Nix Is A Bit Poorly… 😔

 


So Nix has been diagnosed with a chest infection. It’s all come on a bit quick so took her by surprise. She was fine when she went out for lunch yesterday and then during home group last night she started coughing. By this morning she was really poorly so unlike her, she called the doctor. He said he’d like to listen to her chest so off she went leaving me asleep at home. Apparently the doctor was very handsome and I think it threw Nix out a bit as she was expecting someone older. Anyway he was asking her disgusting questions about phlegmy stuff and Nix answered with what one can only describe as a double entendre. I am French of course so I know exactly what this is and all I can say is I’m so glad I wasn’t there. As soon as it came out of Nix’s mouth she realised what she’d said and the doctor was smiling and said something like, “Really!” Nix said she couldn’t decide whether to explain herself or leave it so she decided to leave it and get out of there. Anyway he’s given her some antibiotics and told her how she can fix her deaf ear so she got her money’s worth…well it’s free actually but at least she gave probably the entire surgery a good laugh. Don’t even bother to ask what she said because to he honest we’d all get put into Facebook jail if she repeated it 🤣🤣🤣




We’ve been to the beach but it is very miserable out there and Nix doesn’t feel brilliant so I didn’t mind coming home quickly. The tide was very high and I was getting too close to the waves so I had to go on my lead so it was a bit boring anyway.  Now we’re home and she’s coughing and sneezing both of which I dislike intensely so I’ve taken myself as far away from the lounge as possible. Being deaf does help of course 🙂




Sadly we’ll have to miss our Friday morning, don’t want to be infecting anyone. She’s already worried about lunch yesterday…bit too much hugging going on I expect 🙄

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
