Rita Came To Visit Today 🙂



 I meant to say yesterday that Nix and I have our night time routine worked out perfectly. She goes to sleep, I wake her up by getting caught behind the blinds, she opens the door to let me out and then uses her Heath Robinson affair to make sure the door will stay exactly halfway open. I have a long drink of water from the bowl in the garden, gaze at a few stars and depending on my mood and the weather, either come back inside and go to bed or go to sleep in the garden. This generally happens three times each night which Nix seems to think is too many but it suits me perfectly 🙂 She was so tired last night that she let me out at midnight and went back to bed and didn’t wake up again until this morning! I actually came straight back in at midnight and slept in my bed in front of the open door…very nice 😴


I felt quite energetic this morning after a good night’s sleep and so decided we should walk a little way up the beach. I really enjoyed that but I don’t trot any longer, I can only really manage a  fastish walk and I am quite tired when we get home. 



Rita came to visit this morning which was very nice but I don’t hear the doorbell these days so I didn’t know she was here until later on. When she was ready to leave we walked back into town with her and stopped for a coffee at Ginger & Dobbs. We met a very nice lady who saw my ‘DEAF DOG’ sign but thought it was Nix who was deaf and I was her assistance dog 🤣



As soon as we said goodbye to Rita and set off home it started to rain so we got a bit wet on the way back but the bungalow was nice and warm and Nix got me nice and dry too. I quite like getting wet.  While Nix was waiting for Rita she was looking on YouTube for one of their favourite songs to sing and she found some videos of me when I was much younger. It made her cry a bit, well actually quite a lot. Nix might be able to find the one of me being annoyed by my friend Lucy when we lived in Hove. I think I was about six.

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...

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...

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 ...
