    I wish I could find it, but about a year ago I had a Facebook “friend” share an album from a gender reveal party that they went to. The cake had the Browning logo but with a doe on the opposite side to intertwine and make a heart. Above it in script was “A Buck Or A Doe?”. They revealed the spawn’s gender by shooting a target. These people live amongst us.

    Also I’m always team Corky Bucek and this holds true on this topic as well. Gender reveal parties of any kind and from any socio-economic class are terrible.

    it's a good thing he's having a girl cause she can fall back on other things than sports since she's getting no athletic genes

    this is so dumb.

    people who act like their dogs are their actual children and expect you to appease their delusion are the worst.

    It will probably get annoying pretty fast, especially when the captions read like some of those in the article, but for the time being I find it much easier to appreciate this as opposed to gender reveals. You don't even get pictures of the kid with gender reveals, just pictures of rednecks revealing what gender the baby will be in the most embarrassing way they can think of.

    I love dogs and maybe I am heartless but I agree completely with this...

    In fairness, I could be a bit jaded in having dated more than one girl who made us plan everything around their little (terribly trained) dog.

    I got off Facebook a while back, and I have not missed the gender reveal, engagement, etc. pics (in addition to so many other types of posts). As much as I love dogs, I won’t miss the puppy reveal pics either. Deleting Facebook may have been the easiest thing I’ve ever done to improve my quality of life.

    I could see it, but I imagine its appearance on Good Morning America will produce a lot of puppy reveals that the owners will take quite seriously.

    That’s cool. Mind sharing the names? And is one of them “Guy” or “Fieri”?

    You’re right. I’ve never owned a pet at all, not counting family pets (although I did have a robot vacuum cleaner that I named Nigel for a while). My parents have owned two registered dogs, a schnauzer and basset hound. They named the former, using the family last name. The initial owners named the latter, using their family last name. I’m pretty sure that the schnauzer doesn’t have a middle name, and I don’t think the basset hound did either, so I was unaware of the multiple names. But :idk:. I meant no disrespect with my comment, although I see how it could be taken that way as it was lumped together with the other comment, which was absolutely judging.

    She really just goes by "Layla." The rest is from her pedigree.

    That’s a lovely name. I always judge a dog’s name by how comfortable it would be to yell it outside when the dog has gone missing, and Layla would roll off the tongue nicely I think. A Clapton nod or just a good name?

    Not a huge Clapton fan, but I do love the song. It also kind of fit her, if that makes sense.

    I’ve just learned that my parents’ schnauzer not only has a middle name, but it’s the name he goes by. My world has turned upside down.

    My wife gave her dog a middle name, but it only comes out when the dog is being bad, like using the full name on a child when he's misbehaving. And it actually works. It's quite hilarious.

    I got triggered from reading this video description on Facebook earlier:

    "This bulldog has so many irrational fears, and his parents indulge them all. But he actually feels most safe flying in his dad's helicopter!"

    Update: the basset hound also had a middle name, and that’s what we called him. I’ve been swimming in a sea of ignorance.
