We Didn’t Have a Very Good Night But I’m Much Better Now 🙂



 I didn’t have a very good night last night. Even if I’m a bit fractious during the day I always sleep at night. Last night was different and so was the evening I suppose. I was very restless and I couldn’t relax. Nix took me out for my last walk and I met a couple of very nice girls. They really liked me and gave me lots of hugs. I did go to bed when we got home but I couldn’t get to sleep. I made Nix very upset because she could see I looked scared. I did scratch the sofa quite badly and I scratched at the floors and the windows. In the end by about 1.30am Nix gave in and took me out again. It was very dark because all the street lights had gone out and Nix had to use her phone torch or see where we were going. When we got home I did go to bed and after a lot of tossing and turning and panting a lot I finally nodded off. I was up again at 5am by which time Nix had decided to bring my vets appointment forward and take me today. I didn’t really fancy that so I upped my game and I’ve been very calm today apart from a bit of quivering. Nix took a little video of that and also one of me on the boardwalk this morning so you can see how well I am when I’m not climbing the walls. 




So…Nix has decided that over 90% of the time I am very happy. I am either asleep or I am enjoying a walk or I’m on Nix’s lap getting hugs. She’s hoping that when we see the vet tomorrow he might give me something that is quick acting for when I have one of my turns and I’m not quite so happy. We’ll have to see what he says and if Bron agrees. We have to accept that my funny little quirks are probably related to my chronic kidney disease but we’ll know more after he has done all the tests. 




This afternoon we have been to Brooklands Park.  We were going to stop for a cup of tea and some lemon drizzle cake but unfortunately the café was full. Nix always said it was too small when they were building it. We’re home now and I feel quite tired and so I’m going for a lay down. I’m going to try my best to sleep through the night as well so Nix can get some sleep. Having said that I just had a quick look and Nix is fast asleep on the sofa in front of the TV 😴




PS It doesn’t hurt when I quiver, it just feels a bit weird but it doesn’t last for long 🙂

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
