Hi Marylyn, I will ask her what she'd like her new name to be. I think choosing names is very important. I know she is in heat by the way she's sticking her butt in the air all the time and moving her little legs back and forth and howling. Poor thing. I'm glad we don't do that as humans, although I guess some of our behaviors could be likened to that...lol.
