Sunshine Award

My sweet girlfriend Nylablue gave me this special Sunshine Award on 02/23/2014.  As some of you know, Nylablue is very, VERY special to this little piggy and means the world to me.  Nylablue has been feeling under the weather lately and even so *still* thinks about others.  That’s how HUGE her little heart is – she still takes the time to think of others.

Me and Nylablue were going to go out on a date before she got so very sick.  The date is not called off but on hold.  When she is feeling better, I promise to take her on a wonderful date full of chasing butterflies and walking near the water front.  I want it to be something that she will always remember.

So, Nylablue get better soon honey.  I’m always here thinking of you and thank you my sweet dear kitty for the Sunshine Award.

10 Interesting Facts About Moi – A Mere Piggy

1. Mommy tucks me into my toddler bed and tells me a bedtime story every night.
2. Mommy has to put my television remote up high on a shelf in my room. If not, I will turn on my television in the middle of the night and watch it. Honestly.  I scared the bejesus out of mom/dad one night when I did it.
3. I’m usually sweet Bacon but there are times when my evil twin Deviled Bacon comes out.  Those are few and far between but when they do – shivers.
4. I like to ride in the back of mom’s Smart car when she does errands.  The next time you see a little blue Smart car with a piggy in the back seat oinking, give me a wave 🙂
5. I *hate* the feel of grass on my hooves.  I know it sounds silly but I can’t stand it!  I tip toe on the grass when outside because of it… except for when I’m knocking daddy on his butt – snorts.
6. I wake mommy up for the worky place every morning at 6:30AM.  Can you believe she hasn’t had to set an alarm in 2.5 years?  On the weekends, I wake daddy up at 7:30AM for breakfast.
7. Mommy usually leaves me a snack on my pillow on my toddler bed at night.  Sometimes it’s a strawberry, an animal cracker – you know something so the midnight munchie monster doesn’t get me.
8. I’m secretly in love with a purr thing.  Yep you heard it here first.  I love Nylablue 🙂 swoon
9. Mom took me to PetSmart one time when I was younger.  I rode in the buggy.  Everyone thought I was a dog until I started grunting.  Now, there’s too many big dogs that go to our PetSmart so mommy is afraid to take me.  So, I usually just hang out in the back of the Smart car while she runs in.
10. Mommy took me to her worky place when I was little.  I ran around the building like there was no tomorrow.  Don’t let people fool you, I’m fast.  One of mom’s guys caught me and gave me to mommy.  He scared me really bad when he grabbed me.  I peed all over mommy – blush.

 

Pineapple and Daddy

As some of you know, I have a love/hate relationship with my daddy.  I mean he loves me and I love him but it’s nothing like the love me and mom share.  Can you relate?  We tolerate – yeah that’s a good word – tolerate each other.  He takes care of me during the day and I like to think I take care of him during the day too.

Well, this weekend we were outside playing around.  I was down in the yard of the magical back yard and he was with me with mommy up on the deck.  Just for a moment, deviled ham came out in me.

  I tried to hide him back inside of me… you know sweet bacon.  But, it just wasn’t going to happen.  Sigh – deviled ham came out full force.  I looked at daddy and all I could see was a target.  I know I shouldn’t but it happened.  I stomped my hooves, ran around the magical back yard and at full force slammed into daddy who was kneeling over weeding.  For a big ex football player, he fell hard with a good thump.  Maybe that’s because he wasn’t expecting me… you think?  Then that old meanie deviled ham did something terrible.  He grabbed daddy’s pant legs and started pulling.  I thought for a minute deviled ham was going to pull off daddy’s pants in the backyard.

But then, daddy did the strangest thing.  He said really loud, “Safe word is pineapple – PINEAPPLE”.  He kept repeating pineapple.  Shakes piggy head.  Can you believe that?  Even when deviled ham is trying to play, daddy still thinks of food.  And mom says my mind is a one track way with food.  Snorts.

With daddy screaming pineapple and deviled ham snorting, this got mom’s attention on the deck.  Mom said those words that everyone hates to hear.  The full name – shivers.  She yelled out, “Bacon Porkchop Thompson, you get up here NOW”.  Oh snap.  That’s right – deviled ham snapped right out of my inner body and sweet bacon came out pronto.  I stopped, put my tail between my legs and slowly stomped up the board to the deck.  Man, I was in trouble.  The full name followed by NOW.

I got up on the deck and mom fussed at me.  I mean really fussed.  What was I thinking?  I can’t play rough like that, etc.  I tried to tell her it was deviled ham.  She didn’t have any of it.  She sent me to my bedroom… you know pay the time for the crime.  Shucks… it was all in good fun.

But, I went to my room.  I hope mommy fed daddy some pineapple.  He seemed like he really wanted some.  And don’t worry, dad wasn’t hurt.  He thought it was kind of fun too.  We made apologies later in the day and all is good now.

But you see, that deviled ham is evil.  Do you have a deviled ham?
