[B]That happened to my family too! My first childhood pet (and constant companion) was a handsome little mixed-breed called RAGS.

One day, when he was still quite young my dad found a "tick" - and being unable to remove it (OUCH) we took Rags to the vet, where he tactfully explained, that, as with humans, even BOY dogs have nipples!!!
This is still embarrassing, but at least I am in good company.

I did the exact same thing with Bob. I was rubbing his belly and I found a bump. I got really worried and called the vet and they told him to bring him down.

My vet is fairly close, so about 10 minutes later we were looking at Bob's belly. The vet handled it well, and explained to me very calmly that male cats had nipples too. She showed me that he had a matching bump by his other leg. The vet tech just started to laugh, smiled at me and left. I thanked the my doc and we went to the reception area, the vet tech had went and told then entire office. Almost all of whom had to come and give me a hard time about this. That was the most embarrassing part.

I probably need to explain, this is not the meanest vets office in the world. I know almost everyone there by first name, I was in there once every 3 days for about 9 or 10 months. So it was not like they all decided to pick on the stupid owner, whom they did not know. Thinking about it now, it may have been better if they didn't know me. Then they would have had to make fun of me after I left.

Well at least they didn't charge me for the visit.
