Do you know the sex of your dog?

Ever since we got the new pup, I have ALWAYS called HIM .......a her. I don't correct myself either. What's worse is, since I started this, I now call Yuki my boy. It's always Good Boy to Yuki, and Good Girl to Mequpak. 90% of the time. Everyone we run into is confused, but my neighbors have gotten used to it and correct strangers for me. They just say I'm a bit nuts after so many additions :lol:

I don't know why I do this since I never call my sons ...my daughters. ...and if I did, I'd correct myself. As I do when I'm screaming names. And before him, there were only female animals (including the cats) in the house, so I guess I never screwed up.

As a result, I've come to realize that Mequpak may have to have a sex change. My husband doesn't mind me calling Yuki a boy. :oops:

I call all my pets, good girl, the guinea pig isnt, nor is the canary, they dont mind! as long as I feed them...x
Yuki's just a very butch girl, that's all :wink: :lol:

I confuse the heck out of my customers, sometimes, because I tend to assign gender to each of my art pieces :oops: ...so Im talking to sombody in my booth and saying "...now, if you look at her in the sunlight, you'll see the colors better..." And they look at me like Im nuts. :lol:
Haha! You're going to give that puppy a complex!

EVERYONE (including Dave) calls Marley a boy! It drives me crazy! Dave's whole family, my family, our friends... I think everyone thinks she's a boy! She has the longest eyelashes and is such a sweet little thing too, nothing butch about that girl!
I always call my dogs, "the girls", even Pirate. Pirate doesn't seem to mind. I think he is very secure with his sexuality!
All of my pack are girls so I refer to them as "the girls." I have recently, however, started calling them by the wrong name when I'm trying to correct or get their attention. :roll:
Mine are the "guys".....50% right.
Collectively, I call them "the kids" or "the wigglebums", so no gender issues there.

I have noticed lately, though, that I'm channeling my grandmother. I call all the names of each child while trying to get one's attention. I call Beaureguard by Connor's name and Genevieve by Hayley's name or vice versa. :roll:
Everyone seems to think that they're girls when we go out thanks to the ponytails. :(
Having females for many moons poor syd mommy gets muddled up :roll:

Grooming well that different there is more underneath so definately no mistakes there !!. especially de-matting the equipment :wink: Girls are way neater Oh and belly rubs are way different too 8) :lol: :lol:
I'm sure Murphy has an identity crisis a time or two, one of his many names is Shaggy Maggie.
I don't confuse genders, but because we named her Sammie and because she's a big dog, most people assume she's a boy when they first meet her. :roll:
When we go walking, everyone calls Asterisk a boy (despite the fact that I walk her with a bright pink collar, halter, and leash). I think most people attribute a big, hairy dog with being a boy.

On the reverse, however, most people think Wendel is a girl because of his bright blue eyes (despite the fact that I walk him with a bright blue collar, halter, and leash).

Unless you're color blind (which Josh is) then I just don't get it!
Ours are all boys, except Maggie.
I get the opposite with Chewie. They see the big hairy dog with a topknot and think he's a girl..... 8)

I say - "come on boys....and Maggie!" when they go outside. :D
funny everywhere we go they call my boys girls my pup dreamer acts so much like a girl i have to still check his parts :lol:
