Hopkins County Humane Society is FULL FULL FULL... They have more dogs/cats then they can safely care for.
Prices for adoptions have been reduced significantly in the hopes to find good homes at an affordable cost. Your pet will come with all their shots, chipped and neutered/spayed. They'll even throw in a bag of food to help you get started.
If you can't adopt........perhaps you might be able to foster ??
Please try to help. This is a nationwide issue.
Animals are at HIGH RISK OF EUTHANASIA... Sweet animals, young animals.... good pets......they don't deserve to be put down because so many do not believe in having their animals fixed...

Why in the world does insist on leaving my packages on top of the trash cans next to the road?? I’ve asked them for the whole time I’ve lived here to put them by my door. Every other delivery service leaves packages by my door. Can’t get a juman on the phone either.

Suggestions?

Kentucky friends- does anyone know a lawyer that deals with contracts? I have a contractor here and everything is a mess, he’s intimidating and charging more almost daily. Don’t want to get into the specifics on here. Thanks

So excited to be in Kentucky for this years Kentucky Derby! Here is some cool info:

"150th Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby will take place at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, tomorrow, marking the 150th "Run for the Roses." The race carries a record purse this year of $5M—$2M more than last year—with tomorrow's winner taking home $3.1M. The runner-up will receive $1M and third-place $500K. Coverage begins at 2:30 pm ET on NBC, with Derby post time at 6:57 pm ET.



The oldest continuous sporting event in America, the Derby features 3-year-old thoroughbred horses born in the Northern Hemisphere racing a 1.25-mile track. This year's top contenders include Fierceness (5-2 odds as of this writing), who is coming off a win at the Florida Derby, and Sierra Leone (3-1), both hailing from Kentucky. However, the race is known for upsets: A favorite hasn't won since 2018, and Rich Strike won in 2022 with 80-1 odds. (How are odds calculated?)



The Derby serves as the first leg in horse racing's Triple Crown series. Preceding the Derby this evening is the Kentucky Oaks (5:51 pm ET), showcasing 3-year-old fillies or young female horses. See Derby predictions here."
