Trip To The Pet Shop Today 🙂

 There was a bit of a double incident last night. Nix and I were doing our last walk round the block (anti clockwise) and we were just approaching the BCJ’s house and who should we see walking towards us but ‘him’ heading in a clockwise direction 😤 Look I don’t like him, he walks round like he owns the place and I need to put him in his place. It’s quite hard to do that when Nix is trying to drag me away but I did my best. Can you believe that as we were walking back down our road there he was again…in my road. Yes I know I go down his road but that’s different, we need to keep an eye on his house sale. We’ve got gas works in our street so there’s only pavements open on one side. This was my big chance, one quick lunge and I could have had him. Rather unbelievably his owner walked into the road with him and hid behind a parked car. I feel cheated but there’s always the next time 🤔



We’re having a quiet day today as we have been quite busy, well Nix has been quite busy, me not so much. We did start off on the beach but it was so windy we had to come home along the road. I was hoping for a sighting of you know who but no such luck, he was obviously tucked up in bed. Nix said she was relieved we didn’t see him because she’s not sure her nerves can take the strain 🤣



We went into town to see the market but I think it was too windy for the stalls. They had it in a big building instead but they don’t allow dogs in there so as we were so close to the pet shop, I talked Nix into going there instead. I got to choose/steal my own treat and Nix chose me a new monkey though I’m not certain it is a monkey. I’m not bothered, it’s got stuffing and a squeaker 😇



It’s only 1.30pm and the sun’s just come out. I tried to wangle another walk just now but to no avail but I think we will go to the park at teatime. Nix tells me that from tomorrow we shall have lots of extra daylight in the evenings so I shall be expecting even more walks 😉

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
