Gender Issues


As Gerty is growing and getting older, many things have changed. For one, when I was carrying “her” the other day, I noticed that she was a he. So, our poor little Gerty is a Gordy, or we were thinking of keeping it Gerty but spelling it Gurdy- that seems like a boy name, right? So hopefully we haven’t damaged him too badly by telling him he was such a good girl too many times. We’re still adjusting. There are many conversations now that have a “she, I mean he” in the middle of them. We were also told lately that he may be a Rex, which apparently grow to be around 20 pounds. That day we called him “Gordo”, but I’m still having trouble envisioning this four pound little thing being 20 pounds.
