A Walk Down By The Houseboats Today 🙂



 It was very cold in the spare bedroom last night. Nix likes to get up in the middle of the night to have a wee and they say I have a weak bladder. Anyway last night it was apparently freezing. The bed in there is further away from the French doors so it should be warmer but apparently not. I’ve still got two of my beds in the main bedroom so I spent the night in there in my donut bed. When I say I spent the night in there that would be when I wasn’t in the bathroom digging. I haven’t done that for ages, not sure what came over me but I was warned after the third go that I would be made to stay in the cold bedroom with Nix with the door closed. After that I curled up in one of my favourite donut beds in the proper bedroom and went to sleep. I don’t like all this moving bedrooms, it makes me feel insecure. 



I woke Nix up early so we could get a good walk in before Kay was visiting with the foam for my steps. Unbelievably the foam is almost exactly the same size as the cover that Sara made. As soon as the boxes arrive later Nix says I can try it out…I see a lot of bribery treats in the future 🫢Nix and Kay were so busy talking that Nix completely forgot to take a photo of Kay and moi. When the steps are done Kay will have to come round again and we can take a photo of moi on them 🤣



This afternoon we have walked down by the houseboats and over to Adur Rec and had a walk through the little wood. As you know I like to stop and smell…a lot… and there was one time when I thought I’d lost Nix and I panicked a bit and started running in the wrong direction. I don’t hear so well these days but thankfully Nix was shouting really loudly and I did hear her. She says she’s going to order a whistle today and hopefully I’ll be able to hear that better. She wants to know how come I can hear her clearing her throat at night and run away but I can’t hear her shouting me during the day. Answers on a postcard please 🥰



Rita is coming to sit with me tonight because Nix is going off to her Lent Course. It’s called ‘the love you had at first’ and I expect it will be about the day Nix met me for the first time 😇

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
