Miserable Old Day Today…



 Apparently I’m very annoying when Nix goes to the toilet. I like to stand in the doorway and stare. She thinks it’s very funny to say, “Move along there, nothing to see here…”  I don’t think that’s very funny at all and anyway she stands and stares when I do the poopies on the beach so I can’t really see the difference. There’s always a good reason for me staring and it’s usually because I think Nix is going to go out and leave me on my own. To be fair I am mostly wrong I must admit but this morning I just knew I was going to be left. Nix tries not to show it but she does get a bit anxious about it and I always spot the signs.  I give her the ‘Please don’t leave me on my own’ look and it usually works but this morning she said she wanted to go to the Ash Wednesday service at church without moi 😕 She wasn’t gone very long and I think she really enjoyed it and she’s got a black cross on her forehead which I quite like. 



It’s been quite a miserable day weather wise so we haven’t been that far. We did get down the beach this morning and I bumped into Hector.  He’s quite annoying and tries to jump all over me so I did tell him off. I had to go on my lead in the end because I do like to go down by the sea and then Nix can’t see me. I like to eat the mallow stems, they’re very yummy, all the dogs like them. 




After Nix got back from church I was able to wangle a trip over the bridge into town as she was feeling so guilty. It was very nice that we bumped into lots of friends. First of all we saw Jackie but without Indie who was at home feeling a bit sorry for herself. She had to have a lump removed from her mouth yesterday and the vet has sent it away but he doesn’t think it’s anything serious. Jackie said she tried to take her out for a little walk yesterday but she tried to come into our house. We were out buying a bed so she sat on the doorstep and wouldn’t move.  I love Indie, I hope we shall be in next time she comes a calling. Next we saw Vivian from church and then Lesley from church so it was a very nice start to our walk. We had a meander through the churchyard and then stopped off at Tom Foolery for tea and toast and who should we see in there but Crystabelle and Fiona from church too. At least Nix wasn’t the only one wearing a black cross on her forehead.

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
