Just wondered if anyone else who has a group of 3 or more has ever noticed a shift in rank amongst the individuals?
I went out to get Fiver, Scout and Marley in yesterday and Marleys fur was all over the garden as was a little of Scouts and Fiver has a small bite to his ear (its more of a graze). After watching them interact it was clear that Fiver has started picking on Marley and Scout just got in the way. Its not nasty and they are not fighting but Fiver is certainly putting Marley in his place.
The odd thing is Scout was always boss and Fiver was the underdog.....what may have brought about a change like this? They still sit and groom together like they used to.
