Trip to the River…



 We got very wet this morning when we went to prayer and meditation. Nix had to put my bed in a bin liner so it would be dry when we got to church. I wore my waterproof too and we hung that over one of the pews to dry. We got even wetter on the way home so now everything is soaking wet including me as I might have taken a dip in the river too. 



As you may know we have our Pet Service in a couple of weeks and Nix was trying to get the posters put up along the beach where all the dogs go for their walks. We were only able to get one spot so Nix has had the brainwave to advertise it in our front garden. We get lots of passers-by as the shops are at the end of our road as is the footbridge into town. She has ordered a floor standing holder so we can advertise lots of churchy things there and the horrible council man can’t stop us like he did when we tried to advertise our summer fair. The money from this one is going to the Dogs Trust so we need to get lots of people to come with their pets. Remember when the Vicar of Dibley did a pet service and there was a huge queue 🙂




You can tell Nix was bored this afternoon, she got me to pull funny faces to amuse everyone, I hope you like them. I told her to take one of herself as her face is funny because her eyes are all squinty because she can’t see properly 🤣 Only another two weeks…




Can I just mention that the plant yesterday got far too much attention in my opinion…just saying 🙂

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...

It’s My Birthday Tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 We’ve not done a lot today. Nix has been dozing off at various times and to be honest, I’ve been asleep too. It’s quite nice actually not having anything to do. Nix has been working on the church log book so there was lots of tutting, mainly because she couldn’t remember where she’d put anything. Just in case you were wondering, the log book is an account of everything that is added to the church or taken away or repaired. Eventually Nix will fill in the actual document with special ink that doesn’t fade so it will be there for future generations to read.  We did go to the Rec this afternoon as I did need a little walk but we didn’t stay too long, it was very cold. It was also very muddy but not to worry, most of it will fall off tomorrow in time for my birthday 🙂 Speaking of my birthday, I have received quite a lot of presents and cards which is very exciting. At the moment we are waiting for my birthday cake to be delivered, it’s a vanilla sponge with raspberry cream. I sh...

RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 😪

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...
