an obsession to get the right name Ombre (shadow) was chosen because as a puppy she followed hubby while he was doing the critter chores outside, just like a fluffy white shadow. It was an obvious name based on her own behavior; but our neighbors have a dog named Shadow, so we had to get creative and make it a translation.
Fortunately, the neighbor's dog doesn't understand French (at least the way we pronounce it) and doesn't respond to "Ombre", so there's no conflict. Nancy
