Cold and Crispy in Brooklands Park



 Crispy crunchy start to the day, Nix was freezing but I quite liked it. I have plenty of coats to keep me warm so no complaints here 🙂



Nix discovered she had a hole in her jacket pocket yesterday when she very nearly lost her phone out of it. It’s a good job I decided to do a poo just as it fell out or she wouldn’t have noticed. She decided she could sow the hole up herself, I mean how difficult could it be she said. I was quite impressed I have to say, quite a neat job but unfortunately there was just one rather large problem. She should have checked the lining first as once it was sown up she realised she’d sown half of her belongings into the the coat. So, inside the lining of the cost now is…one roll of poo bags, one lip salve and about £2.50 🤣 



This afternoon we have been to Brooklands Park. They have built new paths now so we are able to walk around it without getting muddy. I met a Maltese called Archie, he was well grumpy, kept throwing himself at me growling. Nix told the owners it was three strikes and he would be out. I was looking forward to the third strike as he was very annoying but they took him away. 



We got as far as the lake and it was just too tempting, a little paddle was just the tea. Nix didn’t want me to go in but she wasn’t quite fast enough. It was very refreshing actually and now my paws are very clean ready for church tomorrow. 



I am very happy that Nix got rid of the table. All my toys are now spread out around my bed and I can reach any one easily 🙂

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
