 Good morning guys and welcome to a new vlog, my new doggy here, oh, oh, my hair's looking crazy because I just woke up but I want to kind of talk about like dogs and stuff but that'll be later in the video. First off I want to open um my Fabletics package because I want to take those photos this morning. I am going to cycle more this morning I don't care if I'm a dog or not because like I haven't been I'm paying for it and I kind of just like want to get some exercise. I have started clinicals as I've said previously in the other video but guys it is so exhausting like physically and mentally because you're dead standing for like well I mean until whoever it comes to relieve you for break or lunch because there's like a patient on the table and you're helping the surgeon and learning from the preceptor and stuff it's just so it's just a lot um but I'm gonna make it cycle bar even if my legs do feel sore. I have been wearing compression socks but like you know how it is like it still hurts. Oh we rocking the pink today so I low key hope the dog doesn't poop because I took her out again this morning Valerie took her out and then I took her out and she just peed um she peed like twice so I'm like okay she's gonna need a poop someday. So we have this fun oh this is so cute I actually might wear this to cycle bar this morning because I love the style and the color is so summery so fun. Oh I gotta go take out the dog. All right y'all update she pooped I know you guys were so concerned. Okay so we already saw the bottoms but this is the top look at how freaking cute this is the back is so adorable. I'm probably gonna wear this today I'm gonna put it on and take some pictures. I want my dog to be in the pictures so hopefully she'll cooperate. So this is the outfit it's so adorable. I hate having well I like my boobs don't get me wrong but like since they poke out like it makes this a little loose so I have to like pull and tuck if you know what I mean but I think it's adorable it is pretty basic in the back but I love the bra back looks like this and yes I'm gonna go take some photos with my doggy with my dog. Hopefully we'll get some good shots. Oh I need to fix like this that's kind of sloppy but anyway let's go create some content. I'm gonna actually go around our house into the alleyway I think that'll be cute. Will you cooperate? Will you cooperate? Yes she's not a lot on my bed because like again like I feel like I get rashes and stuff so I typically don't let her in my room I just shut the door but yeah I she cannot go in my bed and then dog fur will be everywhere not okay. I'm gonna go take the pictures now and hopefully we get something good and now I'm headed to cycle bar finally something normal in my routine I'm actually thrilled just because I haven't gotten to go in a hot minute and do my legs still hurt from like standing all the time the past week yes but I'll probably like put like little to no gear on well for the hills I'll put gear on but like it's just one of those things that my calf muscles are just so sore and I am tired but it's one of those things it's like I go and have fun and like just release all the stress and stuff so I don't know I kind of use cycle bar as a therapy as well I don't know why I'm doing it because like my body is just like uh but I want to go it's hard to explain but anyway I'm headed there and I will get some clips for you guys and then I think I'm gonna take Piper downtown because we need to get her like a retractable leash she loves to run but I can't like take her off the leash because she might get hit by a car you know like in our front yard area like the park so I can't take her off but like I want her to go it be able to run around so I'll get one of those like retractable leashes and then um we might go to the dog park sometime today as well so that's the game plan okay so I ended up getting my mom a little tall coffee I have my since mother was so kind enough to buy this I got a venti I'm not really going to Starbucks a lot anymore during the week because it's just like kind of expensive and since I have a dog I need to cut costs so Starbucks was one to go um so I'm just drinking all the coffee I've missed during this entire week I'm just gonna set this in between the legs and then this is oh I'm attached to the cord this is the bacon guillere sandwich for Sherry all right so Piper was destructive because I left for cycle bar but Sherry we washed her hair she cleaned up anything you want to say no thank you thank you to Alex for helping me get all all gussied up this morning doesn't look too gussied but you know it is the best we could do yes update on the knee yeah here's the knee it's a lot less swollen though it is yeah four mother oh and I also did a Starbucks run as you guys saw earlier yes thank you for that also Starbucks at a Starbucks sandwich for a little snack and my americano it's been a while since you've seen this meal but I'm having my salad with turkey I swear I eat this like almost every night for dinner because it's just like easy and fast so yeah and peanuts of course we are now on our way to run those errands she'll have some fun at the dog park as well but first up is Wolfgang also to today I guess when I left her cycle bar um she cried and then like started getting into the trash poor thing has separation anxiety I feel so bad like I said earlier like I cannot live my life like around the dog you know what I mean like I gotta do other things so yep I think though next time I'll leave her with something to work on like uh one of those Kong like things that you put like something in like a treat so she'll have to work on that or something like that she was a little naughty girl we're going to Wolfgang we are here for this I'll probably end up getting the black one I don't know we'll see all right so we ended up getting this uh nice retractable leash and so far so good I mean I just got the small one because she's kind of small so okay so we're on our way back from the park Piper had a great time um I don't really like to vlog a lot at the park because I feel comfortable vlogging the dogs but there's a lot of like adults like that are older they're not like my age so I don't want to film them because I don't think they would want that and they all like talk and they talk to me and everything which is cool like they're all really nice but like I don't want to have to explain like hey I vlog and stuff so this is why I'm filming it was it's interesting too it's like really nice that the owners like talk and stuff because like our dogs get along but also too like I low key want to just be on instagram or tiktok but because they're talking to me obviously I don't want to be rude so yeah I don't know it's one of those things that like it's just the culture of it I guess so I actually talk to people which is crazy but everyone's nice and cool uh no matter how old they are they're all like fine but still I don't know it's just kind of weird it's just a new thing for me um getting equipped to talking to kind of strangers uh in a sense but overall it's all good I'm gonna get home if my uncle's still around I'm not gonna like vlog in my room but the next part I kind of want to talk about like the pros and cons and like everything so far that I've learned and like answer the question like do I regret getting a dog because I think that would be a fun thing to talk about um but yeah almost home she is tired she's panting up a storm part of the noise sherry is over there watching her television um but tonight is well my parents are having it tomorrow night but I'm having it tonight the hot dog meal so I'm just having these hot dogs and some green beans with some chip and dip the dip is still in the refrigerator I'm not gonna get it out until I'm like gonna eat it because I don't want it to get like warm because it's gross but yeah I just thought I would show you guys it's been a while since I've had this little meal but yeah and it's one I could actually cook okay so I wanted Piper to be in this clip but she isn't because she's running around it's like seven in the morning but I wanted to talk about like the pros and cons of having a dog when you've like never had one and I'm saying a dog I'm not saying puppy because I can't speak unlike puppy experience because she's not a puppy she's two years old as you guys know I've been wanting a dog for a while maybe you haven't known that but I've been wanting a dog and basically I came across her photo on Facebook someone wanted to re-home her they lived in st cloud which is super convenient because as you guys know I live in celebration so it's only like a 45 minute drive with like traffic and stuff so she was beautiful and I don't know she just like I looked at her and I was like she's meant to be my dog so I messaged her we met Piper her previous name was Perla but I changed her name because like now she's my dog like I feel like I have the right to do that and um like they were giving her away so there she is there's my girl anyway I saw her I knew she was meant to be mine and then we met her and then after that we set a date they wanted her to get spayed and everything so basically we paid for that and then we picked her up there was like some confusion on like when to get her but it worked out in the end and she's a really good dog that's kind of like the story on how I got her she was free was she from a breeder yes but she was the mom of the litters they didn't charge me for her and they were looking for a home for her so honestly I did I consider adopting instead of shopping okay so I had to play with the dog for a little bit because she wanted to play anyway let's get into the pros and cons of having a dog when you've never had one before so let's start off with the pros so the pros she's gorgeous I think if you get a dog that you're absolutely in love with like the look of them and she likes to sniff my crotch if you like a dog and you like absolutely are just obsessed with the way they look and they have a good personality then it's a good thing when you're out in public and you have a dog and people like want to pet them that's like the best feeling okay I wanted her in this video so I guess this is kind of good she is hyper in the mornings as you can see another positive is she was already trained like she was already crate trained potty trained she was already trained which is the biggest positive so I didn't really have to do any of that another positive is she can play well with other dogs and so that means I can take her to parks and meet new people I did want to use a dog to like meet new people and like just make new friends and like just expand like I don't know my social circle a little bit even though at the dog park there's more like older people not really people my age I'm sure that like in the future like there will be dogs with owners about my age or a little older and stuff but yeah like it's a really good way to meet new people in your neighborhood close by just like network because you can have something to talk about um that's definitely a positive another positive in my opinion is that she wasn't a puppy like I touched on before she was already trained and stuff so she didn't take like a lot of time to like train or teach because she's kind of does her own thing it is good for when like you feel lonely because you have an animal and they just like love on you and stuff so that's good but also too I like my alone time and sometimes I'm just like okay if I were like go away you know what I mean so um it just kind of depends but it does help you always have like a little companion by you and they're like always happy to see you which is great so I guess like psychologically it's good for you in a sense another positive too surprisingly she doesn't bark too much she barks at men most of the time or people like that come by her house which is kind of normal because she's a dog but other than that she doesn't really bark a lot okay if I think of any more positives I will mention them but let's get into the negatives and like things that you should be aware of before you get a dog so the first negative is you will have to kind of like rearrange your schedule and like fit her in so like in the mornings she will obviously need to go to the bathroom so you have to take out the dog and then she will pee but like she poops on her own time and I really need to get better with this like feeding her to specific time so she poops at a specific time but it just hasn't really worked out so she like goes pee in the morning and then Valerie takes her out a second time and then she poops just I guess so she could work out in her system like get her bowel moving a little bit more but I just am so used to seeing owners like take their dogs out and they go pee and poop and then they can just bring them back in well this dog like she has to take forever and it's just like I don't have all the time in the world to be doing this you know that's like kind of a negative another negative too that I don't know because she came from a previous household like we set out food and she doesn't eat at all I'm used to or at least I see like other people they put out the food for the morning like the breakfast and then the dog will eat it all and then they'll take a few sips of water and they'll be good and then at dinner time they'll get their dinner they'll eat it and then they'll drink some water and then go she like we just have to keep adding when we see the bottom of the bowl like we just add like a scoop or two um like a little scoop in her bowl and then she has like a few bites and then like goes away so like I'm over here like hello the entire bowl so then you have dinner I don't know why she does that but it's fine oh another thing I wanted to mention like a positive knock on wood this is fake wood but knock on wood she has not went to the bathroom in her crate because again she's crate trained I am so thankful for that because yeah it would just be like horrible if she went to the bathroom in there she sheds a lot and again that goes with the breed but like I absolutely love this breed and I don't mind cleaning but another con is that you have to clean a lot um like sweep and then run like the Swiffer thing so she's an animal and obviously animals are going to be destructive so she's done a few destructive things already but she's getting better at it because we got her even more toys yeah she like chewed the foot of my mom's piano which is so bad but again she's an animal like things will happen another con would be like bathing so I know this goes with like all dogs but like it is so hard to bathe her um myself so that's why I'm just gonna take her to the groomers and have them do it because I can't be doing this like I think you saw on my my first vlog um the previous people like put some something on her that smelled in my opinion like so bad like I could not stand the smell it's like probably like baby powder or something but I just couldn't stand the smell and that was just my personal opinion so I had to bathe her to get whatever that was out so it was just like super hard bathing her because she wouldn't stay still also too because she needs to be groomed again this is just the breed so I don't know it could go for any dog but she needs to be like brushed every other day like today is a brushing day it's so like I thought she would be used to people brushing her because like she is this breed and they're like oh yeah like you have to brush her every other day so I'm like okay so I'm thinking this dog is used to it she would like be a good dog you know but no like it's like going to war it's like going to war with this dog to just brush her so it's like kind of difficult but I think I'm gonna try to give her a treat so she's like distracted on something overall though like it's definitely a new experience that I think it does teach you a lot she's a really good dog I got very lucky another con would definitely be um that I get hives that I get hives when I'm around her like when I pet her so I have to take a legra which is not the most fun thing that I have to do but like I do love her and stuff so I will just do what I need to do to not get hives when I'm around her she's just being so hyper today another thing too is like I know this breed is hyper but like when I first met her she wasn't as no she wasn't as hyper but like she could be like really really hyper and playful which is good but I thought I was like getting an older dog so I thought she was gonna be a little bit more calm but it's fine I like my mom was saying basically to wrap up this video because I know it's like already kind of long I like having a dog but I don't like everything that comes with being a dog like comes with a dog like having to feed her how do we need to take her out having to like pay attention to make sure she doesn't like destroy stuff overall it's like fun but it's like it's just new so anything new you're just gonna have to get used to which I've already kind of gotten used to it but like I want to be able to like still go out with my friends another con I know this is all over the place dogs are freaking expensive yeah I don't know if I like spending this much money on an animal but it's fine again it's something new that I'll just have to get used to because it's a decision I made um but yeah like I had to cancel my hair appointment because yeah I can't be spending that much money on hair when I have a dog and no like great income coming in so if you watching this right here thank you so much you are the real MVP you are so amazing for giving me this opportunity to like make a little income from this so thank you so much basically going back to what my mom said she's like you like having a dog but like you don't like everything that comes with the dog which is true um I don't like really picking up at shit I don't like having to like get up I can't like right now I would still be in bed if I didn't have a dog and that's just like flat out yeah um my bank account will look a little bit better because I wouldn't have to pay for like all the stuff and all the accessories that come with a dog um basically yeah that I mean my mom's pretty much right final question that I like I'm gonna probably title this video like do I agree Greg getting a dog no but I think like this wasn't the best time to get a dog in all honesty but like when I saw her picture like I kind of just knew that she was meant to be with me and that she's like such a good dog I mean if you're gonna get a dog like it would definitely be Piper especially for my position and like what I'm going through right now and everything like I mean she's a great dog she's great with kids she's great with other dogs she's great with strangers um she will allow me to go places with her which is one of the main reasons why I wanted a dog to take them places so I could meet new people and socialize and you know have an animal that I love so I got the right dog but it wasn't the right time if you know what I mean just like my mom always says apparently my grandpa would always say this is that like there's never a right time there's never a right time to have a kid there's never a right time to like get a dog you just get thrown into it and you make it work which that's what I'm doing and I'm just learning that as I go so to answer the question it's kind of like an unanswered question but yeah um I know the videos have been like all over the place and not very consistent but like I touched on I think in a little bit earlier clip or whatever like clinicals and having this dog at the same time again not the best time like clinicals are physically and mentally like pretty demanding because like you're learning all this stuff like there's a patient on the table that's like under anesthesia and like getting cut open so I don't know it's just like a lot and I've just been so tired again with the dog like I have to get up earlier so I get up at like four four thirty and like I'm just like so tired but again it's a decision that I made and like I swear the second day I got the dog I was like why did I do this to myself like what the hell am I doing I kind of I did at that there was points that I did regret getting a dog and I'm like oh shit you know I don't want to do this but it is what it is and we're here now and we're starting to get into a routine so it's better it's rough no pun intended anyways don't forget to give this video a thumbs up subscribe if you want to and I'll see you guys in my next video bye
