This is definitely where Grace really frustrates me. Personally, I don't have a problem with privately rehoming an animal. Before our landlord said no (sob), my boyfriend and I were seriously considering rehoming an older British Shorthair cat. However, Grace is just purposefully disingenuous again and again and again. I remember when she first re-homed Ziggy and she was going on and on about how easy it is to find a perfect breed to adopt. She definitely made it sound like she got him from an adoption centre, because that obviously gives her the most social kudos.

But like fwooper said above, no one is ever going to find a 12 week maltipoo at an adoption centre – because anyone with a dog like that will know they can make back most of their money by selling it on again. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few people who started looking for poodle crosses to adopt with good intentions that ultimately went on to buy a puppy because they couldn't find one to rescue after her posts.

Grace just seems to think that if you're vague enough with the truth, then it doesn't count as lying. But it does – and that's why she's got 14 Tattle threads and counting on her.

That she hasn't neutered either... whenever an adult male dog isn't neutered yet it usually means they at some point want to be used to breed (to me anyway). Especially if he keeps chronically humping everything

to be fair though in lockdown vets cannot neuter dogs (or at least the ones near my parents anyway) they got a dog around the same time she did and have been unable to get it neutered as they were advised it go on heat once then do it.. which is now not possible.
Those comments about her book.... that long non sensical one reads like it was written by her tbh. Also it seems (from that wuote) that a lot of the book is geared towards the "career" or influencer... how is that relevant to most people?!

Depends on the vet, quite a lot of them do it and also more vets than now were doing it when restrictions weren't as harsh. She's had the dog for ages

By increasing the demand for designer dogs and not neutering hers, she is contributing to the issue that most rescues struggle with - a surplus of less pretty dogs and people not neutering their pets.

Off topic but all dogs are beautiful even the ugly ones :love:

My rescue pup was neutered mid-lockdown last summer, it will depend on the vet.
 
It’s just so disingenuous, I got my (mongrel NON designer) dog for free from a family friend and would never say I rescued/rehomed him, I had been looking at rescues for months and it just happened that his dog had had puppies that we could have. I think it’s so bad for her to act like she rescued a 12 week old designer puppy when she just bought him like anyone else. she’s literally a compulsive liar like just say she bought him!!!

Is it bad even the reviews she posted by her friends don't even make sense 🥴 what the hell does "the vulnerability collapses in on itself due to the intention of posting in a vulnerable way" mean... or am I dumb lol

I don’t know the context to this but it seems like she’s saying the value of vulnerability in emotionally raw posts online is erased if the post is intentionally vulnerable. The way she’s said it makes it sound like Grace has written a “Maybe this sounds trite” disclaimer before being openly vulnerable herself.

I kind of think it’s a damaging thing to say to be honest. Obviously some people fake an emotion to garner sympathy when they’ve done something wrong, but I don’t think it’s at all the case that vulnerability online loses its value if it’s part of a planned post.

Also, hilarious that she’s written something complaining about relatability given it’s something she saw here and complained about once. I remember talking about it! Can’t wait for her to say that us no longer being interested in her if we can’t connect with her = us being selfish and controlling!

Yeah, all the 'feedback' we've seen so far are screenshots of whatsapp messages, so people she will likely already know will probably just say positive things...? It'll be interesting to read official bookstore reviews and write ups by other authors etc once it's properly out

my post?! 😭 I'm not PRing her at all. A bit horrified that it sounds like her writing!! I'm not on her side with relatability at all to be clear!

I was saying that people on Tattle spoke ages ago about her not being relatable anymore, and that she posted a story (seemingly in response) saying that it was selfish to "demand" relatability from her.

The point of my post is that, especially going what looks like a weird preface about vulnerability, it seems like she's dedicated an entire section of her book to arguing that it's unreasonable/selfish to expect relatability from her/an influencer? and like she's going to be 'vulnerable' about how this has affected her in order to collect sympathy.

we've established that it isn't fair to view wanting relatability from an influencer as bad, because there's nothing selfish or unreasonable about no longer connecting with a moneyvlogger and no longer wanting to consume that type of content.

I tried to paraphrase what Grace's friend said in a more easily understood way and clearly failed lol. It's not an opinion I share

My intention was not to agree with Grace/defend her friend. It was to draw attention to the fact that it seems like she's written a whole section of her book complaining about people wanting her to be relatable. And that she will play the victim in it, because it's prefaced with something about planned "vulnerability" seeming trite. Maybe next time I will hit the mark!!

No it's OK! I'd rather know if something I wrote came off poorly/didn't do the job and I wouldn't have known if you hadn't said anything! I have been lazy with my writing recently TBH. And yeah it was hard lol - I just ended up sounding like Grace herself hahaha. :) (moving on...!)
