There’s No Business Like Snow Business




The Sky’s Falling!!!

The first snows of the winter…

And little Millie the Goldendoodle loved it!!!

With just a little bit of hesitation I have to say…

But pretty soon she was jumping up trying to catch every single snowflake!!!

And she actually got a little upset when we called her in…

Not a lot of snow for some of you…

But here in England it was a real novelty…



It’s So Cold Even My Eyes Are Blue!!!




Do I HAVE To Come In???!!!


Millie has grown so much the fight play has become a little bit of an issue…

And we’ve certainly had to calm her down a little as she can get quite mouthy – as in biting…

The vet and searches online have shown us the way to act with this biting…

It seems to work except just before her bedtime…

When like a grumpy toddler she gets over excited and extremely boistrous…

We fold our arms as instructed and completely ignore her…

Sometimes it works – but mostly she jumps and bites harder…

It’s obviously play and fun to her – but those teeth are like needles!!!

Persistent and consistent is the order of the day…

BIG NEWS!!!

Millie had her first walk a couple of days ago!!!

I’ll pop some photos up later…

But I have to say the lead training prior to the big day paid off…

She was very well behaved…

However she is absolutely terrified of cars – puschairs and cycles!!!

We are taking it slowly and not fussing her too much when a car goes by…

After all it’s a big scary world out there…

5 minutes into the first walk she came face to face with two of the biggest Golden Retrievers!!!

She immediately sought refuge in my arms but was quickly introduced to them…

They were a young dopey crazy pair of boys…

Who sniffed headbutted and generally roughed her up a bit…

Far from her initial reaction Millie soon began jumping on them and yapping!!!

She’s made her first mates and now reacts with glee at the sight of her bright red lead…

We just got back from our morning stroll…

She met her mates but is still petrified of cars…

I hope this doesn’t last much longer as tough love is something I’m not so good at!!!

Well what a week that was…

What an absolutely fantastic week with little Millie…

We’ve never known such a bright as a button puppy in our life…

Goldendoodles sure are smart little guys…

The house training is a complete breeze…

One accident and that was our fault (long story!)…

The cry of “busy! busy!” is all our little lady needs…

She rushes to the door – finds her favourite spot and bingo!

The week has passed so very quickly and she’s such a part of our lives…

We kind of wonder what we ever did before Millie the Goldendoodle arrived…

The safe backgarden is her haunt…

And with the recent lovely late Autumnal weather – she’s in her element…

We read somewhere that Goldendoodles adore digging…

My goodness this little lady can dig for Britain! Australia here we come haha!

We think when we move to the new house a sandpit of some sort is in order…

We would like to save a bit of the garden for us mere humans…

MILLIE DIGS THE GARDEN LITERALLY!!!

She has also had her first ever trip to the vet…

We were a little concerned as new parents always are around these things…

This little bombproof madam took it all in her tiny stride…

Prodded and poked – weighed and measured…

Nothing seemed to phase her – not even the jab or chip being shot in!!!

If anything she was more interested in the treats the vet had for her…

Looks like we might have to change her food pretty soon!

As we left and made to drive away I spotted a full grown Goldendoodle!

Talk about coincidence!

The owner was delighted to meet us and the big boy in question stuck his head through the car window…

Millie wriggled wagged and yapped!!!

Not long until she’s that big…

But for now she’s our darling baby girl…

She’s funny cute feisty and clever as hell…

As the vet said – “I think you’re going to have to find things for this girl to do…

…she’s very very smart…”

Anyone looking for the perfect dog could do no worse than a Goldendoodle!!!

One Week and counting ’till we get our Millie…

One look at the recent pic tells us how much she’s grown…

I can tell you now neither of us can wait…

We’re like kids a week before Christmas…

Never thought we’d feel this excited about anything again…

She’s going to make our life together complete…

MILLIE’S LITTLE BROTHER

He’s still looking for a home…

He’s an absolute cracker…
