Dear Bacon –  When you are tired, you are tired.  What can I say?  I’ve watched the humans here at my paradise.  When they come home from work, they lay down on the couch and put their legs up.  I thought I would give it a whirl.  I gotta say, it’s awesome.  So relaxing and peaceful.  Have you ever tried this?  Signed Forty Winks

Dear Forty Winks –  You know you look so peaceful there my friend.  I’m going to have bounce the purr things off of the couch here, climb up and stretch on the big boy couch to see what it feels like.  I have gotten on mom’s love seat with her but somehow your position looks so appealing.  Thanks for the tidbit of information.  I’m off to see if purr things can fly now.  Snorts

Dear Bacon – The mailman was being so rude when he snapped this picture.  Yes I was taking a power nap.  But let me set the record straight right now.  If he had opened the gate or stepped one toe into my space, I would have been on him like a casing on a sausage.  I’m just sayin’ – no joking around.  I protects what is mind.  Signed Power Pup

Dear Power Pup – You know my friend I believe you.  How dare that mailman take this photograph of you and send it to your humans.  I just know you will get even for that little mis-step… right?  I’m sure a great sneak attack barking ferociously will set that guy in his place… in more ways than one.  Keep me posted.

Dear Bacon – My human said I was quote, “Flying off of the rafters” and advised me to take a nap.  Yes that is right.  She sent me to her room while she had company.  Hhmmphh – I was sore for a few minutes.  That is until I pounced on top of the big bed and got comfy on her pillow.  These humans have the life!  What luxury they sleep in – and they expect us to sleep on the floor.  I don’t think so.  This pillow is now marked MINE… all MINE.  Signed Spoiled Puss

Dear Spoiled Puss –  Hey, I’m with you my friend.  The humans do sleep in luxury.  I agree 100%.  That’s why every time I get a chance, I’m so on mom/dad’s Select Comfort bed right in the middle with *my* pillow.  And yep, I would be a 65 on the Sleep Number bed – snorts.  Happy Dreams.

Dear Bacon – Our human went to sleep while we were out playing.  We heard them snoring. Dude, they can make the racket louder than any of us, right?  Well, me and my twin thought we would just stare at them until it woke them up.  Have you ever done this?  It’s a fun game.  The woke with a start.  I think we have powers… secret powers.  Signed Pig Powers

Dear Pig Powers – One pig to you two, I *know* we have super powers.  The humans just don’t realize it but they will soon when we take over the world!  Snorts – Pig Power

Dear Bacon – Oh dude.  I went out last night with the boys and things got a little wild.  Okay maybe a LOT wild. I woke up like this on a picnic table in a yard I don’t know with none of my friends.  I don’t even know what we did.  Shakes head – what a night!  Signed Cat Calling

Dear Cat Calling – Oh my friend, you need to slow down and rethink your life.  You don’t even know what you did, where you ended up at and no friends to help you in case something happened while you were sleeping.  You might want to rethink that party life and focus on the future.  Your college cat calling nights on the fence might be over.  Take care of you okay!

REMEMBER FRIENDS – We can’t have Dear Bacon issues without YOU.  Keep your pictures and questions coming to me via email 🙂

I’ve Created a New Season – Happy Sprinter

This picture is from Wikipedia.  It shows the typical seasons – Spring, Summer, Fall and then Winter.  That’s the way it’s suppose to fall.  But this year, dear old Mother Nature is not playing fairly.  Mommy says she needs hormone shots and daddy says she needs more dates with Father Time.  I’m not sure which one is right.  I just know that maybe she needs a kick in the butt.  Yep, I said.  I kick right smack in the middle of her captains quarters.

You see, this weekend is what I’m talking about.  Saturday here at the Hotel Thompson we get up and it is beautiful.  There’s no other way to put it.  The birds are chirping (and that’s a story for another time – snorts), the sun is out, the wind is just right and the temperatures are in the 60’s.  You couldn’t ask for a more gorgeous day.  Mom and me went out to wash her Smart car Albert.  It only took less than five minutes by throwing a cup of water at it – snorts.  I kill myself.

Our neighbor Big Daddy had cut our yard and the back yard was spectacular.  Thanks Big Daddy!  We went out there and ran for a while.  Mommy says it was for me to get some sun and I said I understood.  Secretly I knew she wanted me to run some excess Winter weight off so I would sleep more deeply tonight.  I’m good with that.  I just wonder why she didn’t make daddy do the same.  Double snorts.

It was a wonderful day.  Lots of running, loving and snuggles.

Then BAM!  What a change Sunday.  Sunday brought us rain, cool weather and strong winds.  We could actually sit inside and hear the winds!  We all got up and had breakfast together.  It was so damp and yuck outside that after breakfast, we all went back to bed.  Now, I’m not hating days like this because usually, like this day, when we go back to bed we all get on the Select Comfort for a siesta.  It was great.

Picture this.  A king sized Select Comfort bed with two humans, two purr things and a piggy.  Snorts, I’m a 65 with mommy on the Select Comfort.  Daddy and the purr things are a 100.  That’s just too hard for this little oinker.  When we got up from our nap, it was still yuck outside.

Now, I’m telling you all of this for a reason.  It’s suppose to be Spring but it still acts like Winter.  I’m suggesting a new season called – Sprinter.  You get it?  Spring with Winter.  So sometime today, tell someone Happy Sprinter.  Then smile and remember my little story here.  🙂

Happy Sprinter my pals!
