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 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
