Last night while I was working in the basement I heard Naima barking up a storm. I went outside to check on her and she was barking at a slightly tipped over garbage can.
I looked down into the garbage can and barely visible in a half inch of black water was a ground squirrel.
Naima was so proud of this accomplishment.
I took the garbage can back to the alley and dumped its inhabitant out.

It sat there for several minutes before deciding to move on with its day.
