Dear Bacon

 Dear Bacon –  We are in LOVE.  Can’t you tell by the grin on my face.  Who says that love can’t be with everyone in the world.  I’ve found the kitty for me!  Signed Snuggable Loveable

Dear Snuggable Loveable – Sigh.  Trust me my friends.  I do know the full understanding of love.  I have someone in my heart who is now a sweet angel above watching over me.  My dear Nylablue was and still is the love of my little piggy life.  I say enjoy while you can and cherish each and every day my friends!  No regrets.

Dear Bacon –  The master said fetch and we both went.  Whoever brings the stick back gets a treat.  Well we have learned to share and share alike – barks barks.  We *both* brought the stick back.  That should show the master huh?  Signed Fun and Games

Dear Fun and Games – I like the way you think my friends.  That is an awesome plan for the both of you to get a treat.  I shall remember this in the future around here at the Hotel Thompson.  Way to go my friends!

Dear Bacon – Please, please make this day that I get that despicable dog today that comes into my yard, takes hefty craps and harasses me to the ends of the earth.  Just one little punch in the face from my front paws, or perhaps a back kick, would so make my day.  Can you help me out and say that little prayer with me?  Thanks so very much.  Signed On My Knees

Dear On My Knees – Hey, I’m with you on this my friend.  I can’t sit back when one of my friends needs some assistance.  I’ll say that little prayer with you in hopes that you can get even with your little barky thing that visits you.  The line has now been crossed and pay back is definitely in order.  Take care and be quick about it when no one is looking.

 Dear Bacon – Who doesn’t ❤ a great kitty condo?  It’s the time of the year when the humans do weird things like bringing home lots of packages/boxes.  What better time to make a kitty condo for all of us?  Who cares about the junk inside of the boxes.  Humans are weird.  Signed the Three Amigos

Dear Three Amigos – There is something so amusing and wondrous about empty boxes.  We love them here too at the Hotel Thompson.  And yes you are so true in saying that humans are weird.  I’m not sure why this time of the year it happens but it does.  Enjoy those boxes there my friends.  I know we have a couple of them here that we are working on destruction.  It’s so much fun and so messy!

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon – They know me in the wild as the guy to go to for back adjustments.  We all have problems with our backs from time to time.  You know with all of the jumping, running and playing with our buddies.  So I’m here to offer you my services dude.  When your giddy up has gone and went, give me a call for an adjustment.  Signed Crack Doctor

Dear Crack Doctor –  WOW.  I’m at a lost for words.  Really.  By the looks of that purr thing that you are “adjusting”, I would take a gander and say they are as well.  Back adjustments… hhhhmmm… I think I’ll pass.  You know the little tyke here Houdini has great paws for massages.  I think I’ll call him for a massage.  But hey, I appreciate the offer.  You carry on and flourish with your business my friend.

---

 Dear Bacon – Let’s understand each other okay.  You show respect to us purr things and I won’t have to call that elf of yours Don Juan.  Capice?  We have ways of making our communication brutal.  Just one phone call from Hemi or Mouse Girl and I will drop a line to elfy.  We wouldn’t want that now would we?  Signed Enforcer

Dear Enforcer – gulps.  Understand my friend.  I understand completely.  No reason to call Don Juan.  We are all family here.  Love your coloring and by the way have I told you that purr things rock?  They really do – honestly.  Creeps out of this letter….slowly and silently.

 Dear Bacon – Sometimes the best things in life is just sitting back to watch the animals and humans.  You can see some amazing things in the household when you do this.  Just be quiet and observe.  Have you ever done this?  Signed Voyeur

Dear Voyeur – YES I agree 100% my friend.  One time, I watched daddy come out of the shower.  My eyes!  What has been seen can not be unseen.  And hey, he jumped pretty high when I snorted – rolls with laughter.  Carry on watching and let me know what you see next. 🙂

---

 Dear Bacon – I *almost* got caught in this picture.  I mean dude it was a close call for sure!  The barky thing is so loud and loves to pick on us purr things when the humans aren’t lucky.  I had it with that mutt up to my forehead.  So, he came by and I was just about to flick my nails out when I saw the humans out of the corner of my eye.  Thank goodness I saw them looking so I did what all cats do best – I looked disinterested and innocent.  You know the look I’m sure.  But it definitely was a close one.  Have you ever been almost caught in action?  Signed Wolverine

Dear Wolverine – Squeals!  That was a close call my friend.  Thank goodness your spidey senses were working and you noticed the humans.  I hope that you did get even with the barky thing when it was more convenient – snorts.  I’m sure he had it coming his way.  Snorts – have a great one!

---

 Dear Bacon – Really?  This is the juvenile behavior I have to put up with at my own castle.  My little brother doesn’t get his way so he acts like a small person wearing diapers and sticks his tongue out at me.  Really?  What is he two?!  What am I to do?  Shakes head.  Signed – Beyond Irritated

Dear Beyond Irritated – Just walk away.  My best advice my friend.  Unless you want to contact the Enforcer up above or Wolverine from up above.  I’m sure they can tell you a few pointers.  I certainly couldn’t.  Cause you know I’m just so cute and would never do anything to anyone. 🙂  Right Enforcer?  Snorts.

Tag Game – YAY Let’s PLAY!

My barky friend Easy over at http://easyweimaraner.wordpress.com/ ‘tagged’ me on the Tag Game.  (Thanks my fellow four legged friend – high five paw/hoove and snout kisses).  The tag game is kind of like getting an award without getting an award.  I know it sounds complicated but it’s really not.  Here’s the formula that I came up with:

           No award = answer questions + ask questions = tag more peeps. 

Make sense now?  pig snorts – I always work better with a visual – 🙂

So here are the rules to the Tag Game –

1. Post these rules.  √ DONE
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random facts about you.  √ See Below
3. Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s photo. √ See Below
4. Create 11 new questions and tag new people to answer them. √ See Below
5. Go to their blog and let them know they’ve been ‘tagged’. √

Random Facts About “ME”… the amazing Bacon 🙂

1. I’m not really that ‘big’ like you see in the picture above.  The couch sits low and the angle of the picture makes it look like I’m ginormous… but I’m not.  I weigh a healthy 45 pounds which is really small compared to a regular pig that gets upwards 300 pounds! 
2. My tail gives me away every.single.time.  It’s such a magical item – my tail.  When I’m happy, I wag it like no tomorrow.  This happens when I eat, when mom calls my name or when I’m playing.  When it doesn’t wag and is at half staff – snort – I’m not too happy.  When it is at full staff, watch out because I’m fixing to potty – double snort.
3. I speak human and mom speaks pig.  I know what she means when she tells me to go to my room, get ready for bed, get on the couch, come take a bath, etc.  She’s my mom – 🙂 I speak mom 100%
4. Do you know how purr things and barky things mark items and get happy by rolling around on the floors?  I do the same thing.  Mom *always* laughs at me when I do that.  She thinks it’s a hoot.
5. Just like regular ‘kids’, I have chores.  I have to help clean my room and I have to help bring my laundry to the laundry room.  And, I have to take care of Bashful – that’s almost a full time job!
6. I eat Cheerios for breakfast with my piggy chow every morning.  It keeps me heart smart – what?  A pig has to watch his heart and cholesterol too.
7. I eat a mixed salad every night for dinner with my piggy chow.  See, I eat healthy to maintain these handsome figure.
8. One of my favorite all time snacks is popcorn.  Just the buttery smell of it, the sizzle of the kernels in the oil on the stove and the ‘pop-pop-pop’ sound gets me running from my bedroom all the way to the kitchen at the Hotel Thompson.  Mom always shares with me 🙂
9. One of my favorite television shows to watch on television is called Wipeout.  I LOVE this show.  I jump on the couch, snuggle in with mom and watch the entire hour. It’s hilarious!  I highly recommend it.  I think they need to have a celebrity Wipeout.  That would be so much fun!  Oh and by the way, it helps that I have a MAJOR piggy crush on Jill Wagner – hubba hubba
10. My Netflix account has a lot of ‘Who Done It”  shows in the que.  I love watching them as well on the ID channel (Investigative Discovery).  It’s kind of like the old game Clue.  I like to try to figure out who the culprit is before the end of the show.  Sometimes I do – sometimes I don’t.
11. My favorite gameshow to watch on television is a tie between Jeopardy with Alex Trebek and Family Feud with Steve Harvey.  They keep me on my toes.  Of course, that is a post on its own for the very near future 🙂

Questions Asked of Me –

1. What’s the worst thing you had to eat?  This is easy – kumquats – the most vile thing in the world! Supposedly in theory, they have a sweet skin that you eat as well as a tart pulp.  Most pigs like them – I detest them.  Mom so wishes she could have gotten a picture of my face when I bit into one that she gave me.  My ears twitched up and she swears I made a face.  It was disgusting.  It’s the only thing that I have turned away food wise.  Amazing, huh?
2. Do you like TV commercials?  I love television commercials – especially from my buddy Maxwell.  You know the famous man pig that does the Geico commercials.  He is a happening dude my friends!
3. Have you ever wrote a love letter to a celebrity? Piggy blushes.  Yes I did.  I once wrote Miss Piggy a love letter telling her about my unswaying love for her.  She never replied and ran off with that amphibian that calls himself Kermit.  Love is so fickle my friends.
4. What’s your favorite movie?  Don’t hate me when I say this but Muppet Twilight.  Mom got all worked up over the Twilight series and I thought this was way better.  Right?
5. Do you like car driving by night? I don’t personally drive but mom does.  She *hates* driving at night.  And well, I don’t really like going out with her at night because you see pigs have really bad vision to begin with.  That and darkness doesn’t match.  And okay, I’m a little – LITTLE – afraid of the dark.  ssshh – don’t tell anyone.
6. What’s your favorite ice cream?  I prefer any ice cream, maybe strawberry wins top notch.  Bashful likes  the rocky road ice cream.
7. What’s the first thing you do in the morning?  I have to wizzy first thing in the morning – doesn’t everyone? 
8. Did you have posters on your wall as you were a teenager?  Which ones?  I have posters of Miss Piggy, Angry Birds, Three Little Pigs, etc on my walls.  Did you know when mom was a teenager she had a picture of King Tut on her wall?!  Can you believe that?  How nerdy was that?
9. Can you play a musical instrument?  Which one?  Mom says I play the tuba when I eat too much cabbage.  I’m not sure what she means by that.
10. If you were a teenager, would you join in casting shows?  I would love to be casted in a television show as well myself.  I think I could bring a lot of comedy to the show.  Don’t you think?
11. Do you prefer to listen to music, watching television or nothing to fall asleep?  Usually mom tucks me in, sometimes she reads me a story or we watch a quick cartoon together.  Most of the time, I drift off asleep while she reads.
