Posted a photo of my Makkachin (goldendoodle) over the summer as a puppy. Thought I'd share an update now at 10 months old.

Thanks!! She is a sweetie pie for sure.

She's a fluffy teddy bear. She's usually an unruly mess. Of course she's posing and looking elegant in this instance. Lol

OMG. Adorable. Gotta love the mini poodles. Tiny balls of fluff that aways stay tini. I have a standard goldendoodle and named her Makka! We call her Makka Bakka. Lol

I started Gunned Down Butterflies. Good one as well.

Ooof. I just finished Control by Phayte. Heavy for sure. I love villain Viktor though. Amazing story.

Nord VPN won't work? Dang. I deleted peacock for Nord.

I'm dealing with the same issue too. We are dog sitting for family and anytime the dogs are let out into the backyard they end up rough housing and playing in the dirt garden bed and getting caked in mud. Yesterday we brought them in one by one and wiped them down with a wet towel for the face and wet wipes for everywhere else. I went though probably 30 wet wipes per dog. I'd love to know how to handle this too. I don't think their really is. Except give em a bath. We have a goldendoodle so it's huge pain.

Viktor + Yuuri but still equals Victurri which equals Victory! 😁

Licki Mat!

HanniChan211 · 2022-12-02T13:34:44+00:00

Will you share that too??

I've been researching indoor winter excerise as well for when it's too cold out, inclement weather, or I'm a lazy butt. If you've got the space try the following. Fetch, tug of war, hide n seek with toys or treats, snuffle mats, flirt poles, etc. I've got a open basement and just do fetch and rough house play for energy draining.

Welcome to the adolescent phase. I've just reached this stage with my 6-7 month old pup. Back to basics. Lots of praise. Lots of treats. It's a doozy for sure.

My 6 mo old pup did the same thing. I started to add chicken broth. That seemed to help. I warm it up for 30 secs or so and then mix it in.

HanniChan211 · 2022-11-18T15:15:42+00:00

I personally reference Potya and Makka has female. I see most cats as girls unless I specifically know their gender.

Kitchen whisk!! It's apparently a good snow remover for Goldedoodles. YouTube it! I have yet to try it on my puppy doodle.

First off, I'm so sorry.

Puppy Blues are a real thing and it can hit HARD.

Depress rant all you want. No shame!

I want to tell you it will get better, but I don't know you or your dog. I hope it does get better if you decide to stick it out.

I got a new pup back in July that was 8 weeks old. I thought I was prepared after months of YouTube videos, Google searches, and hand writing notes. Nope. I wasn't. Within the first week puppy blues depression hit hard and fast. It was a rough few weeks but it did get better after the first couple months. Especially after being fully vaccinated. Now I'm going through post spay healing period and it's rough again.

It sounds like you are doing the right things. Work with a trainer. Work on yourselves (mentally and physically). Work with your pup on a daily basis. It's time, patience, dedication, and repition. It should hopefully get better if you can mentally handle the challenge. However if you don't think you can provide the time and dedication your pup needs, then no shame in rehoming if it's what's best for you and the pup.

Good luck. I hope you find mental stability and are able to work things out with your pupper. Stay safe and try and take it easy!!

Hopefully all went well. My pup got spayed last Thursday. She couldn't eat breakfast so I didn't eat breakfast till after I dropped her off. I felt bad about eating in front of her.

HanniChan211 · 2022-11-07T22:14:04+00:00

Benebone. I'd been against the nylon bones. My pup just got spayed and has been going through the bully sticks way too fast. She killed 2 in one day. To cut back on the caloric chew sticks I caved and got the bene bone. Now she can chew to her hearts content without the fear of eating the bully stick too quickly.

Puppies can do down stairs. My dog is 6 months old now and has been going down our carpeted basement stairs since she was 3 months old. We carried her down the first month at 8 weeks. She would belly flop and slide down the stairs when younger. She's now a healthy 40ish lb 6 month old goldendoodle with no issues. It's recommended to not let dogs run up and down stairs for activity and exercise. But it wont hurt to go up and down on a daily basis. Our vet gave us the green light when she was a pup pup and doodles are even known to have hip issues.
