The Day Started off Really Well I Thought…



 The day started off really well I thought. It was very windy but even so we battled up the beach to the café. There was a new dog there, a brown curly one but not you know who. He was asking for trouble though, talk about pushy, I thought I might have to sort him out. 



Everything seemed to go downhill once we got home. First of all Nix noticed that she’d been charged £25 for a prescription for my Propalin which is twice what she paid last time. She said she may as well have bought it direct from the vet but as she can’t drive that far til her other eye is done she will have to do it this way. 





After that she phoned the house insurance company to see if the summerhouse was covered for the tiles blowing off the roof. She was thrilled to be told that yes she was covered. Not so thrilled to find out the excess was £200! Thing is it probably would be cheaper to get it done locally but we don’t really know anyone and all the ‘recommended’ people we’ve used in the past have been fairly useless. At least this way we’ll get a proper job done rather than a patch up.  



As she was finishing her conversation with the insurance company our neighbour came round with a bag full of the roof tiles which had all landed in her garden. Nix finished her telephone conversation and turned round to take the tiles out to the garden but unfortunately she didn’t see her boots that she’d just taken off and tripped over them. She landed against the coffee table which went flying across the lounge and has hurt her arm and leg. Don’t worry she’s okay, nothing broken but can I just say, there was a lot of dust under that table 😱

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...
