It's Nyx

Hi, I'm Nyx the Border Collie, posh name Dreamwork Notorious. I live at Dreamwork HQ with long-suffering Management, and my family, the Dreamworks.

This page is my life and times with them.

14/07/2024

We have been on another adventure. I like adventures because Management makes a garden we can run round and round. I am good at that.

Management took me shopping. She would not buy me the octopus I needed - something to do with it being too large for the washing machine. She bought me a small octopus instead, but it isn't as good.

I also found a new tuggy in a bucket at a stand. It's not stealing if Management pays for it. It was rabbit skin and fleece.

I got peckish in the garden, so I ate my rabbit skin.

My new tuggy is broken. I don't know how that happened.

07/07/2024

Management took us on another adventure so I could meet more of my friends.

She did not book the weather, and sometimes it rained.

I met lots of lovely people, including my Auntie Nix, who has the same name but doesn't spell it right.

I also met two Sheltie puppies, who were clearly part of some weird subculture, so I hid behind Management's legs to protect her.

I also discovered agility is very fast and exciting, and I can see it from a really long way away, so I cheer very loudly.

Everyone said how lovely and calm I am too.

I dug some very good holes too.

06/07/2024

Management has dressed me up stupid.

28/06/2024

Good evening.

I took Management training this evening. She was very good. She learned to give me lots of cheese if I sit still. She also learned to give me lots of cheese if I didn't eat the piece on the floor. Seems counterintuitive, but believe me, it works.

Then we had a go with a wobble board. This is a round board with a bump on the bottom so it tips over when you put your front feet on it. I think mine was broken because when I stood on it I balanced perfectly, but I still got cheese so that was good. The instructor said it was because I have a strong core already, but I don't think I have one of those. I will ask Management to buy me one next time she goes shopping.

Now we are home, Management wants to watch Glastonbury, so Kilian, Fiction and I are hooning around at top speed, to give her more of a festival experience. Good times.

19/06/2024

I have been very helpful today.

Management had a big meeting with all the most important people in her computer this morning, so I found Things to Do all on my own.

First, I played carrot farming, but I got bored of that because some of the carrots are missing.

Then I discovered my waterbowl is the Best Toy Evah. I threw it all over the bed. It bounces. Who knew?

That was so much fun, I just had to celebrate with the zoomies. That's quite a challenge in a small room, but I bossed it! It's a talent.

I think the meeting went very well.

16/06/2024

We have been on an adventure! Management took us to an agility show. This is where lots of people go to meet me and tell me I am gorgeous (well obviously!).

I met some new breeds of dog. I met a Basset, which is a dog almost entirely made of carpet; a Xolo, which is a small, snappily-dressed wipe clean dog; and a Golden Retriever which is a big old bag of happy.

Lots of people gave me treats and cuddles and tickle tummy. I went shopping and found a tuggy that I need, so I took it.

I am not at all tired now we are home 🥱 😴 💤

12/06/2024

Management was out today, which I'm not sure I approve of. I was very pleased to see her when she got home. She did not bring me a present.

Tonight was our last training session so I had to show a trick I had taught Management. I wanted to do a trick called Middle, which is where you spin round and back between Management's legs and lay down. My brother Kilian can do it so it must be easy.

Because Management was Out during the day, we hadn't got any last minute practice in, so frankly, anything could happen. Fortunately, I saved the day by throwing in a few extra moves, like a paw and a spin. I think I impressed everyone. Management just about kept up.

When we graduated, we were given a sustificate and a ribbon. Management and I have slightly different ideas of whose ribbon it is.

09/06/2024

Management decided to get a family photo on our walk this morning. She said "I don't know why I bother", so I think she is pleased with the result.

I'm sure you will agree, we are a very good looking family. This is me (of course), my Mummy Fiction, big brother Kilian and Auntie Heaven.

04/06/2024

I'm sorry, I don't understand what I have done wrong 😕 🤷‍♀️

26/05/2024

I have been on an adventure with Management today. We walked down to Pets at Home, which is a shop where they sell cuddles and treats. I got lots of both.

Please note, it is NOT a buffet.

Management said I absolutely definitely do not need any more toys as I have hundreds, so I only got a small pink Unicorn.

I met a Dachshund the same age as me. That's a dog they forgot to put legs on. And all the staff were talking about me because I am gorgeous (dur).

We walked back along the canal, which has water instead of road. That might explain why there were no cars. We saw an ice cream van, so Management got one and let me try it. We will be having that again!

24/05/2024

Good evening.

Friday is ringcraft night, so Management tried a little training collar on me first. She then promptly lost it and spent ages looking for it everywhere. Perhaps I should have told her I was still wearing it.

I did very well at training, I got Management to do all the right things. The Bull Terriers were there again, and a Bracco, which is a hound that reimagined itself as a gundog.

Ringcraft is fun, you get lots and lots of treats, so I try really hard.

22/05/2024

Good evening.

Wednesday is Management's training class. We couldn't go last week because she broke Van Van. Apparently you need working windscreen wipers because of the British weather. Who knew?

Fortunately, she wasn't behind all the other Management and she did well as we practiced important things like how to run through the middle of a picnic. I got to wear my special towel with my name on and had a brush too.

The hardest thing was settle on my mat with scary dinos on. Hello... Nailed it.

21/05/2024

Oliver is very dirty. I don't know how that happened.

20/05/2024

Good evening.

Today, I went to Auntie Drama's agility lesson.

I wasn't supposed to, but I was very sick in the van, so Management thought it would be a good idea. And it was! Oh my goodness, Management needs my help.

Agility is where Management runs around pointing at obstacles in the vain hope that Drama will do them. She even got some right.

I got to watch the others working too. One was a Belgian Shepherd, which is what happens when you put long legs and a long nose on a furry rug. Another one was a spaniel, which is basically just wiggle. And I also said hello to an Irish Wolfhound, which is a horse that thinks it's a dog. Or maybe it's the other way around. Hard to tell.

18/05/2024

Good morning.

Last night, I took Management to a new training, called ring craft. This is where I teach her to win prizes. There are shows where you can take your Management and the judge will decide whose is best. I have work to do.

There were some Bull Terriers at the training. They are part dog, part boulder.

I had to walk Management up and down the hall and then a lady gave me lots of treats, so I had lots of fun. I think this will be a good game we play.

10/05/2024

Management has well and truly lost the plot tonight.

We did some fun training in the garden and a big game of tug. Normally when it starts getting dark, that means it's Horlicks Half Hour, so I can have Management all to myself and play Carrot Farm on her bed. Management is a bit grumpy if she doesn't get enough sleep.

Only tonight, we stayed outside. Management said she wanted to see Aurora. I don't know who that is, but I think it might be one of the people who lives in her phone.

We stayed outside for ages and Management kept taking photos of the sky instead of getting my supper ready. These are some of her pictures. She says they are really magical and pretty, but being a dog I don't see colour in the same way, so they just look dark.

It made Management very happy, so happy that she put some freeze dried chicken on my supper to make up for being late, so I will let her off this once.

08/05/2024

Good evening.

I have been on an adventure. I took Management to Puppy School, where she can learn how to be sociable. It's very important work, and she needs me to supervise, but it is good for her to get out.

The point of Puppy School is to give you lots and lots of treats. Management did not get treats.

My sister Kes was there. I think we were best.

Training Management is lots and lots of fun and it's not tiring at all. I wanted to do lots of running and running when I got home and I don't want to go to bed ye... 💤😴💤😴

08/05/2024

This morning, I helped Management take my brother Kilian for a walk in The Out.

I saw lots of cars and bikes. Bikes are weird. Management gives you treats when you see them though, which is good.

You are not supposed to go into people's gardens, even the ones that are really interesting. A missed opportunity, in my opinion.

I also learned that when boy dogs lift a leg up, this is not an invitation to walk underneath. Euw.

I also saw a very suspicious plant. I suspect it may in fact be an alien, or a politician in disguise. I watched it for a very long time, but the sneaky was not giving anything away. I will monitor the situation and report back.

04/05/2024

Someone has left boiled quail egg crumbs in Management's bed.

It can't have been me, because I don't really like them 🤷‍♀️

02/05/2024

Today, I have exercised my democratic right to vote.

Dogs should run the country.

01/05/2024

I. Have. Discovered. CHEESE!!!!

🧀

30/04/2024

Life hack... leaping out and pouncing on Management's feet is Not a Good Thing.

Unrelated, Management fell over.

😇

29/04/2024

Good evening.

My favourite time of day is just before bedtime, the Horlicks Half Hour. It's just me and Management, and I can play with my favourite knot toy, pull all the carrots out of my carrot farm and then drink her Horlicks. Apparently, you are not supposed to chew the duvet cover, but I thought it would match the small hole in the pillow case. I don't know how that happened.

Tonight, Management has been training with my aunties in agility. Agility is an exciting sport where hopefully what Management does and what Management is supposed to do match. When that happens, it is called a clear round. My aunties are very patient with her.

I had a big sleep while they were training, so I have saved my best zoomies for the Horlicks Half Hour. You can really get some bounce on the bed. Good times.

26/04/2024

Good evening.

I have been quiet for a few days because I ate a load of fluff and mud that gave me tummy ache.

I have learned nothing and will eat it again.

I have felt much better today though, and have been able to help Management more. I was particularly thoughtful and had zoomies while she was speaking to some new people in her computer. I know she likes that.

I can climb out of accommodation now too, so more adventure ahead!

21/04/2024

I have had a weekend of adventure, and now I am too excited to sleep.

On Friday, I had my first vaccination, which is where you go to the vets and have cuddles with the nurses. My Fiction Mummy had to come too, so Management had acquired a puppy carrier for me, which is like a large handbag. It was surprisingly not a disaster.

On Saturday, Auntie Drama had a scentwork lesson. This is where she finds things the lady hides and she is very good at it. I got to meet some new people and have more cuddles. I was very tired when I got home and had a big sleep.

Then today we have been to see Granny Klara. Granny is funny and likes to play and give me ham. I helped her with the gardening a little bit and I ran round the paddock with my family. Then I had a big sleep while Management had dinner, so now I am wide.

I have got a new butterfly toy because I have hardly any toys and nowhere to sleep.

17/04/2024

You cannot prove I have been digging.

14/04/2024

Hello.

Today has been terribly hard work. First of all, Management did teachings with me and Oliver. Which we were brilliant at, obviously, because treats.

Then Oliver's new Management came to fetch him. She is really lovely and gave me lots of cuddles as well as him. We said bye bye and he has gone to live in Yorkshire, which is Far Away.

So now I am in charge. As you can see, it's a tough gig, but I've started as I mean to go on, in comfort.

08/04/2024

Good evening.

Today has been very tiring.

I decided I could be of more assistance to Management while she talks to the people in her computer if I climbed out of accommodation. So I did. Twice. Oliver still can't climb out.

Management didn't appreciate my efforts at all, although perhaps that was because I peed on her favourite blankie. Oops.

I am 9 weeks old today.

07/04/2024

Hello.

I have been on an adventure today. I did a brave and went out just me and Management. I was dressed up special with my Dreamwork Notorious bandana on. Management has managed to catch up with the washing and now has clean clothes. She accidentally dressed matchy matchy.

First we went to the tip. That was boring, because I just sat in my crate. Apparently, my brothers and sisters had produced rubbish faster than the bin men could take away.

Then we went to Starbucks. This is where people who need cuddles go. Management got a coffee, and I ate treats out of my pod. Several people came up who needed to meet me. I was proud of myself for spreading some joy.

Then we went to Auntie Katy's shop. Auntie Katy was not there. I still made Management buy all the things, including piggy noses and a brilliant butterfly toy.

Yesterday I tried a beef rib. I didn't really like it. Piggy noses are better.

I think Management was expecting it to be quieter tonight. There are biscuits everywhere. I don't know how that happened. We had a loooooong sleep this afternoon so I'm not ready to settle do... ooh, yak bar!
