Yesterday marked the one year Adoptionversary of my sweet Yorkie Princess LilyBelle. I thought I would take this opportunity to post an "ode" sans poem in her honor.
You may be wondering.... "who is Ma Fuche"? Well, in my family, that is the term used for a dog that isn't 'manly'. The term Ma is one that is used as an East Coast French Canadian vernacular of respect for an older "grannish" type matron. Fuche is a mocking sort of prim affluent type last name for the region. Kinda like- Paris Hilton meets her 80's....
Being the first female born to the Godin in name in 5 generations, in childhood I was frequently bombarded with terminology like that. The testosterone runs thick in the veins of the Godin men. They are very much interested in things of the manly nature and have very little concern for things of a feminine nature and--- unmanly dogs. The term is derogatory, in a good humor sort of way.. BUT I have made it into my little nick name for my sweet pet!
I am not all about April Fools. I know- Terrible spoilsport me. This year it marks the 10th anniverary of my cousin Gabe's death. Last year, to help me not fall into a terrible depressive catatonia- my husband agreed to LET me have Ma Fuche. (I still think of my dear cousin every day of my life, multiple times a day. He is sorely missed. I do have faith that we will be together again someday. The waiting is just really hard.) She has been my comfort, protector, friend and pain in the ass for this last year. I hope for 24 more! With out further ado- the Ma Fuche Picture book.
