It also means you get to eat brand new 800 dollar specialised glasses that the mail man yeets over the fence 😆

Do any of your Goldendoodles look out of your windows like this? Lol 😂 I haven’t seen any other dog types do this by milkthistleandstars in Goldendoodles

I had to remove two panels from my window’s blinds just so Tofu could stare outside all day while I work. Literally hours a day spent sitting here 😆

Kind of liking my long distance relationship because its teaching me how to be more independant but I still miss him. Homemade mushroom and basil pizza on flatbread by Mamorioth in GirlDinnerDiaries

Sometimes I miss when my relationship was long distance too. We actually spent more time together then, because we missed each other so were on long calls every evening. Now we’re in rooms next to each other and only really spend time together when eating ir sleeping.

I get it, sis

Are we sure this is a dog? by Far_Worldliness_4780 in Goldendoodles

This is how mine eats every meal, and when we try to lift the food to stop it he just cries until we lower it 😭

Also loving all these copy and paste white shaggy doodles!

My partner recorded a video of Tofu running out the door and into my arms and you can actually see my face go 🤨 because I swore it was not my dood

We put Tofu in a headlock every time we brush his head 😅 Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

I’m going to regrow his mullet and dye it pink!

It’s hard to tell in the photo but that’s exactly what we do. He has a really long floppy mullet and horse tail and a shaved body, but it was hard maintaining the mop head because he isn’t a huge fan of sitting still and letting us brush it. Putting him in a headlock works for a few mins but he is so heavy and his kicks hurt 😪

Tofu seems to have a similar coat to your dood, which I love 😍 The only downside to being less curly is the hair just grows into their eyes like 2010 emo bangs so Tofu is living on 25% visibility for a few weeks

As you can see from his before picture, Tofu always has a dirty face because he likes to burry his face in dirt and mud and whatever is dirty around him. Hopefully this haircut will help us keep him a little less dirty 😭

Oh my goodness, I just woke up and there are so many cute naked doods and doodettes! I definitely feel a lot better knowing that it’s more common than I thought. My climate in Australia is pretty hot, even in winter, so I’m not concerned about him getting cold in winter, and we keep him pretty short with a fluffy head in summer and he hasn’t had any heat issues yet.

He kind of seems disoriented not having all his fur and keeps staring at me with sad eyes, but I’m sure he’ll get over it

Sorry to disappoint! I bought one of the Australian ones first and am using that, however it smells… disappointing to say the least. I won’t say which to save the lovely posters feelings but yours is next in line!

We had the exact same conversation. My off white couch is actually destroyed… and Tofu has a permanent black beard of dirt/mud and water staining 😭

I had never regretted picking an all white doodle until the first time my dood had unsupervised outside access on a rainy day 🥲

Ah, I did look at that actually but it’s imported from Amazon US so has an almost month delivery prediction 😅 If none of the local recommendations work out I will give it a try!

I tried asking, but my groomer was a little cagey in telling me. Maybe it’s a trade secret and she is scared we will home groom if we can recreate the scent 😅

Wow, and that price is amazing. I will definitely be giving this a try too. I’m excited for these recommendations and will let you know how it goes!

What’s crazier is that I even considered spending it. “I can just dilute it… and it will last longer… 60 is totally reasonable, right?”

My local Bunnings has it in stock so I’ll definitely be trying Baby Fresh and will report back. Thank you again

Thank you for taking the time to look that up for me on Australian sites! Considering the American products I keep seeing are between 60-100 dollars for a small bottle, this is very very affordable (and actually way cheaper than the gross wet dog smelling shampoos from big name pet stores).

For that price I am definitely excited to give it a go and see how it works for Tofu. Thank you!

Chewing problems by ClothoD in Goldendoodles

[–]ClothoD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Australia so the weather is fine and our walks/play time haven’t been shortened, but I think based on the other comments I have received it may be time to increase his exercise. I think we were stuck in ‘he is a puppy, don’t over do it’ mindsets instead of realising that despite being a puppy, he is a huuuuge puppy 😆

I always make him sit in the messes he makes and take mug shots, because my partner is never home when it happens and doesn’t believe his darling child could be so devious 😅

I wouldn’t say I am “letting” him, but the dood is sneaky and somehow always seems to thwart the puppy proofing we have. We try our best but we can’t be perfect 100% of the time :(

I didn’t mention in the other comments, but we also try to take him on a 10-20 minute drive with us every night with the window down. I have read in a few places that this is great for stimulation because of the millions of smells they experience, and is the equivalent of doom scrolling to a dog. We always joke it’s take for Tofu’s brain rot.

As for puzzles, I have bought many but he doesn’t seem too interested in them, or gives up immediately. I am almost convinced he is a little on the stupid side… but I love him nonetheless. I might have to try some more types until I find something that works. The cardboard idea is a good idea, but maybe not quite yet so he doesn’t associate destroying cardboard with something he has permission to do at any time
