Bit of a Boring Day so Far

 


Bit of a boring day so far. Nix had a Zoom thingie at 8am so I only got a quick march down the beach while it was still dark and I had to stay on my lead because she couldn’t see if the brown jobby was around. Disappointingly he wasn’t but my time will come. 




I managed to get her out again after the Zoom but only to do our normal beach walk. Must admit I was hoping for something a bit more ambitious. Never mind my turkey mince is being cooked as we speak and the sun’s come out so in a minute I shall commence the ‘stare’ and I can guarantee she will give in very quickly. 



There are still lots of lorries on the beach moving my pebbles around. Nix thinks it’s hilarious that the houses on the beach in Lancing have notices on their walls to say the bit of beach in front of their house is private. Well they don’t have any beach any longer since the very high tides so the pebbles from our beach will be shipped over to build them a new one. I’m thinking that will be my beach now and there’s nothing they can do about it. Having said that I’ve always treated it as my beach anyway. 




Nix called me a drama queen last night and all because I was traumatised by a bang that she couldn’t hear. She was trying to get me to go back to asleep but I felt it my civic duty to listen for another one. I waited a long time and was being really annoying apparently but had to give up in the end and go to sleep. Did I tell you that when I have a poo I can swing one of my back legs backwards and forwards. Nix says if there was a Strictly for dogs I could be on it.

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
