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…

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

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…

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

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…

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

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 !!!
