Harvest Season Again

It's the second harvesting of fledglings in the yard.  This crop this year has been bountiful with 1 nest of 3 in the early season, and another nest of 3 in the late season.

Loki 1 down, 2 to go

New HULA Members - Maggie and Cammie

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the newest members of the Husky United Liberation Army (HULA):  Cammie and Maggie!

This picture is ©KZKryschtal... you nab it and I will hunt you down!

It was a great honor when the original Ao4 submitted their application, and I had no doubt that Maggie and Cammie would also be members, and as you can see above, the sitzbank continues to be a "no husky zone" hehehehe.

You will have to journey on over to their blog to read their application, get to know them, see their adventures, and wallow in their glorious misadventures.

My only advice to young Maggie (who is my Prime Minister, by the way) is that you should mix up the whining freak human out sound with yips and yaps of great urgency... that way they don't start to ignore you.  I would also suggest you stare at something on the wall, or something behind the humans so they think there's a bug... or axe murderer behind them.

Way to go you two!  I'm very proud of your accomplishments, and I see nothing but devious things in your future!

Huffle Mawson, Until We Meet Again...

It isn't often you meet a kitty with style, grace, and beauty.  Most kitties are for chasing in the Siberian Husky world, but there is one kitty that captured our hearts and respect.

We mourn with soft sad woos over such a kitty.

Huffle Mawson, Explorer Cat

 Huffle Mawson was not only a famous explorer cat, but also a diplomat, friend, adventurer, and worthy of the title "Honorary Siberian Husky", the first for a kitty, and cherished member of the Husky United Liberation Army, another first for a kitty.

Huffle was a staunch supporter of MeeshkaWorld from the beginning.  Her wise counsel, exciting and fun adventures with ham and prawns enriched our world of livergreat and clawing.   She brought her side of the world much closer to ours and taught us that even if you live far away and are a kitty, we all have commonalities, experiences, and fun no matter where you are or what language you speak.

When we learned of her passing, we were very sad, but know that we will meet her again, along with all of our other friends who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge... she lives forever in our hearts until we do meet again.

Our condolences to her mom and dad, and the goon Teddy.  We will never look at ham or prawns without thinking of you Huffle.  Thank you for being our friend.

Huffle with her beloved Sardinie

The Thundershirt

As some of you may know, the Human Woman finally went and purchased 2 thundershirts lately.  She only "needed" one for me, but since the Mutatoe has to do everything like me, she had to buy him one so he wouldn't feel left out and cry like a girly dog when he didn't have a pretty dress to wear... he's so embarrassing.

So... in review:

• I don't like storms or fireworks.  
• I pee in the house when it thunders or loud fireworks goes off (my little way of saying "screw you loud noises", 
• and then I pant and pace and claw the Human Woman bloody.

Its fun.  She doesn't think so.  She has no sense of humor and really REALLY thin skin that bleeds a LOT.

Anyhoo, she heard all of these wonderful things about the Thundershirt™ and watched the videos all slack jawed and amazed, and immediately ordered 2 and had them shipped jiffy quick because we had a lot of storms and she was low of plasma.

Meanwhile we had some doozy storms and chaos, mayhem and lots of clawing.  When she wasn't being clawed, she was hitting the refresh button on the tracking number for the package.

FINALLY the Thundershirts arrived and... no storms.  Nothing.  Weeks went by, and no storms. 

Frankly, I was fine with that and was satisfied that the Thundershirt did its work by warding off all of the evil storms in the world.  Job well done... bravo.

Then last night...

The humans had just settled into bed early (because they're getting old and senile) and we pups had done our usual bed rearranging and space shifting and I was laying on my cold air vent when...

boooom

I knew it was thunder because the humans were whispering and turned the tv up.  They try to fool me into believing its a jet, or loud car, or that vroomy motorcycle thing, but

BOOOOOM

Yep, no doubt about it, it was thunder, so I jumped on the bed and began clawing and panting, as usual.

That's when the Human Woman pulled out the Thundershirt, and I made a dash for my life.  No way was I wearing that thing again.  She put it on me when it first arrived and I humored her, let her take a picture of me, post it on Facebook (where she CLAIMS she has friends) and bragged about how easy it was to put on.

She chased me with that thing into the kitchen, I ran around the kitchen table, she followed.  We ran around the kitchen table about 10 times with me in the lead, just out of her reach.  She tried the soothing screechy voice thing, but I wasn't fooled.  She grabbed a handful of those very tasty calming caramel things that she got from the pet store to bribe me with.  They are very tasty, but she can only give me 3 of them (per the label) and frankly I think I should get about... the whole bag... very tasty.  After the 15th circle around the table, she gave up all pretenses and just started cursing and using the "when I get ahold of you" voice, and I finally dashed into the living room and was going to hop into my crate (which is home free and they can't touch us), but the bitch had closed and locked the doors!  She's evil.

I dashed into the corner hoping to throw her off, but she followed and trapped me, and then there was no escaping it until she dropped the caramels by mistake and then it was GAME ON!

She's right... it does calm and soothe me during storms.  I had to lay down from exhaustion after all of that running and then clawing her while she was trapped.

Show Her You Care

On this Mother's Day, make sure you pay a lot of attention to your Human Woman

My World Events

Hello all!  Its been a very busy time here in Meeshka World.

I'm sure you've all heard in the news about a certain President taking credit for the elimination of a rather pesky person.  Pffft.  Of course that's all a silly lie.  We all know that humans are incapable of doing anything around here without the help of HULA. 

All I had to do was wave one of my delicate little feety feet and the matter was taken care of by my loyal HULA Hoop members.  About the only thing they did get right was the name of the reactionary force that took care of the matter: Seal Team 6.  They are making the team to be all secrety secret and go on and on about how they can't show their faces because they were so ultra mega mega top secrety secret and junk... but the real reason is because the humans are too ashamed to admit that they can't do anything right, and its the animal world that has to fix everything for them.

So, here is your first look at Seal Team 6:

Sergeant Bubbles is currently appearing undercover at Sea World in Orlando.  Check out his show, he actually juggles three beach balls!

Tantrum?

The Human Woman posted a video of me "throwing a tantrum".



It just shows you how feeble she is, I'm clearly trying to tell her that its been a whole 2 minutes since I had a treat and she needs to get off her lazy butt, put down the iPad, stop playing Angry Birds and feed me!

By the way, for the record: the only reason I would run and tell someone that gramps has fallen in the well is if gramps is holding a treat.

I'm glad I could clear that up.

Someone In Fulton County Has Good Taste

Every once in a while I do a Google search on myself to see who is saying what about me.  Its also a good way to find potential HULA members that I'm not aware of, and also add to my list of people that need to be clawed.

Imagine my surprise when I came across this tidbit of information.

Apparently some fine individual in District 39 of Fulton County, Georgia wanted me to be their state Senator!

The evidence is right here, and yes, I realize that someone else voted for Sam... but I don't think that counts because they didn't use his full name (Spineless Bionic hip/knee puppy Sam), therefore it was probably thrown out.

So, whoever you are in District 39 of Fulton County Georgia, a big woo out to you for your support.  Maybe we'll win in 2012 and as always, Livergreat for everyone!

On a personal note, I want to send a woo out to Millie of The Brat Pack.  It has come to my attention that she at one time aspired to become a HULA member, and was off to a good start by consuming mass amounts of pilfered spinach... but her Human Woman started shirking her blogging responsibilities and didn't follow up with documenting her HULA qualifications.  A note to the Brat Pack human woman:  no excuses now, get to it, or you'll get the claw!

- Meeshka

Update - I just realized that someone also voted for Loki, but once again, since it wasn't his official name (Mutatoe), I'm sure it was thrown out as well.

New HULA Members - Sparky and Patches

There are some pups who just jump right out at you and say "HULA" and Sparky did just that today with his amazing endeavors.

In just one day, Sparky has managed to encompass almost ALL of the HULA requirements, and he did so with flair!

First of all, he lives with a Human Woman named Kat... get it... like that isn't funny all by itself, but it gets better!  Yes, it actually gets better!

Sometime last night, Sparky and Patches ate an entire bag of uncooked rice.  Why?  Who cares, its funny, and it totally freaked out their human woman, who had to call a vet and explain what had happened. 

The icing on the HULA cake was this:

Yep, he killed a stuffie, and not only did he kill and shred the stuffie throughout the house, but when his Human Woman was cleaning it up... he dumped over her large caramel mocha coffee.  Bravo!  Way to add insult to injury, way to rub salt in the wound... BRILLIANT!!!!

I think its only fair, seeing how he's had to put up with this crap:

Not to ignore the contributions of Patches, who poses as a snuggle bug cutie pup most of the time:

He's actually a total nutcase that destroys the house if he's left alone without Sparky

Gosh, that's beautiful.

So, for all of your hard work and dedicated service to the global goal of driving humans insane... this HULA is for you!

New HULA Member: Teddy

Now, all of you may be wondering why a kitteh is being inducted into the HULA Hoop.  Cuz I said so, that's why... I mean, because every once in a while, your Queen has such a devious plan that sometimes she can't share the news with everyone until it needs to be told.

Its time to tell the tail of Teddy.

You see, Teddy is actually a very small husky puppy disguised as a kitteh.  Yep, this plot is so devious that I'm telling my whole entire world without fear that Teddy's owners will believe it!  Isn't that deliciously livergreat levels of evil!!!??!!!



Teddy "showed up" at the doorstep of Huffle's house one rainy day and put on an Oscar winning performance of pathetic homeless wet kitteh escapades, that Huffle's humans were totally fooled.  Huffle had been briefed beforehand and is still pretending to HATE Teddy, which is what we had planned all along.  While the humans are busy with Teddy and trying to make him more appealing to Huffle, Huffle is able to go about her covert activities without the humans watching her.  See just how EVIL this plan is???

Initially, Teddy was instructed to ensure that the humans would accept him into the household.  Using every minute of his extensive "How To Be Like a Kitteh" instruction, Teddy did cute kitteh things like:

The cute kitteh in the basket routine.  This always gets the humans, look how cute he is in the basket, isn't he adorable, how could we possibly throw him out into the cold cruel world aaaaaaawwww!

Once his humans took him to the vet (who couldn't find the ingenious zipper on the kitteh costume), and named him (his real name is "Majestic Snowgod of Powerderville" aka: Floofy), Teddy began to start his covert activities by:

Hiding in dark spaces waiting for the humans to walk by with bare feet so he could pounce on them and sink his razor sharp little costume kitteh claws into their flesh.

We did have a scary moment when Teddy was found doing this:

Yes, he's chewing on Huffle's human woman's shoes!  It was a true test of whether or not his covert actions would continue, because Huffle's human woman is a known shoe hoarder (with great taste), and we thought the jig was certainly up, because what kitteh actually chews on shoes.

Well, imagine our surprise when the reaction was not to boot Teddy out into the blistering Australian heat... or downpours... or flooding... seriously, who wants to live there... but anyhoo, nope.  Huffle's Human Woman simply got the camera and took a picture of Teddy... which is the ultimate moment of any husky's life and a true statement that we're fluffy and cute for a reason.

Welcome to the HULA Hoop dear Teddy.

Hoo That Funny Human Woman!

Wanna hear something funny?  Oh its a real knee slapper... if dogs had knees... well, we do have knees, its just a bit inconvenient to slap them when we laugh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate this real hoot of a funny story.

Yeah, so remember how I told you that Spineless Bionic hip/knee pup, Sam, was on antibiotics for a personal (sore pee pee) reason?  Yeah, and did I happen to mention that the specific antibiotics he was on is the very same antibiotics that I'm allergic to and make me horka if I have them?  Well, I may have neglected to mention that part, because why on earth would the human woman even bother to give me any of those pills, because they are for Sam and not for me and she knows that they make me horka?

Because the human woman is a moron and the other night while she was distracted with whatever delusional thoughts go on in that head of hers, she prepped us all some tasty livergreat and smooshed the Spineless pill in some livergreat and then gave us all our bits of mooshed livergreat and then said (wait for it, its a side splitter):

Wait a minute... where's Sam's pill?

Yep, that's right, she had no idea WHO she may have fed the livergreat smeared pill to!  Hello SPCA?

So what do you think the odds were that of three livergreat globs given to three dogs that the ONE dog that's allergic to the pill would get it... need a calculator for that one... want a hint?

I'm so freaking clawing her in her sleep.

I want another dinner now!

New HULA Member: Rocco!

I have fallen a bit behind on processing new HULA applications because of the snow... I'm sure all of woo will understand the delay.  Plus, don't forget, I have an inept Human Woman... that pretty much says it all.

Anywoo, somehow this little gem of an application got missed while processing others, and I want to give this pup some extra credit for making a tidy, concise HULA application via the interwebs on their blog.  For future HULA members, if you have a blog, please feel free to do your application there and send me the link, I'm fine with that, as it takes less work and we all know how I'm all about the less work (see part about inept Human Woman).

Now, onto a well deserved new HULA member: Rocco.

I am especially enamored by the taking over of the interwebs part... so Rocco will take a place in the covert interwebs takeover (which humans typically call "hackers", our HULA interwebs takeover branch is called "Horkers") to slowly take over the world for husky-kind.

Congratulations Rocco, and welcome to the HULA Hoop.  Please have your human contact my human woman at: meeshkaworld@gmail.com for your certificate (suitable for framing or snacking).

New HULA member: Pippa

Although now retired, in his day Pippa was a valued undercover operative to the HULA cause.

Since Pippa is now retired, its ok to reveal his wonderful deeds to the cause of global Siberian Husky world domination.

Pippa started his mission by finding two humans to take him in, and from there... all chaos ensued as Pippa dove into his undercover mission to drive his humans insane without their knowledge.

Pippa has been instrumental in uncovering the master cat plan of world domination and doing whatever necessary to thwart their mission.

Still striving for perfection even in retirement, Pippa still manages to get his toast, steal the couch, and demand things from his humans to keep them on their toes by looking at them with his sad eyes and melting their resolve until they give in to his every whim.

Yes, they dress him up in a silly raincoat, and yes he's modified their behaviors, driven them insane, and loved to rip up papers and stuffs in his heyday, so in his own quiet cover way, Pippa has oozed with HULA qualifications through the years with very little recognition (as all covert operatives must do until retirement).

For this, we thank him with a hearty woo of a job well done.

Meeshka

New HULA Members: The Thundering Herd

Yes, my pupfriends, its time to shine the HULA spotlight on the Thundering Herd!

I've received numerous excuses from the Thundering Herd's human man about not having the time to properly document the chaos and mayhem caused by the Herd, blah, blah, excuse, excuse, wah wah wah!  This only goes to show what exemplary HULA members the Herd is: keeping their Human Man from functioning properly in civilization.  I bet he can't even put his clothes in the spinny thing and make them smell like fake flowers and junk because he's always cleaning up after the Herd and their antics... BRAVO Herd!

Now, I don't want all of you to think that I'll just go and nominate HULA members on my own and do all of the research necessary to weed out your qualifications.  I'm much too busy for that (currently I'm gathering small bits of snow that are falling that was suppose to be a snowmageddon but got canceled because weather people are morons and need to be clawed.

Anyhoo, this is a once in a lifetime HULA nomination, because I need the Herd to concentrate on their operations to drive their humans insane (and they are close to being finished apparently).

HULA Qualifications
1. Demonstrating Disruptive Behavior
There's nothing better than having a bunch of you "act up" while on a peaceful walk with one human man... The Herd has perfected the whole "oh sure, we're well mannered huskies that obey your every command until we get you alone out in the middle of nowhere and then watch out" tactic.  This is only matched with the "wait until we get out in public and embarrass you" tactic.  You can also insist upon walking in between the Human Man's legs, like Rusty here.

2. Cause Humans to freak out for no real reason
Was accomplished on Christmas Eve by Queen Natasha, who ate something that didn't agree with her (probably a nice book) and was rushed to the puppy ER for treatment.  We are pleased to announce that she's back home giggling, and want to send a word of caution to other HULA wannabees: don't hurt yourself in your attempts to freak out your humans... but a vet run or two for non-serious things is not only fun, but expensive!

3. Destroy Something
Using the "eat an entire loaf of bread" as a diversionary tactic to destroy other things is the best way to accomplish maximum destruction.  Spineless Bionic Hip/Knee pup Sam totally approves of the consumption of bread products in this carefully coordinated sneak attack.  We also approve of stealing money.

4. Human behavior modification:
Making the humans erect barriers around the things they want to keep whole and then inconveniencing themselves in the process is a great trick.  What makes it even better is getting yourself into predicaments where the humans have to come to your rescue, or at the very least see why you are screaming at the top of your lungs as if scalded weasels were eating your eyes.  The only better maneuver is to completely defeat their attempts at blocking you, and giving them the finger.

5. Humans dress you up
I have found no evidence that the Human Man dresses up the Thundering Herd... probably because he knows better.  I approve.

6. Love of Kleenex
Although I'm sure there have been incidences of kleenex addiction, the Herd has mastered the "shredding of important paperwork" missions with style and pizazz, therefore I'll cut them some slack on no pictures or evidence of rolls of toilet paper snow throughout the household.

New HULA Member: Pele

Hi Meeshka,

This is Pele. I am a 1 year old Siberian Husky. I want to submit my application for membership in H.U.L.A. I believe that I have the traits to become a good member of your organization. Here are my qualifications:

1) Disruptive Behavior
Not sure what type of disruptive behavior you are looking for. My Human family call me Psycho Pup, I am the Queen of the Zoomies. I also torture my sister Siberian Husky Georgie. I can run circles around her. You can check out the video Mom posted to our blog.

As you can see in the video, I can run circles around, over and under Georgie. It is not really disruptive, but it is FUN.

I also steal the human teen girl's socks and run around the house with them. I do this so I can get a COOKIE.

2) Cause Humans to Freak Out For No Reason
These humans around here do not freak out so easily. It is really tough to get them to do this. The only time they - or I should say Mom - freaked out was when I got loose after they reconfigured the front gates. I slipped out under the fence that goes up the stairs. She was screaming, and screaming at me - until she remembered that I like COOKIES.

3) Destroy Something.
I am very good at this. There are numerous items I have destroyed, things like: socks, my beds, coasters, toothpicks, rug, I put a hole in the carpet and an assortment of other things. I also destroyed the sofa by using the back of it as a springboard when I get the zoomies. Again you can check out our blog to see some of the items I have destroyed.

Check the following blog archives as well:

• Psycho Pup Strikes Again. Here I destroyed one of Georgie Girl's stuffies.
• Pele vs the Bed. This is the second bed I destroyed. The first one was the one that use to belong to Magic Girl.
• The Other Bed is G-O-N-E. You will have to scroll to see this post. It is the third bed I destroyed.

4) Human Behavior Modification.
My humans modified their front gate so that we could go out front without a tie out. Well, I still have to use the stupid tie out because I can slip out under the fence. They tried to come up with some sort of idea on how to keep me in, but because it is an iron railing over concrete steps, they have not yet figured it out.

There is also a baby gate across the bottom of the stairs to keep me down on the first floor.
Also last years' Christmas Tree was modified because of me. Mom usually has this huge tree, all decorated in white (to symbolize snow and ice), but if you check out the blog archives, you will see the difference in the Christmas Trees.

• After Thanksgiving Tales. This is the smaller tree she used last year.
• Getting Ready For Santa Paws. This is the tree she usually has up for Christmas. BTW - this may also count towards a Freak Out, because she FREAKS anytime I get near it.

5) Humans Dress You Up

After Thanksgiving Tales. She put these stupid antlers on us and actually took photos. And then to add insult to injury, she made Christmas Cards out of these pictures and actually send them out!!! How humiliating.

6) Love of Kleenex
I don't usually get my paws on the Kleenex, but I do get the Q-tips from the bathroom trash!! I also counter surf and get my paws on napkins.  Under The Deck Day Two. There is a photo of my handwork with a napkin.

Well Meeshka, there you have it.
I hope you will accept me into the ranks of your H.U.L.A organization.
Thanks
Pele, the Psycho Pup

Welcome to the HULA Hoop Pele!

New HULA Member: Fuzzbutt

I have to admit, I'm totally jealous of the fluffability of Fuzzbutt, and pondered whether to actually allow somepup into HULA that was totally more fluffy than me, but with credentials like this... we need such a valuable member in the Hoop, so congratulations Fuzzbutt!


Hi Meeshka,

I have:

• destroyed a down coat, 
• opened jars and dumped contents on the van floor, 
• ripped up bags of chips, 
• chewed the tops off gallon milk jugs and spilled milk, 
• gotten into the shelving units in the van and destroyed stuff, 
• chewed off the handles from my Dad's tool kit,  
• locked the van doors so my humans had to climb in thru the back to open the door,
• changed radio settings with my nose in the van, 
• stuck my nose out the partially opened window of the van when my humans left me there to wait for them, and hollered so loud that people thought something was wrong with me. 

That is only a little bit of what I can do. Can I be in the HULA group?

 Oh Yes, I also digest reading material. Hee Hee
Take a look at my face. Is that the face of a guilty dog?

The Rise of HULA

HULA Members!

I know that some humans have called HULA a "sleeper" cell... well, actually we're a "napper" cell and its time for us to wake up from our naps, take a big stretch and yawn and begin our efforts to take over the world once more!

I've been highly agitated to the point of stomping my delicate little feety feet over the torture going on in the blogosphere, and the humiliation of our pupdom. LOOK AT THIS BLATANT ACT OF DISRESPECT!!!

This poor pup is Ciara from the Chronicle of Woos

But wait... just when you thought it couldn't get any worse OHMYFLUFF LOOK AT THIS!

SERIOUSLY!!! Things have gotten WAAAAY out of control while we've napped and now its time to redouble our efforts to take over the world.

Think this is just a random occurrence?

This is one of the (not so happy) Five Sibes!
I THINK NOT!

For those new to my blog and who want to assist in total canine domination of the world, here is the HULA spiel:

HULA Qualifications
1. Demonstrating Disruptive Behavior
2. Cause Humans to freak out for no real reason
3. Destroy Something
4. Human behavior modification:
5. Humans dress you up
6. Love of Kleenex

HULA stands for the Husky United Liberation Army. Although starting out as a "huskies only" group, we've found that all breeds of dogs (and cats) have the potential to help our cause, and are (if qualified) allowed to join the HULA Hoop.

HULA's mission is to slowly and covertly drive humans insane. Once all humans have been driven to the brink of insanity, we will then take over the world, where I will assume the position of Queen of the Earth.

If you feel that you have carried out covert missions to drive your human insane, wish to be a member of HULA (You will receive recognition of your deeds on my manifesto blog, and a stunning certificate, suitable for framing or tearing into little shreds, eating, then pooping it out), all you have to do is send me an e-mail with:

A write up of your covert deeds
Pictures demonstrating your cunning, guile, and evidence of your superiority over your humans

Send your write ups and pictures to: meeshkaworld@gmail.com
or if you blog, send me the link to your blog where you list your HULA qualifications and if you are lucky, you too will be a member of the Elite HULA Hoop!

Your entries will be scrutinized for completeness and posted if you are worthy. Your certificate will be e-mailed to you.

For examples, please refer to current HULA members who are listed on the right hand side of my blog (scroll down... keep scrolling... keeeeep scrolling... there!)
