Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon, You gotta help this little pooch out.  Now that the weather has gotten cooler, pumpkins are everywhere doing gross things.  My humans have decorated my pad – including my front porch.  Every time I walk out front into my yard, I see this.  Mr. Pumpkin just can’t hold his beer.  It’s a crying shame these pumpkins.  I think this one needs rehab STAT.  What about you – you coming across this same thing?  Signed FiFi

Dear FiFi – Unfortunately my friend.  It is the time of the pumpkin.  Pumpkins do not have a chance here at the Hotel Thompson. Mom loves them and does all kinds of weird things to them.  And then afterwards, she gives me the pumpkin in the backyard.  Let’s just say that my backyard can be considered a crime scene after I take care of pumpkin.  Did I mention that me and my mom love pumpkins?  Snorts with piggy laughter.

Dear Bacon,

Some days when I want to feel like a bad puddy cat, I put on my wig and climb trees.  It freaks out animals, small children and older folks in my neighborhood.  They actually think I’m a lion.  I’m thinking of wearing this for Halloween.  What do you think?  Signed Roar

Dear Roar,

I can’t say much my little friend.  I like to wear a cape around town.  I think it’s original of you to wear your wig.  Somehow I think it really becomes you.  If I was walking down your street and saw you in a tree, I would be afraid.  I’m shaking now as I type this.  Go for it my little man – go for it!

Dear Bacon – Hey dude!  We have started decorating here at our casa.  I wanted to share something we put together in your honor.  We gotta let our pumpkin and love of pigs shine through.  Hope you enjoy it.  Signed The Smiths

Dear The Smiths – Squeals with piggy excitement.  OMP – Now that’s what I’m talking about.  I think that is the coolest thing I’ve seen so far for Halloween.  I love the creativity of your pumpkins as piglets.  Awesome for sure.  Thanks for sharing with me.  Happy Halloween!

Dear Bacon,
I love leather. I love the feel of it against my fur. Can you be honest and tell me if this jacket gives me chicken legs? Signed Biker Chick

Dear Biker CHICK,
So your question is does your leather jacket make you “look” like you have chicken legs? Now that’s a good questions. No, not at all. Your jacket doesn’t give that appearance at all. I think that diamond necklace draws attention to that gorgeous face of yours. Walking off shaking head laughing.

Due to Halloween, we are repeating some of our more hilarious letters.  Hope you enjoy my sweet friends ❤

 

Do You Judge a Book by its Cover?

Do you sometimes look at a person and make a quick judgement of that person’s character without knowing anything about them?  It’s only natural and I think humans do it all of the time.  I mean personally, if I was to cross a clown – regardless if he looked nice or not – I would squeal like there was a 1000 hounds after me cause I ain’t talking to no clown.  Capice?

But humans – they are different.  Do they judge other peeps by what they wear?  How they look?  What they drive?  Sure they do.  That’s what makes us all different.  BUT, are they missing out on some good friendships along their way in life by making harsh judgments?

Take this situation that recently happened with mom.  Mom, dad and Nana went to a Mexican restaurant recently.  There was a line and they were standing in a corner waiting for their name to be called.  In the meantime, this family came in (mom and dad with their daughter who was about 8-9 years old).  They put their name in to the hostess and stoodd across the room.  The daughter wanted to be held so the mom picked her up.  In doing so, her hands were full so of course the hub unit holds her purse (which is another posting for another day – snorts with piggy laughter).

Now, mom thought it was hilarious to see the guy holding the mom’s purse so she walks over to him.  She gets really close to him and says, “That purse is awesome with your outfit.  I give it a 10”.  Now, the guy grins and says to mom, “Thank you darling.  I try to coordinate.”  It was totally hilarious and a great laugh was held by all.  When mom came back, Nana was laughing and told her she was brave.  Mom asked why and Nana told her why.  This is what got our minds going about judging a book by its cover.

Would you have done this like mom?  How about if the guy had long black hair, a beard and a mustache?  How about if the guy was wearing all black with lots of studs and leather?  How about if the guy was a biker dude?  How about if the guy was packing heat and had a gun on his hip?  Would any of this make a difference to you if he was a ‘biker dude’ or ‘the guy next door’?

I’m not saying that all biker dudes are nice – far from it.  But we are saying that sometimes one needs to not make first judgments of someone.  And let me tell you something, if anyone knows that it’s mom with her new purple hair.  Some of the most friendliest and loyal friends can just be different 🙂  That’s your piggy thought for the day ♥

Dear Bacon,
I hate baths. My humans think I need one every once in a while. I don’t. I mean why? I’ll just get dirty again, right? What can I do to change their minds? Signed On The Edge

Dear On The Edge,
Have you really tried to enjoy one my friend? It looks like your humans went all out and even put bubbles in the water. It even looks like a great tub my friend. I bet the water was even nice and warm. I myself love me a nice long bath. Especially when mom puts treats in the water. Maybe your humans need to try that? Suggest it and see how you feel then.

Dear Bacon,
All my life, I’ve been slow. Let me change that. I’ve been slower than slow… If that’s even a speed! People have been making jokes about me for years. But nowadays, watch out. I got some wheels and there I zoomed by. They catch me these days riding dirty. Have you ever thought about riding? Signed Slow and Steady

Dear Slow and Steady,
You look good. You really do. Just be safe. Me on a bike? Snort – you have to be kidding. Bikes don’t have doors. I’ve got to protect this work of art. The closest I get to a cycle is moms Smart car. Snort LOL. Ride on my friend.

Dear Bacon,
Hee hee. You’re always talking about those purr things that you love with on your page. I thought I would share a picture of what I do to my purr things. Laughing. I hide around corners until they walk by me. I think my purr thing only has maybe two life’s left. Rolling around laughing. Signed Gotcha

Dear Gotcha,
I have to admit that this is a good one. I will be saving it for future reference… I mean future not to do. Yeah, that’s it. Thanks my friend.

Dear Bacon,
Have you ever played patty cake? Me and my dears have a great time playing this during the day. It makes the day go by so much faster. We’re getting really good at it. I think that it should be made into an Olympic Game, don’t you? When one of us misses a move, another of our friends jump in to replace them. It’s a hoot! It makes our down season, I mean our life go by so quickly. Signed Reindeer Gamers

Dear Reindeer Gamers,
No. I can’t say that I’ve ever played patty cake. My hooves are kind of oddly shaped. And, I really don’t have that kind of balance with this pot belly if you know what I mean. It gets in the way when I try to ‘stand’. It looks kind of fun though. Perhaps you should video tape it and let it go viral on line at YouTube. Have fun my friends.

Dear Bacon,
I know you can relate man. You talk about your snout. Heck, look at my snout per say. It’s a sharp situation. No touching noses with this thing my friend. Signed Horny

Dear Horny,
Ouch. You got me on that one. Be safe with that thing my friend.
