Turtle Dove’s favorite activities include snacking and taking naps in comfy spots, according to the Tails Humane Society’s description on their webpage.
Turtle Dove’s name comes to her because “she makes the strangest noises I’ve ever heard a cat make,” Rigler said. “She sounds just like a cooing dove.”

Road improvement project to benefit city, county
Road improvement project to benefit city, county By Miranda Reynolds | January 28, 2021 at 6:09 PM CST - Updated January 28 at 7:33 PM
PARAGOULD, Ark. (KAIT) - The city of Paragould and Greene County are working together to work on a road improvement that could help with school traffic issues.
Greene County Road 920 begins in the Paragould city limits and goes into the county.
The road project would improve an alternate route to Greene County Tech High School and the Carriage Hill community.
“Overall, let’s raise the road up, especially at the intersection there with Jones Road, get the water off of the roadway, make sure the ditches are established, and install the culverts where they need to be,” Judge Rusty McMillon said. “It’s going to be a great improvement for this location.”
