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

This week’s H & S Feed & Country Store Pet of the Week is “Copper”, a 2 year old hound mix. He’s a big boy, weighing in at around 80 pounds, but he’s a friendly fellow who gets along great with people, kids and other dogs. He’s a little shy at first, but will warm up to you quickly. Unlike most hounds, he’s a pretty quiet guy, and doesn’t bark often. Copper is vaccinated and is looking for his forever home, and would love to meet you!

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

Trisha Yearwood Hasn’t Gotten Her Sense Of Taste Or Smell Back After COVID

Trisha Yearwood recently battled COVID, and while she has recovered, she reveals on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” that she still hasn’t regained her sense of taste or smell.

The revelation came when Kelly complimented Trisha on her figure, with Trisha noting that eating has changed because of the condition. “It’s been about eight weeks,” she says, noting eating is “so much about taste and smell and if you can’t smell you don’t really [crave food]. I can tell if something’s spicy that’s about it… lots of hot sauce!”

Trisha, who hosts her own Food Network cooking show, “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” adds, “Now when I cook, I just ask Garth, ‘tell me if it needs more salt and pepper. It’s the weirdest thing.”

Miranda Lambert Breaks Down In Tears At First Concert Since Lockdowns

“First show back in over a year. I missed y’all so much,” she told the crowd, which helped her by singing some of the song for her.

“No matter what I’ve ever done in my career and what I’m still gonna do, somehow I still feel most at home on a barstool under a neon sign,” Miranda shared. “I walked in here and I took a little tour around, and I just felt so at home. I remembered why I do this and why I missed y’all’s faces so much.”

Miranda returns to Billy Bobs May 1st and 2nd.
