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

Apparently I’m Always in the Way

Image
So Nix doesn’t understand why I am always behind her, she said it’s starting to annoy her apart from being very dangerous. She says if she falls over me and breaks her hip who’s going to look after me. Have you seen her hips, it’d take a sledgehammer to break one of those. Anyway she keeps saying there’s only one way out of the bungalow so I don’t need to follow her around everywhere. That’s not strictly true because there are doors at the back and a door at the side. She could escape without me through any of those...I must be vigilant at all times. So now she has settled down to finish getting my blog into print and it really is painful to watch. She says it takes twelve taps on the iPad to add one photograph on one day of the blog. She also says if there are thirty days in the month that will take her 360 taps. She’s got six months left to do... I shouldn’t hold your breath for this blog if I was you.  There will of course be a quicker way to do it which she will discover next year
