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!!!

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!!!

Haha my first You Tube attempt using my cell phone…

Ummm I don’t think I’ll be winning any Oscars soon…

But this is the famous Millie roll…

She ends every single run with this charming “roll…”

Hope you enjoy and I promise to get better at filming…:)

And hey please bookmark MILLIE’S YOU TUBE CHANNEL NOW!!!

WooHoo Snow Day!!!

And oh boy does our little girl love the snow!!!

She now stands at the patio window looking expectantly at the sky…

She’s miffed to say the least if there’s not a single flake to be seen…

If there’s snow – as soon as the door’s open she’s out like a blur!!!

Racing around the garden barking her head off!!!



I Love The Snow I Luuuuurve SNOW!!!!



I Mean I Really REALLLY Love it!!!


And a blur is exactly what we mean haha…

There really is something so cute about a doodle in the snow…

Particularly when she enjoys it like Millie does…



Can I Bath In It..? Can I Huh..?



Nope But You Can Take A Snow Shower!!!


That’s not me kicking her I hasten to add…:)

More a little game we HAVE to play…

It involves kicking as much snow as possible at her as she catches it…

Good exercise for my thighs I have to say and little Goldendoodle Millie loves it!!!



I’m Ready For My Christmas Card Close Up Now


On a more serious note – though how’s that possible with a Goldendoodle puppy!!!

Millie has – according to the vet – reached adolescence…

Aaaarrrggh if having a teenage son isn’t bad enough (joking honest)…

Then a puppy..?

Well we haven’t had her teenage health check yet – that’s next week…

But we have certainly noticed a few changes…

Obviously she’s growing fast and filling out…

But she also likes to test our resolve…

Where once she was quick on recall…

Now she thinks about it and eventually rushes towards us…

Before skidding away at the last minute!!!

A little pirouette later and madam eventually sits nicely in front of us…

Frustrating – definitely – but consistency will win through we hope…

She also seems to be sleeping more…

That could be the amount of exercise she gets – very healthy walks and runs…



A Bath Together..? It’s Our First Meeting!!!

It really does feel like we’re losing the puppy and seeing the dog…

Although put a ball in front of her and the pup is back!!!

Fingers crossed we’ve had no serious teething/chewing issues…

But we are not resting on our laurels…

We absolutely adore our Goldendoodle pup…

Can’t imagine life without her if I’m honest…

She’s sassy funny cute mad crazy gentle clever and pretty as hell…

I say it every time but if you’re looking for the perfect family dog…

There can only be one – A GOLDENDOODLE!!!!



How Could Anyone Resist..?

Go See ALL MILLIE’S Photos In The Gallery – It’s A Page In Progress!!!

FROZEN CORN ON THE COB YUMMY!!!!


The dreaded chewing and teething puppy!!!

Millie is being fantastic and not chewing too many bits of furniture…

Apart from the brand spanking new kitchen bistro chairs that is haha…

We have had to resort to all kinds of wild whacky and wonderful teething toys…

From rope pull toys soaked in stock and then frozen – Millie gives that a 5 out of 10 haha…

Expensive teething toys just sit there ignored – she’d rather eat the wrapper!!!

Teething chews are sniffed and then pushed aside with a look of utter contempt on her face…

So it was with some relief we tried frozen veg…

Carrots (whole) were nibbled nicely then spat out…

The same with apples – pears were at first munched on then ignored – but it was corn on the cob that was the big hit…

Frozen whole and Millie absolutely guzzles them down…

The iciness soothes her gums (so red and sore) and the taste drives her nuts!!!

A highly recommended and healthy teething treat – and it makes the poo interesting



MILLIE IS GROWING SO FAST!!!



As she’s starting to grow so is her world…

Though saying that the house has been in turmoil as workmen trapse in and out of the place…

Meaning we have been relegated to the kitchen – which wont be fitted until after Christmas…

Millie has taken all this in her stride and quite likes the men stopping work to fuss her to pieces!!!

Our walks have become far more adventurous with long free runs over the beautiful Comyn…



NO WORRIES MUM I KNOW THE WAY FROM HERE!!!


Millie simply adore the Comyn…

So many smells so many places to roll in the mud…

And of course tons of other dogs of all ages and sizes to play with…

The rumour that all Goldendoodles love water seems a little odd with our Millie…

She has been known to walk around puddles – but is also quite happy to paddle like a lady…



THAT’S THE BIGGEST BATH I’VE EVER SEEN!!!




MAYBE I’LL GET A LITTLE BIT WET…IF THAT’S OK MUM


Judging from our last trip to the river she’s only a few days away from jumping in!!!

It really is a a joy to see after our big long walks…

What was once a little ginger tinged bundle of white fluff…

Resembles a proper muddy mucky pup!!!

The ritual of the warm towel down the two hour sleep and then warm bath is an absolute pleasure…

All in all and given all our little Goldendoodle has had to put up with in her short life…

She’s an absolute little dream of a dog…

We love her to absolute pieces…

She’s funny – sweet – clever and has such a fun loving character…

Anyone looking for the perfect family dog…

Could do no worse than a Goldendoodle…

But then we are a little biased!!!

Speak Up! I Have A Leaf For An Ear…

The vets are stumped and so are we…

It seems overnight Millie the Goldendoodle puppy…

Has grown a leaf for her left ear!!!

Only joking – but what a super photo that is – haha the pose leaves (ouch) a bit to desire…

She’s such a hussy – can’t imagine where she gets it from…

Okay onto the matter of Millie’s first week of walks…

She has been absolutely fantastic…

Sure there’s been the odd noise – particularly from buses…

And she’s jumped – shivered and tried to wrap herself around our legs…

We’ve resisted too much fuss and simply gently led her past any problems…

The first free run was absolutely amazing…

The training we have done with her on recall has been well worth it…

It’s a sheer delight to see this white bullet come tearing across the field at the call of her name…



I’ll Only Come Back If You Have Treats!!!



I Dunno Whether To Drink It Or Bath In It


She’s a little unsure of the water at this point…

I hasten to point out it barely comes to her knees!!!

She kind of sniffs at it splashes a bit then runs away!!!

As for puddles far from splashing into them – Millie tends to skirt around them…

The look of disdain on her face at other dogs paddling is funny…

I hope she loses this and becomes a bit more tomboyish – one lady in the house is enough haha…

However water does of course have dangers…

Especially crocs and that’s where little Millie comes into her own…

If there’s a croc about this little hunter will find it…

Drag it to her lair and munch on it happily for an age…



Crocodile Dundee..? Naw Croc Hunter Millie!!!



I’m Sorry For Whatever I’m Supposed to have Done…

She’s now three months old and growing so very fast…

It only seems like yesterday we brought this tiny scared bundle of fluff home…

She has her mad moments and of course the garden looks like a bombsite with doggy craters everywhere…

But we wouldn’t swap her for the world…

She’s bright as a button funny cheeky and very very loving…

Anyone looking for a puppy will do no better than a Goldendoodle…

Stay tuned – you just never know what Millie the Goldendoodle puppy will get up to next!!!
