Hove Lagoon Today, Took A Bit Of A Dive 🫢



 Oh dear I have had two incidents today and they’ve both been Nix’s fault. First of all this morning she omitted to mention that there was a board missing on the boardwalk. My foot went down it unexpectedly and I fell over. I landed on my side on the pebbles and I couldn’t get up again until Nix gave me a hand. It didn’t bother me but it really scared Nix. She wrote to the council when we got home and said she’d witnessed a very frightening fall there and if it had happened to her she would be on to her solicitor. She’s expecting it to get fixed pronto. It’s a miracle actually that Nix didn’t fall over it 🤣





This afternoon we decided to visit the old stomping ground. Not so much stomping going on these days but I do enjoy a meander round Hove Lagoon. In one part of the lagoon there is a sort of slip way which goes gradually into the water so it’s very shallow. Thing is there’s a bit of a drop on the side and I walked straight over it. It was a bit scary but actually I can swim quite well. Trouble was I couldn’t get out again so Nix had to walk down the slipway which had all that green slippy stuff on and haul me out by my collar. I had quite an audience by this time so I quite enjoyed it but my back legs wouldn’t work properly at first. It didn’t take long though for me to regain my strength and I was off. On the way home Nix stopped off at the garage to get some cake and guess what I did.. I managed to climb up on the front passenger seat. So then Nix had no idea how she was going to get me out of the car because the passenger seat it much higher than my usual exit so she decided she’d go inside and get a towel to support me. Lot of fuss about nothing really because as she was getting out of the car I barged past her and jumped out of the drivers side. Okay I was a bit wobbly but all was well in the end though Nix actually looked quite pale 🫢





Jackie has been round for a cup of tea and a chat so that was very nice. She noticed I looked really curly and I think it quite suits me. I’ve just had a short walk round the block to make sure my legs are working poperly and I think all is well. Bron can look at them when we go for our appointment which is Thursday by the way, not Wednesday.

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 ...

Christmas Is Coming And We Have New Vicar 😋

Image
So we had a very exciting morning at church…actually Nix did, I was asleep for most of it. Nix and the other churchwarden Kay were able to announce to the church that they have a new vicar. They have been unable to tell anyone about it until certain checks had been done so it’s been quite difficult for them. Now everyone knows and we are all looking forward to Rev Dominic Fenton coming to join us. He had to tell his church this morning that he would be leaving so that would’ve been quite difficult for him I should imagine. I had my photo taken with Nicky and Donald after the service, they brought me biscuits 😋 We have a carol service this evening so we’ll be going back just after 5 o’clock as we’re on welcoming duty. Nix has got some fairy lights to wear around her neck but she’s not sure what the rules are in the Church of England. They’re quite fussy about when they turn the lights on and when they don’t so she needs to check that it’s okay.  I don’t think I’ll do that well for wa...
