Been to the Vets Todat to Get My Platelets Checked 🙂

 So been to see Bron this morning to have my blood taken to check my platelets and we should get the results back on Thursday. Unfortunately I have lost some more weight but Bron isn’t worried because she thinks it’s just muscle loss. I’ve gone from 19.1kg three weeks ago to 18.40kg. I have been this low before so I shall try and eat a bit more. 



All the ants have gone and Nix is feeling really bad about murdering them. She’s going round looking for any that might have survived and wondering if they suffered at all. I think one of them bit me on my bottom because it made me jump and throw myself at the door to get out…I’m glad they’ve gone. 



I stayed on my own when we got back from the vet because Nix had to go to the chemist and collect some more eye drops. This is because she misses her eye most times and so she’s used them all up. She was gone for ages because the computer in the chemist wasn’t working and although they had the drops they weren’t allowed to give them to Nix unless they could print out a label….it’s the law apparently. 



Nix explained she had to have them as the uses them four times a day and the chemist said there was nothing she could do…that’s really bad isn’t it 😕 Nix said she was tempted to grab the eye drops and run but decided against that mainly because she can’t actually run without falling over. She asked if she could put a drop in her eye there and then come back and collect them later. They said yes but then of course she needed a mirror to see what she was doing. The first one they got wasn’t magnifying so Nix couldn’t see anything in it. They brought her a magnifying one and then she had to get the chemist to hold it because she’s used to using both hands to put the drops in…she needs one to hold the eye open for some reason 🤣 They’ve said they’ll call when their computer is working and Nix can go and collect them. I’m not amused because I shall have to stay on my own again 😕



There aren’t many photos because Nix forgot to take one with Bron at the vets but I did get one taken with the paw print outside. I also had my photo taken with the grass verge to show you how long it is. This month we have a no mow May month where house owners are encouraged not to mow their lawns so the bees can help themselves to the flowers. The verges here are very long, I think the bees will like it 🙂

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
