Uschi is 4 today!

Happy Birthday to Uschi who is 4 years old today!

We recently went on holiday to Anglesey in North Wales. This is a picture of Uschi near the old lighthouse at Ynys Llanddwyn. We’ll be posting more pictures of Uschi on holiday soon.

Uschi received a squeaky hippo this morning and had destroyed it within 5 minutes - well at least she had some fun with it anyway!

Whoops, we’ve not been keeping the blog up-to-date enough!  Anyway, here are some photos of Uschi on a recent walk around the Linacre Reservoirs near Chesterfield in Derbyshire.

It’s always good to find a stick and the stranger the shape or the bigger the stick, the better.

She doesn’t like walking on the board-walk, it’s all a bit scary.

Uschi likes water, but is frightened of ducks.

Always rushing around.

Uschi likes swimming :)

She tries to drag out the end of every walk - “it’s not time to go yet, surely?!”

We took Uschi for another walk at Linacre Reservoirs near Chesterfield again this morning.  It was a cold morning but after a misty start it turned out lovely and bright.

We met Luna (in the pink collar) and Murphy (partially hidden behind Uschi) while we were on the walk!

There was a lot of sniffing going on.

Then Uschi got a bit mean with Murphy :(

Uschi is mean to Murphy

Here’s a close up of Murphy :D

Murphy and Luna

Uschi likes to paddle and rush about :)

She likes to see what it going on and here she is peering over a dam wall (there are three reservoirs at Linacre, all in a row down the valley).

Here’s one of Uschi posing at the edge of the water.

Uschi’s favourite toy is a squeeky pink flamingo that we call “Flamingo Domingo”.

Flamingo Domingo is slowly losing bits of his wings (and don’t tell Uschi, but he is actually Flamingo Domingo II as the first Flamingo Domingo had to be ‘retired’ after losing his wings and all of his stuffing) but he is Uschi’s favourite thing.

Tasty feet!

It’s exhausting trying to win against such a formidable pink beast.

We took Uschi to a new place for a walk today.  We went to Linacre Reservoirs near Chesterfield.  It’s actually quite close to our house but we’ve never been.  We all really enjoyed the walk so we’ll be going again soon!

The weather was gorgeous.

Here is Uschi by the dam of the highest and largest reservoir with a glimpse of the second reservoir just behind her beyond the trees.  There are three reservoirs in total.

She was very happy…

Here she is looking over the wall of one of the reservoirs.

See - very happy weim :D

She just loves her walks.

What most of my photographs of Uschi actually look like:

This was her slow-timing as we got to the end of the walk!
