Lol, that is the same thing that happened to me with my Sophie. She was so tiny and dainty when I first saw her (7.5weeks) and I wanted a feminine, pretty name for her. I had all sorts of plans for her, she was going to love bows in her hair, dresses, always be cleaned and everything would be pink. Well, she is now 10 months old and I think she wishes she was a boy. Anytime we put a bow in her hair she rips it out and shreds it, any dress I have bought for her she finds and hides around the apartment, rolls around in the dirt at the first chance she gets, when we groom her she messes her hair up so it has a 'bed head appearance', and even though dogs apparently can't see colour she hates the colour pink. She has peed or pooped on any of the pink dresses or shirts I have and runs away from anything that is pink ... her favourite thing to wear is her black shirt witha glow in the dark priate skull on it.
She is no longer dainty at all...right now she is beating up her stuffed kitty and chewing on its' head and earlier she was gnawing on the coffee table (I am about to make a post about that as well). But I love her in all her tomboy glory.
My other pets are Sammie, Grumpy and Libby.
Sammie was rescued at 3 weeks - she was found in a box with her brother taped up in a garbage pile, someone took the male but no one wanted her because she looked sicker than her brother, so I took her in and bottle raised her (most amazing experience ever) and she was a tiny, dirty kitten that was full of worms and fleas but she was so loving and happy and she reminded me of my mom's friend's cat that was put down just before I found her (he had kidney failure at 3 years old) and I loved that cat and we always babysat him and he was such a loving cat...so I named my cat Sammie after Doug's Sammy. She is now 3 years old and as healthy as ever =)
Grumpy is our 4 year old rehome cat. I had always wanted a long haired white cat and there was an ad of someone getting rid of theirs because "they didn't have time". Her name was Lucy when we got her, but she smelled like smoke and litter box contents so we bathed her the night we got her and we started calling her Grumpy, and it stuck...so she is no longer Lucy and is officially Grumpy.
Libby is our new addition. She is 9 weeks old and a half manx kitten. It took us two weeks to name her (she has coccidia and had fleas...so she has been locked in the bathroom on medication since we got her =(). I was watching TV one night and someone named an aminal Liberty and I thought it was cute, but too long of a name for her...so she became Libby and it fits her perfectly.
