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

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

MILLIE TAKING A WELL EARNED BREAK IN NORFOLK

FIRSTLY my deepest apologies for the total lack of updates…

No excuses other than life has a nasty habit of taking over lol…

And there’s certainly a lot of “dashing” about lol…

The good news is I promise the Goldendoodle Diary updates will get back to normal !!!

OK the last time we met I was saying a sad goodbye to my baby boy Dave the Doodle real name Max lol…

Oh boy has he grown into an absolute honey monster…

WOW I MEAN THAT GUY IS HUGE !!!


You might also notice that some of the galleries are missing…

Neil assures me they will return – but he upgraded the script and well – Mr Techno Head not lol…

I also have to say a big hello to all our new readers…

Some don’t even own a dog let alone a ‘doodle…

But they seem to enjoy all the adventures Millie and me have…

So hi and don’t be a “lurker” leave a comment maybe – we don’t bite honest lol…

(only when riled lol)

OK onto what’s been happening…

As promised we took Millie away for a week or R and R…

She really did need it after 9 puppies and that terrible case of mastitis…

We chose Norfolk as it is most definitely the most dog friendly county out there…

Lots of amazing wide deserted sandy beaches and almost 100% dog friendly pubs – bliss…

We were delighted to meet up with Murphy and his wonderful family and had a fab day…

We met at Brancaster Beach – just wow what a dream place – and then had a lovely lunch in an olde worlde pub…

Murphy is an absolute star and a total credit to his family…

He was a little nervous around a very excitable Millie at first – but soon sorted her out…

MURPHY IS GROWING INTO A LOVELY BIG GOLDENDOODLE

MURPHY AND MILLIE AT THE PUB

MURPHY SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT WAS HIS “GRANDDAD” LOL

MURPHY THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY CUTE AND CLEVER!!!

Murphy was absolutely amazing…

Completely bombproof and ran his little heart out…

Like all pups with “new folks” he was pleased to see us – but a curious thing happened…

After about half an hour or so of play and fussing us – he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stared at Neil…

There was a classic double take and he launched himself at his “granddad” lol…

We’re meeting up with him – and a few more of the little “doods” later this month – more on that at the end of this post…

Millie absolutely loved her week away – we had a fab cosy cottage and walked ourselves silly…

The weather was absolutely perfect for a quiet week away…

The days were fresh windy and sunny and the evenings dark and cold…

After a day exploring we’d return home – log burner on and relax in the leather layZboys lol…

We also met up with old friends Gary and Sue and their Boxer dog Rosa…

After Rosa asserted herself the two dogs got on really well and we had a fabulous day on the beach…

99% of the families who had Millie’s pups have kept in touch which is great…

As the weeks go on I shall keep you all updated…

COOKIE GROWING INTO A TRULY BEAUTIFUL GOLDENDOODLE


Big news for us is our little Molly won a cute pet competition – wow!!!

She always was the “little princess” of the pack – remember her as aloof little Red..?

MOLLY THE BABE AND HER WINNING ROSETTE


A quick update on all of Millies pups – (more details next time honest)…

Digby was a little tricky over his first few weeks – trying to assert himself somewhat – but I’m pleased he’s settling well…

Lulu continues to be a crazy little madam – but in a truly lovely way lol…

Mazola has settled into her new life so very well and adores the children…

Murphy as you have seen is an absolute star…

Max is the life and soul of the family and a very big boy…

Cookie is blooming into the most beautiful ‘doodle you’ve ever seen…

Lilly is the cutest naughtiest little thing you ever did see…

Tilly is absolutely doted on by her family and is absolutely gorgeous…

Molly the “Essex Girl” is on her way to becoming the next top dog model lol…

OK that’ll do for this update – and yes I shall be doing this more often…

So the Midlands Doodle Meet is arranged for November 20th at Coombe Abby…

We’re so excited to see that a lot of Millie’s pups are coming!!!

If you need more details leave a comment here – check out Doodle Mania…

Lulu was there last time and had a whale of a time lol…

It’ll be fantastic to meet you all and the doods have an amazing time running themselves ragged lol…

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…

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

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

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…
