Tracy Came to Visit 🙂

 I hear a few of you were concerned about Nix’s health situation, well she’s fine today. Let’s not all get carried away, it was just a vaccination. I think she enjoyed all the sympathy which should be kept for moi because I have more serious health problems. Nix says I am a bit of a disaster area health wise and I think that is a good thing. Apparently if my platelets don’t start heading north we might be in a bit of a pickle. Last time this happened to me I had to go on a very high dose of the steroid thingies. It made me very tired and my hair fell out. I also wee’d in places I shouldn’t but that really was not my fault. So… the problem seems to be that I don’t think I can have the steroids again because I have an infection too which is always in my bypass. It’s why I have to go on the antibiotics regularly. Maybe I can have both, Nix should find out but I think she’s too scared to ask. When I go for my next check up one week tomorrow she is going to ask then. Maybe my platelets will have gone up then she won’t need to ask 🙏




This morning after we’d been to the beach, Tracy came to visit which was very nice for Nix but a bit boring for me. I did pose for some photos of me having a cuddle on Nix’s lap, my favourite place. I heard Nix telling Tracy that we are having a street party for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and I can go too…there will be lemon drizzle 👏👏👏  Nix ordered me a Union Jack bandana and she just found out it won’t be arriving until after the party is over…phew 😱 When Nix was seven in 1952 it was the Queen’s Coronation and Nix’s mum had two red, white and blue rosettes made for Nix, one for her head and one for her front. She won the fancy dress competition and got to walk in the parade. I think Nix is trying to relive that with me, can someone tell her I am a dog not a child.




Southwick hill this afternoon, had a bit longer walk than normal because Nix went the wrong way 🤭

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
