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!

The Beach

We recently visited the beach with Uschi She can only have shorter walks now because of her front leg, but she still loves being out and about.

and posing with daddy

Uschi on the beach

We went to Merseyside again recently and whenever we go we make sure that we get a couple of walks on the beach. Uschi loves splashing in and out of the sea and she loves the space to run about in.

These shots were taken in the morning, but it looks like sunset. Probably because it was the weekend following the Icelandic volcanic eruption and the ash cloud was effecting the upper atmosphere.

She found a ball: always wonderful to find some treasure on the beach

If stones are roughly ball shaped then they count as found treasure too

Huge, happy, tongue!!!

She runs and runs everywhere, but she never goes too far and likes to keep close to us.

At the end of the walk we met Harvey, a big male weimaraner that Uschi was quite taken with

Nothing better than a good stick

First we must apologise on behalf of Uschi for not posting anything since February… we will be better we promise!

Uschi loves sticks. She likes to steal them from other dogs and she likes to chew them to bits She does not like you to try and take her stick away!

Her claws look massive in this shot

The joy of sticks!

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.

Dashing About

Alison — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:11:42 +0000

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.

Uschi on Holiday

Alison — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:13:31 +0000

Uschi recently went on holiday to Norfolk on the east coast of England. Uschi enjoyed herself immensely, especially as she got the chance to swim a lot

Unusually the weather was wonderful too!

Her she is at Cromer – Uschi is actually looking at an ice cream off-camera. Yum.

It’s all a bit tiring for a weim at the end of the day so she needed plenty of rest.

Spoilt rotten

Festival Fun

Alison — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:46:38 +0000

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
