Tracy Came to Visit šŸ™‚

 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 šŸ™




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 šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘  Nix ordered me a Union Jack bandana and she just found out it won’t be arriving until after the party is over…phew šŸ˜± 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 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...
