Yep just me and the hound for this last week, tonight the power struggle for alpha female will begin between wife and hound. Dog gets super turfy when wife is gone more than a couple days. It is hilarious to watch, wife hands on hips giving dog stink eye, dog glaring back, neither refusing to relinquish space on chair, bed or couch. At some point I usually have to intercede and tell dog what to do or very gently explain to wife she is arguing with a non English speaking dog. They make me howl!
