How I Got Back on Mom’s Good Side

Just imagine you are on a date with your spouse and then your cell phone goes off with a text message.  You know by the sound of the ring that it’s from one of your kids.  You go to look at it and WOW – it’s a text from ME – Bacon.  Who could stay mad at this little oinker for long?  Especially when I’m giving you a heads up about free coffee!  Mommy is a sucker for coffee.

After mom and dad’s date they did go to Dunkin Donuts.  Mommy didn’t get the free coffee.  She got the pumpkin white chocolate latte.  She said it was delicious.  I wouldn’t know because she didn’t give me a taste of it… BUT, she did bring me some donut holes. 🙂

So, that is how you get back on mommy’s good list.  She drunk her coffee while I was in her lap getting snuggles.  Everything is back to being good at the Hotel Thompson.

Oh, and what?  Doesn’t every pig have an iPhone?  It’s only the 3G that mom used to have but it still works for these emergency type situations – snorts.

 

Happy Last Day of the Month

Happy Monday my dear sweet friends.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of rest and relaxation and lots of great food!  We had a little bit of cooler weather here this weekend and I absolutely LOVED it.  There’s just something about the coolness of the air that makes this little oinker want to run!  I went out in the back yard with mommy and we played for a long time together.  We took turns playing tag and chasing each other.  I think I finally wore mommy out – snorts.  She sat on the ground and that’s when I hit her like a football player.  We just sat on the freshly cut grass, snuggled and baked in the sun.  It felt good.  I admit I liked it.  But don’t go telling a lot of people okay. 🙂 

I admit it went down hill after Saturday morning.  Deviled ham came out and I got into trouble.  I learned my lesson because yesterday I had to pay the time for the crime.  I hate that – it interferes with my snuggle time with mommy.  I don’t like it when mommy ignores me.  But we made good yesterday afternoon. All is now well at the Hotel Thompson.

Today is the last day of September and the spooky month of October starts tomorrow.  I wanted to give you a heads up about October.  October is going to be a busy month for this little piggy.

I skyped a witch and she even saw me in her crystal ball.  Even she knew I was up to something before mom and dad did.  You see,  I’m going to have 31 days of Spook on my blog.  I’m personally going to highlight scary movies, television shows, legends, monsters and other things that go bump in the night.  I might even quiz you on some of them so be prepared.  Start brushing up on your trivia.  I hope it will be fun for everyone.

Second off, the parents are trying to go to the beach in October so they are looking for a pig sitter for me.  I’ve told them that I’m old enough that I don’t *need* a pig sitter but mommy is insisting.  So they are taking interviews – snorts – this should be fun.  I do hope they let me sit in for this so called interviews.  I’d like to give my two cents on the unfortunate soul person they choose.  I wonder what my witch friend that I skyped saw about this situation?  Snorts.  Of course, I will keep you posted.

So, happy last day of September my friends.  Welcome to Spooky October!  Evil snort

 

Trouble – Sigh

Okay, I admit it.  I get into trouble from time to time.  I’m a kid.  It’s what I do, right?  And, don’t we *all* get into trouble every once in a while?

Look at this cute, innocent ever so loving face.  Could I get into trouble?  You’re not falling for it either, huh?  I know daddy gets into trouble here at the Hotel Thompson. 

 One time mommy told daddy to get air conditioning installed in his dog house because he was going to be there for a while.  So, it happens.

So, yeah, I got into trouble.  As mommy says here at the Hotel Thompson, “You do the crime, you pay the time”.  I got my share of being in dad’s dog house yesterday.

  It went like this.  Mommy was in a clean mode.  I thought I would help her behind the sofa.  Well, I’m not as small as I used to be.  I got stuck.  After mommy stopped laughing at me because my hiney was stuck in the air, she got me out.  I might have barked back at her.  She stopped laughing then and told me that I was bad.  I really hate that word.

Then, she started vacuuming.  I might have – and that’s a really strong might have – tried to attack the vacuum cleaner.  Mom said that three lettered word again – bad.  She told me that I was pushing ‘it’.  Insert cute little piggy face here.  Pushing “IT”?

Okay, so I waddled into the unlocked kitchen by myself while she finished up in the front room.  I still couldn’t get over that she told me that *I* was pushing it.  So I did what any pig would do.  I.pushed.it.  I knocked the kittty chow over that was in the chair.  Food was raining down from the heavens!  That Iams is some great stuff and I was pigging out…. until mom came into the kitchen.  Uh-oh.

Do you know how hard is to wrangle a pig that is chomping away on something that he’s not suppose to be eating?  Snorts – near impossible.  Just ask mom.  I had a great little buffet in the kitchen until she picked me up.  Then the squealing commenced.

That was enough to get dad’s attention who was in the bedroom.  He asked mom what I did as she was taking me to the bedroom.  Her reply, “Go look at the kitchen.”  Let’s just say that dad’s colorful words are very imaginative adjectives.  I learned a lot of them yesterday.

So, mom put me in my room and told me to serve my time for the crime.  Yes I was naughty.  Yes I knew exactly what I was doing.  Yep,  I pushed mommy’s buttons.  And, I have only one thing to say about it.

How can get away with it next time without getting caught?  Snorts

 

Friday’s Foto Fun – The Fugitives

What You Learned Today:

• Not much.
• I’m not giving away our location. Or our destination.

Saturday Funny!

Remember way back when you used to get up to watch the cartoons on Saturday mornings while you’re parents slept?  Nah?  Shakes piggy head.  I don’t remember either – snorts.  I just hear mommy and daddy say that a lot around the Hotel Thompson.  There’s no cartoons on Saturday mornings anymore.  AND, the Cartoon Network doesn’t show any good cartoons anymore.  Am I right?

So, in honor of the old Saturday morning cartoons – I’m going to attempt to make you chuckle and smile with some jokes.  Are you ready for this?  Here we go:

I saw two dogs walk over to a parking meter.  One said to the other, “How do you like that?  Pay toilets.”

What is the scariest type of dinosaur? A Terror-dactyle

Why did the turtle cross the road? To get to the shell station!

What do you call a blind dinosaur? A Thoughtusawus.

Two caged circus lions break free and corner a clown in his dressing room. One lion says to the other, “Forget it, those things taste funny.”

PLOL (Pig Laughing out Loud).  I hope these gave you a chuckle.  I know they did me.

 

We’re Bustin’ Out

I wonder what kind of trouble they will get into? XOXO – Bacon

The Scottie Chronicles - Winston's World

I’ve had enough of being in the slammer.

Bashful, whadya say we bust outta here?

You may remember that Bashful and I have been confined to quarters for my little “let me show you the ropes” display of why not to walk in the road when the peep’s cutting the grass. It wasn’t pretty.

So, let’s just be on our way. I’m already out the front door.

Don’t worry, Bashful, your sedentary peeps will be here when you get back. That little bunny and I have been friends for a long time. He and that stoic Scottie will hold your place of honor while you’re gone.

By the way, that Scottie is a lamp. Let him light the way to our breaking out of Sing Sing of the South.

What You Learned Today:

• If you’re just joining us, Bashful’s been visiting me for a while. He’s Bacon’s friend. And Bacon…

Happy Friday and Such –

Another Friday is upon us – we all survived another long week!

I plan on hanging out at the Hotel Thompson.  I’m trying to enjoy every minute with mommy that I can in the next couple of weeks before they go on vacation.  Saturday is me and mom bonding day.  We might even try to go in the back yard and play in the leaves.  It’s a possibility.  Mommy says it’s fun.  I’m not so sure at this point.  I’ll keep you posted on my findings.

Sunday I think mom and dad are having date night – eeww. I still don’t get ‘date’ night.  Don’t they see enough of each other during the week?

Do ya’ll have anything planned?

I wanted to share something with you that me and daddy saw on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” earlier in the week.  I was totally in awe and fascinated – so was daddy.

The question came up <<look to the left>> that asked the following:

High concentrations of the mineral olivine are what make the sand at Hawaii’s Papakolea Beach uniquely what color.

Me and dad looked at each other and automatically said it at the same time.  Okay – maybe he said it and I oinked it – GREEN.  And you are probably saying you’re such a smart piggy.  Well, let me remind you of something.  Earlier in the month of September, I did a posting on Papakolea Beach.  You can see it at https://piglove.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/papakolea-beach-and-princess-coralena/

That is how we knew the answer!  So what does this tell you?  Reading my blog can make you smarter!  Who would have thought that, huh?

 

So, share with your friends.  You never know what you might learn from my blog page.

It could be anything and everything my friends!

Happy weekend – have fun!

 

Remember Me Thursday and Light a Candle

My friend Speedy over at http://www.speedyhousebunny.com has reminded me that today, September 26, 2013, is Remember Me Thursday.

This is a very important date to remember all of the lost animals that didn’t find their forever homes.  Each year, animals are euthanized because they are unwanted.

Today, let’s light a candle and keep it going to remember them.  It takes all of us to do our part in making sure animals get as much love as they need and find their forever parents.

Hold your babies tight today and say a little prayer my friends.  Continue the light and be their voice!  It takes all of us doing our part.  Thanks my friends!

 

 

 

Facts and Funnies about Mom’s Smart Car Albert

This is Albert.  Albert is mom’s Smart car.  I know. I know.  Mom’s names her cars.  She’s weird like that – snorts.  In this picture, it almost looks like Albert is smiling.  And you know what is worse than mommy naming her cars?  She and dad talk to Albert like a person.  I think that’s just weird.  But hey, she loves her little car.  Have you made the connection yet with mom and her love of small things?  Look at me, I’m small too.  Weird or what huh?

Mom has had Albert for a couple of years now and she loves him as much today as she did when she bought him.  She gets jokes about him every day from friends, family and co-workers.  I thought I would take this time to tell you some myths and facts about Albert.

#1 – Mom has a wicked sense of humor, if you haven’t caught on to that by now – snorts.  Since it is a Smart Car, she named it Albert.  You know after Albert Einstein.  This is a FACT.

#2 – Albert is a gas powered Smart Fortwo Passion.  He is only three cylinders and does great on gas.  Mom fills up about once a month for around $25.00.  This is a FACT. 

#3 – Oil changes are every 10,000 miles!  This is a FACT.  When you get your oil changed, mom ‘resets’ her calculator in the car, it counts down from 10,000 to let her know when it’s time for the next oil change.  She averages getting it changed around once a year.

 #4 – You can go shopping in it.  This is a FACT.  Mommy has been grocery shopping and put over $200.00 worth of groceries in the back of it with no problems!  And, the back is a perfect place for me to hang out when we are driving all around town.

#5 – Having a Smart car is like being in a club.  This is a FACT.  When mommy passes another Smart car, it’s like they’re old friends.  They honk horns and wave at each.  It’s embarrassing when I’m in the car – snorts.

#6 – Yes it is true.  Mommy took Albert to the car wash one weekend with daddy.  It was one of those drive thru places.  They got stuck in the middle because Albert didn’t weigh enough for the track to pick him up.  They learned their lesson on this one – snorts

These are just a few comments mommy has heard about Albert.  I’m not sure which one I feel sorrier for – mommy or Albert – snorts

“Where is the wind up key on that toy?”  This is actually a funny thing because there is a part that you can order to attach to the back of the car to look like a wind up toy.  Mommy has really thought about it.

“Hey, I tripped over your car in the parking lot.”

When there’s a big storm outside and mommy is at work, they will tell her, “Hey, you better go tie down your car, it’s going to get blown away”. OR “You need to put floaties on that car, a storm is a coming.”

“Hey, it looks like they installed a new speed bump in the parking lot.  Oh no, my bad.  It’s just your car.”

“Where do you buy your tires?  Lawn mower section of Home Depot?”

“You know why they named it Smart Car?  Because Golf Cart was already taken.”

“Better make sure a bird doesn’t take a crap on it.  It will total it out.”

“You need to wash your car?  I’ll throw a cup of water on it for you.”
