inside we have two dogs, small to medium size. Outside we have lots of squirrels that come eat the birdseed and drive my dogs crazy. We have a french door that they look out onto the patio. But the dogs get their daily exercise chasing them up the tree when I let them out. It's fun to watch them try to outwit each other. We have an assortment birds including two pair of doves that are the most beautiful things you ever saw.
