Huskee & Hershey

I got tagged by Fei to do an entry on the 2-legged folks at home whom I call ‘Family’. After a futile attempt to ask my dad some questions (please see conversation below), I decided to depend on my mom instead and in exchange, I promised her not to dish out too much 'dirt'.

Huskee Boy (HB): Dad, do you have a minute? I need to have a father and son chat with you please…
Dad (D): Mmmmm…

HB: Hello Dad??! I said I want to have a father and son chat with you.. like NOW...
D: (grunts some inaudible reply)

HB: Daaad!!! I said I am growing another head and 3 more tails!!
D: Mmmmm…. (and more inaudible mumblings)

HB: Grrrr…..

* Note from HB to Mom – Now I really understand your frustrations…

So here's what I managed to find out from our mother and son talk: -

Dad is a senior software engineer working in the IT/ banking industry and he enjoys most PlayStation games especially the tennis and car racing ones, washing the HuskeeMOBILE, stepping on my tail/ paw, kicking me off the bed in the middle of the night, channel surfing when mom’s watching her favorite show (mom made me write this)…

Mom is a regional business manager who works in a travel management company that deals with corporate clients. In her spare time, she likes to go shopping, do some reading, more shopping, making costume jewellery, shopping and more shopping (dad made me write this)...

My Paw-rents when they were holidaying in Hong Kong last Dec

My paw-rents met sometime in Feb 1998 when they were both living in the same hostel in Melbourne when they were there for their studies (they were next door neighbors). They started dating not long after that and tied the knot last year on 29 Sep. Dad got me as a gift for mom on 21Oct 1999 and at that time, she was terrified of anything furry and four-legged (yah, she didn’t know what she was missing then!!)

The Maid, which is my other favorite hooman, is actually mom’s younger sister, but I call her The Maid because she does everything for me and adores the ground that my 4 little paws touches. (She’s also the only person who thinks that my farts are not smelly… C’mon, tell me where can you get someone like that??) She recently graduated from Uni. and is in the midst of looking for a job. Until she finds the job, she is spending a lot of time with me now... *happy grin*

Last but not least, there’s grandpapa and grandmama with whom I live with on weekdays (I have separation anxiety, remember?) when mom and dad are working for treat and toy money. Grandpapa retired many years back so he gets to spend the most time with me when everyone is out. I love to sleep on his tummy during our afternoon naps! Grandmama is the one who brushes my fur and coaxes me to eat my medicine when I had my itchy-scratchy problem a few weeks back.

So that's about all the dirt that I can share with you about my Family without risking being disowned by them.
