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 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
