Fantastic News About My Grand Godson Winston



 We have lots of good news today. Nix’s grand Godson Winston has been very poorly. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour and the doctors weren’t able to remove it all but he’s been having medicine and now the tumour has shrunk…a lot. We think it’s like a miracle so thank you everyone who prayed for him last time we wrote about him. His brother is learning rock climbing and Winston wanted to have a go and with a special teacher he is doing really well especially as he was in a wheelchair in May. Nix will post a photo of him…he’s only six 😪



The other good news is that our church, The Church of the Good Shepherd is now a dementia friendly church and we got presented with our certificate on Sunday. Thank you to Sheila Powell for all her hard work. 





This morning I stayed on my own for a little bit while Nix popped out but I was very good. As soon as she got back we had our Sainsbury’s delivery with my smoked mackerel and then we went to Brooklands Park for a treat. It was a lovely sunny day when we set out and then once we got there the heavens opened…never mind I still enjoyed myself, Nix not so much. I nearly made it into the stinky pond but Nix grabbed me just in time. 




This afternoon we have had a walk down the beach as it is a very lovely afternoon. We’re meant to be getting a lot of rain overnight so I shall have one more walk about 8pm I think and then tomorrow Jackie is coming to sit with me as Nix is going to a place where they write wills. I’m presuming she will be leaving everything to me 😌

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
