Proud parents showing off...

Being gorgeous....

Monty is such a clever boy and seems to really want to learn.

He loved his first training class...

.... but didn't enjoy his first bath very much!

Taking well earned naps after all his mischief!

This is the longest update ever - I think I might have got a bit carried away! We just love Monty so much; he is really sweet and loving and has fitted into our family perfectly. Everyone else's photos are looking great- we hope to be able to catch up with you all at the next Doodle walk... x

Isla Meets A Wolf!

We went to The Lookout yesterday and just look who we bumped into!



Actually, she's 3/4 Northern Inuit and 1/4 Cezk Wolf Dog

... not just beautiful but brainy too - she's on the Berkshire Search & Rescue Dogs team and they were training there yesterday. One of the girls was extremely taken with Isla and would like a male puppy from the next litter!!!

Spot the doodle....

Monty Witton hiding from the vacuum cleaner! More pics to follow.... xx

Its been a very busy couple of weeks so please accept my apologies for not posting more frequently!

I took Iggle Piggle (Troy) to the vets yesterday for his final vaccination. I chose not to have Isla done, but they were both examined by Richard, Isla was officially "put on the books" so to speak and they were both weighed. Troy is now 9.76 kilos, Isla was a slightly more chunky 11.5 kilos.

I decided not to take Troy on the walk as he had only just had his vaccine (10.20am) and the walk was due to start at 11. Here are just some Photos from the walk.

I'm Naff

I still can't get to grips with this blog thing, Cody will be in his teens before I do lol..

He is coming on leaps and bounds, he's meeting his first girlfriend tomorrow so watch out...

His diet is fantastic, he's having his chicken, pattie's and on occasion we give him raw veg and he just love's his fruit. He loves peaches, bananas and Mollie berries out of mum's garden......

Mistakes in the house are very rare now and he does his business in a particular area in our home and at mum's...

I'm going to perceive with this Blog thing and I will get it right..

Can I just say where is all of Cody's siblings there only seems to be Monty and us on?? Shame!!

Luvs Us xx

DOODLE SHOW ON SATURDAY 18.7.09

And off we go . . .

Quick treat here . . .

and here . . .

And we got a PINK 4th rosette! And highest placed doodle puppy too!!

Taken by friends that came with us, they were more in control of themselves I was just too proud to take decent photos . . .

Nosode Question?

Hi Katie

Have had a complete blank, senior moment! Read the puppy pack and it states that we should dose our puppy once a month for the next six months starting July and ending in December - is that just once a day and just one day in the month or is that twice a day evening and morning for 4 days (26, 27, 28 & 29) as you did in June?

xx

Look who won a prize!!

Monty and James came 4th in the best puppy class at the Labradoodle Trust Show yesterday, not bad for beginners!! James was a great little handler and even gave the judge a treat to give to Monty which mean't she had his undivided attention which possibly helped!

Oh NO

I'm still trying and learning just like our Cody, look at the pics backwards and you see the story xx

Cody's 1st Week

Sister & Brother getting on until??

Cody's 1st Week

How Handsome I'm I x

Isla, Troy and Daisy at Broomhall Park today

Troy's Holiday Snaps

Troy (nee Iggle Piggle) is staying with me while Vanessa attends a family 80th birthday party in Brazil (lucky girl). He was wormed yesterday with Drontal and today we went to the set of Robin Hood - being filmed in Virginia Waters.

Here he is looking very dignified! Remember you can click on the picture to blow it up.

Here he is following Isla - who is an old hand on this walk now!

Look at the size of those paws - he's going to be big...

And finally, on the set - with my very pregnant girlfriend - which gives an indication of the "pace" of this walk!

They've also been to Ryslip Kennels today because I needed a mid-month freezer top-up and they do a good whole minced chicken (everything goes in bar the feathers). This makes a good base for the patty mix. They were hugely admired there and have done about an hour in the van together today.

All grown up!

Sorry had to put these couple of pictures up. This is what a grown up should look like, only yours won't be black. And Katie take a look at those eyes!!

Monty's progress!

This picture was taken the day after we picked Monty up and the mat he is laying on is just inside the front door where Molly usually lays so she has moved to the bottom of the stairs, so you can't get outside or go upstairs without standing on a dog!!

Just a quick update to let you know that we are planning on going to the Labradoodle Show on Saturday weather permitting.


Monty is going great guns now, can't get his food down quick enough, can't run around winding Molly up quick enough, and has had his first training lesson and couldn't do enough quick enough if there was a treat at the end of it! James took his lesson and homework this week is to practice 'sit', 'down' and 'stand' with or without commands and 'wait' with a command. Both the dogs will 'wait' for their food now and Monty will sit on command but his down and stand still needs work but James is doing these every morning before school!

1st Vet Visit

Mum, Mollie and Me took Cody to the vets today to get him checked over. The Vet took one look and fell in love with him, she checked his heart and said it was very healthy, checked his eyes & ears all good there and then he was weighed, he now weighs 10K. Oh what a BIG boy we have.
We have all seen a difference in him already and he has not been with us a week yet.
For the last two nights now he has gone to sleep with making no sound, he is just the BEST thing ever. He's having a nap at the moment and Mark is outside sanding the garden furniture WOW.

Love the Rousso's

Monty Witton's first few days...

Saying goodbye to Katie....

The boys playing football.

With his favourite toy, Padraig the duck.

He is so gorgeous!

And so handsome!

We are completely besotted with Monty, who has been a little angel since he arrived; he is a real credit to Katie and all the work that she has put in. So far, he seems to have settled really well in his new home and loves his toys lots... and we just can't stop cuddling him!
