Only One More Sleep 👏👏👏



 It’s Christmas Eve so only one more sleep until I get all my presents, well the ones I haven’t accidentally opened already 🤣 Nix and I would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and hope that the new year to come will bring you everything you need. Did you know I shall be twelve next year. When I was 7 a rather horrible ‘specialist’ vet told Nix I would probably only be around for 2-3 more years...how wrong was she. At the time humans were tipping buckets of ice over their own heads, very strange behaviour but all in a good cause I understand. Nix promised that when I make it to 14 she is going to tip a bucket of iced water over that vet’s head…that will be funny 🤣




We’ve been back to Hove today to collect Nix’s parcel. This was not a good experience and there has been a lot of arrggghhhs! We must not forget of course that this is all Nix‘s own fault. If she had concentrated when she ordered then she would’ve noticed that they had our old address. Nix got a text this morning to say it was finally waiting at the post office in Hove but when we got there it wasn’t there.




We then drove up to the sorting office and after about ten minutes he asked Nix to read out the tracking number. Nix’s glasses had steamed up because of the mask so that wasn’t easy. He then told us it was still there but when he went to find it he said it wasn’t there any longer and had gone to the post office. Nix explained that she’d already been to the post office and do you know what he said to her? He said, “ Well I can’t help you then darling!” I think I’m rather glad that I had been left in the car because I should imagine what followed was not for delicate ears like mine. We did go to Hove Park, I made a run for the cafe where there were sausage sandwiches aplenty. I very nearly got one and would have if the child had stopped screaming. Anyway I had a lovely walk and now we’re home again minus the parcel.



Yesterday morning they found an abandoned inflatable boat on our beach. There were over thirty life jackets and some clothes left behind. Nix told me that the people on board had come from my homeland of France. We think they must have landed safely and left all their stuff in the boat. We are praying that they are safe and will be able to find a safe home here.

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
