Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Three

Miss Pancake



Because we did not go to work today, we went on a lovely very long all over here walk.

But it was not even a bit warm this morning.

And when we I home I found out it was a spic and span the house day.

So I was very busy helping Zita. 

After Craig found me my breakfast I had to help him with his muffin.

He had two cups of too much coffee today. I do not know why;

Even more of our flowers are all awake, and beautiful.



After lunch Zita went up to the busy street, to have some coffees with our friend Brenda. 

Her apartment is right there on the busy street. 

Craig and I stayed here to mind the very clean house. 

Craig had some very delicious cheese from far away Wales. 

And there was a dragon on it. 

Because dragons live in Wales. 

And some of them have as old as could be castles too. My goodness me. 

But our dragon, Mister General Rhome Clay lived in a very old apartment in Paris. On the very top. 



So he could land on the roof. Ha. 

He said the castles in Wales were too drafty damp.

And there are not so many croissant stores in Wales. My goodness me. 

And it was at a very delicious croissant shop where he met Colonel Dugal. 

Dugal was getting a whole big bag of those full of chocolate croissants. My goodness me. 

Now Mister General Rhome lives here, with his friends the Badgers. My goodness me. 

And it is not even a bit too drafty here.

That is a very good story. 

When I looked out the windows this afternoon, I saw that all our trees are getting all green too.


Pretty soon we will have our swinging sofa all ready for outside naps. Ha. 

I went for an adventure this afternoon with Craig and Zita. 



Mister Clifford took us to my doctor’s office.

Because we had to get my nasty bugs medicine. So they will not bite me. 

When we came home we got a very delicious rolled up for Craig and a filled up bagel for Zita. 

I got some bagel cheese. Ha.

Then we watched the very good detective program. They are very silly detectives.

Niamh is on an aeroplane. Because she is coming back home. 

And she sent me a picture from that aeroplane.


My goodness me.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Two

Miss Pancake


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

Because Craig and Zita had to see if the nice rascals won.

We were up so late we had to have toasts and jam, so we would not be all starved away. And ice cream too. 

But our rascals won. That is good. 

When we got up this morning everybody was a bit tired, but Zita and I went for our very nice before work walk.

And when we got home there was a giant bouncy rain storm.

But it did not catch us. Ha.

I stayed in our office, with the door closed.

Maybe because of too much barking. Maybe.

But then Craig was up and he found my lunch. 

And Zita went for a by herself walk.

Because I had to help Craig with the brand new very tasty muffins.

Our beautiful flowers have started. Zita took pictures of them. 



So everyone can see how beautiful our garden is. 

After she got home we went back to work. 

And then right away there was even more bouncy rain. And thunder too. My goodness me. 

But then it just stopped. Oh well. 

One of my friend Emmet’s students made something for their favourite game.



And it is Emmet’s favourite very very very old friend Mister Cernach. My goodness that was very nice.

This afternoon I minded Craig in the living room and we looked out the watching windows. 

But it was not so interesting today, so I had a nice nap. 

When it was dinner time we went for another nice walk, but not very long.

Because we could see that rain. And it was trying to catch us. 

But we were faster. Ha.

We had own made chips for dinner. And some fish too.

I got some before we went into the den to watch the detectives. 

Monday, 28 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy One

Miss Pancake 



We had a very lovely walk this morning, because our outside was very beautiful and full of the warm sunshine.

Today is an important day. Craig and Zita told me. Both of them. 

It is really important, because today is when everybody can find their best rascals. My goodness me.

I minded Zita in our office until Craig was all dressed.

And when he had his first coffee he had a very tasty muffin too. 

I thought all those tasty muffins were all gone. 

But Zita hid some just for us. 

Then I had my own lunch. 

When I looked out the windows there were little leafs on our big tree. 

This afternoon Zita went to do some errands but I stayed right here. 

Because it was so very lovely in my side yard I had my nap there.

But lots of times I went inside to mind my friend Craig. That is an easy job for me. 

My door was very open, so I did not have to ask to go in or out. Ha. 

When Zita came home she had muffins.

Maybe they are for our breakfasts. Maybe. 

We had a very lovely dinner and then we went into our den to watch our detective program.

But we did not watch a lot.

Because we had to watch the television to see who were all the new rascals were.

Craig said it a bit scary.

Because it is important that nice rascals win. 

When Craig had some ice cream I licked the bowl as clean as could be. 

He said things are not so scary when you have delicious ice cream. That is true.






Sunday, 27 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy

Miss Pancake 



It was our Sunday not any work day, but after Zita talked her far away parents, she had rascals work to do.

And she had to talk to people for a long time. That was not so nice. 

So Craig got my lunch and then I helped him with our Irish bread. 

Irish bread is very crumbly. So it is my favourite. 

Niamh is still at that island. 

And she sent me a picture.

My goodness me, even the horses there go swimming. Right in the ocean. 


My goodness me. I have never seen a horse in my pond. 

I only see them at the beautiful farm. 

Maybe they could come to my pond for a lovely swim. 

With the ducks.

When it gets way too hot. 

This afternoon Zita went to get her brand new very fast. 

So she rode around the streets for a test. 

Now they can make it just perfect for her.

And she can get it tomorrow. 

When she got home it was time for our before dinner walk. 

And it was nearly hot outside.

That is so our trees will all filled up with beautiful leaves. 

Because it was beautiful we made our  hamburgers on our outside stove. 

And my door was open all afternoon, so I could go out whenever I wanted. Ha.

That is my favourite.  

Then after dinner we watched a new detective program. 

It was one with the words on the television.

But I did not listen for a long time, because I went to sleep until I woke up and went to bed. 






Day Nine Hundred and Sixty Nine

Miss Pancake 


When we got up it was not raining. And Miss Alexa told us it was going to be an all the time rainy day. Ha.

So we went for a nice walk. Because that rain could catch us.

When Craig got up Zita and I went to my favourite store. 

And my friend Miss Sue was there. 

And I got a brand new very beautiful harness for my adventures. 

Because I got too big for my first one.

And Miss Sue moved everything all around so it was just perfect for me. 



I got lots of treats, because it took a long time.

We gave Miss Sue my old harness.

So she could give it to a nice dog, who did not have so much money. That was a good idea.

When we got home Craig made two toasts for his lunch. With lots of jams. So I helped him. 

Zita went to the give them your old bits and pieces place. I did not go.

Because I was helping Craig with the toasts. 

When Zita got back home we made even more Irish bread. Good for us. 

It is very hot on that island where Niamh is. 

I think she is swimming all the time.



It is not so hot here, but our trees are getting a bit green. 

And soon our very beautiful flowers will be here too.

There are lots of flowers on Niamh’s island. 


Because it is very far away. 

I think that is where the sunshine goes when it does not go to Ireland. 

Zita was going to get her brand new bicycle today. But it was way too rainy. 

So she went to find some just for the garden rubber boots. 

And when she got home we had very delicious stew. 

I smelled it all day, so I knew it was delicious. 

And I got a very delicious piece of meat. Ha.

Then we went into the den and watched a program that we never even finished. 

And all the detectives were ladies. 

And when it was over it was our bedtime. 




Friday, 25 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Sixty Eight

Miss Pancake 


It was another go to work day, but we went for a lovely long walk before. 

And we saw some of my friends the ducks in our own pond. 

But I did not say hello, because they were fast asleep. And they were asleep right in the water. My goodness me.

When we got home it was working time.

So that is what we did.

But I fell fast asleep and did not even wake up until I heard Craig getting my tasty lunch ready. My goodness me.

After lunch, when he had his coffees, he had a cookie too.

Because we ate all of the muffins yesterday. Oh well.

Niamh is still at that far away island. With lots of friends.



Even Mister Ryan, who ate all my favourite cheese. 

That island has giant beautiful beaches. 



And lots of boats too. My goodness. 

Beaches are Niamh’s favourite. And tasty restaurants too. Ha.



A little while ago Mister Pope had to go to heaven. 

Miss Poppy told me he she saw him playing kick the football. Ha. 

Because in heaven you can do anything you want. 

And nobody says that is too loud Pancake. Ha.

But now they have to find a new Mister Pope. 

And if you have a little red hat you have to vote for a brand new one. Or if you are a knight. 

One of Emmet’s friends, who teaches at the university too can vote.

Because she is a lady knight. My goodness that would be a good job. 

But I do not know her horse’s name. 

Emmet did not tell me. Oh well. 

Last night my friends Tarryn and Jamie went to the important hockey game. 



But our team lost.

And Craig was a little bit sad, so I got up onto the bed and slept right beside him. 

Until he was fast fast asleep. That is a very good job for nice dogs. It is known.

When our work was all over we went for a very long walk. And it was not on my own streets.

We went all the way to the lovely lake. To see if the ducks were there too. 

It was the first time we went all the way there. 

When we got all the way back, it was our dinnertime.

We had a delicious dinner. I got a very nice bit of crunchy crust. 

Then we watched a movie. All about getting a brand new Mister Pope.

Maybe we will Emmet’s friend. Maybe. 

After the movie it was our bedtime. That was a good idea. 

Because bedtimes are my favourite. 






Thursday, 24 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven

Miss Pancake



We had to go back to our work today. Oh well.

But Zita and I have a very nice together breakfast this morning.

And then we looked out the windows to see if the ducks were back.

But we did not see them, so we went to work in our comfy office. 

After a while we decided to go for a nice walk because it was so beautiful outside.



Then we went back to work, until Craig got up, and then went on our before lunchtime walk. 

And it was even warmer outside. 

When we got home Craig was eating a muffin, so I helped him, and when we were finished it was my lunchtime. 

We have lots of very beautiful flowers starting in our garden. 

Because it is springtime. 

After my lunch I kept Zita company until she had to have an important meeting. 

Then I went in the living room.

Because that is where my comfy chair is. And Craig was there too. 

He was just playing soft music so it was very easy to have my afternoon nap. 

The very big beside the pond tree is getting all green. My goodness me. 

Even our full of smells tree is getting all ready too. 

Niamh is still far away on that island. The one where it is always nice and warm. 

With giant beaches. 

That is good. Because she brought lots and lots of swimming suits. 

I had visitors this afternoon. Miss Rai and Miss Emma came to visit me. 

Before they went out for tasty treats. Ha.

We had delicious hams sandwiches for our dinner. 

But now all those hams are gone. Oh well.

I got giant green beans.

Then Zita went for an evening stroll with Miss Bethany.

I minded Craig. 

Wednesday, 23 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Sixty Six

Miss Pancake 


It was so beautiful today that we went on three walks.

And we had a wonderful time, every time.

I had a very nice quiet day today. 

But Zita had a very busy day.

And Professor Jill came to have her good morning coffee.

Then a very tall man came to talk to us about our new keep the house cool machine.

It is important to have a lovely cool house when it is way too hot outside.

All our from Ireland relatives just melt when it gets hot. 

Because the sunshine does not go to Ireland so very often. Oh dear.

So anther man will call Zita and some people will come here with that brand new machine for us. 

And take the old one away. So it can have a rest.  

Zita went to our nice university today.

Because the man we gave our very old piano to asked her to see what he did.

Because it was time for his professors to see if he got his important paper. 

And Zita said it was as wonderful as could be. 



And there were lots of people there. Even his mother. 

And Zita talked to her too. She was very happy. 

And he took the piano all apart to make very amazing things. 



And they all made music too. My goodness me.

And everybody said thank you to Zita for the piano. That was nice.

After the university Zita went to the just for bicycles store. 

And she tried a whole bunch of them. 

And now they are going to make one just for her.

Then she will have her own brand new fast bicycle too.

We had cheese toasties for our dinner and I got a very big piece too.

Then it was time for me to keep Zita company on the comfy sofa when we watched the detective program.









Tuesday, 22 April 2025

Day Eight Hundred and Sixty Five

Miss Pancake 


My goodness me. 

We had another do not go to work holiday. 

So we had a lovely good morning walk. 

Niamh was all awake very early this morning. Because she has lots of work to do.

Because tomorrow she and Tyler and Tyler’s sisters are going to a very nice island. For a vacation. 

So she had to get her important work finished.

And then Miss Dina came here to do her work here too. 

Zita had I stayed in our office and talked to lots of people. 

Even about getting a band new keep our house cool machine. 

Because our machine is retiring. I did not know that. 

Craig had a sleep in, because he found a brand new book to listen to. 

Last night I slept on the big bed nearly all night.

Craig said not many people have two beautiful ladies in their bed at the same time. That is true. 

So when he got up his feet were still toasty warm. Ha. Good for me.

Zita and I went for another all around here walk before I had my own lunch. 

And we saw that our pond is all full up. Right to the top.

After my lunchtime Zita went to do some lots of errands, so I  helped Craig make his lunch. 

Then it was time for my afternoon nap. 

Mister Tyler came to have dinner at my house. And we played catch the ball. Ha.

And we had toasty hams sandwiches. Because we have lots of that delicious hams.

Niamh got her giant bag. And it was all full of swimming suits. My goodness.

Then Niamh and Tyler went to his apartment. 

Because they have to find their aeroplane in the middle of the night. Oh dear me.

So Niamh gave me lots of hugs because she is going to sleep on that far away island. 

Not in her own bed with me. Oh dear.

When Zita got home it was time for our detectives. 

And after that it was our bedtime. 


Monday, 21 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Sixty Four

Miss Pancake 



My goodness what a day for me. 

Because we were still on our vacation, so we did not have to go to our office. 

And after our long walk and our together breakfasts we got into our fast car to do some very important errands.

And then we went to our nice university and found my friend Tarryn.

And she was all finished her exams. My goodness. 

So she was very happy. It is good to be happy. It is our rule.

And when we got home Craig was all dressed and having his own muffin. 

I helped him finish it.

And when I looked out the window there was water coming into my pond. 



Because it is springtime.

And soon my friends the ducks will be here too.

And because it is springtime it was time for me to get all beautiful for the summertime.

So Niamh and Tarryn and I went into the bathroom so I would not be all furry tangles.

And I had a bath with special just for dogs shampoo and some lovely no tangles cream. Ha. 

Then I went into the kitchen so Zita and Niamh’s very big blowing machine so I would be all dry as could be. 

I got lots of tasty treats in the bathroom. 

Then Niamh drove Tarryn to a lunchtime at her parent’s house.

But the fast car was very dirty.



Because the road at the Mahoney’s cottage is just lots of dirt. Oh dear.

The fast car is going to visit Mister Mike’s shop, so it will be all ready for the beautiful summertime too. 

With its go fast tires on. Ha. 

Then I had to have a nap.



Because getting beautiful makes me very tired, 

Then Sach came here, and Niamh and Sach found Tarryn and brought her back here. 

After I said hello, I went back to sleep. 

When I was all awake Zita was giving our money to the government.



But when she saw me, she said that now I was even more beautiful. That was true.

Everything said so. 

And because we are on vacation we had very delicious bagels.

Zita filled them up with that very delicious hams from Italy.

And we did not eat them in the dining room, we ate them in the den. My goodness that was a treat. 

We watched the very good detective from England. 

He lives on a boat, and only drives a bicycle. Even everywhere. 


Sunday, 20 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Sixty Three

Miss Pancake. 



I could not finish my very interesting story last night.

Because when the party was over I was very fast asleep.

Because all the lots of people stayed for a very long time  

But before the giant ham we had before dinner treats, and there was lots of very tasty cheese.

And Miss Bruna brought lots and lots of delicious little sausages, and they were all different. My goodness. 

And we had so many friends that Mister Tyler and Niamh had to bring up another dinner table from the basement.

And we had table sheets all over them. My goodness.

And the food was so delicious that everybody had extras, except for Mister Jamie.

He had extra extras. My goodness me. 

And everybody laughed so much I had to go into my little house so I could have my after dinner nap. 

This morning Niamh and Mister Tyler had to get up very early. 

Because they had make a very big lots of breakfasts. 

To take to another cottage, for a bring it yourself brunch. 

Then I minded them when everything was cooking.


On my special on the sofa blanket. 

Then Tyler’s sister came to take them to that cottage.

Craig had a bit of a sleep in, but I went in as soon as he was awake to help him get all dressed.

Because it was time for Zita and I to go for our before lunch walk.

And after lunch Miss Tara came to visit me.



Before she had her brand new baby. 

Tara and Mister Taylor bought a not so very old house. 

Where all the very delicious from Greece restaurants live. In Toronto. 

Because their apartment was way too small for even a little baby. 

Zita said that they are going to be very busy people. My goodness.

Then we went on an adventure with Mister Clifford. 

And we went to make a movie for Emmet and Alice. 



To show them where their party will be. When they are all married.

I stayed in the car to mind Craig. 


And Craig took pictures too. But they were only pictures, not real movies. 


So Emmet and Alice can see that there is a wonderful patio, with tables too. My goodness me. 

Then we went to get ice creams, but the store was not open, so we went to my favourite from France store.

And Zita got coffees and two from France angry buns. And they had icing right on top.

And Craig and Zita gave me some of theirs. Ha. 

Then we went home.

Because you should not have long adventures. 

Because then it will not be an adventure anymore. Ha.

And when we got home Niamh was home too. 

And Zita went into our garden to start to make it all as beautiful as can be. 

I had my nap. 

Then we had all the extras from last night’s party. And I got a very tasty bit of hams. 

Then we went into our den so we could watch our detective program. 

Then Craig and Zita and Niamh and I all went to our beds.

Because we have been very busy and were all tired. 








Saturday, 19 April 2025

Day One Hundred and Sixty Two

Miss Pancake 



We went force very very long walk today. 

And it was an all around here walk. So we could look at all the brand new flowers. 

But there were not so many of them.

When we got home Craig was already up, so I could not be his best good morning helper today.

He made coffees for everybody, but his special cup had soap in it. And he had to put it in the sink. 

But he had another one and he had a muffin too. 

Then Zita and I made the house all neat and tidy.

And then Zita made Craig all neat and tidy too. With my special neat and tidy scissors. Ha.

But then it was time for Zita to go to the busy street.

Because her very nice friend said our very delicious ham was all ready for her at his shop. Ha.

And she told Craig that the shop had brand new Haggis, all ready for Colonel Dugal and Festis and Furrgus. 

And she sent us a picture of them. 



When I woke the Badgers up. 

And when I showed them the picture, they all ran up to the shop, as quick as could be, before they were all gone. My goodness.

Those Haggis are the Badgers very favourite, with all squished flat potatoes and whisky ice creams. My goodness. 

They are going to have their very own party tonight, in Emmet’s bedroom, with the dragons. 

Then they will play card games. But not for money. 

When Zita got home she had the giant ham, and even more food. It was for our tonight party.

And we put the ham in the oven right away, so we could pour sailors rum all over it. 

Hams smell very tasty when they are in the stove. 

It is nearly hot outside today. I think the weather is very silly. 

But it was time for my after lunch nap. So I did not care. Ha. 

When Niamh got back from the cottage she brought Mister Tyler with her.

Because he was invited to our party. 

TO BE CONTINUED….


Friday, 18 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Sixty One

Miss Pancake 


It was a holiday day for everybody. And me too.

And after our very nice walk I helped Craig get up. 

He had a sick tummy last night, but I got up on the bed, then he was all right again. Good for me.

Then Zita had to make the inside of our fast car spic and span.

Even the messy dirty trunk.

Because the wintertime is all over. 

I could not be her helper because the noisy machine was in the car too. Oh well.

So I had to mind her from my windows. 



But then Craig had his coffee. 

But only one, because of that sick tummy.

But we had two tasty muffins instead. Ha. 

Zita came in when it was raining outside. 

And it was my own lunchtime. 

Tomorrow is our delicious ham party. 

So we had to make sure our house was a beautiful as could be. 

And tomorrow is another anniversary. 

It is Zita’s very dangerous relatives day. 

That was the day that they all went to downtown Dublin. 

It was a very long time ago. 

Because there were not too many cars to go downtown a long time ago go. 

And they went to the post office. 

But the people said that they could not stay there. But they did anyway. 

And they all had guns. Because it was a long long time ago. 

But after a while everything was all on fire.



And they broke all the windows. 

So they had to go to a jail. Even her grandad. 

And all her uncles and even some aunts. 

But not Auntie Eileen. She was not there. 

Maybe she was still in Galway. With her bicycle. Maybe.

And when everybody got out of jail they found brand new guns, under gandad’s floor. My goodness. 

So everybody shot at everybody else, until it was time for Zita’s gramma and grandad to get married.

And you cannot have guns at beautiful weddings. It is the rule. So they had to stop.

So they could live happily ever after. Just like those nice happy books say.

After lunchtime Zita gave me an important job to do. 

There was a bunch of cardboard boxes to tear up. 

So all the pieces could go right in the garbage. 


That was a very easy job for me. 

After lunch Niamh came here to borrow the fast car.

And we saw Tyler’s sister’s brand new dog. And her name is Miss Missy. 



Then I sat on the special sofa for a little bit, with my friends Zita and Niamh.



Then Niamh went to the cottage to visit Tara, and help make a very tasty dinner for all the Mahoneys. 

And she took her guitar and some delicious wine. 

And have a sleep over too. Ha. 

Susan came for a visit when Zita was in her new for sewing room. 

We had a very tasty dinner before it was time to watch our detectives.

But we went to bed early, because we had a very busy day. 

And tomorrow will be party day. My goodness me. 








Thursday, 17 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Sixty

Miss Pancake.



It was not so very warm outside this morning, but there was sunshine everywhere, so we had a very nice walk.

And then we got in the fast car and found Niamh so she could do her lots and lots of work in our house. 

And then Zita and I went into our office because we had even more work to do.

And after a while Miss Dina came here to do her work with Niamh. Downstairs in the other office. 

When Craig got up I was still fast asleep but when he was all finished his coffees it was time for my lunch so I woke up. Ha. 

At lunchtime it was not cold outside, so I went out to visit all the little birds. 

All the Badgers got home very late last night. And they all had a sleep in until way past my lunchtime.

Because they said their feet were sore from all the dancing. 

Zita said that she did not believe them. 

Because they all had nasty headaches and not even one foot aches. My goodness. 

And Dugal was still fast asleep, with two pillows over his head. 

We saw the Easter bunny this morning.



Zita said it was practicing for his Easter time adventures. That is a good idea. 

We are too old for the bunny to come to our house. 

But Zita always gets us tasty treats anyway. 

After lunchtime Niamh and Miss Dina were going on a new heads walk, by themselves.

But I stared at my leash very very hard until they took me too. Ha.

And I was so especially polite, I got treats when I got home. Good for me. 

Then Zita had to go to get another computer, so I went with her to be her very best fierce minder.

I had a very busy day.

When we got home we went back to work. We have to do lots of work today.

Because tomorrow is a holiday for everybody.  

So everybody can remember when Mister Jesus went to heaven. 

But then he came back, but just for a for little bit. 

I think maybe he forgot his keys, or his telephone. Maybe. 

Niamh did not win anything at the hard questions restaurant last night. Too bad for her. 

But tonight Niamh and Tyler and all their friends are going to a hockey game. 

And they are going altogether.

So Zita took Niamh and Miss Dina to downtown. 

So everybody will be together and get on a bus to take them to that hockey game.

Craig’s hockey team did not lose all the time this years. So they can even player some more. Ha. 

He was very happy. Me too. 

I am always very happy when my family is happy. That is an easy job for me. 

Zita had a Mister Kettleman’s bagel for her dinner and had a fat rollup from the nice men on the busy street.

Then we watched a brand new detective program.  






Wednesday, 16 April 2025

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Nine

Miss Pancake 



We did not have to go to work today. 

Because it is our Wednesday for not working. That is good because I am a bit tired of working. 

We went for a very long walk and found not even one bit of snow on our garden. 

Then Zita went out to do some important errands and I minded Niamh right in the living room. 

But when my friends the Badgers were all awake they told me it was a very sad day.

Because a long long time ago the Badgers and lots of their very best friends were in a giant fight.

To help a prince. 

And they lost.



Because they did not have enough loud as could be cannons. 

But the other people had lots and lots of those loud cannons. 

So nobody could hear the Badger’s very fierce bagpipes. 

And you cannot win battles when you cannot hear the bagpipes, Colonel Dugal told me. 

Then the Badgers and all their friends had to hide, and they took their bagpipes with them. 

And everybody hid in secret rooms in their castles. 

And the silly prince ran away to France, because he was not so very brave at all. 

And Festis told me that the prince ran away so fast he forgot all his money. 

And then all the Badgers laughed so much that Dugal had to sit down. My goodness. 

They were so loud that Craig got up to see what was going on. 

So Niamh had to tell him. 

Because all the badgers were still laughing too much. 

Craig had his coffees and said that lots of his long time ago relatives were there too. 



And some of them are still there. Oh dear. That is way it is a sad day.

Craig’s relatives did not have their own castles to hide in, so they went back to their little islands.

And got a big boat and then they all came here. That was a good idea. 

Then Niamh had to go downstairs for an important meeting, and the Badgers had to get their very best clothes all ready.

Because they are going to Mister Cameron Highland’s special restaurant. 


That is where they sing their sad songs and dance on top of pointy swords. 

Then they all have very big bowls ice cream with Dugal’s whisky on top. My goodness.

Then it was my lunch time and just like that Zita came home too. 

But she had to go out right away, because it is nearly Auntie Eileen’s birthday.   

But Craig did not even have his breakfast, because he was listening to the Badgers.

So he made a very delicious only jams sandwich.

Because Zita brought some very brand new bread. Ha. 

Then my friend Tarryn was here to have her coffee and do her university work downstairs. 

Then Craig and I had another new bread sandwich and that had peanut butter with the jams.

So it was a peanut butter and jams sandwich. Ha.

When Zita got home she talked to some people on her telephone, until it was our time for another lovely walk. 

And we were not even tired when we got home. 

Mister Jamie came to find Tarryn and Niamh and take them to the hard questions restaurant. 

So we had tasty toasts with lots of eggs on top. 

And then it was just the right time for our nice detective who always rides a bicycle.

Just like Mister Tyler .

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Eight

Miss Pancake 



It was another go to work day. And it was all day too.

We went for a nice walk around here for our good morning exercises. 

But then it was time for our work.

Miss Lily came here to do her university work with Niamh.

But they were downstairs so I only had to mind Zita, because Craig was just listening to his book.

But after I had my lunch I helped Craig when he had an angry bun for his lunch.

Then he opened the door to our office so I could be Zita’s very best helper.

It was a very quiet work day for us. 

Sometimes I went into the living room to make sure that Craig was not lonely. That is my best job. 

So we looked out the window together. 

And then the sky was full up with sunshine, so I went outside to see my friends the birds. 

Then Zita told me that her feet were a bit cold, so I went into our office right away. 

And then her toes were all toasty again. Ha.

And Craig had his another lunch he had toasts with too much jams on top. So I had to help him. 

Zita went out to get an empty head. But I could not go.

Because I was too busy with the toasts. Oh well. 

When work was all finished we drove Niamh to meet Tarryn and Sach. 

So they could have big bowls of ice cream. My goodness. That was a very tasty idea.

Zita made little pizzas. And there was extra cheese for me.

Then we watched a new from Australia detective program. 

But I did not a jump all over kangaroos.

So I went to fast asleep and kept Zita all toasty. 

That is an easy job for me.

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Seven

Miss Pancake 



My goodness me. Last night my leg got caught in our duvet.

And slipped and fell off the big bed. 

And I hit my noise on the floor. 

But my friend Zita was right there and helped me right away.

But I was all right. 

But I got lots and lots of hugs. My goodness me. 

Zita said I have to be more careful. Oh well.

We did not go out for a walk this morning, just in case my leg was a bit sore.

So after breakfast we went to work.

Because it is that Monday again. That is the day you have to remember to go to work.

Even if you are very sleepy. Oh well. 

Craig was very sleepy, but he listened to his scary book anyway.

After my own lunch I helped Zita make her lunch.

And there was cheese, so I got some.

And I helped Craig with his lots of butter on top angry bun. 

But then it was go back to work time for me. 

When Zita and Niamh and my important work was all finished, I took Zita on a very nice all around here walk.

And when we got back I helped everybody make our dinner.

Because I had my dinner first so was everybody’s best helper. 

Then I went for a ride in the fast care to take Niamh to Emily’s house.

And when we got back it was toasts time. When we watched the detectives. Ha.

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Six

Miss Pancake  


Only Craig had a sleep in today.

Zita and I were too busy for lovely sleep ins 

Because we were making a special from Ireland cake. And it was full of delicious things like oranges and even lemons.

We made it in the kitchen. 

But we had to stop so we could talk to our Nana and Grandad. 

When we said goodbye it was time for our lunchtime walk all over. 

But when we came back we talked to Miss Bruna and Miss Jenn. 

 I was a very patient good listener.

Miss Bruna made a little doll for Mister Lyndon and my friend Craig.

She made it all by herself. 

And it is a little nasty man, and you can stick pointy things in it. Ha. 



That is a good idea.

Then it was time for an adventure.

Because it was a very most beautiful day today. 

So Mister Clifford took us to a very big building, and Craig and Zita told some very nice people who their favourite rascal was. 

So now they do not have to wait until rascals dsy. 

Because they already did. Ha.

On then we saw Niamh and Mister Tyler going to an old movie. We waved at them. Mister Tyler waved back.

Then we went to a little store that makes their very own fat as can be sandwiches. 


And we got some. 

And then we went to the farm.

Because that sandwich store was right beside the farm. Ha. 

That is a very good place for a tasty treats store. 

When we got to the farm Craig and Zita ate those delicious sandwiches, and I got some cheese. 

And it was real from Italy cheese. It was not pretend cheese.

Then Zita and I went into the giant fields and there was not even a bit of snow there.

I found a stick and Zita found a stick and she threw it away. 

But I always found it. Ha.

And when we got back to Mister Clifford I had a very big drink of water. From a bottle of. Ha. 

Then we got some very beautiful flowers in a pot. For Miss Sharon. 

Because her sister had to go to heaven. So we got her flowers.

To remind her that heaven has lots and lots of flowers. 

And not even one nasty weed. And the bunny rabbits do not eat them all up. Ha. 

One day when I was fast asleep Zita scared a bunny rabbit all away, before it could eat any of my lovely flowers. Ha.



That was a good idea. 

And when we got home I saw my friend Miss Cara. Ha.

Mister Devon is going to play hockey with Tyler and Jamie. My goodness.

So Niamh and Tarryn and Cara can go and watch them. Ha. 

Before dinnertime Niamh and Tyler came for a visit.  

But Mister Tyler went home to watch a game with his far away friends. 

So Niamh had a refrigerator pizza, and ate it downstairs. In her comfy bed.

Craig and Zita and I went into the den to watch the rest of our detective program. 

But I fell asleep again. So I do not know who did it. Oh well.

What a very busy day I had.

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Five

Miss Pancake


We did not go for a walk this morning.

Because it was a clean the house day. Oh well.

And Craig did not have a sleep in, so I helped him get all dressed, then I helped Zita clean the bathtub.

It was very very dirty with lots of mud from our lovely farm. Oh well.

Then Craig had his breakfast with his old friends on the computer.

He had an angry bun with his too much coffee. 

I said hello to everybody and got a piece too. Ha.

Then I helped Zita with the spic and span brushes. 

So then there was not even a bit of dust anymore. Ha.

After my lunch my friend Niamh came here.

Because she needed me to help her.

Because she was going to remind lots and lots and lots of people about the rascals time. 

So everybody would get the rascals they want.

So she needed a very fierce minder dog with her. And that was me. Ha. 

And we got in the fast car and went all over everywhere. Ha. 

And we gave lots and lots of people signs for their gardens. My goodness me.

So we had a whole adventure afternoon. 

And I stuck my head out the window all the time. Ha. 
 
And when we got back Niamh and I had a very nice relax. 

Because we were very busy this afternoon. 

Then I stayed here to keep Craig company and help him eat some crunchy chips. 

Because Zita took Niamh back to Mister Tyler’s apartment.

And she got back I helped her make own made chips for our dinner.  

They were not the in a bag chips. 

They were the all chopped up potatoes and put in a kitchen pot chips. 

I got one for my second dinner, and some fish too.

Then it was detective time for us. Ha.

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Four

Miss Pancake 



My goodness me. 

When Zita and I got back from our good morning walk Craig was getting awake.

So right away I went into help him get all dressed. 

Because it was too early for him to be fast awake. 

Then Zita had to put some too many computers in the fast car. 

Because she had to work downtown again. 

My goodness that is not such a happy thing to do. 

After she and the fast car left I went outside to look for some very loud noises. 

And there were big noisy trucks all over my street. 

And they were cleaning my street with giant round and round brushes under those trucks. 

They were very loud.

And they went up and down my street lots of time.

So I came inside to watch them from my windows.



Because it was not so very noisy inside. Ha. Too bad for them. 

And then some little machines came to clean the sidewalks. 



Then those trucks came back. 

My goodness I was very busy this morning. 

But when Craig had his next another coffee we had treats too. 

And then it was time for my before lunchtime nap.

It was a very busy morning for me.


I stayed outside a lot today. 

To mind my house from those big noisy sweeper trucks. 

When Zita got home they were all gone.

So they did not try to get her. Ha. Good for me. 

So it was safe for us to go to our farm. 

And the fast car was already toasty warm. Ha. 

And I ran around and around and around.

Because I found an even bigger fast running stick.



But then I was so muddy we had to go home, so I could get in the bathtub. 

And when we got home, we looked and our beautiful flowers were still just perfect.



And when we got inside our stove was already to cook the pizza. Ha.

And I got some for dessert.

Then we watched one of Mister Tom’s detectives program. And it was our favourite detective too. Ha.

But I fell asleep right beside Zita. 

Because I had a very busy day minding our house. 

And minding Craig too.

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Three

Miss Pancake 


We were busy this morning. 

After our breakfasts we went to our farm, so Zita could watch my very best running. 

And I found another stick. 



It was hiding in the lots of snow. Ha.

But I found it, so I could be the very best fast runner there. 

But we could not stay so long today, because we went and got Niamh.

She was at Mister Tyler’s apartment. 

But then Niamh drove us to downtown.

Because Zita was working downtown again. My goodness. That was not so nice for her.

Then the fast car took Niamh and I back home. 

I minded Niamh until Miss Dina came here and they went downstairs to work. 

So then I had my good morning nap.

When Craig was all awake we had some more of those very delicious little cinnamon buns. 

After he had his lots of coffee. 

There were men on my street working. 



And they had signs that said they were working. 

I do not know why the had signs.

And there were lots of them too. 

And those men had very noisy machines. 

So I had to watch them from my window. 

Then I minded Craig all afternoon. 

That was an easy job, because he was busy reading his book. 

When Niamh and Dina were all finished their work they went to downtown and found Zita. 

And when Zita got home it was nearly time for our dinner. 

We had a very quiet day today. 

And we had a very nice early dinnertime, and we had lots of time to watch our new detective program.

And Mister Tom even found us more. 

My goodness that was nice.

Day Nine Hundred and Fifty Two

Miss Pancake 



It was a very lots of very bright sunshine day today.

But it is still way too cold, so the way too much snow is still here. 



That is not very alright.

But we went to our farm anyway.

Because we did not want it to be lonely without us.

So we went for a very very long time and Zita and I had a very good time.

And I did my fast running, even in the snow.


Because I found a fast running stick. Ha. 

And when we got home Tarryn was here.

But then Zita had to go to downtown to do rascal ladies work.

And it was our no work on Wednesday day. That is not alright too. My goodness.

But Craig was all dressed before she had to go. 

So I only had to help him, because Niamh and Tarryn were busy working downstairs. 

And yesterday Zita found new tasty treats at that too much store. 

And when Craig had his lots of coffee we had those treats.

And they were very little cinnamon buns. My goodness those were very tasty. 

Then it was just the right time for my before lunchtime nap. 

After my own lunch I helped Niamh and Tarryn make their lunch too. 

Then Craig went into the den with a big box. 

Because he wanted to clean some of the very messy drawers.

I stayed in the living room. Where it was safe.

When Zita got home it was time to talk to those ladies on the computer. 

But when Craig was reading his book he had brand new chips. 



But I was very patient and was waited and just like that, I got some too.



Tonight is the hard questions restaurant night for Niamh and Tarryn. 

So Zita and the fast car took them there. 

So they did not have a very delicious dinner with us. Too bad for them.
