I would have thought that now, 2 1/2 years old that there was no way she could still fit in the same washing basket…

I was wrong!

She likes to go to new places and have new things to sniff out.

Uschi the weimaraner

She’s a very good girl… especially where treats are concerned!

Uschi the weimaraner

Drooly mouth!

Sometimes she looks like she is posing for the camera!

Sometimes she does get a little bit excited!

Here they are checking out the passers-by.  Sadie is not quite 1 year old yet and she’s already as tall as Uschi - although nowhere near as heavy!

Uschi loves Ferdy, she’ll even share her car boot with him :)

Uschi the weimaraner and Ferdy the GSP

She thinks he is very handsome.

She even lets him share the office sofa with her and daddy.

Ferdy likes a cuddle :)

Of course, the best thing is going for a walk.

Charlie thinks she looks daft - I mean, who needs a collar anyway?

This one makes me laugh…

Uschi thought that these Canada Geese were far too scary though  - especially as one of them was squarking at her a lot!

Uschi the weimaraner at Graves Park, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

We throw treats in for her and tell her to “find it” and she swims around searching for the little treats.

Uschi the weimaraner at Graves Park, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

She really enjoys herself :)

Happy once she’d eaten the treat.

She found the trains that passed by facinating (if a little scary) and as we stopped to look at the Totley Tunnel entrance she wanted to take a look too.

She likes to be in the middle of everything.

They like to wrestle over the same stick just like Uschi and her best friend Ferdy :)

Uschi finds ducks very interesting but also very scary - she always approaches the bank with great caution…

Uschi’s tip: keep your weight on your back feet to help for a speedy getaway if they quack at you.
