Had My Blood Tested This Morning, Results to Follow…



 So where do I start…I shall start in the middle because I know you all worry about me. I’ve been to the vets and I’ve had my bloods taken but we won’t have the results just yet. Bron just wants to make sure that the Fluoxetine (doggy Prozac) hasn’t affected my platelets. If all is well I’ll stay on it for a while but I shall have to get my blood tested again in a week just to be sure.  My anal glands had filled right up again so we may need to talk about that. Nix asked Dr Chris if there was anything she should add to my food and he said no but we all know that’s not true so Nix will talk to Bron about it. Lots of different things have been recommended by you guys but we just want Bron to okay it. 



To go back to the beginning I did wake up at 3.30am but Nix didn’t need to take me out for a walk. I was mainly digging but she managed to calm me and I eventually went back to sleep. We went for a lovely walk along the boardwalk this morning but in the opposite direction as Nix somehow managed to lose my ‘DEAF DOG’ sign last night. We thought we might find it on the beach but we couldn’t see it so Nix will have to buy me a new one…that’ll teach her to be more careful 😉


On the way home we called in at my groomer Shelle’s new place of work. She left the other place where we already had my Christmas groom booked in so Nix was a bit worried she wouldn’t be able to get me done at such late notice but they managed to squeeze me in at 8am on 21st December. Nix is very happy about that, me, not so much 🤔



I went to bed as soon as we got home, Nix said I smell really bad…charming. I don’t suppose we’ll be going out for a while so Nix will type the blog now and hopefully we’ll have more news tomorrow. 


Nix says she doesn’t mind getting up in the middle of the night as she can doze in the afternoon. She made it sound like she doesn’t normally doze in the afternoon 🤣

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
