Did You Hear About Our Dog?

Last November Archie Brown and his family rescued a beautiful yellow Lab from a local shelter,and named him Buccanneer. The vet determined that Buc was between 10 months and a year old and in very good health.

Their two grandsons, who live in our home, love the dog. They play with him every day, and do a pretty good job of being responsible for his welfare, at least as well as can be expected of a 5 and a 6 year old. They feed and water Buc and even scoop the poop without complaint.

Buc is smart, he learned simple commands very quickly. He is gentle with the boys, loves to wrestle and fetch and run. It is a true joy to see the boys lay on the ground in the sun, with Buc as a pillow. Buc seems like a normal Lab, he chews everything left in his reach, he digs in places we'd rather he did not.

The one thing Archie can't figure out is why Buc squats to pee in stead of hiking his leg and marking his space. Does anyone have an idea why? Will the other dogs think he is a sissy and make fun of him? Does Archie need to be concerned about his becoming a cross-dresser?
