I Stayed On My Own This Morning For Over Half an Hour

 


Guess what? I stayed on my own this morning for the first time since I got sick. Nix took me for a lovely walk first and I found a toy duck like the one I already have so I was able to bring that home. Nix was hoping I would go to sleep as usual in the bedroom but I knew she was going out. She thought if she sprayed her perfume before we went on our walk I might not notice. I thought if I sat and stared she might give in but no, she still went out. To be fair she was only gone just over half an hour and I didn’t really mind. When Nix got home I had jumped up on the sofa and was fast asleep. I didn’t actually hear her come in until she started panicking. She couldn’t find her phone and decided it must have fallen out of her pocket at the church. She had taken her coat off and chucked it on a pew but thankfully some of the others found it and put it somewhere safe. Can I tell you Nix was panic stricken, there is no way she could have got a new one and she had no idea how she could cope without one. 



Rita came round for coffee and a chat so that was very nice. Nix had realised the car’s MOT runs out in a week so we left with Rita and walked round to the garage to book it in. It’s now nearly dark and Nix has only taken one photograph of moi with the duck that I found. It’s not really good enough is it… a blog with no photos. I notice she managed to get one of her and Rita but was so appalled at how awful she looked she’s edited herself out 🤣



Very excited to say that we have sheep in the field near the airport. Nix says we can go and see them maybe tomorrow and also there are now more than twenty swans on the Widewater Lagoon so we might go to see them too.

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
