Uschi on Holiday

Alison — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:56:31 +0000

In July we spent a week on holiday in Devon, Uschi had a great time seeing the sights and relaxing in the garden of the holiday let we stayed at.

Peering over the wall to see what’s going on.

Mint Choc Chip ice cream? Yes please! Sorry Uschi, dogs aren’t allowed chocolate…

Relaxing at the holiday let

It wasn’t that cold but we lit the lovely wood burner anyway and Uschi loved it

On a river cruise

Enjoying Dartmouth waterfront

On a steam train!

And very, very tired on the way back on the train.

Being nosey…

Enjoying the sunshine

Being nosey again…

…and again

Uschi had a great holiday!

Uschi on Holiday

We went on holiday last month and had a beautiful and relaxing week away in Cumbria on the coast. Uschi had at least 2 long walks a day and so she was in her element! We stayed at a harbour cottage in the little coastal village of Haverigg.

And walking on the sea defences at Haverigg.

Uschi loves snow!!

More of Uschi on Holiday

As promised, here are some more photographs of Uschi on our recent holiday in Anglesey, North Wales, UK.

We spent a lot of time walking on the gorgeous beaches of Anglesey.

She loves to splash about in water and gets pretty soggy!

She loves chewing seaweed stalks.

She loves running about.

A lots of photographs of Uschi are actually like this one… she moves pretty fast!

Some of the beaches had snow on them (this was the first week of 2010 when, unusually, the UK had snow pretty much everywhere).

Just stunning landscapes.

At the end of a tiring day a dog needs to rest. It’s especially nice to have a blanket to keep you extra warm and comfy.

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!

Uschi at Linacre Reservoirs, Chesterfield, Derbyshire

Alison — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 18:26:56 +0000

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

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!

Dashing About

Uschi and I went to watch a running event this weekend and Uschi got her own chance to dash about with a Greyhound called Joe He was very, very fast; even too quick for Uschi!

And here are just a few of Uschi posing while we waited for the event to get started

She’s got some spots on her nose because she decided to try and bury the last tiny piece of a chew using only her nose… not a great idea Uschi!

Uschi in Liverpool

Alison — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:45:07 +0000

Recently we went to visit family in Liverpool and while we were there we went and did a few touristy things. We went for a ride on the Mersey Ferry and Uschi came too! It was her first trip on a boat and it was all a bit scary at first but once she got used to it she quite enjoyed it all!

Uschi likes to pose with Daddy outside the Royal Liver Building.

And then a shot of her on her own outside the Royal Liver Building.

Festival Fun

Recently we went to a family event: our cousin had her 50th birthday and to celebrate she had organised, along with 3 other friends all turing 50, a “Fifties Festival” where they hired a field and ran their own festival of celebrations. They had a hog roast, juggling, singing, a céilidh, pampering and making ceramic pots amongst other things! We joined in with some of the fun and Uschi came along too.

Paddy enjoys the celebrations too.

Izzy the Sprocker always looks so happy!

Izzy likes to sit on your knee.

I can’t remember this chap’s name but he was enjoying the evening sunshine

Uschi thought it was all fabulous!

Jack found himself a comfy spot.

We took Uschi, Jack and Izzy for a walk.

It was really warm so they all enjoyed going for a swim.

Chocolate is not for dogs

Alison — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:26:15 +0000

Chocolate is toxic to dogs, but Uschi doesn’t know that and always looks lovingly at any chocolate cake nearby. She just doesn’t understand why she never gets to share!

I haven’t seen it, honest…

Ok, so I might have noticed…

Why can’t I have some???!

We obviously couldn’t give her any cake, but she was still happy

Uschi and the ducks

Alison — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 21:00:03 +0000

We took Uschi for an afternoon walk in Whiteley Woods in Sheffield.

There is a place called Forge Dam where there are a lot of ducks. Uschi loves to watch the ducks and likes to bark at them sometimes. They are rather frightening.
