Adur Rec Today…



 I really don’t understand humans sometimes. They make something that should be really simple very very difficult. For instance, I have been waking Nix up on numerous occasions during the night because I want to go out. She gets up, she opens the door, she makes herself a cup of tea and then after about 20 minutes she comes and gets me and I go back indoors and go back to bed. An hour or so later I might want to do the same again and then again maybe. I should’ve thought it was fairly obvious that I need to be able to go outside when I want to go outside. Finally last night the penny dropped but not before she shut me out of the bedroom. That didn’t last long because she felt guilty so she let me in again and let me out into the garden. She then decided she would just leave the garden door open all night long….finally the penny drops. Yes, the door happens to be in her bedroom and yes it probably will be a bit cold but she’s got the electric blanket. Once the door was permanently open, she went to sleep and never woke up again until this morning… job done. When I say job done, I didn’t do a job in the garden because that’s not why I go out there, I just like to look at the stars. 




We went for a walk to Adur Rec at lunchtime so that was very nice. We didn’t go through the little wood because there were some youths in there and they looked a bit dodgy Nix said. We walked across the Rec and along by the river and to be honest, that was enough for me. We went home for me to have my lunch and then we headed over to the church hall where Nix was helping with the afternoon craft time for the children. I stayed in the car and went to sleep and I was rather comfortable actually.  I probably wouldn’t really be allowed in with all the children anyway so it’s a good job I fell asleep quite quickly. Nix could see me from the kitchen but she said she came out every 15 minutes just to make sure I was still asleep. 




Tomorrow we are collecting Trish to drive her to Church and then if the day is quite nice, we might go to Brooklands Park to have some lemon drizzle cake in their café 😋

    You are so much fun Fripp! I am glad you were able to go out whenever you wanted to. Good thing Nix got the electric blanket! I understand your wanting to go out. A chap gets bored sleeping too much. The Adur Rec appears to be very nice. I do hope you get some lemon drizzle tomorrow. Sleep well tonite.

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...
