In my quest to begin my career, I've spent some of my time volunteering for causes, people, and organizations. Currently, I'm spending a week at Rosasharn Farm outside of Providence, RI. This place has a heard of 45 goats, chickens, geese, and livestock dogs. They also had a pig named Wilbur, but he's now on our plates.
During the summer and fall months, Rosasharn offers a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to people interested in picking up a wide selection of vegetables every week. This CSA began last summer and was such a success that they decided to keep it up and even to build a greenhouse.
Today, Andora needed stitches. She's a Great Pyrénées livestock dog and she was attacked by another, more aggressive female livestock dog. I helped keep her paws up and out of the way while the vet cleaned, drained, and sutured the many puncture wounds across her body. That was my first experience with surgery and, while I empathized, I'm happy to say I felt relatively comfortable.
