The little Goldendoodle pups have really outgrown the whelping box…

As you can see the puppy power revolution continues…

We called this the charge of the ‘doodle brigade lol…



BEST VIEWED WHILST HUMMING THE THEME FROM THE GREAT ESCAPE

They really did make a bid for freedom – throughout most of the night too…

And whenever Millie’s Dad blocked it off – Millie would cry as she couldn’t get to them…

Letting her stay in the box caused her to overheat so it was a no win situation…

We’re all bleary eyed this morning to say the least lol…

I was downstairs at 3.30am letting her out…

We know the move to the dining room will offer them all more freedom…

However I’m pretty sure the puppy pen is designed for baby giraffes ha ha…

My metric conversion might have been a little out lol…



IF ANYONE NEEDS A BABY GIRAFFE PEN DO LET ME KNOW


Ah well it will fit a purpose – and I have a friend who’s a carpenter popping round…

We’d like him to build some kind of safe enclosure in the dining room…

OK what else is happening in the ‘doodle tribe world..?

Like most of England my partner was watching the crucial England World Cup game…

He had absolutely made sure the little pups were full to the brim of mom’s milk…

Millie had been fed and all were sleeping soundly in time for kick off…

“I reckon they’ll sleep for most of the game…” he’d said confidently…

How sweet and how naive’ men can be ha ha…

You guessed it – just before the referee blew his whistle to kick off – the pups er kicked off !!!

You have to laugh – sorry but you do lol…



Luckily he was able to pause the game – supervise the feeding frenzy – settle Millie and open a cold one…

The good news of course is England won – the bad – Germany…

Add that to a tribe of baby ‘doodles and my man will be a nervous wreck come Sunday!!!

We had a visit from a lovely family yesterday evening…

This was the one chance they could get to see the pups…

Such is the list they are waiting for the last little girl…

Tamas – the dad – spotted his favourite and really hopes she’s the one left !!!

He will just have to keep his fingers crossed as she is indeed a cutie pie…



NOT RABIES JUST WORMING MEDICINE LOL !!!!


I gave the pups their last splurge of worming medicine today…

Most of them took it quite calmly…

Little Orange Pup (as in collar lol) – wasn’t so keen…

I couldn’t grab the camera – but I swear she said “YUK!!!”

OK I shall love and leave you – a zillion things to do…

And I can hear Purple Pup plotting a tunnel dig ha ha…

Lots of love – Kate ~ Millie and the little baby ‘Doodles XxX

But I can’t tell you how much I missed my Millie and her baby ‘doodles…

And yes they have indeed become real little dogs !!!

Their little yaps growls and cute barks are wonderful – if a little noisy !!!

HOW MY LITTLE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES HAVE GROWN

The puppy whelping box they’re in is now getting a little small – despite it being XXL…

So yesterday we ordered a proper puppy pen – it will give them much more space…

And we shall be able to take it onto the lawn when they get a little older…

I’d made my mind up that on my return I’d give Millie the Goldendoodle a real good groom…

And that’s exactly what I did – with the help of her dad as she was having none of it lol…

But trust me two weeks after giving birth she really did need it…

She was reluctant to get into the shower at first – but once in she really enjoyed it…

It was a gorgeous sunny warm day – so I was able to dry her off outside…

(the puppies had just been fed and were sleeping it off)

MILLIE HAS ALWAYS LOVED BEING TOWEL DRIED


Once she was partly dry I brought her into the lounge and began hunting for knots…

I can assure you there were very many of them…

And it took the razor comb – anti tangle spray and baby scissors to get 99.9% of them out…

SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MILLIE’S UNDERCARRIAGE

I basically give her a towel dry then brush hard against the coat…

As and when I find tangles I try to comb them out – if that doesn’t work I use the razor comb…

And – as happened on this occasion – if that doesn’t work I use baby scissors lol…

Once she’s relatively tangle free I get out the hair dryer…

MILLIE NOW ADORES THE HAIR DRYER AND FINDS IT RELAXING


It has taken a long time getting Millie to trust this…

But now she adores it and will stand or in this case lie quite happily…

Millie really enjoyed the close attention – but every now and then she would break away to check her pups…

At one point she gave them a quick splash and dash as my partner calls it – that’s a quick feed ha ha…

They then slept soundly warm from the sunshine pouring in through the window…

The whole grooming session took me about three hours – which is much longer than normal…

But honestly Millie really did need such attention- she was a state lol…

And of course there was the frequent puppy breaks…

When I finished I have to say she looked amazing…



MILLIE LOOKING GORGEOUS AFTER A LONG GROOMING SESSION


I used a mild puppy shampoo with no scent as I didn’t want the pups confused…

I was curious to see how they’d react when mom went back into the box…

They woke bleary eyed and stretched and yawned and began sniffing around…

There was a slight pause as their little noses got accustomed to the clean fresh Millie…

And then the cacophony began – wow these little ‘doodles can make a racket !!!

And as you can see from the video below – they suckled quite beautifully…



OK it’s back to work with a bump for me today…

The ‘doodles safe under the care of Millie’s dad – who works from home lucky beggar lol…

But trust me I shall be popping back (and so will my secretary ha ha) at every opportunity…

Until tomorrow loads of love Kate ~ Millie and the ‘Doodles XxX

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

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…

GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY OR MEERKAT HA HA


JUDGING from the number of emails I received yesterday…

I’ve managed to turn you all into ‘doodle puppy photo addicts !!!

Trust me I really do know that feeling – I need my daily fix too !!!

KATE ~ MILLIE AND THE GORGEOUS GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES

My apologies for not making a daily post…

It was frantic here yesterday – the puppies and Millie are more than fine – more to do with me…

I have a big family wedding in Scotland over the weekend…Congrats Leanne !!!

And a girl needs to look her best – so it was hairdresser and beauty salon for me !!!

Boy did I need it after 12 days of the puppy ‘doodle invasion haha…

I tried to coax Millie into the shower – but she was having none of it…

After giving birth and caring for 9 ‘doodles she really does need it…if you catch my drift lol…

But she refused and I didn’t want to stress her…

Millie’s dad is staying behind to look after them so in between football they’ll be well looked after lol…




“WHITEY” SUCKLES ON MILLIE’S DADS BOTTOM LIP HA HA!!!


With Millie spending more time out of the doodle pup “nest”…

I decided to buy a pile of cuddly toys to give them other things to snuggle up to…

I was thrilled to see them wake and start sniffing and investigating the new members of their nest !!!

They have taken to them immediately – especially Millie’s cuddly fish which they all love to cuddle up too…

GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES AND SOFT CUDDLY TOYS


Millie however had other ideas…

Once she woke from her afternoon nap she climbed into the whelping box…

It was a classic double take as she saw her litter had “doubled”…

The look on her face was one of confusion and then joy as she saw they were toys…

Millie has always been a great organiser of her toys – each one has a special place in the house…

(we have found her toys in all sorts of strange places – we move them she puts them back)

So once she had fed her pups – each toy was taken out of the box and deposited in her special places…

We need her to play with them so the pups get her scent…

I’m pleased to say she has now let the toys stay and the puppies love them…



“PATCH” CUDDLES UP TO THE CUDDLY TOYS

Each pup will of course be taking one with them when they leave…

Which gave me an idea lol…

When Millie arrived with us at just 8 weeks old she too brought a toy with her…

It was full of the smell of Bess her lovely Golden Retriever mum…

To this day it’s Millie’s special toy and is always near by…

So here’s three photos of Millie – the first when she was born…

The second when she arrived in our home with her special cuddly toy…

And Millie now with that same toy – oh boy has she grown !!!

MILLIE WHEN SHE WAS A NEWBORN PUPPY
