It’s Finally Stopped Raining and We’ve Been to Hove 🙂

 It’s stopped raining 👏👏👏 



We had a very long walk this morning after a very good night’s sleep mainly due to the fact that Nix didn’t wake me up coughing. I think Nix thought because we were out later we would be going out later this afternoon…that would be a no! She tried to ignore me, the staring wasn’t working and she said she was watching a Christmas film. She also said we weren’t due to go out for at least another hour. Nope…not true, we always go out at the same time and it makes absolutely no difference that we’d only been home for an hour. It was hard work I can tell you but in the end I had to bring out the big guns…my Meerkat. He helped me achieve success as she said she couldn’t bear to see him mutilated any more and if I put him down we could go out…result 😇




We decided to go to Hove. As you know Nix has been trying to get her fairy lights which the Post Office had lost. Anyway they eventually turned up back at our old address even though they should have been delivered to the Post Office for us to collect. The woman who lives in our old house messaged Nix to say she had them and she could leave them on the doorstep as she was isolating. This was Christmas Eve so Nix assumed she would still be isolating today. We messaged her to say we could collect the lights today but no response. We decided to go to Hove anyway in the hope she would be in but Nix got a message while we were travelling to say she was going to be out with her family all day! 




We decided to walk down to the seafront anyway so I could jump up on my wall for old times’ sake. I have to say it was very windy indeed and I nearly got blown off.  On the way back we were going to have sausages in the Beach Café but when we got there Nix realised she didn’t have her mask with her. I could have gone in on my own for my sausage, I’ve done it before but I suppose I did get told off…and chucked out without a sausage. Nix says we can have fish and chips tonight 😇




When we are in Hove seafront I also like to spend some time on Felix’s bench. He was a little boy who lived in Hove and he was very sick… sadly he died when he was only six years old 😪

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
