THE ‘DOODLE PUPS SLEEP OFF THE LONG WEEKEND
WOW !!!
What a hectic but wonderful weekend that was !!!
It was “choose your puppy time” – and how difficult you all found it…
However thanks to the blog most of you had your minds made up all ready…
We had a good idea which pups would go to which family…
Maybe there was a couple of surprises – but I hope you are all more than happy !!!
And looking forward to wonderful years ahead with your very own Goldendoodle…
As I’ve said so often – they are incredible dogs…
Funny – smart and faithful as the day is long…
And boy do they stand out in a crowd !!!
Be prepared to be stopped everywhere and asked “he/she’s gorgeous – what is he/she..? ”
When Millie and me go out I set aside an extra half an hour for people lol…
OK before I name the names – I’ll give you a quick update on Millie…
We have had to keep her away from her babies (heartbreaking) due to her open wound…
The vet was able to snip a piece off and the wound is now clean and pink…
We have had to bathe it three or four times per day – Millie has been amazing…
She’s still on the antibiotics and returns to the vet on Tuesday for corrective surgery…
I really don’t know how much more of this our little girl can take…
But like the vet has said – she’s an A1 dog and will surely shine through it all…
Lets hope so…
ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY – MILLIE THE FIRST ‘DOODLE IN SPACE ??!!!??
So to this weekend and what a wonderful weekend it was…
The first families really wanted to be here at the crack of dawn on Saturday…
However we had pressing issues with Millie – so 11am was better lol…
First little girl family arrived and faced a dilemma – was it to be Red or Purple…
However it was little Yellow and Pink who pranced and danced wriggled and woo’ed them lol…
But despite their antics their hearts were drawn towards Red and Purple…
After much debate and heart searching it was indeed Red or should I say MOLLY who was chosen…
I couldn’t have chosen between those two beauties !!!
It was one happy couple who left us thinking all things ‘Doodle…
The next family arrived during first choice and sat outside catching glimpses of their boy through the window…
They had indeed made their minds up totally and had even brought an Aqua coloured lead and collar lol…
It was fantastic to see them meet MURPHY…
“He’s the laid back fat lad I expected…” said mum…
Well yes – he ahem was lol…
This last 24 hours has seen a slight change in our laid back lad…
He’s becoming very assertive and more than a little inquisitive lol…
MURPHY THE PHANTOM BAG SNATCHER
He’s going to be an absolute cracker…
A big gentle cuddly bear of a dog with more than an ounce of cheek !!!
The family who had reserved the second boy couldn’t make it…
But a phone call was greeted with joy as they proudly named Blue pup MAX !!!
That’s my son’s name too lol – and they have the same tinge of hair colour ha ha…
He too is a big boy and in the middle of all the mischief…
That meant the last boy was yeah you guessed it Orange…
I may have given the little chap a bad press (definitely lol) but he is quite bonkers lol…
However he too has changed a little over the past few days…
Sure he’s a noisy ‘dood at the very heart of all the anarchy and mischief…
But boy does he love a real cuddle and tummy tickle lol – big soppy ‘dood really…
I know the dad of the family wanted a big dog – and you got it – just look at his feet !!!
He is going to be one beautiful big Goldendoodle who’s going to the perfect family…
And the bonkers boy’s name..?
What else for the biggest personality of the bunch than DIGBY…
Cool – cute and very very apt…
Anyone remember the film..?
DIGBY THE ‘DOODLE – A QUIET MOMENT (LOL)
That brought Saturday to a close – and our pups were quite exhausted…
Sunday was an all girls day with the first family finding it really hard to choose…
For a long time it looked like Lilac was the choice…
But after heart searching Purple was proudly named COOKIE…
A sweet name for a very sweet little girl…
She really is a stunner and a delightful mix of feisty and cuddly…
COOKIE SOON TO BE THE LADY OF THE MANOR LOL
She really is going to live in the lap of luxury with a wonderful family…
Heated swimming pool anyone lol…
If ever you want a dog sitter we are available ha ha…
And thank you so much for the Orchid and wine…
I shall save the wine for a “quiet night” if we ever get one again lol…
If family number one found the choice hard family number two really did struggle (who can blame them)…
Again Lilac was the first choice with mum and daughter absolutely adoring her…
However little White was always trotting over to them…
And she became really playful making the little girl squeal with delight…
“But I like Pinky too” she said…
“Can we have two” said mum ha ha…
In the end White – or should I now say LULU was the chosen one…
TWO LITTLE CUTIES WHO BONDED IMMEDIATELY
They have a another slightly older dog and said LULU’s fesity-ness was the clincher…
She is going to have such a wonderful home and be a much loved little ‘doodle…
Unbelievably – and how different from Saturday when they all seemed to sleep during the choosing …
On Sunday they were all up and about and being almost boisterous – more like they are at 3am !!!!!!!!!!
So showing no signs of tiredness the remaining three pups waited for the final two visitors…
A family from Wales arrived and absolutely fell head over heels in love with Millie…
Despite her nasty wound Millie was absolutely charming and almost ate the treats they’d bought her lol…
(her appetite is a little jaded at the moment)
Once again Lilac was the immediate choice – however Yellow and Pink “did the girl band act” and stole the show…
After yet more heart rendering decisions it was Yellow who was the chosen one…
And at the time of writing she’s still “YELLOW” lol…
“We’re terrible at names ” said mum ” we have a cat called Boy…”
As soon as we know we’ll post it lol…
They live not very far from our favourite camp site…
So I’m pretty sure we’ll meet up over the coming years…
And so to our last visitors of the day…
By this stage Millie’s dad was in a bit of a grump…
I asked why and he shrugged and said ” No one wants Liley…”
Lilac (Liley to him lol) has been his favourite for an age…
The two of them have a lovely bond – bless him lol…
I didn’t know what to say…
MASOLA THE GOLDENDOODLE FORMERLY KNOWN AS LILAC
Our final family were a lovely couple who came all the way from Liverpool…
They’d had a wonderful Golden Retriever who’d given them years of joy…
They felt after her another Retriever would never quite match up…
But a Goldendoodle sounded perfect…
On hearing that – it was no surprise to us that Pink – or should I say TILLY was chosen…
Of all the puppies she’s definitely the most Goldie…
And the name chosen for her is truly lovely and very special to us…
It’s Millie’s Dad’s maternal grandmothers nickname…
TILLY is going to have an amazing life with a truly kind caring and very loving family…
Before Millie’s dad could say “can we keep her…” I was on the phone to the final reserved girl family…
“You have Lilac” I said – and I was delighted to hear them cheer…
Their children in particular fired off a long list of questions…
And yes she really can run fast especially when it’s dinner time !!!
Even Millie’s Dad was pleased if a little sad he couldn’t keep her…
Funny that given all along he’s said no to keeping one lol…
A little while later they emailed with her name…
“MASOLA” they said – “it’s Hungarian for little raisin…”
What a truly beautiful name for a truly beautiful little Goldendoodle…
Of them all she’s the most “doodly” if there is such a word…
Phew!!!
6 LITTLE GOLDENDOODLES WINDING DOWN AT THE END OF A HARD DAY
the other three were fast asleep !!!
Nine little puppies and nine expectant and I hope happy and proud families…
It’s only four weeks until the big collection day…
And given how this first month has flown by…
I’m pretty sure it will be gone in the blink of an eye…
But these are extremely important times for little puppies…
From 4 weeks old mum would begin socializing them…
Showing them right from wrong and teaching them to be dogs…
With Millie absent it’s up to us to do that…
Daunting and a lot of hard work but we owe it to you and more importantly Millie…
To produce well mannered well balanced little ‘doodles…
I however draw the line at licking their faces and backs whilst on all fours…
“I just want to give them the experience of a mom cleaning them ” says my mad as a hatter partner…
Me I’ll just stick to top and tailing with a warm flannel at the end of their day…
That’s about as cute as it gets…
Umm did I say “end of their day..?”
Silly me – each three or four hours seems to roll into one lol…
It’s rewarding but tough and thanks to those of you saying how “worn out” we looked lol…
A nice way of saying we looked like hell and smelled of puppy piddle poo and formula ha ha…
OK I hear the pitter patter of tiny feet…
I shall no doubt be faced with huge puppy piles and puddles everywhere…
Thanks again to you all for everything…
Please keep in touch and we shall of course treat each little ‘doodle like the precious bundle of joy they are…
As always lots of love Millie ~ Kate and the little ‘Doodles…
