first off there are NO critters allowed in the house, this is my area not theirs. I have my own long hair to deal with shedding and I at least know where and how to use the bathroom without leaving a mess for the rest of the family to deal with.
we have one hunting dog left, all the rest died of old age.
we see, squirrels, rabbits, foxes, coyote, bears, deer, snakes, mice, cats, other dogs, humming birds (my favorite), woodpeckers, lots og song birds, crows, owls, harks, possums, we even saw a bobcat this pass summer and some wild pigs.
Well I guess you get the picture. If it lives in the woods we have seen it.
