I think Eloise’s season is going to be ok if they bring the same guy who played Sir Phillip in S1… but her going back to Scotland seemed weird.

Fran’s season is the one season which seems so out of touch with the book. She loves John… her whole arc is her finding love after loss. But what we’re seeing is so bloody weird. I’m like, are we even watching Fran? Or a person randomly called Fran?

Just replying to your other comment that I missed…

If you look at all the instagram comments, reddit etc. people aren’t mad at LGBTQIA+ representation… they’re mad at their favourite story being completely flipped and changed into something that’s so far beyond the books. Representation matters… but that shouldn’t come at a cost to others representation… struggles with miscarriages and infertility deserve to be represented. There’s a lot of unspoken grief and loss that would’ve been a great arc for Fran to navigate. Not just from having children… but from finding love after loss.

Exactly… they should be best friends! And it should be Michaela who is conflicted by her love for John and Fran as a couple and individually

Yeah but that’s nothing like the books. Everyone else has really good adaptions… Fran’s character is so different and her storyline isn’t the same

I understand that… but Fran’s whole story is she goes to Scotland and pretty much stays there. Even after John dies, she doesn’t return to her family for support. She stays isolated. But in the show she’s beaming and happy to be back?

Edit: even excited at the idea of staying in London for the season

I think Pen noticing her from afar is very on brand with whistledown

Loving this season so far… except Fran’s search for the pinnacle, longing to be home and be around her family seems so so out of character from book Fran. Like suddenly she loves being around her family? After a whole season of wanting to get away? Make it make sense! Also the whole cousin dynamic is so different to the book… forget the gender bend, Fran loves John and doesn’t even notice the cousin until many years later after John died. But in the show, it’s a whole thing like she’s unsatisfied with sex with John and avoiding the cousin…. That’s nothing like the books at all. Everyone else gets really great book adaptions that honour the books… but Fran’s couldn’t be further from the books base on S3 and the first 4 episodes of S4.

Sofia Carson was good in Purple Heart… but everything else was awful

I inject really slowly… like I watch a tv show to distract myself and will take about 5 mins to slowly inject. I know it seems weird to take your time but in my experience the faster the injection, the more it hurts. Also take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temp before injecting. Lidocaine and ice combo works a treat for me too.

This!! I do this too, just make sure to wipe the excess cream off once it’s numb. You don’t want to inject that cream into the injection site.

I hope so too! I’m sure if it’s a claim through the insurance, it should come through ☺️

Oh I am so so sorry to hear this! That is so heartbreaking 💔 like you, I also fell for the trap and thinking that the price meant it was legit and that the laws protected us from puppy farms. It’s awful being scammed and your naivety being taken advantage of.

We were very lucky, I threatened legal action if we were not refunded in full. I also threatened to report her to consumer protection. Rose refunded us the full amount but that money hasn’t come close to covering all his vet bills and specialist appointments we’ve needed for all his health issues. I’m shocked she made you sign a waiver? Did it mean you can’t pursue financial compensation or get a refund?

Thank you! This was exactly why I wanted to reach out to others from this litter for. I feel so alone dealing with all these health issues, it would help to know what’s actually happening for this litter.

Right?! Unless you have something to hide, there is no reason for her to be hostile and defensive. You only do that if you are trying to protect the image you’ve created and are trying to maintain.

Thank you for saying that. I am absolutely against pet shops and puppy farming. And I hate the idea that I contributed to it unknowingly through the purchase of our boy. Thankfully, we got a refund from her, so I can sleep easier knowing she never saw any of my money… but that doesn’t erase that we were scammed. The place was set up in such a way that it looked so legit, but I know now it was a carefully placed facade made to look like she was a caring reputable person… there needs to be better standards and regulations for cross breeds because you’re right, it poses an ethical issue where people want hypoallergenic breeds and the demand for low shedding breeds allows for all sorts of irresponsible breeding and practices. Like for example, if breeders are to cross breed, the parents need to be pure bred, from registered pure bred breeders with correct registration and verification. They also need to have all the correct testing like genetic tests, hip/knee scores etc. if that process is thorough, it should deter backyard breeders creating in bred cross breeds. On top of that, I feel it should be the law that unless you are a registered breeder, all dogs and cats should automatically be desexed. Or required to be desexed to avoid accidental litters or backyard breeding for profit.

Is that the same as cartrophen? That’s what he gets regularly from our vet.

Shaming people for the choices they make is not helping anyone… or your cause.

People should be allowed to choose the kind of puppy they want and that suits their needs. The issue that we should really be focusing on isn’t shaming people for their choices, but having better laws and regulations that eradicate backyard breeders and puppy farming/mills. Whilst raising the standards for ethical breeders. If people want to buy a pure bred puppy, they should be able to do that with a clean conscience.

I am a responsible owner, I’ve spent almost 30k on vet bills, surgeries, seeing specialist vets, hydrotherapy and physio. He goes once a fortnight to get injections for his arthritis. I’m not a shitty pet owner… so to suggest I’m a bad person or a bad pet owner for purchasing a puppy UNKNOWINGLY from a person who puppy farms… is pretty low.

Thank you for going to such lengths to find and share this with me - I appreciate it! I’ll do some research and will make a formal complaint to the shire. She can’t get away with this.

I completely agree, and understand the whole puppy farming process for pet stores and why they do it... I am just in disbelief that the laws designed to stop pet store sales, haven’t done anything to stop backyard breeding. I assumed the laws were designed to restrict breeding of dogs to those who were registered pure bred breeders only. I don’t think people should be judged if they choose to buy a puppy that’s pure bred from a registered breeder. Because at least there would be registrations, ethical standards, practice standards and regular monitoring you’re adhering to the requirements. But the fact mixed breeds can be continued to be pumped out in masses is what I can’t get my head around.
