The German Shepherd Incident

 Nix has decided that cyclists with flashing lights are her pet hate now. “How can they see where they’re going in the dark, well they can’t can they, they’re just warning everyone to get out of their way.” It really annoys her and she says she hates them even more when they’re wearing Lycra whatever that it. She definitely needs to get out more.



We’ve been up Southwick Hill today which is as you know one of my favourite places. Nix is definitely getting a bit slow these days, she’s always so far behind. As I was leading the way I managed to wangle the extra bit of the hill including the woods and the muddy puddles, great for a quick drink. It’s pretty lethal up there (for some) very muddy and lots of bramble hoops. Headline news...Nix managed to stay on her feet.

There was a big German Shepherd who was a bit full of himself. He tried to mount me lots of times but I was too fast for him. I felt that after the frequent attempts to mount me, it was only fair that I mount the first available black Labrador. Lots of shouting at me, apparently the poor thing was really old and arthritic. Well I’m not a mind reader...I still had to go on my lead.

    Oh dear Fripp you do have a few incidents. Dudley has real hate relationship with a Scottie. They both can’t stand each other!

Everything You Wanted to Know About Fripp

Image
My name is Fripp aka The Fripster, I am a Bearded Collie and I came to live with Nix when I was two years old.  I spent the first two years of my life living in Monaco but my owners couldn’t keep me because they were working long hours. Even though Nix lives in the UK she saw me and wanted me, naturally, and so my breeder brought me to the UK when she was visiting Crufts. Nix says she had no idea what she was letting herself in for and if I hadn’t come all the way from France she’d have sent me straight back the next day. She said I was completely untrained, tried to kill the cat and had separation anxiety so bad I would knock her over rather than let her get to the front door. None of this is true of course.  Nix and I have lived in perfect harmony for the last eight years even though she might say different. I got very sick when I was seven with an autoimmune disease called IMTP but I recovered from that even though I was bald for a while. Then a year later I ended up in hospital wit

Too Much Noisy Rain

Image
 Last night it started to rain, a lot, and as you know I do not like it when it rains, it scares me. I don’t mind it when I’m out on my walk as you can see from my photos but I don’t like it when I’m inside. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to get off the bed and start digging. Nix was very understanding for once but she does try to get me back on the bed. In the end I gave up and got on the bed and was just drifting off when there was this really loud scary noise. Nix said it sounded like a very loud demented dalek whatever that is...it was very scary and made me and Nix really jump. Turned out to be something to do with her phone and the battery going...is it too much to ask that she keep a check on these things, nearly gave me a heart attack.  It hasn’t stopped raining all day so there are only photos of me wet. I didn’t stay wet for long, I blotted myself off on the sofa first and then Nix’s bed. She thought there were towels on it but I’d dug them all up. The best news today is

Big Boats and Little Dogs

Image
 There was a very big boat making a lot of noise when we got to the beach this morning. Nix thought that it was very interesting, me not so much. I suppose it shows just how boring Nix’s life really is.  We went down the river this afternoon. You know how Nix has always been scared of going over the bridge over the busy road. Well now she’s decided she doesn’t like going under the busy road either. I think the lockdown thingy has finally done it’s worst. She says it’s worse coming back because she can see it in the distance and knows she’s got to go under it eventually. I like it under there, it’s really noisy and you can hear the lorries above you racing along.  I like to think I took her mind off going under the bridge by perfecting another one of my annoying habits. I like to walk right behind her and when she looks over her right shoulder to make sure I’m still there I overtake her on the left. She thinks I’ve gone AWOL and starts panicking and calling me but I’m behind her all the
