MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE MUSES ON PREGNANCY

JUST a quick up date on Millie the Goldendoodle and her due whelping date…

The past few days have been hard for her to say the least…

She’s never really liked warm weather…

But this week has seen temperatures soaring and with it Millie’s mood dropping…

The good news is she’s finished her antibiotics and her cough has completely cleared up…

But her belly is now the size and shape of a beach ball lol…

A beach ball full of little Goldendoodle puppies squirming wriggling and kicking…

And boy do those boys and girls kick!!!

My partner says if there’s eleven puppies they’ll be named (temporarily of course) as the England World Cup squad !!!

She’s finding it very difficult to get comfortable and to settle…

We moved the laptop outside on Friday and placed a huge umbrella for Millie to sleep under…

It was in the shade of a huge bush she used to play in as a puppy (more on that later lol)…

She seemed pretty pleased and let out a huge sigh and literally collapsed…

However little be known to us a family of blackbirds had built a nest in the very same bush…

And you guessed it that very moment the chicks hatched…

Mom and dad blackbird began their feeding ritual and each time they crashed into the bush Millie jumped with fright!!!

I truly thought the shock would bring on her “labour” – but luckily it didn’t…

I just hope the blackbirds survive – we have enough on our hands with a litter of Goldendoodle puppies…

Without hand rearing baby birds !!!!



OK back to Millie and her bushes…

We have a feeling another bush by the shed is her chosen whelping spot…

She has been desperately trying to get behind it all week…

It might be the shade she’s craving – silly girl wont go indoors – but I’m not so sure…

Might be a good idea to block it off !!!

I spoke to Sam from Gun Dogs UK this week – she’s the breeder we got Millie from…

She’s been fantastic support through this and has become a good friend…

However I wasn’t too happy when she told me about Millie’s mom and whelping…

“She’s always exactly 5 days late…” she said cheerfully….

I nearly died – I’ve booked the whole week off work ha ha !!!

Ah well whatever will be will be – and my boss is pretty flexible over the next couple of weeks…

So fingers crossed Millie will be giving birth this Tuesday…

If not it’ll be next weekend…

I’m sure not something Millie would want lol…

OK thanks again for all you comments and messages – it really means a lot to us all…

Until next time love from me Millie’s mom Kate and wags and licks from Millie XxX

THREE WEEKS TO GO UNTIL MILLIE GIVES BIRTH TO GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES!!!


Just a quick update on Millie the Goldendoodle’s pregnancy…

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

TIME FOR A TRIP TO THE HAIRDRESSERS!!!

Exciting news!!!

We’ve decided to breed our Goldendoodle Millie!!!

After a lot of thought and research we thought now is a good time as any…

It’ll mean she’ll be giving birth around June…

With her pups ready to go to new homes in early August!!!

And it really has been an interesting time…

We have had to have our Goldendoodle hip and eye scored…

That in itself was a real cause for concern – as we didn’t want to put her through any discomfort…

We shouldn’t have worried – she was an absolute star!!!

She melted the hearts of the vets during her eye check which she passed with flying colours…

And despite the need for general anaesthetic for the hip score…

She was none the worse for wear and showed no discomfort whatsoever…

So much so that a matter of days later she was boogying with the other ‘doodles at the Midlands meet…



WALKIES AT THE DOODLE MEET UP AT NEWBOLD COMYN




MUDDY FUN WITH THE ‘DOODLES AND THE DUDES (AND DUDETTES!!!)




MASIE MILLIE’S HALF SISTER




PIPPA ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE GOLDENDOODLE MEET!!!

MILLIE AND BIDDY BEING ANTI SOCIAL AS USUAL!!!





MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE COOLS OFF IN THE RIVER


As you can see a great time was had by all…

Millie’s great friend Biddy was there with Paddy and Lynn…

It was great to meet Kin and her lab Rosie and gorgeous ‘doodle Poppa…

And it was absolutely wonderful to meet Millie’s half sister Masie…

She brought along her dad her mum Jackie and delicious cakes made by Verity!!!

Masie and Millie share the same mom but different dad’s…

Despite her age she did her best to keep up with the older dogs…

By all accounts she slept like a log when she got home haha…

One of the funniest moments came when we all turned a corner to see a man with his ‘doodle!!!

He was certainly surprised to see us all but happily joined in on the walk…

I think that will be our last meet up for a while…

If Millie’s expecting puppies we can’t have her charging around like a loon!!!

And so this Easter weekend we’re piling into the car…

And taking Millie home to see her mom at Gun Dogs UK…

And of course to meet her stud dog Cracker…



ISAAC THE BABE – aka CRACKER

Now isn’t he a handsome boy…

We’ve been told his bitches can have up to 12 puppies…

I can’t wait for the chaos to begin haha…

So there you have it…

Our once little Goldendoodle puppy bundle of fluff…

Is going to be a mom!!!

We can hardly believe how quickly time has flown…

And how wonderfully Millie the Goldendoodle has grown…

But of course before any girl meets her mate…

She needs a trip to the beauty parlour…

And last weekend Millie had her very own spa day…



BEFORE MILLIE’S SPA DAY



AFTER MILLIE’S SPA DAY

We thought she looked amazing…

The groomer told us she took heaps off her coat…

And this time – thankfully – she didn’t get the bowl fringe haha…

Millie however wasn’t at all impressed…



BUT I LIKED MY HAIR OVER MY EYES!!!


Thanks to everyone who has emailed us and commented on the blog…

And of course we shall keep you up to date on her Goldendoodle puppies!!!

OK must dash we have heaps to organise…

Happy Easter and thanks again…

Kate and Millie
