In 1996, Clay was diagnosed with a relapsing form of multiple sclerosis (RMS).  The diagnosis came at a pivotal time in his life; his career in country music was exploding, he had recently finished recording his fourth album and his oldest daughter had just been born. The last thing he expected was the tingling and numbness on his right side, and facial spasms that hit while he was on tour. 

Recently, Clay has been in the recording studio with plans to release new music in early 2015, and is making headway in the world of film and television. He stars as host with the Outdoor Channel’s Trophy Hunters

When it comes to celebrating the holiday season, gatherings with family and friends are usually centered around food. Homes that include furry friends know all too well how challenging it can be to deny pets leftover table scraps or extra treats that can create problems later.
