Now that Domingo and I know a few words in each other's native language, we find inventive ways to use our small vocabulary. Today when the vet arrived he carried w/ him a very distinctive smell. I went back into the milking parlor. My Spanish includes some easy phrases, some common animals, and colors.
I did my best ¿Cómo se dice un gato negro y blanco? ("How do you say a black and white cat?") Domingo looked a little puzzled until I held my nose w/ two fingers. Comprehension brought a smile to his face, "Un zorillo." ... and that's how you say "skunk" in Spanish.
