So Cold Today…Like The Winter 🥶



 It’s freezing and Nix has actually put the heating on…this is a very rare occurrence these days. We noticed the cold when we took our evening walk last night. The sky was very pretty but Nix said she just wanted to get home and get warm. When we do get home she gets herself all wrapped up in the fleecy blanket that Anne Floyd sent her all the way from the USA. Just in case you were worried about me I did get toys and treats from Anne too 🙂



Today was church as usual. It was very nice to meet Nick, Liz’s son who is over from Adelaide. I slept through the service as usual apart from one part when I did wake up but I soon went back to sleep again. When we had coffee afterwards I had a couple of bits of biscuit from Nix but then my friend Nicky asked Nix if liked Custard Creams…well do bears poo in the woods! So Nicky went off and got me a whole Custard Cream biscuit all to myself 😋





This afternoon we have been to Adur Rec and took a little meander through the woods. That annoying brown Labrador was there again and Nix was worried he would knock me over. When she saw him heading towards us she stood in between us. The owner was blowing one of those dog whistles. He must think that if you blow one your dog will come like a magic whistle. When that didn’t work he started shouting, “Come” as though that was a magic word and he just had to shout it. I sometimes think it’s the humans of this world that need the training. Did you know I was trained to the whistle but Nix didn’t really use it that often. When I went deaf she tried it again but I couldn’t hear it 😔




Tomorrow Nix has the whole day free but it looks like it’s going to rain so probably more TV bingeing will be in order, I’ll probably be asleep😴

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

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 year
