This morning after my breakfast of piggy chow and Cheerios I was reading the newspaper… You know catching up on the current events. While reading the paper, I had a cup of coffee that looked kind of like this. That started me thinking. Wouldn’t you love to go to your neighborhood coffee shop and order a cup of joe like this? Wouldn’t it make you smile? You would think of me, wouldn’t you? It takes a very talented barista to pull this off and make coffee look this good. Maybe Starbucks needs to add it to their menu. Mom would definitely order it.
Having this cup of coffee made me think of the different changes in the world. What if… Let me stop laughing… What if the roles were reversed and mommy stayed at home and I went to her worky place? I think being a pig I could fit right into the mix. It might work. Let’s really think about it shall we.
Mommys computer has dual monitors. I’m not sure what that actually means but it sounds exciting. Mom says she types a lot all day long and plays with numbers. Now I can’t type the 100 plus words a minute that she does cause you know she has 10 fingers and I only have 2 hooves but I can try. And playing with numbers, well I’m not so good at that but it should be interesting in payroll and monthly STATs that she does. Ok well maybe going to work wouldn’t be a good idea.
Then I started thinking about the animal store called Petco. Have you been there? They have a cat and dog buffet bar that the humans can fix for them. Petco, I have a complaint with that. Why can’t you make a piggy buffet bar? Just saying.
So last night, there I was in my bedroom. I was all cuddled up in my piggy bed with the lights out pounding away on my laptop working on some stories for my 31 Days of Spook. It was late. Everyone here at the Hotel Thompson was passed out – I knew because I could hear them snoring. Even that little Houdini brother of mine was sawing the logs. I kept having problems with my internet connection. For some reason, the internet kept dropping off from my laptop. Mom has shown me in the past how to reconnect it and refresh it. Nothing worked though on this night.
Finally I knew it was time to pull the sheets up over my head when I got this message. UUMM – I’m good. I think I’ll go to sleep now. Have you ever gotten this connection before on your computer? Shivers and squeals!
Barks with puppy laughter. I bet that picture took you off guard.
Not that I’m eating from a bowl in dad’s hands – nope. Not that what I’m eating looks like popcorn – nope. I mean heck there’s even my little dog in that picture – nope. I bet that picture took you off guard because… wait for it… I’m naked!
That’s right – no clothes – what the cream cheese! Mom was taking naked pictures of me. Can you believe that? I will be ruined. This picture will now be all over the internet. My silver is showing. What is that woman trying to do to my reputation.
Until I can get this straightened up, please forgive me my friends. I need to find a way now to erase this from computer land and the internet. I gotta a lot of work to do. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. I leave you now with Jokes with Daddy. Enjoy!

Bacon here from Summer Camp. This will be my final letter from camp. WOW – it’s been a long week in a lot of different ways and on the other hoof a very short week. I really didn’t want to come but I have to admit that it’s been kind of fun. I’ve met a lot of great friends – Scott and Piper. You are probably wondering who the heck is Piper. Piggy blushes… she was the strawberry that I had dinner with the other night. She’s sweet and cute and all girly and from the south. She gave me her phone number and address so we can stay in touch ❤ . Oh, and so did Scott.
Last night was talent night here at camp. All of us had to come up with some kind of talent for the show. Heck, I had to think hard. I mean what talent do I have besides pounding a keyboard.. which I’m pretty good with cause the last time I checked I was up at 25hpm (hooves per minute). So I thought about biting into an apple and laying on the floor but I’m not sure how many of the gang would get that one. Then it hit me. I would dance and sing a song of my people so I did.
“I’m a little teapot short and stout. Here is my handle and here is my … handle. Damn I’m a sugar bowl.”
It got a great snort and got me off of the stage quickly.
So today mom/dad are coming to pick me up. I can’t wait. I’m so ready to jump in the back of the Smart car and get home to my kingdom… my castle… my own bed… my air conditioning. aaww – I miss that life. I hope you’ve been entertained this week and that my little brother Houdini has done a good job on my blog. I instructed him before I left to take care of everyone.
Bacon here from Summer Camp. I gotta admit mom that I thought this Summer Camp thing was a joke. I really, REALLY didn’t want to come. But I have to admit that it’s been kind of cool this week. We went and camped out last night ‘under the stars’. I gotta admit that laying around the bonfire and watching the sky through the tips of the trees was kind of cool. It’s amazing how many shooting stars you can see. That in itself was almost worth the trip.
I also put my Ninja skills into action last night and found the culprit who ate all of my Animal Crackers. It was a boy named Scout. Yep, nods piggy head, his name is Scout. He has stolen a lot of our food here this week at camp. After everyone went to sleep last night in their tents, someone – looks around innocently – went to his tent and made grunting noises, stomped around a lot and cast huge shadows on the side of his tent. For a boy that is challenged horizontally, he could run pretty fast. What’s even better was seeing him wearing his pajama onesie. Now that was priceless. He kept saying that he heard Pigman and Goatman in the woods. Don’t mess with the Ninja pig.
And mom you would be proud of me. I had dinner with a strawberry (girl) last night. She’s cool.
Bacon here from Summer Camp. There are a bunch of vultures here at camp. No I’m not talking about Alfred Hitchcock and birds of nature. I’m talking about thieves. Someone in the cabin ate all of my Animal Crackers yesterday. They are not admitting to who did it. Don’t mess with the pig. This means war. Good thing I packed my Ninja outfit when you weren’t looking.
Today we had to go running. Snorts – as if this pig runs. Unless there is food in the distance that is calling me, why would this oinker run? So there I was softly walking to our destination. My counselor Wolf creeped up behind me and howled. What an as*$*!) I took off running like it was really the Big Bad Wolf after me. After a while of running, I heard clapping. It took me a few minutes to realize it was just my thighs cheering me on. That Wolf is a true as$*!&
Tonight, we get to sleep outside “under the stars in the fresh air”. Really? Do these people not watch television? I’d rather be behind a locked door. But then again, my Ninja outfit could come in handy tonight to find the culprit that ate my beloved Animal Crackers. Evil snorts.
Bacon here from Summer Camp. Another day down and another day closer to coming back home to the Hotel Thompson. Yesterday for our activity we went swimming in the lake. Things were going good. The cute little ‘strawberries’ (girls) got a thrill – snorts. Scott taped a fin on his back and swam over to their side. I’ve never seen strawberries move that fast out of the water in my entire life. Some of them were faster than the girls in those b-rated movies on SyFy. It was really hilarious. But Wolf caught Scott and he got into trouble. I have to admit mom, I had *nothing* to do with that. Really I didn’t – pig honor.
Last night, we got to watch a movie outside near the camp fire. Now that’s what I’m talking about. It was so much fun! It was Race for Your Life Charlie Brown. I got my first roasted marshmallow. So delicious. Of course, it was so hot it almost burned my lips but I couldn’t just stop at one. And trust me. No one noticed towards the end of the movie when I got the rest of the bag of marshmallows. Nope not at all. You see they were too busy taking care of the fire. Oh don’t worry. It wasn’t that big. A boy in cabin 3 threw some fireworks in the bonfire. One went off into the brush and cause a small fire. It only took two fire extinguishers to get it out. No worries. Talk to you later.
Miniature pot bellied pig and friends - Bacon, Houdini, Hemi and all of the Rock Clan with Journalist Rocky the Squirrel all out looking for adventures from the Hotel Thompson.
