Happy New Year, everyone! Spry here with two questions. #1: My cousins from San Francisco are visiting, considering locating to Maplewood (the buzz about our town has made it to the west coast!). They need to rent a car. I'd appreciate suggestions of a reliable and inexpensive place to do this locally. #2: We have a family of four wild turkeys that visits us a couple of times daily. They seem to find things to eat in our garden, even this time of year! Although they are funny and interesting to look at, they make quite a mess with their poop. Any suggestions on how to "organically" keep them away? |

Monster - Seriously, is an Australian Cattle Dog the same as an Australian Shepherd? I've always loved the latter breed, and we're thinking of getting a dog sometime in the future. |

Oh, thank you, Bobk, for the car rental tip. Think I'll hold off on the bird shot... |

Wow Kevin, they're so beautiful! Don't do anything mean - poops can be easily cleaned. I've had them in my yard before, but they rarely stay. My doggies and kitties scare em away. Oh, that rhymed. |
