Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon –  Now sometimes when people meet at the park they give hugs.  Sometimes when dogs or cats meet at the park, they sniff butts.  Hey, it’s what we do, right?  Well we have had enough of the butt sniffing.  A group of my friends have decided that hugs are the new hello in the dog world.  Maybe you should join us in our new mission.  Signed Hugs

Dear Hugs – That sounds like a game plan my new friends.  I never got the butt sniffing thing for hello anyway.  Heck, I’ve smelled what comes out of my dad’s butt.  No way in this piggy world I want to sniff it to say hello.  Carry on the great work and I’ll be doing my part for the cause in giving hugs not butt sniffs!

Dear Bacon –  I have drawn the line.  Mom always tells me I’m her little flower.  Now she is trying to make me her little flower.  Help.  Signed Bud in Progress

Dear Bud in Progress – I know it seems weird and it is.  But you gotta think on the other paw of this.  If it makes your human happy and she is daunting on you and giving you snacks, does it really matter?  You have found the pot at the end of the rainbow.

Dear Bacon –  We are family.  Our humans wanted a Christmas card this year showing our family.  We said okay but we wanted to pose as we wanted to pose – no help from the humans.  So what do you think?  Do you think this screams We Are Family in our Christmas Card?  Signed Family

Dear Family – Way to go my friends – Bravo! Bravo!  That picture screams family, diversity, togetherness and being united as one.  What more could you do?  I have to ask – that picture “looks” like you all get along and are so close.  Are you?  Or was this a snap-this-picture-now-before-I-hurt-someone kind of picture?  Cause I’m telling you, you are pulling it off.  Great card – don’t forget to send me one here at the Hotel Thompson.

 Dear Bacon –  We are buddies and sometimes secret hero’s.  Really, this is us clowning around during the night.  But during the day, we are the Pig and the Hare Hero’s.  We visit children’s hospitals and bring smiles to the faces we meet.  We highly recommend it.  Signed Hero’s at Large

Dear  Hero’s at Large – OMP!  You are certainly right my friends.  You are HERO’s.  Not all hero’s have to wear capes or have special talents.  Although I have to admit that you do have special powers of bring smiles to the faces that need it most.  Carry on my cute duo!

Dear Bacon –  Can you believe this?  There I was sitting back, relaxing and minding my own business.  My human said that he needed socks and to get out of his drawer.  What?  First up human, mind who you are talking to and second, you should have thought about socks before you left your drawer open inviting me.  I think you should go without socks today because I’m not moving.  Move me or reach around me and you may be wearing a sock over your bandage.  What bandage?  They bandage from the boo-boo I will leave on your arm.  Carry on now and be gone.  Signed Sock Keeper

Dear Sock Keeper – You know you do have a great point there my friend.  They should have thought about that when they left the drawer open.  Snorts – don’t do anything I wouldn’t do in that drawer.

Remember my friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU.  Please continue to send me your pictures and questions to my email address.

 

 

 

 

Did You Hear That Silence?

   Awesome – there was a silence that I believed went around the world last night.  It started here at the Hotel Thompson.  It was like you could see it in slow motion from outside of your body.  The silence went through the house, around the house and then further out into the unknown traveling at the speed of light until the entire world heard silence.  Did you hear it?  Maybe you did and you just didn’t realize it?  Okay you’re asking yourself, “Pig, what happened?”  I’m glad you asked because I’m going to tell you – snorts.

We were all in the living room doing what we do every night.  You know camping out on the sofa’s, playing games and watching the television.  Daddy asked mommy a question.  You see when he does this, it usually means trouble.  Why do you ask?  Because usually daddy doesn’t know the answer but when mommy tells him her answer he usually doesn’t believe it until proven wrong.  This has been going on for a while now – rolls piggy eyes.  That father of mine – trouble maker #01 okay.

Mommy has had enough of the twenty question game – snorts.  So daddy pops out this question.  Mommy tells him the answer.  Of course daddy tells her she’s wrong but yet again he doesn’t know the ‘correct’ answer.  So mommy does what she does best – she Googles it.  << by the way, thanks Google>>

She finds the answer and tells daddy the answer.  Then something amazing happened.  I’m so glad that I was there to witness this cause friends I’m telling you it was GREAT.  Daddy told mommy those three little words that girls go crazy over.  He said it with so much sincerity and so much ❤ .  Even I was in awe – they almost melted my little piggy ❤ .  Of course those three little words just melted mom down to the core.  He said, “I was wrong.”

It just made me think of the phrase, “When Pigs Fly” snorts.  But do you know what was more important?  What was more fascinating?  What was more heart stopping than those three words?  They were followed by three more words that would make any woman’s heart stomp thumping.  They were, “You were right”.

OMP!  Has daddy been reading books on how to get your woman to fall in love with you all over again?  Bravo daddy – Bravo.  I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I didn’t witness it my friends.
