Visit To The Vet Today But Just To Pick Up My Medication



 I think today might have just been a tad boring. I did enjoy my croissant at the Parish Centre but to be honest I was asleep for most of the time. When we left we got almost to the footbridge when Nix realised she’d left my bed behind…I mean how can you forget something so important! Anyway once we got home Nix attended to the new clematis which had to be released from its tape stuff and it is now securely fixed to a new cane. All of the sweet peas are fixed the same and now Nix is trying to decide what to plant in the final pot. At first she thought of some kind of small evergreen tree as it’s a huge pot but now she says she’s thinking of putting veggies in there instead. She won’t of course, this is all for dramatic effect as she has had to fork out £300 for my medication and says she can’t afford to buy food for herself, only for moi šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Don’t worry it’s not true, you know how she likes to exaggerate šŸ™„ If she’s serious about the veggies she’d be looking for something that grows quite tall. She liked that squash thingie her neighbour had last year but she doesn’t like squash so maybe some runner beans or something if you have any ideas. 



After our Friday morning I slept right through until gone 2pm this afternoon. We then drove over to the vets at Brighton and they were very pleased to see me as of course we generally go to  Peacehaven now. I got my meds and I got weighed because Nix was a little worried that I might have put on weight due to me perfecting my treat trick. Anyway I weighed just over 20kg which is my normal weight so although Nix was very pleased she was also annoyed because she can’t eat as many treats as I do and not get fat. I know 20kg is very light for a boy Beardie but no need to worry, I went down to 16kg when my kidneys went wrong. 20kg is my usual weight and because my back legs are a bit wobbly I prefer to be a bit lighter. 




I don’t think we’ve got anything planned for this afternoon or evening so I’ll probably stay asleep now until my last walk.  Tomorrow we have tea and hopefully lemon drizzle cake at the Parish Centre šŸ˜‹





Nix just got the St Mary’s parish magazine for May. They have her down as Nix Cuthbert šŸ¤£šŸ¤£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...
