Dear Bacon,
Do you ever question yourself to as whether you’re coming or going? Me and my brother have asked ourselves that a lot these days. So much so, that the master thought it would be fun to take this picture. Signed Running Circles
Dear Running Circles,
That’s a great visual. I do run in circles very often. Usually mom helps me out though and puts me in the right direction. That is an awesome picture of you two together. You are so lucky to have a brother. Sometimes I wish I had a biological brother besides the purr things. Could you imagine what life would be like with two of us?! We would rule the world!
Dear Bacon,
You’re not the only one a little spoiled by the humans. Every night, we all get ready for bed and hang out. Aren’t my humans the best? I set up the camera and took this shot last night. Signed Three’s a Party
Dear Three’s a Party,
Snort laughing. That is so hilarious! Yes humans are the best if they allow that nightly. I on the other hand appreciates my independence of my own room…with my own television and my own bed. Not that I’m spoiled or anything like you. And, I think you got your signature wrong. I think it should be Three’s a Crowd. Snort. Happy sleeps!
Dear Bacon,
The humans told me that I had to take a bath. They also told me that I didn’t have to get in the tub. I never thought the alternative would be a tub in the sink. How humiliating! Have you ever? Signed Suds
Dear Suds,
WOW. I haven’t seen that much bubble action since mom took her last bubble bath in the big tub. That’s a lot of suds. Baths aren’t that bad. You need to live up all of that attention. Enjoy the sauna experience little guy. Don’t fight something that is going to happen with or without your participation.
Dear Bacon,
Maybe you are or maybe you’re not familiar with this look. I like to do it when there is a lot of people in the house. That makes me the center of attention. Wink – Signed, Splitsville
Dear Spiltsville,
That is really an accomplishment. I think I have done the split in the kitchen on the linoleum several times. Not that I was trying to but these hooves have a tendency to slide on slippery surfaces. I’m sliding so bad in the kitchen that mom finally put a huge sheet on the floor for me to waddle in to help her cook. That way that move doesn’t happen to me. Way to go with the thinking of attention. Two hooves up partner!
❤ Remember friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please send me your letters and pictures to my email ❤
Dear Bacon, See there’s this place called the GYM that humans and animals work out at all of the time. You should find it. You’re starting to look a little porky – bark – ha. Signed Stud Muffin
Dear Mutt Stud, You want to go there huh? This exquisite body is 45 pounds of lean shapely pig. I’m called a pot bellied pig for a reason. It takes a lot of work to maintain this exquisite physique. You should only inspire to have this high performance body one day my friend. That is all.
Dear Bacon, I do not know why you insist on calling those bubbly things in water a spa adventure. They are not and I will not abide. You and the humans can not make me.
I will not partake in that watery death sentence. Signed Cornered
Dear Cornered, WOW – I commend you on the nose in the corner situation. Is it really all that bad? I would think that you for one would love to play with the bubbles.
I know the purr things here do when mom is in bubble land. Did you even stick a paw in the suds?
Dear Bacon, I’ve heard in your Netflix que you have a lot of ghost and life after death shows. HA – I think I’m right up your alley little man. Any time you want to take the challenge, you just let me know. I think I can accommodate you. Signed Precious
Dear Precious, Who you been talking to about my private Netflix account? I’m good. Really I am. I do find it intriguing but not so much to take a challenge physically to find out. I thank you very much though for the offer. It was awfully nice of you and I appreciate the thoughts. You just take it easy and try not hurt yourself okay. Thanks anyhow!
Dear Bacon, Sing with me little oinker –
You put your right foot in, You put your right foot out, You put your right foot in And you shake it all about. You do the Hokey Pokey And you turn yourself around, That’s what it’s all about.
Signed Dancing and Singing Elephant
Dear DAS Elephant, I absolutely loved it and needed that snort. Thanks so much my friend. Keep up the fabulous work!
❤ Remember friends, Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to email me your pictures and letters. ❤
Dear Bacon – sshh be very quiet. I’m the KING of hide and go seek with the dumb dog. He *never* looks up. I could have killed him several times with these massive claws of mine but I didn’t. I let him live to see another day of how stupid he is. Meow – just goes to show that the cat is the better breed in the anipal world. How are you at hide and go seek my friend? Signed Meows Hanging Tall
Dear Hanging Tall – I would have to beg the difference with you my friend. Pigs are pretty smart and intelligent as well. Believe it or not but we are some of the smartest anipals in the world. We don’t give away our secrets. You may feel the need to hang from the doorway in your ‘hiding’ spot. Keep up your ninja skills because after the pooch see’s this Dear Bacon issue, he will know exactly where you are hiding these days. :).
.
Dear Bacon – The humans gave us this great idea. You see when they go to the doctor – even if it’s for a sore throat – and the doctor tells them to disrobe, they do it without thinking about it because a DOCTOR said to. So me and my bro thought we can do that too. We are going to set up shop in the hood and when the ladies come, we are going to do the same thing. Sweet huh? Signed Doctors Doogy and Albert
Dear “Doctors Doogy and Albert” – Oh my piggy heavens! Really? One word my friends. Just word is only needed. PERVERTS. P.S. Stay away from my friends.
.
Dear Bacon – Help! The humans brought this Sir Barks A Lot miniature thing they call a dog into my home. I have been stuck on this couch forever. It won’t shut up. It’s telling ME the rules of MY house. What the cream cheese? Make it stop dude. Please. Signed Helpless on Vinyl
Dear Helpless on Vinyl – Not you too my friend? My humans brought home one as well who likes to demand things. Rolls piggy eyes. The safest way to proceed, ignore him. Hopefully he will go away. And please come down off of the couch. Look at yourself. Cowering down over a pooch of what six pounds. Oh my goodness – you do live with me! My grief of torture is also six pounds. We must unite. Call me okay. Maybe we can airmail them somewhere. Snorts.
.
.Dear Bacon – I don’t get why some dogs don’t like baths. I ❤ baths. When the humans leave for an evening out, the first thing I do is get the water running and add some bubbles. Then I turn down the lights and jump in. I know I have at least 2-3 hours before the humans return. I highly recommend it. What do you think? Signed Splish Splash
Dear Splish Splash – Well I must admit that you look really happy in your fun palace of bubbles. If that’s what you are into, then I say enjoy buddy. Everyone needs some way to let go of a little stress. What are you hurting? .

REMEMBER FRIENDS – We can’t have Dear Bacon issues without YOU. Keep your pictures and questions coming to me via email 🙂
That’s right. I said it out loud. Humans are weird. Mine have *got* to be at the top of the list. Rolls piggy eyes. I think this sign, “Beware All Ye Who Enter” should be on our front door. It was a strange Sunday yesterday. Mom and dad got up and piddled around the Hotel Thompson. Then mom sat on her sofa and looked at dad across from her sitting on his sofa playing what of course – Angry Birds. That’s when it started. I wanted to know what was going on so I jumped on the sofa with mom. It kind of went like this:
MOM: “Whatcha doing?”
DAD: “Nothing much.”
Oh poor daddy of mine – when will you ever learn NOT to say those words to mom – snorts
MOM: “Good, we need to clean the bathroom today”.
DAD: “I’m busy.”
MOM: “No you’re not. You just said you were doing nothing.”
Mom wins every battle this way – snorts. Daddy mumbled something about when he found this “WE” fellow he was going to beat him up bad. But he was a good man, he got up and followed mom down the hall. You’re probably saying, “What’s the big deal? It’s just cleaning the bathroom”. That’s where you would be wrong – snorts. Mom was wanting to CLEAN the entire bathroom – as in walls, tub, sink, floor, cabinets, changing shower curtain – the entire works. And of course with mom’s arthritis, she can’t get in and grove like she once did. That’s where daddy comes in – she needed his quote “Brute strength”.
They went in and shut the door. They wouldn’t let any of us anipals inside with them. We heard a lot of giggles. A lot of laughter. Something about WE was going to have to die from daddy. Things got thrown in the hallway. The laundry basket, trash, clothes – what *WERE* they doing in there? They were in the bathroom for over an hour!
Then the door opened – WOW – you could hear the angels singing it was that sparkly. I was in piggy awe. And then mom did the thing she said she “deserved” after all of that – she took the smelliest bubble bath I’ve ever seen.
As a follow up to my morning post, I wanted to share with you a favorite bath time video that mom took of me once upon a time. You see, I like bath time for the most part. I like stomping my hooves and blowing bubbles in the water. It’s just fun pure and simple. And hey, I gotta make sure that mom gets a bath too so if she’s not soaked, my bath time is not done 🙂 And as you can tell from watching the video, when I’m done – I’m done. I hope you enjoy the video my friends.
These days, I’m closing my eyes tight and dreaming of sand, sun and palm trees. It’s just too cold outside right now for me to handle it. bbrrr – shivers. I saw this funny that I got a while back and it actually made me smile. This could be me. I love bath nights. Well, I like playing in the water. You see blowing bubbles and stomping my hooves in the water are two of my favorite things. A – it’s entertaining for this little oinker and B – I get mom soaked when I do it – snorts. It’s kind of a win-win situation for the both of us. She just doesn’t seem to look at it that way at times.
Wishing everyone a happy Friday and a great weekend my friends!!
Don’t ask. It was a dare. Those stupid cats think they know everything. They dared me to do this. I did. They took pictures and now it’s all over the You Tube thingy. And, I can’t get down. Help. Signed Limbo
Dear Limbo,
That is quite the predicament you have there my friend. I guess you could say your in between a rail and a staircase – snorts. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t snort. Perhaps take the challenge and just jump down. Once you are down, find those purr things. Revenge is sweet. Wishing you the best.

Dear Bacon, I got the coolest gift for Christmas. I’ve been wearing these and freaking people out in the home and while walking. Aren’t they just awesome? Signed Bug Eyes
Dear Bug Eyes,
Snorts – I absolutely *love* them my friend. They are so cool. I can just see the people you pass as you are on your constitutional walk with your humans. So much fun!!
.
Dear Bacon,
The humans. They are the strangest people. The little knee high human was blowing what they call bubbles at me. These things were fascinating. I couldn’t get enough. They floated in the air but when I touched them, they went away. Have you ever seen this witchery? Signed Impressed
Dear Impressed,
I have never seen them in all of my life. Your little knee high human must have special powers. I would be hesitant around them and walk the line. What if they trapped you in one of those bubbles? hhmm – this is just most strange to me. I must research this more with my human daddy. Be careful my friend.
.
Dear Bacon,
Today, I will be on the computer most of the day – just like those humans. But, I don’t get it. This computer is doing nothing. Signed Confused
Dear Confused,
Okay, let me explain this to you my purr friend. You don’t *sit* on the computer to be ‘on’ the computer. You sit in front of the computer and type on the keyboard to surf the net. Understand now? Try it. You’ll be surprised of the world out there at your claws.
.
Dear Bacon,
I am SO with you on your Christmas tree escapade last year. I understand completely. The tree got tired. I’m saying the same thing. I walked by it and it fell. It had nothing to do with me looking at the pretty shiny ornaments. Shaking head – nothing at all. Signed Busted
Dear Busted,
Oh dear kitty. You see with at least my ordeal, I didn’t stay in the room for a picture. You my friend got exactly what it is – busted. The proof is in the picture. Next time, flee fast on those little legs and act like you are asleep. Not that I know from experience, but that might help your cause next time.
