I’m Being Measured For a New Coat…

 It wasn’t meant to rain this morning but when we were halfway along the beach, the heavens opened. I was okay, I had my waterproof coat on but Nix had gone for her duvet coat which is warmer but not waterproof. Oh boy did we get wet but especially Nix. Her jeans were soaked as were her jacket and gloves. When we got home we took all our wet clothes off and Nix had to put the heating on to dry them. I had run out of dry coats so I went out a bit later in Judith’s jumper. It’s meant more for inside I think because it got a bit muddy somehow and now it’s in the wash. Sorry Judith, I shall only wear it indoors in future 🙂



I have been measured for my new coat and measured again…and again…and again 🙄 Apparently the problem is I am very slim but also very long. If we get the one that fits my slim body it probably won’t be long enough. That’s no good really because then I’ll have a cold bottom all the time rather than only when the wind blows. Nix was going to get the larger size but now she thinks it will be too big round my neck. Apparently though Nix can send the measurements to the company and they will recommend the best size but Nix doesn’t think we will get one that will fit well. If we do it will be a red one 🙂 Stay tuned… 🙂



Speaking of my very slim body (Nix is jealous) Bron my vet is worried that I don’t eat very well and I am losing too much weight. Nix has tried just about everything and the only thing I really like are treats. Although Nix said she would never feed me kibble she and Bron decided it was worth trying the special kidney diet version. It arrived this morning and Nix gave me one piece and I spat it out. She tried again and I ate it and then she gave me quite a few more and I ate them. Bron had said I could have a bowl down so I could graze so she put some in a bowl and when she went to the loo I ate them all. Nix is very happy that I am eating but not so happy it’s kibble but she says as long as I like it I can have it. Bowls of water have suddenly appeared in all rooms because apparently it’s important that I drink plenty.



We haven’t really done anything today though we did go to meet Tracy. There was hair stuff going on so I slept most of the morning. Tracy was mum to Tinker her Jack Russell who went to the bridge recently. I told you about her, she was only eight but she had bad cancer.  Nix and Tracy were looking at photos of her, she was very pretty 😪

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
