I Don’t Have Doggy Dementia 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 


Been to see Bron my vet and guess what…I’m not getting doggy dementia 🙂 Bron checked me all over and she thinks it’s my arthritis giving me some discomfort and that’s making me a bit weird and restless. So now we have a bit of a problem because as you probably know there’s lots of things I’m not allowed because of my IMTP history. When I had Librela last year it worked brilliantly but it made my platelets drop to a dangerous level. Bron has suggested paracetamol for a week because we know that I’m okay with that. If I return back to normal, then we’ll know that it’s the pain that’s troubling me and she will have to start investigating other drugs that won’t affect my platelets. Unfortunately even the more natural remedies can be bad for me. 



We got very wet going to the vets but the sun soon came out and we took a stroll on the beach. It was a bit too windy so we came home quite quickly. Bron said I’m to wear my fleece at all times and Nix forgot to put it on me 🙄 I’m meant to wear a fleecy jacket in the house too. Nix is trying to find one that I don’t have to put my back legs through because that hurts me a bit. Bron also wants Nix to tuck me in at night to keep me snug but that’s a bit difficult because I like to change beds during the night. I always wake up in a different bed to the one I went to sleep in. 



Paracetamol for a week means custard cream balls yay 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼



We just got our first Christmas card all the way from Australia…thank you Susan Piddock 🙂

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
