Nix Is Better And We Got A New Coffee Machine



I know you like to read about my adventures but I thought I should let you know about Nix. The doctor called yesterday and he had quite a long discussion with Nix and he asked her lots of questions. His diagnosis is vertigo which is hilarious really because Nix is absolutely terrified of heights, she won’t even go up the loft ladder 🙄 Anyway she has to put olive oil drops in one of her ears because it is blocked and if that doesn’t do the trick she will have to have her ear syringed. Nix isn’t amused because apparently you used to be able to get your ears syringed at the doctors, not any longer, you have to go somewhere and pay for it…let’s hope the olive oil works 🙂 Thank you for all the messages, we haven’t had time to read them all but getting there. Nix got almost as many messages as I did when I was sick. Speaking of me being sick…it all started when I was seven and the horrible vet at the referral practice only gave me a two to three year prognosis. My vet Bron was a bit cross with the referrral vet because it wasn’t really her place to say and anyway she was completely wrong because I shall be 13 next Thursday 🙂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼



We, well Nix, has to say thank you to Max Smothers and Jeannette Smothers because they sent Nix a Sainsbury’s voucher so she could buy lots of turkey mince for moi. Well of course I’ve gone off the turkey mince now and am enjoying my junk food as Nix calls it and so can you believe it, she bought a coffee machine instead. I wouldn’t mind but Nix doesn’t even drink coffee really but she says her friends do and it makes hot chocolate too. She’s just about to go onto YouTube to see how to work it 🙂



We’ve been to the old golf course at Brooklands park this afternoon. Nix forgot to put my coat on but I wasn’t cold as the sun was out and there wasn’t much wind. I wish they’d hurry up and build the café, Nix and I used to stop for tea and lemon drizzle. Hopefully it will be ready by the summer 🙂

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
