MEET THE H & S FEED & COUNTRY STORE PET OF THE WEEK: “HENDRIK”

This week’s H & S Feed & Country Store Pet of the Week is “Hendrik”, a one year old Male Red Bone Coonhound. Hendrik is an energetic fellow with a great personality who loves attention, but is not fond of cats or other small animals. He’s very trainable, and walks better with a harness than on a collar. There’s also a $50 discount during the month of June for all dog adoptions at Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter.

If you’d like to set up an appointment to meet Hendrik or any of the pets at Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter, visit https://www.stephenmemorial.org/ and fill out an adoption application.

Kacey Musgraves Details Harrowing Flight That Made Her Feel Unsafe

Kacey Musgraves recently performed Primavera Sound 2022 in Barcelona, Spain and it sounds like she didn’t have the best time flying home. The singer took to social media to detail her terrible experience flying American Airlines, noting that the whole thing made her feel “unsafe.”

“Just ended my travels to/from my show in Spain on the most intense and honestly awful flight on @americanair,” she shared. “It’s extremely rare for me to want to come to a social media platform to complain about something like this. I know there are way bigger things going on in the world at the moment. But I truthfully just don’t want anyone else to have my experience.”

In addition to Wi-Fi that didn’t work, and a seat that didn’t recline, Kacey says the biggest issue was the “appalling and shockingly hostile behavior of a certain male employee (the flight’s chief purser),” noting that she and other passengers were “subject to his extremely overblown, unnecessary aggression and erratic behavior.”

Kacey says she plans to file a complaint with the airline, noting, “He made me feel unsafe and upset to the point of crying and I witnessed another passenger he also made cry,” adding, “The female flight attendants on board vocalized their own disbelief, and struggles with him as well.”

  • American Airlines says they’ve reached out to Kacey, and shared, “These comments concern us,” asking the singer contact them via direct message with Katy replying, “Yep. Check the DMs.”
