Saturday night i was helped the rescue group that i am a part of with a transport they just got in. They got 15 puppies and a couple bigger dogs. I never felt so bad for these dogs before until i saw this transport. The puppies were dirty and they smelled extremely bad, like poop. We found out before they arrived with the puppies one didnt make it. Its really sad because they did everything they could to keep it alive, but it just couldnt fight it. We washed about 10 to 12 puppies. It was a huge learning experience for myself. They got 5 puppies that looked extremely sick. We tried feeding them and only one would eat. The rest just layed down and looked miserable. We had to give each puppy an iv to rehydrate them. We gave all the pups an antibiotic and a few other medicine that i cant remember. We got to name all the puppies that came over. There were two black lab pups that we named Scarlet and Butler. There were two brown pups that we named Bucky and Brandi. We also named these pups Horton and Ciara. The last 5 puppies we named Minnie, Mater, Riley, Tiki, and Rico. These were the pups needed to be seperated from one another because they are so sick. We found out today that one pup, Riley, didnt make through the night. It really sad when you are trying to do everything but they just cant pull through. I will never forget that day because i learned so much.

This weekend i am going to visit Platteville. I want to transfer to a different school next year. I would like to play softball somewhere, i cant play it at uw sheboygan of course because they do not have a team. I have three choices i would like to go. Uw Oshkosh is my first, Stevens Point is my second and Platteville is my third. I am leaning way more for oshkosh because its close to home and yet still kinda far away. I like living at home to a point but i just want to experience what all my friends are experiencing. I want to make more friends and i really want to play college softball and be apart of a team again. I loved my team last year in high school and i miss this sport so dearly right now as the season is coming up. I love my coach as well. I could not thank her enough for what she has taught me through out the four years i was apart of the team. Most people think softball is such an easy sport, trust me its really not. You have to be aware of everything mentally and physically. This game is all about mental work. You have to know tons of plays that you have to memorize, signs, and you have to just be on top of the ball, very alert. I thought i was never going to remember anything that my coach said but its just something you dont ever forget. You drill these things in your head, well at least i did. When i am competing in this sport its just different for me than other sports. Its a huge adrenaline rush and i get really pumped up and i just cant wait to smack the ball. I hate losing but i learn from more than anything. I love to compete.
