Brooklands Park Today And I Got Just A Bit Smelly…Apparently 🫢



 Nix has mended my toys that I accidentally ripped the stuffing out of. Who knew she actually owned a sewing box though it may have seen the light of day when she unsuccessfully tried to fix my coat which kept sliding off. There was a lot of tutting, the cotton was too thin, the eye of the needle was too small, the stuffing kept falling out. Miraculously she has repaired both of them and they do look okay but I’m not holding my breath. The decapitated Alpaca from Petra and Therese was the most difficult apparently. The rabbit from Kathleen and Marshall was easier but she couldn’t hide the bad sewing because the hair wasn’t long enough.  Nix will probably post photos so best to just humour her and say they look really good and you’d never know they had been repaired. It’s not really a proper lie, you’d just be being kind 😇



We’ve been to Brooklands Park this afternoon. I’m still not allowed in the big lake because some fish died and they’re not sure how safe it is but there is the other pool, the one with the tadpoles. Unfortunately, because it’s been quite hot and we haven’t had any rain it was quite smelly. When I say quite smelly I probably should say it stank to high heaven and apparently so did I when I got out. I won’t go in the sea when the tide is in so I had the indignity of being hosed down in the garden.  We have home group this evening and Nix is wondering if she can take me as I still smell quite bad. Hopefully a wander along the beach in a while will freshen me up. 




Nix has been sun bathing in the garden. A seagull did a big poopy as he flew over and although it missed Nix, it landed with such force on the floor it splattered all over her leg 🫣 She was not amused. 




Nix has been invited next door for a cup of tea on her Birthday so she’s very pleased about that.  The Bartram family have been good friends to us. Nix and I are really glad we moved to Shoreham.

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
