And as you can see he’s growing into a gorgeous young ‘doodle…

There’s little doubt he’s going to be huge and very very strong…

And that is the main reason I am taking the lead in his training…

As he gets bigger and stronger I will need him to respect me for his and my good lol…

He will be able to go for his first walk outdoors next week – should be fun lol…

And the week after I’m going to take him to puppy classes – watch this space!!!

Millie didn’t do puppy classes as Neil took charge…

She’s such a well mannered and well behaved dog because we – Neil in particular – was very strict with her as puppy…

I used to worry we were maybe a little too hard – but oh boy has she turned out well…

MILLIE SHOWS WALLY HOW TO WAIT

Now to our Wally – and oh dear do we have some “issues” to sort out…

None more so than his behaviour at night – or come to that when left alone or I leave him – even for a few minutes…

I have known dogs that whine and bark when left alone – and regulars will remember Millie’s pup “Dave…”

Boy did that little ‘dood howl at night lol…

But with Wally it borders on hysteria…



WALLY THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY LOOKING CALM BEFORE THE STORM LOL


He cannot be left alone for even a moment without his almost manic behaviour appearing…

If I leave he throws himself around the house wailing and with much gnashing of teeth…

He cries whines barks and generally works himself up into such a state…

It’s even worse at night – last night it was 45 minutes before I had to comfort him…

I’m not joking when he say HYSTERICAL…

Neil has tried – just once – his tried and tested “pack leader” approach – but Wally became absolutely petfrified…

He yelped shook cowered and hid from Neil despite him holding out his fave treat…

It took half a day for Wally to even relax in a room with Neil…

I felt for them both lol…

So it’s going to have to be the long steady gradual way with Wally…

That means a heck of a lot of work – but I’m sure it will be rewarded in the end…

Now where did I put the Dog Whisperer book haha…

God bless her Millie is doing more than any of us to settle the little chap…

She really is a star and he and she adore each other…

It’s not all bad – Wally is a gorgeous Goldendoodle – funny cute and very loving…

And we all absolutely adore him – but for his sake and our sanity we have to crack this lol…

OK I’ll love and leave you all – thnaks for you kind messages very much appreciated…

And just a quick mention to a very clever Goldendoodle Doodle-Lu…

She was giving birth to her first litter the other night…

Mum was a little worried about things but luckily I was on line and able to take on the role of Cyber Midwife lol…

I’m pleased and proud to say mum and pups are doing great…

Until the next time…

Loads of love licks and wags – Millie ~ Kate and Wally

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)

5 AM TODAY THE PUPS WANNA PLAY !!!

5 MINUTES EARLIER SLEEPY LITTLE PUPPIES READY FOR THE DAY

(sorry for the delay in posting – madness here lol)

IT REALLY is the last full day with the whole litter of Goldendoodle puppies…

I said yesterday the time has flown by – it really truly has…

I’ve been awake since 3am listening out for them kind of hoping they’d wake early lol…

But no – they’re sleeping soundly and have been since 8 pm last night – good kids ha ha…

OK I shall be writing this on and off this morning – and hopefully adding some nice photos too…

So as promised – and the girls first – I present Millie’s Goldendoodle Puppies…

TILLY – aka Pink – Pinky – Tiz




We call her the Doodle Dynamo lol…

She’s the smallest but one of the toughest…

She grabs life and runs with it at high speed…

Everything is exciting and a challenge…

She was the first to take to solid food…

As cute as she’s nutty Tilly is first one folks pick up and fuss…

She’s always the first to trot over to say hello…

She’s fearless and never backs down in a squabble…

She absolute loves Lilly – those two are inseparable…

And together they kick some ass lol…

The “Scouse Mouse” might be tiny…

But she has bags of heart and spirit…

Bloody gorgeous…

If Tilly Could Speak: “It’s amaaaaazing!!!”

Voted The Puppy Most Likely To: Break a bone by jumping from great heights !!! Hold her tight !!!

LILLY – aka Yellow or see below !!!



Lilo Lil’ as she’s been affectionately named…

Those old enough to remember the TV show Bread will get it lol…

“She is a TART!” was the cry ha ha…

And our little Lilly just loves cuddles kisses and love…

She absolutely seems to spend 50% of her time on her back !!!

Always helping to clean the boys bits – she’s also a little madam…

If there’s trouble Lilly will be in the midst of things…alongside her best mate Tilly – what a pair !!!

This last couple of days she’s begun to assert herself somewhat…

The bigger pups are quite startled by her growls and yaps lol…

Millie has a tough time with her as she never keeps still !!!

She will race outside whilst being cleaned with Millie hot on her heels…

Lilly will then squeeze under something and yap at her mum…

It drives Millie mental ha ha…

I absolutely adore her coat – making her look like a sleek marmalade tabby cat…

A petite stunner she’s going to be a very very pretty dog…

If Lilly Could Speak: “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours !!!”

Voted The Puppy Most Likely To: Be the first to ahem conceive ha ha…

Lulu – aka White – Whitey – GetOff and LeaveIt !!!



Began life as a quiet little pup who’s eyes used to bore into you…

Almost as if everything was your fault lol…

With her oversized white collar we called her the Little Vicar…

These days we seem to call her “Hey StoppIit” !!!

She really is a proper little puppy – fluffy pretty and plump…

Don’t be fooled she’s a feisty little soul…

The shouts coming from the puppy room are hilarious…

It usually means Lulu has…

…ran off with the newspaper – sat in the water bowl – grabbed the kitchen roll OR…

Attacked the mop !!!

You cannot clean in her presence she just wants to help !!!

I’ve lost count of the amount of times we’ve chased her down the garden to get a cloth back…

Even the hoover holds no fear – most pups scatter she rushes it !!!

Despite that streak of mischief she’s a very loving puppy…

Always there or there abouts when it’s cuddle time…

She’s going to make a very solid beautiful Goldendoodle – a bombproof beauty…

If Lulu Could Speak: “Chase me – go on catch me !!!”

Voted The Puppy Most Likely To: Have the vets scratching their heads as to how she could eat a whole hoover !!!

Molly – aka Red – Princess and Molly Malone




Within days she stood out as a true beauty…

As she grew older she was also the most aloof…

Always slightly away from the litter she was the obvious litter leader…

It was a real privilege when she came for some fuss…

As she’s developed her initial standoffish behaviour has gone…

She’s a true fusspot and absolutely adores being fussed and cuddled…

She’s up there as one of the most affectionate of the litter…

However she certainly can and does (often) assert herself…

Everyone who meets her say how beautiful she is and boy doesn’t she know it…

We call her the Princess – and she seems to get that ha ha…

However there’s a real tomboy streak to her…

This little girl just loves to dig – protect your lawns (and putting greens lol) !!!

First into the mud – first into the fights and the first to truly bark…

And her latest trick is to clack her teeth together as a warning to the other pups…

It totally freaks them out !!!

I really can’t wait to see her grow up – she’s going to be breathtaking…

If Molly Could Speak: “Do you know who I am..?”

Voted Puppy Most Likely To: Wear a diamond collar or mate with a Royal Corgi lol…

Cookie – Purple – Purps – Cooks and Baby Girl



Nearly an identical twin sister of Molly…

Almost pure white and extremely attractive with a silky shiny coat…

She’s a little heartbreaker…

Cookie is the baby girl of the bunch…

The first to cry for her mommy and the first to cry when things are not to her liking…

HOWEVER…

As the weeks has passed her confidence has grown…

She is now an absolute little star and we adore her…

The first to bed and the last one awake she is deceptively big and strong…

On your lap she gives you the doleful big eyes nibbles gently and licks nicely…

Before closing her jaws in a vice like grip and grinding down HARD !!!

Many of the pups have tasted Cookie’s teeth lol…

She takes no nonsense from anyone but absolutely loves to be fussed…

She was tough to train to newspaper until we realised she prefers broadsheets !!!

She’s a little charmer who is the perfect puppy in the window dog…

The kind of puppy artists draw in children’s books…

She’s gorgeous cheeky a tad sensitive at times but absolutely full of love and fun…

A real Goldendoodle beauty in the making…

If Cookie Could Speak: “Listen I am not going to piddle on the Sun – bring me the Times – and ironed my good man”…lol

Voted Puppy Most Likely To: Win a prettiest puppy contest or eat a whole hand !!!

Mazsola – aka Lilac – Liley – Lilac Whine and Mad Maz




Regular readers will know Lilac intimately ha ha…

Oh boy did she cause mayhem in the whelping box !!!

And nope things haven’t changed lol…

Her name is Hungarian for Little Raisin – read that as little raising hell !!!

OK I’m teasing – but she’s by far the feistiest of the girls…

100% no nonsense I’m in charge or else tomboy with mischief as her middle name !!!

The epitomy of an F1B Goldendoodle she is going to have an amazing coat…

At the moment she may look like she has a permanent frown lol…

Far from it – in full flight and when the camera’s off her lol – she’s absolutely gorgeous and very very pretty…

She totally terrorizes Millie who absolutely adores her…

Those two always seem to be in the bed play fighting (with Maz winning lol)…

Otherwise she’s Speedy Gonzales tearing around the garden leaping on others backs !!!

It’s either 1000mph or complete stop with “Maz”…

But – and get this – she’s a real cuddly little puppy when the mood takes her…

I know a certain someone who has a real soft spot for her and she for him

She’s one I can barely wait to see all grown up – a real A Typical Goldendoodle…

If Mazsola Could Speak: “I’m a lover AND a fighter…but mostly a fighter…”

Voted Puppy Most Likely To: Shave her head and wear Doc Martins and boiler suit lol… (only teasing)

Murphy – aka Aqua – Flash and Smurf




About as cool and laid back as you can get apart from Max lol…

Nicknamed Flash – as in that gorgeous white streak on his head…

Certainly not for any speed he may show lol…

Sure he trots – rarely runs unless the goats milk is being poured…

Boy can that little lad run then !!!

He really is an absolutely gorgeous little dog…

Full of fluffy loves kisses and cuddles…

With more than an ounce of mischief and fun…

To my knowledge he’s never snapped or snarled – but he sure can yap !!!

He’ll grumble and let you know if you’re ignoring him…

Happy to play on his own with a ball – he’s shown amazing ball skills lol…

Saying that he was also the first one to “hump…”

At three weeks old one wonders if that’s a record ha ha…

To date he has humped pretty much everything including a plastic plant pot lol…

(well it was pink so I guess that’s OK ha ha)…

He is a gentle little soul and like nothing better than having his ears rubbed as he falls asleep…

He’s one that will be sorely missed – a real little treasure who will make his new family very happy…

If Murphy Could Speak: “Just call me Mr Lover Man and come over here sweet cheeks…”

Voted Puppy Most Likely To: Embarrass you by humping your Granny’s leg lol…

Max – Blue aka Bluey and Dave



For some reason Millie’s Dad calls him Dave and it has stuck lol…

He is the real surfer beach boy of the litter…

Laid back – lush and horizontal in the land of nod for 75% of the time lol…

There’s slow – lethargy and then there’s laid back love bunny Max…

If there’s any trouble he will seek you out for support…

Doesn’t like getting involved unless he really has to does our Max…

He is simply gorgeous and 100% totally huggable…

So gentle so kind and so full of love he’s on my lap the most…

He’s also the only one that really cries when we leave the room – aaah bless…

Saying that he can have his moments and yesterday he really kicked off…

Most of the rougher pups scattered as Max roared…

He’s going to be a true gentle giant of a dog…

I think he actually quite liked that as it meant he could sleep undisturbed ha ha…

He can and does sleep absolutely anywhere…

Not even the rattle of the milk bowl can rouse him lol…

I shall miss this little lad deeply – but hey I have him for two more weeks woohoo !!!

If Max Could Speak: “Like wow peace out man it’s just all so heavy – I need a hug…”

Voted Puppy Most lIkely To: Treat your kingsized bed as his own and rarely let you in !!!

Digby – Orange aka Orange-U-Tang and Diggers



Last but certainly not least is our old mate Digby…

Hey I apologize now for the bad press I gave the boy lol…

Readers will know all to well he was one noisy little puppy in his “younger days” lol…

He made a racket sounding like a constipated orang-outang with a red hot chilli up his bum !!!

Seriously high on the decibel level and annoying on the ears ha ha…

The fantastic news – for us and his new family is – he hasn’t done that for weeks !!!

In fact he was up until a couple of days ago the coolest little dood of the litter…

Rarely in trouble – rarely squabbling – rarely mixing…

He just did his doodle thing – ate – busy busy and sleep…

It was a rare honour for Diggers to wander over to say hello even more for him to stay on your lap lol…

He’d like to grab a hide chew and crash out at his fave spot in the garden and chill…

On Monday however he decided that Millie’s dad was his mate and no one else was allowed a look in…

This of course led to much kerfuffle in the doodle litter but none of them had faced an angry emotional Digby before…

Holy crap did he put the litter firmly in its place !!!

Over the last three days he has gone from the strong silent type to undisputed pack leader – well Mazsola keeps trying lol…

He’s going to be a very strong dog and will need that energy channelling – I hate to say it but maybe neutered too…

He’s not nasty at all – but he is showing the signs of being a future pack leader and is ultra smart if you catch my drift

He is a stunning boy who is going to be a complete bear of a Goldendoodle – can’t wait to see him grow…

If Digby Could Speak: “I’m the Godfather capiche..?”

Voted Puppy Most Likely To: Win the smartest dog competition he already tries to turn on the outdoor tap lol…

And there you have them all nine of the Goldendoodle puppies…

I’ve been as honest as I can be – and in all honesty there’s really nothing to hide…

They are all absolutely stunning bomb proof family ready little darlings…

They are eager to learn in desperate need on one to one training…

And to be given as much love as you can all muster…

There will be times when you want to tear your hair out…

And times when your heart will fill with absolute utter joy and love…

Mostly the latter

Goldendoodles are special dogs – funny crazy a little mad but so full of love it’s untrue…

They will fit in with whatever lifestyle you have…

Just remember exercise – discipline and affection…

It looked at times as if we were hard with Millie as a puppy…

But now when people say “what a well behaved dog” we swell with pride…

There’s no magic in bringing up a well grounded well mannered happy puppy…

It’s simply firm fair and consistent…

Your home your rules and they have to fit in with that – not you with them…

Remember Millie’s Dad’s simple adage – “they are dogs…”

I’ll leave it there for today…

Tomorrow’s (Friday) plans have changed a little…

I’m taking them all for their vet check and first injection in the morning…

Then at noon Lilly leaves us and then at 1pm Digby says farewell…

I shall let you know how it all goes tomorrow and probably add a few sites you might like to look at for puppy tips…

But as I shall say in the letters with the pups – we’re no experts but if you need us just call…

Right I’m off to spend more time with the litter – it is after all their last full day together…

As always much love and thanks for all your emails messages text and calls….

Kate ~ Millie ~ Tilly,Lulu,Lilly,Molly,Cookie,Mazsola,Murphy,Max and Digby the Doodles XxX

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

FIRSTLY my apologies for a complete lack of blog posts…

What with nursing Millie the Goldendoodle…

And raising 9 practically orphaned little Goldendoodle puppies…

Things have been you might say a little “busy” lol…

And more than a little chaotic – with a semblance of order – mostly ha ha…

Millie was due at the vets for her operation on Tuesday morning…

Sadly she still had too much milk and this was postponed until Thursday…

This of course means even longer away from her babies…

However she sailed through the operation…

The vet had to make the hole larger in order to join together the wound…

She came home groggy but waggy tailed late evening…

The veterinary nurses really didn’t want her to leave – they adore her lol…

She’s a little woozy now – still on strong painkillers – tablets to dry her milk up and antibiotics…

It will be some time yet before she is well enough to see her puppies…

She still cries when she hears them and is pretty depressed if truth be told…

Time is a great healer and we’re all sad she’s missed so much and been in so much pain and discomfort…

But she really is a great dog – a bloody superstar and we love her dearly…

OK to the little Goldendoodle Puppy tribe – the ‘Doodle puppies are doing extremely well…

We are talking an amazing growth spurt in the last week…

They are now more adventurous – sleep less during the day and play with a lot more energy (lol)…

(those teeth are sharp be warned !!!)

They are absolutely eating us out of house and home at the moment lol…

I seem to be at PETS AT HOME daily…

Pity they didn’t have a loyalty card – I’d be quids in ha ha…

Millie’s Dad says they must be crossed with Donkeys judging by the size of their poo’s lol…

They seem to play fight constantly and the pecking order changes by the minute !!!

Of them all tiny little Pinky – now Tillly – is by far the roughest lol…

She has to be I guess being so tiny compared to the others…

Lulu (White) and little Lilly (Yellow) are not far behind…

Meanwhile the big lads Max and Murphy (Blue and Aqua) are facing “Girl Power” lol…

Our old fave Digby (Orange) has over gone a complete sea change…

We haven’t heard him squawk for an age – but man does he like the girls !!!

He always seems to be snuggling up to Cookie (Purple) and Molly (Red)…

Those two girls are growing into beautiful looking ‘Doodles – Molly is now a little fusspot !!!

Boy does she come running for the cuddles !!!

Mazsola (Lilac) is the most daring – she is fearless !!!

Whatever happens or is introduced into the puppy pad – she’s in first…

She races around the room yapping and crashing into things…

Mostly other ‘Doodles lol…

They really are a fantastic litter of puppies…

And they really have decided we are mom and dad doodle lol…

It’s amazing to see them come running like a little herd of geese circling us until the food is put down…

And I’m very pleased at how sensible they are at meal times…

There’s hardly any squabbling – the odd little accident – but they have very good manners for almost 5 week old pups…

They are still on four meals of puppy kibble (Science Plan) per day – and a few Lactol (milk substitute) breaks…

That still remains the highlight of their day !!!

Feeding times are around midnight (milk) 4am (kibble) 8am (kibble) 11am (milk)…

3pm (kibble) 8pm (milky kibble) with water in between…

Those are approximate times and it does vary lol…

We are in and out of their room regularly clearing up great piles and puddles lol…

So as you can see it’s pretty much round the clock stuff lol…

Hard but about as rewarding as it can get !!!

Our neighbours have been fantastic and the whole street brings us newspapers…

And of course get to cuddle the little ‘doodles – one way to meet the neighbours ha ha…

As the ‘doods have gotten bigger we’ve had them loose in the garden – MADNESS !!!

(the vet said it would be fine in the shade)

Whilst cleaning their room we pop them into the puppy pen on the lawn…

They are not too happy about the pen – and tend to squawk the place down lol…

However once we open the little gate they charge out and chase each other and us around the lawn…

It’s just so cute – and total mayhem – we will video it this weekend I promise…

OK enjoy the photos I have to dash…

I have one video up as I write this – there will be two so please check back later…

And I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind messages and calls about Millie…

She’s gone through hell bless her heart…

She was an absolutely fantastic mom to those little guys when she was able…

I truly hope we have done her proud…

Loads of love KATE ~ MILLIE and the GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES XxX

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

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 !!!

I know most of you on the puppy list are coming this weekend to make your choices…

And trust me I know how hard it’s going to be they really are all absolutely fab little dogs…

I can’t wait to see you all and begin giving them proper names !!!

So far I know we have a Digby – Lulu and a Tilly – but which one will get the name..?

OK I’ll leave you with the latest set of puppy photos – enjoy and I’ll see you all soon…

And again thanks from the bottom of my heart for your messages and calls concerning Millie…

It’s a real lift to know you all care so much for her…

Lots of love Millie ~ Kate and the little ‘Doodles…

THE puppies are growing so very fast and so are their appetites…

Millie can no longer just operate a “splash and dash” feeding regime…

She’s still being amazing and feeding them all regularly…

And we are helping by bringing her three at a time on a mat in the lounge…

She and indeed they like this attention and all the pups get a good feed…

But they are hungry demanding puppies and they need to feed almost 50% of the time…

So it might be a little early in regards to the puppy rule book (lol)…

But we have gradually begun the first steps towards weaning…

Not I hasten to add with anything other than mom’s milk substitute – Lactol Gold…

I made the first batch and tried to feed using a small tiny baby bottle…

But they were having none of it lol…

Switching to a syringe ( no needle ha ha) has had the desired effect…



LAPPING INSTINCTS HAVE TRULY KICKED IN NOW

And the little Goldendoodle puppies are taking at least 5 ml a feed !!!

It’s doing them the power of good – giving Millie a rest – and I love it…

There’s something quite magical about hand feeding a little puppy…

Their lapping instincts have really kicked in now…

I fill the syringe to 5 ml and gently drizzle onto their tongues…

They fix on and begin lapping – “Pinky” was the first and she does it quite beautifully…

Once they are full each pup is given to Millie who gives them a long top and tail…

Before they flop back into the nest and sleep it off…

Millie is always close by keeping an eye on the activities – and also waiting to empty the jug !!!



“WHITEY” SUCKLES THE SYRINGE WHILST MILLIE FEEDS THE ‘DOODLES


As you can see form the first video – they are all in good voice…

Whitey and Orange puppy have become the most vocal…

In full flow Orange pup sounds like an exotic bird or monkey lol…

We have been asked a couple of times for individual photos of the pups…

I can honestly say we are working on it – but they never seem to stand still for a minute lol…

We have some – but I think it might be best to do a short movie of them wandering around…

I got the idea after the stunning Red Puppy went for an explore…

RED PUPPY THE LITTER LEADER EXPLORES HER SURROUNDINGS


So watch this space for a brief video montage of each of the pups…

I’m back at work on Monday (long day aaargh) so I’ll leave it to Millie’s Dad…

We had visitors here yesterday…

A mum and daughter who are on the puppy list visited to catch a glimpse of the babies…

As you would expect they absolutely loved playing with them…

They return along with the rest of the families next weekend to make final puppy choices…

They are going to have an almost impossible job – they are all GORGEOUS !!!



MILLIE THE PROUD MUM AND HER LITTER OF GOLDENDOODLE PUPS


This has been an absolutely amazing experience…

The hard work and lack of sleep is more than worth it…

It seems each minute the puppies develop and something new happens…

We are absolutely loving it…

Millie has truly made a fantastic mum…

We are both so very very proud of our little girl…

AN INTERVIEW WITH MILLIE !!!


Last night was the first they all slept through…

Luckily for me I was on “Doodle Duty !!!”

After a great night’s sleep Millie and I have a new spring in our steps…

She’s going to need it as the little ‘doods are very active today!!!

As always thanks for your kind emails – phone calls and messages – keep them coming !!!

Lots of love Kate ~ Millie and the Doodles XxX

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
