Puppy Dogs
I spent my two weeks of work experience working at the local vet clinic. Being a farm girl I was pretty set on the idea of this whole saving the life of animals thing. Aside from foul jobs like washing out the cat and dog cages, I got to do some fun things, like walking the dogs every morning.

It did baffle me a bit, these dogs. They were fit and healthy, in my mind I did wonder why they were there with us.

Question quickly answered on the second last day. They were strays, with a limited time left and it was my job to assist in putting them to sleep. The harsh reality that sometimes it's not about saving lives, but deciding between two healthy animals who will live and who will die.

I went vegetarian for 6 years.

I now work in fashion (no FUR!!!)

Least it answered my career question though.
