What’s Happened…the Clocks Have Gone Funny

 Did you know, something happened with the human clocks last night. I woke up this morning and needed a wee but the clock said only 5am. Nix said we had an extra hour in bed but that doesn’t suit me at all and I had to kick up a bit of a fuss to get her to let me out in the garden. She said her arm hurts after her booster thingy and she was going to stay in bed a little longer but I’m not having any of that. I don’t have lie ins after I have my bypass flushed and that is much more serious. 




When I went out for my wee the rain was very heavy and the wind nearly blew me over. Once you’re wet though you can’t really get any wetter so I went down by the bins for a little nap. Nix had to put her dressing gown on and make me come in which I did but there was no way Nix was going back to sleep. She gave me some fish she’d saved for me from last night and she said it had my medication in  but I think it was drugged because I fell asleep after I’d eaten it. When I woke up I was nice and dry but the rain and wind outside was much worse. Nix said we had to go out so we got dressed up in our rain gear and off we went. I would have gone much further but Nix said enough was enough whatever that means. The Velcro she sewed on my coat did the trick too and it didn’t keep blowing off.




Did you know I had to stay on my own last night when Nix went for her booster thingy. She told me she wouldn’t be long but she was gone for quite a long time. Apparently there was a long queue when she got there and then they made her sit for 15 minutes afterwards in case she went weird…well more weird than normal 😇 Poor Sally who gave her a lift got quite worried sitting in the car outside. She thought Nix must have had a bad reaction she was gone for so long.  Nix did actually have quite a few ‘reactions’ in the 15 minutes she was sitting there but thankfully they were all in her head 🤣






The rain stopped this afternoon and the sun came out and we’ve been up the beach to the Pollinator café for hot chocolate. Now we’re home and Nix has been moving the spare room furniture around and now she’s exhausted. She says no more walks until after Strictly because we have to close the blinds and pretend we’re not in because she hates Halloween. Also I have to have my thundershirt on because there will probably be fireworks 😕

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 hos...

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 ...

Apparently I’m Always in the Way

Image
So Nix doesn’t understand why I am always behind her, she said it’s starting to annoy her apart from being very dangerous. She says if she falls over me and breaks her hip who’s going to look after me. Have you seen her hips, it’d take a sledgehammer to break one of those. Anyway she keeps saying there’s only one way out of the bungalow so I don’t need to follow her around everywhere. That’s not strictly true because there are doors at the back and a door at the side. She could escape without me through any of those...I must be vigilant at all times. So now she has settled down to finish getting my blog into print and it really is painful to watch. She says it takes twelve taps on the iPad to add one photograph on one day of the blog. She also says if there are thirty days in the month that will take her 360 taps. She’s got six months left to do... I shouldn’t hold your breath for this blog if I was you.  There will of course be a quicker way to do it which she will discover next y...
