Uschi likes sleeping

Uschi demonstrates that she can sleep in a variety of places and a variety of positions!

Uschi Sunbathing

Uschi loves soaking up the sunshine on our decking

Comfy in Grey

Alison — Wed, 11 May 2011 20:25:29 +0000

Uschi and us have been coming to terms with the recent news that she has osteoarthritis in her foreleg. It was a bit of a shock, she’s only 5 years old. The restrictions on walking (short lead walks only) are the worst thing about it. However, we are thinking of new ways of entertaining Uschi, and going places where we can sit and enjoy the good weather we are having at the moment and watch the world go by!

Today has not been a good day though, Uschi is obviously getting some discomfort from her leg, caused by pulling on her lead to try and get near a cat! Unfortunately she doesn’t know how to limit herself.

Anyway, she found a comfy spot when she got back and has been resting since

Retro Uschi

I’ve recently got a new phone and the phone has a camera and a rather jazzy photo application which makes retro looking photos.

Uschi has been used to test out the new photos!

She’s very happy about being photographed

Out and about on a walk at the weekend:

At home wondering why I’m still taking photos of her:

Uschi’s Favourite Things

Alison — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 12:27:15 +0000

Uschi loves her blue squeaky bone. It’s very strong and she hasn’t managed to destroy it yet!

“Please throw it for me!”

Uschi keeps an eye on things

Alison — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 17:03:02 +0000

Uschi likes to keep an eye on everything and when we are in our home office she sometimes sits up on the sofa and surveys the street from there. Most of the time she sleeps on the sofa, but sometimes she likes to watch

She sits very neatly.

Always alert!

Uschi is very tired

Uschi loves lying on the sofa in the office, she can catch up on some sleep

Her nose has two little pale spots on it

Uschi Relaxes at Home

Alison — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:20:06 +0000

When the weather is nice we put Uschi’s outdoor bed (a Fatboy Doggielounge) on the decking at the back of our house. She likes to sit and watch the birds.

Uschi in the garden with Charlie

Alison — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 10:41:08 +0000

Uschi loves being out in the garden (a.k.a. the yard for those readers over the pond!), she loves it most when the sun is shining.

Charlie also likes to prowl around the garden.

Uschi thinks Charlie is very interesting and likes to follow him around the garden.

Charlie gets a bit fed up of all the attention and invariably ends up swiping Uschi!

A few random shots of Uschi

Alison — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:00:21 +0000

Uschi likes to pose for the camera!

We often go the canal and she finds the ducks rather facinating. If they move too quickly or if they quack at her then she gets very worried

We haven’t had much sun yet this year but every opportunity and Uschi is outside warming herself in the sun.

One of Uschi’s favourite walks is at some local reservoirs and we’ve been going there regularly too.
