oh....we have to change her name.  there's already a family cat called misty, do you think it'll matter?  maybe lily.  still 2 syllables & ends in y so she should be OK, do you think?

We changed Alfie's name from Logan (sounds nothing alike) and he was responding to it within a day or two - we kept calling him it over and over, while giving him treats - he soon got the hang of it!

Fab news,I'm delighted for you. They actually recommend you change the name to something completely different as with some dogs if they have been mistreated they could associate their name to bad things coming iyswim. They learn their new names very quickly especially if there is a treat involved whilst using it. Hope all goes well for you.

The reason dogs have so many friends is because they wag their tails instead of their tongues.
