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…

GOLDENDOODLE PHOTOS OF THE WEEK

LILLY THE CUTEST NAUGHTIEST DOODLE OF ALL LOL CHECKOUT HER NEW BLOG!!!

MILLIE ON THE LAPTOP LOL

Remember you can upload use and keep all your goldendoodle photos HERE…

Right that’s me off to work – until the next time…

Lots of love Kate and Millie XxX

Life is very very different with just three…

Quieter far less poop and piddle and dare I say a little boring lol…

That’s not to say the last three puppies are boring – far from it lol…

The three in question – Lulu – Max (aka “Dave”) and of course Mazola…

Are enough for anyone to handle – real characters lol – you gotta feel sorry for our Max…

Outnumbered by two of the strongest willed little girl pups you’d ever meet lol…



MAX CAN’T GET THE PIGS EAR OFF THE GIRLS !!!

Their routines haven’t changed much but oh boy are they growing fast !!!

Far more independent far more inquisitive and totally ready for one on one training…

All went to the vet for health checks and their first injections…

Most didn’t like the crate in the car at all !!!

The vet was very pleased with their health and all were well behaved…

Except of course little Mazsola – she really did growl ha ha…

I’m pleased to say none showed any ill after effects…

I know they’re ours but they truly are amazing little dogs…

So very well mannered little pups – always clean to newspaper and extremely gentle with kids…



16 MONTH OLD OSCAR HELPS FEED MAZSOLA THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY

So to this weekend and what a mixture of happiness sadness relief (lol) and pleasure…

To see everyone so happy and extremely excited to collect their puppies was fantastic…

It all began on Friday with out little Lilly (aka Yellow) leaving for Wales…



LILLY WAS SO VERY PLEASED TO SEE HER NEW MUM AGAIN

As soon as her mum arrived in the garden and as if by magic Lilly jumped all over her…

Talk about being pleased – she was truly ecstatic lol…

Lots of licks wriggles and of course tail wagging !!!

The news from Wales is Lilly has settled in amazingly well and adores pigs ears !!!



DIGBY THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY SURPRISINGLY SWEET THAT DAY (LOL)


Digby was up next and his mum and dad had hardly been able to contain themselves all week…

Being the Alpha Male Digby surprised us all by being a proper little puppy…

He wriggled licked and cuddled like his life depended on it lol…

It truly was a pleasure to see him so pleased with his new family…

And the word is Digby is asserting himself a little but otherwise behaving very well…

He’s got intense training and the “snip” in his future plans lol…

Having only 7 overnight didn’t make much of a difference…

Though of course we totally missed Lilly’s antics and Digby’s smouldering presence…

Millie spent a few minutes whimpering and looking in particular for Lilly (they played a lot together)…

But she was fine really and received extra fuss and love that night…

MUM KEEPING A FIRM HOLD ON MURPHY’S HUMPING HIPS HA HA!

Saturday dawned and rain was in the air – the magnificent 7 doodle pups got very wet and muddy…

Murphy was next to go and the whole family arrived early…

They really had been a state of excitement for weeks…

We’re pretty sure they were camped in the car around the corner this last few days…

Had they have had to wait another day I reckon they’d have burst lol…

Murphy was amazing and played with the kids and loved his new mum and dad…

He’s a gorgeous solid little dog who is going to be loved so very much…

News reaches me that “Shabba Mr Lover Lover Man” is up to his old tricks…

He really will hump anything with or without a pulse that boy…

He’s a real ‘Doodle Stud Muffin – sounds like a good life…

“Bring me that cute poodle washed – I’ll be half an hour…”



MOLLY SNUGGLES UP TO HER WONDERFUL NEW MUM AND DAD (scratches on arm are courtesy of Dave lol)


Our special little Princess Molly was next to leave the nest…

And a quick wash was in order as she’d said goodbye to her special hole in the garden…

Yeah it had been raining and white Molly was a dirty brown Molly lol…

But mum and dad didn’t care they just wanted to take her home…

Friends (even tough guys) and family were eagerly waiting to meet her (she’d like that lol)…

However they were soon distracted by the remaining pups and stayed awhile to play !!!

The news reaches us that our little princess has settled in superbly and is loving her new life !!!

Down to four and we decided to bring out a special treat…

Four little pigs ears for them to chew on…

Holy crap – they absolutely adored them and much fun was had by all lol…



CUTE LITTLE PUP TILLY AND HER LOVELY NEW MUM

Our little Tilly was the last of the weekend puppies to fly the coop…

She has been an absolute joy to watch grow up and develop…

By far the smallest but by far the biggest heart – she was a little tired on Sunday…

She really had packed a lot of fun and fuss into the previous three days lol…

Her new mum and dad had brought almost every conceivable piece of puppy paraphernalia !!!

Tilly was just delighted to be going home to such a lovely family…

She has a great life in front of her with a really big extended family…

That evening as we let Mazsola Max and Lulu out to play it really hit us hard…

All our little Goldendoodle pups grown up and leaving home…

Millie was quiet and more than a little sad…

But “Mad Maz” soon got her out of her quiet mood by jumping all over her until Millie had to play !!!

Millie has taken the loss of her pups extremely well…

On Monday she went for a doggie spa day and had a lovely time at HANDSOME HOUNDS…

Millie has bubble bath pedicure cut and blow dry !!!

We think she looks absolutely stunning and truly deserved the treat…



MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE BACK FROM THE GROOMERS

We’re off for a mad Midlands Doodle Meet tomorrow night…

Millie will get to see her bestest mate in the whole world Biddy (and Lynn lol)…

If she knew she’d been unable to contain herself lol…

Millie truly deserves the best of times – she’s been through a hell of a lot…

We can’t wait to take her for a much needed break in September…

AND with the prospect of meeting up with Murphy and his family – should be brilliant !!!

I know the families of the last three Goldendoodle puppies are equally excited as everyone else has been…

Mazsola and Lulu leave us this Friday with Max (“Dave”) staying an extra week…



MAX THE GOLDENDOODLE I LOVE HIM TO PIECES !!!

He’s become my very special little boy – he even howls like a wolf when I leave him…

Funny but Millie’s Dad is none to impressed lol…

I know I’m going to be upset when he leaves – not just because I adore him…

But more because he’ll be the last…

We had considered Millie having another litter in a couple of years time…

But her proneness to mastitis and the fact we could’ve lost her says a definite NO !!!

We shall have her spayed in the very near future and maybe – just maybe get another ‘doodle down the line..?

That’s something we shall be considering as we have decided when the time is right to hit the country !!!

OK I’m blabbering on now to avoid thinking to hard about missing the pups lol…

Phew what a journey – what an experience – what an incredible time this has been…

I sometimes sit back and think bloody hell did we really do all that…

I’m so proud to see Millie’s puppies doing her proud…

By all accounts they really are little ladies and gentlemen…

What more could anyone want..?

OK the blog has been going long before the puppies came along so don’t be strangers !!!

There will be plenty more tales from Millie and her babies…

And we still have three here lol…

Thanks for the flowers plants and wine – very very much appreciated !!!

And please do keep all those emails texts and calls coming – I’m a puppy news addicit ha ha…

Lots of love ~ KATE ~ MILLIE ~ MAZSOLA ~ LULU AND MAX (aka Dave lol)

She had her operation with no problems whatsoever…

She has even left her stitches alone – so no need for the silly collar !!!

Her appetite is a not as good as we might hope – she even refused fresh trout yesterday lol…

But I’m sure it’s just a passing phase…

The good news is she is able to see her puppies – one at a time for short periods…

We managed to film the first encounter between her and Molly (red)…

I was close to tears it was just so moving and beautiful…

One by one all the pups have had 10 minutes with their mom…

It had been so long some were a little frightened and only a few tried to suckle…

We’re glad Millie is now able to play an albeit small part in their development…

She’s still on antibiotics and milk suppressing tablets – and still a little sad…

Hopefully she’ll get though this and enjoy the last couple of weeks with her babies…



COOKIE GETS TO PLAY WITH HER MOM

OK onto the beautiful Goldendoodle puppies…

They have grown so much this last week it’s unbelievable !!!

And with that comes the extra work – we are now more kennel managers than “grandparents” lol…

What I’m trying to say is the size of their piddles and poops has reached shovel proportions ha ha…

And given their intake of food and drink (huge) – there isn’t a spare moment…

OK maybe the odd half an hour here and there – but not much lol…

But even on those rare occasions when they are all asleep (BLISS!!!) – one will wake up…

It’s usually Digby (Orange) – who yawns – scratches – then wanders over to the newspaper and piddles…



DIGBY CONTEMPLATES THE MEANING OF LIFE AND ALL THAT

Before staggering back to the puppy pile and waking everyone up by walking over them…

He’ll fall back to sleep but the others get up and so the cycle goes…

Oh boy does Digby grumble when they tread on him !!!

They are all about 65% trained to go on paper – there’s a couple who miss often…

But all in all they appear to understand the concept…

However there’s a couple of little terrors who adore ripping up the paper…

Lulu (white) – Mazsola (lilac) – Murphy (aqua) and Molly (red) are the main culprits…

With Lulu being the main instigator – she’s a little sparky madam lol…

She does NOT like the dustpan and brush and Millie’s Dad has a right battle with her lol…

But she’s as gorgeous as she’s cheeky – always into mischief !!!

The fantastic news is they are now eating kibble WITHOUT any water or Lactol…

This is great news for the new families and will mean a lot less mess…

We still offer three “wet meals” per day – but with hardly any water…

We also leave a bowl of dry kibble for them to graze on – alongside a bowl of water…

However we have decided to continue with three Lactol breaks per day…

They missed so much of their mother’s milk we think it can only help them…

Plus they absolutely adore it and see it as the highlight of their day lol…

They really do enjoy lapping water – and yeah what goes in has to come out…

Our newspaper pile is dwindling at an alarming rate…

Now we charge friends and neighbours newspapers to come cuddle the ‘doodle pups ha ha…

We did promise a video of them all in the garden – but torrential rain and gale force winds curtailed that…

As soon as the weather brightens we’ll get one up !!!

Until then here’s a very short one lol…





MAZSOLA MAX AND COOKIE MAKE A BID FOR FREEDOM


4am appears to be their wake up time – the whole street hears them too lol…

The noise is absolutely deafening !!!

You really do have to hit the ground running…

Their room is usually a bit messy and they are very hungry and let you know it…



THIS IS YOUR 4 AM WAKE-UP CALL – ROOM SERVICE HERE SUCKS


It takes us a good half an hour to clean feed and get them settled – but even then they want to play…

And these days the little ‘doods play very very hard…

Play fighting – rough and tumble and chewing on anything that isn’t nailed down !!!

Their favourite teething toys appears to be fingers and feet – those teeth are SHARP !!!

But Millie’s Dads Crocs are still the best toys in the world – that and his trousers ha ha…



MURPHY PLAYING IT COOL – A MOMENT LATER HE ALMOST PULLED THE CROCS OFF !!!




CROCS AS A TOY AND…



CROCS AS A PILLOW !!!

OK I’ll leave you with the latest puppy photos…

I have a room to clean AGAIN !!!

I just have to show you this photo of little Tilly…

Isn’t she a little cutie lol…



See you all very very soon now – lots of love Kate ~ Millie and the little ‘Doods XxX

PRESENTING DOODLE DOG PHOTOS – UPLOAD AND SHARE YOUR PUPPY AND DOG PHOTOS


SUBSCRIBE TO MILLIE’S GOLDENDOODLE YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR MORE VIDEOS

WOW !!!

What a hectic but wonderful weekend that was !!!

It was “choose your puppy time” – and how difficult you all found it…

However thanks to the blog most of you had your minds made up all ready…

We had a good idea which pups would go to which family…

Maybe there was a couple of surprises – but I hope you are all more than happy !!!

And looking forward to wonderful years ahead with your very own Goldendoodle…

As I’ve said so often – they are incredible dogs…

Funny – smart and faithful as the day is long…

And boy do they stand out in a crowd !!!

Be prepared to be stopped everywhere and asked “he/she’s gorgeous – what is he/she..? ”

When Millie and me go out I set aside an extra half an hour for people lol…

OK before I name the names – I’ll give you a quick update on Millie…

We have had to keep her away from her babies (heartbreaking) due to her open wound…

The vet was able to snip a piece off and the wound is now clean and pink…

We have had to bathe it three or four times per day – Millie has been amazing…

She’s still on the antibiotics and returns to the vet on Tuesday for corrective surgery…

I really don’t know how much more of this our little girl can take…

But like the vet has said – she’s an A1 dog and will surely shine through it all…

Lets hope so…



ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY – MILLIE THE FIRST ‘DOODLE IN SPACE ??!!!??

So to this weekend and what a wonderful weekend it was…

The first families really wanted to be here at the crack of dawn on Saturday…

However we had pressing issues with Millie – so 11am was better lol…

First little girl family arrived and faced a dilemma – was it to be Red or Purple…

However it was little Yellow and Pink who pranced and danced wriggled and woo’ed them lol…

But despite their antics their hearts were drawn towards Red and Purple…

After much debate and heart searching it was indeed Red or should I say MOLLY who was chosen…

I couldn’t have chosen between those two beauties !!!

It was one happy couple who left us thinking all things ‘Doodle…

The next family arrived during first choice and sat outside catching glimpses of their boy through the window…

They had indeed made their minds up totally and had even brought an Aqua coloured lead and collar lol…

It was fantastic to see them meet MURPHY…

“He’s the laid back fat lad I expected…” said mum…

Well yes – he ahem was lol…

This last 24 hours has seen a slight change in our laid back lad…

He’s becoming very assertive and more than a little inquisitive lol…



MURPHY THE PHANTOM BAG SNATCHER


He’s going to be an absolute cracker…

A big gentle cuddly bear of a dog with more than an ounce of cheek !!!

The family who had reserved the second boy couldn’t make it…

But a phone call was greeted with joy as they proudly named Blue pup MAX !!!

That’s my son’s name too lol – and they have the same tinge of hair colour ha ha…

He too is a big boy and in the middle of all the mischief…

That meant the last boy was yeah you guessed it Orange…

I may have given the little chap a bad press (definitely lol) but he is quite bonkers lol…

However he too has changed a little over the past few days…

Sure he’s a noisy ‘dood at the very heart of all the anarchy and mischief…

But boy does he love a real cuddle and tummy tickle lol – big soppy ‘dood really…

I know the dad of the family wanted a big dog – and you got it – just look at his feet !!!

He is going to be one beautiful big Goldendoodle who’s going to the perfect family…

And the bonkers boy’s name..?

What else for the biggest personality of the bunch than DIGBY…

Cool – cute and very very apt…

Anyone remember the film..?



DIGBY THE ‘DOODLE – A QUIET MOMENT (LOL)

That brought Saturday to a close – and our pups were quite exhausted…

Sunday was an all girls day with the first family finding it really hard to choose…

For a long time it looked like Lilac was the choice…

But after heart searching Purple was proudly named COOKIE…

A sweet name for a very sweet little girl…

She really is a stunner and a delightful mix of feisty and cuddly…



COOKIE SOON TO BE THE LADY OF THE MANOR LOL

She really is going to live in the lap of luxury with a wonderful family…

Heated swimming pool anyone lol…

If ever you want a dog sitter we are available ha ha…

And thank you so much for the Orchid and wine…

I shall save the wine for a “quiet night” if we ever get one again lol…

If family number one found the choice hard family number two really did struggle (who can blame them)…

Again Lilac was the first choice with mum and daughter absolutely adoring her…

However little White was always trotting over to them…

And she became really playful making the little girl squeal with delight…

“But I like Pinky too” she said…

“Can we have two” said mum ha ha…

In the end White – or should I now say LULU was the chosen one…



TWO LITTLE CUTIES WHO BONDED IMMEDIATELY

They have a another slightly older dog and said LULU’s fesity-ness was the clincher…

She is going to have such a wonderful home and be a much loved little ‘doodle…

Unbelievably – and how different from Saturday when they all seemed to sleep during the choosing …

On Sunday they were all up and about and being almost boisterous – more like they are at 3am !!!!!!!!!!

So showing no signs of tiredness the remaining three pups waited for the final two visitors…

A family from Wales arrived and absolutely fell head over heels in love with Millie…

Despite her nasty wound Millie was absolutely charming and almost ate the treats they’d bought her lol…

(her appetite is a little jaded at the moment)

Once again Lilac was the immediate choice – however Yellow and Pink “did the girl band act” and stole the show…

After yet more heart rendering decisions it was Yellow who was the chosen one…

And at the time of writing she’s still “YELLOW” lol…

“We’re terrible at names ” said mum ” we have a cat called Boy…”

As soon as we know we’ll post it lol…

They live not very far from our favourite camp site…

So I’m pretty sure we’ll meet up over the coming years…

And so to our last visitors of the day…

By this stage Millie’s dad was in a bit of a grump…

I asked why and he shrugged and said ” No one wants Liley…”

Lilac (Liley to him lol) has been his favourite for an age…

The two of them have a lovely bond – bless him lol…

I didn’t know what to say…



MASOLA THE GOLDENDOODLE FORMERLY KNOWN AS LILAC

Our final family were a lovely couple who came all the way from Liverpool…

They’d had a wonderful Golden Retriever who’d given them years of joy…

They felt after her another Retriever would never quite match up…

But a Goldendoodle sounded perfect…

On hearing that – it was no surprise to us that Pink – or should I say TILLY was chosen…

Of all the puppies she’s definitely the most Goldie…

And the name chosen for her is truly lovely and very special to us…

It’s Millie’s Dad’s maternal grandmothers nickname…

TILLY is going to have an amazing life with a truly kind caring and very loving family…

Before Millie’s dad could say “can we keep her…” I was on the phone to the final reserved girl family…

“You have Lilac” I said – and I was delighted to hear them cheer…

Their children in particular fired off a long list of questions…

And yes she really can run fast especially when it’s dinner time !!!

Even Millie’s Dad was pleased if a little sad he couldn’t keep her…

Funny that given all along he’s said no to keeping one lol…

A little while later they emailed with her name…

“MASOLA” they said – “it’s Hungarian for little raisin…”

What a truly beautiful name for a truly beautiful little Goldendoodle…

Of them all she’s the most “doodly” if there is such a word…

Phew!!!

6 LITTLE GOLDENDOODLES WINDING DOWN AT THE END OF A HARD DAY
the other three were fast asleep !!!

Nine little puppies and nine expectant and I hope happy and proud families…

It’s only four weeks until the big collection day…

And given how this first month has flown by…

I’m pretty sure it will be gone in the blink of an eye…

But these are extremely important times for little puppies…

From 4 weeks old mum would begin socializing them…

Showing them right from wrong and teaching them to be dogs…

With Millie absent it’s up to us to do that…

Daunting and a lot of hard work but we owe it to you and more importantly Millie…

To produce well mannered well balanced little ‘doodles…

I however draw the line at licking their faces and backs whilst on all fours…

“I just want to give them the experience of a mom cleaning them ” says my mad as a hatter partner…

Me I’ll just stick to top and tailing with a warm flannel at the end of their day…

That’s about as cute as it gets…

Umm did I say “end of their day..?”

Silly me – each three or four hours seems to roll into one lol…

It’s rewarding but tough and thanks to those of you saying how “worn out” we looked lol…

A nice way of saying we looked like hell and smelled of puppy piddle poo and formula ha ha…

OK I hear the pitter patter of tiny feet…

I shall no doubt be faced with huge puppy piles and puddles everywhere…

Thanks again to you all for everything…

Please keep in touch and we shall of course treat each little ‘doodle like the precious bundle of joy they are…

As always lots of love Millie ~ Kate and the little ‘Doodles…

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 !!!

It all came on so suddenly late last night…

She had eaten well through the day and had willingly fed the puppies…

However about 11pm I had to take her to the vet…

She could barely move and was running a very high fever…



BATHING POOR MILLIE’S SORE NIPPLES

He gave her the same antibiotic and pain killing injection as before…

As well as a course of tablets – safe for the puppies…

We have been up all night with her – so please understand a brief post today…

I’m nursing her with the help of the puppies and hot water bottles and a warm compress…

She’s allowing the pups to nurse on the swollen breast and this is more than helping…

We are of course very worried…

However as I write this brave little Millie is feeding her puppies…

I can’t tell you how emotional we’ve been…

But with nine little pups we have just had to carry on…



LILAC GIVES MOM SOME LOVE WHILST BLUE PUP SUCKLES

On a lighter and brighter note the little ‘doodles had their first milky kibble meal this morning…

(more photos at the end of this post)

As you can see from the photos they did extremely well and we are very relieved…

They really are thriving – real cheeky little puppies !!!

However we have decided against moving them into the dining room today…

We feel this would be too much stress for Millie – the last thing she’s needs right now is change…

So I shall leave you with some of the latest photos of the Goldendoodle puppies…

Thanks and much love Millie ~ Kate and the little ‘Doodles…

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

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…

The “DOODS” have not only found their collective voices…

But have also began to take those first real steps!!!

Given the World Cup is on constantly in our house…

At least the little doods squawks and squeaks drowns out that awful vuvuzela buzz lol…

As for taking their first real steps – it can be a tiring business…

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER SHARE A TRULY TENDER MOMENT

Purple was the first little Goldendoodle puppy to try to stand…

After all she was also the first to scream for her mum (boy she has a voice ha ha)…

And that has enabled her to get the “drop” on the others when it comes to feeding…

As you can see as soon as Millie arrives in the nest – they go berserk…

As the day wore on they all began standing – to varying degrees of success !!!

This morning they were all absolutely worn out with the exercise and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast with mom…




We have of course being weighed the little ‘doodles daily…

And once again I’m delighted to sat they are all thriving – and couldn’t be in better health…

Last week for instance when we changed their bedding we were using a tiny basket…

Yesterday my partner had to use a full sized laundry basket to fit them all in !!!

A BASKETFUL OF DOODLE PUPPIES !!!

Millie had another check up at the vet yesterday…

Being a former nurse I noticed her swollen nipple was looking a little sore…

The swelling had gone down considerably – but the skin around it was tender and red…

It was probably caused by tiny little doodle feet – the vet took a look and gave her the all clear…

However she has been given more antibiotics to keep it under control…

She shows no sign of discomfort and the pups have done her proud clearing it out !!!

OK a little later today we shall be taking individual portrait photographs of the Goldendoodle pups…

And we shall post them tomorrow so you can all get a clearer look at the little darlings…

Until then just to say Millie is now on Facebook and Twitter haha – checkout the links in the sidebar !!!

Her daddy is also working on – of all things – a Facebook application !!!

My partner got the idea after the photo of Millie the Goldendoodle in her England flag was tagged on Facebook…

Quite a few people are using that photo – some even as their profile photo…

MILLIE WEARING THE ENGLAND WORLD CUP FLAG ON FACEBOOK

The photo has appeared on the official English FA page and Carlsberg for England !!!

And best news of all the OFFICIAL FA BACK THE BID 2018 (the World Cup In England) want the original photo !!!

We’re all pleased but Millie’s dad is ecstatic – he says she really is the World Cup Goldendoodle haha…

He thinks we should get Millie and agent – good Lord what next !!!

OOOps and don’t forget Millie has her own You Tube Channel…

We have a ton of videos waiting to upload – so don’t forget to subscribe

OK that’s it for now – don’t hesitate to contact me via email – guest book or comments – I love to hear from you all…

Until tomorrow loads of love…

KATE – MILLIE and the little DOODS XxX

After all the drama of mastitis I’m glad to say all is back to normal…

Well as normal as things can be with these little Goldendoodle puppies lol…

I took Millie back to the vets on Sunday morning…

We were pretty sure she was on the mend…

In fact the vet was extremely pleased with her…

The antibiotics and the suckling pups have almost brought the swelling in her nipple down…

She’s a lot more comfortable and nursing her puppies extremely well…

The vet was impressed too…

“I’m very taken with this dog…she has a wonderful nature…”

High praise indeed and I’m sure her puppies will have lovely characters too…



SEPARATED AT BIRTH Ha Ha..?

Not much else to report really…

Apart from them all getting fresh paper collars on Sunday afternoon…

They have all put so much weight on I am running out of collars ha ha…

I maybe have enough for one more change – note to me order some more…

It’s lovely to see their characters coming out even at this early stage…

Purple collar for instance is a little bossy madam…

Boy does she assert herself…

My partner is quite taken with her – except at 3 am when she squawks – loudly – for attention ha ha…

The little pink girl was the smallest and we have kept an eye on her feeding…

I’m happy to say not only has she gained a load of weight this weekend…

She’s also getting the hang of pushing the bigger pups out of the way lol…

OK I’ll leave with a handful of new Goldendoodle puppy pictures…
