Zoomba part 5 (EN): "Zoomba"

→ Nederlandse versie

Now we needed a name. Of course two syllabes, for easy yelling. And, something Spanish.

Shall we call her Banjer too, i.e. Ban-ger, as the Spanish would say? Hmm. Naming a dog after your previous one seemed tacky.

She looks like a fox, a bit. What is fox in Spanish? Zorro. Nice! And a female fox is a "Zorra". Better!

What else. She sleeps like a log. What would "snoring" be in Spanish? We looked up the Dutch word "ronken", which turned out to be "zumbar". And her name from then on was: "Zoomba".

In retrospect we are happy we did not call her Zorra, apparently that is what the Spanish call a very greedy lady, according to our teacher Spanish.
