Been to the Puppy Park…




 It’s like a summers day today, the sun is out and it’s lovely and warm. All was going really well until we went over to the vets to collect my medication. This is always stressful for Nix because every single times she orders it they say they will text her when it’s in.  No text arrives after three days so she calls again. This time they ask her if she wants a prescription or the medication. Nix says she ordered the medication so they say okay they’ll have to change the request from prescription to medication. Nix says she never ordered a prescription in the first place and she was really hoping  to pick the meds up today  and they say that’s fine, they’re waiting for her! We get there and Nix can’t go in now because of the virus thingy so she has to call from the car. She calls to say we’re outside and can we collect Fripp’s medication. The girl asks if that’s a prescription or the actual meds. At this point I really did think Nix was going to explode 🤣 Suffice it to say I kept her very calm by being a very good boy in the back and we’ve got my meds and all is well. 




 Because we were so close to the ‘puppy park’ we went there for a treat. There are always lots of dogs to meet and I always have a very good time. The puppy park is a special place where they grow lilac trees and they collect them for the whole country. Because the rabbits used to get in and do lots of damage the whole area was fenced off and now everyone takes their naughty ‘no recall’ dogs there. When I first went to live with Nix she took me there. I had this really long line on and all of a sudden all the dogs started running to the bottom of the park. I went with them of course and we all ran round the bushes at the bottom. All the other dogs ran back up again but something caught my attention behind the bush. I was only there for a minute or two but Nix was really cross, she doesn’t like me going out of sight as you know. She says that day traumatised her and that’s why she’s so neurotic now about me goimg out of sight. I think she’s just neurotic generally but what can you do 🙄





We’re home now and I’ve had three meals already…I am off for a sleep in the garden. I think Nix might attempt the trifle while I sleep as she says I put her off staring last time she attempted one. I’m thinking ‘workman’ and ‘tools’ myself 😇

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...
