Day Nine Hundred and Nine

Miss Pancake 



We had a sleep in this morning, and I had to get my friend Zita all awake.

Because it was my breakfast time. Ha.

And when we looked out the windows those high snow hills were just all gone away.

Because last night the giant trucks, and that giant snow eating machine took it all away. Ha. 

Mister Clifford and the fast car were very happy. 

But it was not even a bit warm. But we went for an around here walk. 

But we were all dressed in our best keep you warm clothes. 

Then it was time for our work. Oh well.

So I minded Zita until Craig was awake, and had his coffees. I got a big piece of Irish bread.

Then I went back to mind Zita.

But I had to remind Craig when it was my lunch time. 

Because he was too busy reading a story.



So I had to look at him until he remembered. Ha. Good for me. 

After lunchtime Mister Paul came for his coffee and to put some new lights on the basement. My goodness.

Then Craig and he talked, but I was minding Zita.

Because she still had lots of work to do. 

When Mister Paul went to his house it was snowing. Again. 

So when Zita and I went for our before dinner walk I got a bit soggy, and had to get in the bathtub. Oh well.

When I was all dry, Zita went to visit Susan, and she asked me to mind Craig. 

So I did. Because it is my very best job. 

And after I had my dinner Craig and I had some chips. Ha.

When Zita came home the sausages were all ready.

Because Craig turned all the right things on the stove. 

So those sausages were all cooked, and very delicious. I got an extra bit. 

Then it was time for our detective programs. 

And when I woke up it was our bedtime.

Day Nine Hundred and Eight

Miss Pancake 


We got up very early this morning so we could visit our farm.

Before there was even more too much snow.

So Zita and I and the fast car went there. 

But there was a lot of too slippy icy places, so Zita took my boots off so I would not just slide all away. Ha.

So I only did lots of running and not so much fast running.

Because of the ice. 

When we got back in the fast car we had to take lots of snow off it. 

So it could see the roads.

But we did not go right home.

We went to Tyler’s apartment to find Niamh.

And we took her to the not very far away school.

Because today is the day when everybody can say which rascals are the best. My goodness. 

So that is why we took Niamh to the school where you put your rascal in a box.

And it is a secret. 

When we got home it was time for our important work.

Then in a little while Niamh was here too. To do her work.

When Craig got up I was all fast asleep. 



On my brand new chair sheet. Ha. 

So he only had his good morning to everybody coffee. 

Because I could not help with toasts, because I was too asleep. 

And he had to have two coffees, because when he looked out our windows there was all the time snow.

After I had my lunch Zita made very delicious covered in jam sandwiches. 

And they were fat Irish bread sandwiches. I got some, and all the crumbs.

Then Zita went to see if she needed brand new glasses. 

And then she went to the school to decide which rascal she liked. 

Craig could not go, because of the too big snow hills everywhere. My goodness me. 

When all our work was over Zita and Niamh went together shopping.

For our dinner tonight, and for Niamh to get some good food for Tyler’s refrigerator. 

So they went to the not so very good, but close grocery store. 

This afternoon a nice lady told Zita that her glasses were wrong. My goodness me. 

But now she can get brand new ones. That is good. 

We had tasty fishes and some chips for dinner. 

I got some of the very delicious chips. 

Then we had time to watch the detectives before we went to fast fast asleep.  












Wednesday, 26 February 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Seven

Miss Pancake 


When Zita and I got up today the outside was as beautiful as could be. 

Because there was lots of sunshine everywhere, and it was not cold. 

After breakfast Tarryn came here to do her university work.

And I minded Niamh in our office, because she is very busy too.

Zita and Mister Clifford took Niamh’s old desk to the give it away store. 

But then a very big truck came right in our driveway.

Because they were taking away all the old stuff from Jennifer’s house. 

But I did not know that, and I thought maybe they were stealing all her stuff.

 So I fierce barked at them.

So I had to go into our office and have a nice very quiet nap, on the sofa in our office. Oh well. 

At lunchtime I took Zita and Niamh and Tarryn on a very lovely around here walk. 

And when we got home Craig had my lunch all ready for me, so I would not be a starving dog. Ha.

Then I helped Tarryn make her lunch. 

I was very busy today. 

Then Mister Clifford took Craig to the neat and tidy hair store. Ha.

I stayed home because Craig asked me to mind Niamh and Tarryn. 

Because they were too very busy today mind themselves. 

When Craig was all neat and tidy again, they did important errands. 



But they did not bring home any tasty treats. Oh well.

Before Niamh and Tarryn went to the hard  questions restaurant they had dinner with us.

And we had very very fat tortellinis for dinner. With Niamh’s own made especially for tortellinis sauce.

And when Niamh and Tarryn were gone we went into the den for our relax with our detectives. 

Last night there was an animal outside my house. I heard it. 

And just like that I was at my front window and was a very fierce minder dog. Ha.

Even Zita got up to help me. Ha. 

Then we went back to fast asleep. 


Tuesday, 25 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Six

Miss Pancake 


We had another quiet day today. 

Because we have too too much work to do. 

Two men came to my house to talk to us about Mister God. 

But I fierce barked them far away.

But then I got in trouble for too much barking.

After I had my lunch, I took Zita and Niamh on our long around here lunchtime walk. 

So we could have empty afternoon heads. 

But it was a bit messy outside, because everything was melted.

Because it was not cold at all today. 

But then I saw those men again, walking on my street. 

But I got in trouble for the too much barking and had to go into our office with Zita.

So I could have a quiet nap. Oh well, 

When Craig had his too late lunch he had the very last croissant.

He said it was a bit old, but those are my favourite croissants.

Because they make lots and lots of crumbs. 

And the crumbs are all mine. It is our rule. Ha.

When our work was over Sash and Tarryn came to visit me. And to go out with Niamh.

But first they had to find a not so very much money restaurant. 

But not the one with pretend chips.

Then they all got into Sash’s noisy Jeep and went to dinner. Just them. 

So we had tasty toasties. With everything on top.

Then everybody was tired, so we went to watch the detective program right after dinnertime. Ha.

Monday, 24 February 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Five

Miss Pancake 


We had a very nice quiet day today.

Because it was the back to work day for all of us. Except Craig.

Even Niamh was here when I woke up.

Because she slept here last night. 

Because she had a very busy day too. And early too. 

When Craig was all awake, I went in to our bedroom and helped him get dressed. 

To make sure he did not put anything on upside down. Ha. 

And when he had his coffee, we had a croissant too. With way too much butter. Ha. 

Then I went outside to visit my friends the birds. It was not cold today. 

When I came in it was lunch time for me. 

And then it was lunchtime for Zita and Niamh too.

So then we all went for our after lunchtime walk. 

Because everybody needed some brand new air. And their heads were all too full of work.

So they needed empty heads so they could fill them will the afternoon work. 

I was the very best polite walking dog. They said so.

When we got home Craig had some very delicious used pizza for our other lunchtime. 

Then I went in  and minded Zita all afternoon.

When our work was over Niamh went to find Miss Emily.

So they could go to a restaurant who makes fat toasty cheese sandwiches. 

We had those very very big bacons and from the frying pan potatoes. 

I got some of everything before I went into the den to keep Zita cosy warm. And have a nice nap.

Craig and Zita watched their favourite detective lady. 

And when Craig got my before bedtime snack it was time for everybody to go to sleep. 

Because soon it would be tomorrow. 




Sunday, 23 February 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Four

Miss Pancake 


I had another very busy morning.

Zita and I went for a very long all around walk right on the streets. 

Because the sidewalks have too much nasty salt on them.

And because it was not so very cold we went all the way up to the busy street. 

Then nearly as soon as we got home Craig was all dressed, and had his good morning coffee.

But soon I heard Niamh and Tyler but they said they could not stay.

Because Tyler had to play a game with his friends, and Niamh had to find Tarryn and Sash for breakfast. 

At a brand new restaurant on our busy street.

But just like that Niamh and Tarryn and Sash were back here.

Because there were so many people there they had to wait for their own turn to have a tasty breakfast. My goodness.

So they came back here for coffees.



And to see me. 


Even Zita had her another coffee.

Then they all left to go to that restaurant and Zita went outside to move more of our too much snow.



Because last night when I was fast asleep it was snowing again. Oh dear. 

I minded her from my watching window. 

When Niamh and Tarryn came back they went downstairs with Zita, to make the bedroom all squeaky clean. 

And we found the other rug that I used to sleep on, when I was very little. 



So we put it in the tidy as could be room. 

I stayed upstairs and minded Craig when he read his new book. 


That is an easy job. 

Then all the ladies, but not me, went to Mister IKEA’s shop to get brand new sheets for Auntie Eileen.

Because guests cannot have used sheets. It is the rule.

I stayed here, and Craig and I had chips. 

When Zita and Niamh got home they brought us brand new beautiful pillows for our sofa.

And I got a brand new comfy cover for my watching chair.

And we had giant bacons and cheese for our dinner.

And when we were all finished we watched a new detective program. 

And I fell to fast asleep. Oh well. 








Saturday, 22 February 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Three

Miss Pancake 


My goodness what I busy day I had.

After came home from doing our exercises Niamh and Tarryn came to visit me. 

So then we all made more Irish bread because it was all gone. My goodness.

When Craig was all awake my friend Sach came to visit me. My goodness.

I was very excited, because she is my friend.

She said that us black ladies had to stick together. Ha. 

That is true. 

Then Zita and Niamh and Tarryn and Sash all went downstairs to help finish painting Emmet’s room. 

And then moving everything everywhere. To make everything neat and tidy.

But they came up lots of time for breakfasts and lunch.

I got lots of cheese and apples from Craig. 

Because I am his very best lunchtime helper. It is know. 

Then everybody went downstairs again, so I minded Craig, and we looked out my watching window.

And there were silly cars everywhere. And they could not go anywhere.



Because of the snow hills. And some people got out of their cars. 

And some of them were not even a bit happy. Oh dear. 

So I barked at them. 



So they would be polite. Ha. 

Then Zita went out so she could visit Craig’s mother in her little apartment. 

I stayed here to guard everybody from silly cars everywhere drivers. Ha. 

Then Mister Tyler came here too. My goodness, everybody was here.

And after the downstairs was nearly all finished, everybody was tired.

So everybody stayed here and we had a together dinner.

And we had so many pizzas,  we had to make a pizza mountain. 



And Niamh found the special for just champagne glasses, so everybody had champagne too. My goodness. 

And then Craig and Zita and Niamh and Tyler player their very long game. 


And I stayed right beside Craig to mind them. Craig gave me cheeses. 


Then Niamh and Tyler went to a very late at night movie.

But it was too late for our detective program, so we went to bed. Ha. 











Friday, 21 February 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Two

Miss Pancake


My goodness, we got up very early this morning. 

And when I went outside it was still way too cold to go for a nice long walk.

But Zita got all bundled up and I had to have my red boots on and we went just around my street. 



To make sure everything was all right. 

Then we got in the fast car and took some fat croissants to Niamh, and we brought her computer too. 

Because she forgot it here last night. 

When we got home it was time for our work.

Craig had a bit of a sleep in.

Because his book is very interesting. It is all about a very fierce man with only 9 fingers.



Because one got cut off. By a sword. My goodness, I would not like that. 

And there is a wizard with no hair. My goodness. 

So when he got up it was croissant time for Craig and me. Ha.

And when we were finished Zita and I and the fast car went to the farm. 

But there was way too much snow there. 



So I could not do so much fast running. 

Because my legs went in all the way to my own tummy. 



So I just practiced my hill jumping. 



I can jump very high. Ha. 

But it was still a bit way too cold, and when we got into the fast car it was as toasty warm as could be.  

And when we got home it was just the very right time for our next croissant. Ha.

Then after I had my lunch it was time for me to go into our office for a nice afternoon relax on my sofa. 

Last night Craig asked the computer about my friend Colonel Dugal.

And it knew all about him, and Festis and Furrgus and me too. My goodness.

Craig said I was famous, but I knew that. 

Niamh always tells me I am the best dog ever. Ha. 

Before dinnertime I helped Craig get his feet squeaky clean in the shakey water machine.

Then it was time for our dinner.

I had mine first, so I could help Zita. 

When all the kitchen was neat and tidy, it was time to watch our detective program. 

Thursday, 20 February 2025

Day Nine Hundred and One

Miss Pancake 



We went for an early in the morning walk. 

But we had to come home very soon.

Because we were too cold. And I even had my red boots on. 

But Zita had cold eyes and I was all the time shivering. 

So we went home where it was all warm and had a little get warm relax. 

Then it was time to go to our work. 

The fast car brought Niamh home. 

She told me Mister Tyler was very surprised when he saw all his friends at that restaurant. My goodness.

Then it was time for her to do her important work too.

When Craig got all dressed he had a sticky bun for his breakfast. And some too much coffee. 

I kept him company.

Then I got a very tasty bit of cheese and a very big piece of apple.

When Zita was too tired of listening to people we went for our lunchtime walk.

Because it was only a bit too cold, not way too cold. Ha.

And when we got home it was my lunch time. 

Then I helped Niamh practice her music on her guitar. 

When she was all finished practicing, it was my nap time, so I went in the den to keep Craig safe. 


I got some tasty Irish bread before I went to fast asleep. 

When everybody was all finished the work Zita and Niamh went to the too much of everything store.

I stayed here to mind Craig and have my dinner. 

The fast car brought Zita to my house, but he took Niamh to Tyler’s little apartment.

Because now there was food for their dinner. Ha.

And Zita brought dinner with her. My goodness that was a good idea. 

And it was an already all cooked chicken, and I got a big piece before we went in the den for our detective program. 






Wednesday, 19 February 2025

Day Nine Hundred

Miss Pancake 



I was very very busy this morning. 

After our breakfasts Zita and I made an Irish bread for everybody. 

And when that was in the oven getting all cooked we went for a lovely all around walk in the sunshiny outside.

We came come and Tarryn was there. 

She came to visit me and to do her university work in our office. 

My friend Niamh was already there, doing her own work.

And then Miss Daphne came for a visit too. 

And she brought giant muffins too. My goodness.

Then Craig was all awake too. 

Maybe because of the muffins. Maybe.

He went into the den and had a tasty one with his wake up coffees.

I stayed in the living room to mind Zita and Miss Daphne .

A little while ago Zita told me a secret, but today it is not a secret anymore.

So I can tell everybody. 

Our Auntie Eileen is coming here for a little visit. Ha. From Ireland. 

And she is going to sleep in Emmet’s old bedroom.

Because now it has brand new paint all over it. Even the ceiling too. Ha. 

Craig said that her own dog is going to stay in Ireland.

So he can mind my friend cousin Lucy. That is an important job. 

Niamh and Tarryn made their own very early dinner.

Because tonight is the hard questions restaurant night.

And tonight all of Tyler’s friends are going to come there. 

And it is going to be a surprise party for him.

Because of his birthday. My goodness me. 

Zita and I drove Niamh and Tarryn to that restaurant. So they could make it all perfect. Ha. 

Craig and Zita did not go, because they are too old. 

I am not so old, but I had to stay here to mind them. 

Because they are too old. Oh well. 

We had an omelette from France for dinner tonight. 



And Craig had some of Niamh’s dinner too.

Because there was too much for her. 

Zita could not have any. 

Because sometimes she gets a sick tummy, and I have to stay right beside her until she is all better.

That is an easy job for me. 

Last night I kept both Craig and Zita toasty. 

Because I went to fast asleep right between them. Good for me. 

We watched the all the time sick detective programs.

So Craig will have to find a new one for us. Ha. That is his best job. 

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Nine

Miss Pancake 


My goodness me. 

Our snow hills are so very big that only a car all by itself can go on the streets. If there are two cars they will just crash.

So Zita and I watched them from our big watching windows. 

And when they were all gone we went for a very long all around here walk. 

And I jumped up on some of those hills. Ha.

And after we got home the fast car brought Niamh home to do her very important work. 

Zita had lots of work too, so I had to help everybody. My goodness. I was very busy.

Craig had a sleep in and when he got up it was my lunch time.

So he got my lunch right away and did not even have his good morning coffee.

But then when he made it he had a butter tart pie too. Ha. 

Then Zita had to go to the bank to sign some long papers. 

But then when he fast car did not take her.

Because of the snow hills. So she just walked there.

She had her very long warm as can be coat on. 

Because it was not even a bit warm outside. 

When I went for our morning to see everything walk I had to have my boots on.

Because it was too cold for only my feet. My goodness. 

I stayed here to mind Craig and Niamh and to have my afternoon nap in our office. 

When Zita got back I was already in our office so I could be her very best helper right away. Ha.

When everybody was finished their work Zita and Niamh and I made some very special delicious pastas. 

Craig found the plate pillows and put them on the table. 

And when everybody was all finished, Craig found me some extra very tasty cheese. Ha.

Then after we watched the detective program we went to bed.

Zita and I were already fast asleep. Oh well. 






Monday, 17 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Eight

Miss Pancake



We got up very early this morning.

Because we had to go to Tyler’s so Niamh and Tyler could borrow the fast car.

Because today is Tyler’s sing the happy birthday song day. My goodness.

So Niamh took him to another outside giant bathtub place. 

So they could get squeaky clean together. My goodness.

And she made a picture for him too.



It was a present. 

When we got home, it was still very early, so Zita and I went for a very long all over my streets walk.

The snow cleaning machines were not here all night, so we could walk right in the middle of the street, and there was not even one car.

Because of the so much snow. 

And after a while when we got home I heard Craig getting all awake,  so I went right in to our bedroom to be his best helper. 

And when he was all dressed we had a tasty muffin. 

But it was the very last muffin. Because we ate all the others. 

Then Miss Rai, and Miss Emma came here for a visit. 

Because Miss Jennifer was underneath her car. 

Looking at things. I do not know why.

Then Zita and the little girls went downstairs to look at Niamh’s old toys. 

But I stayed upstairs with Craig and we had a butter tart pie for his lunch. And even another too many coffees. 

After lunch time Zita went to have some coffee with Miss Bruna and Miss Christine. Maybe biscuits too. 

I stayed here to help Craig look out the window at all the snow. 

The push the snow machines went on the streets and now the cars can find their roads.

But there are hill of that snow on all the sidewalks. My goodness me. 

When Zita got home I already had my dinner so I could be her best kitchen helper. 

And we had Niamh’s with tortellini’s soup. And Niamh was not even here. My goodness me. Too bad for her.

Then Craig took his especially delicious cookies into the den.

So he could have snacks when we watched the detectives. Ha. 

Sunday, 16 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Seven

Miss Pancake 


My goodness gracious me.

When Zita and I were all awake there was even more too much snow.

Because all night it was snowing. So now there is way too much snow.



When Zita and the big shovel took away lots of that snow I sat in the fast car, so I could mind her. 

Then when the fast car could get onto the street we went and found Niamh.

So she could come here and finish her beautiful painting and put all of Tyler’s present in a big bag. 

When Craig was all dressed we had another blueberries muffin. 

Then it was my lunchtime and it was time for Zita to take Niamh back to Tyler’s apartment.

I stayed here and minded my friend Craig.

And he had a butter tart pie for his lunch. And another too much coffee. Ha. 

When Zita came home she was very glad. 

Because the fast car said there was too much snow for nice driving even anywhere. My goodness.

Craig and I had crackers and cheese. Zita made them for us. 

Then it was time for an everybody relax. 

But then Zita found the noisy clean the floor machine.

But she took it downstairs so I still had my nap.

But before dinner we went for an around here walk, to see if we could find the road.

The fast car said we could not go to the farm today. 

Because it would not be able to find the right roads. 

Because they are all gone, underneath the way too much snow. 

But we did not get lost just around here. 

But we saw cars making way too loud noises trying to get up the hill on my corner.

I do not think they had their do not get stuck in the snow tires on. 

So they sat there and their tires made nasty noises, but they did not go anywhere. My goodness.

When we got home Zita and I threw even more snow away. I got in the fast car to be her very fierce minder dog.

Then Miss Jennifer came outside with the dangerous throw the snow everywhere machine, so I went in the house.

Because was my dinnertime. 

But I had to wait a bit because I was a snow all over dog. Ha.

And I had to melt. 

When Zita came in we had our dinner and I got even more tasty peas tonight. Ha.

But I was a very tired minder dog. 

Because of all the outside minding I did today. 

So when we went in the den to watch the from France detectives I had a right beside Zita before bedtime nap.



Saturday, 15 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Six

Miss Pancake 


It was not so very sunny today. 

So Zita and I had a very nice good morning relax, and looked out our big windows at all the lots of snow.

We did not see anybody skiing today. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow. 

Because Miss Alexa told us that the fat clouds are going to give us even more snow. 

That is why those clouds are so fat. Because they are all full up with too much snow. Oh dear. 

Then Niamh came here to do some beautiful painting, and have toasts and some coffees.

She is making a beautiful picture just for Mister Tyler, because soon it will be his singing happy birthday day. My goodness.

And Zita was at the dining room table too, to put more of those little pieces together.

Because she is making a magic tower. Ha.



Then we took Niamh to the lovely shop.

Because she was helping Tarryn today.

Then we went to our hardware store, and I got a treat. 

Treats are only for very polite dogs like me.

And then the fast car took us to the farm.

But the farmer’s fields are so full of snow I could not go there.

So I ran up and down the giant snow hills the farmer’s very big tractors made for me. Ha.



But I got a bit covered in snow. 

When we got home Craig was all awake and it was past my lunchtime. 

But I did not have time to starve all away, because I had to get all that snow off my tummy. 

Because nobody wants a cold tummy. It is known.

And after I had my lunch Craig had a very big full of tasty blueberries muffin for his lunch. 

Blueberries are my favourite. Ha. 

Then I had a very nice nap when Zita made the house spick and span.

Before dinner Zita went to find Niamh at the lovely shop and took her to Tyler’s nice apartment.

Because all the windy snow was too nasty for her to walk there. 

And when Zita got home our dinner was already to eat. 

Because we made it before Zita left. 

And it was our very delicious just for shepherds pie.  

And I got some very tasty peas, before we watched our detective program.

After a little while Craig had his very favourite butter pie. 

They are very very little pies. And very tasty. 

If I am all awake sometimes I get a crunchy bit of the bottom. 

And Zita had some chocolates too.

Even before bedtime. Ha. 






Friday, 14 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Five

Miss Pancake 


We had a very quiet morning today.

Because we had lots and lots of important work to do.

Because next week we have a holiday. And you do not have to work on holidays. It is a rule.

So we had to do lots of it today. 

Craig and I had a toasty croissant when we looked out the window at the whole world.

But we only had one today. 



Because we ate too many yesterday.  

Today is the day when you tell all your family that you love them. That is silly.

I love my family all the time. Ha. 

Craig got Zita some very nice chocolates. In a beautiful box. And some smells for the smelling machine. 

Niamh found them for him. 

They could not go shopping yesterday, because of the way too much snow. So Niamh found it by herself.

Today there was a man skiing right on our other street, because of the too much snow.



And Miss Alexa said we are going to find even more snow tomorrow. My goodness. 

So after lunchtime Zita and I went to the farm. In the fast car.

But I had to wear my red boots. 

But it was a very full of everywhere sunshine day at the farm.

But I could not practice my fast running, because the snow was too deep. 

So I showed Zita my very fast hopping. and my very polite slow walking. Ha. 

And even some running without my leash. Ha. 

We always have a very good time when we go to our farm. 

But we did not stay for a long time because my tummy got all covered in ice and I got cold. Oh dear. 

So we went home. 

Then Zita went out to do rascal ladies work, so Craig and I had two peanut butter and honey sandwiches. 

Then I had my afternoon nap. 

Right on the comfy sofa in the den. 

Because today is Mister Saint Valentine’s Day we had Craig and Zita’s most favourite dinner.

And it was that very delicious smelly cheese pasta. My goodness. 



And I got a bit before it was cooked, and before it was all gone.

Then we went in the den and had our desserts too.

And they were butter tart pies. Butter tart pies are Craig’s favourite.

Zita had her brand new chocolates and Irish tea. 

So we had those desserts when we watched our detective program. 


Thursday, 13 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Four

Miss Pancake 



We were call very awake very early this morning.

Because of all the lots of snow. 

And Zita had to take Niamh to an appointment, so she had to move lots of snow.

Because the fast car was all covered up to the top in that snow. 

And you cannot drive a car all covered in snow. Because they cannot see what not to crash into. It is true.

So Craig was all awake to help me at my watching window.

And when Zita and the fast car were gone he had his another coffee. 

And we put croissants in the stove, until they were toasty, and then Craig put butter all over them. Ha.

Then we looked out the window, but it was not so interesting, because it was just all the time snow. 



So I had an early good morning nap, right on the comfy rug. 

But Craig had even more another coffee. 

And a toasty croissant too. 

When Zita and Niamh got home I was very busy.

Because everybody had lots of work to do. 

It was good I had already hap my nap.

Because I had to be Zita and Niamh’s best helper. 

Craig and I had biscuits and delicious cheese while I got all dry in the kitchen. 

You get very snowy when you go outside in the windy snow. Oh well.

Then I went into our office to mind Zita. 

When we were all finished our work Zita and Niamh moved even more snow.

So the fast car could go on to our street. 

Because they had to do some shopping. My goodness me. 

Everybody was very busy today. 

They were even too busy to take all the snow off Mister Clifford. 

But he was happy having a nice rest. 

I do not think Mister Clifford likes the too much snow so much.

Because he is a bit very big. 

Miss Jennifer cleaned lots of snow from our driveway, with her snow throwing machine. That was nice. 

When Zita and Niamh got back home they had those delicious rollups from the nice man on the busy street. 

And when dinner was over I got a bit with my own dinner. 

Then Zita and I and our fast car took Niamh to Tyler’s apartment. 

And when we got home it was our own bedtime. Ha.

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Three

Miss Pancake 



We did not have to go to work today.

Because it is our no work Wednesday. Ha.

So after breakfast Zita found all the special scissors and made me all neat and tidy. 

So when Tarryn came here to do her university work, she knew it right away. 

Because I was more beautiful. Ha.

When Craig got up he had two good morning coffees.  My goodness.

So we had two toasty warm croissants too. Ha. That was a good idea. 

But then I had to remind him that it was my lunchtime. Oh well. 

He is getting old. 

When you get old you forget things, even your best friend’s own lunchtime. 

Last night, after Niamh got home late at night, I got up on the bed and kept Craig’s feet as warm as could be. Ha. 

After lunchtime Zita went to do important errands and Niamh and Tarryn went into our office to do their own important work.

So I minded Craig and we looked out the window.

Last night the takeaway the snow machines took nearly all the snow off my street.

That is good, because Miss Alexa said that we are going to have way too much snow tomorrow. My goodness.

I think will just stay right inside and look out our windows and maybe have popcorns. Ha. 

After lunch Zita and I went to my beautiful toes lady. My goodness. 

Now I have beautiful toes too. Ha.

We were going to go to the farm, but when we were outside it was so cold we did not go.

And when we got back in the fast car, it said it was way too cold for nice people outside. 

And we are nice people, so we did not go. 

When we got back to our house everybody was still very busy. 

So I went in the den so Craig could play tug with me. 



And I won. I always win that game.  

We had sausages for dinner. I did not get any. 

Because Craig got me my very favourite pasta cheese instead. Ha.

Then Zita and I took Niamh and Tarryn to the hard questions restaurant. Maybe they will win tonight. Maybe.

When we got home it was time for a new detective program.

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety Two

Miss Pancake 


Last night my friend Niamh came home. 

Zita found her where the train have their rests. 

And she had a very good time in the old city. So did Mister Tyler. 

They saw that football in a very nice hotel. 



And she brought home own made stuff for our hotdogs. 

Brand new ketchups and very special mustard too.

Hotdogs are Niamh favourites.

But then it was late so we all went to bed. And Niamh had her own comfy pillows again. 

This morning we went to the farm and it was a filled up with cold sunshine. 



So I had to run around very fast, so I would not get frozen. 



But our very fast car was nice and warm, so we were not cold at all when we got home. That was good.

Because then we had to go to work. Oh well.

Craig only had a little sleep in today. 

But when he got all dressed Niamh was already working in the dining room and Zita and I were very busy in our office.

So he had his good morning coffees in the den. 

At lunchtime Zita had to go to up to the busy street to visit our nice dentist Doctor Don, and then take big boxes to the mail shop.

And Niamh went to Miss Dina’s because they are very very busy together. 

So I stayed here and I helped Craig make two peanut butter and jams sandwiches.

Because he forgot to have his own breakfast. That was silly.

I never forget my breakfast. 

Zita had to get the roof of my little house and spic and span clean. 

Because it was a bit too very dirty. 

So my house did not have a roof, or walls. 

I did not like that at all. 

Furrgus’s and Festis’s castle does not have everywhere roofs. I think that is why they do not live there.

Because cousin Mórag has all the rooms with roofs. Oh well. 

But when my roof was all clean Zita put it back on top. Ha. 

Then I had my good afternoon nap. In my very comfy house. I have a pillow right there, just for me. 

We had chicken pies for dinner. Those are very tasty pies. Craig always gives me a bit, in my bowl.

Then it was time to watch the detectives on the island. 

And they are Scotsmen detectives, except for the lady detective. 


Sunday, 9 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Ninety

Miss Pancake 



After our breakfasts Zita talked to Ireland.

Because that is where her parents live. 

And they are all as good as can be. And they do not have even one bit of snow. 

Then Zita went downstairs to do even more painting. 

So I had my nap until it was go to the farm time.

There was so much snow there I practiced my very fast snow running.



And I lost three of my red boots. 

But we found them again. Oh well.

And then I nearly caught an awful squirrel. But it hid in a very big tree.



I waited for a long time but it did not fall down. Oh well.  Too bad for me. 

But when I got home I was so covered in snow, I had to get into the bathtub right away.

Even before my lunch. Oh well.

When we got home Craig was all awake. He only had a little sleep in today. 

But after I had my own lunch Mister Clifford took us for an adventure ride.

Because Zita said if he did not go outside he was going to grow roots. My goodness me. I do not think that would be alright.

And we saw all the people on the slippery canal. 



And the stores that sell everybody delicious toasty warm treats. 

So they will not get all frozen. My goodness me.

And then we went to our very favourite croissant store. 



But it was closed. My goodness me.

So we went to another store, and got very tasty buns, all full up with delicious stuff from far away Italy. I got some. Even in the car.



I sat right in the special high up backseat. And watched everything from all the windows.

Because Mister Clifford is full of windows. 

When we got home Zita and the fast car went to the grocery store.

Because we had special dinner tonight.

Right in the den.

Because the very last football game is on tonight. 

And that is when we always have hot dogs and chips, in the den.

So we can watch the football game.

And Craig’s favourite team is playing too. My goodness. 

Maybe it will be an exciting game. 

But they do not have even a nice round bouncy ball. 



So it is not so interesting for me. 

So maybe I will go to sleep anyway. Ha. 

When it was over it will be our bedtime. 

That is always a good time for me. 


Saturday, 8 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Eighty Nine

Miss Pancake 


We had a very quiet day today.

Because Zita was busy in the basement all day.

Because she was painting Emmet’s room, so it is as beautiful as can be.

And Craig did not have a sleep in, because today was his old friends and coffee day. 

But when he was talking to everybody on his computer, Zita made him a toasts. 

So then I helped him. 

My friend Niamh is still at the giant outside party. In the very old city.



It even has castle walls still there. Ha. 

Mister Tyler is there with her too.



She sent me a picture and her glass was not a glass at all.



It was all ice. On the outside. My goodness. 

Zita was painting all afternoon, until it was time for us to go to our farm. 

To find the fresh air for our insides. 

It was not so sunny when we got there.

Because that sunshine was nearly all gone. 

But we had a very good time exercising.  Ha. 

But we were back before coyote time. Ha. 

I was very soggy when we got home, so I had to stay in the kitchen.

But I helped Zita make some dinner.

And we had very delicious ham.

And then it was detective time for us.

Friday, 7 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Eighty Eight

Miss Pancake 


We did not sleep so very well last night.

I think there were those silly raccoons in my beside yard.

And Zita had a nasty headache, so we could not go to work today. 

So after breakfast we had a relax. 

Then Zita went downstairs to Emmet’s bedroom to do some more painting. I had my good morning nap.

Then Zita and I made our beside us yard neat and tidy and we took lots of snow away too. 

Craig had a sleep in, because he was busy looking for a new book to listen to. 

Then Zita went outside to move lots of snow. 

She used Miss Jennifer’s snow throwing machine. But it is a not so strong machine. 

So she still had to use the big just for snow shovel too. 

Niamh and Tyler are going to an everywhere party in that very old city.

It is a party for the winter. Ha. 



And they found a castle. And it had a canon. Ha. 

That is a very good place to have a winter party. It is known. 

When Craig was all awake Zita cut all the delicious Irish bread in to pieces.

And Craig ate them for his breakfast. 

And he put the brand new from France raspberries jams on top. 

They have very delicious raspberries in France. It is known.

Then Zita took all the snow off our cars so they could see everything.

And then Zita and Mister Clifford went to the good groceries store for lots of tasty food.

Craig and I had a peanut butter and jams sandwich. 

It was the same jam we had for breakfast, but then it was for our lunchtime too.

Mister Paul is going to have dinner here tonight. 

After everything in the kitchen was nearly tidy Zita and I went to our farm. 

So we could have brand new air in our noses. 

And I could practice my fast running. And good listening. 

When we got home Mister Paul came too.

And we had before dinner treats. And I got some apples, and there was some cheese on one. Ha.

Then I had my nap in the living room, and when I was all awake it was time to go to bed. Ha.

Day Eight Hundred and Eighty Seven

Miss Pancake 



My goodness, when I got up and looked out my window there was more snow.

And it was so windy I could not see my own park. 

But my house is very comfy, so after breakfasts Zita and I went to work in our office.

But there were no lovely warm spots on my sofa.

Because they have to sunshine could not find us, because of the windy snow.

But I had a nap underneath the up and down desk. 

Craig had a sleep in.

Because he had to finish his very good book. 



It was a very good book, because all the nasty people got killed. 

Even some of their heads were chopped off.

Just like in my friend Emmet’s university story. Ha. 

And the nice people went home and started a lovely hardware shop. Ha. 

When Craig was all very awake he made Zita one of her special fluffy coffees.

And then he got my lunch all ready and there was even a cheesie treat too. 

And then he made his own coffee in his do not get cold cup. Ha.

Zita was very very busy with Mister Manuel fixing the rascal ladies computers. 

So I had my after lunchtime nap. 

Because I do not know so much about those computers. Oh well. 

Craig and I had Irish bread with Mister JJ’s jams for our first lunch.

And we had a big peanut butter and honey sandwich for our next lunch.

Then it was time for me to have my in the den nap. 

Our magic map showed me Niamh walking all around the vey old city. .

But I could not see Tyler. My goodness. 

But Craig told me he is there, minding Niamh. 

But he is invisible. My goodness me. 

And then they went to an outside bathtub. In the snow. 



My goodness. 

When I was all awake our work was over, but I had to get my boots on.

Because we went to the farm. 

But we had to take all the snow off the fast car so it could see everything. 

Then we went and found the farm.

And I ran as fast I I could. 

But it was not so very fast today because that snow was very deep. 

And my tummy got all covered in that snow too. And then we went home.

Because of the very nasty windy snow.

We had Niamh’s tortellinis soup for our dinner. And Niamh was not even here. Oh well. 

Then all of us went in the den.

Because there was a new detective program for us.

And Craig has ice cream for his before bedtime snack.  

Zita only had her tea. 


Day Eight Hundred and Eighty Six

Miss Pancake 



When I woke up this morning everybody was already here.

Because everybody has work to do here today.

So they had a sleepover. My goodness.

Zita and I made our very delicious with peaches dessert. With the oatmeal on top too. Ha. 

Then we were very busy.

Because today is a spic and span the house day.  

Craig did not have a sleep in today. 

Zita made him his good morning coffee and he went into the den. 

Because Tarryn was in the living room, and Miss Dina was in the dinning room and Niamh was in our office. 

Zita brought him that peaches dessert and he had dessert for breakfast. Ha.

I waited for him to finish, because I always lick the spoon as clean as could be. 



It is a good job for me.

Zita talked to her sister for a very long time. They always talk for long times. 

Because they are sisters.

I do not have a telephone so I cannot talk to Bella or Beverly. 

They are my far far away sisters. 

I do not think they have telephones either. Too bad for us. 

But I have seen their pictures on our computers. That is nice. 

Zita had to go to our nice hardware store to get insides for the clean floors machine.

I could not go because I was way too busy minding everybody here in my house. 

But then we went to the farm. 

So Craig had to mind everybody by himself. Ha.

Because Zita and I were doing our exercises. 

When we got home Zita went to Bethany’s house to have tasty biscuits and treats with her computer friends.

So Niamh and Tarryn made Niamh’s very delicious cheese soup with tortellinis.

And we used the biggest pot ever, 


When everybody was finished I got a tortellini.

But then Niamh went to Tyler’s apartment.

Because they have to find the very early in the morning do not falling over train.

Because they are going to the very old city with the giant castle. And only delicious restaurants. My goodness. 

Then when Zita got home we went to bed. 







Tuesday, 4 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Eighty Five

Miss Pancake 



We had a nice sleep, but then after our own breakfasts it was time for work again. 

So I minded Zita, in our office, and was her very best morning helper.

But Craig stayed in the comfy bed listening to his book. 

And when he got up Niamh went to get Miss Dina.

Because they have together work to do. 

And then Tarryn was here to do her university work. 

So I minded all of them. At the same time. Ha. 


That is a very good job for me.

After Craig got me my lunch, he made a fat peanut butter sandwich. 

And today he put lots and lots of cheese on it. 

And the cheese was the very delicious one from Wales. Ha. 

I got a very big piece. And it was full of cheese. 

Then I took Zita out for an empty our heads adventure. 

So the fast car took us to the fast right away. 

But when we got there I saw a man with giant wings. Right in the next field.

So I did not do any fast running today. 

Because I did not know what that man was.

So I made sure that when we walked, I was always in right front of Zita, and I was between her that silly man.

Zita said I was the very bravest dog ever.  That is true.

So we had a nice slow walk around and then the fast car took us home.

When I got home Craig gave me a big piece of the band new Irish bread. 

Because I was Zita’s very best fierce minder dog. Ha. 

Last night Craig was looking at his phone and there was a little movie about Cork. 

And we saw Emmet and Alice’s apartment. 



Right on his telephone, and he showed it to Zita and me.

Because I was on the bed too. Keeping him toasty. Ha. 

But I did not see Emmet or Alice. 

Maybe next time they will look out the window, and I will see them too. Maybe. 

Craig’s friend Miss Andrea got another dog, Miss Cleo. 

And some of her is a Bouvier dog. My goodness. She must be happy.


Zita went out to dinner with all her lady friends. 

I stayed here minding Niamh and Tarryn and Miss Dina.

Because they were very busy working, even way past my dinner time. 

Craig just stayed in the den so he could read his book and watch the hockey game. 

But he had dinner with everybody and I got a nice bit of pasta cheese. 







Monday, 3 February 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Eighty Four

Miss Pancake 


My goodness we had an exciting day. 

We went to our farm and I ran around as fast as an aeroplane. 

And I found my fast running stick too. Ha.



But we could not stay all morning, because it was our back to work Monday. 

But just after we started our work there was a giant outside noise. 

With bright lights too. 

From in front of Bruna’s house. 

And everything just stopped. Even our music. 

Craig stayed in the comfy warm bed. To stay toasty warm. 

Because there was not any good morning coffee for him.

Because the coffee machine would not make any coffee for anybody.

Even all our computers were not awake. 

So Zita and Niamh and I could not do our important work. My goodness. 

So we just looked out my windows and talked.

Then there was a very very big truck right on my street. 

And then, all of a sudden, everything was all right.

So I went in our bedroom to tell Craig, and to help him get all dressed. 

I was his very best helper. He told me so. 

My goodness me. 

Then I stayed in the living room to keep my friend Niamh company.

She did not even fall down one time last night. 

And she went fast down even the very big hills. 



And Tyler and Tarryn and Jamie did not fall down either. 

So everybody was all right. 

They just had way too cold noses. Oh dear.

I would not like that so much. 

Because I have a very beautiful nose. Craig told me. 

Craig and I had little croissants for our another lunch. 

Then we went into the living room and watched all the snow falling right down onto our trees. 

And right in the snow my friend Sach’s noisy Jeep came, to take Niamh to their stretches class. 

So she is going to have snacks with Sach and not have dinner with us. Too bad for her. 

After our dinner we went into the den so we could watch our good detective program.

And have snacks too.
