Huffle's boyfriend

I was so nervous but he said yes! Who said the girls couldn't ask the boys? I'd like you all to meet my gorgeous boyfriendcat, MrSippi!

Isn't he handsome?

And don't worry, my best friend Zim told MrSipppi he had to look after me or else! If he doesn't treat me like a princess I am sure the HULA pups will chase him.

Visitor

My friend Sweet Praline's mum has gone on holiday and left her all alone. So, she snuck on a plane and came to visit me! She wanted to see some Australian things so we went to the zoo.

Here we are posing with a kangaroo:

Next we climbed a tree to see this koala (but he was asleep):

And then we posed with this echidna. Don't worry, they're not really that big. It's just a tricky photo!

Thanks for visiting me Praline! I hope you had a good holiday. I'll be over to your place later for the house trashing party! And we'd like to mention the lovely weather we had while Praline was here: a cool 13 deg C each day. We have a nice heater at home so Praline and I shared that and scared poo-face Salvador off.

Award!

My friends Thor, Marco Polo, Mama, Carolina and MrSippi, and my new friends Kayka K and Maebe Baebe gave me an award! It's the Blogging Friends Forever Award and I am very proud to receive it.

Okay the rules are: I give this award to five friends (and only 5) who are dedicated followers of my blog. And one has to be a new blogger in a different part of the world. And I link back to whoever gave me this award. So I will give this to:

• Zimmie and Amber - Zimmie is my best friend! And if I was a real Husky (not just an honorary one) I'd want to look just like Amber
  
• Edda - she's a black cat and new to the blogging world AND she lives in Montana which is the other side of the world to me
• Turbo - our future president and the dog who made me an Honorary Husky
• Pablo - I found out recently that he lives in the next state and he always comments on my blog so he must be a dedicated follower :)

That equals five so I am done. Thanks again to my lovely friends for giving me this award.

Help is on the way

My best friend Zimmie emailed me the other day and offered to find me a new body guard, since Polie didn't work out. I said yes please, and look! My new bodyguard is on the way. If anypup or kitty has a suggestion for his name, please leave me a comment or email!

Also, if anyone knows where to find sunglasses that are small enough for Mr Mouse to wear while he is on protective detail, I'd be pleased to know! Thankyou.

Special Sunday

Miss Fluffy Tail herself has given out some awards! She said: this one is for ALL the SMS bloggers! Please sit up and take a (play)bow fur your kindness and khoncern fur each other without having to worry about staying on topikh!

Since I am now an honorary member of the SiberMal Society (because I am an honorary husky), Khyra said I should accept this award too! Thanks Khyra!

Roger left on his secret mission on Friday. I can't say where he has gone in case mum reads my blog. I'll let you know when he arrives at his destination though!

Needs Meme

My friend Sweet Praline tagged me for this earlier in the week, but mum and I had a few issues trying to get a sensible response! Here are the rules:

All you have to do is Google your first name with the word "needs" behind it and post the results. Don't forget to tag (if you are the tagging sort)! So we Googled "Huffle needs" and here are some of the results...

I think Google thought I meant "shuffle" because we got a lot of those results!

Does the iPod Shuffle need protection? This is a silly question! I don't have an iPod shuffle!

Huffle Nursery School opened in September 1981. Wow, there's a school named after me!

Families need not worry about shuffle. Well no, why would they?

iPod shuffle? My daughter's needs... I don't have a daughter. How would I know what she needs?

Monday random shuffle: Mars needs guitars. Well of course it does. Everybody needs guitars. And since I am the resident DJ at the House of Huffle, it makes perfect sense.

Since they were all a bit silly, we decided to try my real name, Stella. Here are the results:

Stella needs a caption in the dishwasher no no, it wasn't me, I swear!

Stella needs to get her groove back I don't think so, I am DJ Huffle, I have plenty of groove

Stella needs to stop crying But I wasn't!

Stella needs our vote It's true, then I can delegate them to Tubey in the presidential election

Stella needs a home NO! I have a lovely home. I'm not going anywhere.

It's too early!

Go away, I'm sleeping.

Secret mission

I am sending Roger on a secret mission.

"So Roger, this is what I want you to do..."


What mum? No, I'm not doing anything.

Do-It-Yourself Chin Scratches

If there's no one around to give you chin scratches, here are some handy tips to show you how to do it yourself. Any pup or kitty can try this at home.

First, find a good height coffee table. Make sure that poo-face Salvador is not on top of the coffee table to jump on your head when you least expect it.

Second, make sure it is a nice colour to match your fur.

Third, use the corner to scratch your chin!

If your mum is not as useless as mine, she will think you are being cute and give you scratches of your own.

(Mum's note: thank doG for dark furniture! My white kitchen wall corners have not fared so well.)

Gardening with Huffle

My best friend Zimmie is very good at gardening and I have been paying attention to what he says. Here are my efforts in the garden.

Here I am not looking at the camera (have to keep up my practice under Stormy's tutelage):

Here I am attacking the grass:

Here I am hiding in the bushes again:

And here I am sitting pretty for mum, because she took about 65 photos to get these ones:

Invader

I was happily sitting, having a bath... (notice the extra foot has reappeared, growing out of my head again)

When I spotted something suspicious behind me...

Hey, where did that come from?

I'll get you, you pesky tail. How dare you follow me around?

Ha, gotcha!

What mum? What do you mean, "it's attached to me"?
Oh. Okay.

Isn't that a lovely bit of honorary husky fluff on the floor there?

Sunday out on the balcony

During the winter, I don't get to go out on mum and dad's bedroom balcony because it's really cold. They don't like to open the door and let all the cold wind in. But yesterday, I sat next to the door and looked at mum all sad until she gave in!

Here I am about to leap up on the railing:

Don't worry, mum doesn't let me get up there because the railing is round and I wouldn't be able to get my balance, even though I am a black explorer cat.

I was annoyed with mum for taking more photos of me so I stuck my tongue out at her for this one!

Huffle's new job

I got a new job. Mum is always cooing over Dave and his Guide Dog for the Colour Blind gig so I thought I should do something to help mum out.

I am the new DJ in the house of Huffle! Here I am choosing which CDs should be played next.

Unfortunately, mum woke me up when I was having a nap yesterday - as you can see I wasn't too happy about it:
My friend Angus wanted to know what my name means. I have talked about it briefly before but here is the long-winded version. When mum and dad adopted me from the Cat Protection Society, I didn't have a name, just a number. Dad spent a week trying to figure out a name that suited me, and eventually chose Stella (it had to start with "s" because of poo-face Salvador). So my real name is Stella. But eventually, once I had started relaxing after I realised that I was in my fur-ever home and safe, I started exploring. I huff at things I don't understand, or don't like, and mum had been watching the Harry Potter films and started calling me Hufflepuff. That got shortened to Huffle. My second name is Mawson, because I am an explorer cat. Mum calls me nosy. I am just interested in things. Like Mawson the antarctic explorer.

I forgot to say that the spare foot that was growing out of my head has magically disappeared. I think Thor and Marco Polo came over in the middle of the night and chewed it off. I'm glad to be rid of it, it was attracting a lot of unnecessary attention.

HELP!

Why is there a foot growing out of my head???
Somepuppy help me!

I'd like to thank Thunder and Stormy for awarding me the Brillante Weblog Premio 2008 Award! Thanks pups, it's an honour!
