Vets This Morning For My Flush



 I forgot to tell you yesterday that I was going for my flush this morning. We managed to make it on time but it was very foggy. The good thing about the fog was that Nix wasn’t able to see the actual cliffs. She said just knowing they were there was enough to put her stomach in a knot but she was very brave. Bron wasn’t going to do a culture or bloods this time as everything’s been fine recently but after I had my procedure she was just a little worried as my wee was a bit cloudy and when she withdrew the special needle (which doesn’t go in my skin) there was a little bit of blood. Because of my history of Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia she thought it was best to check my platelets. She is also going to get a culture done just to be on the safe side.  





On the way home from seeing Bron we called in to see Caroline an old friend from church in London. She lives in Saltdean now which is very near the vets and her dog Lottie goes to see Bron as well. When we got there Lottie was out with a dog walker but she arrived home just in time to get her photo taken. I think she was surprised to find me asleep on the floor 🙂




Bron just called and my platelets are fine but we shall have to wait a while for the culture results. I am also a little anaemic but that probably goes with my kidney issues and Bron isn’t worried, it’s just a bit borderline at the moment and she will keep an eye on it. 



Not too much news today as we spent most of it travelling. Now we are home I like sleeping in my small bed with my head on the floor. Nix thinks it’s weird, I think it’s normal 🙂

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
