Congratulations to the Upper Cumberland Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation for winning the nation’s best Jake’s Day at Mustard Seed Ranch. This is the second year in a row they have won! Chris Peterson with NWTF came in on the morning show to talk about the award along with land conservation and their annual banquet happening Friday night at Jefferson Avenue Church of Christ.

Puddin’ is a 2 year old female schnauzer mix.  She’s a very happy, curious dog.  She loves to inspect the room around her and will always look you in the eyes when you talk to her. She has a very gentle personality. Puddin’ Pie (as I call her) would be a great pet for kids or someone that loves to cuddle. Once you hold her, Puddin’ doesn’t want to be put down. Adopt her from the Cookeville/Putnam Co. Animal Shelter. They are next to the Hyder Burks Pavilion on Gainesboro Grade.

This girl isn’t grown yet, so she’s full of spunk.  Olive is very playful. She also loves to sit on your shoulder like a parrot! She purrs and licks you, then wants down to play again. Adopt this sweet girl at the Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter off Gainesboro Grade, next to Hyder Burks.  Matthew from the shelter and Sheila having fun with Olive in the pics!

From Llama drama to dress color, that was trending yesterday and just about broke the internet.  The Llamas were therapy llamas that got spooked and headed out into the streets of Arizona. It took two lassos and almost 3 hours to wrangle them up. The other story is a picture of a dress.  People were seeing either white & gold or black and blue. Each side wouldn’t budge. This dress had some very famous people arguing about it. Taylor Swift saw black & blue, Julianne More saw gold & white.  What do you see??

Chester Mitchell is about 2 years old and declawed. He is very playful and likes to explore but he also loves to be held. Chester is an affectionate boy. Visit him at the Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter beside the Hyder Burks Ag Pavilion on Gainesboro Grade.
