Buckingham Park Today and Lemon Drizzle 😋

 Can I just say that Sainsbury’s did not make a very good job of my turkey delivery yesterday. They brought the wrong turkey and they didn’t bring enough. This meant that Nix and I had to drive up to Tesco this morning to buy more. I have to wait outside in the car and Nix hates doing it but we went very early so Nix could see me the whole time she was in the shop. She bought a hat while she was in there for cold early mornings but because she went through the self serve it still had its thingy on it and she set off the thief alarms as she was leaving…so glad I wasn’t with her 🙄 The new and correct turkey is now cooked but I’m still not very hungry. I think Nix is going to try with the tripe again but I can tell you now I am not eating it, it smells really bad. Yes I know I like the tripe treats, I really really like them but the fresh tripe is not the same. Nix has looked everywhere for freeze dried tripe but there doesn’t seem to be any in the UK but she has found some ‘air dried’ which she thinks she might be able to add to my food if she breaks it up…what do you think? She took a photo to show you, has anyone used it. 




This afternoon we have been to Buckingham park and I chased a squirrel. I don’t run that often these days so I really enjoyed it. I haven’t been able to get a drink there for ages though because they turned the tap off and put a notice up saying there was Legionaire’s Disease. Thankfully the bowling club have put a big bowl of lovely clean water out so I was able to have a long drink. Perhaps Sheila’s Edgar will thank the bowling club for us. We went to the cafe and Nix had some tea and a piece of lemon drizzle cake. I got treats from the lady behind the counter but she prefers Nix to give them to me…I got two and one bite of lemon drizzle 🤣



Tomorrow we are going to the recycling centre and then hopefully off to Hove Lagoon for a walk 🙂

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
