Happy New Year Everyone 🙂

 


Apparently last night there was some very weird weather. It was the first time for ages that I haven’t woken up in the middle of the night and then woken Nix up. Instead she managed all on her own…apparently there were hailstones crashing down on the roof and it was so loud it actually scared Nix awake…twice 🤣 We decided in the end not to take our first visit to church this morning but would wait until things are a bit calmer. Hopefully we will try for our Friday morning at St Mary’s this week with coffee and croissant afterwards. 



We’ve had two lovely surprises today. First of all Jackie popped in and stayed for a cuppa. I was very happy to see her and I joined her on the sofa for cuddles. Then a bit later Rita and husband Terry and son Terry all turned up for a visit too. They had been for a walk on the  beach after church and decided to drop in for a chat. They also brought Nix some cake as it was Jonathan’s last Sunday at church as he is moving abroad. He is one of our neighbours so Nix and I will see him before he leaves. We walked back into town with Rita so I could stretch my legs and have a wander round the churchyard and now we’re home again and I’m resting. Apparently I need to do a 90° turn to keep the vet happy. Never going to happen… 🙂




It’s New Year’s Eve tonight and I expect there will be fireworks but thankfully I can’t hear them any longer. For all you doggies out there who can hear them, try not to be scared, it will soon be over. Nix and I wish everyone a very Happy New Year and a peaceful year for everyone the world over 🙂

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
