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 🤣🤣🤣 Don’t worry it’s not true, you know how she likes to exaggerate 🙄 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 😋





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

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
