So When Did That Happen?

My little passive pup, submissive fellow, mellow mush. Well-not so much anymore, I guess.

The crew where we take him to doggie daycare loves Quincy and they always tell me what a good boy he is. They even give a "report card" that gives a little recap of the day. Of course, I am the proud doodle mom, thinking I have the perfect dog and the cutest, one too...

I knew that when the dogs won't listen, the staff resorts to using a water squirt bottle to get their attention. We always joked about it- checking him out to see if he came out wet. He never did. Until yesterday.

He was soaked! Just his head, but still!

"Oh" the young woman who brought him to me said as she handed him over to me,

"Quincy, you are soaked, guess you were misbehaving!"

My quizzical look prompted further explanation.

"Oh, uh, well, Quincy likes to hump other dogs!" she explained a little sheepishly.

Further quizzical expression from me.

"REALLY?" I asked. Frankly, I was used to Quincy being the hump-ee, not the hump-er....

"Yes" she explained "Well, it's a dominance thing, he won't stop when we tell him to, so we have to squirt him with the water bottle".

He listens to that though!" she added happily.

When I told my son and DH, I detected an oddly proud tone to their laughter. Males....

Then I was thinking. Since I picked Quincy up earlier than usual that particular day, maybe he had just had enough time to dry out all the other days!

I don't think I want to know.
