Day Of Bright Ideas



Nix is so sorry the blog is so late, it’s just been one of those days. 





It rained quite a lot overnight but thankfully it had stopped by the time we went out this morning. We were grateful that it had stopped but someone should tell the snails which cover the beach paths and the boardwalk when it’s wet either from the rain or from the dew…yuck when you tread on one 🫢 It didn’t stop us enjoying quite a short walk as we would be leaving for church shortly after we got back. 



I slept through most of the service except when Nix went up for communion when I woke up. I just opened one eye and went back to sleep again. I knew she would come back for me and to be quite honest I couldn’t be bothered to actually stand up. 



Speaking of me standing up Nix thinks she has made a discovery. She has been very worried about my inability to get out of the car. I wobble around when I first get up and I’m a bit nervous to step out. It’s not very high but my back legs wobble so it’s a bit difficult to take off. Anyway…it suddenly dawned on Nix that the reason I might be more wobbly in the back of the car than anywhere else might be the fact she’d put all that foam in the back to make it more level. It is indeed much much comfortable when you’re laying down but it’s a bit springy when you try to stand up so tomorrow Nix will take it all out and make it more level with something firmer. I wouldn’t mind but this afternoon she’s been looking at those buggy thingies that she could push me around in. She thought if I can’t get in and out of the car how would we get places like church. The buggy is only six inches off the ground so would be perfect but quite expensive. The next idea was to get one of those sling thingies to support my weight. She found a very nice one, sheepskin lined and very nearly ordered it but decided to wait a bit. Good job eh, saved herself a few bob because I do not need a sling or a buggy, I am quite capable of managing…at the moment.




One of Nix’s churchwarden jobs this weekend was to lock the church up for the night this evening. We did that and then went for a little walk on the grassy bit of the beach 🙂

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
