Its interesting to watch how things work out/change, it rarely happens exactly as you hope.
I brought Dan to try and keep Hank out of trouble, a companion for my companion, and its kind of worked but not quite as I had hoped. When the boys first went together they played and squabbled but generally had a royal old time. Since putting them back with Jess that's changed a bit.
Dan actually seems to prefer Jess's company, generally he will choose to be with her over Hank, though the boys do still play and squabble Jess is also somewhat besotted with Dan, when in season she started attacking Hank again, then she puts her self between the boys and stands with or for Dan and periodically chases Hank off, even if he is paying no attention 20ft away grazing for the last 3 months she has had horrible seasons again and I am now thinking it is Dan's arrival that has sent her into a spin.
They do move as a little herd most of the time, say 60%, then for another 5% Dan is off and Jess and Hank are together, 5% Jess if off alone, then 30% its Hank who is off on his own. I feel sorry for the poor little sod He is a bloody pest, he's a bit hyper and wants to play a lot and is just always on the go when he isn't sleeping The other 2 are much happier to just stand back and watch. It makes me want to buy a baby just so Hank has a play mate Dan is a good fit with Jess though, he doesn't pester her or provoke her at all so she only occasionally tells him off mostly for not paying enough attention to what she was saying quietly
