Beth, Buckingham Park And Paperwork



 Quite a busy day today for Nix though I have slept for a lot of it. This morning we went to collect Beth from the station and Nix was going to put some highlights in her hair. When that was done, we dropped Beth back at the station and Nix and I went off to Buckingham Park. I feel much better in myself today and not so grumpy.




After we’d been home for an hour or so, we had to go back out again round to Kay‘s because Nix and Kay were doing some churchwarden paperwork. We’ve only just got home now so I think I might have another rest.





I’ve stopped taking my antibiotics again so Nix called Bron to talk about maybe a long lasting antibiotic injection. It turns out there is one that lasts 14 days but because of my autoimmune situation that would be a big risk that it might knock my platelets out. If that happened, the antibiotic would be in my blood for 14 days and there would be nothing they could do to stop it happening. Nix has been thinking hard about it  🙏  and she’s made the decision definitely not to give me the injection and if I don’t want the antibiotics in custard creams or pâté or whatever then I won’t have them. I go for two of every three months without antibiotics so hopefully I’ll be able to fight off any infections that might come up. I hope you’re all agree that Nix has made the right decision, I think she has and it’s what I would like.

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...
