THERE’S ALWAYS ONE WHO GETS “A BIT MUDDY” HAHA!

SORRY for the delay in getting these photos up ~ hey I’m not quite a week late lol…
Here’s the gallery of the fantastic ‘doodle meet we had last Saturday…
As you can see it was a great turn out and the ‘doodles had a whale of a time…
I’m pretty sure they all ran themselves ragged…
I know Millie and Wally slept the sleep of the just on our return home…
There’s another meet up on December 29th at Coombe Abbey near Coventry…
We usually meet between 10:45 and 11:00am so please come along…
Or contact me here!!!
Enjoy the photos (there was video but oops Neil lost them lol) and hopefully we’ll see you next time…



Lots of love ~ Kate ~ Millie and Wally XxX

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all of Millie’s gorgeous pups – one year old today !

NEW BORN GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES

I can hardly believe it’s been a year since all nine gorgeous Goldendoodle puppies were born – how time flies !

The fantastic news is all the pups are healthy, happy, and more than content…

And despite a few typical naughty puppy moments all are well behaved !

I’ve been lucky enough to have kept in contact with all of the families…

And it’s a real joy to get to meet some of them and the pups on a regular basis…

We were supposed to meet up with little Tilly whilst we were in Liverpool recently…

But regular readers will know I got a little distracted and ended up with a new pup of my own !

I’m also yet to catch up with my darling Max (aka “Dave” lol), Digby and Mazola…

But the families have been kind enough to keep in touch and let me know how they’re all getting on which is great…

So with out further ado here’s a quick rundown on how they’re all doing !

MURPHY

MURPHY AFTER HIS RECENT “TRIM” LOL

Of all the goldendoodle puppies I’ve had more contact with the stunning Murphy than any of them…

His amazing family are more than happy to make the long journey to the Midland ‘Doodle meetings…

And Murphy is always delighted to see us – last time he actually slipped his lead and dived into the car !

He’s a superb dog, well mannered, well behaved a real credit to his loving family…

LILLY

Lovely little Lilly is cute as a button but very naughty !

I’ve been lucky enough to see a lot of Lilly and she is a little whirlwind !

Of all the pups she’s been the naughtiest – in a purely nice way of course lol…

We had a fab time with her at the recent Doodle camping weekend where she was reuinited with mum and sister Molly…




LILLY MEETS UP WITH MOLLY, MILLIE AND THAT’S WALLY’S TAIL !!!

CHEEKY LILLY EATING A TREAT – I LOVE THAT PHOTO !!!

MOLLY

MOLLY MIGHT BE SMALL BUT THAT REALLY IS A GIANT TENNIS BALL !!!



Molly was the little princess of the litter and a stunner from the day she was born…

It was great to finally see her again at the recent ‘Doodle camping trip in Devon…

She is so like her mum Millie in temperament it’s untrue – she’s absolutely gorgeous and a fantastic little dog…

She’s also won both a photo competition and dog show !!!

It was a real pleasure to see her again and we had a great time with them – lots of kisses for Millie’s dad too lol…

LULU

LOVELY LULU LOOKING LIKE BUTTER WOULDN’T MELT


Lulu…Lulu…Lulu…hehe…

Where to begin with this little minx..?

Remember how she drove Millie’s dad nuts as a puppy..?

Well she is an absolute furball but that perfect photo belays her real nature – she’s a doodle dynamo and then some !!!

She is the life and soul of any gathering and absolutely adores Stan the lab who she lives with – OK torments him to pieces !!!

I’ve met up with her and her amazingly patient family many times and she’s joined us on the doodle meetings often…

What can I say apart from WOW !!! This girl is mad as a box of frogs – never stays stills and delivers live mice to her mom daily !!!

She’s absolutely stunning and an absolute character – love her to pieces – but she’d wear me out in a morning lol…

COOKIE

COOKIE IS A PICTURE PERFECT GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY

Cookie is absolutely gorgeous and the epitome of an F1B Goldendoodle if ever I saw one…

That gorgeous coat needs a lot of grooming and recently she was clipped for the first time…

We were thrilled to meet up with her at the latest Midlands ‘Doodle meeting…

She is an absolute stunner with a very kind a loving nature – another just like her mom…

She absolutely adores her family and is an absolute credit to them…

MAZOLA

MAZOLA GIVING THE HIGH FIVE

Mazola was always Neil’s fave pup (Millie’s dad) and was thrilled to receive these photos recently…

She has grown into a very very big girl and looks the picture of health and happiness…

MAZOLA LOOKS LIKE A VERY BIG GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY !!!

So there you have it – an update on that amazing litter of Goldendoodle pups who caused all the chaos last summer…

It’s been fantastic to keep in touch with their progress and meeting most of them has been fab…

If you are now “into” the whole Goldendoodle thing – then join in the fun at Doodle Mania…

It’s a great place to meet other ‘doodle owners, have fun and meet up for the regular meetings…

And don’t forget to upload your photos and browse other ‘doodle pics at GOLDENDOODLES PHOTOS…

I’ll update again soon and all have a great summer…

Our trusty tent blew down at the last ‘doodle camp…

So now we have Wally we’ve bought a new much bigger more sturdy one…

We can’t wait to get the ‘doods camping – they had a real blast last time…

MILLIE AND WALLY THE GOLDENDOODLES ADORE CAMPING LOL

Until the next time…

Lot’s 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

WALLY THE F1B GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY

WALLY has grown so much in his first two weeks with us it’s untrue…

And as you can see he’s growing into a gorgeous young ‘doodle…

There’s little doubt he’s going to be huge and very very strong…

And that is the main reason I am taking the lead in his training…

As he gets bigger and stronger I will need him to respect me for his and my good lol…

He will be able to go for his first walk outdoors next week – should be fun lol…

And the week after I’m going to take him to puppy classes – watch this space!!!

Millie didn’t do puppy classes as Neil took charge…

She’s such a well mannered and well behaved dog because we – Neil in particular – was very strict with her as puppy…

I used to worry we were maybe a little too hard – but oh boy has she turned out well…

MILLIE SHOWS WALLY HOW TO WAIT

Now to our Wally – and oh dear do we have some “issues” to sort out…

None more so than his behaviour at night – or come to that when left alone or I leave him – even for a few minutes…

I have known dogs that whine and bark when left alone – and regulars will remember Millie’s pup “Dave…”

Boy did that little ‘dood howl at night lol…

But with Wally it borders on hysteria…



WALLY THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY LOOKING CALM BEFORE THE STORM LOL


He cannot be left alone for even a moment without his almost manic behaviour appearing…

If I leave he throws himself around the house wailing and with much gnashing of teeth…

He cries whines barks and generally works himself up into such a state…

It’s even worse at night – last night it was 45 minutes before I had to comfort him…

I’m not joking when he say HYSTERICAL…

Neil has tried – just once – his tried and tested “pack leader” approach – but Wally became absolutely petfrified…

He yelped shook cowered and hid from Neil despite him holding out his fave treat…

It took half a day for Wally to even relax in a room with Neil…

I felt for them both lol…

So it’s going to have to be the long steady gradual way with Wally…

That means a heck of a lot of work – but I’m sure it will be rewarded in the end…

Now where did I put the Dog Whisperer book haha…

God bless her Millie is doing more than any of us to settle the little chap…

She really is a star and he and she adore each other…

It’s not all bad – Wally is a gorgeous Goldendoodle – funny cute and very loving…

And we all absolutely adore him – but for his sake and our sanity we have to crack this lol…

OK I’ll love and leave you all – thnaks for you kind messages very much appreciated…

And just a quick mention to a very clever Goldendoodle Doodle-Lu…

She was giving birth to her first litter the other night…

Mum was a little worried about things but luckily I was on line and able to take on the role of Cyber Midwife lol…

I’m pleased and proud to say mum and pups are doing great…

Until the next time…

Loads of love licks and wags – Millie ~ Kate and Wally
