    Gender confusion

    When you are walking your dog and people come up to you what gender do they assume your dog is?

    99% of the time people thing Nebo is a girl. I really don't think he looks all that feminine, but apparently he does. Maybe it's the color?

    Reggie is always male, he's never mistaken for a female.

    Smokey was always female. All poodles are female, right?

    Sydney is almost always assumed to be a male. I'm not sure if it's the color, the name, or both... I'm not sure if the name Sydney is supposed to be a male or female name?

    Lady (friend's dog) is always thought to be a male. Even when Melissa says her name is LADY people still say "he."

    People always say "he" with us, for both dogs. They always said "he" with our RB Chloe also.

    It seems like even if you correct them and tell them their names they still say "he"...lol...I don't know why.

    happy is often called HE, for the most part because of her name, but no border collie person has EVER mistaken her to be male lol Misty is just called a gorgous dog period lol but assumed to be female if someone talks to me about her. Blair I dont know reactions to him and RL and on the internet are completly differnt, many people in RL think Blair is just plain out ugly, while on the net he is refered to as "what has to be the absolute most cutest dog in the world" lol so noone really comments on him much, I think we have had one comment from a stranger, and that was a retired vet insisting that Blair was way to thin for a dog that old(he was 4 months) so I dont really know what people in RL think he is, but in the net everyone calls him a girl I usually find myself correcting people saying he is a boy very regularly. perky everyone knows is a girl lol he is far to dainty to be confused for a male lol Ripley is a boy, no one have ever called him a girl as far as I know...

    Grr, yes. Breeze is ALWAYS called a HE because she is black! I even bought her a REALLY Pink coller Nova, nope, always a girl, and Connor is such a manly dog that he is always a boy. But Teddy, my mom's dog is of course a girl, so fluffy, lol, but he doesn't not apreciate anyone thinking he is a women

    I have that problem with Lacey, everyone thinks she is a boy I also bought a pink collar last year for her birthday.This year I have her a berry colored one for her birthday later this month. The real insult came when my brother was up last year from the south and saw her pee and started laughing and says why is your dog peeing like a girl? That's when she got the pink collar.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Muskwa is the same color as Nebo and the same thing happens to him all the time. Everyone thinks he's a pretty girl!

    Isn't it too cute? I got it at the Big Dogs store,we have an outlet about 15 miles from here. If they still have them, I'll get you one this weekend and send it to you. What size would Miss Lolly wear?

    Daisy is almost always mistaken for a male. You'd think with a name like "Daisy" people would know she's female!

    Molly is always called a female. Probably because of her fluffy, long coat.
