Back to Hove Again Today…

 


You know my new donut bed, well I went to sleep in it last night and I was still in it this morning…it’s very comfy 🙂



Today we were to drive to Hove so that Nix could put my older donut bed into the laundry. We don’t have a machine that’s big enough and to be honest it was getting just a bit smelly. Just before we left our postman Steve arrived with a package. Guess what, it was more belly bands with extra pads to go inside. These were a gift from Sally Carson and we are very very grateful, you are so kind Sally, thank you very much. I think I have more belly bands than any other dog on earth, almost one for every day of the week. I’m aiming for one donut bed for every day of the week too 🤔🤣 




While we were in Hove we went for a walk along the promenade and I met some really interesting dogs. One of the dogs was a Beardie called Luna and Nix embarrassed herself by not knowing that she was a Beardie and asked what breed she was. The owner didn’t look that impressed and neither was I. Just after that we met a dog that was supposed to be some sort of mountain dog, he was called Pirate. Nix thought he looked more like a Shepherd dog because he kept trying to herd me and Nix up. I liked his name because you know I might have been named after a swashbuckling pirate called Captain Johannes Fripp 🤣 Best of all was when we sat at the café for a cup of tea and who should we bump into but Fiona Manklow. This was very nice and made me very happy and Fiona sat and had a cup of tea with us. She took a photo of me with Nix and we don’t often get photos together so that was very nice too. 




We went back to the Laundrette to pick my dog bed up and there was good news. Because they hadn’t dried it they only charged Nix half price so she was very pleased about that. It’s in the sunshine in the garden drying at the moment and we’ll bring it in later. When it’s dry it will come into the lounge because if I do leak I don’t leak during the day and so it will be quite safe. Nix says it’d better be because if she has to go to the laundrette with it again there is going to be a distinct lack of treats available 🤔

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
