Dogfish For Breakfast Then Widewater Lagoon

 




We got absolutely soaked yesterday after I wrote my blog. Nix is trying to take me out later before bed to try and help with the leakage situation. By 9pm I wanted to go out and got the stare going. Nix says 10pm would be better but she said she couldn’t concentrate with me staring so we went out at 9.30pm. She decided to make the walk longer so it would be 10pm by the time we got home. Big mistake…the heavens opened. Neither of us had proper waterproofs on and we were a long way from home. The wind was blowing hard and the rain was hitting us in the face, I didn’t like it very much but Nix was even worse, she screamed most of the way home 🤣 Anway it wasn’t worth it because I still leaked a bit but not as much as usual. If I work things right I’ll be getting another walk at 3am in the morning 🙂




Today Nix had to go to church to check something so we decided to park there and walk on to Widewater Lagoon Nature Reserve. I like it there but you have to watch the cyclists. The council are trying to make us dogs stay on our leads, Nix thinks the cyclists should be on leads…that doesn’t invlude the Rev Jane, our vicar who is a very careful cyclist and she reads this 🫢




When we got home Nix put my lunch down and then started making her own. She had bought a box of tacos because it seemed like a good idea at the time. She’s never used them before and should have heated them up but she didn’t read the instructions.  They were so awful she had to transfer the fillings onto some oat cakes. All was well until she trod on my bowl of food and it flipped up and sent my turkey mince all over the kitchen floor. 




She’s resting now…

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
