The shelter had given her the oh-so-creative name of "Powder".
Not that I'm so-creative.
My 16 year old cat - rescued from a tree when he was a kitten - is T.C. - "The Cat".
It works. He seems to like it.
Back to the dog. She needed something better than "Powder".
"nimosh" is Ojibwe for dog.
"animosh" is a "western dialect" and I thought it sounded a little more "feminine".
"wa" = white.
Hence - "waanimosh" = White Dog.
More or less.
It works.
She seems to like it.
