| I don't think is to late to change her name, if you like it just keep it I don't think eiter that the name is to long I think is sweet name. Make sure that she go to potty before bed time, and if she need to go a night, keep her warm too with a pjs and a nice soft warm blanket, she probably miss her fur-family give her time |

| Well how old is she? Does she answer to her name now? As for the crying, do you have her near you in a comfy cozy carrier with blankets. Parker has slept with me since the first day I brought him home. I am sure a bunch of people will have some great advise!! Oh and congrats on the new baby!!! |

| Oh yeah and if you would want they have buddy's that you can buy for her that she can sleep with. Some you warm up in the micro that stay warm and others that actually have a heartbeat...just a suggestion.. |

| I can't answer the crying question. I'm sure she'll grow out of it once she becomes comfortable with her new surroundings and she learns what is what. I love her name and think it's ok to keep it. I don't think it's too long. But if you want to change it I think that would be ok too.

| It's not too late..I had to sell my biewer, she knew her name Heidi, the other lady changed it to Hannah, and she learned it right away(she was about 7-8 mos when she changed it), my mom had a dog she got at 11 mos. she changed her name, and she learned it quick..they adapt very well to name changes |

| When we first brought Xena home we put her in a baby play pen at night in our bedroom so she could see us but didn't have free reign to make messes on the floor. She cried at first but stopped when she realized we weren't going to go get her. You just can't give in when they start crying, if you do they learn that crying will get them what they want. She would whimper in the middle of the night and we would take her out to go potty and then put her right back in the pen, no playing. She learned in a couple days that pen time was sleep time. I hope that helps.

| It's definetly not to late to change her name, but maybe you can call her by a nickname.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I think the name is cute. About the crying, London used to cry when she first came here cause she was so tiny i didn't wanna sleep with her and suffocate her or something so i used to keep her in the crate, and she would cry cause she would want to get out and sleep with me. Eventually i had to let her sleep with me, so that may be it. She learned not to pee on the bed also, so yours has to be potty trained
