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.

 

 

 

 

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon –  When they humans are away, the Kung Fu Fighting comes out to play.  This kitty was “Kung Fu Fighting” – go ahead you can sing and dance with me.  I won’t tell anyone.  “Those kicks were fast as lighting.  In fact, it was a little bit frightening – But they fought with expert timing.”  Signed Funky Chinatown

Dear Funky Chinatown – Awesome!  What a way to start a Dear Bacon issue.  Love that song.  It’s one of mine and dad’s favorites.  Heck, you should see dad put on his headband and go to town – he’s got the moves like Jagger!  But don’t worry, you’re moves are tops!

---

Dear Bacon –  I may look like a super dog but really I’m not.  I’m waiting at the driveway for my super hero to get home from school.  When he gets off the bus, I give him the cape.  In my eyes, he will *always* be my super hero regardless of how old.  Do you have a super hero Bacon?  Signed Side Kick

Dear Side Kick – Let me tell you something my friend, you are not only the bestest Side Kick ever – you are my hero. ❤

---

Dear Bacon –  Make it stop.  Why.  Why do we have to be punished like this and given these drownings?  Why can’t I just stay dirty?  Signed Soaking Wet

Dear Soaking Wet –  Aaaww – little guy.  I’m sorry you feel this way.  Let me explain something to you.  Your humans love you.  They really do and it doesn’t seem like it but me trust on this okay.  If they didn’t love you, they would’t bathe you and take care of you.  You know – you wouldn’t have your forever home.  And here at the Hotel Thompson, if your clean guess what.  You get to snuggle in the big bed.  Is that the rule there too?  If so, go ahead and get it over with so you can get some bonding time.  Baths don’t take forever.  Close those puppy dog eyes and roll in some water my friend!

---

Dear Bacon – My human.  All mine.  I don’t share.  This is my human’s hand.  I will hold it and hug it and call it mine.  All mine.  Signed George

Dear George –  I say go for it my furry friend.  I would gladly give you my hoof as well – you look way too cuddly!  That’s one lucky human for sure!

---

Dear Bacon –  The shock!  It was amazing!  We couldn’t believe it!  It was like a train wreck and we couldn’t move away from the window.  What we saw Old Man McDonald doing to Mrs. McDonald – WOW!  He is one lucky man.  Oh, you’re asking what?  Come closer and we will whisper it to you.  He was doing the dishes for her!  I know!  Shocking huh?  A man in the kitchen doing the dishes.  We all almost passed out too!  Signed the Farm Hands

Dear Farm Hands –  What the pig!?  I’m so showing this to daddy.  WOW!  Yes you are right.  That Mrs. McDonald is one lucky lady for sure!!  Let me know if you see anything else.

It’s the Middle of the Year

It’s the middle of the year – hasn’t 2014 just flown by so fast?

It’s time to check those New Years resolutions and see how far you’ve gotten on them and how far you have to go.  I personally like to do this double check around this time of the year.  So let’s see what I have/have not accomplished so far.

My 2014 New Years Resolutions:

• Take more naps – check.  It’s hard maintaining this beauty – it requires many, MANY naps a day.  I try to get as many in as possible during the day so I can play with mom to keep her active when she gets home from the worky place.  
• Continue to eat healthy – check.  So far so good with eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.  The only problems I have this nowadays is keeping daddy out of my piggy stash – snorts.
• Maintain this sexy physique – check. Someone has to be the piggy sexy star at the Hotel Thompson!   Daddy is trying but his pot belly is not as adorable as mine – double snorts…. don’t tell him I saw that okay.
• Become a Super Pig Hero – Still working on this one.  I do have Piggy Power when I need/want to run around and get into trouble save the world. 
• Keep mom wrapped around my hooves – check check – this is a full time job! snorts

What about your New Years resolutions.  How far have you come on your list?  Mom/dad are still working on theirs as well.  Some things they have crossed off while others are still sitting there waiting for them.

 AND with this being the middle of the year, do you know what that means??

.

It’s only 176 days until Christmas!!

Happy mid year Christmas!!

 

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!

 

I Knew It!

Mom is Wonder Woman!

 

Remember last week when I happen to stumble into her room and found some interesting articles that led me to believe she was a super hero?  Well, the proof is in the picture!

 

I was helping daddy do the laundry yesterday and I found mom’s costume.  She is Wonder Woman!  It’s just pure and simple.

 

Last week I found her lasso of truth, her cuffs and red high heeled boots.  Now her costume.  I wonder why I’ve never seen her around the house wearing this?  She must be a closet superhero – you think?

 

Now I know why I’ve always wanted to be a superhero Pig – it’s in the family.  I’m going to have to hoove up and demand my cape – I want to carry on the family history.

What other secrets can she be hiding from this little oinker?!

 

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon,
Hello my friend.  I see you have a squirrel for a friend – thank you for liking our kind.  And, I know you secretly want to be a super pig hero and wear a cape.  Anytime you want, you can be my sidekick!  Signed Super Squirrel

Dear Super Squirrel,

You are so on!  I love the thoughts of being your sidekick.  I’ve been trying to convince mom for a while now that I need a cape.  You think you can help me a little and talk to her?

 

Dear Bacon,
I don’t think my friends have any clue whatsoever that I’m not really ‘one’ of them if you know what I mean.  I love this spy stuff – what about you?  Signed RacCat Bandit

Dear RacCat Bandit,

OMP (Oh my pig!)  That is so funny.  I fell off of the couch I was laughing so hard at that picture.  You are a little spy, aren’t you?  I can only imagine some of the information you have obtained with that disguise.  Maybe I need to get a mask for Halloween this year.  It would be a hoot!

 

Dear Bacon,
It’s really not as hard as it looks.  I’ve been hanging out with some ladies all week and it’s been great fun!  My next step is to see if one of them will marry me.  Do you think I have a shot?  Signed RooFlam

Dear RooFlam,

Well, first of all I think you look great and you have some amazing talent for walking on sticks. I myself could never do that.  I just don’t have the balance.  Second off, you might want to rethink your mission.  It’s bound to come out eventually that you are not what you seem.

 

Dear Bacon,
Sometimes I think a picture says a thousand words.  I think this is one of those occasions.  What do you think?  Signed Pom the Comedian

Dear Pom the Comedian,

Your picture is so wrong on so many different levels but I have to admit that I laughed… hard!  And, daddy laughed… hard!  Your poor brother – I’m not so sure he thought it was so funny.  All I gotta say, it was a good one but watch out.  I’m sure I’ll be getting a picture and email from your brother in the very near future!

 

Dear Bacon,
It’s not really fair.  I love chasing skunks.  I don’t hurt them.  I just like to play.  See what happens when you just want to play?  You get labeled for life.  I’m sure this picture is going to end up all in the family.  What’s a dog to do?  Signed I’ve Been Skunked

Dear I’ve Been Skunked,

Snorts – you poor, poor pooch.  Your humans are really funny.  I understand you wanting to play but there’s some things out there in the animal kingdom that we just leave alone.  Skunks would be one of them.  I understand your sign – almost.  What’s a douche bag?

 

 

Dear Bacon,

It would be fun they said.  Come on out and play in nature – get some exercise.  Yeah, right.  They got me good.  I think you have the right idea. I’m going anti-nature!  Signed Tree High Five

Dear Tree High Five,

WOW – chasing that frisbee you just didn’t see that tree, huh?  I’m not laughing at you.  I’m laughing with you.  One day you will look back at this picture and chuckle.  Maybe not today.  Maybe not tomorrow.  But one day you will.  Sorry for your pain.  Don’t throw nature away yet.  Hang in there my friend and keep chasing those frisbee’s…. just watch out for trees… and mailboxes… and telephone polls… and fire hyrdrants… snorts

 

FRIENDS – Remember to send your pictures and questions to Dear Bacon at Baconthompson@gmail.com

 

I’m Shocked – Unbelievable –

 

I was wondering through the house unchaperoned – I love these times!  Daddy was in the laundry room and forgot about me – insert evil piggy chuckle.

I stumbled into mom’s room and found the stuff in the picture below.  Did you know my mommy was a superhero?!  I had no idea.  No wonder she hasn’t made me my own cape – she’s saving it for herself!

Happy weekend my friends!

 

 

 

It’s the Middle of the Year

It’s the middle of the year – hasn’t 2013 just flown by so fast?

It’s time to check those New Years resolutions and see how far you’ve gotten on them and how far you have to go.  I personally like to do this double check around this time of the year.  So let’s see what I have/have not accomplished so far.

My 2013 New Years Resolutions:

• Take more naps – check.  As you can see with Hemi hi-jacking my computer this weekend, this is working.
• Continue to eat healthy – check.  It’s hard but it’s a work in progress
• Maintain this sexy physique – check. Someone has to be the piggy sexy star at the Hotel Thompson! 
• Become a Super Pig Hero – still working on this one.  I need a magic CAPE bad… in red… with Power Pig written on the back. 
• Overcome my anti-nature stance – still working on this one.  I’m in therapy and almost to the end of it so hopefully I can mark this off soon.
• Keep mom wrapped around my hooves – check check – this is a full time job! snorts

What about your New Years resolutions.  How far have you come on your list?  Mom/dad are still working on theirs as well.  Some things they have crossed off while others are still sitting there waiting for them. 

 

AND with this being the middle of the year, do you know whart that means??

 

It’s only 176 days until

Christmas!!

 

Happy mid year Christmas!!
