Bit Badly Behaved Today…Apparently 🫢



 We didn’t go to meditation this morning because a very kind man had offered to help us with the curtains in the church hall and we were meeting him. The curtains were all hanging off and it was almost impossible to close them so Nix asked on one of the local forums for recommendations. One lovely chap called Matt offered to come and look and not charge us. Kay and Nix  met him there this morning and he not only fixed the curtains but he cleaned all the window frames too where we couldn’t reach. He was telling Nix that he used to be a builder but now he was a carer for his wife who is mainly in a wheelchair and he taught marshall arts to kids too which helped keep them off the streets. He told Nix he wasn’t a churchgoer but he liked to help people. Nix told him he was as kind as most Christians she knew. We think we will ask for his wife to be put in the prayer book so she can get prayed for regularly. He said whenever we needed anything done to just ask him and if he could he would do it. Three cheers for Matt 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼



Anyway, while all this good work was going on, I was being completely ignored! I tried barking, didn’t work. I tried humping Nix’s leg, didn’t work. I even chewed my lead in half and that only worked once Nix had seen it! She’s not happy, probably won’t do that again especially as I only have one left and no lead,  no walks…apparently 🫢




When I fell in the lagoon the other day I did quite enjoy being wet, it was lovely and cooling. I’m not allowed to go over the pebbles now and so Nix decided to drive me down to the river where it’s flat and I don’t have to climb at all. It’s a bit industrial but I’m not bothered, the water is still wet.





Tomorrow morning we are going to St. Mary’s because it is tea and cake time and they are also having strawberry teas 😋


Nix has thought a bit more about my strange behaviour ie chewing my lead in half and thinks I might have to go back on my Reconcile. She’s got a message in for Bron because now she’s come to think about it I am quite restless at the moment so we’ll see what Bron has to say.

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...
