Devil’s Dyke Today, Lots of People and Some Cows 🐄🐄🐄

 


We’ve had a lovely day so far and we’ve met lots of people, lots of dogs, some cows and a horse. The horse belongs to Jane Owen and we bumped into her and her Beardie Wilfred on our way to the beach. It’s a very low tide at the moment and there’s lots of sand so the horses can have a canter.



I managed to get Nix out before noon for our next walk. It’s not my fault I was ‘over excited’ she shouldn’t have mentioned Devil’s Dyke because I love it there. We walked quite a long way and we got to this gate and a very nice lady on a bicycle asked if it was okay to open it for Moi. Nix thanked her for being so thoughtful and we charged through…well I charged, Nix not so much. We were just about to set off on the next part of our journey when Nix turned round to see me staring at a big bunch of cows. I know it’s my job but I would never try to herd them but Nix said they didn’t know that and she didn’t like the way they were looking at us. Nix can move pretty quickly when she needs to and we were back through that gate as fast as you could say “Cows don’t like people with dogs!”🤣







We’re home now and Nix is planning a trip to the beach sans moi so I’m guarding the exit. She’ll still go of course but I like the chance to make her feel really bad about it and perfect my ‘separation anxiety’ expression.

It’s My Birthday Tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 We’ve not done a lot today. Nix has been dozing off at various times and to be honest, I’ve been asleep too. It’s quite nice actually not having anything to do. Nix has been working on the church log book so there was lots of tutting, mainly because she couldn’t remember where she’d put anything. Just in case you were wondering, the log book is an account of everything that is added to the church or taken away or repaired. Eventually Nix will fill in the actual document with special ink that doesn’t fade so it will be there for future generations to read.  We did go to the Rec this afternoon as I did need a little walk but we didn’t stay too long, it was very cold. It was also very muddy but not to worry, most of it will fall off tomorrow in time for my birthday 🙂 Speaking of my birthday, I have received quite a lot of presents and cards which is very exciting. At the moment we are waiting for my birthday cake to be delivered, it’s a vanilla sponge with raspberry cream. I sh...

RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 😪

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...
