Hello I’m Millie’s Dad – and what a Father’s Day weekend I’ve had !!!

The pups have had a real growth and development spurt – Kate will be amazed later today !!!

As you can see from the video the pups are now beginning to play fight…

And vocally they’ve started giving cute little growls…

But all this playing – poohing (more about that in a minute lol) and feeding is a tiring business…

I have to say they are growing up fast…

Purple Pup even made a break for freedom !!!

Millie had left the box and I was feeding her in the dining room…

I returned to watch the football to hear an angry squeak…

Millie had pushed a cuddly toy near the box entrance…

And Purple Pup had used it as a launch ramp…

She was skittering across the floor making a hell of a racket…

Millie raced in and gave me a look of total and utter contempt…

As if it was all my fault !!!



MILLIE NOT HAPPY WITH HER DAD SEEKS COMFORT IN A PUPPY TOY


As if that was bad enough…

A little while later when the puppies were settled I decided to cut the lawn…

Millie has always loved to help – and typically fell asleep under the bush…

Twenty minutes later I returned and my nose told me something was not quite right…

You guessed it – puppy poop fight !!!

I’ll spare you the photos lol – suffice it to say it was a mess !!!

It would appear two of the little ‘doodles had woken at the same time and moved their bowels…

(Millie usually cleans this up immediately she gets the scent)

It was obviously tiring for them so they had fallen asleep…



WAIT ‘TILL KATE GETS BACK I’M TELLING

The others had thought it was jolly good fun to join them…

The end result – 9 little Goldendoodle puppies covered in gooey puppy poo…

I was frantic – I’d already annoyed Millie…

I popped them all in a large basket lined with a towel and began cleaning as best I could…

After five minutes I looked up to see Millie glowering at me…

Not a happy mom lol…

She went into super mom mode and began topping and tailing them – vigorously lol…

Half an hour later they were all good as new and snuggled up to mom for a long sleep…

All I can say is it’s been amazing but boy am I glad Kate’s back later today…

And I have no doubt Millie and the baby ‘Doods are too…

C’ya – Millie’s Dad…

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

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…

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…

And oh boy did she enjoy it – albeit a very brief respite from the doodle puppies…

We were not at all sure she’d want to leave them…

But she instigated it by sitting at the front door and responding to “do you want a walk..?”

Can’t be much clearer than that ha ha…

My partner was overjoyed to be able to take her out…

He works from home so has “missed his baby” this week (bless him lol)…

MILLIE TAKES A RARE BREATHER FROM HER LITTER OF GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES


She pulled all the way to her favourite field less than a minutes walk away and ran and rolled like a puppy…

She was only gone 10 minutes but in that time I was able to clean out the whelping box and check the puppies over…

The great news is they are all healthy and gaining weight…

Some more than others – but there are no problems whatsoever…

WEIGHING NEW BORN GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES – THIS ONE IS THE NOISIEST OF THE BUNCH!!!

On her return Millie was straight in there nudging them all into position…

The noise they made on her return was a complete joy…

They really are vigorous feeders…

So much so I’ve noticed Millie’s nipples are very sore…

I spoke to a close friend of mine who owns a farm…

She has bred working sheepdogs for years and knows only too well the problem…

She has recommended a puppy safe cream which I’m applying this morning…

Let’s hope it gives Millie some relief…

Not much more to add this morning – mum and her puppies are doing very very well…

I’ll leave you with a video of Millie and her litter feeding…

As you can see she’s a fantastic mum…

As always thanks for your emails and messages of support – it means so much to us all…

Love Kate – Millie and the Pups XxX

What an absolute dream mum Millie is !!!

OK the best thing to do is start at the beginning…

I spoke to a lot of you on the phone yesterday…

And I guess you could see how excited I was – very wired and high ha ha…

OK – around 4pm on Monday evening Millie began the first stages of labour…

She was restless and panting and anxious…

She eventually settled in her whelping box around midnight…

MILLIE SETTLES IN HER COMFORTABLE WHELPING BOX

I stayed on the sofa next to her and had to let her out a couple of times for the call of nature…

Otherwise she slept reasonably well until 4am…

My partner came down to give me a break – but I couldn’t sleep !!!



MILLIE AND HER DADDY


By 10am Millie was pacing more often…

She sat next to my partner on the floor and her tummy suddenly contracted four times…

She jumped up with alarm as her waters broke…

As if by magic she ran to her whelping box and began pushing…

Within a few minutes the first puppy was born…

My heart skipped a beat as I wondered how Millie would take to this…

I needn’t have worried – we helped her clear the little girls mouth – who let out an almighty squawk !!!

Millie was absolutely fantastic – she instinctively ate the placentae leaving a perfect little strand left…

Within 13 minutes Millie was pushing again !!!

Another little Goldendoodle girl puppy arrived in the world and again letting out an almighty squeak !!!



AND THEN THERE WERE TWO GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES !!!


The next three came at 10 minute intervals and we began wondering just how many were in there lol…

The scan had shown us at least 5…

Within a few minutes the sixth arrived…

This time he came out tail first with one leg showing…

Despite Millie’s pushing he would not budge…

We managed to calm her down and get a little traction and with on last push out he popped…

He was a little listless but a good licking from mum and he coughed out some mucus and was fine…

In fact he’s become a right noisy little puppy !!!



NINE PERFECT MINUTES OLD GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES


After nine we were hoping that really was it – after all Millie only has nine nipples !!!

We waited and watched as mum cleaned and loved her litter…

After an hour we decided that was indeed it and gave them a little privacy (watching from a distance)…

Millie was incredible – none stop cleaning nudging and positioning the little pups where she wanted them…

We offered her some water and she gulped it down bless her – thirsty work indeed…

After 3 hours she sat up – it was a sight to see nine little doodles dropping off her lol…

She ran to the patio doors – raced outside and had the longest wee in history…

She immediately flew back to her Goldendoodle puppies and organized them where she wanted…

What an absolute star she is!!!




NINE NIPPLES AND NINE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES !!!


For the next three hours mum and the puppies bonded and slept on and off…

Millie was exhausted but still woke immediately she heard one of them cry…

By 8 pm we felt it was the right time to clean the whelping box…

Millie was a little nervous about getting out – but we placed the puppies in a snug box where she could see them…

She even enjoyed a sponge down with warm water…

Once the bed was clean and snug mum and pups settled down for the night…

I decided to stay on the sofa near them over night – but not interfere…

I’d love to say Millie and me had a unbroken nights sleep – but with nine little pups hardly !!!

The short video shows mum and her pups first thing this morning – so happy and contented…

And what beautiful colours they all are – my partner calls them the Spice Girls ha ha…




THE SPICE GIRLS AND BOYS CUTE DAY OLD GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES


Being a former nurse I just HAVE to weigh and monitor my charges lol…

So I’m adding completely safe paper colour coded collars and weighing the pups daily !!!

I shall keep you all informed of their progress so stay tuned !!!

I really should be tired – but this has been such an amazing experience I’m wide awake !!!

I am so proud of our little girl it’s untrue – she has been and is being simple amazing…

We are blessed with Millie and I know her puppies are going to make people so very happy…

Ok I shall write more later – until then lots of love from me Kate…

And of course love licks and wags from Millie and the Spice Girls and Boys!!!

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
