Hi gang — it’s me,
Actual Caroline 😂
I owe you an apology.
There are now like 700,000 of you in this little corner of the internet — my beloved Lovemud weirdos 💜🐾
And I really want to help more of you, reply to more of you, and keep this the friendliest, floofiest place online.
But between
⚽️ parenting a soon-to-be football superstar
💻 running a business
🐾 cuddling floofs
🪴 and trying (and failing) to keep my plants alive…
I thought:
“Let me be a tech queen and set up fancy automations to help!”
Turns out: quite a lot went wrong 😬🤖
• One lovely human had a full-blown chat with my bot all day — at one point calling it bootalicious and the bot replied “thank you for the compliment” like it was auditioning for Love Island.
(You know who you are, Michelle 😂)
• Another poor soul received my free brushing seminar and reacted so dramatically she reported me and took the time to announce she was unfollowing.
I cried for 3.5 seconds. Then ate a biscuit.
Honestly, you’d think I’d kicked her Labrador and run off with her husband.
(To confirm: Labrador untouched. Husband un-stolen. She’s probably been grooming for 84 years.)
So if you received a random message (or twelve) from me this week — I’m so sorry 😂🙏
I promise I wasn’t trying to aggressively educate you.
The relevant new bots have now been switched off.
Peace restored. Kettle still on.
I will now return to my natural state:
🧼 washing floofs
✂️ trimming bum fluffs
🎙️ dog voiceovers
🛋️ lying slug-shaped under a blanket
💻 replying when I can
One day I will be a tech queen.
Today is not that day.
Honestly, Maxie might handle my inbox better — should we hire a nine-year-old admin king instead?
Strong possibility 👑
If Lovemud was slick, it just wouldn’t be me 🤷♀️💜
We learn, we grow, we switch things off, we have a cuppa & a Crunchie, and we sniff a floof’s popcorn paws.
Thanks for loving me & my chaos 💜🐾
Actual Caroline xx
