Parting is such sweet sorrow.Dear Huffle Mawson
<br />
<br />
Thank you for allowing us to adopt you seven years ago, when you had spent so many months in the shelter, no-one looking at you because you were black, and shy.
<br />
<br />
Thank you for making us laugh with your antics. From the time you "caught" the gecko, to the time you actually caught the dragonfly, and that one time you caught a fly with your paw and couldn't quite believe it, and lifted up your paw to check, only to let the fly get away.
<br />
<br />
Thank you for always politely asking for ham (every single day) and for loving prawns nearly as much as ham - actually I think you loved prawns more than ham, but they were a special infrequent treat.
<br />
<br />
Thank you for being the conduit to making so many wonderful friends all around the world. It was wonderful to see so many of your friends post lovely tributes to you on their blogs in the last couple of weeks.
<br />
<br />
Thank you for being the sweetest kitty to grace our lives. Huffledad and I are going to miss you so much.
<br />
<br />
Love, Mum and Dad

<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone for your kind words over the passing of our dear Huffle. We are just heartbroken, even more so because it happened while we were away. We take comfort in the fact Huffle was with her grandpa, whom she loved so much, at the very end. She did not suffer. And she knew she was loved for the seven years she lived with us, although we could not make up for the first five years of her life that were so hard.
<br />
<br />
Huffle was a special girl, and leaves a big hole in our hearts.
<br />
<br />
Teddy is adjusting to life as an only cat. He will continue blogging next year, but on his own blog: <a href="http://teddywestlife.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Teddy Westlife - Don't Bite</a>. I'll be moving over his posts from Huffle's blog slowly over the coming weeks.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I have two pieces of news for you.
<br />
<br />
First, mum and dad are going overseas next week. You would think they would get over this travelling thing they like to do, but no. They're going to Papua New Guinea, for anyone who cares (I certainly don't). The Goon and I will be looked after by our grandparents. Grandpa said he was happy to mind me but he wasn't so sure about Teddy. HA! Teddy is also not welcome back at Boot Camp so I have to put up with him.<br />
<br />
Second, we are going to be moving house again! Not until late December, but another move. I have spent the last year spreading my furs around this house and making it just nice (including some impressive vomit stains on the new carpet) and now I'm going to have to do it all over again in a new house! Dad says this move will be our last one for a long time, I certainly hope he means that.
<br />
<br />
So our posting will be even more spotty than usual, but maybe next year we can get back into some kind of routine. Wouldn't that be nice?Teddy Westlifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369207426642080006noreply@blogger.com158tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768155594353240120.post-33624787927846751482012-11-01T07:00:00.000+11:002012-11-01T07:00:00.642+11:00Not a good cat at allTeddy tried to tell you all how awesome he is and how clever and funny and cute... but he left out all the stuff where he behaves like a complete doofus.<br />

<br />
So I hope you will all stay and party! I heard a rumour there's even kitten food around for the youngsters (not that I have been able to find it).

I threw up five times in one day and that is a lot for any kitty. I also cried a bit when dad picked me up. Dad was very worried about me (so was mum) so I had to go to the dreaded vet the next day. I peed on the carrier while dad tried to put me in it, so he knows how I feel about that.<br />
<br />
The vet weighed me, and I am getting smaller! I only weight 2.95kg which is not very much at all. I also have a dodgy hip (that is the technical term for it) from when I was badly treated as a young cat. The vet says I am starting to get arthritis in my hip as well which makes me feel sick and very sore and tired.<br />
<br />
So now I get to eat kitten food, which is the best food ever. I am allowed to eat as much as I want because I am a bit on the skinny side. Teddy is not allowed to eat any of my kitten food, despite his best efforts. I also had a course of Meloxicam on my food, which I didn't really like but it seems to have helped as yesterday I sprinted up and down the hallway all day, having fun. I am feeling much better now.<br />
<br />

<br />
AND I caught a mouse last week! Well, Teddy caught a mouse and brought it in the house and let it go. At 2am. Mum and dad were much less excited than I was, especially since I caught it all by myself! I wasn't happy when dad took it from me either.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://fivecatflyer.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Slash and Bronzy</a> are Melbourne kitties like me. Their mum is from Singapore and needs to return home temporarily to deal with visa issues. She does not want to uproot Slash and Bronzy for a short time and have them fly to another country and be in quarantine for what may be only a few weeks. Do you know of anyone in Melbourne who might be willing to foster Slash and Bronzy for 1 - 3 months?<br />
<br />

(Bronzy on the left, Slash on the right)<br />
<br />
If their mum ends up having to stay in Singapore for much longer, then she would arrange for them to fly there too.<br />
<br />
We don't have the space and Teddy would go ballistic if there were another two cats in the house, otherwise we'd take them here. Can anyone help?

<br />
<br />
The Bronze medal is awarded to: Genji Chan! The judges said they spent a lot of time looking at the photo and couldn't tell where Genji stopped or started. Congratulations Genji!
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The Silver medal is awarded to: Tater Tot! Our judges said it was the look on Tater Tot's face that sealed the deal. Well done Tater Tot!
<br />

<br />
<br />
And finally, the gold medallist for Competitive Napping in 2012 is: Mr Darcy! What the judges want to know is, did you eat the mouse that was attached to that laptop? Congratulations Mr Darcy!<br />
<br />
I also want to say thank you to everyone who submitted a photo. There are some very creative nappers out there in the Blogosphere. I'd also like to thank the judges, who could not be bribed in any way even though I tried. Thanks to my mum for putting together the posts for last week - it was a very big job. And finally, thank you to everyone who hosted an event during these Olympics. It was even bigger than 2010 and now I think I shall sleep until it's time for the Winter Games in 2014.Teddy Westlifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369207426642080006noreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768155594353240120.post-36847533318387740882012-08-03T07:00:00.000+10:002012-08-03T07:00:00.807+10:00Competitive Napping Event Day 5Welcome to the final day of competition! We still have a few entries to get through so let's get started.<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://www.oskarsblog.com/">Chloe</a>. She seems to have made quite the nest for herself behind the cushion on the couch there.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613485466/" title="Chloe by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Chloe" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8434/7613485466_73df2b2e9f_z.jpg" width="424" /></a>
<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://savetheboxers.blogspot.com/">Casey the Boxer</a>. Jaunty scarves seem to be all the rage at the moment, don't they?
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://mayziegal.wordpress.com/">Mayzie Gal</a>'s brother Capn Ripley, who is over the Bridge. But we had to let this entry in. I mean, just look at it.
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here, <a href="http://pumpkinpuddy.com/">Candy</a> is doing double duty by napping, AND spreading furs all over the clean clothes. Multitasking as its best.
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next up is <a href="http://sweetpurrfections.blogspot.com/">Brulee</a>. I don't think I've ever seen so much floof on one cat. Teddy isn't even in her class.
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's Brinskey Winksey from the <a href="http://kissa-bull.blogspot.com/">Houston Pittie Pack</a>. Sleeping on your human is always more comfortable, I think.
<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://atailof3kittehs.blogspot.com/">Jasper</a> submitted this photo of his friend Bogey (because Bogey doesn't have a blog). This is totally awesome.
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's young <a href="http://thepoupounette.blogspot.fr/">Bibi-Chan</a>, in a non-Houbibi moment. I believe those are Tommy's legs behind him too.
<br />

<br />
<br />
Um, <a href="http://whisppy.blogspot.com/">Bernie</a>, I think there may be more comfortable places to sleep? And where do you put your food?
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613483032/" title="Bernie by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Bernie" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7140/7613483032_1d82b17207_z.jpg" width="466" /></a>
<br />
<br />
It's monorail cat! No, it's just <a href="http://catscats-catrina.blogspot.com/">Ben</a>, napping on the banister. High degree of difficulty here!
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613482868/" title="Ben competitive napping on banister by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Ben competitive napping on banister" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7276/7613482868_7c555f5fcf_z.jpg" width="480" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Oh <a href="http://www.hounddogmom.blogspot.com/">Bella</a>. You look so comfortable there. I think.

<br />
<br />
I just love this photo of <a href="http://www.atonkstail.com/">Allie</a> with her pink toes, having a spa day in the sun. Too cute for words.

<br />
<br />
And finally, last but definitely not least, Aimee, making herself comfortable and making sure the human doesn't get much room. Way to go, Aimee.
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613481476/" title="Aimee by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Aimee" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8017/7613481476_3ebc6b023c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>

<br />
And there you have it. All the entries for Competitive Napping. It's been a massive week of competition and now the judges will retire over the weekend and make their decisions.

<br />
<br />
This is Horatio Petrushka Nutkin, from the <a href="http://www.cherrycitykitties.com/">Cherry City Kitties</a>. Are pizza boxes really that comfortable? Enquiring kitties want to know.
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://gospelofgoose.blogspot.com/">Goose</a>. I think there's a story about those ears we need to hear!

<br />
<br />
Here's young <a href="http://thepoupounette.blogspot.fr/">Genji</a> from the Chans in France. Is it just me or does he look like a kangaroo here?
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's <a href="http://twodevoncats.blogspot.com/">Flynn</a>. It kind of looks like he's doing ballet in his sleep, doesn't it?

<br />
This is <a href="http://corycattalks.blogspot.com/">Figaro and Ellie</a>. At least, I think there are two cats in this picture.
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://pumpkinpuddy.com/">Pumpkin Puddy</a>. You might think, she's in a stroller, so what? But she's AT BlogPaws in a massive crowd! It takes talent to nap in that situation.
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://kweecats.blogspot.com/">Domino</a>. I wonder if Domino was inspired by Snafu's medal-winning performance two years ago?

Does Miss <a href="http://theadventuresofscarlettandmelly.blogspot.com/">Melly Hamilton Weekes</a> really need an introduction? I thought not.

<br />
<br />
Here's <a href="http://www.atonkstail.com/">Maxwell</a> showing us all what to do when the dreaded suitcases come out. I might try this next time my mum and dad think about going away.

<br />
This is Leo from the <a href="http://celestialkitties.blogspot.com/">Celestial Kitties</a>. Some of those paws are facing the wrong way. I'm just not sure which ones.

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.glogirly.com/">Katie</a> has been having a massive few weeks, what with her Petties nomination and the big week of giveaways, so it's no wonder she needed a nap.

Armani is a gorgeous mancat, but he really shouldn't be sleeping in <a href="http://www.jbssmallworld.blogspot.com/">JB</a>'s pink bed, should he?

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://atailof3kittehs.blogspot.com/">Jasper</a>. He feel asleep in his mum's arms. So adorable! Jasper is fairly new to blogging and doesn't have many friends yet so drop in and say hi to him!

Well that's it for day three. Are you exhausted yet? I sure am! See you tomorrow.Teddy Westlifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369207426642080006noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768155594353240120.post-32329475779695251722012-07-31T07:00:00.000+10:002012-07-31T07:00:04.345+10:00Competitive Napping Event Day 2I hope you're all ready for another round of some excellent napping. I'm really glad that someone else is doing the judging; there's no way I can choose between you all!<br />
<br />
First up today are <a href="http://beagle-home.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Shiloh and Shasta</a>. Is there anything cuter than a pile of sleepy beagles?<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613506970/" title="Shiloh'n Shasta by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Shiloh'n Shasta" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7261/7613506970_38fe986bff_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
This is the beautiful <a href="http://thepoupounette.blogspot.fr/">Sei-Chan</a>, showing off those pink toes. Teddy is very obsessed with toes and is quite overcome by this picture.
<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://alasandra2003.blogspot.com/">Scylla</a>, I can here all the parents squeeing from here! Look at that belleh!
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next up is <a href="http://sargespeaksout.blogspot.com/">Sarge</a>, accessorising with a toy and a jaunty scarf. So stylish!
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://animalsheltervolunteer.blogspot.com/">Sammy</a>. My mum was ready to give him the gold medal when this picture arrived! Lucky she's not judging, that's all I can say.
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://www.roosdoins.com/">Roo</a>. I'm pretty sure I don't need to add any commentary here.
<br />

<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://floppytonguejoy.blogspot.com/">Reuben</a>. Has anyone else ever bitten their tongue in their sleep? Or is that just my mum.
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613504126/" title="Reuben by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Reuben" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7260/7613504126_20df426550_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
I always love a good bit of sitting-up-sleeping, as demonstrated by <a href="http://raisingrama.blogspot.com/">Rama</a> here. By the way, even though Rama looks like Mango Man, Rama is actually a cane corso (pronounced kah-nay korso). So handsome!
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613502518/" title="Rama by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Rama" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8425/7613502518_1e76bb5b49_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://pumpkinpuddy.com/">EK</a>, blissed out in the sun. Heavenly.
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613502108/" title="EK by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="EK" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8017/7613502108_2952ff0228_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Look at Peter, from <a href="http://daphnex.blogspot.com/">Purrchance to Dream</a>. My mum is a sucker for those curled paws.
<br />

<br />
<br />
Obviously watching TV proved too much for <a href="http://pasha-the-kitty.blogspot.com/">Pasha</a>. But look at the belleh floof!
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613501730/" title="Pasha by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Pasha" height="296" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8165/7613501730_dce405c18f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Next up we have <a href="http://www.oskarsblog.com/">Oskar</a>. I think that might be Moe in the background if you look carefully too. Oskar loves a mound of quilts like nothing else.
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613501204/" title="Oskar by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Oskar" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8013/7613501204_5bb62f5eab_z.jpg" width="424" /></a>
<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://wildcatwoodscats.blogspot.com/">Only</a>, from the Wild Cat Woods clan. I'm pretty sure that sitting up AND having crossed paws while sleeping scores very highly.
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613500906/" title="Only by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Only" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8002/7613500906_d7195d022c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://www.purrfecthaven.blogspot.com/">Mr Darcy</a>. I'm speechless.
<br />

<br />
This is <a href="http://www.purrfecthaven.blogspot.com/">Mr Bingley</a>. Can you tell he and Mr Darcy are related?

<br />
Well, that's it for day two of competition. We have three more days of excellent competitors to come! See you tomorrow.Teddy Westlifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369207426642080006noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768155594353240120.post-79332143501501730242012-07-30T07:00:00.000+10:002012-07-30T07:00:02.698+10:00Competitive Napping Event Day 1Let's Get Ready to Rumble! Um... quietly. That's right, it's competitive napping time!<br />
<br />
This is how it's going to work. Today, and over the following four days, I am going to post all the entries for competitive napping. They will be posted in reverse alphabetical order, so if you had more than one entry from your family, they may not necessarily appear together. <br />
<br />
Then NEXT Monday, the medal ceremonies will be held. HuffleDad and my bestest friend Zimmie's mum will be the impartial judges.<br />
<br />
First up, we have Zoey from <a href="http://zoolatry.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Zoolatry</a>. Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613515032/" title="Zoey Zoolatry by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Zoey Zoolatry" height="404" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8142/7613515032_d96086b091_z.jpg" width="522" /></a><br />
<br />
Next up is Zoey (and Harley) from <a href="http://zeezoey.com/blog" target="_blank">ZeeZoey</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613514800/" title="Zoey and Harley by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Zoey and Harley" height="356" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8282/7613514800_2df7405300_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
Those crossed back paws give Zoey a certain edge, don't you think?<br />
<br />
Our next competitor is <a href="http://www.hounddogmom.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Winston</a>. If this isn't napping of the finest order, I don't know what is.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613513194/" title="Winston by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Winston" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8282/7613513194_82b7d7f761_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Next up is tortie girl <a href="http://willow-tortiewillow.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Willow</a>. Boy does she know how to nap in style!<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613512440/" title="Willow by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Willow" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8146/7613512440_141a2ac082_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Here are <a href="http://whisppy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Whisky and Ling</a>, they're not synchronised but they're napping alright!<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613511792/" title="WhiskyandLing by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="WhiskyandLing" height="517" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8430/7613511792_437b1ff529_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Next up, <a href="http://justustexasdachsies.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Weenie and Mona</a>, the Texas dachsies. That is some serious napping going on right there.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613511570/" title="WeenieMona by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="WeenieMona" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7135/7613511570_6508b564ce_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
What I'd like to know is, how does <a href="http://www.greatdanetucker.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tucker</a> the great dane manage to make such a small nap pile? Where are the legs?<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613511274/" title="TuckerGreatDane by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="TuckerGreatDane" height="336" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8148/7613511274_03f9db55f1_o.jpg" width="448" /></a>
<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://mickeytheblackcat.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Treasure</a>. I didn't know windows could be used as a prop for sleeping!
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613511162/" title="Treasure by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Treasure" height="301" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8154/7613511162_e21a667a5f_o.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Next up, a stylish French competitor - <a href="http://thepoupounette.blogspot.fr/" target="_blank">Tommy</a> from the Chans. Sleeping with a prop is very clever, Tommy!<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613510936/" title="TommyChan by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="TommyChan" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8291/7613510936_dfcd85a81d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Now, this is <a href="http://floppytonguejoy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Reuben</a>'s cousin Tater Tot. This is one of the most impressive sleeping positions I've seen in a long time. (if you don't know Reuben, his entry is coming up in the next day or two)<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613510444/" title="TaterTot by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="TaterTot" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8424/7613510444_0812da9da1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://pasha-the-kitty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sweet</a>. It's a bit hard to fault her name, isn't it? Look at those paws!<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613509866/" title="Sweet by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Sweet" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7262/7613509866_fc7954e180_z.jpg" width="446" /></a><br />
<br />
This is Star from the <a href="http://celestialkitties.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Celestial Kitties</a>. I'm pretty sure her back end is higher than her head. How does she not get a head rush??
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613508938/" title="StarCelestialKitties by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="StarCelestialKitties" height="474" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7123/7613508938_ef0829b516_z.jpg" width="639" /></a><br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://alasandra2003.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Socks</a>. Helping the human with their work, no doubt. Good job, socks!
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613508782/" title="Socks by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="Socks" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7130/7613508782_ac02f8f752_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
This is Sneaky Pie from the <a href="http://kweecats.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kwee Cats</a>. Look at that head tilt!
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hufflemawson/7613508112/" title="SneakyPieCompNap by Huffle Mawson, on Flickr"><img alt="SneakyPieCompNap" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7133/7613508112_9cc04864b4_z.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://atailof3kittehs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jasper</a> submitted this picture of behalf of Smokey, who doesn't have a blog. Just as well, because look at that napping form!
<br />

<br />
Mum keeps telling me to get my floof in order but I just don't know what she's talking about.<br />
<br />
Are you ready for the Olympics? There are less than two weeks to go now!<br />
<br />
Huffle says we got a message from her web host saying the mailbox was nearly full so if you submitted a picture and didn't get a reply from her please try again. Also, if you wanted to enter but missed the deadline you can have until this Wednesday (July 18) to get your entries in.Teddy Westlifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369207426642080006noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768155594353240120.post-19457455996027254842012-07-09T07:00:00.000+10:002012-07-09T07:00:01.479+10:00Monday Movie MadnessI started out trying to attack the bathmat. I do not like that bathmat and I attack it every single day. I think I'm slowly beating it into submission.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I suddenly realised that my tail, known as Something Like Bob, was being naughty! So I had to try and teach Something Like Bob a lesson.<br />
