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!!!
