[Tobra]

The brown one is about 5, striped one is about 3, 95# and 125# respectively

Thick brown one is top dog. If I am not home, the wife goes nowhere without an escort. Yesterday it was hot, so the brown one wanted to go inside so the fan could blow on him, because he is a dog, he is not stupid. Wife was out there with the other dog. After a while, the striped dog wanted in, went to the door and did his please come here and open this routine, then sits in front of the door, which is basically a window with a door frame around it. Brown dog goes to the door, glares at the other dog, barks once, and the striped dog runs over and sits in the shade of the orange tree. He can see both gates, the wife and the entire yard from that spot. There he stays, until the wife gets up to go in the house. She comes in, other dog comes with her. Apparently, during the day one or the other is constantly beside her.
When I get home, one of them will take a look, while the other stays with her, until we come to wherever she is.
