Do you think the land lady wanting to cut the eucalyptus tree down is a lie and Jack was going to do it in preparation for the dog arriving as she knows they can be toxic to dogs. Then she's got the dog early and hasn't chopped it down yet. I think it's all a little suspect, just like everything!

Are we supposed to believe the landlady is such a monster she will chop down a poor defenceless tree for no reason, but a marauding unhousebroken animal that will eat anything and her new puppy is fine?!?
 
It only seems a few days ago she was wanging on about her gammy hand and needed to go to A&E due to the pain. Or am I going mad? It was only a few days ago no? How the hell has she now managed to carry the puppy around all day? What will she do when it gets bigger and pulls on her lead?
I’m sorry this woman makes my blood boil. Only got £34 in the bank but can afford a puppy? After the saga with the poor kitten she is the last person to have a dog 😔
 
I saw her tweet earlier and have skipped ahead to say. WOW.
My longterm partner (only mentioning that because there's no newness, break up upset etc....single people can do this too!) and I have two nearly one year old pups.
Partner works from home.
I work in a way I can be home to help through the day when needed.
We are experienced dog owners.
We still laugh and say wtf did we do, every night.
Its hard work and tbf would probably be harder with just one dog because they aren't in my partners office so have the run downstairs and entertain themelves under the watchful puppy cam...one pup needs ALLL the attention.
Any puppy needs walks, socialising, training, consistency....the ability to LOVE unconditionally and not get fucked off when they piss on your new pair of Converse or bark at next door mowing their lawn.
I cannot believe she's got a dog. I can. I'm so angry so has be enabled to get a dog.

Sorry. Sure every other dog parent has said the same!
 
Jack and SB have the same boots...or is he wearing his ma's boots...or is she wearing his boots? Slightttly odd either way 😬 Not sure most pre-teen boys want to twin with their Mammy. Anyways, she's going to get so snippy when people keep giving puppy advice everytime she uploads pics of her hazardous habitat so, that'll be fun.

She sounds like she’s taking the piss out of cat and the dog in that video and sounds so very childish.

Now even if she wasn’t a twit and we weren’t in a major cost of living crisis and she was a good owner (I know but just suspend disbelief for a second) how on earth is getting a dog with an expensive initial outlay and monthly costs helping her in anyway shape or form towards her goal of getting her own house which she’s been banging on about for years.

I'm minded to think her logic flies somewhere along the lines of ... I have a cat, a dog and an SB now plus they took my tree away so you must give me my house!!!

After watching that video, I finally know what she was prattling on about when she said "a voice of clipped velvet with a laugh never far behind".

Also...

*manic laughter*
*sniff*
*more manic laughter*
"when you've thrown the ball can you pick up that plastic in the border*
*gale of laughter*

Before she asked her son to do it, she said “I’d better get that bit of plastic out the bedding”. Key word being “I”. She sees getting her son to pick something up, as herself picking it up.

I’m inferring that based on knowing how lazy and selfish she is. I bet she asks her son to do little things like that all the time.

It’s not. Jack has a huge disposable income and doesn’t give a tit about saving. She doesn’t ever want to stop renting because she thinks it gives her “working class” status. She doesn’t actually want a 🥺forever home🥺 for herself and her son, she just wants something to endlessly whine about for her grift.

She wants content, attention, and engagement through this puppy.
 
I really don't understand what she's planning to do with the dog when she goes galivanting around Cyprus for her Greek Cypriot cookbook that she's apparently just pitched to her publisher? Or the book festival in Edinburgh? If she's carrying the dog around all the time and never letting it out of her sight, she's signing up for separation anxiety.

I’m sorry but the thought of the dog spite shitting outside your door when you get it on has finished me 😂😂😂😂

You think the days of quick-while-the-babies-are-still-asleep are over, and then you get a dog, and it becomes quick-before-the-dog-shits. The indignity of it when the dog looks akin to a loaf of bread on legs.

Yes, I relate!
my OH (I still have one, Jack) often says ‘I can’t believe what I’m about to do in front of a dog’ but honestly the dog will not leave the room. He’s the gaffer in our house. At bedtime he will not go upstairs until we’ve both gone up before him. I swear if he could switch the lights off he would insist on doing that too.

Honestly I wonder if SB may be on the spectrum a bit. (And I honestly don't mean any harm by saying that) but none of us know really how close he is to his mother etc

Yes, not that it makes a button of difference but she has definitely breadcrumbed SB being autistic before. Was around the time she kept posting alleged quotes from him that wouldn't be typical for his age and DHOTYA were being tagged under every post. I just hate the thought of her forcing him to share everything with 'mama'. Like, leave him alone ffs
