CARDBOARD BOXES EQUALS HOURS OF FUN FOR GOLDENDOODLE PUPS!!!

FIRSTLY my apologies for a complete lack of blog posts…

What with nursing Millie the Goldendoodle…

And raising 9 practically orphaned little Goldendoodle puppies…

Things have been you might say a little “busy” lol…

And more than a little chaotic – with a semblance of order – mostly ha ha…

Millie was due at the vets for her operation on Tuesday morning…

Sadly she still had too much milk and this was postponed until Thursday…

This of course means even longer away from her babies…

However she sailed through the operation…

The vet had to make the hole larger in order to join together the wound…

She came home groggy but waggy tailed late evening…

The veterinary nurses really didn’t want her to leave – they adore her lol…

She’s a little woozy now – still on strong painkillers – tablets to dry her milk up and antibiotics…

It will be some time yet before she is well enough to see her puppies…

She still cries when she hears them and is pretty depressed if truth be told…

Time is a great healer and we’re all sad she’s missed so much and been in so much pain and discomfort…

But she really is a great dog – a bloody superstar and we love her dearly…

OK to the little Goldendoodle Puppy tribe – the ‘Doodle puppies are doing extremely well…


We are talking an amazing growth spurt in the last week…

They are now more adventurous – sleep less during the day and play with a lot more energy (lol)…

(those teeth are sharp be warned !!!)

They are absolutely eating us out of house and home at the moment lol…

I seem to be at PETS AT HOME daily…

Pity they didn’t have a loyalty card – I’d be quids in ha ha…

Millie’s Dad says they must be crossed with Donkeys judging by the size of their poo’s lol…

They seem to play fight constantly and the pecking order changes by the minute !!!

Of them all tiny little Pinky – now Tillly – is by far the roughest lol…

She has to be I guess being so tiny compared to the others…

Lulu (White) and little Lilly (Yellow) are not far behind…

Meanwhile the big lads Max and Murphy (Blue and Aqua) are facing “Girl Power” lol…

Our old fave Digby (Orange) has over gone a complete sea change…

We haven’t heard him squawk for an age – but man does he like the girls !!!

He always seems to be snuggling up to Cookie (Purple) and Molly (Red)…

Those two girls are growing into beautiful looking ‘Doodles – Molly is now a little fusspot !!!

Boy does she come running for the cuddles !!!

Mazsola (Lilac) is the most daring – she is fearless !!!


Whatever happens or is introduced into the puppy pad – she’s in first…

She races around the room yapping and crashing into things…

Mostly other ‘Doodles lol…

They really are a fantastic litter of puppies…

And they really have decided we are mom and dad doodle lol…

It’s amazing to see them come running like a little herd of geese circling us until the food is put down…

And I’m very pleased at how sensible they are at meal times…

There’s hardly any squabbling – the odd little accident – but they have very good manners for almost 5 week old pups…


They are still on four meals of puppy kibble (Science Plan) per day – and a few Lactol (milk substitute) breaks…

That still remains the highlight of their day !!!

Feeding times are around midnight (milk) 4am (kibble) 8am (kibble) 11am (milk)…

3pm (kibble) 8pm (milky kibble) with water in between…

Those are approximate times and it does vary lol…

We are in and out of their room regularly clearing up great piles and puddles lol…

So as you can see it’s pretty much round the clock stuff lol…

Hard but about as rewarding as it can get !!!

Our neighbours have been fantastic and the whole street brings us newspapers…

And of course get to cuddle the little ‘doodles – one way to meet the neighbours ha ha…

As the ‘doods have gotten bigger we’ve had them loose in the garden – MADNESS !!!

(the vet said it would be fine in the shade)

Whilst cleaning their room we pop them into the puppy pen on the lawn…

They are not too happy about the pen – and tend to squawk the place down lol…

However once we open the little gate they charge out and chase each other and us around the lawn…

It’s just so cute – and total mayhem – we will video it this weekend I promise…

OK enjoy the photos I have to dash…

I have one video up as I write this – there will be two so please check back later…

And I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind messages and calls about Millie…

She’s gone through hell bless her heart…

She was an absolutely fantastic mom to those little guys when she was able…

I truly hope we have done her proud…

Loads of love KATE ~ MILLIE and the GOLDENDOODLE PUPPIES XxX

BOY are we glad the new puppy pen arrived yesterday !!!

The little Goldendoodle pups have really outgrown the whelping box…

As you can see the puppy power revolution continues…

We called this the charge of the ‘doodle brigade lol…



BEST VIEWED WHILST HUMMING THE THEME FROM THE GREAT ESCAPE

They really did make a bid for freedom – throughout most of the night too…

And whenever Millie’s Dad blocked it off – Millie would cry as she couldn’t get to them…

Letting her stay in the box caused her to overheat so it was a no win situation…

We’re all bleary eyed this morning to say the least lol…

I was downstairs at 3.30am letting her out…

We know the move to the dining room will offer them all more freedom…

However I’m pretty sure the puppy pen is designed for baby giraffes ha ha…

My metric conversion might have been a little out lol…



IF ANYONE NEEDS A BABY GIRAFFE PEN DO LET ME KNOW :)


Ah well it will fit a purpose – and I have a friend who’s a carpenter popping round…

We’d like him to build some kind of safe enclosure in the dining room…

OK what else is happening in the ‘doodle tribe world..?

Like most of England my partner was watching the crucial England World Cup game…

He had absolutely made sure the little pups were full to the brim of mom’s milk…

Millie had been fed and all were sleeping soundly in time for kick off…

“I reckon they’ll sleep for most of the game…” he’d said confidently…

How sweet and how naive’ men can be ha ha…

You guessed it – just before the referee blew his whistle to kick off – the pups er kicked off !!!

You have to laugh – sorry but you do lol…



Luckily he was able to pause the game – supervise the feeding frenzy – settle Millie and open a cold one…

The good news of course is England won – the bad – Germany…

Add that to a tribe of baby ‘doodles and my man will be a nervous wreck come Sunday!!!

We had a visit from a lovely family yesterday evening…

This was the one chance they could get to see the pups…

Such is the list they are waiting for the last little girl…

Tamas – the dad – spotted his favourite and really hopes she’s the one left !!!

He will just have to keep his fingers crossed as she is indeed a cutie pie…



NOT RABIES JUST WORMING MEDICINE LOL !!!!


I gave the pups their last splurge of worming medicine today…

Most of them took it quite calmly…

Little Orange Pup (as in collar lol) – wasn’t so keen…

I couldn’t grab the camera – but I swear she said “YUK!!!”

OK I shall love and leave you – a zillion things to do…

And I can hear Purple Pup plotting a tunnel dig ha ha…

Lots of love – Kate ~ Millie and the little baby ‘Doodles XxX
