ArchivesRe: WHAT'S BEHIND THE NAME OF YOUR DOG (OR CAT)? -- FUN STUFF!
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Okay, this I gotta try...
How about a mutt, part beagle, with a color I can only describe as orange. Her name's Peanut (as in burnt peanuts)
Have fun!

Had to pull a few connections in to come up with some clues. Apparently Peanut is the offspring of Alaranjado Lebreiro, a member of travelling portugese knife-throwing act and Cacahuette, a now retired consomatrice of the infamous Follies Canichoises in Paris. Rescued from a gutter in shady neighborhood in the port of Piraeus by loving tourists, she is now leading a comfy existence in the US of A.
Her traumatic tribulations thoughout the world have earned poor Cacahuette deMel a well deserved "Cute Hecate medal".

Another Award...
Hmmm... A bit light on the schmaltz, but good! :)
I dunno about the "Cute Hecate Medal", but I do believe that you and I both deserve the "Lilith Bat-Truss" Award. ;)

a.k.a. "Lilith Star Bust" Award :))
As far as the Anagram Project is concerned, we definitely deserve
"This brutal list" Award.

"Mel's Orange Peanut"="Angeluma Peterson"
Your Peanut may be a mixed-breed beagle in this life, but in a previous existence she was a child born in the year 1880 to pioneer Peter T. Peterson (a blacksmith by trade who had emigrated to Michigan from Denmark in 1868) and his new wife Georgie (native to Michigan).
Sadly, it was a difficult birth for Georgie Peterson, and the baby was born not destined to survive. Knowing this, Peter and Georgie named their infant "Angeluma" -- which is a blending of the word "angel" and the Latin word "luma", meaning "light". She was their little angel of light, who brightened their world for an all-too-brief period.
You can verify the existence of the pioneering Peterson Family of 19th century Michigan by going to this website:

Little Angeluma is mentioned there as the sole child of the Peterson's, as Georgie Peterson was unable to have any more children after that difficult birth. The Petersons never fully recovered from the loss of their first and only child, and so they requested that local historians record them as having one child. Even though little Angeluma didn't live with the Peterson's in an earthly existence, she was still (in their eyes) always with them as their "angel of light".
Over a hundred years passed, before little Angeluma's soul chose to be reborn -- this time, as the little orange dog whom you've named "Peanut". Take good care of Peanut, she's your angel of light now. :)
