CRAZY WALLY THE GOLDENDOODLE COOLS OFF

WE had a fantastic day out with the gorgeous Murphy and his family last week…

That boy really is a stunning Goldendoodle and I’m pleased to say Wally and him hit it off famously !!!

It was a long drive for our two ‘doods ~ a country park near Huntingdon…

(oops forgot the name lol) ~ but they were certainly ready to go on our arrival !!!

Murphy did his usual greet everyone enthusiastically…

And then half an hour later did a classic double take and realised it was his granddad and jumped into his arms !!!

Such was his enthusiasm he left poor Neil with a scratch to his face and sore back lol…

Anyone who fancies a Midlands Doodle Meet next weekend at Coombe Abbey (nr Coventry) contact me

Here’s some photos of Murphy ~ Millie and Wally from their “big day out” ~ enjoy…

Sit !!! Murphy and Millie Wait For a Treat

Wally and Murphy Really Are Best Mates !!!

Sorry there aren’t any more photos ~ as per usual someone forgot to charge the battery !!!

And as for Millie (who’s normally such a poseur) she was very camera shy lol…

There will be plenty more photos from the Midlands Doodle Meet next weekend ~ do contact me for details…

Until then loads of love ~ Kate ~ Millie and Wally XxX

MILLIE AND WALLY EXPLORING THE DEVON COUNTRYSIDE

The ‘doods really did do Devon lol and what a fantastic time we all had…

From long walks on bridle paths – splashing about in the sea – and ‘doodle dashing everywhere…

And even very scary smugglers tunnels!

LEADING THE WAY TO THE PUB AFTER A DOODLE DASH ON THE NESS BEACH

Wally really came out of his shell and Millie was her usual laid back princess haha…

We even managed to get them both on tiny ferries from Instow to Appledore and Shaldon to Teignmouth!

And how very well behaved – and brave – they were – proper salty sea dogs!



WALLY AND MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLES ABOARD THE TINIEST FERRY!


We stayed at a real dog friendly cottage called the Old Dairy – highly recommended and 100% dog friendly indeed…

There was even a dog agility course right on our doorstep – but sadly neither Millie or Wally felt up to the challenge!

Instead they managed to cause a stir wherever they went with quite literally hoards of people stopping to fuss them…

Wally – who until now has been reserved around strangers – took it all in his stride and even seemed to enjoy all the fuss!

But it was on the beach the boy came into his own and it was hard getting him out of the sea such was his enjoyment lol…

DOODLE DASH ON INSTOW BEACH

MILLIE GOES UNDER WALLY PREFERS SPLASHING


WALLY THE GOLDENDOODLE JUST LOVED THE SEA!

WALLY MAKES A FRIEND LOL

YUK! WALLY ROLLS ON A DEAD FISH – BOY DID HE STINK HAHA!

BEST BEACH BUDDIES MILLIE AND WALLY THE BAYWATCH GOLDENDOODLES LOL

Every night back at the cottage Wally would still be raring to go – the boy has energy!

However Princess Millie took to her sofa in the conservatory and snoozed…

Well a lady does need her beauty sleep haha…

FOR MILLIE A SOFA IS TOTAL BLISS!

As you can see the humans and the ‘doods had a fab time and found tons of dog friendly places to go…

I can highly recommend the GOOD DOG GUIDE – it certainly helped us find great places to eat – drink and visit…

Sadly we’re back home and both Goldendoodles although tired seem to think we can magic a beach out of thin air!

The last few walks have been slightly low key as they look at us expectantly – “where’s the beach?”

Hopefully we’ll get them to one in a couple of weeks time all being well

But oh boy do I miss this view all ready!

THIRSTY AT TREBARWITH STRAND

Just to let you know Millie was 3 on Sunday (Aug14th) – wow how time flies!

It seems like only yesterday we began this blog with a month wait before we could collect her!

I can honestly say choosing Goldendoodles as our pet dogs was the best move we ever made…

They’re funny – loving – clever-ish (well Wally is sort of getting there lol) and more than a little crazy!

And judging from the amazing reactions from people we met – they’re show stopping superstars!

OK I need to feed the ‘doods so I’ll love and leave you until next time…



Loads of love ~ KATE ~ MILLIE and WALLY XxX

MILLIE AND WALLY GREAT GOLDENDOODLE MATES


WALLY the Goldendoodle is growing at an alarming rate of knots!!!

As you can see at 16 weeks he’s almost as big as Millie…

The boy is going to be huge – just what we wanted…

And the fantastic news is Millie absolutely utterly adores him…

They really are great friends are hardly ever apart…

Unless of course her best mate Biddy the Labradoodle is about !!!

Wally has been a little timid and very nervous around people…

This is in complete contrast to Millie who loves people to pieces lol…

We had a funeral to attend last week and we left the dogs with Paddy ~ Lynn and Biddy…

Wally was a little nervous by it all – but we know the more new people the better…

So at last weekend’s Midlands ‘Doodle Meet – we were a little worried how the little chap would take it…

MURPHY AND LULU THE GOLDENDOODLES SWIMMING WITH MUM !!!

Two of Millie’s pups were there – the magnificent Murphy and lovely (but loopy) Lulu….

And they made a great fuss of us as we arrived which really was lovely…

As expected Wally despite his size and bravado in the house – was a little stunned by all the people and ‘doods…

MILLIE’S HALF SISTER MAISIE SAYS HELLO IN DOODLE STYLE TO WALLY


Being the baby of the bunch everyone wanted to say hello and fuss him to pieces…

But knowing how nervous of people he was everyone was given little treats to coax him to them…

Everyone was fantastic and very gentle and Wally quickly relaxed and strained at the lead to run free…

It was his first run with a pack and boy did he love it !!!

Of course Millie led the way with Biddy close on her heels…

It’s my favourite part of the any ‘doodle meet – letting them all free from their leads…

And at Coombe Abby the dogs have a super free run…

We let them loose in a lovely wood that leads to a huge open area – and boy do they charge up that hill…

THAT’S ME ON MY BOTTOM AFTER A PACK OF ‘DOODLES CRASHED INTO ME LOL

And yes I still have the bruise from my tumble lol…

From their we head through beautiful wooded pathways edged by ditches…

At this time of the year they are filthy filled with stinking gloopy mud…

And yes you guessed it the ‘doodles absolutely love it…

Within 10 minutes we had a pack of very muddy ‘doodles – except Wally he seemed bemused by it all !!!

A VERY MUDDY LULU (WHO ELSE COULD IT BE LOL)

Millie had a fantastic time – as did all the ‘doods – and both of our ‘doods came home absolutely worn out…

The meeting did Wally the power of good – he’d never seen so many dogs and people…

I’m pleased and proud of how he handled himself…

Whilst he’s still a little nervous around strangers he’s coming out of his shell…



I’ve taken him to two puppy classes now and progress is good…

He handled his first trip into the town centre very well and my initial concerns are now gone…

I just think he’s going to be an easy going laid back dood around people – so unlike Millie !!!

OK that’ll do for now but just to say Neil has a new site you might want to have a look at…

COMPARE THE DOODLES dot com lol…

It’s basically just a photo clicking time waster – upload your own photos and vote for your fave…

(it keeps him quiet haha)

Ok just to say Wally’s training is coming on very well…

Sit – Wait and Down are all commands he follows and follows well…

Millie has of course helped in this by showing him how to do things for treats !!!

One thing he has mastered and much better than Millie is the “High Five”…

So I’ll leave you with Wally showing how it’s done…

WALLY GIVES A GREAT HIGH FIVE !!!

Thanks for visiting and do visit DOODLE MANIA – it’s a fab forum for doodle lovers…

Love Kate ~ Millie and Wally XxX

WHERE’S WALLY..? HERE’S WALLY!!!

Yes I have gone and done it…

Got myself a new ‘doodle lol…

Say hello to Wally a strapping 12 week old Goldendoodle puppy…

I’m delighted to say Millie absolutely adores him…

Bless her heart she hasn’t left his side since he arrived 2 days ago…

OK here’s the story of Wally and me…

Neil and I had gone away for the weekend as it was my birthday…

We were in Liverpool to visit my eldest son and do the whole “Beatles thing”…

I’d spotted “Wally” on line and had fell in love immediately…

I mentioned it to Neil and he kind of shrugged lol…

After plying him with a few beers at the Albert Dock I suggested we got him…

What could he do but agree lol…

So the next day at the crack of dawn – and a bad hangover for Neil lol – we set off…

That’s a drive from Liverpool to deep into the fens of Lincolnshire – a very long drive…

Long story short we both fell and love and before we knew it he was home…

The first night Millie was staying with Biddy – Paddy and Lynn…

So we hoped he would settle easily and quite quickly after such a tiring day…

We were both absolutely knackered lol…

Wally made it quite clear he was not happy about sleeping alone…

He actually screamed – and I mean – screamed the place down…

I tried to ignore it but he’d had such a day I settled on the sofa and he thankfully slept through…

So to the grand introduction…

Wally was very stand offish – and not at all sure about his new surroundings…

However as soon as Millie appeared this scared shaking little chap went into “doodle mode” big time…



As you can see Millie was a little bemused by this little noisy upstart…

But soon took charge and gently put him in his place…




MILLIE AND WALLY FRIENDS FOR LIFE ALL READY

As I said – since then she hasn’t left his side…

They play so very well together and he follows her around copying all she does…

He has really taken to me but was a little unsure about Neil at first…

But thanks to Millie showing the way he’s now coming out of his shell a bit…

So there you have it – a new dood to my brood…

Could it be the last…haha…

I have two weeks off work so plenty of time to get to know him and him me…

And plenty of time to update you all with the news and photos…

I have a ton of photographs from the last two ‘Doodle Meets…

So until the next time…

Lots of love – Kate ~ Millie and little (not for much longer he’s gonna be HUGE!!!) Wally XxX




SLEEPING OFF YET ANOTHER MAD PLAY SESSION

COOKIE ABSOLUTELY LOVING HER NEW HOME AND FAMILY

HOW on earth could I forget darling little Cookie..?

My deepest apologies to her and her new family…

Today has been a little hectic at home and on the blog…

We moved to a new host (excellent) but as always with these techno things…

There were hitches all the way – at one point I lost all the photos !!!

So our little Cookie is happy as could be in lovely Surrey…

I don’t think she’s tried the swimming pool just yet !!!

And I hope she hasn’t dug up the carefully filled in fox holes yet lol…

She’s settled in extremely well and adores her family…

It seems she’s doing very well being left alone for short periods…

Mum and the kids hide behind a door listening to see if she’s distressed…

She isn’t lol and on their return she absolutely jumps for joy…

Mom’s feet seem to be the favourite spot for little Cookie to snooze !!!

I’m so pleased all our pups have such amazing homes and families…

So a very big thank you to you all…

And sorry once again Jane for missing darling Cookie in the first post – I hope I’m forgiven

THREE WEEKS TO GO UNTIL MILLIE GIVES BIRTH TO GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES!!!


Just a quick update on Millie the Goldendoodle’s pregnancy…

We have received tons of enquiries for one of her puppies…

And I have spoken to everyone so far…

It’s been a pleasure to meet so many lovely kind real “dog people” lol…

And so far everyone has the most perfect loving home to offer…

So a big thank you from me and a loving lick from Millie…

Those of you who have now met her know she really does love to lick you haha…

She has always been a loving gentle cuddly dog…

She is what we call a “floopy little girl” haha…

As in soft – gentle – loving and very much in cuddles…

Being in pup has made it more so – and I have to say I love cuddling her…

That’s the beauty of the Goldendoodle breed…

They are mad as hatters and nuts to play with…

They love long walks – free runs and playing…



GOLDENDOODLES LOVE EXERCISE!!! (taken moments after mating Millie the Goldendoodle)

However they’re just as happy lying on their backs snoring…



MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE SNORING


A proper mix of boundless energy and couch potato haha…

Millie the Goldendoodle is now a little over three weeks away for giving birth to her litter…

To say I’m nervous and excited is an understatement…

We’ve decided on the dining room as the “nursery”…

It’s warm and quiet and plenty of space…

I have got a whelping kit – complete with stethoscope lol…

Plenty of newspapers – absorbent puppy pads and blankets…

Millie is in great health and everything looks good for the big day…

The vet would not tell us how many pups she was expecting…

But the list of people wanting one of Millie’s puppies is growing…

Part of me feels awful for those at the end of the queue…

But Mother Nature will decide how many Goldendoodle puppies Millie has…

And there’s not much more I can do about that haha…

Thanks again to all who have contacted me – it really has been a pleasure getting to know you…

And I truly hope you are one of the lucky ones…:)

Stay tuned for more updates as Millie the Goldendoodle gets closer to giving birth…

And as for Millie herself…

She’s in great spirits and even manages a token “play every now and then…”



SO MANY TOYS FOR A GOLDENDOODLE TO PLAY WITH BUT OH SO TIRING

But we mums know only too well just how tiring pregnancy can be lol…

We have began increasing her food a little…

However the little minx will not eat her kibble…

This is worrying as she needs the nutrients…

However my partner had a brainwave – not that he has many haha…

Millie absolutely adores tripe sticks – uggh the smell…

So he actually grated tripe stick shavings into her kibble!!!

She of course wolfed them down haha…

OK that’ll do for now – I’m off to give Millie a shower and blow dry…

Thanks for all your enquiries and again thanks to those of you who have come to visit…

And please keep the messages of support coming – I do so love to hear from you…

Love Kate and Millie XxX

TIME FOR A TRIP TO THE HAIRDRESSERS!!!

Exciting news!!!

We’ve decided to breed our Goldendoodle Millie!!!

After a lot of thought and research we thought now is a good time as any…

It’ll mean she’ll be giving birth around June…

With her pups ready to go to new homes in early August!!!

And it really has been an interesting time…

We have had to have our Goldendoodle hip and eye scored…

That in itself was a real cause for concern – as we didn’t want to put her through any discomfort…

We shouldn’t have worried – she was an absolute star!!!

She melted the hearts of the vets during her eye check which she passed with flying colours…

And despite the need for general anaesthetic for the hip score…

She was none the worse for wear and showed no discomfort whatsoever…

So much so that a matter of days later she was boogying with the other ‘doodles at the Midlands meet…



WALKIES AT THE DOODLE MEET UP AT NEWBOLD COMYN




MUDDY FUN WITH THE ‘DOODLES AND THE DUDES (AND DUDETTES!!!)




MASIE MILLIE’S HALF SISTER




PIPPA ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE GOLDENDOODLE MEET!!!

MILLIE AND BIDDY BEING ANTI SOCIAL AS USUAL!!!





MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE COOLS OFF IN THE RIVER


As you can see a great time was had by all…

Millie’s great friend Biddy was there with Paddy and Lynn…

It was great to meet Kin and her lab Rosie and gorgeous ‘doodle Poppa…

And it was absolutely wonderful to meet Millie’s half sister Masie…

She brought along her dad her mum Jackie and delicious cakes made by Verity!!!

Masie and Millie share the same mom but different dad’s…

Despite her age she did her best to keep up with the older dogs…

By all accounts she slept like a log when she got home haha…

One of the funniest moments came when we all turned a corner to see a man with his ‘doodle!!!

He was certainly surprised to see us all but happily joined in on the walk…

I think that will be our last meet up for a while…

If Millie’s expecting puppies we can’t have her charging around like a loon!!!

And so this Easter weekend we’re piling into the car…

And taking Millie home to see her mom at Gun Dogs UK…

And of course to meet her stud dog Cracker…



ISAAC THE BABE – aka CRACKER

Now isn’t he a handsome boy…

We’ve been told his bitches can have up to 12 puppies…

I can’t wait for the chaos to begin haha…

So there you have it…

Our once little Goldendoodle puppy bundle of fluff…

Is going to be a mom!!!

We can hardly believe how quickly time has flown…

And how wonderfully Millie the Goldendoodle has grown…

But of course before any girl meets her mate…

She needs a trip to the beauty parlour…

And last weekend Millie had her very own spa day…



BEFORE MILLIE’S SPA DAY



AFTER MILLIE’S SPA DAY

We thought she looked amazing…

The groomer told us she took heaps off her coat…

And this time – thankfully – she didn’t get the bowl fringe haha…

Millie however wasn’t at all impressed…



BUT I LIKED MY HAIR OVER MY EYES!!!


Thanks to everyone who has emailed us and commented on the blog…

It means a heck of a lot to us that so very many people enjoy Millie the Goldendoodle’s tales!!!

And of course we shall keep you up to date on her Goldendoodle puppies!!!

OK must dash we have heaps to organise…

Happy Easter and thanks again…

Kate and Millie

MILLIE AND RALPH ~ IT COULD BE WEDDING BELLS!!!

More on the main Goldendoodle photo later haha…

What an absolutely amazing weekend we had recently at the DoodleMania Welsh meeting…

It was a camping meet up for owners of all things ‘Doodle and we had to take Millie…

Last summer we spent most weekends camping…

The arrival of Millie and moving to the new house meant we missed it dreadfully…

Plus we were a little concerned how our little princess would take to it…

We needn’t have worried at all…

She absolutely loved it!!!

Probably more because of the arrival of hunky Doodle Ralph in the next tent…

He’s an absolute honey and it was most definitely luuurve at first sight!!!



MILLIE AND RALPH BECAME INSEPARABLE

He really is a credit to his mum Tracy…

So placid so gentle and very very cool…

He swept our Millie off her feet and I have to say she’s been pining for him dreadfully!!!

So much so the folks on the awesome DoodleMania forum are planning an on line wedding!!!

Haha how very sweet – if a little crazy – haha…

We had an absolute blast over the weekend and met too many people to mention…

The biggest laugh for us came when we took Millie to the bar-b-q and she spotted her great friend Biddy…

Biddy lives with her mum and dad near us and the pair often go for walks together…

When they clapped eyes on each other it was a classic cartoon double take – then fun and frolics!!!

Do surf over to DoodleMania and sign up for more pics and Doodle info you can handle!!!

I’ll leave you with some more pics from the weekend!!!



CAMPING CAN BE SO TIRING FOR A GOLDENDOODLE!!!

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…
