Subtitles And Filing…



 Nix has been filing, this doesn’t happen very often so it always takes a long time. Why she can’t do it every week I have no idea but who am I to comment. Anyway it’s done now and she reckons she can find any document she’s asked for…we’ll see 🙄



Did I tell you about the subtitles keep coming up on the TV. Nix switches them off and then as soon as she changes channel they come back on again. A month or so ago she called Sky and a chap who was very nice but almost impossible to understand helped her to reset the Sky box. It took over half and hour but all was well, for about a day. 





Yesterday she thought she’d better call again and this time she got a chap who was even nicer than the one before but even harder to understand!  She was on the phone for so long doing things to the Sky box and then he sent her into the other room to do the same with the mini box. By the time she’d finished her left hand was really aching from holding the mobile. Thankfully the subtitles disappeared and she was very happy…for about five minutes when they came back on again. The man had promised Nix that he had made a note and if it happened again they would send an engineer out. So…this morning she called again and the chap was trying to get her to reset the box again. You probably don’t need to know what Nix thought about that! Anyway she wrote to the CEO’s office I’m happy to say that she has just received a reply and they have booked an engineer in. Why is everything so complicated for humans!





So, the filing and the Sky calls have taken up most of the day (or most of the Nix’s life if you ask her) but I did still get a walk in Buckingham Park. We met the owner of the bungalow that we stayed in when our bungalow was being done up and he told Nix his dog had just been diagnosed with CKD the same as me. They thought it was the end so he was very happy to know how long I have survived. 


Nix is having one of her vaccinations tomorrow, she can’t remember which one 🙄

    Poor Nix! The TV cable things can be so frustrating! Glad you got your walk to Buckingham Park. Lovely day here, 75 degrees F, warm for this time of year.

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
