HAPPY CINCO de MAYO my friends!!
You’re asking yourself what does that mean? I’m here to tell you. May 5th is a date that is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride – to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first five years of the American Civil War. This date of May 5th is not to be confused with September 16th which is Mexican Independence Day.
Go out and show your support for Cinco de Mayo – have some Mexican food and celebrate your support.
I know Bacon is going to encourage his mom and dad to go out for date night tonight and have fun. I think he’s encouraging them because he thinks they will bring him back a piggy bag. 🙂 smart pig huh?
Celebrate my friends and have a great and safe time!

Ole’. Celebration of a battle defeating the French. (Great piggy duo picture!)
While this day isn’t as big a party and celebration day in Mexico, it’s a big deal here with food, dance, music, and cerveza!
Did you know that the only time with bigger sales for beer is New Years?
Now that’s mega party times.
Dance those little hooves off today, Bacon! (and wait for those chips with salsa, fajitas, and charro beans…well, maybe skip the beans.) 🙂

Snorts – It is definitely a party day. I didn’t know it was second behind New Years Day – WOW! That is a LOT of celebrating. I’m trying to get mom/dad to go out tonight and bring me back some chicken taco’s. I love chicken taco’s! XOXO – Bacon

I think they might. I saw daddy dusting off his dance shoes earlier. This might mean trouble. HA!

All my routines have to do with food. I’ve trained my humans.
