Trip To The Pet Shop Today šŸ™‚

 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 šŸ˜¤ 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 šŸ¤”



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 šŸ¤£



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 šŸ˜‡



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 šŸ˜‰

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 hos...

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 ...

Apparently I’m Always in the Way

Image
So Nix doesn’t understand why I am always behind her, she said it’s starting to annoy her apart from being very dangerous. She says if she falls over me and breaks her hip who’s going to look after me. Have you seen her hips, it’d take a sledgehammer to break one of those. Anyway she keeps saying there’s only one way out of the bungalow so I don’t need to follow her around everywhere. That’s not strictly true because there are doors at the back and a door at the side. She could escape without me through any of those...I must be vigilant at all times. So now she has settled down to finish getting my blog into print and it really is painful to watch. She says it takes twelve taps on the iPad to add one photograph on one day of the blog. She also says if there are thirty days in the month that will take her 360 taps. She’s got six months left to do... I shouldn’t hold your breath for this blog if I was you.  There will of course be a quicker way to do it which she will discover next y...
