Ten Years Ago Today, Nix Saw Me For the First Time 🥰

 



Ten years ago today Nix received a message from Liz Jay telling her about moi. I was born in France and so the request was in French. Nix used her schoolgirl French to translate and even though she was useless she could see I was looking for a home…she typically didn’t of course see the ‘translate’ button at the bottom 🙄 She says she fell in love with me as soon as she saw me…naturellement 🙄 Apparently I looked just like BIlly her previous Beardie who had gone to the Bridge a couple of months earlier. She got in touch with my breeder and said if I was in the UK she would take me in a heartbeat. My breeder said she was going to the UK in a few weeks for Crufts and she could  bring me over.  Nix agreed and the rest is history 👏👏👏 I did of course try to kill the cat on the first night and Nix has always said if I hadn’t come all the way from France she’d have sent me straight back again 🤣


Sadly Fakir and Fred my brothers went to the bridge far too early and I am very sad about that and sad for Christine and Iain their humans. Nix tells me I’ve been close a couple of times and I’m lucky to still be here. She says however long we are here on earth us Beardies are always a joy. 




We haven’t done much today, a wander down the beach at low tide, a quick look at the Artisans’ market and a spot of squirrel watching in the churchyard plus investigation of an old tree trunk. 




We are home now and I am resting mainly whilst keeping an eye on the blog 🙄

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...

You will be able to see them on Facebook only, either on my own page which is public (Nix Cuthell) or on The Adventures of Fripp also on Facebook. Thank you all for staying strong for me 🙏

It’s My Birthday Tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 We’ve not done a lot today. Nix has been dozing off at various times and to be honest, I’ve been asleep too. It’s quite nice actually not having anything to do. Nix has been working on the church log book so there was lots of tutting, mainly because she couldn’t remember where she’d put anything. Just in case you were wondering, the log book is an account of everything that is added to the church or taken away or repaired. Eventually Nix will fill in the actual document with special ink that doesn’t fade so it will be there for future generations to read.  We did go to the Rec this afternoon as I did need a little walk but we didn’t stay too long, it was very cold. It was also very muddy but not to worry, most of it will fall off tomorrow in time for my birthday 🙂 Speaking of my birthday, I have received quite a lot of presents and cards which is very exciting. At the moment we are waiting for my birthday cake to be delivered, it’s a vanilla sponge with raspberry cream. I sh...
