Anyway, not being certain about the word "puka", I took an on-line journey through a few dictionaries, According to the dictionaries I read, a "puka" is a type of small(ish) tree native to New Zealand with dark green leaves; or, a settlement somewhere in southern Estonia; or, naturally-occurring bead-like objects formed by snails in Hawaii and used by the natives to make jewelry; or (and my personal favorite), a Sri Lankan ass!

As for me...Harvey is the middle name of someone very dear to me....and he does have an eye-catching tail.....lol

Wikipedia wrote:The Púca (Irish for goblin) is a creature of Celtic folklore, notably in Ireland, the West of Scotland, and Wales. It is one of the myriad fairy folk, and, like many fairy folk, is both respected and feared by those who believe in it.

Other names for it include Pwwka, Pooka, Puka, Phouka, Púka, Pwca in Welsh, Bucca in Cornish, Pouque in Guernésiais, Glashtyn in Manx, and Gruagach. Similar terms in Germanic languages such as English words Puca or pucel, Pook or Puck, Norse language Puki, Frisian Puk are of an uncertain relationship (see Puck (mythology)).
