My Blood Tests Were Perfect

 So I got my blood results back very quickly and they are amazing. My kidney values are completely in range again, a proper miracle Nix says and even the SDMA which is the early warner for kidney disease was only raised a bit. It was much higher a few years ago when I was first diagnosed. I had my platelets counted too because when I had my autoimmune disease I only had 9 left and this time I had 256!  We have to wait another few days for my urine results and then a bit longer for the culture to grow. If I have too many bad bacteria I shall have to go back on the antibiotics for a bit.  


Today was a good day, the sun has been shining and I’ve been to the Hill one of my favourite places. There were lots of dogs to make friends with but the best one was this really big dog. He wanted to play with me but I don’t do playing... never have but I let him run round me in circles. We nearly didn’t get to the Hill because Nix got a letter through the door this morning to say our road would be closed for four days and she didn’t think we could move the car. We were just about to set off so Nix took her big boots off as she thought we should have to walk on the beach. We got outside and our road wasn’t closed off properly so back inside we went so Nix could put her big boots on for the mud. Thing is when we got to the Hill, there wasn’t any mud 🤣




I only went missing the once on the hill and that was more to do with Nix’s eyesight than my behaviour. She says I’m a dog of two halves. In the house I’m always under her feet so she turns round and I’m right there. She says one of these days she’s going to fall over me but to be honest she doesn’t need my help, she is quite capable of falling over her own feet.

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
