Firstly let me wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

A little late – but it’s been crazy here!!!

It only seems like yesterday I was posting Goldendoodles in the snow photos!!!

A year on and little Millie (ok not so little lol) still loves the white stuff!!!

Although snowmen scare the pants off her!!!

They say never work with kids or animals…

So typically the day I took the video camera…

Our Goldendoodle was brave as can be!!!

If only we could have captured her first sight of a snowman!!!

It truly was hilarious…

Millie is very excited at the moment…

Not I hasten to add that we’re off to Goa for two weeks very soon…

But more because she gets to spend a whole fortnight with her greatest friend…

Biddy and Millie together means trouble!!!

A special thanks to Paddy and Lynn!!!

We’re going to miss her terribly but she’s in great hands…

And sure to have loads of fun!!!

OK I’m off to pack my bikini and sun tan lotion…:)

I shall leave you with some photos of Millie the Goldendoodle playing in the snow…

C’ya…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Millie!!!

Yes our little Goldendoodle puppy Millie is one today!!!

And my how she’s grown!!!



This Is My Rock Chick Look

No Pictures I’m Famous!!!

Seems like only yesterday this little bundle of fluff arrived…

She has been an absolute star through house moves – builders you name it…

And all that life can throw at a baby puppy Goldendoodle!!!

House training was a complete breeze…

There’s been no chewing – OK we had a little “mouthing” as a 3 month old pup…

She isn’t fussy over feeding – has excellent table manners!!!

And as she gets that little bit older maybe the “dog people blindness” might stop!!!

As in – “Oh dog / people ” Millie charges over to say Hi!!!

But truly she has been an absolute angel – a real pleasure and a real intregal part of our family…

She shall be celebrating her first birthday with what else but a swim in the local river!!!



Goldendoodle Puppy Millie Swimming In River

She just needs to learn how to get out gracefully!!!

If you’re looking for the perfect loving soft fluffy family pet…

I shall keep saying it – BUY A GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY!!!!

IN all seriousness we got Millie from Gundogs UK…

And we can only highly recommend them…

They really are superb breeders…

So now there really are no excuses!!!

Right we’re off for her birthday swim…

THERE’S A TIME WHEN ALL GIRLS NEED THE HAIRDRESSERS

How to groom a Goldendoodle…

Or more’s the point when should you or even should you…

As the summer arrived little Millie was hidden behind a floppy – albeit trendy – fringe…

There were times she was mistaken for an industrial mop such was the shagginess…

We tried the hair bun but it would never stay in…

We even tried the David Beckham Goldendoodle hair band…

I’M NOT GOING OUT WITH THAT THING ON I LOOK STUPID

But as the days got hotter she became more and more uncomfortable…

Seeking refuge in any shade in the garden…

A GOLDENDOODLE IN THE BUSH IS WORTH ONE IN THE HAND

And so we called the dog groomer…

“Ummmm…” she said…

“Never done a Goldendoodle before – make sure she’s tangle free else I shall have to shave her…”

We all shuddered – we love Millie’s mad crazy Goldendoodle curls and fluff…

Now tangle free sounds fair enough – however Millie had tangles on tangles inside an enigma of tangles…

And so I popped her in the shower with me and conditioned to my hearts content…

As there was a glimmer of sunshine – and she hates hairdryers – I let nature take its course…

WAKE ME WHEN YOU’VE FINISHED MY BLOW DRY AND SET MUM

She’s so big now the only way to comb and brush her through is literally on my lap…

As you can see she’s pretty good with the whole thing…

Mostly…

We even managed to snip a bit off her fringe – and boy did she need it!!!

A BIT OFF THE FRONT AND LEAVE THE BACK PLEASE BARBER

The day of the grooming arrived…

Millie apparently took it all in her stride whilst I waited outside a nervous wreck…

I prayed I had got every single knot and tangle out…

I really didn’t want a bald Goldendoodle!!!

And so it was with some relief I saw her…

Nails clipped – jacuzzi – bubble bath and 2 inch clip all over…

“She needs a firm hand with a hair dyer…” barked the groomer ” don’t take any nonsense…”

I smiled and thanked her…

I’ll show you the photos next time…

Until then…

Let’s just say I wonder which bowl the groomer used to cut around her fringe!!!
