Well he was seen in the advert for the fire pit on Feb 25th so unless that was filmed a month earlier then he hasn't been gone 4 months. Clearly she's just trying to make the gap between getting rid of socks and getting the new more aesthetically pleasing dog seem bigger than it is.
lets say sox got rehomed mid Feb, it’s now mid May so he’s been gone 3 months. But… penny was shipped mid April? (per the breeders Insta). So that’s only 2 months between Sox gone and arrival of Penny. Then consider she probably entered into the purchase of penny well before that? So it’s quite likely she starting hunting for new replacement as Sox was departing.
influencers rely on parasocial relationships- ie the influencer nurtures a (one way) friendship, the ‘followers‘ believe that they intimately aquainted with you. Because you are *friends* and they trust you, they want to go out and buy dry mops and wrought iron beds and Kmart pants. They even tell you how wonderful you are for the suggestion! But on the other hand, when you do something that doesn’t ring true to what they (think) they know about you, your follower feels acquainted enough to let you know (sometimes kindly, so,e times bluntly, just like real friendships!). If they are silenced on your own page, then they will seek out somewhere to discuss the experience, especially if there is an erosion the trust and friendship that you nurtured with your parasocial posting in the first place .

Go-
I kept my dog and didn't rehome him.
Don’t pimp my children out…

it’s more energy efficient or something.
she whips around with her dry mop every day and saves electricity by not hoovering
the cubby (sorry tree house) is basically a tiny home, so massive potential savings if they lived there instead of the barn.
they could have let the rabbits keep the lawn short, instead of the ghastly petrol guzzling ride in mower, so points off there.
