No it's not Tourettes, but then, not everyone can comfortably do the potty-mouth thing, LOL. Very cool, though--and your H obviously had no problem with it, just the XOW and that's a very good sign.
Hmmm...your office visit makes me think of something. Eight years ago, we were given a puppy that is half wolf. She was different right from the start, more intelligent, different eating habits, etc.
On her first vet visit, the vet talked to me about the challenges of owning a wolf-hybrid. He told me that we should never play tug-of-war games with her or any other activities that invited her to display dominance over her humans.
He said that she would challenge me, as the only female in the house, and would try various things to see if she could dominate me. It's basic wolf social behavior, there's one alpha male and one alpha female in every pack. The vet told me that whenever the pup tried to get uppity with me, I should whip her legs out from under her, get her on her back, bite her neck and growl---showing her that I intended to remain the alpha female of the house!
Well, your little trip to the office (like mine) reminds me of that. Establishing mate behavoir and territory to the wannabes. I just curled up my lip and showed a little more, well, FANG! LOL
(OK, nobody make any bad jokes about peeing around the perimeters to mark our areas!)
