 back to another vlog. It's Tuesday morning and it's about 8 in the morning I think. I'm actually on my way to take Leila to a follow-up vet appointment. This is a follow-up appointment after her surgery when she had her teeth pulled about a month ago, weeks after her teeth got pulled, but I can't remember, I think I mentioned this, but because her liver levels were previously elevated before she was on like a liver detox medication, they wanted to give it four weeks to see if her liver levels have raised back up, like if she needs to be back on the medication type of thing, so that needed to be at four weeks and it's pretty far away from our house, so they just decided to book it at one appointment. So that's what we're doing this morning. I went on a hot girl walk, Leila and I went on a walk and now... All right Miss Wei was, let's check that liver, huh? This is always the most stressful part getting her out of the car because she has like mobility issues. She has bad legs, but she's 100 pounds so... This is always interesting. Good job. Okay, be back in a bit. Why don't you lay down? Are you hiding? That feels safer. Yeah. She's like, how do I scale this wall and get out of here? Wait, what is it? It's okay. One hour later. Well besties, I'm laughing so I don't cry because I would say you're not gonna believe this, but it's my life, so you probably will believe this. I just left the vet. Everything so far, like all the preliminary blood work is good, so it looks good. She's doing well with that. The only thing is that the vet came in and had a bunch of x-rays pulled up on her computer and they were her teeth x-rays, because keep in mind this was like a follow-up appointment for her teeth and the vet explained, I'm gonna give like a quick backstory. I don't want this to be too long, but like I'm sorry, this is just what's going on in my life currently, but when she got her original teeth surgery, the reason that she got her teeth pulled was because she had a tooth right here, like one of her back pullers that didn't look good. It looked like it was like rotten. Also, she had a couple bottom incisors that like weren't look, they were wonky and needed to come out and then she wanted to get her top incisors pulled because her top incisors, because of her underbite, are jabbing underneath where her tongue is. There's like holes there. So when we got the surgery done, if you remember, I started panicking because we got Layla home and all of her top incisors were still there and all of her bottom incisors had been pulled and I was just like, well, that wasn't the plan. So I was freaking out. I vlogged about it. I got on the phone with the vet. I was like, what's going on? And I didn't mention this in the vlog because I was kind of afraid that people thought I was like, I don't know, I'm, that's a whole other topic. I'm like, always afraid that I'm in the wrong and people are going to be like, Carrie, you know, you should, you're being a Karen or whatever. But when I was on the phone with the vet, I was like, hi, I'm calling because I'm really confused because the plan was she was going to get this tooth, all of these teeth and two of these teeth. And I got her home and she has all of her top teeth, but now all of her bottom teeth are gone. Like I'm confused, blah, blah, blah. And the vet was really like, interactive and defensive and quite dismissive of me when I called. And by the end of the phone conversation, we did get on the same page. And she kind of explained that like, sometimes when you get in there, things turn out differently than you expected. So I was like, totally fine. I was just very confused because what ended up happening was totally like, totally different from the plan. And I mentioned on the phone call, I'm just confused because her top incisors still jab into the bottom of her, her mouth. So what's up. And basically the vet was like, no, I wasn't worried about that when I got in there. And I was just kind of like, well, that was one of the main reasons why she was having this surgery in the first place. But sure, okay. So, okay, then I, you know, flash forward to today, she's all healed up, all of her bottom incisors have been gone for a while. And when we got into the room, she had x-rays pulled up on her laptop, like I mentioned. And she was like, so the top incisors need to come out. And I was like, pardon. She was like, yeah, here's the x-ray. She showed me like the roots and how the roots look good. But that, oh, well, I've noticed that they're jabbing into the bottom of her. And I was just like, yeah, that was the original plan. Like that was why, that was why we wanted to do this in the first place. And she was like, yeah, I would do it free of charge. She was like, I feel bad because now we need to go back in there and do it again. Well, hello. It's actually the next day. My camera died while I was in the car, which is honestly probably a good thing because I surprisingly have been very calm about this whole situation. But I was just like ranting. But anyways, not sure exactly where I left off with the story. But yeah, the vet told me that she wanted to do the surgery again. And I was like, yeah, she kind of barely survived the last one. So like that's not likely to happen. And I'm just so sad. I'm so sad for Layla. And, you know, when I initially in that blog a couple of weeks ago or like a month ago was like panicking and spiraling. It was because I thought that the vet had made a mistake. And she did. So that's, you know, people are human and they mess things up. But this is like, I had a feeling I just had a feeling in my gut. And I just feel kind of bummed because I'm just going to give it some time. I need to wait until tomorrow to get like her full blood work back. So then we'll see like how I feel about that. And I don't even know. It's like this poor dog. She can't get your break. And like it was supposed to be this one surgery. And then she was going to be done. And then she was going to be happy and not have to worry about it anymore. And now you mean to tell me she has to do it again because of your error? I'm sorry. Like people are going to disagree with me. I'm sure there are going to be that text, you know, that come from me in the comments. But I'm allowed to be upset. I'm allowed to be upset about this. I'm allowed to be pissed off. I'm allowed to feel disappointed that I paid, you know, thousands of dollars for this procedure to have it not even be done correctly. And more than the money, just that my dog went through such a hard time. I mean, I was sobbing. I was sobbing. I was laying on the floor with her for days. I slept downstairs on a mattress, like in the living room for like three nights. Anyways, I'm just trying not to let it bother me too much. But actually, the more I talk about it, the more upset I get about it. But I have maintained like a very calm level head. And I'm sure there are people that are going to be like, you should have said this and that. I literally was just in shock. Like in my gut, I knew that this was what was gonna happen. So anyways, I don't really want to go back to that vet to be honest, which sucks because everybody that I know who has taken their animals there has had like a great experience, but mine has been kind of lackluster. Anyway, all that aside, I'm doing my hair right now. I need to film a video. I'm wearing one of my cute new thrifted tops that I got when I went thrifting with Alexa. It was like one of my best thrifting trips ever. And I've just been trying to wear all this stuff, feeling very Y2K with my hair today. And I'm not mad about it. But yeah, I'm trying to maintain a sense of composure. This was not how I saw this vlog going. I thought it was going to be like a quick and easy check up. And well, it's my life. So I should have known that that was not going to be the case. Okay, let's do this. Wish me luck. And I will see you on the other side. OPS, when I was filming the last vlog, my reset vlog where I was watering my plants, I actually watered. I don't know if you can see it, but this big plant right here, this bad boy sitting on the couch, and it came out from its wall hook thingy, like from the ceiling. And it was anchored, so that was terrifying. So it's currently sitting on the couch until I can find a new spot for it. Oh, and don't mind the dust buster because I just had to clean up all of the dirt. Success. Just finished the video. I'm going to head downstairs and make some lunch. And I'm going to try a TikTok snack. Well, I shouldn't say try. I'm going to show you a TikTok snack that I've been eating this week. But first, we got to make some lunch. I'm probably just going to make my regular salad because I'm a creature of habit. OPS, I'm wearing my new little tank top. It's actually kind of the color of my skin right now, but it's from free people. It's like a tank top slash bra. So there's no like built-in bra or anything. It's just this, but it's so comfortable. And I've seen a few people that I follow on Instagram talking about free people recently and how like even plus-sized people who are like a 3x and 4x are wearing like a size extra large and free people. This was one of my little findings and I kind of love it. And I'm just going to like wear it with pajama pants for the rest of the day after I change. So I will link it down below, but let's see what we have for lunch today. I don't know if I have enough spring mix to make a salad, but we'll try. I do not have enough. Okay, let's think on our feet here. Oh, I do have some kale. We'll just like mix it all together. Sure. Here's the tea. I need a bigger one. Show this salad a million times. You have spring mix. Slash a little bit of kale. Get lots of good greens in there because why not? Then we are going to do all the crispy bits. If you've seen this a million times, I do sincerely apologize. We're going to do some hemp seeds. We are going to do some raisins. Raisins are a must, pistachios, the superior nut at the moment for me. I'm usually a cashews girl, but I'm in a pistachio phase right now. Some crispy onions because we've got to get it supremely crunchy even though they smell like absolute ash to me right now because of my porosmia, which is a shame, and then parmesan crisps. We already talked about this, but I just use these as croutons on my salad and things. I'm also going to heat up some of the Morningstar Farms veggie and other things. I have a bunch of different ones that I use, but these are easy because they're pre-cooked and I can just microwave them lucky. I could air fry them, but I don't have the patience to sit down here for 15 minutes. I'm trying to go a minute and then done. I'm just going to put a few of these on the plate and put them in the microwave to me. But the TikTok snack that I saw was raspberries and chocolate chips in the middle of them, and I don't have that many left, and actually I only have very few chocolate chips, so we'll work with what we have here. But basically you take a raspberry and then you stick a chocolate chip inside of it. That's literally it. And it's so freaking good. I don't even really love raspberries that much, like they're good, but it just really does something for me. It's just such like a cute little snack to eat at the end of my meal. I get like excited for it clearly because I've eaten almost this entire carton of raspberries. Like look at how cute these are. Freaking normal. Okay let's get my chicken nuggets going. These are vegan by the way, but I just like cut them into little pieces. There they go. Fascinating stuff here. Aren't you so glad you clicked on this video? Sometimes I'm like, should I stop vlogging? Like in general. Today I am having my typical Annie's goddess dressing. They also sell it at Trader Joe's. Not the Annie's brand, but like an exact dupe. It's very delicious. I'm gonna have a couple bites of watermelon because why not? And then of course you have to complete it with a spicy water. This is LaCroix. What flavors is? Berry. Very delicious. Highly recommend. Okay. I'm gonna go eat this. I'm gonna have like a couple bites of this because I eat it all day long. I'm gonna have a lunch break with Drew and then we will reconvene. Hello, it's actually a few days later. I am in my pajamas. My dog shirt, which is my favorite shirt of all time, but I just realized that I never ended this vlog. So thank you so much for being here, for hanging out with me while I do my usual every day boring routine. Making my favorite salad that you've watched me make a million times. And just thanks for supporting me even when I feel down about the vlogs that I make and just wondering if like it's even got a point to it. But I just love connecting with you all and sharing my life and hanging out. And I love watching vlogs. I love watching people live their kind of everyday life routine and have nothing exciting going on. So I hope that you feel the same way. And it's been a crazy week. We will talk about it in the next vlog, but life is gonna start getting pretty crazy besties. Oh, and here comes move just right on time. Everybody love seeing you. Anyway, Mu and I are gonna go hang out. So thanks for being here and we'll see you in the next vlog. Exciting stuff. Bye.
