A Day Of Rest 😴



 It is a day of rest today isn’t it, well I’ve been resting quite a lot.  Nix has lots of things to do when we get to church so I do like to accompany her. Once she finally sits down I get comfortable in my bed and I don’t usually wake up again until the service is over. I usually hear the children come in at the end but I know I have another ten minutes or so, they are my snooze button. When we get to the church hall I wait for my biscuit and then I usually doze off because Nix can be forever chatting to people.

After we left the church hall today we drove to the pet shop and I think I might have slept through Nix going in to buy me treats which is slightly annoying because I prefer to choose my own. As it turns out she made good choices, turkey, venison and rabbit. 



I am still taking my tablets in the mozzarella which I like very much but I think Nix is a bit bored trying to mould it all together, apparently it’s very crumbly. The good thing is I only have three more weeks for the antibiotics so that will soon be over and then I won’t have as many tablets to take. Apparently, you can get mozzarella balls which Nix is going to buy tomorrow. 



It’s quite cold here in the UK and for some reason I like to be outside especially at night. Nix has a choice really…she can close the door each time I come inside but then I will wake her up a couple of hours later to go out again. I usually wake her up about three times during the night so she has decided now to leave the door open all night and have her electric blanket on low for the whole night too. She says she is very cosy in bed as long as she doesn’t move anything because the rest of the room is freezing. As usual, a slight exaggeration 🙂


A special prize this week goes to Kathy Tasker who wondered 

why I needed treats to take my tablets and couldn’t Nix just open my mouth and pop the tablet in and then stroke my throat so I would swallow it 🤣🤣🤣 The very mention of this to my vet Bron sent her into a sort of chilling panic attack. No one goes in my mouth, not Nix, not the vet and not even the vet nurses but Kathy is welcome to come and have a go…if she dares 😉

    I understand Fripp. My Beardie, Molly, would not take her medicine unless I hid it in treat. As long as you take the meds, that is what's most impportant. Love you! xxxxoooo

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...

RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 😪

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...
