UM...EMMA is a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lorraine]

that's funny! The same thing happened with my Sammy. I thought he was a girl, so we named her Samantha, when we took her in for her first vet vist, the doctor said "Samantha huh? I think you've got yourself a Sam here"!

[slick]

You can call him Emmatt....LOL

[popcornbird]

Emma's a BOY?!?!?! Oh my gosh! Who would've expected? LOL I'm shocked!

[Prairie Purrs]

TOO funny! They really like to keep us guessing, don't they?

Don't worry though, happens to the best of us. When I first got Tubby his first mom thought he was a girl and named him Bitsy. I didn't find out differently until I took him in to be spayed. Vet told me "It's going to be kinda hard to spay him!" I just took my friend's word for it that Bitsy was a girl and never bothered to check for myself. Don't know how he went from Bitsy to Tubby though - must have been all those treats over the years.

Either way I'm glad he's got a home, either with you or with the vet.

This is just too funny. LOL I agree that you may want to use blue softpaws next time.

Well I am happy to hear that the vet caught it before he did anything. I am also really happy to hear that he has a home no matter what.

Wow! I bet you sure were surprised. I'm glad to hear that Phoebe's surgery went well and that Emmanuel or Samson will have a loving forever home with either you or the eye surgeon. At least he's still young enough to relearn a new name.

LOL
I wish I could have seen your face when they've told you...that little imp has hidden his identity for such a long time...
He's a little magician for that!!!

Too cute, and I love both names, but think that HE would easier get used to Emmanuel...

I am sorry, but I find this sooo funny, it sounds like what happened to us about 17 years ago, we got this Capauchin Monkey, and the lady swore it was a boy, (this monkey came from a circus and was mistreated so badly, they said that after the mother had her, they just threw her in the cage and that was it, I won't mention the name of the circus, because it is a very well known circus) well she looked like a boy to me, I took her to the vet to get him checked out, and everything was alright with this little monkey. Just so wild, you would not believe. Anyway, I took one of my dogs to the vet, and the vet says, "How is Bugger, how is she doing?", I said "Oh he is doing, wait a minute, Bugger is not a girl, Bugger is a boy!". That vet was having fun by then, and was laughing at me big time. I explained to him that Bugger had a "penis", and she did!

Well he just laughs at me some more and says, "Well they all have that", there a little more to a female Capauchin than any other animal, LOL, she was indeed a girl. Found that out after I got home and done a very close examination of her.

That vet sure did have fun with me that day, and I was just standing there trying to explain why she was a boy. You can just imagine what I was saying to him. ,

So I know how you feel, except I was foolish enough to argue with the vet, if he hadn't been laughing at me so hard, well gee, maybe I would have believed him sooner.

Good luck with Emma?

I'm shocked!

I opened this post first thing this morning and my mouth dropped open!! I can't imagine your reaction to the news!!
I had the same thing happen as Lorraine and I think it is a Sammy thing! I named him Sally and at about six months changed it to Sammy when things began to develop. I'm just glad I didn't experience it at the vets!!!!
This is too funny!
If I'm remembering right I think you commented not to long ago on how much bigger "Emma" was than Phoebe. I guess now we know why!!

[Twink]

LOL LOL LOL

Well, that's going to take some getting used to, isn't it??

I'm glad you want to keep him if the eye doctor doesn't! I know it would have been hard for you to give "her" up.

I like "Emmanuel" for a name! And if "Emma" still sounds a little to feminine, you could always just call him "Em." As in, "Yo, Em!"

[catlover4ever]

I'm sorry I can not stop grinning. What a way to start the morning.

It happens to the best of us. I really thought Mystic was a boy and I had been calling her Merlin for about a month. When I finally got close enough for an "inspection" I found out he was really a she.

[ramanth]

Ack! Emma is having a gender crisis!!

I think Samson is a cute name. What a silly bloke.
