It’s Too Slippy…

 Nix’s new water bottle seemed to do the job last night. She said it kept the water nice and cool and there were no spillages thank goodness. She managed to take her medication with it this morning so all is well and she will no longer be able to complain about Sainsburys bringing the wrong sort of bottles 🙂 





This morning was icy everywhere and Nix definitely didn’t want to get out of bed. This was self preservation I guess as she can fall over even when it’s not slippy. There is only so long a Beardie can wait for their morning walk though and Nix just wasn’t getting it. In the end I had to resort to grabbing the ‘out of bounds’ Beardie toy as I knew that would get her attention. Initially it didn’t work but I moved on to the constant barking whilst holding the toy in my mouth and that seemed to do the trick 😇 I was going to wear my new fleece but actually it wasn’t very cold at all. 



We went down to the sea because the boardwalk was too slippy and I was allowed off my lead so that was very good. After Nix had picked my poo up she couldn’t find one of her gloves. They were these great big sheepskin jobbies so not difficult to see. She looked everywhere and just couldn’t work out where it was until she went to get her phone out of her pocket when it fell on the floor. It had been under her arm the whole time. This made Nix laugh a lot and it reminded her of when her dad was always looking for his glasses and they were always on his head. 



This afternoon we went to Southwick Hill but we decided to go through the woods instead of going up the hill as it was a bit muddy. We’re home already and it’s only 1pm so I shall be expecting two more walks today.




I heard Nix arranging a lift next Sunday evening which can only mean one thing, I shall be left at home. She says she will only be gone for an hour so I shall be very brave and stay on my own 😇

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...
