The Adventures of Fripp

 Oh dear what a horrible day. Nix says lots of my friends have got snow which I love but we’ve just had rain all night and all day and it’s very very cold. I was allowed to have the back door open all night last night and guess what. I think the intruder must have come in because there are lots of muddy paw prints on the puppy pad. Obviously when I go outside, I just like to stargaze but I must’ve accidentally walked through some of the mud that the intruder had left. I have a suspicion that Nix thinks that I might be the intruder 🫢 It took us ages to get dry after our morning walk and Nix decided we wouldn’t go to communion as it was too miserable. Guess what though, I got dried with the hair dryer, it was very warm and rather nice.  This afternoon, we just went for a walk to the Rec. It was still raining a bit and very very cold and so we made it a very short walk. I found a new plant that I like eating and Nix had to look it up when we got home. It’s called white dead nettle and gu

 I’m so much better today, everyone can relax, especially Nix 🙂 Thank you for all the lovely messages, they made Nix feel so much better. I think she panicked a bit because when Billy her last Beardie was thirteen he had a nose bleed and for him it wasn’t a good sign and he went to the Bridge the following week.  It was exactly at this time of the year too, Nix just got a notification on her calendar that it will be thirteen years exactly on Wednesday since Billy got sick. Anyway I’m not planning on going anywhere just yet so everyone can relax 🙂 Last night was raining so Nix put a big bath towel by the back door and left it open as usual. I didn’t go out that much but as you know I like to go to sleep in front of the open door. Last night however I slept for a while in the lounge and then when Nix woke up this morning I was asleep in her bedroom. She seemed very pleased about that.  We have just been for a walk in the rain in Buckingham Park. All Nix could think about was her new ru

  Sorry we’re a bit late, I wasn’t very well earlier so Nix let me sleep this afternoon while she popped out. When I say unwell, I wasn’t really unwell but I did have a bit of a nose bleed. I think Nix panicked a bit but that’s because Billy her last Beardie had a nosebleed just before he went to the rainbow bridge. I didn’t really have a nose bleed as such, I sneezed a couple of times and a bit of bloody stuff came out of my nose. It only happened the once and I’m fine now but Nix has been keeping me quiet to be safe…I was asleep anyway 😴 Nix had to pop down to church this afternoon and I slept in my bed the whole time but when she got back I decided I’d quite like to go for an amble. The sun was about to set so we ambled down to the beach and Nix was able to take a couple of photos. Other than that I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for some more. I think it’s going to be raining all day so they’ll be wet ones 🌧️

  I think you should just call Nix Heath Robinson from now on. She has decided that she doesn’t mind the door to the garden being open all night as long as it’s not open too far. She puts a doorstop to stop it closing but if it’s windy it blows wide open. Last night she tied a piece of ribbon not Round The Old Oak Tree but round the door handle and the door stayed exactly where it was all night and we were both very happy. Today we had a breakfast meeting and guess what, there was very posh lemon drizzle cake. I was very well behaved and slept the entire time. Someone commented that I was the best behaved dog they had ever seen 😇 After about two hours though I did wake up and realised there was cake but it was just being cleared away so I was a bit late. Nix gave me a cocktail sausage when we got home to make up for the lack of drizzle cake.  We had a walk down the boardwalk this morning at sunrise and a short walk before the meeting and a short walk afterwards but I am happy to come
