I’ve Had A Couple Of Falls 🫣

 


So I had a couple of falls yesterday. Nix says once you get over 60 you don’t ’fall over’ you ‘have a fall’ so as I’m definitely over 60 that’s what I had. It happened when we were walking round the block last night and it has happened before but not very often. I fell twice last night and fell again when we got home. It really scared Nix especially as Bron is now away for almost two weeks. 



We only went round the block this morning and I didn’t fall at all but Nix says my back legs look quite wobbly. She has taken a couple of videos for you clever people to look at.  My back legs have been weak for quite some time so it’s not too sudden though the actual falling is. Nix says to remind you that I don’t have a ball joint in one of my back legs but we don’t know which one. Nix has never bothered to find out because it would mean an anaesthetic for an X-ray. 



So as we haven’t really been anywhere today and I don’t think we shall be going anywhere interesting, there won’t be many photos I’m afraid. Nix has been gardening instead and has cut down another huge Phormium because it was stopping her…and moi…from getting behind the summerhouse. Once she’d got rid of most of the plant I was delighted because for the first time the base of the trachelospermum was in view. This plant is very precious to Nix and she didn’t want me tidying it up for some reason so there have always been barriers like plant pots and things. The Phormium was mainly getting in my way but now that’s gone I thought I might get straight in there if my legs allow of course. Imagine my shock when I found my route had been blocked…by a fence. Back in the day I’d have been straight over the top of that. 



Anyway have a look at the videos and see what you think. My legs don’t really bother me though I don’t like it so much when I fall over. I’m still trying to work out a way to get behind that fence 🤔

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...
