I get that with mine, people constantly ask me how do I tell the difference, and I look at them, they are different colours, sizes, different trims etc etc. I just say how do you tell people apart!!

Ah thanks!-no there's nothing wrong with my Mum's eyesight! She is very houseproud so I think Cherry, Parker and I would get shown the door pdq if we came in with Cherry smelling like fox poo!!!!

I think you ought to get one of those evil electric shock dog collars and put it on your Mum and every time she gets it wrong - zap. She will soon learn

Actually you may have come up with the reason there-my Mum comes from a family of 7 and her Mum used to run through all the girl's names before she got to the correct one for my Mum! Perhaps it is genetic?!!
