Sheila Says: Poor Miss Columbia

It was a wild night at the Miss Universe Pageant that has everyone talking this morning. Host Steve Harvey mistakenly read the first runner up as the winner. Miss Columbia had thought she’d won, walked down the stage with the crown and sash that said Miss Universe.  Steve came back onstage to say she wasn’t the winner, Miss Philippines was the real winner. As an announcer, I understand how easy it is to glance down and ready something wrong.  I know Steve Harvey didn’t mean to do that and probably feels extremely bad.  Miss Columbia handled it with grace.

Sheila’s Pet Of The Week: Elenor

Elenor is about 15 pounds. She is the size of a corgi with short little legs and a longer body, but as you can see, her color looks like a German Shepherd.  Whatever mix she may be, she’s adorable and sweet. Her little tail wags constantly to let you know she’s happy to see you. She’d be the perfect companion for kids all the way up to the elderly. Elenor isn’t too frisky. She’s calm and just wants loving. Adopt her today from the Cookeville/Putnam Co. Animal Shelter.
