Untidy dog and office-gate

When I go on TV to talk about something I care about passionately there is just the one blog reader who can always be relied on to give me their own personal version of grief.
Not about what I say, though. Could quite understand that. Free speech and all that.
But no, it's usually trivia.
Last time I was on GMTV, it was my weight that came in for the evils.
This time, a very brief Sky News appearance, it's poor old Oscar's grooming and the untidyness of the Dogs Today office that have come in for much scorn. For some reason I let him/her get away with this one...

"Saw your interviewon Sky News, not sure which worse the messy office or the Beardie that look like it needed good groom."

But I drew the line at this one... until now....

 " 'beardies are a lot of work and not everyone has time to keep them properly groomed.' so where is the line between neglect and not being properly groomed?  I have often seen the dog used as a "prop" in interviews and photos and would have to admit compared to the clean and well groomed dogs I have seen in the show ring, it does seem that the "evils of the show ring" message Dogs Today keeps on peddling which may have better life"

and this delightfully worded one came in after I rejected the one above....

"In the pink re you view on office shambles....not being able to organise a cocktail party in an oflicence or a similar one regarding brewery comes to mind,  the author of this blog  criticised the person who edited the report and yet they too are not the most efficient editor as their track record of shambolic slip ups have shown in the past so working in a mess is reflection of their own lack of ability  and to comment on such is fair thing to do "

For those who blinked and missed it, here are some stills so you can make up your mind whether we need the RSPCA around or indeed Aggie and whatever the other one's name is and the bleach!

Close-up: Look at the overflowing intray - yikes! Imagine having something else to do apart from write stupid comments on people's blogs!

Look at all that Lego behind that hideously neglected Bearded Collie. Surprised we've not had any negative posts about that! (How's the dusting by the way?)

Again, this is obviously a very stressed dog, look at the suffering. Who'd think Oscar was groomed by a former International Dog Groomer of the Year and KC member! And look, that's a hideously coloured bowl!

Okay- I admit it, I didn't really want these boxes in the shot - cameraman said he's shot around them and that to take them away would be 'bland'! It was snowing and I didn't want to put them in our store room as someone would have to walk through the drifts every time someone ordered a binder. Plus the dogs obviously normally live in these cardboard boxes until they are required for another photo opportunity!

And yes my desk is a tip. Could come up with loads of excuses, but fact is I didn't have time to tidy up and the office cleaner hadn't been able to get through because of the snow. I admit it, I am a subscriber to the volcano desk management system. If it's not important it gradually reaches the edge of the desk and falls off! And look at the empty glass - it's never half full is it!

In future I will be banning trivial anonymous personal comments as they really are a waste of everyone's time! After all, I could have had the Mr Sheen out and the comb in the time it took me to write this!
