32. my Luna was supposed to be a female lab cross

I had her pulled by a rescuer from death row in a Georgia shelter.

The vet called me when he flipped her over to spay her, she was a he so he neutered him instead.
Luna was on all the paperwork and I'd been calling him Luna for weeks, so the name stuck.

Then he arrived, and he was a little wheaten colored dog with black mask and amber eyes, and a high-pitched shriek of a bay. Mostly rhodesian ridgeback

So I mostly call him Luna, but also Looney and Looney-tune. My vet up here still calls him "she."
