I’ve Done a Lot of Sleeping Today 🙂

 


I have three beds as you know and I have slept in all of them today. I’ve also slept on Nix‘s bed with the help of my new footstool and I’ve also slept on the bed in the spare room. As you can tell there’s been a lot of sleeping going on today on my part and not a lot of walking which frankly isn’t really good enough.



This morning we had a quick walk on the Rec as we had to pick Nix’s friend Lizzie up from the station. We bumped into my friend Gracie who comes to meditation and Nix wanted to get a photo of us together. She kept calling me and trying to get my attention but I had a feeling there was something quite interesting in the undergrowth. I had my head stuck in there for ages trying to ignore Nix calling me and suddenly I found it, a broken ball. I’m not really interested in balls but I do like broken balls. In the end Nix took the photo of Gracie and Jane and a random photo bombing Cockerpoo 🙂 Then we stopped off to pick up some lunch for Nix and Lizzie and Nix decided to go mad and treated herself to breakfast. 





The saga of the Summerhouse continues and it’s all getting just a bit boring now. As you know we had two trips to B&Q yesterday to look for the right colour of white paint for the windows and the doors. She chose Ammonite, brought it home and now she’s decided she doesn’t like it. She’s decided she does like the purple colour that’s already on there and so that’s the colour the windows and the doors are going to be. We now have to go back to B&Q to take back the paint that we don’t like and bring back the new paint and then hopefully that will be the last time that I ever have to go there. I think the purple will look nice on the doors and windows and it will still remind us of Jill and Violet 💜



Tomorrow we have meditation and croissants in the morning and then we’re off to the vets so I can get my platelets checked. I actually ran across the Rec this morning so Nix says there can’t be a lot wrong with me. I don’t want to go back on the steroids because they made me very tired last time and I was much younger then. They also made me wee a lot, usually at inappropriate times and it took almost a year before I was finally weaned off them. I have a feeling I’m probably going to be alright 🙂

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
