FROZEN CORN ON THE COB YUMMY!!!!


The dreaded chewing and teething puppy!!!

Millie is being fantastic and not chewing too many bits of furniture…

Apart from the brand spanking new kitchen bistro chairs that is haha…

We have had to resort to all kinds of wild whacky and wonderful teething toys…

From rope pull toys soaked in stock and then frozen – Millie gives that a 5 out of 10 haha…

Expensive teething toys just sit there ignored – she’d rather eat the wrapper!!!

Teething chews are sniffed and then pushed aside with a look of utter contempt on her face…

So it was with some relief we tried frozen veg…

Carrots (whole) were nibbled nicely then spat out…

The same with apples – pears were at first munched on then ignored – but it was corn on the cob that was the big hit…

Frozen whole and Millie absolutely guzzles them down…

The iciness soothes her gums (so red and sore) and the taste drives her nuts!!!

A highly recommended and healthy teething treat – and it makes the poo interesting



MILLIE IS GROWING SO FAST!!!



As she’s starting to grow so is her world…

Though saying that the house has been in turmoil as workmen trapse in and out of the place…

Meaning we have been relegated to the kitchen – which wont be fitted until after Christmas…

Millie has taken all this in her stride and quite likes the men stopping work to fuss her to pieces!!!

Our walks have become far more adventurous with long free runs over the beautiful Comyn…



NO WORRIES MUM I KNOW THE WAY FROM HERE!!!


Millie simply adore the Comyn…

So many smells so many places to roll in the mud…

And of course tons of other dogs of all ages and sizes to play with…

The rumour that all Goldendoodles love water seems a little odd with our Millie…

She has been known to walk around puddles – but is also quite happy to paddle like a lady…



THAT’S THE BIGGEST BATH I’VE EVER SEEN!!!




MAYBE I’LL GET A LITTLE BIT WET…IF THAT’S OK MUM


Judging from our last trip to the river she’s only a few days away from jumping in!!!

It really is a a joy to see after our big long walks…

What was once a little ginger tinged bundle of white fluff…

Resembles a proper muddy mucky pup!!!

The ritual of the warm towel down the two hour sleep and then warm bath is an absolute pleasure…

All in all and given all our little Goldendoodle has had to put up with in her short life…

She’s an absolute little dream of a dog…

We love her to absolute pieces…

She’s funny – sweet – clever and has such a fun loving character…

Anyone looking for the perfect family dog…

Could do no worse than a Goldendoodle…

But then we are a little biased!!!

Speak Up! I Have A Leaf For An Ear…

The vets are stumped and so are we…

It seems overnight Millie the Goldendoodle puppy…

Has grown a leaf for her left ear!!!

Only joking – but what a super photo that is – haha the pose leaves (ouch) a bit to desire…

She’s such a hussy – can’t imagine where she gets it from…

Okay onto the matter of Millie’s first week of walks…

She has been absolutely fantastic…

Sure there’s been the odd noise – particularly from buses…

And she’s jumped – shivered and tried to wrap herself around our legs…

We’ve resisted too much fuss and simply gently led her past any problems…

The first free run was absolutely amazing…

The training we have done with her on recall has been well worth it…

It’s a sheer delight to see this white bullet come tearing across the field at the call of her name…



I’ll Only Come Back If You Have Treats!!!



I Dunno Whether To Drink It Or Bath In It


She’s a little unsure of the water at this point…

I hasten to point out it barely comes to her knees!!!

She kind of sniffs at it splashes a bit then runs away!!!

As for puddles far from splashing into them – Millie tends to skirt around them…

The look of disdain on her face at other dogs paddling is funny…

I hope she loses this and becomes a bit more tomboyish – one lady in the house is enough haha…

However water does of course have dangers…

Especially crocs and that’s where little Millie comes into her own…

If there’s a croc about this little hunter will find it…

Drag it to her lair and munch on it happily for an age…



Crocodile Dundee..? Naw Croc Hunter Millie!!!



I’m Sorry For Whatever I’m Supposed to have Done…

She’s now three months old and growing so very fast…

It only seems like yesterday we brought this tiny scared bundle of fluff home…

She has her mad moments and of course the garden looks like a bombsite with doggy craters everywhere…

But we wouldn’t swap her for the world…

She’s bright as a button funny cheeky and very very loving…

Anyone looking for a puppy will do no better than a Goldendoodle…

Stay tuned – you just never know what Millie the Goldendoodle puppy will get up to next!!!

Oh my GOD!!!
She’s here and as you can see WOW!!!
What an absolute cutie pie…

A six hour round trip and worth every single yard!!!
She settled quite beautifully in the car…
As if she’d been driving all her life…

Then as we pulled up outside the house…
She vomited all over my son haha…
Memo to me new jeans for my boy haha…
Bless her though she was a complete angel…

A friend of mine had told me about how Guide Dogs are toilet trained…
So as soon as we got her inside it was “Busy Busy…”
Out into the garden and one long long wee and number two later…
Millie was praised to the hilt!!!

She has taken to this like a duck to water…
After sleeps – play – feeding and big drinks…
“Busy Busy” is the cry and out Millie trots!!!
Brilliant and perfect puppy house training in my book!!!

She quickly established her place for her shiny new bed…
Dragged the carefully folded bedding out…
Dragged it across the kitchen and into the conservatory…

The cuddly toy she had taken to was her next mission…
This delightul darling of a dog dragged it to her own made bed…
She nuzzled it chewed it then completely sparked out…
It had been one long adventure…
And one very tough day for one so little…
I have to say her snores were pure poetry…

As soon as she awoke it was “Busy Busy!!!”
Again she tumbled outside with glee and did the “business…”
Wow this really works!!!
She played and played and played until dinner time…
Had a couple of faceoffs with the cat…
But more or less ignored her…
Pretty sure those two are gonna be friends…

Her first dinnertime with us arrived…
And we were amazed at her manners!!!
Delicately taking each piece she would chew contentedly…
Swallow politely and lap gently at her water…
All that was missing was a napkin – such a lady…

Bedtime – for us anyway – came all too soon…
It was tough but we set up the stairgate…
Made her comfortable and stepped away…
Despite her tiring exciting day…
Boy did she get cross with us…

He barks yelps and crying almost broke our hearts…
But we stood firm and after a token ten minutes…
She dropped off to a peaceful and deep deep sleep…

Wow what a day what a delight and what a dog!!!

Stay tuned – this is can only get better!!!
