My breeder was rehoming one of her girls after 6 yrs. Rita came to us this past May. For about the first two weeks she wouldn't even look at us. She would go off to the bedroom and lay in her bed, secluded. It took a while for her to warm up to us, probably the third week or so, she began to come out of the bedroom more & more. Now she is attached to my hip! Rita never goes in the bedroom anymore, she comes over to the couch for us to pick her up so she can lay on the couch. She likes to be with us constantly now. I didn't change her name though. I did develope nick names for her which she does respond to, like Rity Pety, Rita Pie, stinky pot etc. I imagine you could change the puppy's name by just being repetative in what you decide to call it. Good luck with your new baby, I hope you take her!
