Back to the Vets to Get My Dew Claws Clipped, That Wasn’t Very Enjoyable 😔

 Well another very busy day. First of all a couple of photos from the newcomers’ tea yesterday. Unfortunately my tail picked up quite a lot ot thingies from the vicarage garden and I dragged most of them into the church on my tail. Nix swept up afterwards so that’s okay, she needs to do that a bit more often here at home. It took her forever to get them out of my tail, much longer than it should have but I’m looking smart again now.




This morning we had to go and pick up my antibiotics from the vet and Nix had arranged for me to have my dew claws cut with the nurse as she forgot to ask Bron to do them last week. She’s going to be Nurse Nasty from now on because she really hurt me and made my claw bleed. It spoiled our planned walk to the puppy park afterwards as Nix didn’t want me to get it too dirty. She’s promised that we can go back next week. Nix was very upset because I bared my teeth at the vet nurse when she tried to stop it bleeding. I’ve never done that in my life to anyone, not even the BCJ. The nurse tried to give me a treat but I refused it. Bron heard what had happened and she called to make sure I was okay. Nix said it was more scary because of my platelet situation. It was my idea to caption the photo in blood red letters for effect 🤣



This afternoon I have been to Buckingham Park because Nix drove a lady from church to her appointment at the hospital and we were able to go for a walk in the park while we waited for her. We had lemon drizzle cake 🙂

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
