Yes matted hair can become very painful for dogs as the matted sections can pull the akin. If it gets really bad it will have to be shaved off. Their nails can also get caught in the matted bits when they scratch which again would be very painful and upsetting. A quick daily brush to remove loose hairs is needed with a more thorough groom every 2 weeks is needed I reckon?*

*Based on my own experience of owning spaniels. Under their ears matts quickly if you're not careful and checking regularly

It does sound as if they might have had a 'thing'?

I’ve seen worse but our dog has a similar coat and the only time he’s looked like that is when My partner went to work once forgetting his groomers appointment and she had no space til the next one. If he was younger and less bitey we’d have booked a random for a one off but at 14 and with his Alzheimery ways we decided in the long run just to wait it out rather than risk him savaging some poor stranger who doesn’t know him or his pain points.

So it’s not massive massive neglect from what we can see but she’s definitely not having it groomed as much as she should, and the dog would definitely benefit from it ifit had regular 6/8 week appointments.

I can't see it in the wiki so apologies if it's there but could we add a list of the blue tickers who have ever supported/platformed/praised her? They deserve being called out for their excellent due diligence.

There are the obvious ones like Nigella, Joanne Harris, Janey Godley, Ralf Little but I'm sure there are many, many more people who should be embarrassed.

Definitely not.


Christ I used to inject base.

snorted speed might decongest but there's rebound congestion when you use it repeatedly

Ah I didn’t know that, my partner is the experienced one with speed. I’m obviously only remembering half a story from him. Thanks for correcting. (Should’ve stuck to what I said earlier about me not mentioning it because I don’t know much).

Oh babe. Amphetamines are much cheaper and therefore ideal for the POORS #moneysavingtips

Not always cheaper...

Had to move house with very little notice about 15 years ago (thanks to a letting agent screw-up). Very busy at work all week, so had the bright idea of taking speed and pulling an all-nighter to get ready for the move.

By the time daybreak came, I had meticulously tidied the contents of my chest of drawers, washed and dried all my crockery/cutlery/glassware, neatly re-arranged my stationery supplies, sorted about a thousand CDs into alphabetically-ordered piles, highlighted various uninteresting numbers on six year's worth of gas and electricity bills, and filled a single box with a small but perfectly-tessellated selection of books.

I ended up having to pay the removals people an extra £600 to help me pack - which, to be fair, they made a much better job of than I ever could have.

pshhhhhhhhhh turns out I’m a good little Frau all my life I thought that coke and amphetamine are the same thing!?

They’re similar. Speed is like MD20/20 strong, gross, gets you wasted fast, massive comedown and bad head. Coke is like Champagne- bubbly, gets in your system fast, gets you pissed and if you stop after a glass or two, no harm done. Inevitably you drink too much, hit the cocktails and wake up feeling awful.

Another reminder to please catch up before posting links

If I have to see one more Sunday Woman link I'm going to yeet myself into the sea. Thanks all!

This reminds me of working in a restaurant with a right bastard of a chef. A customer would ask something like ‘Can I have that gluten free?’ & we’d ask through the hatch. Chef would shout something like ‘tell the cunt to fuck off and DIE’ and you’d have to turn around with a smile, both you and the customer having heard the entire thing and say, ‘I think that might be tricky but can I interest you in…’

Babe, same. Comedians fucking loved that stuff. Course thesedays, they’re all vegans and sober.

Off topic but as a fairly new Frau (here since AM) can someone point me towards the thread where Jack grated her spam? (Not a euphemism)

She grated her spam way back in the Daily Kitchen Live days - so probs thread 3 or 4. There’s links for the episodes of DKL in the wiki.

One thing that I don't understand which is a huge giveaway as to income is the whole filler/Botox thing. I'm a man who has no understanding of these things but I know they aren't cheap and need doing regularly so how can Jack afford those yet not shower gel?
