Lemon Drizzle at Trish and Geoff’s

 We went out at 6am for our first walk this morning. This was Nix’s fault because she woke me up with her coughing. She said she was dreaming that she was in a really important meeting and she got a tickly throat and couldn’t stop coughing. Then she woke up and realised she did have a really tickly throat and really was coughing. As you know I do not like it when she coughs especially if it wakes me up. It does not scare me as Nix tries to make out, it’s just annoying. Anyway once I was awake I wanted to go to the toilet so Nix let me out in the garden and went back to bed. I found my way into the undergrowth and had a good old dig. That was funny because Nix couldn’t shout at me at that time in the morning and she couldn’t come out because she’d put her dressing gown in the wash so she tried hissing at me. I did come in finally but then I went into the shower and started to dig up her expensive slip proof shower tray. Honestly she’s got quite a sharp tongue on her when she wants. Anyway in the end she felt it was better just to take me out so I got a lovely early walk to do my poopies in the churchyard 🙂



A bit later on we were invited to Trish and Geoff’s house for tea and lemon drizzle cake. They have a dog called Bess and I really liked her but I pretended I didn’t because she’s a bit bossy and told me off when I got too close to Trish. I know she didn’t mean it but I thought I’d play hard to get this time and went to sleep instead…I think I won her over 🙂 Sheila and Edgar were there too and everyone was very nice to me, I enjoyed myself. Nix embarrassed herself by choking on the lemon drizzle cake. She went to breathe in and nothing happened, she said it was quite scary, I thought it was quite funny 🤣

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
