Buckingham Park today…

 I’m feeling a bit annoyed at the moment. Nix and I have been for a walk in the park and when we got home she said I could lay in the garden and she would lay on the bed where she can keep an eye on me. As you know she does tend to doze off and each time she does I quietly make my way down to the border. I think she must sleep with one eye open because she always knows as soon as I get there and I get called in 🙄 After my third attempt she made me come inside for good and now I can only gaze out of the window 😔





Anyway we went to Buckingham Park today. They have planted lots of baby trees there for me to wee up when they get bigger. Les KingEddy Edwards is right and a lot of them look a bit dead. The ones that look dead are all little oak trees so maybe they will come to life next year. When they all grow there will be a proper wood there and it will be nice and shady in the summer. 





Nix has emailed Bron my vet because as you know she didn’t see my abscess last week, another vet did. Ness Keweb’s husband is a vet and he thinks Fripp should have had antibiotics and so did Nix at the time. Although it looks okay and it doesn’t hurt Nix thinks it’s a bit swollen so best to ask Bron. Hopefully the Synulox we’ve got here would be the right antibiotic if I need them and we won’t need another vet’s appointment. 



Nix is going to post a photo of a bit of stick that was stuck in my foot. When she was brushing me she saw it sticking out and she thought it was caught in my fur but it was actually under my skin like a splinter. It measures 3cm long and almost half of it was under my skin…Nix pulled it out because she didn’t realise how much was stuck. It didn’t hurt at all, I’m very brave 😇

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...
