one year old goldendoodle wally

TAKEN IN THE KITCHEN THIS MORNING!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our larger than life Goldendoodle Wally !!! Goodness me it only seems a few weeks ago that we brought this shivering slightly over-sized puppy home!!!

He was a poor “little” thing…not happy with the 3 hour car journey and deeply mistrustful of Neil (my partner). In fact the first few weeks he was frightened of absolutely anything ~ I am proud to say that whilst I think he’ll always be a reserved dog (unlike Millie lol) ~ he’s definitely coming out of his shell…

He’s still a little anxious ~ OK he barks like a loon ~ when my son Max comes home, that’s probably due to the motor cycle helmet, but even though Max now takes it off Wally still goes nuts haha…however there’s a few men he accepts and likes which is great…

On the lead he is amazing and on a free run he is completely nuts living up to the name we gave him, as in “what a Wally!!!” His recall is fantastic and million times better than Millie who smells every single blade of grass before coming lol. Wally however dashes back and sits beautifully waiting for his lead. In the house he tries hard to “dominate” Millie (non violently lol) but out on the field she really does give him what for haha…It’s fantastic they are such good friends, but then as you all know Millie is friends with everyone!!!

Wally "Posing" (Love the Crossed Legs lol)

I was very proud of our boy after his first (3 hour lol) grooming session and the girls did a fantastic job, though I do miss our long haired shaggy dog I don’t miss the endless grooming lol. He’s a real boy and seems to find fox poop and muddy puddles to roll in every time he goes out ~ a cleaning and grooming nightmare!!!

I’m at work all day and he’s here with Neil, and I’m thrilled Wally now absolutely adores him, however his enthusiasm knows no bounds and I can’t count the number of scratches and strains Neil’s got from a seven stone ‘doodle pup launching at him to give him hugs loves and kisses!!!

I have been very firm with Wally since he began to grow, and I’m very proud he treats me as his pack leader. He rarely (if ever) jumps up me, but I’m told from 4pm each day he sits patiently by the window waiting for me. On my arrival, particularly after a long day, he is so overjoyed to see me it brings a tear to my eye…

OK I’m off to take the ‘doods on a special walk and free run over the woods with a good friend of mine and her lovely dogs…thanks for reading and visiting our blog…

Take care lots of love ~ hugs ~ wags and kisses… Kate ~ Millie and Wally

UPDATE: Goldendoodle Midlands Meeting Saturday 19th November Coventry ~ contact for details :)

MILLIE AND WALLY GREAT GOLDENDOODLE MATES


WALLY the Goldendoodle is growing at an alarming rate of knots!!!

As you can see at 16 weeks he’s almost as big as Millie…

The boy is going to be huge – just what we wanted…

And the fantastic news is Millie absolutely utterly adores him…

They really are great friends are hardly ever apart…

Unless of course her best mate Biddy the Labradoodle is about !!!

Wally has been a little timid and very nervous around people…

This is in complete contrast to Millie who loves people to pieces lol…

We had a funeral to attend last week and we left the dogs with Paddy ~ Lynn and Biddy…

Wally was a little nervous by it all – but we know the more new people the better…

So at last weekend’s Midlands ‘Doodle Meet – we were a little worried how the little chap would take it…


MURPHY AND LULU THE GOLDENDOODLES SWIMMING WITH MUM !!!

Two of Millie’s pups were there – the magnificent Murphy and lovely (but loopy) Lulu….

And they made a great fuss of us as we arrived which really was lovely…

As expected Wally despite his size and bravado in the house – was a little stunned by all the people and ‘doods…

MILLIE’S HALF SISTER MAISIE SAYS HELLO IN DOODLE STYLE TO WALLY


Being the baby of the bunch everyone wanted to say hello and fuss him to pieces…

But knowing how nervous of people he was everyone was given little treats to coax him to them…

Everyone was fantastic and very gentle and Wally quickly relaxed and strained at the lead to run free…


It was his first run with a pack and boy did he love it !!!

Of course Millie led the way with Biddy close on her heels…

It’s my favourite part of the any ‘doodle meet – letting them all free from their leads…

And at Coombe Abby the dogs have a super free run…

We let them loose in a lovely wood that leads to a huge open area – and boy do they charge up that hill…

THAT’S ME ON MY BOTTOM AFTER A PACK OF ‘DOODLES CRASHED INTO ME LOL

And yes I still have the bruise from my tumble lol…

From their we head through beautiful wooded pathways edged by ditches…

At this time of the year they are filthy filled with stinking gloopy mud…

And yes you guessed it the ‘doodles absolutely love it…

Within 10 minutes we had a pack of very muddy ‘doodles – except Wally he seemed bemused by it all !!!

A VERY MUDDY LULU (WHO ELSE COULD IT BE LOL)

Millie had a fantastic time – as did all the ‘doods – and both of our ‘doods came home absolutely worn out…

The meeting did Wally the power of good – he’d never seen so many dogs and people…

I’m pleased and proud of how he handled himself…

Whilst he’s still a little nervous around strangers he’s coming out of his shell…



I’ve taken him to two puppy classes now and progress is good…

He handled his first trip into the town centre very well and my initial concerns are now gone…

I just think he’s going to be an easy going laid back dood around people – so unlike Millie !!!

OK that’ll do for now but just to say Neil has a new site you might want to have a look at…

COMPARE THE DOODLES dot com lol…

It’s basically just a photo clicking time waster – upload your own photos and vote for your fave…

(it keeps him quiet haha)

Ok just to say Wally’s training is coming on very well…

Sit – Wait and Down are all commands he follows and follows well…

Millie has of course helped in this by showing him how to do things for treats !!!

One thing he has mastered and much better than Millie is the “High Five”…

So I’ll leave you with Wally showing how it’s done…

WALLY GIVES A GREAT HIGH FIVE !!!

Thanks for visiting and do visit DOODLE MANIA – it’s a fab forum for doodle lovers…

Love Kate ~ Millie and Wally XxX

WALLY THE F1B GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY

WALLY has grown so much in his first two weeks with us it’s untrue…

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

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!!!

MAX AND KATE

MAX (aka “Dave the Doodle”) leaves us tomorrow…

To say I’m sad is an understatement…

Not only is he the last of Millie the Goldendoodle’s litter of pups to leave us…

He’s also my boy – the little ‘dood that has won over my heart…

Of course I loved them all – but Max – Blue Collar – was always my little lad…

MAX HAS BECOME A REAL CUDDLY PUPPY


As soon as he hears my car pull up he rushes to the door…

It’s been wonderful to be greeted by the “doodle dance…”

Max prances and pirouettes and his tail goes a thousands miles an hour…

Then later in the evening he gives me the hound dog eyes – who could resist !!!

I scoop him up in my arms and we “snuggle” for an age…

Unless of course Millie wants to play with him – which is often ha ha…

MILLIE AND MAX WRESTLING AS USUAL


TIRED AFTER A LONG PLAY

Millie absolutely adores him and has really been fantastic with him…

She was a little down after Mazsola and Lulu left…

But with Max around she’s had plenty to keep her mind off things…

I have an awful feeling she’ll take his leaving very badly…

We shall of course be there for her what ever happens…

Though it does beg the question “should we get another doodle…”

All I can say to that is – Neil (Millie’s Dad) now has Sky Sports (bribe..? nah lol)…

And I have my eye on a gorgeous 4-month-old Goldendoodle puppy that needs a new home…

When we talked about it Neil shrugged and said “No worries…”

I’m really thinking on it lol…

Back to Max and he’s become a real little character…

So much so he got into a bit of a mess in the garden the other day…

The mud and 8 weeks living with piddly pooping puppies meant he was a little “smelly…”

BATH TIME!!!







To be honest there was little or no fuss…

After Millie’s first bath I was expecting the worst !!!

Millie of course helped and became extremely excited !!!

Apart from the odd whimper Max took it all in his stride – good lad !!!

Afterwards and once he’d been towel dried Neil said “his coat makes him look like a guinea pig…”

I had to laugh – his hair had dried “against the grain” and he did indeed look like a little guinea pig lol…

GUINEA PIG OR GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY !!!


We’re really going to miss this little chap…

He just loves company and is never too far away…

He was a little lost without his brothers and sisters…

And really does crave loves and cuddles…

His new mum text me last night to say they arrived back in the UK 8am today…

They are so excited and are simply bursting to get here to collect him…

I’m thrilled for them – but very sad as I shall miss him terribly…

I was going to add some pics of the rest of the litter…

But a sudden change in plans at work means I have a two hour drive to a meeting…

So I have to dash and promise to get more puppy news and photos up soon…

Until then loads of love and keep in touch – Kate ~ Millie and Max aka Dave the ‘Doodle XxX

THE ‘DOODLE PUPS LEARN TO SIT AND BEG LOL


THEN there were just three little Goldendoodle puppies…

And whilst I write this there’s only one – our little Max (or Dave as he’s known in these parts lol)…

Well I say “little” – he has a squawk as big as his feet !!!

It was his first night alone without the litter last night…

He howled for 2 hours – he was in such a state I had to come down to him…

He eventually fell asleep – but he really is missing his brothers and sisters…

Millie totally ignored the noise lol – well she is still shattered from the mini Midlands ‘doodle meet…



MILLIE TAKES A MUD BATH LOL


As you can see she had an absolute ball and loved seeing her best mates Biddy – and of course Paddy and Lynn…

OK onto the last of the little ‘doods…

They had a whale of a time their last week with us…

I think they enjoyed the more personal touch and loved the “sit and beg” game…

…aren’t they just clever little ‘doodles !!!



MILLIE JOINS IN THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY TRAINING CLASS

The last day with the three puppies didn’t start too well lol…

We were woken around 4am to a noise of real distress from all three…

Convinced someone had broken in and was trying to steal them we raced down the stairs…

Some how and no idea on God’s earth how – a black kitten had got into their room…

They had obviously woken and spotted it…

She was a beauty and sat bold as brass staring at them…

The three amigos were in a dreadful state lol…

It took us a long long time to calm them down…

Big tough guys I think not lol…

Our little Lulu (White) was the first to leave us yesterday…



LULU CUDDLES HER NEW BIG SISTER (we love the collar and tag!!!)

She has been a complete star this past few weeks…

Always helping with the cleaning up (lol)…

And always first to come for a cuddle or lick and fuss over any pups who were sad or distressed…

I just know her new family absolutely adore her and she’s going to have a fantastic life…

Word reaches us that she already adores their Labrador Stanley and he her – that is really sweet…

We were both a little sad to see her go – but Millie’s Dad in particular was very quiet…

Maz and Lulu have both been his little “angels” (sometimes the “sisters of sin” lol) since they were born…



MAZSOLA OFF TO PASTURES NEW – AND SOON TO BE BI LINGUAL !!!

Mazsola’s family arrived late afternoon and mum and dad were very excited…

Little Lilac seemed delighted to meet them again and even allowed a lot of tummy tickles from her new dad…

Now THAT is a rare honour…

They were always hoping for a mischievous puppy…

And with little Maz they have got that in bucketfuls ha ha…

If Millie’s Dad was quiet when Lulu left – I swear I saw a tear in his eye when his little Mazola left…

I have to admit this past week the two girls have gotten to me too…

Both absolute stunners and everything you would want in a dog…

Smart – pretty – loving – naughty – feisty – they have it in bag fulls…

OK that leaves us with our old mate Max (Blue/Dave)…




DAVE THE ‘DOODLE – HE LIKES BUCKETS AND DRAINS LOL

He kind of eyed us all suspiciously when we opened the puppy gate giving him the run of the downstairs…

He spent a long time sniffing around and playing with his mum…

But it is at my feet he wants to be – and still whimpers when I leave the room…

He’s the strong sensitive type I reckon lol…

As I mentioned earlier we put him back in the puppy room at bedtime…

But he was having none of it…

We have some work to do there I feel lol…

Max leaves us on Friday (his family are on honeymoon in the US)…

I shall be extremely sorry to see him go – we have a real natural bond going on…

Until then whilst I’m at work Millie’s Dad will have the hound dog howls ha ha…



GORGEOUS GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY MAX

WHERE ARE THEY NOW..?


We have received lots of calls emails texts and photos of the little ‘doodle pups…

I can’t tell you how happy it makes us to see they’re all settled in and happy…

I guess every time I pop a blog post up I’ll slap a few photos/movies on too…

Please keep them all coming we love to see and hear all about our brood lol…

And just a quick note for those using GOLDENDOODLES PHOTOS

Please check the little message at the end of this post lol…

OK here’s an amazing video showing Cookie’s (Purple) first few days at her new home…

It brought a tear to my eye I have to say – and thank you so much for sending it us !!!








It’s obviously very tiring playing with Cookie the Goldendoodle puppy – don’t they look absolutely adorable !!!



LILLY IN HER I MUST NOT CHASE BOYS T-SHIRT LOL!!!


Lilly is absolutely loving her life in Wales…

And with that very apt t-shirt looks like she’s headed for the dog cat walk lol…










MURPHY THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY HAS BECOME MUM’S LITTLE HELPER LOL


Please keep them coming and I’ll pop more up next post…

OK Millie’s Dad says those of you using GOLDENDOODLES PHOTOS might want to download something…

Photos off digital cameras are HUGE !!!

So before uploading them to the site – firstly download – EASY THUMBNAILS – it’s completely free…

Under the settings go for 600 wide 800 high…

Under New Name add prefix tn_

Then choose the photo from the window and click make (if you are doing lots click make all)…

You’ll now get resized photos with the prefix tn_ (thumbnail)…

So big JPG.1 would now be tn_JPG.1 – it’s smaller and fits nicely into forums !!!

OK enough techno speak I’m off for a girly morning shopping and coffee with Millie lol…

It was always our Saturday ritual and she loves the butcher’s shop !!!

So until the next time much love KATE MILLIE AND MAX XxX
