At first, she didn't know what to make of this large furry four legged creature.
Nor did Marina either. This was a Sim, but in miniature, with a completely new language she had to learn. Baby babble wasn't in Marina's vocabulary.
When Helen got a little too close to Marina whilst she was eating, Marina growled low, as a warning.
"Marina!" Ginny called out from the kitchen, "stop that!"
Marina's ears flicked backwards and she stopped immediately, but still continued to guard her food, whilst watching Helen shuffling along on her unsteady feet.
Helen opened her mouth. Then shut it, as she tried to pronounce Marina's name. She frowned, whilst Marina sniffed at her hair.
Then her eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and then reached forward to plant both hands either side of the dog's head.
"Rina!!!" she exclaimed.
Marina panted in her face and wagged her tail vigorously.
"Rina!!!"
And so it came to pass that Marina DID actually change her name. Only because Helen said so.
