Journaling: We adopted Chinook from the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society when he was 5 ½ months old. He came with the name Casey, but we didn’t think the name fit him. So I looked through a book I have, “Indian Legends of the Pacific Northwest,” by Ella E. Clark and came up with the name Chinook.

Chinook (ch nook’) – 1. A tribe on the Washington side of the mouth of the Columbia River. 2. A jargon made up of Indian, English, and French words, used chiefly for trade. 3. (sh nook’) A warm southwest wind of the Pacific Northwest.
