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
