Bronx becomes Brooklyn


You know how sometimes you think that you have it all sorted out, and then you find something out about someone and it completely changes your opinion? Well that happened to my wife and I this weekend! Bronx is our foster puppy for the have for the weekend maybe longer. As part of being good foster parents it is our responsibility to take Bronx to showings so that he can get adopted as soon as possible.

So yesterday PetsMart was having an adopt-a-thon so we took Bronx for his debut. There were a ton of people there and also a lot of rescues. We were just hanging out talking to folks as they came up to pet and ask about the dogs, and then it happened!

Two laddies walked up and knelt down and began to pet Bronx, and were asking my wife questions. My beautiful wife answered the questions and then one of the ladies says, "did you say this was a boy?". My wife said yes he is a male and his name is Bronx. The nice lady then said I hate to tell you but this is a girl. My wife looks up in shock and says "no he's a boy, I think". I immediately respond by telling my wife (while laughing) that it is either one or the other. The ladies laugh and continue on shopping.

My wife then says I am going to pick him up and you look and tell me if he is a boy or a girl. She picks him up and all of the sudden he is not a he but a she! We laugh, and wonder how the shelter and the vets office could miss such an obvious issue!

So, Bronx is now Brooklyn, and a wonderful girl she is. Check her out!
