My newbie also answers us oldsters to her predecessor's name 🥰

I realize that is supposed to be funny, but how sad for the dog.

Mine answers to, "what have you got in your mouth".  So far I've removed 2 dead birds but he got to keep the mouse.  I have my limits.

@GingerPeach    Why is that sad?  Dogs don't care what you call them as long as you call....and love them.

It's sad because it shows the dog isn't getting any training or guidance.

If someone says words like that all the time, it's a problem.

If it's just occasionally, then probably not.

I know dogs don't care what they're called, but using words signifies something to the humans involved. 
I used to believe it was OK, but I'm realizing it affects how I feel also.

@GingerPeach    My sister and I both have "J" names.  Mother frequently called me by her name and her by mine.  It just meant that mother was absent-minded and perhaps distracted.  We were getting more than enough training and guidance.

I grew up with 5 brothers and sisters.

Mom would name each of us in turn, by age, until she reached the name of the one she needed to chew out for whatever reason.

I have heard this is not unusual!
