Time I’m afraid has been against me – I shall get onto it later today I promise…

And the new batch of coloured collars has arrived – so they’ll look all smart for their close ups !!!

The fantastic news is a few of the puppies have their eyes partly open !!!

It’s usually between 8 to 12 days – so they are well on course…

They are all gaining weight at an amazing rate…




SLEEPY DOODLE PUPPIES IN THE SUNSHINE




To give Millie a bit of a break last night – and after cleaning her nipples which are much better…

We brought her beloved bed into the lounge…

She was over the moon and rolled over in it like a frisky puppy…

We then brought two pups at a time to her…

Without the chaos of the nest she was able to give each special attention…

They all had a fantastic feed and very thorough top and tail…

Their squawks and squeaks were a delight as Millie washed them all over…

OK I have to dash and I promise I shall have the close ups tomorrow…

Don’t forget to keep in touch and I’ll leave you with the latest photos…

Lots of Love Kate Millie and the baby Doods…

PRESENTING DOODLE DOG PHOTOS – UPLOAD AND SHARE YOUR PUPPY AND DOG PHOTOS

The “DOODS” have not only found their collective voices…

But have also began to take those first real steps!!!

Given the World Cup is on constantly in our house…

At least the little doods squawks and squeaks drowns out that awful vuvuzela buzz lol…

As for taking their first real steps – it can be a tiring business…

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER SHARE A TRULY TENDER MOMENT

Purple was the first little Goldendoodle puppy to try to stand…

After all she was also the first to scream for her mum (boy she has a voice ha ha)…

And that has enabled her to get the “drop” on the others when it comes to feeding…

As you can see as soon as Millie arrives in the nest – they go berserk…

As the day wore on they all began standing – to varying degrees of success !!!

This morning they were all absolutely worn out with the exercise and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast with mom…




We have of course being weighed the little ‘doodles daily…

And once again I’m delighted to sat they are all thriving – and couldn’t be in better health…

Last week for instance when we changed their bedding we were using a tiny basket…

Yesterday my partner had to use a full sized laundry basket to fit them all in !!!

A BASKETFUL OF DOODLE PUPPIES !!!

Millie had another check up at the vet yesterday…

Being a former nurse I noticed her swollen nipple was looking a little sore…

The swelling had gone down considerably – but the skin around it was tender and red…

It was probably caused by tiny little doodle feet – the vet took a look and gave her the all clear…

However she has been given more antibiotics to keep it under control…

She shows no sign of discomfort and the pups have done her proud clearing it out !!!

OK a little later today we shall be taking individual portrait photographs of the Goldendoodle pups…

And we shall post them tomorrow so you can all get a clearer look at the little darlings…

Until then just to say Millie is now on Facebook and Twitter haha – checkout the links in the sidebar !!!

Her daddy is also working on – of all things – a Facebook application !!!

My partner got the idea after the photo of Millie the Goldendoodle in her England flag was tagged on Facebook…

Quite a few people are using that photo – some even as their profile photo…

MILLIE WEARING THE ENGLAND WORLD CUP FLAG ON FACEBOOK

The photo has appeared on the official English FA page and Carlsberg for England !!!

And best news of all the OFFICIAL FA BACK THE BID 2018 (the World Cup In England) want the original photo !!!

We’re all pleased but Millie’s dad is ecstatic – he says she really is the World Cup Goldendoodle haha…

He thinks we should get Millie and agent – good Lord what next !!!

OOOps and don’t forget Millie has her own You Tube Channel…

We have a ton of videos waiting to upload – so don’t forget to subscribe

OK that’s it for now – don’t hesitate to contact me via email – guest book or comments – I love to hear from you all…

Until tomorrow loads of love…

KATE – MILLIE and the little DOODS XxX

PRESENTING DOODLE DOG PHOTOS – UPLOAD AND SHARE YOUR PUPPY AND DOG PHOTOS

It all happened so quickly…

One minute she was feeding happily and the next she became quite poorly…

She had a high temperature and became very “spacey…”

She simply couldn’t lie down – but still allowed the puppies to feed by sitting upright…

A quick examination showed one of her teats was swollen and inflamed…

Luckily the pups had fed well – were sleeping soundly and we rushed Millie to the vets…

He was fantastic and agreed it was indeed mastitis…

He gave her two injections (both safe for the puppy milk) – antibiotic and a pain killer…

Within minutes Millie was much happier…

Infact she pulled us out of the surgery to the car – such was her haste to get home !!!




CHECKING MILLIE IS NOT IN TOO MUCH DISCOMFORT WHILST NURSING HER PUPPIES

On her return she immediately checked on the babies…

Before lying down gingerly and falling asleep for a good 3/4 of an hour…

It was the longest sleep she’s had since the puppies were born…

Once awake I checked her sore teat again and gently massaged it with olive oil…

In fact I gave all of her nipples a good gentle clean…

Millie seemed to really enjoy the close attention and lay happily on her back…

The swelling had gone down considerably and Millie was more than happy to return to her whelping box…

The puppies on the other hand seemed none to concerned at mums return !!!

They had all curled up together and were all snoring in a deep contended full belly sleep…

Millie was a little miffed and eventually began licking and nosing them to wake.,..

It was a great relief to us all that the puppies immediately “latched on” and fed happily…

The vet had recommended we allowed the pups to suckle the swollen teat…

This would both gauge Millie’s pain level – and of course help bring down the inflammation…

We rotated the aggressive and gentle feeders and was delighted to see Millie showed no discomfort…




“PINKY” ONE OF THE MORE GENTLE PUPPIES HELPING TO NURSE HER MUM

The great news is Millie stayed with the puppies all night…

And I can assure you all they have gorged themselves on her milk !!!

My partner stayed with them and says it was the most peaceful night they’ve had…

I managed to sleep a little longer despite my concerns…

As soon as I came down this morning I coaxed Millie on her back to check her nipples…

I am so relieved to say the swelling has almost completely gone !!!

I have weighed all the puppies and am delighted to say they have all gained weight considerably…

They are all feisty squeaky and none the worse for yesterdays dramas…

And as you can see all happy content and coming on amazingly well…




MUM AND DAUGHTER GOLDENDOODLES SNUGGLING AND SLEEPING TOGETHER

OK I shall leave you with the latest pictures of Goldendoodle Millie and her cute puppies…

Millie and me are off to the vets this morning for a quick check up…

I’ll let you know how it goes – but pretty sure everything is more than OK !!!

Put it this was I’m a lot happier taking her today than I was yesterday !!!

Lots of love Kate – Millie and the doods and doodettes XXX

Gin clear skies – hot sunshine – great people – tons of ‘doodle’s and plenty of shade !!!

And an absolutely beautiful camp site set in the stunning Kingsbury Water Park…

It was fantastic to put faces to so many names from Doodle Mania – the best ‘doodle owner forum on line…

Unlike the ‘Doodle Meet we attended last year this time we were just day visitors…

Millie is just two weeks away from giving birth to her litter of Goldendoodle puppies…

So we felt all the excitement might be too much for her…

However after her initial thrill at seeing all her mates and of course Biddy her best buddy…




BIDDY AND MILLIE BEST MATES SINCE PUPPIES


She soon settled and seemed to really enjoy herself…

Millie was so happy to see Biddy’s mum and dad Paddy and Lynn…

She jumped up and licked Lynn to pieces !!!

As for Paddy – Millie absolutely loves him to bits – as far as Millie is concerned he’s her second dad !!!



PADDY IN A TANGLE WITH SO MANY GOLDENDOODLES AROUND !!!


We all have to thank Julie for the lovely bandanna she made for ALL the ‘doodles !!!

Pink for the girls and blue for the boys !!!

Doodle Mania are tireless in their efforts to raise cash for dog/pet charities…

This event was predominantly to raise funds for the incredible Hounds For Heroes…

They train and provide assistance dogs to both members of the armed forces…

And civilian emergency services who have been injured serving their country…

It’s a registered charity and well worth your support…




PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY TO HOUNDS FOR HEROES

We totally endorse this amazing charity and suggest either a donation however big or small…

Or to buy a set of their superb and very trendy “dog tags”…

Millie has a set and loves them !!!

OK back to the ‘Doodle Meet…

Despite the heat Millie was happy to sit in the shade and enjoy all the attention…



GOLDENDOODLES ENJOYING THE SHADE !!!


And there was lots of it – and ice cream thanks to Julie and cold drinks thanks to Lynn !!!

Everybody it seemed wanted to rub Millie’s big fat tummy !!!

The puppies are now moving and it was a joy to see people’s – especially the children’s – smiles when they felt a tiny wriggle…

We were very pleased to meet a family who intend to have one of Millie’s Godlendoodle puppies…

Jane – Kevin and children had driven up from Surrey and immediately loved being fussed by so many different ‘Doodles !!!

Millie was absolutely charming and took to the children immediately…

Especially Felicity whom Millie absolutely idolized…



MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE AND FELICITY

They are indeed a lovely family and the lucky Goldendoodle puppy will have a fantastic life with them…

They live very close to Doodle Mania owners Rob and Caroline…

And have already researched the nearest ‘Doodle Meet and plan to get the new pup at the first one they can!!!

Doodle Mania is a fantastic forum for all ‘doodle types – and you’re sure to get superb advice and make amazing friends – so pop along !!!

Everyone had arrived by around 3pm and were ready for the ‘doodle walk…



LATE ARRIVALS AT THE ‘DOODLE MEET




‘DOODLES COOLING DOWN WITH ICE CREAM BEFORE THE BIG WALK




MILLIE LEADS THE WAY ON THE MIDLANDS DOODLE MEET BIG WALK


Millie was extremely anxious to get going…

And being the “princess” she is…

Just had to lead the way…

We had to chuckle at her wriggly bottom – walking just like a pregnant duck haha…

Kevin took her lead and Millie was very well behaved – so much so each of the children held the lead for a while…

Once near the water we let her and the others off the leads and splish splash Millie and Biddy were in !!!

Typically my camera went on the blink so sadly no more photos – suffice it to say a few people got splashed and very wet…

A pack of wet ‘doodles shaking off the water has that effect – a much needed cold shower you could say haha…

We decided to cut the walk short to give Millie a breather…

Of course we got lost going back (it’s a beautiful place peppered with lakes – canals and woodland paths)…

And unbelievably ended up walking further than all the others !!!



MILLIE’S “BOYFRIEND” RALPH


Millie managed admirably – but boy was she ready for a big cold drink !!!

We went home pleasantly tired and very very happy…

Millie however slept the sleep of the just – we could hear her contented snores through the night!!!

You can see all the photos from the May Midlands ‘Doodle Meet on Millie’s photo gallery – as well as many more photos…

And watch this space for two new Goldendoodle and Doodle photo sites – I’m very excited at launching them very soon…

So I’m off to assemble a whelping box so Millie can get used to it before she gives birth…

So until then once again thanks to everyone who organized the fantastic Midlands ‘Doodle Meet…

It was a fab day and sorry we couldn’t stay longer…

And thanks to you the readers of this blog for your kind words and wonderful message of support…

Myself and Millie truly appreciate it – so thank you and keep them coming !!!

These are truly exciting times with Millie due to have her litter of Goldendoodle puppies in two weeks time !!!

I’m a little nervous but pretty sure Millie will be a superb mum…

Until the next time…

Love Kate and big licks and wags from Millie XxX

We have received tons of enquiries for one of her puppies…

And I have spoken to everyone so far…

It’s been a pleasure to meet so many lovely kind real “dog people” lol…

And so far everyone has the most perfect loving home to offer…

So a big thank you from me and a loving lick from Millie…

Those of you who have now met her know she really does love to lick you haha…

She has always been a loving gentle cuddly dog…

She is what we call a “floopy little girl” haha…

As in soft – gentle – loving and very much in cuddles…

Being in pup has made it more so – and I have to say I love cuddling her…

That’s the beauty of the Goldendoodle breed…

They are mad as hatters and nuts to play with…

They love long walks – free runs and playing…



GOLDENDOODLES LOVE EXERCISE!!! (taken moments after mating Millie the Goldendoodle)

However they’re just as happy lying on their backs snoring…



MILLIE THE GOLDENDOODLE SNORING


A proper mix of boundless energy and couch potato haha…

Millie the Goldendoodle is now a little over three weeks away for giving birth to her litter…

To say I’m nervous and excited is an understatement…

We’ve decided on the dining room as the “nursery”…

It’s warm and quiet and plenty of space…

I have got a whelping kit – complete with stethoscope lol…

Plenty of newspapers – absorbent puppy pads and blankets…

Millie is in great health and everything looks good for the big day…

The vet would not tell us how many pups she was expecting…

But the list of people wanting one of Millie’s puppies is growing…

Part of me feels awful for those at the end of the queue…

But Mother Nature will decide how many Goldendoodle puppies Millie has…

And there’s not much more I can do about that haha…

Thanks again to all who have contacted me – it really has been a pleasure getting to know you…

And I truly hope you are one of the lucky ones…:)

Stay tuned for more updates as Millie the Goldendoodle gets closer to giving birth…

And as for Millie herself…

She’s in great spirits and even manages a token “play every now and then…”



SO MANY TOYS FOR A GOLDENDOODLE TO PLAY WITH BUT OH SO TIRING

But we mums know only too well just how tiring pregnancy can be lol…

We have began increasing her food a little…

However the little minx will not eat her kibble…

This is worrying as she needs the nutrients…

However my partner had a brainwave – not that he has many haha…

Millie absolutely adores tripe sticks – uggh the smell…

So he actually grated tripe stick shavings into her kibble!!!

She of course wolfed them down haha…

OK that’ll do for now – I’m off to give Millie a shower and blow dry…

Thanks for all your enquiries and again thanks to those of you who have come to visit…

And please keep the messages of support coming – I do so love to hear from you…

Love Kate and Millie XxX

Although snowmen scare the pants off her!!!

They say never work with kids or animals…

So typically the day I took the video camera…

Our Goldendoodle was brave as can be!!!

If only we could have captured her first sight of a snowman!!!

It truly was hilarious…

Millie is very excited at the moment…

Not I hasten to add that we’re off to Goa for two weeks very soon…

This Is My Rock Chick Look

No Pictures I’m Famous!!!

Seems like only yesterday this little bundle of fluff arrived…

She has been an absolute star through house moves – builders you name it…

And all that life can throw at a baby puppy Goldendoodle!!!

House training was a complete breeze…

There’s been no chewing – OK we had a little “mouthing” as a 3 month old pup…

She isn’t fussy over feeding – has excellent table manners!!!

And as she gets that little bit older maybe the “dog people blindness” might stop!!!

As in – “Oh dog / people ” Millie charges over to say Hi!!!

But truly she has been an absolute angel – a real pleasure and a real intregal part of our family…

She shall be celebrating her first birthday with what else but a swim in the local river!!!



Goldendoodle Puppy Millie Swimming In River

She just needs to learn how to get out gracefully!!!
