Kiska's Petite Golden Doodles

03/15/2024

Puppies became all kinds of fun in week four and five. Rough housing amped up and became more energetic. They got new stuff on their quilt and in their enclosure every day. They found their voices and learned which ones were acceptable and which ones were not. Kiska even started enforcing my rules which i thought was hilarious! You’ll see her get involved when the voices get nasty and other times she trying to get them back into the quilt! The puppy baby gym was very popular, and the variety of new things daily was fun! New textures for feet, new smells, new moving things, ways to play, and they got so affectionate! They love giving puppy kisses! They started keeping me very busy!

In their enclosed area for daytime which was in the dining room, puppies could hear all the household noises and get used to blenders, vacuum cleaner, doorbell, etc but it had higher sides and Kiska wasn’t free to come and go as she pleased. If she was out she always wanted in, if she was in it wasn’t long before she wanted out. Puppies both play really well by themselves and they started waiting to do the wrestling with each other til they were out on the quilt i noticed, and calmer play here. The design of this area was so everywhere they could be other than in their bed or a crate, was a proper place to p*e. Later on I’d start moving it further away from the places they’d sleep so they had to hold it til they got there to the grass and go looking for it. The grass had ground alfalfa pellets under it so it did smell like grass. It was too cold to have them start going potty outside at five weeks like i wanted to so I had to wait a week. In the end starting outside at six weeks didn’t stunt their progress a bit! But the week they were five weeks i was having trouble keeping them warm enough INSIDE the house without complicating things further. And they loved eating food which they also got to start at four weeks! Yum!

At four weeks old we started bringing the puppies out to a quilt on the living room floor to have bigger more exciting playtimes. They knew where their potty tray was and they used it! The quilt was to give them traction, and a defined area to be in. Without traction their legs slipped and splayed out and they looked like swimmers which isn’t good for them. The quilt is where all the best play stuff was and new people started visiting for socialization. New items showed up every day on the quilt. At four weeks old i was so busy with puppies I got hopelessly behind in posting!

Well I think crate training is working. They sufficiently love their crate. The dark picture was in the dark this morning when I work up, I found them tucked into the blankets neatly like if a person had done it, and they did it themselves! I had to check back all morning til noon trying to find them awake but they were always voluntarily in the crate asleep every time. Finally I got them moved out to the dining room. This current nap brownie went into the crate them whined til her sister joined her. She’s a bossy baby, clearly….

01/11/2024

The puppies are so playful now and so energetic. Brownie is now 4lbs. Their personalities are really coming out now.

Whelp, I made her a little sweater by cutting holes in a tube sock!

Well lots of new things.
1) Puppies love country music! I’ve been playing music since sometimes it’s a too quiet for when I’m the only one home. And I want them used to lots of noise.
2) They moved onto a larger pen a couple days ago and one big reason is it’s better for potty training. The other is desensitization to household noises like going from silence to the blender screaming to make a smoothie! But on potty training the closest tray they actually have not put any p*e on since three days ago - they’re first day in this setup. They walk right thru the close tray to get to the far one which IS right where I want it. After a couple more days I’ll be able to remove the close tray all together and begin moving the other one farther away. Eventually outside.
3). Crate training began. I’ve been putting them in the crate for naps and whenever I leave during the day. They sleep tight thru it like pros.
4) We moved to artificial turf as it covers up the p*e pads and alfalfa pellets and deposits they’ve made. It looks so much nicer and it drains right away to the p*e pad leaving dry (fake) grass to be on. The main reason tho is the brown puppy was grabbing the far edge of the p*e pads and backing up to dump everything on it and make a jumble of the pads. So… we had to come up with something!
5) We have started puppy mush which is kibble blended into powder and mixed with goats milk to make slop. Yum!!!
6) Rough housing has become a lot more fun and amusing. All the sounds… oh my! They’re a lot more active now and even bunny hop to get places fast. It’s not a super coordinated run just yet. They’re growing fast and I’m beginning to see the sad day when it’s over like a blur and they’re not mine anymore…. But for now they are still just the sweetest, most affectionate puppies I’ve ever known!

Forgot these two in my last post. Kiska’s really adjusted well to motherhood!

A lot has changed in the last few days. Blonde baby, Whisper, hit 3lbs today, and her little nose is turning more black but still has a pink spot. They’re getting closer to climbing out of their enclosure but haven’t managed yet.they’ve had their fist very young visitor and did great with that, but the biggest thing is they’ve learned to play with each other and with their mother and Kiska’s figured out how to play back now!! It’s very exciting! Plus, I even saw the brown puppy, Squeak, wagging her tail for a second! If you watch the video you’ll see a bit where Whisper is playing with Squeak’s tail. Also, I set up a new enclosure for daytimes in the dining room so they can get used to normal household sounds. I’ve been playing country music for them until and including today to get them plenty of noise. They’re doing well on potty training! This enclosure will help me to know when to advance them. They should get to avoiding where they are walking to the far tray to use the potty, because it’s the furthest away from their bed. That’s when I know I can take out the trays in the middle and give them some play space. I’m hoping that’s within a few days!

Look who hit 3lbs sometime last night!!! Snuggly puppies and yawns all around…

12/27/2023

Annnddd another one! She stretched and now you can see the white on her paws!

12/27/2023

My photographer is busy so I’m playing photographer this morning. Puppy snoozes are so sweet!

12/23/2023

Aaaannnndddddd….. life at my house is about to change quickly! Whisper is standing up supporting her full body weight on her legs, including her huge belly! Won’t be long now before she walks! Then look out world, here she comes!

12/23/2023

Conversations with puppies…. Somewhat one sided but fun anyway. In addition to opening their eyes yesterday, Whisper hit 2lbs! Squeak did that two days ago and it’s old news but Whisper is keeping up in the growth department. The walking/dragging themselves around is cute, and their back legs are getting almost ready to stand. Their whelping box underwent a transformation yesterday, on their two week birthday, going from having a flatter fleece blanket on one side, and a cozy sheepskin on the other, thinking they’d learn which is the bed side. And last night while they slept, a plastic tray with alfalfa pellets appeared on the non bed side of the box. Alfalfa smells like grass so you guessed it, we’re beginning potty training! This is not for use yet but it’s important to expose them to the pellets long before they ever eat food with their mouth, so they don’t confuse the two and be pellet eaters. Their bed area will shrink this next week and bathroom area will grow as we move from simple exposure to use. Tonight I’ll post Christmas pics so check back later! My photographer has been busy!

12/22/2023

Look whose precious tiny eyes are opening!!!!!!! I came in to the puppy room to weigh them and what a nice surprise! Whisper has both about half open and Squeak has one so far!

12/22/2023

We get all the cuddles around here! Whisper loves to tip herself back in our arms and be held like a baby! Such sweetness! They’ll be two weeks old tomorrow! Time flies!

12/21/2023

Check out Kiska! She thinks she’s winning with such a highly coveted treat- a piece of broccoli, but really I am!!! If you haven’t met her this gives you a good perspective on what a 15lb goldendoodle looks like size wise. And also, her cafe au lait coloring. Mom is 15lbs and dad is 9lbs of lovable sweetness! Her babies will most likely be in that range and they’ve been busy practicing the cuddles. Perfect for your busy lifestyle, traveling, or smaller living arrangements and with all the great personality you expect from a golden retriever, with that amazing hypoallergenic, low shedding poodle hair. Just what you need! Reserve for Christmas, Receive for Valentines Day.

This is the best picture of Whisper’s markings so far. She’s changed a lot since birth. Dark hair is growing in around her mouth highlighting that there’s white there too. Nose hasn’t fully changed color yet and I can’t tell what color it is still. She’s got white on her chest and her neck too! Now, I was expecting white markings on a cream puppy but I don’t understand white and black/brown on cream.

12/18/2023

I got out Kiska’s dog bed to consider putting it in with puppies. First criteria to see if it would work was to see if they could get into it. Check! Next, do they all fit? Check! Third, do they like it? Squeak looks pretty comfy! Check! Check out Whispers big job!!! Oh, it’s such hard work!

12/17/2023

They’re growing out of my weighing bowl!!! I got out the bowl when other containers were too small for these rapidly growing puppies. They squirm all over the place and off the scale if not contained. And why the washcloth, you ask? Because the porcelain is cold causing them to freak out and squirm all the more. Freak out is an overstatement but it for sure made it harder to read the display because they were moving so much. The recipe to sleeping thru every weighing seems to be the washcloth and the bowl. These babies are learning to be incredible cuddle bugs and they love people! When we get in the box with them they smell us and feel our warmth and the army crawl and swim right over to us to be loved on. Movie night are a pleasure with these two making their way thru the blankets to get to us!

12/14/2023

Like mother, like daughters! Everyone’s very comfy in their box and happy to show their tummies! On the last pic, there was no help getting into this pose whatsoever! I don’t know how the blonde baby, “Whisper” did it!!! And, I weighed them AFTER eating today so everyone slept thru getting weighed, for the win!!! Please like and share my posts on the Kiska’s Petite Golden Doodles. I need help to reach more people who might want a Christmas/Valentine’s puppy! If one of your contacts buys a puppy you get $50!

12/12/2023

My snuggle bugs today!!! All cuddled up in my bed that’s set up in the puppy room. Who wants a whelping box when you can take over the real bed!!!! I’m noticing features that just recently developed and some I probably just hasn’t noticed yet. Fascinating!!! Noses will turn black or brown between days 3 and 5. Today is day 3. Time to start ESI!

12/10/2023

We have puppies and the reservation list is open!!! After a long day of Kiska’s labor and delivery, I posted yesterday thinking that we were not done. Several days before we’d thought we heard more puppies than two with a doppler, and we could feel them in there moving in more than one area simultaneously or in rapid succession, but in truth it was two very large babies. If they moved their head and then feet it would have felt like two vastly different areas. And the expectation was always for more than two. I’d thought four at first, just based on Kiska’s size. Anyway, we waited and she was very restful and peacefully caring for her babies, and signs of labor diminished. We couldn’t feel any more babies in her abdomen either. Maycie confirmed with the doppler last night, that there were no more puppies in her. So, we have two gorgeous much loved and anticipated puppies who have all of the opportunity and resources that usually a larger litter would share! Babies didn’t lose weight, they’ve gained it! They are happy little creatures! Today we just relaxed and cared for puppies and Kiska. It was a very peaceful Saturday. Kiska, the mother, is 15lbs and the father is 9lbs. Some could be a bit larger than that range and we should be able to tell that before puppy selections are mad e at 7ish weeks. PM Kiska’s Petite Golden Doodles for more information about that and we’ll set up a video call so you can learn more and get to know the babies. Two holidays in one! Give puppy selection position and pet supplies for Christmas and get your new baby for Valentines Day! Travel/delivery to major airports is available if necessary. And don’t forget to share! If one of your friends buys a puppy, you get $50! Some restrictions apply. We have one brown female with white chest and paws, and one cream color female with white on her forehead. They are the sweetest babies ever! We love them so much already!!!

12/09/2023

Well, at about 9am this morning, Kiska decided she couldn’t get comfortable any other way and she crawled up in my lap to have her first baby. This wasn’t how I saw it done in the videos!! The chocolate one has a white chest and socks, and the cream color baby is solid. They are both the sweetest things, and Kiska loves them so much already! She’s been cuddling them, feeding them, tending them, keeping track of them. All the good mommy things to do. She’s taking a long break now to recharge and I think we’ll get a few more pups before she’s done. Good job, Kiska!! Tune in later tonight to see what we end up with! This is FUN like Christmas!

12/07/2023

We’ve been watching Kiska’s tummy dance with puppy kicks. Anyone want to see? My daughters think I’m more impressed with it than other people would be. Only a couple more days at the most to get a video of that. They’re due so soon!!! This video of Kiska dancing, prepregnancy, is mainly so you can see her spots of cafe au lait coloring.

12/03/2023

It’s beginning to look a lot like puppies!!! They’re due at the end of next week! Notice how thick Kiska is thru the middle? Normally, she’s a petite build, thin dog, but now she’s stout. I can’t wait to see what colors and sizes we have! The waitlist is open!! Contact me to find out how to get on it to secure your spot in the puppy pick lineup! Give the gift of puppy supplies and puppy pick position for Christmas, and get your puppy for Valentine’s Day! Anyone who shares my posts and one of your contacts buys a puppy, gets a $50 finders fee! So like and share please! (The contact will have to be able to tell me who shared it.)
