Up Before Sunrise This Morning 🌅



 Nice early start today, we were out before sunrise down at low tide. I did wear my coat but it wasn’t really very cold. The special thing Nix bought to put under my bed to stop the condensation didn’t work by the way. When she lifted the bed today it was soaking wet underneath…too much heat from my hot body. She put it on our neighbours WhatsApp and one of our neighbours took it to put in their shed. At least now Nix doesn’t have to take it up to the recycling centre because we all know how much she loves going there 🤣



As you know Nix sold her bed and they are collecting it tomorrow. She decided to move us into the spare room today as we are a bit busy in the morning. Nix says she isn’t looking forward to sleeping in a single bed but she’s kept her double duvet on it so it’s not so bad. We have to sleep there now until 1st April because the bed size we chose is a bit of an unusual size and it has to be made. The best thing is I have a lot of room for my bed though I am used to having two beds, one either side of Nix. I like to start off in one and finish in the other but never mind, I can make do if Nix can. 



This afternoon we have been to check out the new sustainable Brooklands Cafe which is being built in Brooklands Park. They say they will be ready to open in April so Nix is looking forward to lemon drizzle there this summer. We walked all round the lake and imagined what it will be like to sit there, I think it will be very nice.




You know how Nix was asking about steps because I don’t like jumping any longer well guess what. The very kind Sara Butcher immediately offered to make me a step so it will be easier for me to get in the car. It’s not very high but I find it difficult to jump in, now I shall be able to step in. It’s going to be orange and it’s already on its way, I am very excited. Sara sent a photo of her making it so I’ll let you see that but you’ll have to wait a bit to see me using it. Nix chose the orange 🫢


Nix treated herself to a new dress today as she says I am  very cheap to feed these days 🙂

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
