Worthing Today…Hmmm 🙂

 Well it’s been a bit of a funny old day today. We went out late last night because Nix thought we might have another lay in this morning but you know how it is, when a chap’s awake a chap has to go out. I find the staring doesn’t work when Nix is asleep so if the arm is out I can lick her hand but otherwise I just do my rumble…it’s a cross between a growl and a bark 🙂 



We went down the beach but not very far because Nix in her wisdom decided we would go to Worthing market a bit later on. She really should check her days and her directions because when we got there, there was no sign of a market. There was however a really interesting array of shops including one of my favourites, a dog boutique and one of Nix’s favourites, Bert’s Homestore. We also met a very sweet little dog, I thought it was a toy at first and very nearly grabbed it. He was a Jack Russell puppy but I don’t think he could have been the best of the litter because he was very small but we liked him a lot. Nix saw an old record player and she really wanted to buy it. She’d need her copy of Livin Doll she said just to really bring back the memories. She said they wouldn’t allow the lyrics today so she might not be able to find one. We went on the beach for a bit but it was too windy…and cold. 




We had a lovely rest this afternoon and I actually got up on the sofa with Nix which I don’t do that often these days. We had a lovely snooze under a fleecy blanket that was sent to us by our friend Anne Floyd. I think my company on the sofa made Nix very happy but I prefer to choose one of my donut beds in the bedrooms. I was soon awake and wanting to go out again so I got my way and we’ve been down to our beach which wasn’t so cold and now we’re home again and I’m off to the spare room for a nice sleep.

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
