I agree with everyone. What a shame. Poor dog.
Someone might have said this already - might she be named after Laurie Penny?!

She believes she will be a good dog owner.
She also believes she's an economist. She believes she has a great vocabulary. She believes she's a good cook. And she believes the reason she doesn't have her own TV show is because she's 'too coarse and tattooed'.
So I'm sure it will be fine.

That is such a good point.Btw I’m half expecting Jack to come up with some story about Laurie being a tragic stray just like Jack blegh blegh blegh, bet she’s wishing she hadn’t posted that May puppy picture nowas we all know squigs have the memory span of a peanut though so it won’t matter to them.
She can't pretend it was a rescue puppy can she, not in a crate with siblings? Obviously she paid at least 1k for her.
Maybe the no lodgers BS came about after Jack asked for a dog and was told no. Perhaps relations with the LL are so bad, Jack just thought 'duck it' and went ahead with the dog anyway. I wonder how that relates to the tree. The tree might have been a coded public moan/humiliation of the LL after she said no to something else or the dog.
She's being cagey about the breed because she's bought a designer puppy and knows spending ££££ on a new dog isn't a great look for a person supposedly on the bones of their arse. Bet she wouldn't even entertain the idea of adopting a mongrel from a rescue centre.
Anyway, a couple of sane squigs amongst all the fawning. And one who refuses to open their eyes

And another thing bleep features, tell the truth about Dash once and for all. I would love the squigs to start asking about Dash and how Laurie will get on with him. Unfortunately rabbits seem to get forgotten a lot 
You can come join JC-pup, moss is her favourite snack
I thought Jack was off to the Glastonbury festival? Aren't you meant to stay with your dog for the first week of so?
She fucked off and left Mini for an entire day the day after she got her (sorry, "started to mind her"
) so I honestly don't think she gives a tit.(I know puppies require a lot more supervision etc than cats, but all animals are just bit players on the stage of Jack)
Yup. My friend brought her greyhound in for a drink of water on a hot day once. My cat shot up the chimney and didn't come down for hours. The same cat almost clawed another dog's eye when she ambushed him in the garden. There will be tears. I wouldn't be surprised if the poor old cat is moved on. And then the dog.
Blimey could green squig be anymore wet behind the ears.

I'm sure Jack has either cancelled glasto or has a trusted adult to house sit in her own home (not carting pup around to an unfamiliar place)
.
Yep. We got our latest dog a month ago, he’s sixteen months old and due to his history he’s not had much training, but he’s not a puppy with all that entails and we haven’t had a single moment of regret over getting him. We had our last dog from a puppy and I remember getting the puppy blues hard with her. I can honestly say I consider myself a fairly experienced dog owner and I’d never have another puppy.
guaranteed, the first the landlady heard of this dog was when she was brought home this afternoon and saw her from her spying spot
From a 2020 kitten post - just the first sentence, but my phone won't crop any smaller:
The script has not changed. Last year's dayhab was a total waste of money.

I can't believe she bought a dog.
I got a puppy last year. Never had a dog before, went for an 'easy' breed, read the entire internet, spoke to breeders, joined forums. Thought I knew what I was getting into. The reality hit me like a tonne of bricks. Cried at some point every day for weeks.
How is she going to deal with training, walking, socialising etc with her 100 hour working weeks? (unless the 100 hr weeks are a lie)
How is she going to afford vaccinations, neutering, food, insurance, toys, grooming, equipment etc etc when she can only afford to spend £20 a week on shopping? (unless the £20 is a lie)
How's she going to wrangle a puppy/dog who pulls on the lead - because they all do to begin with at least (mine still does after a year) - with crippling arthritis? (unless the crippling arthritis is a lie)
I can't believe she brought it home on the bus. Poor thing must have been utterly overwhelmed. Not calm & chilled, overwhelmed and shut down.
I just can't believe she bought a bleeping dog.

We are the only people in our village who didn’t get a dog over lockdown. There are hundreds of the things - lots of curly doodles that run absolutely wild.
we are carefully considering whether to get one now we have decided no more babies. It’s a massive tie, a huge decision. I feel like she just rocked up on gumtree the other day and spend a grand on dog stuff to make herself feel better.

Is he Mr Blue?
Or was it a last min purchase to cope with the
? Is that allowed?
We will hear that everything is hunky dory until Laurie suddenly has to go for ~reasons~. She won’t to admit anything. Just like she isn’t admitting to buying an expensive, fashionable breed.
As a bit of light relief from the Dog Situation, here's Jack's suggestion for RSM's food: stuffing loaf thingy.
That'd be ferociously accurate, laser sharp, food writer Jack Monroe.
