Custards Creams and Some of Nix’s Prawn Mayo Sandwich 😋



 Another weird night last night. I woke Nix up digging but I’m not sure why. Nix looked out for the flashing light but there was nothing there…I might have been dreaming. 


Nix said this morning at church was very enjoyable…I didn’t hear a thing. Apparently there was a saxophone, I don’t think I’d have liked that so it’s a good job I couldn’t hear. When I first came to live with Nix I wouldn’t go past the man playing his acoustic guitar on the seafront, I didn’t like the noise and I didn’t like him. . 



I have been asked by the clergy to review the upcoming pet service. You may remember I wrote about last year’s on the blog and they were clearly impressed. I shall not be mentioning the cat who came out of it’s basket trying to get all the attention, I shall be mainly writing about moi! I might include the very old tortoise and if we had a donkey I would definitely give him a mention. Nix is still smarting at missing the donkey at Easter because she had Covid…she really likes donkeys. Anyway a lady from the Dogs Trust will be coming to the service to give a little chat so she will probably want her photo taken with me.  



This afternoon we have just been locally to the rec but there were lots of cars parked on the grass. As soon as we arrived Nix could hear the noise of the pretend cars and we could see lots of GUMPARs getting very excited. Actually Nix just made that up herself, she seems to think it’s funny. Grown Up Men Playing At Racing 🙄 Anyway they were very noisy…apparently. 




Nix is a bit nervous because five years ago today we had a lovely walk in the afternoon but when we woke up the next morning I couldn’t move. Nix had to rush me to the vets because I had gone into kidney failure. I was in hospital for two weeks altogether and I came out with a ‘Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass’ which goes from my kidney to my bladder and I’ll show you the x-ray. It cost a fortune apparently.

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...
