Trip To The Groomers, I Smell Very Nice Apparently šŸ™‚

 


So I’ve been for my groom this morning. Nix wasn’t looking forward to the drive as storm Nelson was due to hit first thing. Nix had my waterproof coat with her but when we came out of the groomers it was quite sunny. We seem to have missed the worst of it so far but it might come later.





Once Nix has dropped me off she likes to go into the little Aldi shop. They had the small donut beds in there and they were really great. Nix thought the nearest big Aldi was a couple of hours away but the very helpful lady in there said there is a brand new one in Rustington which is only 30 minutes away.  I don’t really need any more beds but they are really cheap so we might drive over there next week as my original donut has seen better days and the covers don’t come off so it’s a bit grubby. 





After Nix has been to Aldi she walks down to the coffee shop but this entails crossing the level crossing which she is terrified of at the best of times. She was just picking her way across trying not to step on the metal rails even though they aren’t live or anything. She was halfway across when the alarms went off and they are really loud. They nearly gave Nix a heart attack apparently, I wish I’d been there to see it. 




We were going to church this evening so Nix could get her feet washed but she’s still coughing a bit and she doesn’t want to disturb everyone. We’ll go to the outside service tomorrow over in the churchyard and definitely to the sunrise one on the beach on Easter Sunday but this evening we’ll rest up. 



Nix was a bit worried when I wasn’t in my bed when she woke up but no need to worry, there were no puddles šŸ˜‡

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 hos...

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 ...

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 y...
