Three birds, four dogs, and a squirrel in the tree outside that keeps the dogs in a continual frenzy. We are sure the squirrel knows exactly what it is doing. Doggie door is sealed up for the winter, so we get plenty exercise...let frenzied dogs out...let frozen dogs in...repeat all day...

I have 2 cats inside. Outside I have a very tall palm tree where a family of squirrels live. Every day I tuck crackers and old bread into the strips of bark and watch them come down to nibble. My cats love to watch. My son said he saw a huge white owl come down one night which explains the big droppings my husband has found. Looks like a ball of bones. Ugh! At least it keeps any mice away. Hopefully it's staying away from the squirrels so far.

1 cat inside.
I have a couple squirrels that come visit on occasion. Quite a few birds of course. I had 2 ducks - we named them Alice and Jasper. They came all the time but we've not seen them since May - they usually hang out in the summer, we're hoping to see them again in the spring. They actually knock on the sliding glass door when they land and let us know they are there. We feed them. Probably shouldn't but can't help it. They got quite use to us and would let me talk to them. I always have some water out for them too.

Let see inside, I have two dogs one upstairs with me. Ralf, he is half Lab and Rottweiler and very protective of his property. Down stairs I build a mother –in law, my oldest daughter lives there with her min pin and three cats. And of course the field mice’s that come in for the winter. Outside you name it, I have it, everything from wood peckers, wild birds, wild turkeys, rabbits, raccoons, skunks, foxs, squirrel, chipmunks, moles deer’s, bucks to the occasional black bear. My back yard runs into the Appalachian trail and the Berkshire Mts. Just recently, I have been hearing coyotes. So we always have a show everyday, and they help keeps Ralf trim for his job it to run the critters off during the day

Inside at night = two labs Outside = lots of squirrels, rabbits, deer, coyotes, wild hogs, buzzards, Mexican eagles, ducks, heron, all kinds of small birds, cows (mine), and so far 30 snakes recently. None seen since cold weather but sure they are out there. Forgot the raccoons, skunks and armadillos. Yes I am in the country. The squirrels and the buzzards drive the labs crazy.

12 Italian greyhounds, in various stages from totally feral to cuddlebugs. Ranging in age from 12 to 1 1/2. 7 of them are "fosters" though of those, 4 are feral (not well socialized and afraid of people- typical of puppy mill survivors) and may or may not find homes.

We have had the occasional bird and kamikaze squirrel come in through the dog door, to add a bit of excitement to our lives.

We have a German Short Haired Pointer Molly who is stubborn as the day is long but sweet natured and Maggie a blue tick beagle who is 12 and a food hound! We have Snickers a grey cockatiel who thinks she runs the house. Outside we see rabbits squirrels cats ground squirrels(chipmunks) You occasionally will see a bobcat or fox or wolf or coyote around. Mostly in the country tho not up close here. We are in a small town that is like almost in the country.
