Bit of an Incident on the Beach Last Night 🫢

 You know how everyone wants me to be in a book…well great news, I am in a book. In fact I am in more than one book, they are called ‘The Bad Books’ and I am the star 😇 For some reason Nix isn’t speaking to me. When I say ‘for some reason’ it’s not that I don’t know why she’s not speaking to me but I’d prefer not to go into it too much though I shall inform you all because I know you won’t judge 😇



Suffice to say there was an incident on the beach yesterday evening. Nix wasn’t paying attention as usual and didn’t see the approach of the BCJ. The owner was wearing a baseball cap and was on his own and with Nix’s face blindness there was no chance of her recognising him. I was swift to act and raced down the boardwalk and flung myself at the BCJ. Unfortunately I did fall over in the middle of it and landed on my back on the pebbles. I was soon up though and back in action but can you believe I fell over again. I don’t think my legs are as strong as they used to be and Nix’s definitely aren’t. She came ‘running’ down the boardwalk and managed to grab me straight away. 


She apologised to the man and he said he thought it was about time I was kept on my lead at all times. Nix said that I get on really well with all other dogs and it seemed a pity as his dog was the only one I didn’t like. Anyway we got home and Nix thought about it and has decided that I shall have to stay on my lead when we go to the beach. As if that wasn’t bad enough she then decided to go round to where the BCJ lives and apologise properly and tell them I should always be on my lead on the beach as they have a right to walk in peace. Apparently the BCJ came running down the stairs to say hello to Nix and he was supposedly really lovely. Nix had to grovel quite a bit I believe, she’s not happy 🫢





Today I stayed on my lead for the beach walk but we have been to Southwick Hill this afternoon so I could have my freedom. It’s still very hot so we didn’t go very far. I rolled in something that smelled really weird. 




Oh yes poor Jackie and Peter next door got woken up at around 5am this morning because they had a gas leak and a passerby had reported it. They are still there now trying to fix it. Apparently there was gas leaking into the electricity meter so it was very dangerous, they came and checked our bungalow but it was okay. Jackie has a big hole in her driveway now. Took them ages, I could have done it much quicker 🤭




PS No dogs were bitten in ‘the incident’

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
