We’ve Been Very Busy Today…

 


Today has been a busy busy and really busy day. It was a bit like Christmas because a parcel arrived from Sara Butcher and not only did it contain my new step but there were lots of presents too. I got a proper drying towel with my name on it and I got a new taggie and a new lead made by Sara. Nix got a mask with a sort of Beardie face on it so we have both been very lucky. Nix has to go out now and buy the piece of foam to go into my new step and then I can test it out, I think I’m going to like it.  



Just after the parcel arrived the man who bought the bed came to collect it. You don’t want to know what was under that bed, it was rather disgusting. At some point Nix must have dropped a mug of tea and it must have run right under the bed. This had mixed in with all the fluff and dogs hair and formed a congealed lump in the middle of the floor…quite disgusting. Along with that were six lip salves, not surprising really as she always knocks them off the bedside cabinet and can’t find them in the morning. There was also a Polo mint, a puzzle book and lots of bits of broken mug. It took Nix forever to clear it all up and I had to wait quite a while for my walk to Buckingham Park. 



The man who bought the bed didn’t have a very big van and it was a bit of a squeeze but he managed to get it in and Nix got £140…she is very pleased. While she was out on the drive trying to help, guess what I did. I’ll give you a clue…Sara has just made me a step to help me get into the car which is actually quite low. Can’t guess? I jumped up on the sofa so I could see what was going on…I did it twice. I shan’t be doing it again though because it did hurt my legs a bit but I needed to make sure Nix wasn’t going away, 



Shortly after Sara’s present arrived and the bed man had gone another parcel arrived and it was the new dress that Nix had ordered. It fits her perfectly and she is very happy. When she is happy, I am happy 🙂 She tried it on over her jeans to make sure it fits and she is very pleased. It does need a bit of an iron but I’ll post a photo anyway. 





We walked home with Rita and went to see her new flat. It was very nice and she had a very good selection of toys on a chair… it was only the one and it wasn’t my fault 😇

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
