He had already been in to see the vet. And now there is a stupid puppy, at least a stupid puppy in Quincy's eyes. A lot of dogs don't like puppies, at least not for the first few months. Puppies need to learn dog manners. I have fostered for a rescue, and have had pups in my house anywhere from birth to 3 or 4 months, actually I have had pups of all ages. My dog is not crazy about the pups at 2 or 3 months old, especially if there is more than 1 of them. The pups start being OK at about 5 months, but Gus still growls at them on occasion at that age too. It is a learning experience for the pup.
