Down By The Riverside 🙂



 Last night the rain was sooo bad and it was very very windy. Nix had a PCC meeting at the church and when we were inside the rain was lashing down and the wind was making loud bangs on the windows and I didn’t like that at all. I usually go to sleep but I found myself trembling quite a lot. Eventually it stopped and we were able to go for a little walk before we went home. 



This morning it had stopped raining, the sun was out and we had a lovely walk on the beach. When we got home Nix cooked my meals for the week and then we watched the budget together. It seems like there might be a bit extra coming my way and I worked out that I should get at least one new toy per week plus numerous treats 🙂



This afternoon we decided to go for a walk down by the river. When Nix makes that suggestion to moi she always ends up singing Down By The Riverside 🙄 The walk was very enjoyable until I got my claw stuck in the bench and it hurt a lot. The first Nix knew about it was when I tried to jump down and as she puts it ‘started to scream the place down’ which is a complete exaggeration of course. When she came to help I tried to bite her, that’s really bad isn’t it but I was really scared and I thought she was going to make it worse like she usually does. Anyway she managed to free my claw and I was absolutely fine. Nix’s thumb is also fine though she spent most of the way home saying, “I can’t believe you actually bit me when I was trying to help…” Shall I tell you it’s a lot of fuss about nothing, no blood, just a bit of a nip 🫢 




We were on our way back down the river to the car and what should be coming toward us but a huge massive Bull Mastiff with equally huge thingies 😱 The owner didn’t look very strong and he had the dog on two leads and a chain. As they went past the dog lunged at us, nearly gave Nix a heart attack and we made a hasty retreat back to the car. 



We are home now and Nix’s friend Elaine who is something of an economist explained how much extra money we shall be getting each month and it’s a little more than we thought. I see at the very least a new raised food bowl, one of the highest quality of course and possibly a new tube of Cowboy Magic for my tail which has never been quite the same since the burr incident a few weeks ago 🙂

It’s My Birthday Tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 We’ve not done a lot today. Nix has been dozing off at various times and to be honest, I’ve been asleep too. It’s quite nice actually not having anything to do. Nix has been working on the church log book so there was lots of tutting, mainly because she couldn’t remember where she’d put anything. Just in case you were wondering, the log book is an account of everything that is added to the church or taken away or repaired. Eventually Nix will fill in the actual document with special ink that doesn’t fade so it will be there for future generations to read.  We did go to the Rec this afternoon as I did need a little walk but we didn’t stay too long, it was very cold. It was also very muddy but not to worry, most of it will fall off tomorrow in time for my birthday 🙂 Speaking of my birthday, I have received quite a lot of presents and cards which is very exciting. At the moment we are waiting for my birthday cake to be delivered, it’s a vanilla sponge with raspberry cream. I sh...

RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 😪

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...
