MILLIE JUST BACK FROM THE VETS WITH COLLAR AND DRAIN


MILLIE’S mastitis has become so bad the vet has had to drain the breast…

A tiny hole had formed – the area around it black bruised and leaking fluid…

She was so very brave the vet was able to flush most of the infection out without anaesthetic…

However it was so deep rooted – despite her being full of antibiotics – he had to sedate her…

He called her “an A1 dog…” saying any other dog would have at least snarled as he squeezed…

It was a very anxious wait but three hours later I got the call to collect her…

As you can see she’s in a woeful state – very very distressed at not being able to see her babies…

We have to continue with the antibiotics and also strong pain killers…

So thank God Millie is not in any pain…

All we can do now is separate her from the litter – keep her calm and the wound clean…

The urge to go see the litter is so very strong and it’s heart breaking to hear her cry…

It wouldn’t be called tough love unless that’s exactly what it was…

The pups have cried once or twice as she’s walked past the door…

But in all honesty they are doing more than fine without her…

Myself and Millie’s dad are the surrogate “parents” and puppies now recognize that…

She’s going back to the wonderful vet on Saturday morning – we’ll know more then…

I have beaten myself up with worry and blame…

Could I have done this – should I have done that…

But the vet has assured me we have gone beyond and above the call of care and duty…

“I have had to research this…” he said yesterday evening…

“And have to say it’s incredibly rare for this to happen – you have done all and more than required…”

Small solace – but I want to thank him for that…

His partner had helped him with the full flush of the wound…

As we were leaving he said brightly – “We have a problem child on our hands !!!”

Indeed we do – poor little Millie…



THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES SLEEPING OFF A MEAL

OK let’s talk about the 9 bundles of joy – the gorgeous Goldendoodle puppies…

Thankfully we had begun the weaning process before the drama began…

I’m proud and pleased to say they are now 99.9% weaned…

They are eating kibble mixed in a blender with substitute mothers milk…

We began with it quite sloppy – the consistency of a yoghurt…

By late afternoon the consistency became that of humus…

They absolutely wolfed that down – AND began lapping water !!!

Taking to water so well and so early has made me VERY proud…

The vet suggested a separate bowl of Lactol – which we were doing anyway…

The pups absolutely love this and I guess see it as “pudding ” !!!

Given we are now their primary carers if they weren’t “human friendly” before – which they were lol…

They are now absolutely 100% accepting of the human touch…

A friend of ours noted this last week…

She got her dog from a “proper breeder”…

Obviously human contact had been the bare minimum…

Not our little ‘doodles !!!

They see us and come running – lots of squeals of delight and licking sucking and play fighting !!!

They really are little treasures and so sweet funny and each with individual characters…

ORANGE – little boy – very vocal and funny as hell – he’s nuts (lol) and loves a cuddle…

BLUE – little boy – laid back very wriggly – loves tummy tickles and is in the middle of all the mischief…

AQUA – little boy – about as laid back as they come – if he could speak his first words would be “Peace Man” lol…

RED – little girl – probable litter leader – she’s beautiful stunning was a little aloof now comes running for fuss and cuddles…

PINK – little girl – sweet like a little fluffy porcelain doll very gentle but bright as a button – the first to lap and grasp solids…

LILAC – little girl – a big fluffy bundle of puppy gorgeousness lol – our little “baby owl”…

PURPLE – little girl – another absolute stunner – likes to find quiet corners and hidey holes to sleep off her meals…

YELLOW – little girl – simply gorgeous – just wants to cuddle (all day lol) – play and lick your face off !!!

WHITE – little girl – very pretty very affectionate and another one you could cuddle all day – fights the boys OFTEN !!!

I know most of you on the puppy list are coming this weekend to make your choices…

And trust me I know how hard it’s going to be they really are all absolutely fab little dogs…

I can’t wait to see you all and begin giving them proper names !!!

So far I know we have a Digby – Lulu and a Tilly – but which one will get the name..?

OK I’ll leave you with the latest set of puppy photos – enjoy and I’ll see you all soon…

And again thanks from the bottom of my heart for your messages and calls concerning Millie…

It’s a real lift to know you all care so much for her…

Lots of love Millie ~ Kate and the little ‘Doodles…

MILLIE’S dad decided to begin “bomb proofing” the puppies yesterday …

Not quite as dramatic as it sounds honest ha ha…

It simply means getting them used to the sights and sounds of a normal household…

For instance when Millie arrived with us every time the hoover would be brought out…

She’d run and hide – we’d find her quivering like a nervous wreck…

It took a long time to desensitize her – the same with the hair dryer for instance…

And as you can see from the video – the ‘Doodle Pups seem unperturbed by the noisy hoover…

However this is an exercise we shall repeat daily…

And once they’ve moved into the dining room and are more mobile and inquisitive…

Very many more experiences will be introduced…

After all no one wants a timid puppy lol…

If anyone on the puppy waiting list wants any special noises played…

( the mind boggles ha ha)…

Do let me know and we shall do our very best…

As an aside – when the hoover was turned on – Millie legged it !!!

So much for her conditioning lol – never work with dogs or kids ha ha…



RED SHOWS WHO IS PUPPY PACK LEADER


The puppy pack is now really starting to show it’s pecking order…

Red pup – a sweet faced girl who looks like a lion cub – has emerged as pack leader…

She’s quietly assertive and oozes an almost regal air…

The other pups are drawn to her when tired and try to cuddle with her…

However she prefers to be just ever so slightly detached…

And when we or Millie approaches – she’s the first yapping and growling…

She might think she’s a “tough little madam” – but the yap usually makes her fall over lol…

We call her the little princess – boy does she grumble if the bed isn’t just right…



THE DOODLE PUPS PLAY FIGHTING

Millie had a lovely time yesterday after her sleepless night…

The puppies were also “zonked out” and slept like angels…

This allowed Millie to get some well earned rest…

Which gave her a new spring in her step which she needed…

As another family on the waiting list brought their three children to meet the ‘doodles…

Millie adores children and was delighted to get so much fuss…

The two boys even played football with her outside !!!

They are a lovely family with an amazing house in the country…

One of the pups was drawn to them and they to him…

As they are waiting for the “last boy” – they have their fingers crossed…

We have been so lucky with the puppy families – they are all going to have great lives…




MILLIE LOOKING ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AS SHE FEEDS HER PUPS


She’s coping amazingly well – given the heat and the demands on her…

The mastitis has cleared up and the swelling has gone down…

However the puppy’s nails are like little needles…

Poor Millie has hundreds of tiny scratch marks over her belly and nipples…

They haven’t broken the skin – but I was concerned and decided to trim their nails…

So last night once they’d been fed I took each pup and gave them a pedicure lol…



GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY NAIL CARE


Given this was a new and not very pleasant experience for the pups…

They were remarkably brave – and seemed to enjoyed it…

All sitting very still for a good couple of minutes…

Of course 8 of the little darling managed to piddle on me – another trip to the dry cleaners lol…

I just used child sized nail clippers and an emery board…

I feel a new career coming on – Puppy Pedicures R Us ha ha….



A MILK SHAKE AND A PEDICURE – BLISS !!!


My carpenter friend can’t make it until Monday…

So we shan’t be moving the tribe until after the weekend…

I’m secretly pleased as being at work I don’t get to see enough of them…

I’m so looking forward to this weekend with them – they change almost by the hour…

And I so want to soak up every single drop of joy they’re bringing…

OK not much left to say other than please keep the emails and messages coming !!!

And have a great weekend – it’s going to be HOT – I might just get Millie a paddling pool lol…

Lots of love Kate ~ Millie and the little baby ‘Doodles XxX

I WAS only away for two days…

But I can’t tell you how much I missed my Millie and her baby ‘doodles…

And yes they have indeed become real little dogs !!!

Their little yaps growls and cute barks are wonderful – if a little noisy !!!

HOW MY LITTLE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES HAVE GROWN

The puppy whelping box they’re in is now getting a little small – despite it being XXL…

So yesterday we ordered a proper puppy pen – it will give them much more space…

And we shall be able to take it onto the lawn when they get a little older…

I’d made my mind up that on my return I’d give Millie the Goldendoodle a real good groom…

And that’s exactly what I did – with the help of her dad as she was having none of it lol…

But trust me two weeks after giving birth she really did need it…

She was reluctant to get into the shower at first – but once in she really enjoyed it…

It was a gorgeous sunny warm day – so I was able to dry her off outside…

(the puppies had just been fed and were sleeping it off)

MILLIE HAS ALWAYS LOVED BEING TOWEL DRIED


Once she was partly dry I brought her into the lounge and began hunting for knots…

I can assure you there were very many of them…

And it took the razor comb – anti tangle spray and baby scissors to get 99.9% of them out…

SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MILLIE’S UNDERCARRIAGE

I basically give her a towel dry then brush hard against the coat…

As and when I find tangles I try to comb them out – if that doesn’t work I use the razor comb…

And – as happened on this occasion – if that doesn’t work I use baby scissors lol…

Once she’s relatively tangle free I get out the hair dryer…

MILLIE NOW ADORES THE HAIR DRYER AND FINDS IT RELAXING


It has taken a long time getting Millie to trust this…

But now she adores it and will stand or in this case lie quite happily…

Millie really enjoyed the close attention – but every now and then she would break away to check her pups…

At one point she gave them a quick splash and dash as my partner calls it – that’s a quick feed ha ha…

They then slept soundly warm from the sunshine pouring in through the window…

The whole grooming session took me about three hours – which is much longer than normal…

But honestly Millie really did need such attention- she was a state lol…

And of course there was the frequent puppy breaks…

When I finished I have to say she looked amazing…



MILLIE LOOKING GORGEOUS AFTER A LONG GROOMING SESSION


I used a mild puppy shampoo with no scent as I didn’t want the pups confused…

I was curious to see how they’d react when mom went back into the box…

They woke bleary eyed and stretched and yawned and began sniffing around…

There was a slight pause as their little noses got accustomed to the clean fresh Millie…

And then the cacophony began – wow these little ‘doodles can make a racket !!!

And as you can see from the video below – they suckled quite beautifully…



OK it’s back to work with a bump for me today…

The ‘doodles safe under the care of Millie’s dad – who works from home lucky beggar lol…

But trust me I shall be popping back (and so will my secretary ha ha) at every opportunity…

Until tomorrow loads of love Kate ~ Millie and the ‘Doodles XxX

COOL VIDEO EFFECTS HA HA

MY apologies if you were expecting individual close ups of the pups today…

Time I’m afraid has been against me – I shall get onto it later today I promise…

And the new batch of coloured collars has arrived – so they’ll look all smart for their close ups !!!

The fantastic news is a few of the puppies have their eyes partly open !!!

It’s usually between 8 to 12 days – so they are well on course…

They are all gaining weight at an amazing rate…




SLEEPY DOODLE PUPPIES IN THE SUNSHINE




To give Millie a bit of a break last night – and after cleaning her nipples which are much better…

We brought her beloved bed into the lounge…

She was over the moon and rolled over in it like a frisky puppy…

We then brought two pups at a time to her…

Without the chaos of the nest she was able to give each special attention…

They all had a fantastic feed and very thorough top and tail…

Their squawks and squeaks were a delight as Millie washed them all over…

OK I have to dash and I promise I shall have the close ups tomorrow…

Don’t forget to keep in touch and I’ll leave you with the latest photos…

Lots of Love Kate Millie and the baby Doods…

ONE WEEK OLD AND GROWING FAST – MILLIE’S LITTLER OF GOLDENDOODLE PUPS

I CAN hardly believe it’s been a whole week since Millie gave birth…

My how time flies when your house is full of baby doodles !!!

All have almost doubled their body weight with a couple a little more than that…

I am thrilled with their progress and Millie is enjoying a little more time away from the nest…

She’s positioning herself in an alcove in the lounge – she can see them and responds immediately if needed…

MILLIE CATCHING UP ON HER SLEEP – THE YELLOW YOU SEE IS “NIPPLE CREAM” LOL

Bless her she’s always been a sleepy dog…

But for the first 5 days I think she managed the odd cat nap – with one undisturbed 3/4 of an hour !!!

She’s next to me now snoring the sleep only us new moms know ha ha…

Come to that so are the puppies – 10% of the time feeding 90% sleeping…



SLEEPY CUTE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES

I had to work all day yesterday and my partner took over the care…

Oh boy did I miss the little pups and of course Millie…

It’s truly amazing how quickly you bond with the litter…

They are adorable and as I said yesterday their personalities are beginning to shine through…

It seems that yesterday they all found their voices – and at times the noise was deafening lol…

It was also very chilly here and on my return the house was as warm as toast…

Not only that but the puppies were snuggled up to a child safe hot water bottle wrapped in a blanket…

The hot water bottle cover is covered in Millie’s smell and hair…

I’m pretty sure that gives the little doods much comfort…

On my return Millie woke them up and the noise was amazing – it can only get louder as they grow ha ha…

However for the little yellow pup (as in collar lol) – it was far to snug to move…

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz SNUG AND WARM ON A HOT WATER BOTTLE


OK I have to shoot off to work…

I have a phone full of photos and movies for the staff to see…

They are all doing amazingly well – and Millie’s sore nipples are much better…

Again thanks for all your messages I truly love to hear from you…

Take care and lots of love KATE – MILLIE and the LITTLE DOODS…

THE PROUD MUM AND HER LITTER OF CUTE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES

POOR little Millie the Goldendoodle has a nasty case of mastitis…

It all happened so quickly…

One minute she was feeding happily and the next she became quite poorly…

She had a high temperature and became very “spacey…”

She simply couldn’t lie down – but still allowed the puppies to feed by sitting upright…

A quick examination showed one of her teats was swollen and inflamed…

Luckily the pups had fed well – were sleeping soundly and we rushed Millie to the vets…

He was fantastic and agreed it was indeed mastitis…

He gave her two injections (both safe for the puppy milk) – antibiotic and a pain killer…

Within minutes Millie was much happier…

Infact she pulled us out of the surgery to the car – such was her haste to get home !!!




CHECKING MILLIE IS NOT IN TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT WHILST NURSING HER PUPPIES

On her return she immediately checked on the babies…

Before lying down gingerly and falling asleep for a good 3/4 of an hour…

It was the longest sleep she’s had since the puppies were born…

Once awake I checked her sore teat again and gently massaged it with olive oil…

In fact I gave all of her nipples a good gentle clean…

Millie seemed to really enjoy the close attention and lay happily on her back…

The swelling had gone down considerably and Millie was more than happy to return to her whelping box…

The puppies on the other hand seemed none to concerned at mums return !!!

They had all curled up together and were all snoring in a deep contended full belly sleep…

Millie was a little miffed and eventually began licking and nosing them to wake.,..

It was a great relief to us all that the puppies immediately “latched on” and fed happily…

The vet had recommended we allowed the pups to suckle the swollen teat…

This would both gauge Millie’s pain level – and of course help bring down the inflammation…

We rotated the aggressive and gentle feeders and was delighted to see Millie showed no discomfort…




“PINKY” ONE OF THE MORE GENTLE PUPPIES HELPING TO NURSE HER MUM

The great news is Millie stayed with the puppies all night…

And I can assure you all they have gorged themselves on her milk !!!

My partner stayed with them and says it was the most peaceful night they’ve had…

I managed to sleep a little longer despite my concerns…

As soon as I came down this morning I coaxed Millie on her back to check her nipples…

I am so relieved to say the swelling has almost completely gone !!!

I have weighed all the puppies and am delighted to say they have all gained weight considerably…

They are all feisty squeaky and none the worse for yesterdays dramas…

And as you can see all happy content and coming on amazingly well…




MUM AND DAUGHTER GOLDENDOODLES SNUGGLING AND SLEEPING TOGETHER

OK I shall leave you with the latest pictures of Goldendoodle Millie and her cute puppies…

Millie and me are off to the vets this morning for a quick check up…

I’ll let you know how it goes – but pretty sure everything is more than OK !!!

Put it this was I’m a lot happier taking her today than I was yesterday !!!

As always thanks for your messages it’s really helping us all!!!

Lots of love Kate – Millie and the doods and doodettes XXX

MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE MUSES ON PREGNANCY

JUST a quick up date on Millie the Goldendoodle and her due whelping date…

The past few days have been hard for her to say the least…

She’s never really liked warm weather…

But this week has seen temperatures soaring and with it Millie’s mood dropping…

The good news is she’s finished her antibiotics and her cough has completely cleared up…

But her belly is now the size and shape of a beach ball lol…

A beach ball full of little Goldendoodle puppies squirming wriggling and kicking…

And boy do those boys and girls kick!!!

My partner says if there’s eleven puppies they’ll be named (temporarily of course) as the England World Cup squad !!!

She’s finding it very difficult to get comfortable and to settle…

We moved the laptop outside on Friday and placed a huge umbrella for Millie to sleep under…

It was in the shade of a huge bush she used to play in as a puppy (more on that later lol)…

She seemed pretty pleased and let out a huge sigh and literally collapsed…

However little be known to us a family of blackbirds had built a nest in the very same bush…

And you guessed it that very moment the chicks hatched…

Mom and dad blackbird began their feeding ritual and each time they crashed into the bush Millie jumped with fright!!!

I truly thought the shock would bring on her “labour” – but luckily it didn’t…

I just hope the blackbirds survive – we have enough on our hands with a litter of Goldendoodle puppies…

Without hand rearing baby birds !!!!



OK back to Millie and her bushes…

We have a feeling another bush by the shed is her chosen whelping spot…

She has been desperately trying to get behind it all week…

It might be the shade she’s craving – silly girl wont go indoors – but I’m not so sure…

Might be a good idea to block it off !!!

I spoke to Sam from Gun Dogs UK this week – she’s the breeder we got Millie from…

She’s been fantastic support through this and has become a good friend…

However I wasn’t too happy when she told me about Millie’s mom and whelping…

“She’s always exactly 5 days late…” she said cheerfully….

I nearly died – I’ve booked the whole week off work ha ha !!!

Ah well whatever will be will be – and my boss is pretty flexible over the next couple of weeks…

So fingers crossed Millie will be giving birth this Tuesday…

If not it’ll be next weekend…

I’m sure not something Millie would want lol…

OK thanks again for all you comments and messages – it really means a lot to us all…

Until next time love from me Millie’s mom Kate and wags and licks from Millie XxX

JUST CALL ME THE ‘DOODLE WHISPERER HAHA !!!


WHAT a fantastic weekend for a ‘Doodle Meet !!!

Gin clear skies – hot sunshine – great people – tons of ‘doodle’s and plenty of shade !!!

And an absolutely beautiful camp site set in the stunning Kingsbury Water Park…

It was fantastic to put faces to so many names from Doodle Mania – the best ‘doodle owner forum on line…

Unlike the ‘Doodle Meet we attended last year this time we were just day visitors…

Millie is just two weeks away from giving birth to her litter of Goldendoodle puppies…

So we felt all the excitement might be too much for her…

However after her initial thrill at seeing all her mates and of course Biddy her best buddy…




BIDDY AND MILLIE BEST MATES SINCE PUPPIES


She soon settled and seemed to really enjoy herself…

Millie was so happy to see Biddy’s mum and dad Paddy and Lynn…

She jumped up and licked Lynn to pieces !!!

As for Paddy – Millie absolutely loves him to bits – as far as Millie is concerned he’s her second dad !!!



PADDY IN A TANGLE WITH SO MANY GOLDENDOODLES AROUND !!!


We all have to thank Julie for the lovely bandanna she made for ALL the ‘doodles !!!

Pink for the girls and blue for the boys !!!

Doodle Mania are tireless in their efforts to raise cash for dog/pet charities…

This event was predominantly to raise funds for the incredible Hounds For Heroes…

They train and provide assistance dogs to both members of the armed forces…

And civilian emergency services who have been injured serving their country…

It’s a registered charity and well worth your support…




PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY TO HOUNDS FOR HEROES

We totally endorse this amazing charity and suggest either a donation however big or small…

Or to buy a set of their superb and very trendy “dog tags”…

Millie has a set and loves them !!!

OK back to the ‘Doodle Meet…

Despite the heat Millie was happy to sit in the shade and enjoy all the attention…



GOLDENDOODLES ENJOYING THE SHADE !!!


And there was lots of it – and ice cream thanks to Julie and cold drinks thanks to Lynn !!!

Everybody it seemed wanted to rub Millie’s big fat tummy !!!

The puppies are now moving and it was a joy to see people’s – especially the children’s – smiles when they felt a tiny wriggle…

We were very pleased to meet a family who intend to have one of Millie’s Godlendoodle puppies…

Jane – Kevin and children had driven up from Surrey and immediately loved being fussed by so many different ‘Doodles !!!

Millie was absolutely charming and took to the children immediately…

Especially Felicity whom Millie absolutely idolized…



MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE AND FELICITY

They are indeed a lovely family and the lucky Goldendoodle puppy will have a fantastic life with them…

They live very close to Doodle Mania owners Rob and Caroline…

And have already researched the nearest ‘Doodle Meet and plan to get the new pup at the first one they can!!!

Doodle Mania is a fantastic forum for all ‘doodle types – and you’re sure to get superb advice and make amazing friends – so pop along !!!

Everyone had arrived by around 3pm and were ready for the ‘doodle walk…



LATE ARRIVALS AT THE ‘DOODLE MEET




‘DOODLES COOLING DOWN WITH ICE CREAM BEFORE THE BIG WALK




MILLIE LEADS THE WAY ON THE MIDLANDS DOODLE MEET BIG WALK


Millie was extremely anxious to get going…

And being the “princess” she is…

Just had to lead the way…

We had to chuckle at her wriggly bottom – walking just like a pregnant duck haha…

Kevin took her lead and Millie was very well behaved – so much so each of the children held the lead for a while…

Once near the water we let her and the others off the leads and splish splash Millie and Biddy were in !!!

Typically my camera went on the blink so sadly no more photos – suffice it to say a few people got splashed and very wet…

A pack of wet ‘doodles shaking off the water has that effect – a much needed cold shower you could say haha…

We decided to cut the walk short to give Millie a breather…

Of course we got lost going back (it’s a beautiful place peppered with lakes – canals and woodland paths)…

And unbelievably ended up walking further than all the others !!!



MILLIE’S “BOYFRIEND” RALPH


Millie managed admirably – but boy was she ready for a big cold drink !!!

We went home pleasantly tired and very very happy…

Millie however slept the sleep of the just – we could hear her contented snores through the night!!!

You can see all the photos from the May Midlands ‘Doodle Meet on Millie’s photo gallery – as well as many more photos…

And watch this space for two new Goldendoodle and Doodle photo sites – I’m very excited at launching them very soon…

So I’m off to assemble a whelping box so Millie can get used to it before she gives birth…

So until then once again thanks to everyone who organized the fantastic Midlands ‘Doodle Meet…

It was a fab day and sorry we couldn’t stay longer…

And thanks to you the readers of this blog for your kind words and wonderful message of support…

Myself and Millie truly appreciate it – so thank you and keep them coming !!!

These are truly exciting times with Millie due to have her litter of Goldendoodle puppies in two weeks time !!!

I’m a little nervous but pretty sure Millie will be a superb mum…

Until the next time…

Love Kate and big licks and wags from Millie XxX

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

GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES FOR SALE

MILLIE the Goldendoodle is pregnant!!!!

Yes our little Goldendoodle girl had her scan yesterday at the vets…

She’s healthy – the pups are healthy and we’re ecstatic…

Millie has decided that now she’s “with child”…

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY OUR GOLDENDOODLE WAS A PUPPY!!!


She’s taking to her – make that our lol – bed at every opportunity…



BEING A PREGNANT GOLDENDOODLE IS SO VERY TIRING


She’s absolutely worn out bless her…

She just about manages to wander around the field – rather than charge around it like a loon…

And like all pregnant women – she has her “craving…”

In our case it seems to be iPod leads ha ha…

OK to the business…

If you’re interested in purchasing one of Millie’s pups…

I’ll give you the details at the end of this post…

I just thought you’d be interested in the breeding saga!!!

OK – we headed up to Hull and to Gundogs UK (where we got Millie)…

We were delighted to finally meet Millie’s mom…

Man she is an absolutely gorgeous Golden Retriever called Bess…

So loving gentle and very pleased to see her daughter!!!

OK we met Cracker aka Isaac the Babe – the Standard Poodle at stud…

He is a superb boy and had just been clipped…



CRACKER STANDARD POODLE AT GUN DOGS UK


So at first we thought he was a lamb on springs…

He just bounced and bounced and er bounced!!!

It had been a long long drive from the Midlands to Yorkshire…

So Millie was more than a little grumpy…

Cracker adored her and it was love at first sight!!!

However Millie was having none of it lol…

In fact every time Cracker tried to woo her…

She growled – barked at him and tried to jump out of the stable lol…

To be honest she barked more in the first few minutes than she has since we had her!!!

Strong willed woman or what ha ha…

Poor old Cracker couldn’t get a look in…

After an hour we decided to take her to our friends house in Boston (where we were staying)…

Special thanks to Gary Sue and of course Rosa the Boxer – for letting us invade!!!

Cracker was to say the least left wanting lol…

The following day we made the 80 mile trip and this time left them alone…

After the initial “playing hard to get ” we left the young lovers alone…

One nervous coffee later we went back…

Success!!! Cracker looked smug and more than a little pleased with himself…

Millie however had a look of “is that it..?” hee hee…

That afternoon we took her to a deserted beach in Lincolnshire…

She absolutely loved it ran herself silly and splashed in the sea…

On the way home the following day we popped in “for one last go” lol…

This time Millie was “more than up for mating…”

However Cracker sat in the corner licking his man bits…

“He’s never done that before…” said the breeder…

Millie was more than a little miffed!!!

So there we have it…
