Both parents and 4 pups. Not only don't have any injured animals around here any more we don't have any live little animals any more.

We were just about up to our ears in ground squirrels but now we haven't seen any in months. Used to have a lot of toads and tree frogs too. Haven't seen one. Just an occasional grease spot on the patio where a fox had eaten one.
