Wall-E Waffles Transformation

[Rebekah Williams]

I thought I would start this and keep adding to it as he grows up. I can't wait to see how he changes.

This is our new puppy, Wall-E (Wall-E Waffles).

He is a "Cinnamon" F1 Standard Goldendoodle and right now he's 9 weeks old (weighs a little over 10lbs). 

He is not shedding but I know that (and their coloring) can change as they get older.

UPDATE: He does shed a bit now but NOTHING in comparison to my two cats. It's really quite a treat actually, the shedding is minimal but there are some hairs when he rubs against my black dress pant leg.

His teeth are lethal weapons right now and he's living up to his name as a trash robot...If I had a nickel for every time I say the words "what's in your mouth?!" or "What are you eating?!" :) :)

UPDATE: His biting went down exponentially after he lost about 8 teeth in 3 days after the 4 months mark. He also seems to understand and, for the most part, obey when we say "No Bite". Pet corrector spray helped a lot when he would get out of control. Now, he only gets kind of bitey when he's playful.

We absolutely love him.

UPDATE: We love him even more! 

Wall-E: 2 Weeks...I think :).

Wall-E: 5 Weeks

Wall-E: 9 Weeks

Wall-E: 10 Weeks

We started training on the harness.

Wall-E: 11 Weeks 

He weighed 18.1 lbs at his vet appointment and is very healthy! The vet said he looks like he's going to be a tall dog because his legs are so long.

He was very charming at the vet and "sit" and "shook" all the ladies hands on command. Then he came home and went back to biting cat tails and stealing kitchen towels and thinking "No" means "Yes!" :)

Wall-E: 12 Weeks

Wall-E: 13 weeks (22.6lbs according to the home scale)

Wall-E: 14 Weeks

Wall-E at 15 Weeks: 28.8 lbs 

I'm not sure how accurate his weight is since we're just trying to weigh ourselves then hold him and weigh ourselves again and subtract the difference and he's wiggly haha. I guess we'll find out how accurate this is when we visit the vet again. We have our next round of shots on Saturday.

He's a scraggly, lanky little guy. Tons of energy and a bit of an attitude. He's got a ton of facial expressions and he's a talkative pup who likes to "argue" or "grumble" when we won't give him a treat until he performs a task, but when he's tired, he's very loving and affectionate and cuddly.

Wall-E at 16 weeks: 30.2 lbs

We went to PetSmart and got our first puppy bath today.

His face is so fluffy! :)

Wall-E at 17 weeks: 31 lbs

Having a Christmas tree up has been a challenge. This pup will eat anything but he is understanding "No tree!" 

We are going to our first day of puppy daycare tomorrow.

I don't have any kids so I feel like I'm pushing my babe out of the nest! 

Hope he plays nice with the other pups...and they're nice to him haha oh boy, I'm one of those people.

Wall-E at 18 weeks: 34.2 lbs

Wall-E at 19 weeks: 36.6 lbs

This week was a rough week. We had an outbreak of kennel cough at our doggy daycare and guess who was one of the victims? You got it, this little guy (he had all his vaccinations, bordetella included). Having never seen or dealt with kennel cough, the day he got really sick I was certain he had eaten something that had poisoned him. He was hacking and choking and coughing and gagging up this frothy mucus/foam for an hour. Absolutely terrifying. So my husband and I rush to the emergency vet (he gets carsick, too) and 2 hours and $200, some puppy puke and fits of frothy coughing gagging later we figure out the poor little guy has kennel cough. He got a couple of shots and is on antibiotics and cough medicine now. He's doing much better today an only coughs a little bit when he gets excited but phew, what an experience. Now that I know all about kennel cough, there were lots of signs leading up to the breaking point that he was getting sick and I just didn't recognize it. I have felt so bad. Hoping he keeps getting better and we're cough free by Christmas. 

Wall-E at 20 weeks: 38.2 lbs 

Wall-E at 21 weeks: 40 lbs

Wall-E at 22 weeks: 41 lbs

Wall-E at 23 weeks: 43 lbs

Wall-E at 24 weeks: 45.6 lbs

Wall-E at 25 weeks: 47.6 lbs

SO adorable! I haven't even tried with the tree yet...I love the legs on Wall-E! He's also got such a gorgeous colour. I'm sure doggy daycare will burn off some energy during the day, both mental and physical. He'll just want to cuddle when he gets home! 

[Janne and Darius]

Poor little guy! I've heard that they can get bordetella, even with being vaccinated. We had to be vaccinated for puppy class. Hope he's feeling better soon. xo

Wall-E is such a handsome boy!

Wall-E is so cute. Our puppy Henry is 20 weeks, and has been almost the same exact weight as Wall-E has been over the last couple of months.  How old is Wall-E now?  How big is he??  Henry is a rescue so we never met his parents, so we have no idea what size he will be..

[Rebekah Williams]

Oh thank you! Wall-E will be 24 weeks on Wednesday so just over 5 months. He was born on a Wednesday so every week we do weigh in Wednesdays and a picture :) His mom was a 45ish lb golden retriever and his dad was a 60 lb cinnamon or red poodle. I'm not sure how big he'll get but we were estimating 60ish lbs! He already weighs about as much as his mom. She was a petite delicate little lady. There are some fun puppy to dog weight calculators if you search on Google, don't think they're super accurate cause they can be all over the place, but they're fun just to try and get a guesstimate!

[Jennifer H]

oh ok, I didn't realize Wall-E was only 24 weeks.  Look forward to seeing how he grows.  Did see those dog weight calculator.  I agree that they are fun, but probably not accurate.  We have been getting ranges from 50 pounds to well over 100 lbs. lol

Wall-E is the first pup I’ve seen who looks similar to my Beamer in terms of the coat changes!!  He’s 19 weeks and 40 lbs though haha. Thanks for the updates, it’s fun seeing Wall-E grow!
