Lots of Walks Today and Jackie Came For Lemon Drizzle



 A minor miracle has happened in this house, Nix just actually cooked a meal for herself. As you know she can be quite lazy but now she is saving to get the wall knocked down she decided it would be cheaper to cook for herself than eat ready meals. It was painful watching her get it all together but actually it turned out very tasty, I tried some…creamy smoked salmon pasta. She’s obsessed with the smart meter these days and she’s very pleased that it didn’t cost very much to make it. 




We’ve been out a few times today. First of all we went to the river and then over to the rec. The tide was too far out for a paddle though I could have done with one as it’s been very hot. We met a very nice sheepadoodle, I liked her a lot but Nix forgot to take a photo. I got a lot of compliments too about my tail and about how handsome I am.




After lunch we walked into town to take some clothes and stuff to the charity shop. We met a little boy on the way and he wanted to take me for a walk. I of course took full advantage of this and we got quite some distance ahead. That little boy could move  quite fast, much faster than Nix and I almost made it to the other side.  The little boy’s mother caught up with us in the end but it was great fun while it lasted. 


Jackie has been round for a cuppa this afternoon, they had lemon drizzle cake. When Nix was in the shop getting the cake I jumped into the front seat. The lemon drizzle had to go in the back where I usually go šŸ™‚



Nix has been clearing out drawers and found a photo of her when she was about 21…1966! She is with her long term friend Sally who was a very good singer and could play guitar too. Nix thought she could sing as well until they played the tape back 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...
