Storm Gerrit is Here 🫢



 Nix is very happy today and all because she got to have the best cuddle with me. I tried to get on the sofa on my own but my back legs failed to give me the push I needed. Nix leaned forward and managed to lift my back end up and I sort of landed on top of her. I just lay there in her arms and we had a really good cuddle. To tell you the truth it went on for a bit longer than I would have chosen but I didn’t have the strength to extricate myself plus Nix was holding me so tight I could hardly breathe never mind disentangle myself. I’m back in my own bed now and very comfortable. 



It’s very windy here, some sort of storm I think. Who knew there were so many storms and they all have names…humans really can be very weird at times. We did go to the beach and it looked like it was snowing and it was too windy to stay too long. 




This afternoon we have been into town because the wind was worse than earlier, much too windy for the beach. We bumped our friend Ann from church so that was very nice. I had my photo taken with her so Nix will send her a copy as I know she is very fond of moi 😇



The Sainsbury’s van has just arrived with my smoked mackerel and Nix’s new toaster which is a present from Max and Jeannette. I still think Nix should have got toys and treats for me but she seems very happy with the toaster so I’ll let this one go. It’s raining very hard and the poor Sainsbury’s man had to stand in the rain while Nix unloaded everything. Once again they sent three meals which all have to be eaten by the day after tomorrow. Even Nix is going to be hard pushed to get that lot down her by then so I see refunds in near future. 



It’s still very wet and very windy so I think I might stay in bed for a little while longer as I’m very comfortable 😴

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
