Dear Bacon
Dear Bacon – There. I’m ready for Winter. Bring it on Mother Nature. I’m ready to get rid of the heat and welcome the cooler weather. My scarf is ready and I’m waiting. Tap.tap.tap. That’s my paws tapping while I’m waiting. When is this winter suppose to get here pal? Signed Scarf Dog
Dear Scarf Dog – Oh my friend. I agree with you about weather. And you do look so very sharp in your scarf – you will be ready for it when Mother Nature decides to play nice. Now, we have had some cooler days and I can tell with my piggy senses that it’s coming. But winter is still a far piece away. Autumn will be here September 23. Winter is not officially here until December December 21. So we do have some time. But Autumn does bring cooler weather too. And this little oinker can’t wait! Until then, stay cool my friend.
Dear Bacon – Sometimes you just need a sleep buddy to hold on to to keep the nightmares away. It’s always better knowing someone is there for you. Do you have a sleep buddy? Signed Ginger Twins
Dear Ginger Twins – I think that’s a fabulous idea my friends. Mom and dad go to sleep holding hands. They say that otters do the same thing so they don’t float away from each other in the water. You see, lots of anipals do this and I do believe it’s a wonderful way to fall off to sleep knowing someone has your paw. Sometimes I sleep with mom/dad and get close to them. Other times, Houdini or Mouse Girl will bunk with me and lay real close.
Dear Bacon – It’s not bad enough that I have to wear the cone of shame. Oh no. I should have known something was up when my human dad wanted to hold me for a second. I could feel him doing something to my cone of shame but didn’t know what. That is until I met up with the mirror and saw his creation. Really dad? Perhaps I should get you a cone of shame? Signed Bat Cat
Dear Bat Cat – I have to admit it my friend but that cone of shame is priceless. How many other purr things do you know that can say their cone of shame was made just for them. I say wear it with pride and hey give your human daddy some slack. His creativity could make you ‘the cat’ of the neighborhood. Give it a test and see what I mean. Others will be so jealous!
Dear Bacon – Okay I let the humans sleep in on the weekend. I didn’t pounce on them and wake them up. I showed respect and refrained from barking my head off. But this is where I draw the line. It is now noon and my bowl is empty. I’m going to start wasting away soon without my food. Darn these paws. If I had fingers, I could get my own food out of the bag and refrigerator. Humans – WAKE UP. Signed Hungry Jack
Dear Hungry Jack – WOW – noon huh? That is total control on your part my friend. Perhaps pull the humans blankets off of them? They will wake up quickly with that. And this picture is priceless for them. Perhaps email or text it to their magical cell phones. They wake up pretty quick when those things ring too. Hope you get fed soon 🙂
Dear Bacon
Dear Bacon – Really!? Have you ever had one of those mornings? There I was in the bathroom drinking out of my personal fountain when my pops got out of the shower. Oh have mercy. I threw my arms in the air like I just didn’t care and told him that I gave. I mean really. Should anyone be unfortunate to see their humans getting out of the wet shower… naked. I think I may need psychiatric help for years after this. I really thought he was trying to hold me up. Shaking my purr head. Signed Hands Up Among Other Things
.
Dear Hands Up Among Other Things – Thank you my friend. Now I among all of my faithful readers will now be in psychiatric help right there along with you. Once has been read can now not be unread and we will all have this visions in our mind. Thanks for sharing my friend. I hope therapy helps for all of us – snorts.
.
Dear Bacon – Batcat lives. My shadow says everything. I am the real Batcat. Be afraid. Signed Batcat
Dear Batman – Well there you go then my friend. The shadow never lies. You are most definitely Batcat for sure. Now be very still in that position. I would hate to see you lose one of your lives since well you know since you are Batcat.
.
Dear Bacon – Day 3 and the pooches have no clue of my secretive undercover mission here. I tell you my friend – I have the power! I get to hear everything that they talk about. It’s not as exciting as what I thought. Meows. Signed Purr Thing on the Downlow
Dear Purr Thing on the Downlow – WOW. Really they don’t have interesting conversations? You haven’t heard anything exciting. Tell us. What do dogs really think about all day. You can tell us. It’s about licking themselves isn’t it? Snorts with piggy laughter.
Dear Bacon – Help me. If this picture doesn’t scream HELP – how many other ways can I say that? What human in their right mind would ever think this was awesome or fun for us? Really? Tell me the advertising for this contraption didn’t have those words. Because I’ll tell you something Bacon – it’s not fun. It’s not awesome. It’s confining. It’s hot. I think I will pee all over my human in disgust. What say you? Signed Pussy in a Bubble
Dear Pussy in a Bubble – I’m sitting here just shaking my head my friend. What moron came up with this idea? Squeeze a purr thing in a book bag? Really? You look like you are counting the ways of getting even. I kind of agree with peeing all over your human. Let’s see how water proof that bag is right now. Betcha he wouldn’t do that again. Let me know if he does though… oh my!
.
Dear Bacon – Look pig – even though I’m a dog I have to make my statement. I’m not just an ordinary Yorkshire Terrier. I’m much more than that. I have personality. I have to make my mark in today’s world. What better way than having a creative hairstyle. Hey, humans do it all of the time. Why can’t us anipals? Explain that to me huh. What do you think. Too Goth? Not enough Goth? Should I paint my nails black as well? Signed Goth In Training
Dear Goth In Training – Let me tell you my friend. I am impressed and slightly jealous. I love your look. It gives you style. It makes you stand out. It gives you the umph that you need to say, “Hey, I am my own dog.” I love it and think the little guy here Houdini needs to pay attention to this letter and make a stand for himself. And yes why not to black nails. I say you live once, live it to the fullest!

REMEMBER my friends, Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please remember to send me your pictures and letters to my email address. ♥

Shopping with Mom/Dad
You know for mommy not to like to shop, daddy sure has been taking her off a lot on these weekends. And it seems innocent enough. Really it does. Until they get home and I start looking around on her iPhone pictures and come across some of her “shots” from the day. But what she doesn’t realize is that all of our electronics are on the “cloud” here at the Hotel Thompson. Therefore some of her pictures will come across my iPad – evil snorts. That’s just our little secret okay. What mom doesn’t know won’t hurt her.
Let’s look at picture 1 on mom/dad’s adventure out from this weekend. Mom/dad – you have some explaining to do! Mom said they stopped for gas at a local Quick Trip. Daddy saw this sign and had to investigate. A “Maple Bacon Quickshake”. Really Quick Trip? Rolls piggy eyes. Dear heavens above help us all.
Now, did I even have to ask mommy if daddy got one? Do I? Of course he did. That’s my dad – the adventurer. It’s a funny thing though. When I asked mom what it taste like, she knew. So mom – you want to tell me how you knew? I’ll wait for your answer. Tapping hooves.
I know you want to know too my friends. Mom said it had a strong sweet taste from the maple but it also had bacon bits in it. Now that just sounds so wrong. Bacon bits. I can give you some bacon bits – snorts!
Then upon further exploring mom’s pictures, I came across these shots of daddy doing another thing he does best – acting silly with some new pig friends he met – SuperPig, BatPig and ElvisPig. Shakes piggy head. Daddy I think you need professional help – snorts. So, did you do anything exciting this weekend my friends?
Dear Bacon
Dear Bacon – 
Life is so not fair dude. Life has become so politically correct lately that no wants to do the things they were doing before because they feel they don’t have to. Do you know what I mean? This is me. I told my human I needed to go for a walk. What do they do? They give me the pan and sweeper, told me to walk myself and to clean up after myself. What? Isn’t that what the humans are suppose to do? Not anymore they said. They said that it wasn’t their poop and I needed to clean it myself. Enough with this politically correct stuff already. What do you say? Signed Swifter
Dear Swifter – Oh pal, I so get you. People are taking life way too serious and need to lighten up a bit. Life is too short to be in a constant battle of being politically correct. I say give back that pan and sweeper to the humans. You are not playing that game. If they don’t agree, I think a few strategic poop bombs will work – snorts. Let me know how it works out for you okay.
Dear Bacon – I don’t get it. Everyday at the zoo, I come out to greet the humans. They all make Batman jokes. I just don’t get and understand it. My name is Ben not Batman. Do you get it and if you do can you please explain this to me. Shakes bear head. Signed Ben
Dear Ben – Smiles and oinks. You see my friend there is the superhero called Batma
n. Batman’s symbol is like the one here to the right. I wanted to show you this picture because I need you to see what it looks like. Now, I need you to go look in the mirror at your handsome chest. Do you see the resemblance? That’s right – nods head. You are Batbear! Snorts with piggy laughter.
I think personally that is a HUGE compliment. You have the same markings as a superhero. That makes *you* a superhero my friend. Think about that. You have talent. I say work it up for all it’s worth and have fun with your markings.
.
Dear Bacon – squeaks! For my birthday, all I asked for was one little thing. I wanted a Radio Flyer. The small human here has one and they play with theirs all of the time. It looks like so much fun. I wanted one too. That way the little human could pull me around the house and have fun. The day of my birthday, I woke up and guess what?! I had my Radio Flyer! Have you ever been in one? I feel like I can fly! What do you think? Do I make this Radio Flyer? Signed Pig on Wheels
Dear Pig on Wheels – Awesome my friend. You totally rock that look and look like you are having the time of your life. I’ve never been in a Radio Flyer. I think I may need to add one to my Christmas list this year. I think could get use to sitting in it and having people pull me all around. Squeals with delight – carry on and have fun!
.
Dear Bacon – Is it working? I saw the hunk of my dreams walk by. I’ve heard on television that one way the humans attract their mates is to flip their hair. I thought I would give it try. What do you think? Yes or no? Signed Fluffy
Dear Fluffy – hubba hubba my sweet. I think it is so working. You flipped that hair so seductively. If you flipped it my way, I would be so taken with your beauty and wonder. If your friend doesn’t catch on, let me know. Call me okay.
.
Dear Bacon – That stinking purr thing has ticked me off for the last time. Every time I turn around, Mr. Giggles does something to *me* and then blames me for anything and everything when the humans are looking. Mr. Giggles steals my puppy food, drinks my water and sleeps in my masters bed near his head. Enough of this. I’m a dog in charge. Mr. Giggles is going to get it in three, two, one – BOOM. Signed Mr. Pooky
Dear Pooky – Shakes piggy head. First off my friend, I thought your humans were a little eccentric naming the kitty Mr. Giggles. Then I saw your name, Mr. Pooky. Not like there is anything wrong with that, it’s just unique. Have you thought this through all of the way? If you scare the giggles out of Mr. Giggles, rolls eyes, can you imagine what he is going to do to you for payback? Cause you know it’s going to happen my friend. I’d say rethink the situation and see possibly how you can set him up like he does to you. Maybe take one of Mr. Giggles furballs and strategically place it on your master’s pillow. That might be a better route. Not that I would know anything like that or not. Looks innocent and whistles.
Remember my friends, Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please keep sending me your letters and pictures to my email address.
Do You Get This?
Okay my friends – think really, REALLY hard on this picture and see if you get it. Let me know what you think. Concentrate now.
My Dad – The Superhero – Final Week
WEEK No. 6
Okay friends – Christmas is coming up soon…for those counting 103 days – snorts. Well my daddy, he is special – we all know that. He loves his toys. Literally, the man ❤ toys. He and mom went to Wally World a couple of weeks back and the first place he goes is the toy section. What can I say. My father is a child at heart. When they came back home, I found these pictures on mom’s iPhone. OMP (Oh my pig) is all I can say… and maybe WOW.
My dad wants to be a superhero. Now I know where I get those feelings from… I’ve always wanted to be Super Pig. So I’m thinking that with Christmas coming up soon, I’m going to buy him a costume from me – his number one piggy son. That’s where I need your help my friends. In the next six weeks, I’m going to show you a picture that mommy took of daddy in the toy section. At the end of six weeks, YOU can vote who my daddy needs to be and what I get him for Christmas. Sounds fair to me, you?
Okay – this week’s picture – thoughts? My dad – Batman. Alfred – get the Batcave ready – here we come!
Voting is next Friday! Thanks for all of your comments on my dad’s superhero masks for Christmas. Don’t forget to vote Friday, September 19, 2014 – snorts oinks
Dear Wallace and Samuel – Special Edition
September we are highlighting some of my friends who volunteered to help me out with my Dear Bacon issue. Today’s special edition is by two cute adorable little Scottie brothers – Wallace and Samuel. If you don’t know Wallace and Samuel, you *must* go visit them and check them out. Tell them that Bacon sent you. Now, on to some great advice to help out our fellow anipals.
Dear Wallace and Samuel,
Help. We have some really nosey and crazy neighbors. They are always trying to find out what is going on in my crib. Today I saw them looking into my window. I thought I would teach them a lesson and let them know what I thought about them. It’s amazing what a good stretch in the direction can tell them. Meow. Any more ideas? Signed Tails Up.
Dear Tails Up,
If your Peeping Tom neighbours don’t get the message after that eyeful of booty we suggest kicking it up a notch, how about treating them to a fine feline operatic performance at say 2am? Alternatively, nothing says “back off” quite like a week old dead mouse bouquet. If all else fails we recommend a good old restraining order. Good luck! Wally & Sammy
.
Dear Wallace and Samuel,
I.hate.baths. Can I say that any louder? Can I express that any louder in this picture? Get it over already and baptize me so I can get out of this tub of water. What do you suggest I think about during this torture? Signed Water Logged
Dear Water Logged,
Samuel here – I hear you loud and clear buddy! I too am not a lover of water or baths or baths filled with water. Based on personal experience I suggest you focus on the one of the following: a) the fun towel rub down you’ll get when the water torture is over OR 2) the fun you will have shaking all that water off you and onto your peep *snicker snicker* OR c) the fun you’re going to have rolling in something REALLY stinky first chance you get. Happy daydreaming! Sammy (and Wally)
.

Dear Wallace and Samuel,
My mom says that everyone has a beauty mark somewhere on their body. Mine just happens to be on my snout an looks like a heart. Do you see it? What kind of beauty mark do you have? Signed Heart of Snouts
Dear Heart of Snouts,
How frickin’ adorable are you!! We got mom to do a full body search of both of us looking for our beauty marks and you know what…she couldn’t find one!! Not one!! We’re not going to lie, this worries us a little and we’ve asked mom to make us an appointment at the tattoo parlor asap so that we can have one made – for some reason she is dragging her paws about making the appointment. We hope we can still be friends…even though we are beauty markless. Wally & Sammy
.
Dear Wallace and Samuel,
I’m sending you this picture for evidence. It was the last selfie that I took when the boys were chasing me. What? Wouldn’t you have done the same thing? Bad barks are chasing you and you take a selfie with the cell phone? What can I do to make the bad barks quit chasing me? They didn’t catch me this date. I ran into a log that they couldn’t get into. Can you help me out? Signed Faster than Pooches
Dear Faster than Pooches
This is an easy one…STOP TAKING SELFIES!! Seriously dude, put the phone down and walk away. We guarantee you those pooches won’t even sniff you twice if you get rid of the phone and start behaving like an ordinary cat. Nobuddy likes a show off especially a show off who needs to document his every move, meal and meow. Embrace living off the grid. Wally & Sammy
.
Dear Wallace and Samuel,
I don’t get it. I jumped in this box. My human dad took a pen and did something to the front. Afterward he was laughing hysterically. I don’t get it. Can you help me out? Signed Bat Cat
Dear Bat Cat
What can we say, small things amuse small (hooman) minds. We can see what effect your dad was going for here butt unfortunately it is lost as soon as you climb out of the box. We recommend pushing the box to the nearest mirror…it will all make sense then. And remember: Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman cat, then always be Batmancat. And remember: Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman cat, then always be Batmancat.

Dear Bacon – Super Hero Special
Recently, I’ve received a lot of mail in the form of Super Hero’s. I wanted to save them for a special edition of Dear Bacon. I hope you in blogville enjoy them as much as me and my parents did when we got them. Snorts – Happy Tuesday!
**********************************************************************************************************************
Dear Bacon,
We heard about your mission in life on becoming a Super Hero and wanting a cape. I think me and my brother will start a petition for you. With enough signatures, I think we can get your mom to get you at least dressed for the occasion. Super hero powers are something that you are born with. We’ve read enough of your blog to know that with enough thrust, you can fly. So, you’re half way there our friend. Signed Batdog and Robin
Dear Batdog and Robin,
Thanks my friends! Ya’ll look totally awesome in your outfits. I am so working on mom for my cape. I could use all of the help I can get!
.
Dear Bacon,
Don’t believe everything you read. Having a cape isn’t always the best thing in the world. My humans make me wear this cape and then make me sit in the corner. Why? Ask me why piggy? Because I got so excited with my cape that I might have tinkled on the carpet. What did they expect? So, they sat me in the corner with my cape on for time out. How embarrassing! Take it from me little guy. Don’t whizzle with excitement. Signed Super Tinkle
Dear Super Tinkle,
I’m so sorry my friend. That look on your face says everything. At least they could have removed your cape before putting you in time out. What super hero gets put in time out? Having a cape is exciting. I really can’t tell how I will act. But, thanks for the heads up to contain myself – whizzle and all.
.
Dear Bacon,
Be very specific in what you ask for in a cape. I too always wanted one. I just should have been a little more specific in the details. You know like, nothing over my head. Save that material to cover my goodies. I mean really. What super hero is out there with his goodies showing? I feel like a pervedog. Help. Signed Spider Perve
Dear Spider Perve,
WOW – thank you so much my little friend. I really never thought about specifics in my cape. You are so right. I really need to be detailed on what I want in a cape. Okay – nothing on the piggy head but covering the bottom half – got it. Yeah, you are so right my friend!
.
Dear Bacon,
Okay, I like turtles and I play with them in my back yard. Yes, I wanted to be a Super Hero. Where in the world did I go wrong with my parents? Why would they dress me like a TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle) and think that was what I wanted in my Super Hero outfit? Really? Learn from me pal, have an open conversation with your humans. Signed Turtle Dog
Dear Turtle Dog,
Does it help that you look cute and adorable? Okay, maybe that doesn’t help but you do. Personally, I wouldn’t go for the mask but at least your goodies are covered – snorts. And hey, the shell on your back could be a good thing. Just think if you fall, you have the comfort of some padding. I do appreciate the heads up my friend.
.
Dear Bacon,
Just remember, Super Hero’s come in all shapes and sizes – not just dogs and cats. We can ALL be a Super Hero in some fashion. My humans got it right in my cape. It actually gives me just a tad bit of room to grow in. It’s so roomy that I can move. That’s important when you are doing your ninja kicks. I hope you get your cape soon my friend. Fly with Confidence! Signed Super Piggy
Dear Super Piggy,
Thanks my friend. You are so full of confidence and that really inspires me. It reminds me of an old saying that my mommy says all of the time, “Bloom where you are planted.” I guess that could mean us anipals as well, huh? Keep up the great work my little Super Hero. Hope to see you flying in the skies soon.
.
I really hope that you enjoyed this Super Hero Special of Dear Bacon. I also really want to say thank you to all of my friends and family that send me emails with pictures and questions. These Dear Bacon issues are by far the highlight of my week. I put a lot of thought behind my answers and I hope that it shows. Remember, us anipals have problems too. If you have something you want to ask, please remember to send it to me at Baconthompson@gmail.com
Have a great one!
Piglove
