Busy Busy Day…for Nix

 


Nix has been very busy today I hardly know where to start but I’ll probably start by having a little rest as I’m exhausted just watching her!



It all started after our morning walk. As soon as she’d had her breakfast out came the stepladders and the tin of paint and she was off. She hadn’t got very far before she decided that this was going to be very boring but she was determined to continue. I’m quite impressed really as she’s got one of the walls done already and I think it looks very nice. It still has to have a second coat and when the windows are painted white I think it will be very smart indeed and I shall very much like to nap in there. I am unsure of Nix on the step ladders but she tells me she only needs one hand to paint and she has the other one to hold on to the roof 🙏




Just before we set out for the woods at Southwick Hill guess what arrived...my footstool to help me on the bed. Unfortunately it came in pieces which Nix said ruined our walk because all she could think about was would she be able to put it together and if she couldn’t, who should she ask to help. Be warned all of you that live within striking distance of Shoreham, you’re on her list 🤣



We got back from our walk and Nix started immediately on the footstool and was trying to work out what went where when the phone rang. Guess who it was, it was the hospital to ask her if she’d like to come and get her other eye done next week. This would appear to be very exciting indeed but does take quite a bit of organising because I can’t stay on my own for five hours. Hopefully Jackie next door will sit with me but she is busy in the afternoon. They didn’t tell Nix what time she’s going but she thinks it will be early in the morning again in which case all will be well 🙂



Miraculously the footstool is finished and Nix is having a little rest on the bed with me before she starts on the summerhouse again.

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

 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
