My Alaskan Malamute keeps most things out of my yard but I regularly see raccoons, possums, deer and rabbits. And there are tons of mallards in the creek behind the house, along with one completely white duck that appeared a couple years ago. He looks hilarious hanging out with the mallards.

One stupid rabbit made a nest in my yard last year and the result wasn't pretty when the dog discovered it. One year, when we got back from a vacation (and the dog had been boarded for a week), there was a tunnel from the creek side of the fence to inside the yard. Once the dog was back though, the tunnel filled with leaves.

She's been digging a hole lately near the cherry tree. I think she's going after moles or voles, but she definitely smells something down there. She digs and digs, then sticks her nose in the hole, and digs and digs some more. Then she lays down while staring at the hole. The squirrels tease her.
