Thanks everyone..keep em coming..we're all debating them as they come through on here and FB.

K...you did make me laugh as I was looking at the most popular names for female Schnauzers and Muffy was right in there lol...Heidi was up there as well Mau lol

So far I like...Harper (after Harper Lee who wrote my fav book To Kill A Mockingbird...my old lady collie was called Scout so it ties them together a bit)

Enid/Elsie....cos I think she looks a bit like those names)

Matilda (not to be shortened to Tilly as I've had a Tilly but if shortened Tilda or Matty) but I'm guessing i'll be outvoted on all of them *sighs* so I need as many as poss !!! x

Oh, if only I had got here in time.

You have just named your dog for the man who is about to embark on his plan to destroy Canada, à la Maggie Thatcher, only nastier.

Well, don't blame Canada if you get bit on the bum! :-D

I''m not anti thatcher and as I'm English I don't read of your man anyhow.

Actually prefer Harper to Storey now so it's all good :-D

That's nice, Muffy.

I'm sure the English don't know what South Park is, either ...

... and I'm pretty sure that's Maggie I see singing in the chorus behind Robin Williams there ...



But then I'm Canadian so I wouldn't know who she is.

The link on YouTube is to the Oscar-winning song "Blame Canada", from the South Park movie.

Refer back to my first post.

Non-Canadians generally don't get the song, although it was written ostensibly for a USAmerican audience.

I shall try very hard in future not to engage in the rather famous Canadian quirk of being funny, if it makes everybody happier. :-D
