness me. That is not so nice. 

We do not have any of those very fierce bears here. 

I hope that Mister Thumper was with her. My goodness me. 

She visited Mister Thumper at his house. 

And at night time there were very beautiful lights all over the sky. My goodness me.

That is because she is way way up in the north.

Today she was in the office of the people she talks to all the time.

My goodness she is very busy.

She will be very tired when she gets back home. It is known.

And when we went to our farm I was an especially fierce minder dog.

In case some of those fierce bears were hiding in our lots and lots of corn.

My goodness me. 

So it was a very exciting visit to our farm today. 

After the fast car took Zita to the nearly all empty office downtown Craig and I had muffins for his breakfast. 

Then it was just a Craig and Pancake morning.

So I had a very nice nap until it was my lunch time. 

And I was so fast asleep that Craig had to remind me it was time for my lunch. My goodness. 

And just when I was all finished Zita came home.

So we went into our office so we could finish our important work. 

After a while Craig made a peanut butter and jam’s sandwich. 

So I had a little break so I could help him. Then I went back to work. 

And I stayed with Zita until we were all finished our work. 

Craig had to take care of just himself. 

When we were at work, Niamh sent us more beautiful pictures. 

Mister Thumper and his friends took Niamh to see all the interesting things up there. 

And she saw some very big rivers and even very little houses.

Way way up north is not so much like here. 

They even have mountain all around. 

After we were all finished our work both Zita and I had a nice relax. 

Because we had a long day.  

After we had our dinner we watched the very good detective program that our friend Tom gave to us. 

When we watched it I had a very nice relax. Right in front of the den. 

And when I woke up it was my very own bedtime. 

Day Seven Hundred and Forty Three

Miss Pancake 

When we were all very awake this morning, it was just a rainy morning outside.

And Zita had to go and visit Mister Roger at his make you beautiful shop.

So we did not go to the farm. 

Craig got up early too so he could help me at my watching window. 

So we had a very early breakfast. With a very delicious apple rollup.

My friend Niamh is still way way up north with all the nice people she works with.

And their office even has a very nice dog, Mister Thumper. 

Just like our office. Except it is not me up there. It is Mister Thumper. 

And Niamh sent me even more interesting pictures. 

And they were cooking food right outside. 

My goodness me.

When Zita got home she had to go to my little hospital to get my tasty food.

Because I get the special no sick tummies for nice dogs food.

And she asked me to go with her, to be her very best minder dog. Ha. That was a very good idea.

But Craig had to mind the house by himself. 

And before we went to my hospital we went to our farm, for our exercises. Ha. 

That was a surprise for me. 

And we got a giant bag of my food. So I will not starve. Good for us. 

Yesterday we got some just for wine glasses from a lady’s garage. And they are from Ireland. 

And they were nearly for free. My goodness me. 

And they are just like our other glasses from Ireland. 

After we got home Zita and Mister Clifford took an extra desk to our friend Miss Cara. 

So now she can stand up and work at the same time. Just like us.  

Mister Paul came to our house for dinner and, to fix the clean dishes machine for Zita. 

I was a big help. Everybody said so.

So we had a together dinner. With delicious hamburgers too. 

Then when Paul went home we watched a new detective program. 

It had a nice big dog in it. That was good. 

Then it was bed time. 

Last night I kept my friend Zita all comfortable and toasty when she just woke up in the middle of the night. 

So I got up on the big bed, right between Craig and Zita and we all went back to sleep. 

Until we were all awake again. Good for me.

Day Seven Hundred and Forty Two

Miss Pancake

My goodness, we got up early today. Even Craig.

When Zita and I got back from our good morning visit to the farmers Craig was all awake.

So I helped him get his pants on. 

He only has one kind of pants, and they are all the same. I do not know why. 

We had a very good time at the farm. The farmers were very busy. 

So we did not bother them.

But I think they watched me when I was doing my fastest running. 

Then the fast car took us back home.

Because Zita had to go downtown to make all those rascal computers empty.

So I minded Craig. 

So it was a Craig and Pancake day.

Because Niamh is way way up north and Emmet is in far far away Cork.

So there was only Craig and I to mind the house. I only me to mind Craig.

So we had lots of little muffins, when Craig had his lots of coffees. Ha.

It was not a very full of sunshine day today, but it was not a bit cold so I had my morning naps outside today. 

And after my lunch I helped Craig with a way too big apple rollup. 

Then it was just the right time for my afternoon naps outside today.

And because it was not too cold and it was not too hot either, Craig left my side door open all day.

So I had a very good time today.

Yesterday the presents man brought us a present.

And it was a map. 

A nice map of way far away Ireland.

And we are going to take that other map off the wall, and put up the new map.

Because Niamh and Tyler are going to Ireland. To visit everybody.

But Tyler has never been to there. Not even one time. 

So now we have a map, he will know where he is when he gets lost. 

Because everybody gets all lost in Ireland. 

Even Craig, and he was not even driving that car, just the go fast chair. My goodness me. 

Zita did not get home until I was finished my dinner. 

And Tarryn was with her because they had more moving work to do.

So they got into Mister Clifford so they could put Tarryn’s new desk inside. My goodness me.

And when they got home everybody was very hungry, except me. 

Because I already had my dinner. 

Zita brought home some of Mister McDonald’s hamburgers and some pretend chips. 

Because it was too late for cooking dinner. 

But I got a big chip for my dessert. Ha.

Then we watched the last of our detective program. 

So we could go to our very comfy beds.

Day Seven Hundred and Forty One

Miss Pancake 

After we had our breakfasts we did not go to the farm this morning.

Because it was a bit too rainy.

So we went to our office because it was the back to work Monday.

Last night my friend Niamh sent us pictures. Right from that aeroplane.

And there was only big rivers and rocks and trees, but there were not any fast roads anywhere. My goodness. 

Or even houses. 

When Craig got up and had his coffees he had a little muffin too.

But I could not help him, because I was too busy helping Zita. Too bad for me.

When we were finished it was not raining at all, so we went to our farm. That was a very good idea. 

And when we got back I only had a little bit of time for my lunch before I had to go back to our important work. My goodness me. 

Craig showed me the magic map, and I saw that Niamh was with all her way way up north friends.

They are the people who were here before all the other people were here. 

Maybe there are dogs who were here before all the other dogs. 

Maybe like Poppy’s friends Jamie and Zorro. 

Maybe 

All the Bouvier dogs, like me, came here from far away France, a long time ago.

But we did not come here such a long long long time ago. My goodness me no. 

Zita had a tasty apple rollup for her afternoon snack, but it was too big, so Craig helped her.

And then I helped Craig. Ha. That was a good snack time. 

When our work was all done it was a nice time to go to the farm. So we did.

And I practiced my very fast running. 

Then when we were slow walking we saw my corns, and they were still growing very tall.

Then it was time to go home for our dinner. 

Pretty soon the farmers will take all our corns and put them in the giant barns for my friends the cows. 

Maybe they will have popped corns.

Lots of times we have popped corns when we watch our detective program. 

We watched our ghosts detective program tonight. 

Day Seven Hundred and Forty

Miss Pancake 

Oh dear me. 

We had a very very busy night, and now I am as tired as can be.

We went to find Niamh at the lovely restaurant, but her boss was late, so we waited for her for a long time, and I went to fast asleep in the fast car.

So it was way way past my bedtime time when we got home.

And Craig had a sick tummy.

Because he ate too many tasty sausages. Zita told me.

And after I went to fast asleep we got all awake again.

And it was still nighttime outside.

Because we drove my friend Niamh to our not so far away aeroport. 

So she could go to the another aeroport in Montreal.

Because today she is going to the very very far away up north. My goodness.

And this morning I was so tired I did not even want to go for a walk. I went for a nice nap instead.

After lunchtime Zita went to the way too much of everything store. 

I stayed here and minded Craig.

We had two little muffins. 

Then Mister Tom came to give us a new detective story. Goodness, that was very nice. 

When I was very awake, Craig and I looked at the special where is your aeroplane map. 

And Niamh was nearly right on top of my mother’s full of horses ranch. 

I think that she will wave at her for me. 

I have two mothers. One I was only with for a very little time when I was very very small. 

But then I came to my house and now Zita is my forever mother. Good for us. 

There was a beautiful boat in our pond this afternoon. 

And it did not have a motor to go all around. 

Just some lovely wind. 

It was a bit small. So I had to tell Craig it was there.

Because he is a bit old. Ha. 

Zita got home with lots of wonderful foods. Even a chicken. And it was even all cooked. 

Because that store has its own stove for cooking things.

And there were giant apple rollups for Craig and my breakfasts. My goodness.

Then because it was still very beautiful, Zita and I went to the farm for a little while.

And I found my favourite stick again. 

So then I could show Zita my fast running.

But we came home when we were both tired. 

Because we were up way too early this morning.

My friend Niamh sent me a picture of inside her another next aeroplane.

It is a little aeroplane that knows where way way far away Whitehorses are. My goodness.

And I saw that aeroplane on that special map. Ha.

After our dinner we watched a very good detective program. 

And the detective has his very own ghosts. Ha.

And I had another very nice nap right beside my friend Zita. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Nine

Miss Pancake 

My goodness what a busy morning I had. 

It was a very beautiful day, so we had a lovely long good morning to the whole world walk.

But we did not go to the farm.

Because we had to have a nice breakfast with Niamh and Tarryn. 

And it was the make the house spic and span day too.

And then we drove Niamh and Tarryn to the lovely shop. 

Because Niamh is going to help Tarryn today. 

When I got home I was a bit hot.

So Zita got me my ice cube, so I could chase it all over the kitchen. Ha. That is a good game. 

Then Craig got me my first lunch. 

And then Zita and Susan had to go and do some important errands. 

Craig and I listened to some old music and then we made a giant peanut butter sandwich.

And today we put Mister Balderson’s very very tasty cheese on top of the peanut butter. My goodness that was a good idea.

Today is our cousin Lucy’s another sing happy birthday day.  

My goodness she has had a very busy time. 

I think she will get some very tasty cake for her dinner. Maybe it will be all on fire. 

I do not know if there are on fire cakes in Ireland. Ha.

Niamh came home, because she had to get her beautiful clothes on.

Because she went to dinner with her boss at a very delicious restaurant. 

And that restaurant is not so far from our farm.

So when Zita got back she and I went to our farm so we could have an end of the day relax in the beautiful sunshine. Ha.

And when we got home Zita drove Niamh to the restaurant.

Because you cannot walk to a lovely restaurant in your very beautiful clothes. It is known. 

Craig and Zita had those all filled up pastas and tasty sausages too. Ha.

Then we watched a brand new detective program.  

And I got up right beside Zita for my after dinner nap. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Eight

Miss Pancake 

Zita and I got up early this morning.

But we did not go to our farm.

Because Zita had to meet a big truck downtown at the nearly gone office.

So Niamh and I went to the farm.

The fast car took us and I had very very very good time.

And I showed Niamh my very fastest running. 

And she ran with me. My good what a good time for us. 

She is a fast runner too.

Because she is not so old. Just like me. Ha. 

Then we had to come back home because Niamh had a meeting with Miss Tracy

She is my friend.

We went swimming together with Niamh in the long bridge river.

She lives way out and away, right where those giant mountains are. 

Maybe she knows my big smelly brothers. Ha. 

When Craig got up and had his very first coffee he had a very delicious scone too. 

With lots and lots of crumbs for me. 

Then I went back to help Niamh. 

At lunch time Zita got back home, but she had a right away meeting, and then another one too. My goodness.

So I was very busy helping her. 

I was so busy Craig had to come to our office and remind me that I nearly missed my own lunchtime. My goodness.

I got some of his very delicious cheese for my dessert. 

Then Zita had to go the the mail store for work. 

So I stayed in our house to mind Craig and Niamh. That is my very important best job. 

Sometimes I went outside and looked out through the holes in our gate. 

And sometimes I had a nice outside nap. 

Because it was another very beautiful day today.

At dinnertime my friend Niamh was still downstairs working, so Zita went to the not very far away store for the especially delicious pizzas.

And then Tarryn was here to help Niamh get all ready to up very far up north.

So they had their pizzas in the basement and we had ours upstairs. 

Then we watched a not so very good detective program. 

So Craig has to find a better one.

Because that is his best job. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Seven

Miss Pancake 

Everybody got up early today. I did not know why. 

Zita was very busy meeting with people so I minded her in the den.

After we went for our good morning all around here walk.

And I did not even know that Craig was all awake, until I heard the machine make his coffees.

And when he had his second next coffee he had a little bit of tasty scone. 

Scones are my favourite because they are very crumbly. 

Tyler is going to visit is friend in way far away. So far away there are mountains there. 

My very big noisy brothers live near those mountains. He should wave at them. Ha. 

And the do not crash so much bus took him to the aeroport in Toronto.

Because that is where his aeroplane lives. My goodness.

Niamh and the fast car took him to Mister IKEA’s because that is where you find those buses.  That is very silly

After our lots of meetings Zita and Mister Clifford had to go to the downtown for a little bit.

So it was only Craig and I here. So I had to be a very good minder. 

So I got right up onto my watching chair. 

And I watched everything very carefully. 

So he would not get into trouble. 

And when I was being the very best minder, Craig had his another coffee.

And this time we had a very big scone. So I had to help him eat it. Ha. 

When it was my lunch time Zita came home. 

So I ate up all my lunch as quick as could be and went into our office to be her best helper.

And went were in a meeting until nearly my dinner time. My goodness me.

So I had a bit of a nap when everybody was just talking.

And our friend Doctor Andrea is getting married.

So now she has a beautiful ring, I saw the picture. 

My goodness me. So many of those weddings. 

After our dinner Niamh came home. 

Because she had taken Tyler to the big bus. 

Craig and Zita and I went into the den. 

And I went to fast asleep. 

Maybe we watched our detective program. Oh well..

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Six

Miss Pancake 

My goodness. We had a very busy day.

We did not go to the farm today.

Because I had an appointment. Ha.

So Zita and the fast car took me to the nice lady who makes my toes all beautiful. Ha.

Then we went to Sue’s just for dogs store. But she was not there.

I think that today was her do not work on Wednesdays day. Just like us.

But we bought a brand new long fast running leash anyway. 

Because my old one just broke. 

When we got home Miss Bruna and Mister Lyndon were home too. 

Miss Bruna told Zita that they had a very happy vacation in far away Italy. 

And they saw all her cousins too.

Our cousin Lucy is going to her favourite university, so she can be a nurse. 

We were all very happy. Especially cousin Lucy.

It is a very old university and it is right in downtown Dublin. My goodness me.

When Zita talked to her this morning she was sitting on the grass in the middle of that university. 

My goodness me. That is a nice place to sit.

Soon Lucy will be a nurse, maybe she can help our Doctor Alice. Maybe. 

After I had my lunch Zita put our little boat into Mister Clifford and together they up to their favourite lake. 

So Zita could look at all the lovely trees. 

And she practiced her boat driving. Ha.

And she went swimming in that lake too. 

But it was on purpose. 

She did not just fall out of our boat. 

Then Craig and I had our together lunchtime.

And today we had delicious jams from France on our peanut butter sandwich. Ha. 

I did not see my friend Niamh nearly all day.

Because she is so busy getting all ready to go way way up north. My goodness me.

It is so far away that three aeroplanes have to take her there. I would not like that so much.

After our lunch I had a very lovely nap right on my own watching chair. 

Last night, after our dinner my friend Sach came to visit me. 

And had not seen her for a very long time. So I was very happy. 

Then Niamh came upstairs and they left so they could find Tarryn.

So they could go to Mister McDonald’s shop and get some food to take with themselves. 

So they could sit outside and watch the sunshine go away and the giant moon be up in the sky. My goodness that was a good idea. 

Niamh told me call about it when she got home. Before my bedtime.

Craig and Zita had a very delicious full of nuts salad for dinner, and lots of from right here cheese.

I got some of that cheese too.

Then we watched a brand new detective program.

But very soon it was our bedtime. Ha. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Five

Miss Pancake 

We went to our farm as soon as we had our breakfasts.

And today was a beautiful day again. Good for us.

And we had a very good time. 

The farmers are very very busy. 

And Zita and I were so busy practicing we did not make any beautiful pictures of them. Or me.

When we got home I helped Craig get his T-shirt on the very right way.

And when he had his coffee I minded Zita while she was working.

Then our nice Doctor Linsey came to give Craig some shots. 

And she did not come in her own car. 

She came on her little motorcycle. 

And she brought a helper with her. She is nearly a doctor. 

But they did not want any coffees today.

Because they already had lots of some espresso coffees at an Italian restaurant. Before their lunch. 

The nice nearly a doctor lady gave Craig his shot. 

And there was not even any blood anywhere.

I watched her very carefully, because I did not know her. 

I only know our Doctor Linsey. She has a little dog. 

She is going to be the very same kind of doctor as our Doctor Alice. My goodness me. 

Then they both got on that motorcycle and went away. 

I do not know where. Maybe another restaurant. Maybe.

Then Zita had to go downtown and Craig and I had our own peanut butter sandwich, with honey. 

Then it was time for my nap because I was very busy this morning.

Then Mister Paul came for his afternoon coffee. And he brought doughnuts. 

Craig and Mister Paul just talked about rascals.

That was not so interesting so I had my next another nap. 

And sometimes it was an outside nap. In the beautiful lots of sunshine. 

When our work was all finished Zita went over to Mister Mikes to bring Mister Clifford home.

He needed some new things so he would not just run into things. My goodness. 

When the came home it was nearly our own dinner time. That is my favourite time.

And bedtimes, 

And adventure drives times, 

And outside restaurant times. 

Those are very good times.  

Because I am always there to mind my family. That is my best job. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Four

Miss Pancake

My goodness me.

Some aeroplanes are going to take my friend Niamh to nearly the North Pole. My goodness.

She told me this morning. 

Because she is going to visit all the nice people she meets on her computer all the time. 

But it is very far away. As far away as far away Ireland. 

And it is the Whitehorse town. Maybe they have lots of horses there. Maybe.

But it is a not so very big town. 

It is not as big as here. My goodness no. 

But Niamh is very excited. My goodness me.

Maybe she will ride that horse. Maybe.

And this morning Zita and I went to our farm.

But we did not talk all about the Whitehorse, because I did not know about it until we got back home. 

But we saw all the farmers there today. 

Because it is the time to get all the beautiful vegetables into the very big barns. 

Yesterday we saw my cows going out for their after dinner walk around. 

They do not have cows in Scotland. 

Dugal told me they have coos instead. I do not know why. 

But they are very furry and have very very big pointy horns.

Then it was time for our own work. 

Craig did not have a sleep in this morning. 

And when he was having his first coffee Tarryn came here.

Because Tarryn and Zita took the too much stuff from that downtown office to a get it for free store. 

After I had my lunch I had to have my nap. 

If you do not have nice naps you will be too tired to be happy. 

This afternoon Craig used the shaking water machine so he would have clean feet.

Because his very nice Miss Doctor Linsey is coming to visit him tomorrow.

But I was still having my nap so I was not there to be the supervisor and Craig and Zita got the shoes all wrong.

The shoes were both the very same. And feet are not the very same. My goodness. 

Craig and I had two peanut butter sandwiches tonight for our dinner.

Because Zita had to go to a work meeting at a restaurant. 

We could not go because it was only a for work meeting. Oh well. 

And they even went to my very favourite outside restaurant, beside our canal. Oh well. 

But our sandwiches were very delicious too. Ha. 

Niamh said that peanut butter was the only kind of sandwiches he knows how to make. 

My goodness that is not true. 

Sometimes we have peanut butter and jams sandwiches.

And sometimes Craig puts peanut butter on both pieces of bread and then we put way too much lovely smelly cheese from France right there.

So then we have a peanut butter and cheese and peanut butter sandwich. Ha. That is a very tasty sandwich.

When Zita got home we still had time to watch our detective program, but not for a long time.

Because we were all too tired. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Three

Miss Pancake 

We got up right away this morning. 

Because it was,a very busy day.

So Zita and I went to our farm and had a very lovely time.

And it was all beautiful weather again today. My goodness me.

And when we got home I met a brand new friend. Right in front of my house.

And she was a very very big lady dog. 

And she was just all white as could be. 

Just like me, except I am all black. Ha. 

She is a guard the sheep in the mountains dog. 

Because sometimes wolves try to eat those sheeps. 

And her name is Nula. My goodness me. 

Zita's Aunt was a Nula. It is a from Ireland name. Like Niamh.

And we played together for a long time. 

And the lady’s name was Miss Clare, and she said that me and Nula should have nice walks together. 

My goodness that was a good idea.

But then we both had to go to our houses. To get everybody all awake. Ha.

When Craig was all awake I was very busy minding Zita, when she talked to her parents. 

They are still in very far away Dublin. 

And they wanted to talk all about my friend Niamh’s visit to Ireland. My goodness.

And when Craig was having his first too many coffees my friend Tarryn was here. 

With Mister Jamie’s giant car. 

Because today they are taking everything away from Zita’s downtown office.

Because soon now there will be no downtown office anymore.

Because now everybody will work in their very own offices. In their own houses. 

So now Zita will only work where she has fluffy coffee, and a comfy sofa and me. Ha. 

Then Mister Clifford and the giant car went downtown to get everything and take it all away.

So I stayed here to mind Craig.

And when he had his next coffee we had one of the very delicious muffins too. 

And after my lunch Craig the very last muffin. But he shared it with me.

Then I was time for my afternoon nap.

I did not go outside for my nap today, because it was a little too hot. My goodness me. 

And it is not even summertime anymore. 

When all the ladies came back Niamh and Tarryn had to get their beautiful clothes on right away. 

Not their smelly work all day clothes. 

Because they were going to dinner with Miss Allie and Miss Katie. 

And they are going to Festis and Furrgus’s very favourite restaurant. Up on the busy street. 

Craig and Zita had little full of tasty meat pies.

Then it was time for us to watch our very good detective program.

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty Two

Miss Pancake

When we went to the farm this morning there were lots of people there.

Zita said that they were all racing each other.  

But they were not so fast as I am. Ha.

And today my corns are even bigger. 

My goodness the farmers must be very happy. 

When we got home Craig was all dressed, because he was going to breakfast with his old friends, right on his computer.

But not in one of those sit outside restaurants. Oh well.

So I stayed in the living room, so I could mind him and Zita at the same time. 

Because Zita was outside taking away all those silly weeds. 

Then it was my lunchtime, and when I was finished it was Craig’s lunchtime too.

And he had one of our very big and tasty muffins for his lunch. 

And I helped him clean up everywhere, because those muffins make lots of tasty crumbs. 

And when Zita got home we all went back to our farm for another run around. 

And this time there was nobody there except us. Ha.

And after we got home Zita and her not so fast bicycle went to the busy street and got two very delicious rollups.

The two very nice brothers made them for us. 

And they were for our dinner. Ha.

And when we were having dinner my friend Niamh came here to get all dressed up.

Because it was Miss Lily’s singing happy birthday day today.

And Zita drove her to the party.

And when she got home it was detective program time for us.

It was too early for bedtime. Oh well. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty One

Miss Pancake 

When Zita and I got up, I went outside and found another as beautiful as could be day for us.

So we woke up the fast car and we all went to our farm.

I did not find any good fast running sticks today. 

And I looked all over. Too bad for me. 

When we got back I minded Zita in our office, while she was busy working.

Craig had a big sleep in this morning, and when he got up he only had his coffee.

Because we ate all the muffins. Too bad for us.

Then Zita’s friend Miss Maggie came for a visit and they sat on our lovely swing. 

I could not have my lunch until a lot later.

Because I had to mind them from my watching window. 

After lunchtime Niamh and Tyler came here to borrow the fast car.

So they could go to the too much of everything store.

Because Tyler’s apartment does not have even too little of everything. Oh dear.

Then Zita and Mister Clifford went to the other office for just a bit.

 

Then they went to get my tasty food because there was not a bit left. Oh my goodness me. 

When Zita got home she had a box of the very big, very tasty muffins. That was a good idea.

And she gave me a piece of slide all over everywhere ice. Ha.

So for dinner we had more of those very delicious hamburgers we had last night. 

Then I went into the den and waited for Craig and Zita, so we could watch the detective program together.

And I could have my before bedtime nap. 

Day Seven Hundred and Thirty

Miss Pancake 

It was a little bit full of clouds moving.

But the fast car told me that we should go to the farm, so Zita’s head would be all empty before our lots of work. 

That was a good idea, so we all went Zita and me and the fast car. Right to our farm. 

And we had a very good time. 

We looked at all the lots and lots of new vegetables. 

We have our own vegetables in our little garden.

And we had our very own tomatoes, on our hamburgers last night. 

And then I saw a giant tractor. It belonged to the our friends the farmers. 

I watched it for a long time.

Because those tractors are very interesting to me. 

But when we got back to our house it was nearly time for starting our work.

My friend Craig was all dressed as soon as I had my dirty feet bath. 

He did not even have a tiny sleep in today. 

Because he was going to talk to his nice Doctor Linsey on the telephone. About his medicines.

And she is going to visit us and have some coffee, when she gives Craig his do not get sick shots. Ha.

Maybe she will have biscuits too.

Doctor Alice likes biscuits too. 

But she said that they do not have such nice biscuits at her hospital. My goodness. That is not alright. 

Then Niamh and the fast car went to find Tyler and drive him to his far away office. So he would not be late.

This morning Niamh talked to her Nana and Grandad. 

And she told them that she and Tyler were going to far away Ireland to visit them. 

They were very surprised, and happy too. My goodness. 

Maybe they will see Emmet and Alice. And maybe our cousins too. My goodness me. 

When Niamh got back she had even more far away meetings. Oh dear.

And Zita had to go to the special store, to get her band new book that says she is Zita, even when she is in far away places. 

Craig and I stayed here so we could have our peanut butter sandwich. 

When I went outside for a nice visit it was so hot,I came back inside and had my nap beside my friend Craig.

Last night I kept his feet toasty warm. Nearly all night. That is a good job for me. 

This afternoon Niamh and Dina got pizzas from the not Mister Tony’s store.

But it is very very tasty pizza too. 

Craig and I got some pieces, and I got the very very crunchy crusts. My goodness me.

Then I had my before dinner nap. 

We had fat bagel sandwiches for our quick dinner.

Because Zita had to take Niamh to the tasty grocery store. 

Because Tyler did not even have one popsicle in his refrigerator. My goodness.

When Zita got home we still had time to watch our detective program, before my bedtime. That is good.
