    Baby puppies tend to play alone a bit more than older puppies and adult dogs. I think it's normal depending on the dog. My friend's boxers tend to play alone, but she also has only dogs and is gone...

    Call your local wildlife agency or possibly pest control. I mean, you could relocate them, but they'd probably get eaten by a hawk, fox, owl, etc. It is often more humane to dispatch them yourself in...
