Buckingham Park Today…a Bit Boring

 


I’m a bit restless at the moment, not sure why wink wink.  I did go through a phase of going to sleep for quite a long time when we got back from our walks but now I don’t seem to be sleeping quite so long. I like to check Nix is still in the bungalow because I don’t always hear her. I wouldn’t mind but Nix is up and down like a yo-yo during the night either to go to the loo or get a drink so I don’t know why she’s worrying about me. 



Tonight we aren’t going to home group because there is something Nix wants to go to on prayer. It only lasts an hour so Nix is going to take me for a ‘lovely long walk’ and then I am going to stay on my own. It’s on from 7.30 to 8.30 so she won’t be gone long. Don’t tell her but it’s the main reason I’ve been ‘a bit restless’ hoping it might put her off leaving me but it hasn’t worked and she’s still going 😕 I need to try new tactics I think 🙂



We went down the beach this morning so Nix could take a photo of a pile of old wood that has been dumped there. Nix has been asking the council for so long for it to be removed and it’s still there. The fact they removed the board for the church fayre annoyed Nix so much she’s written to complain to the council. There is a ‘legal’ sign as you enter Shoreham beach  pointing to the ‘Church of the Good Shepherd’ and our notice was just attached to that.  It would only have been there for a week but apparently the ‘legal’ sign that is there belongs to the council and we’re not allowed to attach anything to it…boo to Adur and Worthing Council 👎



We went to Buckingham Park at lunchtime. It was quite cloudy so not too warm for me. We stopped and had a cup of tea and I got some treats. All the dogs there were little dogs so a bit boring and surprisingly difficult to knock over 🤣



I’m fast asleep now for the rest of the afternoon as I need to be on high alert ready for when Nix goes out later, don’t want to accidentally fall asleep. I shall get on the sofa and look pathetic as she leaves. It won’t stop her going tonight, but it might make her think twice about doing it again.

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...
