Been to the Vets Todat to Get My Platelets Checked šŸ™‚

 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 šŸ˜• 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 šŸ¤£ 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 šŸ˜•



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 šŸ™‚

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...
