Nix And Rita Went For A Swim Today In The Sea 🙂



 First of all, I have very good news about moi. We heard from Bron and my urine is now perfectly acidic and I’m to carry on with my Urinaid probably forever. It’s dangerous for me for my urine to be too alkaline because that’s what causes the stones and I definitely don’t want any more of those. Bron has gone on her annual holiday and she has asked Nix to look after me while she’s gone 🥰



We had a very nice evening yesterday. We set off to walk to the bridge to meet Linda but she beat us to it. We stopped off at the fish and chip shop and then took our food home and ate it in the garden. When Linda was ready to go home we walked back with her a little way for my final walk of the day. She goes home tomorrow but we are hoping to meet for coffee in the morning. 


This morning we drove over to Hove very early to collect a piece of trellis. Nix’s clematis is growing so quickly she needs some more support for it. The trellis is a bit too big so Nix is hoping one of our neighbours will help her to fix it up. I also have some very excellent news re the Flamingo Tree. Nix was worried about it because the day we planted it the weather was awful, gale force winds which were really blowing it around. Over the next week or so all the leaves turned brown and Nix thought it was probably the wind but she hoped it would pick up next year. But…guess what…when Nix looked at it today the branches are covered in green shoots. Nix is very excited about this and of course as a gardener myself I understand her excitement.




Later on this morning Rita came over and she and Nix went for their first dip in the sea this year. It was amazing apparently and quite warm. I was asleep when they left and still asleep when they got back. I would say I didn’t believe they actually went in the sea but they have photos to prove it. 


This afternoon we headed to the church hall because Nix had a meeting there. I had a little walk in the shade first of all and then I slept on the cool floor in the hall while they did their meeting. 


We’re home now and it’s still very hot. Nix says once it cools down she will take me for a lovely walk along 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
