I Used My New Step Today To Get On The Sofa 🙂



 Now you may not know this but I only ever do two poos in the morning. This is unless Nix only takes out two poo bags in which case I do three 🙂 



Yesterday was busy but Nix wanted to start getting my new step together. While she was struggling to get the foam in guess what, I just jumped up on the sofa. I should say that I can’t usually do this as I am a bit stiff but yesterday I felt very fluid and I knew it would annoy Nix 🤣



Rita came over in the evening and Nix set off to meet Kay who gave us the foam and they went off to the Lent course together. They had to walk over the footbridge into town to the vicarage and it made Nix realise she doesn’t really go out without me after dark, she said it felt a bit weird. I sat with Rita for quite a long time (on the floor) and then I went to bed. I didn’t hear Nix come home because my hearing isn’t brilliant but she came and woke me up and I was very happy to see her. 



This morning we had the café and our friend Trish came too to help. We picked her up first and headed to church but Grace wasn’t there to give me lots of cuddles so I just went to sleep. I did have my coat on and my bed was by the radiator so I was quite warm but outside it is very very cold today. Nix doesn’t like the cold as you know and the double duvet on the single bed isn’t working too well because it keeps slipping off one side. There’s a lot of tutting going on during the night and the electric blanket is on and off…I slept in the other room for a bit of peace and quiet 🙂


Finally I have an announcement to make…I used the step the first time I tried it..Nix did a video but it’s too long to put on here. I’ll try and do it more quickly tomorrow. I like it very much that I can now get up on the sofa whenever I want to so. Nix will have to stop leaving chocolate biscuits there though 😋

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
