DSPCA ..I miss you.

So for my work experience i went to the DSPCA.it was incredible.I miss it so much and my minds made up , thats what i will do when im older for sure!
The work they do is incredible and they dont even get funding from the government! they need 2 million euro each year to run the shelter and the get by , by fundraising but never reach the total mark.The money is only spent of food and supplies for each and every type of animal in the shelter.Cats ,dogs ,donkeys,pigs,peacocks,horses,ferrets,snakes and every other animal that was cruely treated or abandoned.
They will never say no to an animal in need of a home but right now they dont have money anymore.Personaly I think everyone should be donating to them.
The work experience programme is only for animals lovers who just want to spend time with animals.Dont go if you "just got" or where"offered" a place , unless you love animals, because i can say that you will not enjoy yourself if your not in it passionitly.
I on the other hand put my heart into the week and have agreed to volunteer in summer when i reach 16 :)
Im acctually really excited to be back there! Of course ,Naturally i got attached to every animal there, but I realised when leaving they are alot happier than animals out there alone in a cold place.
Anyways take trips there, they are open to schools,and everything else and if you are intrested in a dog, contact them and ask for "TAYLOR" my personal fav.Shes a cute boxer dog and it broke my heart leaving her.
I had a great time , and will deffinitly be going back!

"Misery" ( book name, thats all..)

okay so for english our  teacher asked us to blog about a book we read that we found good.
I read "Misery" by the great horror writer Steven King.
Its not for the faint hearted , because there are some  parts quite gruesome, but its a book you wont want to put down, or read in a dark place..
Basically A great writer called  Paul Sheldon gets in a car accident and wakes up in a strange womans house called Annie Wilkes.
Annie loves a group of books paul wrote about a woman called Misery , but when annie finds a manuscript in pauls bag , of his new book, which kills off Misery ,shes not happy.
Oh, and she also has a bad backround of murders and other crimes, so being in her house isnt great.
Paul learns over the time hes there to do as she says , or she will punish him...Alot.
Read it for your self , its a great book , but some of her punishments can get out of hand ( e.g "Hobbling" him when he tries to get away.
I love pauls caracter. Being paralized from the waist down , in the home of a crazy woman , he still doesnt take anything bad she says , even though he knows he will pay for it, he sticks up for himself as she compares him to a "trapped rat".
The book is written very well. The horror drags on , up to a battle between them both at the end that you wont see coming! Steven king has great detail and imagary in the book , that horribly makes you feel like your there.
Over time the book progresses into more horror and gruesome events , which keep readers ( like myself) glued to the pages to see will Paul survive? Will he kill annie even though he is powerless in a wheelchair?
The ending was Horribly amazing. Not a ending I had waited all the (aprox 400 pages) for , it was even better than what you begin to think as Annie takes charge of helpless paul , who just wants to get out of this cold shack up in the mountains , that he is sharing with a Crazy crazy woman.
Give it a read for yourself if your like me and love a bit of a scare when you reading :)

 Organsing  work isnt easy .We have contacted, emailed, & called so many places to get this far ( one out of two weeks needed!).We have to have certain things that they want us to have.Like for me i need an anti tetnus shot to protect me from dog bites etc.Luckily I had it done but i still need proof! thats going to be hard to find..
You need school insurance letters, written confirmation that they actually do have a place for you ,so on.At least I know that next week is sorted, now i just need to worry about the second week!
