Ah. "Lay on, Macduff" and so on. I'd assumed the name (the schnoodle's name)
was (came from the) Irish. Duff is rather a nice name for her, I think, though
I like Duffy too.
"I'm
sure Susan, if not Duffy, would be insulted to learn that someone from
Wales has absconded with her heroic dog's namesake's name. "
it is a bit much to be associated with the Welsh Duffy!

Judy, Thanks for clearing that up. My wife's maiden name was Susan
McWherter. McWherter is of the Buchanan clan, so I have been told. She
decided to give her lapdog a Scottish heroic name and hit upon MacDuff, "the
mighty hero who slew Macbeth." Also, Duff has the meaning "black" in its root
some place; which seemed appropriate to her black Schnoodle. MacDuff belonged
to the Duff clan or subclan; so Susan gave me permission to call her heroic
lapdog MacDuff or Duff but she was going to call him Duffy. I'm sure Susan,
if not Duffy, would be insulted to learn that someone from Wales has absconded
with her heroic dog's namesake's name. Lawrence From:

Duffy, singer-songwriter. (I try to avoid her.) I assume Buffy's the vixen.
Indeed, Donal wasn't insulting Duffy the Schnoodle.

Date: Friday, 31 December, 2010, 21:26Veronica, If Donal was insulting my
photos and occasional comments, he was too subtle by far -- at least for me.
Duffy is male. Ginger and Sage are female; so what would the Welsh Winehouse
pertain to? And what vampire is given the name Duffy? I puzzled briefly over
this note, but took my cue from the postscript and assumed it had something to
do with Eric's comments on "the least political of the arts" discussion. Try
as I may, I cannot see Duffy being insulted in anything Donal has
written. Lawrence From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

order. Duffy is a precious love. Really. You are just jealous because she is
so cute and you sir, well, to be charitable, only half as cute. Perhaps a
drink to go with Mozart to ease your pain? Veronica ----- Original Message
