Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon – I’m getting too old to be the party dog in the crowd.  My friends are trying to have an intervention with me and took this picture.  I really didn’t think I had gotten that bad but pictures don’t lie, right?  Between the beer and the shots of tequila, I was out for the night.  I guess it’s time for me to reach out for help.  What do you suggest?  Signed Boozer

Dear Boozer – You are right my little friend.  Admission is the first step and you have taken that step in the right direction.  There are group meetings that you can attend in your area with AAA (Anipal Alcoholic Anonymous).  Make that phone call my friend and good luck with your recovery.

Dear Bacon – The big thing right now is to Netflix and chill.  I’m all for it.  This is me watching my favorite movie Willard.  If you haven’t seen it, you must watch it.  It’s amazing.  And of course no movie is perfect without the snack of some cheese.  What’s your favorite movie to chill?  Signed Will Jr

Dear Will Jr – Well my friend.  I looked up your movie.  It is what shall I say intriguing for sure.  My favorite movie lately is My Brother the Pig.  This is also an amazing movie.  And I like to watch it with snacks as well – my favorite is popcorn.  You keep chilling little guy!

Dear Bacon – Cheap labor.  That’s what I call this.  Our human has a lawn service and dude he puts us to work for kibbles.  We all have our assigned duties from leaf blower, raking and working the riding lawn mower.  It’s unheard of but it does make for some interesting looks when the humans drive by.  I’m hoping that one of the neighborhood ladies will take notice of our skills.  What do you think – we got a chance?  Signed Canine Lawn Care

Dear Canine Lawn Care – Hey, if you were in my hood, I would definitely hire you for sure my friends.  However you get the job done, that’s key in my book.  And once the ladies notice your working skills and the kibbles that you are bringing in, they will have to take numbers at your front door.  Be safe!

 Dear Bacon –  Look dude, it was a spider on the ground.  I don’t do spiders.  Nope, not at all.  And it was gigantic.  There was no way I was staying on the ground with that monster.  And those humans – they just walked around it like it was nothing.  They are the strangest people.  You afraid of those creepy crawlers too, right?  Signed Spastic

Dear Spastic – Let me get this right.  You are afraid of spiders but not height.  That’s amazing.  And what’s more amazing is that the humans are just walking by without a care not even paying you any attention.  WOW.  Too bad you can’t act like a bird and drop a little something if you know what I mean – snorts with piggy laughter.  I do understand your arachnophobia.  I myself don’t like the little pests with all of those legs either.  No one blames you for that.  Just be careful getting down off that limb okay bro.

Dear Bacon – Look at me – I’m a turtle.  Barks!  Okay maybe not a turtle.  Maybe a cute little pooch. Yep that’s who I am – a cute little pooch.  My human is always dressing me up different ways.  I say go for it because they always give me great treats in return.  Do your humans make you do anything stupid for treats?  Signed Michaelangelo

Dear Michaelangelo – Once my mom put me near a carton of eggs and took my picture.  She said I was the bacon and eggs in its original form.  I don’t get it but mom/dad got a great laugh out of it.  And like you as well – I got great treats.  So hey, if it doesn’t hurt us then I say wear it with pride.

Remember my friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without *you*.  Please remember to email me your letters and pictures ❤

 

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon,

It’s really not what you think.  Honestly.  I was just surfing the net and this came up.  I really wasn’t looking for this kind of well activity.  Honestly.  Signed Captured

Dear Captured,

Let me get this straight.  Your um doggy activity just ‘happened’ to show up on your laptop… and the headphones just ‘happened’ to be on as well.  Okay my friend.  Whatever gets you through the night – snorts.

Dear Bacon,

The humans, they insist on me wearing jammies to bed.  What we do for our humans, right?  Signed Pampered

Dear Pampered,
Enjoy it my friend.  If it makes the humans happy, then we are in a good spot.  Not a lot of others have the life that we have.  We should live it up and take advantage of all the love the humans want to throw at us.  Enjoy it!

Dear Bacon,

Nobody knows the stumbles I’ve made in life.  I’ve got it bad.  Some days I just don’t know about my life.  I tend to ‘hit’ the can too much these days and pass out while drinking.  I think I have a problem.  Can you help?  Signed Squirrel Anonymous

Dear Squirrel Anonymous,

Admission is the first step my friend.  And you do realize that you have a lot of friends to help you through these tough times.  Life has to much to offer and you have too much to live for than to hit the can and sleep through it.  I’m sending you Journalist Rocky the Squirrel’s number.  Call him.  He will help you out.

.

Dear Bacon,
You know us pit bulls get a bad rap.  They tend to categorize us all in one place saying we are mean spirited.  That’s like saying all mice are icky.  Would your mother think that about Mickey Mouse?  People shouldn’t judge all of us because of a couple of bad instances.  Don’t you think?  Signed LoveBug

Dear LoveBug,

You said it exactly my friend!  How could anyone think that you were a ‘killer’ by that picture all snuggled up in your bed with your security penguin?  Such wise wisdom that we should share with everyone in the world.  No judgements – just love!

.

 Dear Bacon,

See, Bashful is not the only one that can pick up chicks.  I do too – purr.  This is my friend Gloria.  I give her rides everywhere we go.  Isn’t she pretty?  Signed Felix

 

Dear Felix,
You *are* the purr thing my friend.  That is awesome that you pick up ‘chicks’ and give them rides.  I bet you are very popular on the farm.  Have a fantastic time with your friends.
