MILLIE AND WALLY GREAT GOLDENDOODLE MATES


WALLY the Goldendoodle is growing at an alarming rate of knots!!!

As you can see at 16 weeks he’s almost as big as Millie…

The boy is going to be huge – just what we wanted…

And the fantastic news is Millie absolutely utterly adores him…

They really are great friends are hardly ever apart…

Unless of course her best mate Biddy the Labradoodle is about !!!

Wally has been a little timid and very nervous around people…

This is in complete contrast to Millie who loves people to pieces lol…

We had a funeral to attend last week and we left the dogs with Paddy ~ Lynn and Biddy…

Wally was a little nervous by it all – but we know the more new people the better…

So at last weekend’s Midlands ‘Doodle Meet – we were a little worried how the little chap would take it…

MURPHY AND LULU THE GOLDENDOODLES SWIMMING WITH MUM !!!

Two of Millie’s pups were there – the magnificent Murphy and lovely (but loopy) Lulu….

And they made a great fuss of us as we arrived which really was lovely…

As expected Wally despite his size and bravado in the house – was a little stunned by all the people and ‘doods…

MILLIE’S HALF SISTER MAISIE SAYS HELLO IN DOODLE STYLE TO WALLY


Being the baby of the bunch everyone wanted to say hello and fuss him to pieces…

But knowing how nervous of people he was everyone was given little treats to coax him to them…

Everyone was fantastic and very gentle and Wally quickly relaxed and strained at the lead to run free…

It was his first run with a pack and boy did he love it !!!

Of course Millie led the way with Biddy close on her heels…

It’s my favourite part of the any ‘doodle meet – letting them all free from their leads…

And at Coombe Abby the dogs have a super free run…

We let them loose in a lovely wood that leads to a huge open area – and boy do they charge up that hill…

THAT’S ME ON MY BOTTOM AFTER A PACK OF ‘DOODLES CRASHED INTO ME LOL

And yes I still have the bruise from my tumble lol…

From their we head through beautiful wooded pathways edged by ditches…

At this time of the year they are filthy filled with stinking gloopy mud…

And yes you guessed it the ‘doodles absolutely love it…

Within 10 minutes we had a pack of very muddy ‘doodles – except Wally he seemed bemused by it all !!!

A VERY MUDDY LULU (WHO ELSE COULD IT BE LOL)

Millie had a fantastic time – as did all the ‘doods – and both of our ‘doods came home absolutely worn out…

The meeting did Wally the power of good – he’d never seen so many dogs and people…

I’m pleased and proud of how he handled himself…

Whilst he’s still a little nervous around strangers he’s coming out of his shell…



I’ve taken him to two puppy classes now and progress is good…

He handled his first trip into the town centre very well and my initial concerns are now gone…

I just think he’s going to be an easy going laid back dood around people – so unlike Millie !!!

OK that’ll do for now but just to say Neil has a new site you might want to have a look at…

COMPARE THE DOODLES dot com lol…

It’s basically just a photo clicking time waster – upload your own photos and vote for your fave…

(it keeps him quiet haha)

Ok just to say Wally’s training is coming on very well…

Sit – Wait and Down are all commands he follows and follows well…

Millie has of course helped in this by showing him how to do things for treats !!!

One thing he has mastered and much better than Millie is the “High Five”…

So I’ll leave you with Wally showing how it’s done…

WALLY GIVES A GREAT HIGH FIVE !!!

Thanks for visiting and do visit DOODLE MANIA – it’s a fab forum for doodle lovers…

Love Kate ~ Millie and Wally XxX

And whilst I write this there’s only one – our little Max (or Dave as he’s known in these parts lol)…

Well I say “little” – he has a squawk as big as his feet !!!

It was his first night alone without the litter last night…

He howled for 2 hours – he was in such a state I had to come down to him…

He eventually fell asleep – but he really is missing his brothers and sisters…

Millie totally ignored the noise lol – well she is still shattered from the mini Midlands ‘doodle meet…



MILLIE TAKES A MUD BATH LOL


As you can see she had an absolute ball and loved seeing her best mates Biddy – and of course Paddy and Lynn…

OK onto the last of the little ‘doods…

They had a whale of a time their last week with us…

I think they enjoyed the more personal touch and loved the “sit and beg” game…

…aren’t they just clever little ‘doodles !!!



MILLIE JOINS IN THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY TRAINING CLASS

The last day with the three puppies didn’t start too well lol…

We were woken around 4am to a noise of real distress from all three…

Convinced someone had broken in and was trying to steal them we raced down the stairs…

Some how and no idea on God’s earth how – a black kitten had got into their room…

They had obviously woken and spotted it…

She was a beauty and sat bold as brass staring at them…

The three amigos were in a dreadful state lol…

It took us a long long time to calm them down…

Big tough guys I think not lol…

Our little Lulu (White) was the first to leave us yesterday…



LULU CUDDLES HER NEW BIG SISTER (we love the collar and tag!!!)

She has been a complete star this past few weeks…

Always helping with the cleaning up (lol)…

And always first to come for a cuddle or lick and fuss over any pups who were sad or distressed…

I just know her new family absolutely adore her and she’s going to have a fantastic life…

Word reaches us that she already adores their Labrador Stanley and he her – that is really sweet…

We were both a little sad to see her go – but Millie’s Dad in particular was very quiet…

Maz and Lulu have both been his little “angels” (sometimes the “sisters of sin” lol) since they were born…



MAZSOLA OFF TO PASTURES NEW – AND SOON TO BE BI LINGUAL !!!

Mazsola’s family arrived late afternoon and mum and dad were very excited…

Little Lilac seemed delighted to meet them again and even allowed a lot of tummy tickles from her new dad…

Now THAT is a rare honour…

They were always hoping for a mischievous puppy…

And with little Maz they have got that in bucketfuls ha ha…

If Millie’s Dad was quiet when Lulu left – I swear I saw a tear in his eye when his little Mazola left…

I have to admit this past week the two girls have gotten to me too…

Both absolute stunners and everything you would want in a dog…

Smart – pretty – loving – naughty – feisty – they have it in bag fulls…

OK that leaves us with our old mate Max (Blue/Dave)…




DAVE THE ‘DOODLE – HE LIKES BUCKETS AND DRAINS LOL

He kind of eyed us all suspiciously when we opened the puppy gate giving him the run of the downstairs…

He spent a long time sniffing around and playing with his mum…

But it is at my feet he wants to be – and still whimpers when I leave the room…

He’s the strong sensitive type I reckon lol…

As I mentioned earlier we put him back in the puppy room at bedtime…

But he was having none of it…

We have some work to do there I feel lol…

Max leaves us on Friday (his family are on honeymoon in the US)…

I shall be extremely sorry to see him go – we have a real natural bond going on…

Until then whilst I’m at work Millie’s Dad will have the hound dog howls ha ha…



GORGEOUS GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY MAX

WHERE ARE THEY NOW..?


We have received lots of calls emails texts and photos of the little ‘doodle pups…

I can’t tell you how happy it makes us to see they’re all settled in and happy…

I guess every time I pop a blog post up I’ll slap a few photos/movies on too…

Please keep them all coming we love to see and hear all about our brood lol…

And just a quick note for those using GOLDENDOODLES PHOTOS…

Please check the little message at the end of this post lol…

OK here’s an amazing video showing Cookie’s (Purple) first few days at her new home…

It brought a tear to my eye I have to say – and thank you so much for sending it us !!!








It’s obviously very tiring playing with Cookie the Goldendoodle puppy – don’t they look absolutely adorable !!!



LILLY IN HER I MUST NOT CHASE BOYS T-SHIRT LOL!!!


Lilly is absolutely loving her life in Wales…

And with that very apt t-shirt looks like she’s headed for the dog cat walk lol…










MURPHY THE GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY HAS BECOME MUM’S LITTLE HELPER LOL


Please keep them coming and I’ll pop more up next post…

OK Millie’s Dad says those of you using GOLDENDOODLES PHOTOS might want to download something…

Photos off digital cameras are HUGE !!!

So before uploading them to the site – firstly download – EASY THUMBNAILS – it’s completely free…

Under the settings go for 600 wide 800 high…

Under New Name add prefix tn_…

Then choose the photo from the window and click make (if you are doing lots click make all)…

You’ll now get resized photos with the prefix tn_ (thumbnail)…

So big JPG.1 would now be tn_JPG.1 – it’s smaller and fits nicely into forums !!!

OK enough techno speak I’m off for a girly morning shopping and coffee with Millie lol…

It was always our Saturday ritual and she loves the butcher’s shop !!!

So until the next time much love KATE MILLIE AND MAX XxX

A six hour round trip and worth every single yard!!!
She settled quite beautifully in the car…
As if she’d been driving all her life…

Then as we pulled up outside the house…
She vomited all over my son haha…
Memo to me new jeans for my boy haha…
Bless her though she was a complete angel…

A friend of mine had told me about how Guide Dogs are toilet trained…
So as soon as we got her inside it was “Busy Busy…”
Out into the garden and one long long wee and number two later…
Millie was praised to the hilt!!!

She has taken to this like a duck to water…
After sleeps – play – feeding and big drinks…
“Busy Busy” is the cry and out Millie trots!!!
Brilliant and perfect puppy house training in my book!!!

She quickly established her place for her shiny new bed…
Dragged the carefully folded bedding out…
Dragged it across the kitchen and into the conservatory…

The cuddly toy she had taken to was her next mission…
This delightul darling of a dog dragged it to her own made bed…
She nuzzled it chewed it then completely sparked out…
It had been one long adventure…
And one very tough day for one so little…
I have to say her snores were pure poetry…

As soon as she awoke it was “Busy Busy!!!”
Again she tumbled outside with glee and did the “business…”
Wow this really works!!!
She played and played and played until dinner time…
Had a couple of faceoffs with the cat…
But more or less ignored her…
Pretty sure those two are gonna be friends…

Her first dinnertime with us arrived…
And we were amazed at her manners!!!
Delicately taking each piece she would chew contentedly…
Swallow politely and lap gently at her water…
All that was missing was a napkin – such a lady…

Bedtime – for us anyway – came all too soon…
It was tough but we set up the stairgate…
Made her comfortable and stepped away…
Despite her tiring exciting day…
Boy did she get cross with us…

He barks yelps and crying almost broke our hearts…
But we stood firm and after a token ten minutes…
She dropped off to a peaceful and deep deep sleep…

Wow what a day what a delight and what a dog!!!

Stay tuned – this is can only get better!!!
