Dear Bacon – If it’s good enough to put the crying thing in to settle them down, why can’t I get in it too? It seems like the screaming miniature human gets a lot of attention in this contraption. I don’t seem to be getting the same kind. Why? Can you explain that to me? Signed Dogsad
Dear Dogsad – Aaww – you poor thing. I’m really sorry that you feel left out. I really am. Right now though, your humans are going through a lot with the small human. This will pass when they don’t have to be so fussy with them. You just be patient and stay cute my friend.
Dear Bacon – This means WAR! There I was hanging out on the sofa after a really rough day of chasing the mailman and squirrels. I was minding my own business, had my feet popped up and was enjoying a nice glass of 2012 Francis Ford Coppola Pinot Noir. Then the lights started flashing. My dad took this picture of me and put it all over the internet – he’s even talking about Christmas cards?! I will be ruined! What can I do? Signed Sparky
Dear Sparky – Give me a second friend… snorts and squeals ridiculously loud in a paper bag. Okay, I’m back. Breathes in to get my bearing. What you need to do Sparky is get a hold of that camera. Delete the picture is tops. Then you need to get on the human’s computer and start deleting. I would wait until the humans all asleep and then pounce into action.
Dear Bacon –
If you’re happy and you know it, throw your hooves in the air. If you’re happy and you know it, look so cute. If you’re happy and you know it then your face will surely show it. If you’re happy and you know it, throw your hooves in the air! Signed Cute as a Lamb
Dear Cute as a Lamb –
I’m off now to throw my hooves up in the air! You look as adorable as well me! Have a great one my friend and thanks for sharing!
❤
Dear Bacon – When the humans asked me if I wanted a pancake and I said yes, this is not what I meant. I wanted a pancake to eat not wear. What in the world were they thinking?! Signed Panbunny
Dear Panbunny – I could teach you a trick with that pancake sitting on your head my friend. My daddy taught me how to flip it off of my head and into my mouth. You can do it – I know you can!
Happy eats.
Dear Bacon – SQUEAL! Look what I made! Mini-me’s! Aren’t they just too cute?! Signed Surprised
Dear Surprised – They are totally adorable my friend!! So very cute. They look just like you… well except for the bright eyed, bushy tailed, surprise look – snorts.
Welcome my friends to a new year of adventure and great food!
July we are highlighting great sandwiches of any kind. In the summer months, it is way too hot to bake or cook on the oven. For that reason, we are doing sandwiches that require little to no cooking.
For this month, I’m letting my mom take it away
❤
What you will need: Dinner rolls (we got the new Sara Lee Artesano which comes 12 rolls to the package for $3.69 – you will need six rolls); Ham of your choice (you could use any kind of deli meat – this is our favorite – don’t tell Bacon. The package costs $4.07, you will need a third of it); and shredded cheese (a block of cheese cost us $1.99 – use whatever type. We use medium cheddar and about a quarter of the block). Total price $3.71
How to prepare: Turn your over on just long enough to get a little hot. Cut the tops off of he dinner rolls trying to keep them all together. Put the shredded cheddar cheese on the bottom dinner rolls. Then top with slices of ham and more shredded cheddar cheese. Place the top back on the dinner rolls and put on a baking sheet. Put in the oven just long enough to get the cheese to melt. Take out and cut into little sliders for dinner. Trust me, they go FAST!
Welcome my friends. I’m tweaking my weekly journey with my healthier living. It’s a step in the right direction for sure. I hope you come along for the ride. Instead of day-to-day comments, I’m going to post something from my personal journal to share. Hope you enjoy. Remember all of us go down this path and we are all in it together ❤
Week of 07/22-07/28/2018 – Week 29
“Dear Journal – Life is good. The number on the scale is finally catching up – YAY! You go for so long without that stupid number moving and then all of a sudden it plays catch up in the right direction. Time and patience – neither one of which I have at times. But I’m learning. Live life fully is my motto these days – no regrets. Learn and grow.”

Of all of the important holidays I can tell you about, today seems to be the most important in my book. It is International Day of Friendship. The world is filled with too much hate, too many wars, too much prejudice and way too many disagreements. Today, we should put all of that aside and reach out to each other and say, “Hello friend happy friendship day!”
This is just not a backyard problem or a school playground problem. This is a worldwide problem. A problem that needs to come to an end. Everyone has differences – we wouldn’t be individuals if we didn’t. But when you look down to it, we all want to be happy and what better way than to get along.
Today let’s make friends with different people, different cultures and different countries. Extend your hand – or an olive branch – and say hello friend. Say hello to your neighbor, to the stranger at the market and say hello to a person that you see everyday but you don’t even know their name. Today is the day to make a friend near and far.
To all of our friends, we at the Hotel Thompson would like to say thank you for being our friend – happy friendship day. And to those that don’t know us yet, Happy Friendship Day. May we get to know you better today and in the future!
What is a perfect weekend for you my friends? I think this picture tells you everything you need to know about what my perfect weekend would be. I’m not moving… except to eat and pee. Other than that, this spot is perfect ❤
Mom really how could you? Okay I get it. You have a shoe fetish. I used to have one too but you broke me of that. I get that. But you come home with these shoes. Really? They have D.O.G.S. on them. And hey get this – they are not of me. So how could you? I feel betrayed. I think this look tells you everything I’m feeling. Now be a nice sport about it. Take those shoes off so I can take care of them if you know what I mean. 🙂
P.S. These are mom’s new shoes. They are Skecher BOB’s and are awesome. I know when she wears them, she is thinking of me. And mom says they are the most comfortable pair of shoes she has ever had. That’s gotta mean something, right?
Last week I told you about a restaurant that mom/dad went to with Aunt Tina a couple of months ago while visiting Chicago. This is the second half of that posting.
On this night, mom/dad split a meal. They do that a lot. On tonight’s menu it was a Fontina Pork Chop. I know – I know. I was shocked too. Thank goodness I’m not that kind of pig!
This pork chop was boneless, had fontina cheese, garlic and prosciutto ham and a mushroom marsala sauce. Mom said it was the best pig that she ever had…besides kissing me that is – snorts and rolls with piggy laughter.
They served it with garlic whipped potatoes and one of dad’s favorites – crab fried rice – which dad absolutely fell in love with!
This was the first time that mom/dad had visited this restaurant but they say they will be back for sure! Wait until next week to see the dessert – oh yum ❤
Welcome my friends to a new year of adventure and great food!
