Nix And Rita Went For A Swim Today In The Sea šŸ™‚



 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 šŸ„°



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 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...
