The New Step Works Brilliantly 🙂

 You’d think Nix would have learned by now that getting impatient and just a bit grumpy when I take off down the beach and refuse to come back is never going to work. I know it was really cold and windy but if she marches me home before my usual walk time is up then I am going to be wanting to go out again sooner than normal. So this morning I took off down the beach and I don’t have to pretend any longer that I can’t hear her because I can’t hear her 🤣 She had to come and get me in the end and she marched me home at top speed. I slept for about one hour and then I was up again wanting to go for a walk. I’d also woken her up in the middle of the night digging in the kitchen this time. I wish I knew why I dig but anyway Nix came in and cuddled me and I went back to sleep. 



The new step didn’t look any better this morning, Nix was very disappointed. The cover seemed much too big and then she looked at it more closely and realised she had the foam in the wrong way round. She’s put it right now and it works really well, I have already used it to get in the car and it’s very easy to use. I used it to get on the sofa too so I could reach the recuperating donkey…




Once my food delivery had arrived we set off for our old stomping ground Hove. We needed more poo bags and only the pet shop in Hove sells the ones we use…Nix is very fussy 🙄 We stopped first at Hove Lagoon for a nice walk, the sea was very rough and because it’s a full moon the tide was very high.  I was slightly annoyed because we didn’t call in at the café and I always get a sausage there…a real one. Never mind, we then called in at the pet shop for the poo bags and I got one of my favourite treats for the journey home. 





Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve… apparently. Nix has completely lost track of the days (more so than usual) and she had to be reminded. I can’t hear the fireworks any longer so it doesn’t really matter, I expect I shall sleep through them and Nix is wondering if I shall ever use my thunder shirt again. She has threatened it for the night time digging 🤣

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
