Brooklands Park With Trish

 


Nix and I had a very good night last night. She went to bed at about 10.30pm and I was already asleep in another room. After she finished reading, she opened the door to the garden and turned the light out. She went straight to sleep you know without a care in the world about me. Having said that she did wake up at 2 am and wonder where I was. She got out of bed and did a tour of the bungalow but I was nowhere to be seen. Guess what? I was asleep in the garden and guess what again, she left me there. She then went back to bed and went to sleep again and when she woke up this morning, I was asleep in the lounge in my bed. This regime seems to work well for all parties  concerned so unless it’s raining I think we shall make it a permanent fixture. 



Although the open door method is working well, Bron my vet has been in touch and has recommended something called Xanax which we might try. I would take it just as the sun is setting to help me relax during the night. I am on quite a lot of medication at the moment all to do with my neurological problems so Nix is waiting to ask Bron if I still need to take all of them. Are any other Beardies taking this?



This afternoon we have been to Brooklands Park with our friend Trish. It was very nice to sit outside and enjoy the fact that it wasn’t actually raining. There was no lemon drizzle cake but Nix managed to find one cake that she liked…you know how fussy she is. I was a bit annoyed because it had almonds on it and I’m not really allowed those in case I choke. I could of course had the middle but but Nix decided not to risk it. 



We have a hoover situation here as Nix’s broke this morning. We can’t afford a posh one so Nix was wondering if the Henry is any good. All the cleaning companies seem to use them and they’re quite cheap so Nix is thinking of getting one. I like the pink one, Henrietta…she’s got eyelashes šŸ™‚

    Happy to hear you and Nix are resting well at night. Your day sounds like it was so nice. When the hoover is not working, it is frustrating! I hope Nix finds an affordable one that she likes. I know humans who take Xanax, I did not know dogs could take it though. Have a relaxing evening.

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...
