Buckingham Park Today…



 Can I just say that we got back from our walk today at about 2pm. Nix got comfortable laying out on the sofa with her face in the shade but the sun shining on the rest of her. I had to lick her face to wake her up at 4pm otherwise she’d still be there now!



Anyway I thought you might like to see a couple of photos from our walk last night. We arrived at the beach just as the sun was about to set. Nix looked up and there was a bright rainbow and then a second one next to it not so bright. Nix said it was obviously our queen and Prince Philip looking down on us all. I’m not so sure myself but if it makes Nix happy then I’m happy. It did put her in good spirits and I got to walk all the way to The Burrells instead of just round the block…on the way back we watched the sun setting 🙂




It was nice to have a dry day today but we knew everywhere would be muddy after yesterday’s rain so we headed for Buckingham Park. There are paths all the way round most of it but I prefer the grass anyway. It wasn’t muddy at all but the grass was still wet. Nix said that’s another pair of shoes soaked through and she is going to have to get her wellies out. Nix had discovered yesterday that her ‘waterproof’ coat is not actually waterproof so how she expected her trainers to stay dry I have no idea. She says she is fast running out of shoes to wear. Anyway there were lots of dogs to meet at the park and I had a very good time even though we weren’t out for that long. I am promised a longer walk again this evening. 



There is some excitement in the house, guess what about…perfume 🙄 Nix really only has one luxury if you don’t count moi and that’s her perfume. She never ever went out without giving herself a good old spray but since I was diagnosed with chronic rhinitis many years ago she hasn’t really been using it that much because the vet at the specialist hospital told Nix not to use scented candles etc. Bearing in mind that was the same vet who gave me two to three years to live almost six years ago, Nix decided to look up ‘chronic’ It said ‘persisting for a long time’ or ‘constantly recurring’ neither of which has happened so she hopes maybe after all this time it will be okay. She has been saving up to buy a bottle of one of her favourites that she hasn’t worn since she was in her forties and she can’t wait for it to arrive on Sunday. It’s called Diva 🤣🤣🫢

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
