People think he's a girl no matter what, and I definitely get comments when I use pink bands. But seriously WHO CARES?? I like the bows and his hair needs to be put up. Technically he's neutered and I'm sure the other dogs aren't looking to his bow to figure out what gender he is. People are so silly. . Sometimes I think if I ever have a kid and its a boy I will let his hair grow long just to fly in the face of people's annoying gender stereotypes some more. But that's just me.
