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
