We've had dogs much older whose names and nicknames we gradually changed, 
sometimes drastically, and they still responded.  We once adopted a stray who 
was about 8 years old.  Who knows what he had been called before.  We started 
calling him Ryne, then Ryne-n-koogle, to finally Koog by the time he passed 
away several years later.  (yeah, don't ask, we're weird about names) but 
anyway, he always knew who he was no matter which name we used.

Hope that was useful!
Tracy

I have a dog question, don't know if anybody knows a lot about dogs or not, 
but maybe you can answer this.

We were given a 5 month old Pei, who's 
name happens to be Cujo.

My problem or question is that with us having 
Kosmo, both names sound very similar and both dogs respond at the same time 
when 
I call either name.

At 5 months of age is it too late to change Cujo's 
name?  Would you change the name?  Any opinions? 
 
If not any name suggestions?

Email me off list 
please.

Thanks
Jen
