Still no Petrol and now it’s Raining 🙄

 


So still no petrol and still raining but guess what, the new front door does not leak 👏👏👏 All this rain and lack of petrol does not make for the most exciting day of my life. On top of that we had to wait in for the man to come and take the toilet away so we can have lots of shelves and one is especially for moi.  Nix says she will put my name on it and I can have all my coats on there and my leads and harnesses when I’m not using them and my towels of course for when I’m wet which is most days. Tomorrow another man comes to put up the shelves and I hope he doesn’t take too long because the sun will be out and we can go for a nice long walk. 



Today we went down the beach very early to be back in time for the plumber man…he came at 1pm! After he left we went for a walk down by he houseboats and over to the rec so I did get some time off lead when we got there. I don’t think Nix likes the on lead walks because she’s a slower walker than moi and quite frankly she’s a bit of a dawdler. I saw a cat down by the houseboats, I really wanted to pretend to chase it but there was a bit of a drop and knowing how clumsy Nix is, she’d definitely have ended up down at the bottom. 






I got burrs stuck in my freshly shampooed tail and they were not easy to get out. Don’t let Nix know that I’m telling you this but she didn’t even notice they were there. So much for telling that vet that she checks after every walk…that was a fib. Anyway if she hadn’t come in and taken a photo of me sleeping she still wouldn’t know they were there…that’s shocking 😱

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
