We Went to the Fair Today…

 There might have been a bit of a humping incident last night in our street. We bumped into one of our neighbours who is very nice and she was walking her greyhound. Now as you know I really like greyhounds, I mean really really like them and they make me go a bit mad and I start jumping around and whimpering and my tail wags a lot which doesn’t happen that often. Nix, spoilsport that she is wouldn’t let me get too close but I was so excited that l managed to swerve and launch myself at the owner. Nix dragged me off quite quickly and I think our neighbour just thought I was jumping up to say hello and I’m not quite sure what I was doing. Whatever it was I think I got away with it 😇




This morning we went to low tide on the beach. Nix said the water was very warm so when we got home she went back down to have a dip. She only flaps around on that board thingie but it still uses lots of muscles she doesn’t normally use so there has been much groaning every time she has to reach for something. What with that and the bruised knees, it’s like a casualty ward 🙄



This afternoon we decided to visit Worthing because they have a fair and we do love a fair. It looked like a proper seaside town with candy floss and ice cream. I was expecting Nix to get us an ice cream but she didn’t 😕 I was a bit disappointed but I did get some of her sandwich when we got home. We also had a look round some old cars and there was one there that was the same as Nix’s first car, an old Austin like the one she learned to drive in. 






Nix has a good job now that we are home. She bought me a load of frozen chicken wings last week but I’ve decided I don’t like them anymore so she has cooked them and now she has to pull all the meat off for me. She said she’s going to wear sunglasses and a clothes leg on her nose.

 




There better not be more pictures of cars than there are of me 🙂

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
