This is the dialogue from an American movie released in 1946:
Sam: How are you?
Harry: Fine.
Sam: And the mistress?
Harry: Oh, she's wonderful.
Sam: Good.
Harry: Good boy, you're sure in the doghouse weather.
Sam: Why?
Harry: What's the matter with you, anyway? Don't you answer phone calls anymore?
What does doghouse weather mean in this context?
Of course, Sam doesn't work in a dog pound, he is a soldier coming home after serving in the Pacific during WWII.
