Pu-Push Actually, I'd write it poupouche in French but it would sound completely different when pronounced in English so I went for the closest

Awesome, thanks! Please give Pupush a scritches from me

I love their name. Do they have a sibling named Pupull? Does the name Pupush have a special meaning?

From where I come from we would say "poupouche" for something cute No idea for the siblings though

Thanks for explaining. They are indeed "something cute"

Ya know... you can take down the curtains as often as you'd like, yet they won't call you "curtain take-down".

You can fall off the bed every day, yet they won't call you "bed fall".

But imitate a dung beetle one time....
