I have been feeling off lately. I think I am going to chalk it up to pms. All of a sudden I will get really depressed and it only lasts 5 min .
On a brighter note I finally got volunteer hours at the clinic though so I start that on saturday and I am super excited. I think I can deal with the vet thing ok, even though there are parts I already hate. On friday, at the pig farm I am working on, we had to shoot a pig that had a broken leg because he was in terrible pain and couldnt walk or eat. I made myself watch when he was shot and it was horrible but I dealt with it better than I thought I would.
We also had 2 heifers (aka cows that shouldnt be having calves yet) that calved. The one heifer is ok and I am bottle feeding her calf to give him some strength. The other heifer threw her hips all out because she is too small so we tried for 3 days to get her to stand and save her but it didnt work and she was just in pain so they shot her today. I have vowed that my bottle fed calf is going to make it htough. I need to save at least 1 in 3 so I can maintain my sanity.
I am the biggest hick in the world but I like who I am so there.

yes it is the boy we sat outsied with having a ciggerette talking about him being a junky and moving back to town. he is doing better but needs tones of support, and i think i had to go threw everything i have thus far in my life to be there for him. but hes back in town and trying, and that is what matters.
