Guest Anonymous Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 keep correcting adam lol i like the name Leo.. Lilo doesn't fit him at all... and by the way your dog answers to Star lol. .. so like he'll notice an extra "L" in his name lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendalyn Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 The dog is not going to differenciate from Lilo to Leo. Eventually your son will be able to say Leo so I wouldn't change the dog's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollysmith Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I say keep the dogs name the same. Your son will eventually change to the correct form don't make a big deal of it and time will work it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 LOL DO, that is hilarious. In that case I would change it to, but Leo and Lilo is no big deal. I agree that eventually your son will be able to say it right. The dog will not be confused either. My son says Toby pretty well, but sometimes he just says doggy or puppy and Toby knows it means him. Dogs are very smart. I think they understand when kid mean them.

Baileysmom Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I say leave it and him alone :wink: the rest of you continue to say "Leo" and Adam will eventually get it too..... when we adopted Bongo, Brads speech was pretty bad and he called him "Gongo" for a long time :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 lol DO. I know friends of my sisters who had a lovely Turkish van kitty called Scarlett. They had a kid then and they liked the name so much that they called their child Scarlett and the kitty got its name changed to Garnet! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueless Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Most of us have dogs that answer to several names, Daisy is Daisy but sometimes I call her sweetpea, or munchkin and she answers to them all. When we are talking about her she knows it because she has figured out who "she" and "her" is!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn6 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I don't think it matters most dogs don't really listen to the very young kids much anyway. It's what you call him that will matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
