At 8 pm, Mackenzie located and killed a ground squirrel from under the rocks in front of the observation windows after nearly 33 minutes of digging, whining and lunging to get under the rock. The pups watched intently and even began digging adjacent to the rock. After Mackenzie ran off with the squirrel and she guarded it from all including the puppies, but at a later observation shift ( 5:40 am on the 16th) the pups play tug a war with the squirrel and both end up eating it.
