Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Seven

Miss Pancake 

​We had a very quiet day today.

Because my friend Niamh went to Toronto. On that train.

Because Niamh and Tara are going to listen to some loud music together. 

Two different times. 

And Niamh is going to sleep there too. My goodness.

I think she will see Mister Charlie and Taylor too. My goodness.

This morning after our walk Zita went to the machines store.

And she found a new clothes cleaner for us. And Niamh too. Ha. 

I could not go, because they might put me in one of those machines. Zita told me.

When Craig got up his shoulder was almost all perfect again. That is good.

And when he had his coffee I helped him with the muffins.

Zita did not have a muffin, because she was talking to Auntie Eileen in far away Ireland.

This afternoon the present man brought us a very big box. 

And it was from Cousin Mórag, for Festis and Furrgus.

But it was just a bunch of very old dusty books.

But all the badgers were very excited. 

Colonel Dugal even woke up.

So they made toasty bagels and jams sandwiches, and went downstairs to their special room.

They did not even come up after dinner.

And it is their Friday night at Miss Irene’s pub. My goodness me. 

We had own made rollups for our dinner. 

And we had to find a new detective program for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Six

Miss Pancake 

I did not tell Craig a very big story today.

Because his shoulder was too sore.

And he took his do not too sore medicine.

So then I minded him while he was fast asleep. 

Good for me. 

But Zita said our poor cleaning the clothes machine was too tired.

And we are going to get a very brand new machine. My goodness. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Five

Miss Pancake 

​When I looked out my window this morning there was a big truck on my street.

And some men were working, but I do not know what they were doing. 

Zita did not know either. Maybe it is a secret. Maybe. 

But we went for our walk anyway, and we went to Mister Kettleman’s store and got brand new bagels.

Because then we went and brought Niamh to my house. 

And she had bagels with us for her breakfast.

When Craig was all dressed and awake he had his coffee. 

And Zita made him a toasty bagel.

I got two pieces.

Because today is the special day for dogs. Everywhere. Especially in my house. Ha.

Niamh was working with my friend Miss Erin this afternoon. So I minded them.

Then Niamh and I went outside to do our important work. Right on the swinging chair. 

I had a very good time. 

But when I was inside a silly man came into my garden and scared Niamh. 

And Zita said if he came back I should bite him all up. That is a very good idea. 

When Niamh went to the hard questions restaurant, we had our own dinners.

And then it was a good time for bed.

So we did.

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Four

Miss Pancake 

​It was a sometimes all full of rain morning.

So we had to be careful when we went for our walk.

Because we did not want to be just very soggy.

When Zita went to the grocery store, I had my morning nap, and minded Craig.

When he was all dressed Zita was home too.

And she brought brand new muffins too.

And Craig remembered my lunch, before I even reminded him. 

And when everybody had their coffees I helped with that muffin.

Tonight Niamh and Tyler are going to be here for a tasty dinner.

So Zita and I were very busy making a very delicious special dinner.

Right in the kitchen. 

And we made our very delicious brown buns for the dessert.

And everybody can make their very own rollups. 

With only their own tasty stuff inside. That is a good idea.

Chicken is my favourite inside stuff. 

Zita tried the clothes machine, but it still made the wrong noises. 

So Mister Paul will have another look at it. Oh dear. 

Ferrgus was on the telephone all morning.

He was talking to his Cousin Mórag in the castle. 

Because when he heard Craig’s story he thought he remembered a story from his great grand uncle.

So he asked Mórag to look in the other library. 

The one behind the secret door in the first library.

He thinks there is a very wonderful book about the Clan Badger. 

Before they were the Blackthorn-Badgers. 

So now Cousin Mórag is going to look for it. 

And she did not even know about the other library. 

So she was not so very happy. Oh dear. 

Because Castles have too many secrets. My goodness me. 

Not even Mister Lochlainn knew. 

Maybe his father forgot to tell him all the secrets. Maybe.

I do not know so many secrets.

Just Merry Christmas time secret presents. 

Those are my favourite secrets. Ha.

Before Niamh and Tyler came here Zita and I went just for a little walk. 

So we could have some brand new airs.

Before dinnertime.

When Niamh got here she went and got a free as could be lamp for her apartment. 

Then we had our dinner. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Two

Miss Pancake 

​I had a very nice quiet day today.

Because Mister Paul came black here at lunchtime.

And he fixed that clean the clothes machine. 

But only maybe he said.

So Zita and I have to try it lots of times with my towels. Ha.

Then everybody had even more coffees. 

When Paul was all filled up and went to his house Zita went to see her friend singing.

And she was on her own bicycle too.

This morning she talked to everybody in Ireland. 

To make sure that they did not melt in the too hot. 

But they were all nearly perfect Craig said.

But not as perfect as he is. 

Today my far away friend Miss Sally had her sing happy birthday day. 

And she got her own on fire cake. That was a good idea. 

Zita’s brother Mister Ciaran is in Ireland, and Miss Luna is there too. 

Maybe they went to the singing birthday party. Maybe.

My friend Niamh came to visit me, and to borrow the fast car.

I did not eat my dinner until she was gone.

Because I am a very polite dog.

She said she would be back, and nearly soon. 

And when Zita got home it was her dinnertime, and Craig’s too. 

And they had some of Mister Tony’s used pizza.

Then it was my bedtime. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety One

Miss Pancake 

​We had a very nice quiet day today.

We did not go to bed until very late last night.

Because of the very tasty special dessert.

So we went on a long exercises walk this morning. 

And we took our dirty clothes to Susan’s house.

Because she is away, so we used her clothes machine. 

Craig only had a very little sleep in before he made the coffees.

I was outside in my side yard, because it was Sunday nap time.

Craig told me and the badgers a story about his long time ago family. In Scotland. 

When some nasty people scared some nice old ladies. 

And would not let them out of their own house.

But one of their helpers got a big stick. 

And put it on fire.

And ran all over their neighbourhood 

So everybody would come to help the ladies.

And so all the family got their very big pointy swords and giant axes and even lots of very loud bagpipes.

And they walked all night to where the ladies lived.

And in the morning when the nasty people heard this bagpipes they all ran away. Ha.

And then everybody promised to be very nice, and not be scary. Forever.

And when those Scotsmen left they took all the beautiful horses with them.

So they did not have to walk back home. Ha. 

And then all those horses decided to just stay there. My goodness. 

The badgers thought that was a very good story. Me too. 

Before dinner we went on an adventure ride. Mister Clifford took us. 

And we looked at the brand new hospital. 

But it is still just a very big giant hole.

Then when we got home it was my own dinnertime. 

So Craig got it for me right away. 

And after Craig and Zita had dinner Craig had to find a new detective program for us. 

That is his best job. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety

Miss Pancake 

​We had a very nice quiet day. 

Because we were very busy yesterday. 

So Zita told me that we won a relax day. Ha. Good for us.

But we still had our lovely good morning to everyone walk. 

Because it was a very beautiful day all over.

So Mister Tom was riding his too fast motorcycle. He told Craig. 

We only did a little bit of interesting work in the garden.

Because it was the relax day for us.

Mister Paul came here for dinner.

And to look at the too noisy clothes machine.

Broken things are his favourite things to look at.

My cousin Ciara could not have a relax day.

Because she went swimming in the giant ocean. 

My goodness me. That is where those giant whales live.

But they did not catch her. 

Maybe they caught some of the other people there instead. My goodness me.

We had a very delicious dinner with Mister Paul.

And because it it was Emmet and Alice’s anniversary we had a very delicious dessert.

And the same lovely shop that made their desserts made this one too. My goodness.

Then it was our very own bedtime.

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Nine

Miss Pancake 

​My goodness me.

We were so busy today that I almost forgot all about my lunch. 

After our breakfast we saw that it was a beautiful outside day.

So we went for a - do our errands walk.

And we went to my hardware store, to get important things.

Because our get our clothes cleaned machine is way too loud. 

So Mister Paul is going to fix it.

So we got some fix it things, and I got my special treat. 

Then we went to visit our canal, and then we found a brand new shop. 

And nice dogs, like me can go inside. 

So we did, and Zita got a giant ice cream cone.

And she ate it all the way back home.

And when we got home it was past my lunchtime, but Craig remembered.

And when we were all full up, we took Emmet’s books to another books store. 

And they gave Zita lots of free coffees for the books. 

Because they are a coffees store too. My goodness. 

And they like dogs too. 

But only when they are polite, just like me.

Then Miss Jennifer came here for some coffees. 

So I minded everybody, by myself.

Then Zita went to Niamh’s apartment and gave her those very clean clothes. 

I stayed here to mind Craig. And to have a nice relax. 

And when Zita came home it was everybody’s dinnertime. I did not forget.

But we had to make all our grass neat and tidy with toe cutting machine.

And then Mister Tony’s friend brought us a very delicious pizza, for our dinner. 

And after our dinnertime cleaning up, we watched a new detective program from Mister Tom. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Eight

Miss Pancake 

​I was the very best garden helper dog today.

After our walk Zita and I made the garden all sparkly clean. 

And when the silly dog from the other street was here, so I ran right up to him.

I told him this is my garden, and it is my Zita.

I did not even have to give him my very fierce growl, I just looked at him for a long time, and then he went away.

Because he is a just a very silly dog. 

Then we had our lunch. 

And when Zita went to do her important errands I had my nap.

But then I heard the bedroom door open and I went to see my friend Craig.

And after we said good morning, he opened my door and I went outside until Zita came home.

We stayed inside this afternoon because it got too hot. Oh well. 

My friend Sally was very busy too.

Because she is minding Mister Ben all the time. That is her very best job.

The present man brought us more of Zita’s favourite special coffees. 

But he was a new present man, so I barked at him. Oh well. 

Then Zita took Emmet’s old books to the extra books shop.

Craig and I stayed here and had a lovely relax. 

And I told him my today story. 

So now everybody will know all about our beautiful garden. 

When Zita got home she had a present. 

And that present was for me.

And it was a big ball for me to chase. My goodness me. 

That was a surprise. 

Then Zita chased me, and tried to steal my ball.

But she could not get it. 

Because I am very fast. Ha.

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Seven

Miss Pancake 

​Today was my make me beautiful day.

And I did not even know it.

We had another lovely very lovely walk and we saw my friends the ducks.

And it was a beautiful as could be day today. 

So we had a long walk.

And then we went and got Niamh at the apartment. 

So she could make all her dirty clothes all squeaky clean.

And after lunch she said it was just the right time to make me all beautiful. My goodness.

So we went into the side yard and Zita and Niamh found all the make me beautiful tools.

Then I was the very best dog. 

So I got lots of treats.

But when I was beautiful I had to have a big bath. Oh well.

And then Zita got the make you dry machine. Oh well. 

But then I was very tired.

So I had a nap.

Craig said getting beautiful makes you very tired.

It is true.

He said that is why he has nice sleep ins. Ha. 

Tonight is the hard questions restaurant night. So Niamh went to find Tyler. 

So they could have a together dinner.

When our dinners were finished we watched the detectives.

Because everybody was a bit too tired. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Six

​Miss Pancake 

We had another lovely outside today.

But we went on our big very long walk before it was hot.

The present man came here two times today.

And all the presents were Tyler’s. My goodness me.

Zita had lots of important errands to do this morning.

So I minded Craig when he was listening to his book.

When Zita got home Craig made the coffees for everybody.

And then we had brand new cinnamon buns. 

After lunchtime Zita and I went downstairs to put all of Emmet’s not any good stuff in a box.

But we need even more boxes. My goodness me. 

So I was downstairs busy all afternoon, until my dinnertime. 

My friend Doctor Miss Andrea was in those mountains again.

And she sent me pictures too.

She had her good morning coffee outside today. 

In the mountains. My goodness me. 

Craig and Zita had that tasty from India chicken for dinner.

I got some very very delicious peas.

And then it was time to go to bed and watch the detectives on the television.

Last night I kept Craig’s toes warm until it was morning time. 

He was very happy. He told me.

Day Two Hundred Two Thousand and Eighty Five

​Miss Pancake  

What a very very busy day I had. 

Last night when Niamh came home from the cottage the fast car made a nasty noise.

So they left it at the lovely shop. 

So this morning, after our breakfast Zita and I went on an adventure walk.

All the way to there.

And we went over that scary bridge. 

So we could take the car to Mister Mike’s. 

Because the lovely shop is nearly just beside the garage,

And when we went there Miss Martha gave me my best dog treat.

Miss Martha always has treats for me. Ha.

And I said hello to all of the very nice helpers too. 

Mister Mike’s is my favourite garage. 

Then we walked home. 

And I saw the hole in the fence where the silly car went into the canal. My goodness me.

When we got home I had a very nice relax, after my lunch.

Then Zita went for her exercises walk and I minded Craig.

But he did not have a big sleep in.

So we had our cinnamon buns before Zita got back home. 

After our lunchtime I had a very nice outside nap.

Before our dinner time, my friend Miss Martha talked to Zita on her telephone. 

She said the fast car was all fast again, and had no nasty noises.

So Zita walked over so she could bring our fast car back to its own driveway.

I stayed here so Craig would not get into any trouble. Ha. 

When Zita found the fast car, she found Niamh and Tarryn too. 

At the grocery store. My goodness me.

And when she came home I already had my dinner.

So I had to wait until it was detective time for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Four

Miss Pancake 

We had a very nice and slow day.

After we were all awake and all filled up we went for a long walk.

And we went up to the busy street so we could visit all the nice farmers.

And we bought a very very big croissant. With almonds too. Ha.

When we got home I had my lunchtime relax.

And Zita did our computer errands.

Craig had a sleep in today.

But when he was all dressed he made all the coffees, before he had his croissant.

But he saved all the crumbs for me. 

Then I went back into the den for my before dinnertime relax.

After everybody’s dinner was all eaten up, I got a very tasty bit of brand new bread, with butter on top.

I saw Alice’s father, was playing his music on our computer, and he had a new hat.

Because it was too hot for his other hat. 

But he does not wear it on his motorcycle. That is good.

Then it was our time to watch Tom’s detective program. 

He always has very good detective people. It is known. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Three

Miss Pancake 

​I was up very late last night.

Because I had a big sick tummy.

Because I got too too hot.

But Zita got me into a very lovely cold shower. 

Then Niamh and Tarryn came here.

And they got my special scissors and took away lots of my too much fur.

And this morning after my breakfast, Zita took even more away. 

Then we went on a very nice walk, and when we got home I was not too hot. Just a bit tired.

So I sat in my comfy chair and looked out the window at the whole world.

So after Zita and I had a very nice relax we went on another walk. 

To do some errands.

When Craig was all dressed it was time to see my friend Emmet on the computer.

Emmet and Alice and her father went to hear a story all about Mister Cú Chulainn.

And there were people singing, and even not too loud music.

Mister Cú Chulainn is one of Emmet’s very old story friends. 

We did not talk to Doctor Alice, because she was at her hospital until very late tonight.

We put up our do not get too hot umbrella, so we do not got too hot when we are in the  garden.

Then Zita walked up to the busy street to get some no cooking dinner. 

But then I got a very bad story. 

Craig saw in his computer that those fires found my old home. And now it is all just all burnt up.

Even my barn and my mother’s house.

But she is all fine and she got all her beautiful horses away. 

Before that fire got there. My goodness me. 

Now there are going to make brand new barns, and a new house too. My goodness me.

My mother is going to be very busy. 

My two big brother, Mister Bruce and Mister Barney, their far away ranch did not get found by that fire. 

So their horses are very happy. That is good.

When Zita got home she brought two no cooking dinners.

Craig got giant meatballs and Zita had salmons. In is salad. 

And Zita found a new have a drink at nighttime bottle for Craig.

And I get his old one. For adventure trips.

That is a good present. 

Tonight we will watch the detective who is a professor too. Goodness me. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Two

Miss Pancake 

​My goodness me, I was so busy today.

When we went for our walk we met my friend Lee and we talked for a nice time.

Then we got Niamh, and she came home with us.

Because she had to borrow the fast car.

Because she had to get her friend Rowan, and her nearly new baby.

Then Craig got up and when he had his coffee we looked out the window.

And then Niamh was here. 

And Rowan and her own baby were here too.

And that baby is nearly Irish, because her name is Miss Fáilin.

And Miss Fáilin can nearly almost walk. 

But I could not play with her.

Because she is very little and I am a little bit too big.

So I minded everybody, and Lee came here too.

And everybody had toasty bagels. I got lots of crunchy pieces. 

As a tasty treat.

Because I was so very good minding Miss Fáilin. Ha.

Then they all went to meet Tyler at the apartment. 

And just like that it was our dinner time. My goodness.

Craig had those delicious chicken pieces. 

So I had some too. 

Then it was time for new detectives for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty One

​Miss Pancake 

Well we had a lovely day. 

And it was a special day for me. 

Because when Niamh came here, with all her dirty clothes, we went for a very long walk.

And it was just me and Niamh together.

And when we got back to my house we made tasty croissants.

And Craig only had a little sleep in today.

So we had those croissants nearly right away.

Then when all of Niamh’s clothes were all dry we drove her back to her apartment.

But when we got home Zita had to go and look at her friend’s house, before she did her errands.

I stayed here to mind Craig, and to have an afternoon relax.

Zita told me that there was more too much hot in Ireland than here. My goodness.

And they do not even have those cool house machines. Oh dear. 

Maybe Emmet and Alice will have to hide in the university cool rooms. Maybe.

Alice’s father just goes very fast on his motorcycle, then he gets all nice and cool. Ha. 

Last night it got so very bright outside that Zita and I had to get up and look out the watching window.

And there was a giant wind and trees fell right down on the ground. 

But not our trees. That was good.

Then we went to back asleep, until this morning. 

Because then it was our breakfast time. Ha.

Craig and Zita had little pieces of chicken for dinnertime.

And I got a very very tasty piece. 

So when it was detective time I was all full up,  and went to fast asleep on the big bed. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty

​Miss Pancakes

My goodness me. 

What a very busy day I had.

It was so beautiful outside, and not even too hot for toes, that we went for a long walk.

But I did not see any of my friends today.

Maybe they are on vacation. Maybe. 

When Niamh came here we had so much important work to do that I had to be her very best assistant for nearly all day.

Even when Miss Janet came here for Craig’s stretching exercises I was too busy to mind him. My goodness.

But he told me he did not mind. 

Today is the day to remember all the lovely elephants everywhere.

Emmet’s very most favourite were those Punic elephants. Ha.

They were very fierce elephants, and they could climb mountains too. My goodness me.

Tonight is the hard questions restaurant night for Niamh and all her friends .

Mister Tyler sent me some pictures of the forest adventure. 

And they had delicious sausages. 

And very delicious steaks too.

And they cooked them right outside. On a real fire. 

And they even ate them outside too. 

Because Niamh brought our outside restaurant. That was a very good idea. 

Zita and I took Niamh to find Tyler at that restaurant.

And when we got home Craig had my dinner all ready for me.

So I was not even a bit hungry. 

Then Craig and Zita had their dinners too. 

And I had my after dinner nap. 

Craig had those from far away China rollups for his dinner. 

I got two of the very crunchy ends. Ha.

Then it was detective time for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Nine

Miss Pancake 

​It was another hot day today.

But we fooled it.

Because we went for our walk early. 

And that hot did not even know where we were. Ha.

And we met Mister Jasper at my pond.

And then we met him again at our other pond, so we played chase together.

So we had a very good walk. 

And when it was hot Zita and I were already back in my cool house.

Then I minded fast asleep Craig, when Zita went to the fix your clothes stuff shop.

Craig did not get up so early today.

Because he has a new mystery book to listen to.

So our morning was a nice relax.

And when he was all awake we had a very lovely muffin.

Then Zita was downstairs in her clothes fixing room.

My friend Miss Doctor Andrea found a minder dog. 

It is another Doctor’s best friend.

So it goes on their not in the hospital adventures with them. 

In those mountains. My goodness. That is a good idea.

Because very big bears live there. 

We were going to go on an adventure ride, but we decided that it was still a bit too hot.

So we just had a long afternoon relax. 

But before dinnertime Craig and I played the Tug game. And I won.

Because I pulled the fast chair across the whole living room. Ha. 

Then I had my dinner.

Zita made sandwiches with eggs inside.

Some of Craig’s dropped on the floor. 

So they were mine. It is our own rule. Ha.

Then Zita got that cut your toes off machine, so she could make the grass neat and tidy.

I stayed inside and Craig and got into the comfy bed.

Because when Zita came in it was detective program time for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Eight

Miss Pancake 

​It was a very lovely morning when we got awake.

And we even had a nice little sleep in before our good morning walk.

Then I minded Craig when Zita and Susan and Chris went to their together breakfast.

When Zita got home she talked to everybody in Ireland.

So I had a lovely big relax.

But when I was all fast asleep there was very loud thunder. 

So then I was very awake and went into the living room.

Craig and Zita were there for their another coffee.

And Craig had a cinnamon bun. Cinnamon buns are very tasty.

But you cannot eat too much or you will have a sick tummy. It is known.

Then the loud thunder went somewhere else. Ha.

So I got up on my comfy chair.

So I could watch everything. 

Craig told me that everyone should have their own comfy chair. That is good idea.

Lots of beautiful trees are all on fire, very near where my mother and all her horses live. Oh dear.

So I am a bit worried. 

But lots of soldiers with giant noisy machines are helping everybody. 

But my mother will mind all her horses, until they are all safe as could be. That is her best job. 

Then the thunders came back so I stayed with Zita and then she was not scared. 

I did not mind Craig, because he is not scared of thunderstorm. Because he is old.

Maybe he cannot even hear them. Maybe. Oh well.

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Seven

Miss Pancake 

​My goodness me, when we were all awake as could be, all the rain was gone, and the outside was beautiful.

So we had a lovely long walk, and it was not even a bit too hot for our feet. 

And we came home there were those red birds having a bath. 

Right in our outside bathtub. 

Birds like to be squeaky clean too. 

Then Zita talked to Ireland to see if anyone was all awake. 

But then she remembered that today was neat and tidy the house day.

So I went outside for my lunchtime naps.

The nosy clean floors machine cannot go outside. Ha. 

Then Mister Jorden came here to make Craig’s head all neat and tidy. 

Before dinnertime, fast car brought Niamh to my house, because it was full up with tents and forest things. 

So Zita and Niamh put it all outside so it would get all dry.

Because all the stuff got soggy in the forest. Oh dear.

Then we drove Niamh to the nice brothers restaurant. On our busy street.

And she got so much food that Mister Tyler had to help take it up to their apartment. 

And Zita got a giant salad and got Craig a delicious rollup. 

And when dinnertime was over, it was our time for a brand new detective program. 

In the very comfy together bed. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Six

​Miss Pancake. 

The sunshine did not come here today. It was just sometimes rain.

But Zita and I did not get caught on our walk. Ha.

But Zita when looked on her telephone, it said it was a bit rainy in Niamh’s forest. Oh dear.

When I had my after breakfast nap, Zita went out for some more groceries.

I stayed in the living room, so I could mind my friend Craig. 

And when Zita got back, she had those very delicious apple treats.

Then she went downstairs to fix the door in Niamh’s other bedroom.

Because it would not open even a little bit.

So her computer showed her a movie all about how to fix it. 

And it worked. My goodness me. 

That was a good movie.

Then after Craig made the coffees, we all sat in the living room and ate some of the apple treats.

I was a very big help.

My friend Miss Doctor Andrea sent me a picture.

And she was in her very little far far away hospital.

And the bears did not get her, because she is a very fast runner. That is good.

We had pastas and chicken for dinner. I got a very delicious piece of chicken. 

After dinnertime, I went into the side yard.

Because it was shower time for Craig. 

And I do not like that other chair. It is a bit scary. 

So I just hide outside, until he is all squeaky clean again.

Then I get up on our comfy bed to mind Craig and Zita, so we can watch the detectives program together. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Five

​Miss Pancake 

We had a too hot day today.

So Zita and I went for our walk before the hot found us.

Then when we got home I had my sofa relax and Zita went into our office to do some computer errands.

My friend Craig was up early today and he made coffees for everybody, except me.

After Zita had her coffee we made more delicious croissants.

And we had them for our next coffees. 

Croissants are very crumbly, that is why they are my favourite.

Then Zita did some clothes fixing. 

I minded Craig.

When Niamh came here last night Tarryn and Dina and Erin came too, my goodness.

When Niamh looked at all the pointy things she took two of them and a chopping axe too.

Because she and Tyler and their friends are going to the forest. And to cook and sleep there too.

In a tent, on the ground. My goodness. 

So maybe they have to chop down trees.

Craig said or maybe heads, but that is not true.

Because only Emmet knows all about chopped off heads. Not Craig. It is known. 

My friend Miss Sally was sad today because everyone there forgot all about treat time.

But when she found her special way too sad face, Cousin Ciara remembered.

So Sally is all perfect again. 

When Zita walked to the nice grocery store upon the busy street.

Because we needed some vegetables for our dinner.

When she was home we moved lots of things all around in the den. 

So everything was nearly neat and tidy again.

Craig said he has too much stuff. He is right. 

I went outside for my own before dinnertime nap. 

After dinner we head just enough time to watch our detective program, before I went all asleep. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Four

Miss Pancake 

​I had a nice quiet day.

Because Zita was very busy today.

After our long walk, Zita had breakfast with Miss Maggie.

I stayed here to mind Craig because he was fast asleep.

Then Niamh and Dina and Erin came here to their work in our not a bit hot house.

In the living room. 

With giant papers all over the floor. 

So I minded them too.

Then Zita came home, but only for a little bit.

Because she had to go to Susan’s house for tea.

Then when Craig got up he went into the den, where it was quiet.

And that is where he had his coffee and two croissants. 

I helped him.

But now our croissants are all gone. Ha.

Niamh had to go to that way too much of everything store. 

To get important things. 

Because tomorrow Niamh and Tyler are going to a far away in the woods park.

With some friends from not too far away Toronto.

And they are going to sleep there. Outside. My goodness. 

That is not a very good idea.

They should take our giant Scotsman’s sword. It is very pointy. My goodness. 

Then everybody was gone.

So I only had to mind Craig and Zita. That is an easy job for me.

So I had my before dinnertime nap.

And after dinnertime it was time for the next program with the detective ladies. Ha. 

Then Niamh called us because she needed a pointy knife.

But Craig has so many pointy things we sent here a picture some if of the not way too dangerous ones 

Even a big one from a long long time ago battle. My goodness.

But none of our swords. Or our very sharp spears. Oh well. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Three

Miss Pancake 

​Zita and I had a very lovely relax after breakfast. In our side yard.

And we went on a very long around my own streets walk.

And we went before it was too hot for nice people like us.

When we got home I went into my den, for a comfy sofa relax.

Zita was busy in our office make something for the other bed.

Then we made croissants.

Because it was nearly lunchtime.

And when Craig was all dressed, he made coffees for Zita and himself too.

Then we all went into the living room and had croissants with the coffees,

Craig’s croissant had Grandad’s own made very delicious jam inside. 

The jams trees live in his little outside house. 

But he makes the jams inside the house. 

Because that is where the stove is.

Because you need to cook things before they are jams.

Then you have to put them in bottles. 

But not when they are way too hot, just hot. It is a rule. 

I got some of that jams, and all the crumbs too. 

That was a very good lunchtime for me. 

Because it was from far away jams. 

Far away jams are very delicious.

Niamh’s friend way way up north makes special jams too.

But we ate all of it on our toasts. Oh well. Too bad for us. 

We had giant hamburgers for our dinners. 

I got a very tasty bun bit. 

Then when all our chores were all finished, it was detectives and bed time for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy One

Miss pancake 

​Last night we were so tired everybody had a sleep in this morning. 

When we were fast awake it was even past my breakfast time.

But I did not starve. 

And it was a very very beautiful day outside, so I took Zita for a nice walk.

So we went to the busy street and went to the bank to get my treat.

The I took her down the busy street to the other other beautiful park.

And Niamh was there and so was Miss Erin. My goodness.

So Zita and Miss Erin talked for a long time.

And I went to sleep under the giant tree, on the cool grass.

I had to take her on this walk, because she had not been here for a long time.

And I thought she just might get all lost.

But I got us home as safe as could be.

We went down our favourite giant trees street, where it is always cool. 

When Craig was awake we did not have any peanut butter cookies.

Because we ate them all. 

So he only had another too much coffee. Oh well.

So Zita and the fast car went to do some important errands. 

And to look for tasty good morning treats. 

That was a very good idea. 

I had my afternoon nap outside in my side yard. 

My friends the birds were there too. 

They do not mind if I go to sleep. 

But when got too hot I went into the den and had a sofa relax.

Then Niamh and Dina and Miss Erin were here. 

And I went outside and guarded them. In the sunshine. 

On the swings sofa. 

And when Zita got home everybody sat in the living room, and laughed all the time.

Then we drove the ladies to Dina’s apartment.

Because they are going out tonight. 

And had to find just the very best clothes. 

And when we got home it was dinner time for everybody. 

If we are not too tired again maybe we will watch the lady detectives tonight. 

Or go to fast fast fast asleep. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy

​Miss Pancake 

My goodness me, what a very very busy day I had. 

After Niamh and I went for a nice walk we went to visit Tarryn. In the fast car. 

Then we went to my very favourite store. The one with everything everywhere. Ha. 

And that store likes nice dogs to visit there.

And I went in the up and down room. Ha. 

We found a very beautiful do not get so wet coat. 

And we tried it on.

But it was too small.

But Niamh said we would try again another time. 

And Zita told me that she had a lovely lunch with Emmet. 

At a very nice restaurant in Cork.

And then Emmet had to leave.

Because it was time to tell everybody at the university about all the very important stories.

The ones with the giant cows and Mister Cú Chulainn, lots of very fierce dogs.

Andvtgey are not scared of the up and down rooms either. Ha.

And there were people from all over everywhere who were listening to his story. 

My goodness me. 

Because they are very good stories, especially when Emmet tells them. 

But then it was the time for the aeroplane, so we went there. 

Because Zita’s aeroplane did not get lost at all.

And we found Zita right there, at the airport, and we took her back home.

She was very excited to see me right in the fast car.

I was very happy too.

And we had a nearly our dinner right there in our living room. With Tarryn. 

Then Zita told us all about everything in Ireland. 

And everybody laughed for a very long time. 

My goodness me.

But Zita was still very tired.

Because of all those wrong clocks in Ireland. Oh dear.

And after Niamh borrowed the fast car it was nearly time for our detectives. 

Because now Zita is home we can watch the detectives again.

Because we are not allowed to watch them when she is away. It is our rule. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Nine

Miss Pancake 

​It was an all the time rainy day.

So Niamh and I and Tyler had a sleep in until lunchtime. Ha.

Then we took Tyler back to the apartment, because it was clean the apartment day.

And to have a nice relax on the sofa.

Because he has a sore back. 

And Niamh told him he has to visit his doctor. 

And then Niamh and I went to the things for lovely dogs store .

And we got treats, and a brand new brush for me. 

And when we got home I had a lovely all over brushing. 

And then nice Miss Guaytree came here, so the bedroom is spic and span. 

But we did not go for an afternoon walk.

Because of the bouncy rain. 

So we had a nice quiet relax. 

And watched all the rain.

Then Niamh and I made a very very delicious cake. 

And it was a cake we never even made before.

So was is a band new cake. And it did not work. 

And we had to put it in that garbage can under the sink,

But Niamh said it was not my fault. My goodness me. 

So she had to go and buy a nice cake.

Because after dinner we are going to Lee’s house with Cara to watch a movie.

And you always have to bring treats when you go to your friend’s house. It is our rule.

Craig had more used of the from China food for dinner.

And tasty rollup too. Ha.

Niamh had dinner with Lee and Cara and me too. 

When Niamh and I got home, Craig was already rolled up in the comfy duvet, but he was not fast asleep.

Because he was listening to a new book. 

Craig told me.that tomorrow we are going to make the house all spick and span.

Because tomorrow, one of the do not get lost aeroplanes, is going to bring my Zita home to my house.

And we do not want her to see that sometimes we are a bit messy when she is not here.

Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Eight

Miss Pancake 

​My goodness me.

What a very nice relax I had.

And it was an all day relax.

Niamh and I had a little sleep in. 

Because she did not get home until after everybody’s bedtimes.

But after breakfasts we sat outside, until Tarryn came for her coffees.

Then they went up to the busy street and went shopping.

I stayed here so I could mind Craig.

And have an outside nap. Ha.

And help with the crumbs. 

My friend Miss Doctor Andrea sent me even more from very far away pictures. 

And she found a shop with tasty treats.

So now she will not starve all away. 

But she had to jump over a river to get those treats. 

Maybe because it is too very far away for bridges. Maybe. 

When Niamh got home she and Craig thought maybe that Mister Tyler should come here.

So he would not be too lonely. 

So we decided to find a from far away China restaurant.

So we could have a together diner. 

When you have one of those dinners you get special cookies too.

And delicious rollups too. 

That is why we have those very tasty dinners. 

So Zita and I went right to that restaurant, and I guarded the car when she got the bags of tasty food.

And then we got mister Tyler, so he would not starve all by himself. Ha.

I got the crunchy end of one of the rollups.

Then it was bedtime for us. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Seven

Miss Pancake 

​I did not go to bed until very very late last night.

Because Niamh and Tyler went to the longest movie in the world.

And they took Tarryn and Jamie with them. My goodness.

And it was all about a man and all his friends going home in a boat.

And they got all lost for a very very long time. 

Because one time they had to be sheep. My goodness.

And when the man got home nobody even remembered him a little bit.

Except his own very old dog. Ha.

That is because dogs never ever forget their very best friends. It is known. 

So everybody was very tired this morning.

But we had to go to our important work anyway. Oh well.

And Tyler had to go to his downtown office. 

So we took him there. Ha.

Craig went to bed early last night because he had a nasty headache.

So he went into the bedroom where it was not so too bright. 

And he went to fast asleep. 

Today Zita sent me a scary picture.

It was a way too full up farmer’s truck. My goodness me.

But it did not just fall over and squish everybody. 

Then everybody went to a little restaurant, for some tasty snacks.

And they had some beers too. 

Then they were not so scared. 

Tomorrow everybody is going back to Zita’s parent’s house. In Dublin. 

There are not any dangerous whales in Dublin. 

Just too many cars. 

When we finished all our work, I had a bath.

Because Niamh said I was too dirty to be a lovely beautiful dog like me. Oh well.

Craig and Niamh had cannellonis for their dinner. 

I got some very delicious cheese and liver sprinkles on my dinner.

Then Tyler’s sister put her car in our driveway.

Because she went to the football game, up on the busy street.

Craig watched a bit of it on the big television in the den. 

Before we went to bed. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Six

Miss Pancake 

​I had a very quiet day today.

Because everybody was very busy.

I was very very busy too.

Because Mister Tyler was here.

Because the apartment was way too empty.

Because Niamh was here with me.

So I had to mind him too. My goodness me.

So after breakfast we had a nice together walk, before we all went to our works.

But Niamh was so busy she forgot about my lunchtime.

But Craig remembered. 

Because he always rememberers my dinners.

So after my lunch I helped him with the peanut butter cookies crumbs.

Mister Tyler went to that Mister McDonald’s shop for lunchtime treats, and he got some for Niamh too.

After lunch I was very busy in the office, because we had lots of important people to talk to. 

Our friend Doctor Andrea went to that very very far away hospital. 

And she took her cats. 

On an aeroplane. My goodness me. 

She said her cats are very fierce, and will be her very far away minders.

Maybe she will see Niamh’s friend Mister Nelson and his very friendly dog. Maybe. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Five

​ Miss Pancakes 

When Niamh and I were all awake we did not go for our good morning walk.

Because it was all raining outside.

So we had a very nice relax after our breakfast.

We went to Niamh’s apartment last night. And we had treats.

Because Tyler got a new job right where he already works. Ha. 

When we got home Craig was already in bed, because it was past our bedtimes.

After lunchtime there was no rain outside.

So we went for the longest walk ever. 

And we looked at all the stores on the busy street. Ha

After our walk Miss Guaytree came to neat and tidy the bedroom.

And she brought us own made special long biscuits.

And they were coffees biscuits.

Because you put them in your coffee before you eat them. My goodness. I did not know those biscuits. 

They were very good biscuits because they made lots and lots of crunchy crumbs. Ha. 

Craig’s far away friend Mister Adam got brand new inside parts in the hospital. My goodness.

And now he uses a very lovely wooden stick. To help him walk.

But it is a secret stick.

Because it has a sword right inside. My goodness. 

Maybe I will find a stick like that. Maybe. 

This afternoon I had a very long relax in the office, beside Niamh.

Because I was a bit hot after our long walk. 

Craig and I had sandwiches, after Niamh found Tyler, and they went to the hard questions restaurant. 

Then Craig went into our bedroom.

Because he wanted to make his own drawer neat and tidy. My goodness. 

I had a nap in the den. 

Until Niamh got home and Tyler was with her.

So we all went to fast asleep. 

Day Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Four

Miss Pancake 

​I did not get to my fast asleep until late last night.

Because after our dinner party Niamh and I watched a movie in the den.

But I did not mind.

Because I was on my favourite sofa with Niamh.  Ha.

We only went on a little walk this morning, because it was all the time rain.

And last night there was lots and lots of scary thunder.

But I got up on the new bed so Niamh would not be scared too. Ha.

After breakfast we were very busy in the den with our important work.

And I talked to her friends on her computer. 

When Craig had his coffee we had some more tasty peanut butter cookies.

Then Miss Guaytree came to make everything spicy and span. 

I minded Niamh in our office. 

Our cousin Lucy sent me lots of pictures from Ireland.

And everybody was there, altogether, even Mister Ben. My goodness.

And they took Mister Ben to visit the dangerous ocean. But not too close.

Because of those whales. 

My friend Miss Sally had to stay at her house to mind everything, and Mister Lee too.

Just like I mind Craig. Ha.

And Zita and auntie Eileen took Mister Ben on an adventure ride. All over. 

 And there is an ice cream shop in that little town, and that is where they went.

Even everybody had their too much ice cream, Zita and cousin Ciara and Mister Ben went to have a relax.

In Wexford, with auntie Eileen too. 

And they all went to a lovely restaurant. 

For a tasty dinner.

Vikings used to live in Wexford. 

But not any more. 

Zita said the beers were too expensive, so they all went home. 

Then everybody went to auntie Eileen’s other long little house. 

To go to fast asleep.

Craig and Niamh had that used Indian food for their dinner.

I got some very tasty liver sprinkles on my dinner. 

So we were all full up.

Then Niamh and I went to visit Tyler. So he would not be lonely.

Niamh said nobody could be lonely when I was there. 

My goodness, that is true.

And when we went home Craig was already in bed. Too bad for him.
