  Kim L. asked:

  My neighbor took this pretty dove in after feeding him for about a month. According to experts, he is domesticated and in danger of a predatory attack. They think he was a dove released at a wedding ( makes me furious). We caught him today and he is doing well but my neighbor and I are both going out of town this weekend. We are looking for either a babysitter for the weekend, a foster and possibly an adoptive family. Please let me know. We are in Avalon Park near the town center.

  Help! Found this guy in the pool. Think he's in shock. I have to go to work. Guys are coming to mow so I don't want to leave him in the yard. Who wants him? Where can I take him?

  A poor gopher tortoise was killed on our street today. I found a company on eBay that sells tortoise crossing signs... Does anyone know if there is a local company that sells these signs? A lot beach visitors park on our street and we'd like to remind them to watch for the tortoises.
