OK, guys. Now this is just getting ridiculous.
As Twitchy told you yesterday, Conan’s presence at the White House had tongues wagging … about his/her sex. First, she was a girl. Then, he was a boy.
Well, now that we’ve had time to sleep on it, it looks like she’s back to being female:
Just in: #Conan, the hero dog from the al-Baghdadi raid, is in fact a GIRL, a US defense official tells ABC News. Yesterday, a WH official told the pool that Conan was a girl but later said the dog was actually a boy — after POTUS & VPOTUS used male pronouns to refer to Conan.

Conan, the hero dog injured in the al-Baghdadi raid, is in fact female, a US defense official tells @ABC.
Yesterday, the White House said that Conan was a girl, but later said the dog was actually a boy. The change came after Trump and Pence used male pronouns to refer to Conan. pic.twitter.com/JPX9au0KYc

Or maybe he’s still male:
?UPDATE: Two defense officials have now contacted us to say Conan is *for sure they say* a BOY. One official said they triple checked.
I guess the important thing here is that Conan, boy or girl, is a good dog who did excellent work with the US military.
The end.

Good Lord.
Conan, the hero dog, dilemma:
Monday:
Trump says male
WH then says Conan is a female
WH then corrects to say Conan is a male
Today:
DoD says female
Then, WH stands by story that Conan is male.
Then, DoD says male, after *triple checking*— Katherine Faulders (@KFaulders) November 26, 2019

i'm no veterinarian but couldn't they just like… lift up her one of her legs and check to avoid all of this?

Can't somebody just check to see if it has a penis or not? I'm sure Getty has like 1,500 photos of the ceremony. https://t.co/9OoZ0xHSsh

Isn't there just a video highlight of yesterday's presser that proves it once and for all without going back and forth .. it's not hard to spot the difference.

Have they considered that Conan is non-binary?

Well, one thing’s for sure:
The government can't even get its story straight about the sex of a dog probably isn't ready to run the entire health insurance system for the country. https://t.co/63UjsuAQ8S
