New Park Today in Worthing…



 We headed west down the beach this morning and the BCJ has only ever been spotted once down there so I was allowed my freedom. I ran all the way along the boardwalk and ‘did the poopies’ into a sea kale. By the time Nix caught up it had long since ‘disappeared’ under the leaves and try as she might she could not find it. That’s probably because I didn’t actually do it there,  it was one of my faux poos 😇 One of the other dog walkers had to tell her I was actually doing it over by the beach huts. The boardwalk finishes there so Nix wasn’t happy having to ‘gallop’ over the pebbles so she could spot exactly where it was. All ablutions finished we continues to head west along the beach. There were no dogs down there, Nix said this is because most sensible dog owners with dogs who actually behave themselves choose to go east and use the boardwalk. Nix is not an owner with a well behaved dog so west it was. No cafes down there though, I didn’t mind but Nix missed her cup of tea. 






I had a good sleep when we got back as the Sainsbury’s van was due to arrive with extra turkey mince so Nix can top the freezer up. I’m eating so well at the moment that Nix didn’t buy quite enough last week. I did pick her up on this but apparently she’s not a mind reader 🙂



This afternoon we decided to find somewhere new to visit as we were both a bit bored. Nix found quite a large park on the map which was right behind Worthing hospital. I really liked it there, there were loads of squirrels to chase and there were also lots of dogs to make friends with. I apparently got a bit too friendly with one of them so I was given my first verbal warning…for that park 😇



Nix was telling anyone who would listen that I had put her in that hospital which isn’t entirely true and definitely was not my fault. It was years ago and we were walking home and two dogs on the other side of the road had a go at me. I lunged and Nix being Nix fell flat on her face and broke her glasses. The owner of the dogs insisted on escorting Nix home and also insisted on calling an ambulance because she’d banged her head. The ambulance finally arrived and they took Nix’s blood pressure which was very high. This had nothing to do with her falling over, more to do with the fact she doesn’t like doctors. They said they could wait half hour to see if it went down but if not they had to take her to hospital. It didn’t go down so off they went in the ambulance and she was escorted into some kind of cubicle.  Everyone was very nice and brought her tea and sandwiches while she waited for the doctor. She was almost asleep when the doctor finally came round and of course her blood pressure was normal. All a fuss about nothing if you ask me though I dare say Nix will be digging a photo of her injuries out. 



I’m looking forward to Thursday as we’re meeting Indie our neighbour for a walk 🙂

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...
