Morgan Wallen's toddler son Indigo was bitten in the face by the family dog, Legend. Wallen's former fiance KT Smith posted a lengthy video to her Insta Stories explaining what happened to her and Morgan's son. They are now looking for a new home for the dog.

In the series of video clips, KT explained that Legend bit Indigo; the toddler was taken to the emergency room. He will have to have stitches and may have a small scar on his face from the incident. Smith got quite emotional in the video stopping several times to gather herself. She said she only took what happened to social media to quickly find a loving home for the three-year-old dog with a family of adults and a big yard because the dog won't walk on a leash.

KT even gave her work cell phone number on Insta Stories to find a quick home for the dog, which she said must be gone within a day or so before Indigo returns home. She did say she would not tolerate any hate messages, and people sending those or things that don't have to do with finding the dog home will be blocked.

In closing, she said that Indigo would be okay. The video clips were mostly about finding the dog a new home because she did not want to put the dog down as some people had already suggested.

Earlier this month (6/6), Wallen announced he he could return to performing after his doctor ordered six weeks of vocal rest on May 9. He posted an Instagram story that said, "Also, doc cleared me to talk and sing..we back."

Morgan was on the road with his "One Thing At A Time World Tour" before postponing shows on his doctor's orders. He wrote the news of the postponed tour on Instagram stories, "Y'all know how important my fans are to me, so I feel horrible about this news. There's nothing more I want to do than be on stage playing for you guys. But as of today, I'm on doctor-ordered vocal rest, and we have to reschedule this week's shows."

As Morgan Wallen celebrates his 30th birthday today (5/13), he just shared with his fans that he has re-scheduled 10 out of the 16 tour dates that he postponed early this week. Morgan posted the news on his Instagram to the delight of his bid fan base.

While he wasn't in attendance at the ACM Awards earlier this week (5/11), Wallen did win the Male Artist of the Year honor given out by ACM co-host Garth Brooks.

Earlier this year, in March, Morgan revealed he is single. He said in a recent interview, "I had a girlfriend for a while. Not recently. That was the last one I had. I don't have anybody right now. It's kind of hard. Just how busy I've been. I got a son; an album, a tour; I've got all these things I do."

He added, "It's really hard for me to make time for that. I want to, though. I think I'm coming up on my 'settle down phase.' We'll see. I'm not in a hurry."

As Walen celebrates his big day working on improving his voice during his doctor-mandated vocal rest, we pause to look at 13 of his best songs.
