I completed my community service hours at the McConnell Center by playing with puppies, yes puppies. It is no secret that I am an avid animal lover. My furry little friends calm me down and help "de-stress" me better than any other activity. Most people don't consider playing with animals a form of service, but I do. The Kentucky Humane Society is an organization that requires numerous volunteers to be able to save and rescue hundreds of pets a week. Over the course of a semester I learned that no matter how stressed and crazy I think my life is I can find an hour of my day to help out some poor helpless animals. I also learned that taking care of another animal is not the easiest thing in the world. Puppies, like babies, and need constant attention, something I'm probably not ready to give though I always complain about how badly I want a puppy. I have continued to go back to the Humane Society during finals week for a little relaxation and I plan on continuing in the Fall!
