Dear Bacon – There is *always* that one friend. You know the one that ‘dares’ you to do something and says, “What are you afraid”? Why did I have to fall for it. Can you tell me that? And then if that wasn’t bad enough, Ethel has to then photobomb me and take a picture for her Facebook account. Dude, I long for the days before all of this social media. Signed Jack
Dear Jack – WOW. I see that you are in a predicament my friend. I don’t even know Ethel dared you to do but the how the heck did you get out of that funky position? Of course, for payback and before she photobombed you all you had to do was lift that left leg in a strategic position and that would smack that smirk right off of her face – snorts. You know friend, this just screams for payback. And make it GOOD. I mean really GOOD. And then post it on your Facebook account… or perhaps get Christmas cards made. Now that sounds like a plan of destruction. Keep me posted with the results and don’t take any more dares anytime soon okay.

Dear Bacon – HA! This will teach my humans. I ran away from home and they have yet to find me. What do you think? Am I the master of disguises or what? Signed Hide N Seek Master
Dear Hide N Seek Master – You are the boss my friend. I had to take several looks myself to see which ‘rock’ was you. And your parents haven’t found you yet. That’s so awesome. Just remember to come out in time for dinner okay.

Dear Bacon – They said I could do and be anything I wanted. So I decided I wanted to water ski. And let me tell you something – it is fantastic! So invigorating. It makes me feel like I weigh nothing at all. I highly recommend it my friend. Signed Weightless
Dear Weightless – You know you have my interest piqued now my friend. I think I may try this soon… especially since mom/dad are sending me to this awful thing called C.A.M.P. Stay safe.

Dear Bacon – Have you ever just had one of those days that you needed a little something to take the edge off? This was me last weekend. I just couldn’t take chasing the postman anymore… or tying up and blaming the cat for everything. I needed a little liquid refreshment in a place where everyone knew my name and it was a fun place. And hey, this wine is awesome. Have you ever felt like this? Signed Stud at the Bar
Dear Stud at the Bar – Oh yes indeed. There are days that I feel the world is overcoming me… especially this past weekend. We could have met up my friend. Perhaps split a bottle of Francis Ford Coppola wine and whined on each other’s shoulders or downfalls in life in general. I’m sure it would have been a blast. Call me next time okay.

Dear Bacon – I’m not sure my son gets the full effect of my look here. This is my what.do.you.mean.you.want.to.stay.out.all. night.long.partying.look. Does it work for you? Do I need to change something for more of an effect? Any suggestions? Signed Dad in Charge
Dear Dad in Charge – I think you have the look down pact. Did you follow it with, “Not while you are living under my roof?” and “While you are living under my roof, you will obey my rules”? That usually works when my dad uses them on us anipals here at the Hotel Thompson. Maybe take away his allowance. That *always* hurts this little oinker where it counts. Good luck with your son my friend. Just think of these as his teenage rocky years.
Remember my friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your letters and pictures to my email address. 🙂

Dear Bacon – What can I say? I’m a happy camper. I know your dislike for a certain frog but hey can’t we be buds? Not all of us frogs are all green and taking your woman. I understand completely. Does this look like a face of a frog that would take your Miss Piggy? I think not. Signed Can’t We Be Friends
Dear Can’t We Be Friends – Aaaww my new pal. I would love to be your friend. And you are right. I only dislike one certain green frog who thinks he is God’s gift to my woman… Kermit. When he decides to leave my Goddess alone, then we might possibly be friends as well. Kermit if you are listening – call me okay.
.

Dear Bacon – I know how your mom loves the mouse with white gloves, Mickey Mouse. I’m a fan of the other one – Minnie Mouse. My humans know how much I love her so they bought me this head gear to wear so I could be her. What do you think? Am I missing anything? Signed The New Minnie Mouse Dog
Dear The New Minnie Mouse Dog – You look amazing my friend. I absolutely ❤ it! My mom would be so envious in all of your glory. Do you know what would really set off your outfit? White gloves. Oh squeals. That would have all of the Mickey Mouse Club knocking on your door. You rock my new friend! Wear those ears with pride!
.

Dear Bacon – Don’t fear. This is not a scary movie or a remake of Jurassic Park. We are real. We live and roam in the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Wouldn’t it be a hoot to play together? Of course, you might run a smidgen faster than us but we would enjoy the company. If you are ever in these parts, call us okay. Signed Aldi and Gang
Dear Aldi and Gang – WOW! Ya’ll are awesome. I bet we would have a heck of a great time playing together. Do you think I could piggy back on one of ya’ll? Instead of the tortoise and the hare stories, we could make the tortoise and the Bacon stories – snorts and rolls with laughter.

Dear Bacon – Sure, pick on the cow. My so called friends dared me to get up here on this contraption. Said it would be fun and exciting. Yeah, it’s fun and exciting alright. Can you get me off of this thing pig? Signed Betsy
Dear Betsy, Oh dear piggy heavens my friend. You are in a pickle. I’ll call Farmer McDonald to come save you. Just don’t bounce okay. It might be a few minutes.

Dear Bacon – The humans they are fickle. I bought my human a gift. Something I worked hard on getting to repay them for their kindness in giving me my forever home. What do I get in return? A screech so loud that I think they heard it on the other side of the world. I really think I heard glass breaking somewhere in the house. Then the human did something even weirder. They jumped on the table and wouldn’t come off until I took their gift outside. Really? Fickle humans. Signed The Great Hunter
Dear The Great Hunter – Snorts. You see my friend. Humans like their food cooked… and only certain kinds of food. I don’t think mice are on their listed foods they eat. Yet, it was such a wonderful gift to give to them. You are the great hunter, so gifted. Maybe the next time though hunt some cow. I’ve heard they like cow…. a LOT. Carry on and safe hunting.
REMEMBER FRIENDS – We can’t have Dear Bacon issues without YOU. Keep your pictures and questions coming to me via email 🙂

HAPPY WEEKEND my dear friends. Do you have anything planned? What are you doing? I think we have errands to run tomorrow. I’m going to see if I can persuade mom if I can tag along for some of them. It should be a blast. So if you see a little blue Smart car in a drive thru or on the road somewhere, check the back for me. I’ll be the piggy oinking and snorting. I would wave but you know I have short legs – snorts.

But I do want to leave you with something to think about this weekend. I saw this in the kitchen the other day and snagged a picture. Mommy said it was milk. Let me tell you something – I want to see the size of the cow that filled these little cups with milk. OMP (oh my pig!) Do you see the size of this milk bottle? That’s about the right size of it too in the picture. Was it a mini-cow? And how long did it take to fill those cups? Remind me that I don’t want *that* job.
Have an awesome day and weekend!!

Have you been on the edge of your seat waiting for the finish? If you missed the first part of my breakdown, check out my Friday posting. 🙂
Here we go –
So Gordy, Hanky and his family fly to Branson, Missouri to help out Cousin Jake, Luke and Jinni Sue. They are so in awe to see welcome signs all over for Gordy being there in Branson. They go to the country music concert where they meet all kinds of famous country singers – Mickey Gilley, Boxcar Willie, Christy Lane and Roy Clark. There’s even a surprise speech from President Bill Clinton who unveils a new stamp in honor of Gordy.
Hanky talks about how Gordy wants to find his family and they give out a number to call if you have any information. While all of this is taking place, Sipes sends his henchman out to kidnap Gordy and kill him – squeal! But what the henchman didn’t see was that Cousin Jake saw them and follows them. The henchman goes over a bridge and throws Gordy off! Can you believe that?! I was sitting on the edge of the sofa with mommy. But never fear, Cousin Jake got lost and was under the bridge. Guess who he caught? Yep, you’re right – GORDY!
Cousin Jake takes him back to the music hall and the henchman tells Sipes he’s done the deed. When Cousin Jake gets back to the music hall, he tells Hanky, Luke Jinnie Sue and Jessica what happened. A battle ensues between Luke and Sipes and Jessica knocks out Sipes with a briefcase.
Someone calls the music hall and tells them that Gordy’s parents are going to be slaughtered at an unidentified slaughterhouse in Nebraska. Jessica, Hanky, Jinnie Sue and Luke then find out that the slaughterhouse is one that Royce Industries actually owns! They jump in the limousine with Cousin Jake driving and off they go.
Hanky keeps calling the slaughterhouse and finally gets the right number from the Royce Industries attorney. Hanky tells the supervisor to shut down just in time. They arrive at the slaughterhouse and not only do they rescue mom and the siblings but also dad. Gordy is a hero!
In the last shots of the movie, you see everybody back at Meadow Brook Farm. The farm is now sold and I know you want to know who bought it, right? Jessica and Luke! They got married and moved to the farm. Jinnie Sue and Hanky are now brother and sister and all of the pigs are back where they are suppose to be. Life is happy!
Now, wasn’t it worth the wait my friends?

I apologize for the length of this posting. I got really carried away by another piggy movie – WOWSER!

Last night I got to watch a new movie that has been in my Netflix que called Gordy. OMP (oh my pig!) Have you seen this delightful and entertaining movie? It is wonderful! So full of fun, love and adventure. I highly recommend this if you haven’t see it. Pop you some corn, get a soda and get the family together for movie night – you won’t be sorry you did!
Gordy came out in 1995, is around 90 minutes long and takes place in Arkansas. The movie starts at Meadowbrook Farm which is for sale. It shows all kinds of anipals outside at the farm. I have to admit that I was little shocked to see pigs living outside.. in nature?! What? Don’t all pigs live the life I do? And there were cows, horses, goats, roosters and chickens among those pigs. WOW ! And the anipals were talking! It was awesome. We could hear everything they were saying. Just like when I talk here on my page and at the Hotel Thompson.
It gets a little sad at this point because there are humans at the farm to take the daddy piggy away to “up north”. The rooster goes and tells Gordy, one of the piglets, that they are taking his dad. Gordy runs back to the farm as the truck is pulling off. I have to admit that Gordy runs fast and stays with the truck just enough for his daddy to tell him that he’s head of the family now. Gordy promises to take care of his mom and siblings and the truck goes off. I admit it. Me and mommy cried at this part of the movie right there with Gordy. It was so very sad to see them taking daddy away.
Gordy goes back to the farm crying and he can’t find his mom or family. Gordy asks Dorothy the cow if she has seen
his family and she says no. Gordy asks Wendy the chicken if she has seen his family and she says no but tells him to ask Richard. Gordy goes and asks Richard the rooster if he has seen his family. Richard tells Gordy that while he was chasing the truck that took his dad “up north”, another truck came and took his mom and siblings. What? Can this movie get any sadder from the start?
Gordy decides to go off to find his family. He walks a long way from the farm and it gets dark. He comes upon a church and crawls into a basket outside to sleep. Aaww. Unbeknownst to Gordy, the basket was for the less fortunate and a guy comes by, picks up the items and places them in his truck. It starts to rain and Gordy is asleep in the basket in the back of the truck.
In the next part of the movie, we are at Miss Kittys’ Saloon and Dance Hall where we see Gordy’s mom and his siblings. They are cold and hungry and are asking where is Gordy and their dad. A cute little girl, Jinni Sue, comes out and feeds them it looks like some lettuce. While she is feeding them, Jinni Sue’s dad comes out and says it’s time. Jenni and her dad then go inside the dance hall and sing. It was like heaven – that Jenni Sue has some voice on her. It was beautiful!
After she gets done singing, she goes back outside and the truck with Gordy’s mom and siblings are gone But there is truck in the parking lot that has Gordy. She takes Gordy and tells him that she is going to take care of him and she is now going to call him Pinky. (Snorts – she didn’t know his name yet). She sneaks him into her trailer and hides him from her dad. She puts pajamas on him and they say their prayers before going to sleep. When Jinni Sue’s dad comes in to say goodnight, the lights are out and Pinky – AKA Gordy – kisses dad. It’s hilarious! It certainly reminds me of something that I might do.
Jinnie Sue’s dad eventually finds out about Pinky and they adopt him. They then head to Fayetteville, Arkansas to sing at Huntington Estate. I think this is the home of the local mayor. While Jinnie Sue is not singing, she has Pinky on a leash and meets a little boy named Hanky. Hanky is there at the party with his mom and grandfather, who is head of Royce Industries in St. Louis. Grandpa Royce tells Hanky to ask his mom to dance but before he can, his mom’s fiance beats him to it. Hanky gets upset and walks away from the party going to the estate pool.
Jinnie Sue sees Hanky walk away and follows him with Pinky. Hanky is sitting on the diving board of the pool and they
talk for a bit about how lonely Hanky is. When Hanky gets up to return back to the party, he falls into the pool. He can’t swim and neither can Jinni Sue! Jinni Sue runs off to get help and while she is gone, Pinky pushes a float into the pool and jumps in to safe Hanky. As Pinky is pushing Hanky to the side of the pool, everyone from the party comes to the pool and sees the amazing piglet saving Hanky. Cameras start flashing and this makes the news.
Afterwards, Jinnie Sue, Luke (Jinnie’s dad) and Pinky go to visit Hanky and his family. Jinnie Sue wants to give Pinky to Hanky as a pet since he gets lonely. The family accepts. The next day, Hanky, his mother (Jessica), Jessica’s fiance (Gilbert Sipes), Grandpa Royce and Pinky board a plane heading home to St. Louis. Once they are at the Royce International headquarters, they learn that a Hero Pig Fan Club has went nation wide on hero Pinky. Hanky shows Pinky around the office. That’s when Hanky learns that the pure of heart can understand animals. See, that’s why all of you my friends understand me – you are pure of heart! From that point on, Pinky tells Hanky that his name is Gordy and they understand each other completely.
Grandpa Royce is wanted a new image for the company. Gilbert Sipes is the PR person for the business – remember he is also Grandpa Royce’s daughters fiancee. Sipes wants Jessica to be the new image of the company. Grandpa Royce thinks that it should be Gordy – who is a hero. Grandpa Royce advises to take pictures, do a market campaign and let the consumers decide who should be the new image of Royce Industries.
The day comes for the filming and Gordy is under the clothes rack. He overhears Sipes telling the photographer to change the lense in the camera when he shoots Gordy. Gordy doesn’t understand this but tells Hanky. Well, Hanky switches the lenses back. The filming of Gordy then starts and you can see Gordy sporting rainwear, piglopedia, scubawear, piggy cola, hero pig – it’s so darling! Mommy – just don’t get any ideas okay.
Then then set up for the session with Jessica and they change lenses. Jessica then goes through all of the same poses. When it’s all over with, Sipes says that he doesn’t need to look at the film and to go ahead and send it out rush to market ASAP. He just *knows* that Jessica is going to win.
During this time, Jessica gets a postcard from Luke and Jinni Sue. Let’s just say she is smitten. She has that look in her eyes that mommy and daddy get when they look at each other. The next day, there’s a huge meeting at Royce Industries to announce who the winner is of the image campaign. They announce it was 100 to 1 on the results and that Gordy WINS. Sikes can’t believe it because you know – he did the lense switch. Then they show the film from Jessica and they see that she had the lense switch and all of her pictures look out of whack and fat. Sikes is livid. Gordy is signed to a lifetime contract and he is the new trademark for Royce Industries. Grandpa Royce then says that he will supervise Gordy’s publicity personally.
Gordy goes on to make the cover of Farm Journal and News Week. He even makes the talk shows and has a song about him that goes platinum!
But during all of this, Gordy has been talking to Hanky about his promise to his father. He has to find his mother and siblings who were taken ‘up north’. They make a plan to go to the park the next day and they are going to find mom and the siblings themselves. What they don’t know is that Sikes is putting together a plan to kidnap Gordy. Sikes wants Gordy out of the picture so that Jessica can take his place. This way, when they are married Sikes will be rich.
At the park, Gordy and Hanky are able to get on a school bus that is heading towards Kansas City, Kansas. Sikes incompetent henchmen, Dietz and Krugman, are following the bus in their limousine. What they don’t see is Gordy and Hanky escaping out of a window into a feed truck. Sikes calls the henchmen to find their status and they advise they have both Hanky and Gordy.
Hanky and Gordy get dropped off at a farm and they talk to a hog there. The hog tells them that there was a beautiful Yorkshire mom with babies that was at the Tri States Stockyard that got auctioned. They are now in transit ‘up north’. So there we see Hanky and Gordy off again walking down the side of a road. Who do you think passes the two? That’s right – Jinni Sue and Luke in their bus. They stop and pick them up. Can you believe the driver, Cousin Jake, understands Gordy as well? Then on the radio we hear that Henry Royce head of Royce Industries is sick in the hospital from having a heart attack at the age of 73. Oh no! Everyone is saddened by the news. Luke tells Hanky he has take him home.
They get Hanky back at Royce Industries just in time for the reading of Grandpa Royce’s will. That’s where we find that Jessica is not left the company – you see Sikes fuming. The holdings of the company is left to grandson Hanky when he comes of age. In the time being, the company goes to Gordy! Can you imagine that PIGLET CEO!
Gordy starts telling Hanky that they need to make changes in the items they produce. For instance, change from chemicals and go more from artificial to natural items. This takes off and Gordy is called a Wall Street Wonder! But still, he always has in the back of his mind that he need to go ‘up north’ to save his mom and siblings.
They get a call from Cousin Jake advising they are in Branson, Missouri. They can’t find anywhere to play because they are nobodies. They need someone famous to get them a job. They want to know if Gordy will come to Branson to vouch for them and in exchange they will make an appeal to find his family. Deal!
And this is where I’m going to end my friends.
Does mom get saved? Does dad get saved? Does the siblings get saved? What happens??
Tune back Monday for the finish!

Dear Bacon,
We read your weekly Dear Bacon issue every Tuesday at Old McDonald’s Farm. There has been a lot of questions about one being able to touch their nose with their tongue. I don’t get the fascination with this. All of us cows can do it. I had Myrtle take my picture of me doing just for the proof. What do you think little pig? Signed Bertha P.S. Old McDonald said you are welcomed anytime here at the farm. It would be a hoot if you came for a visit!
Dear Bertha and friends at Old McDonald’s Farm,
Wow! The proof is in the picture. I too don’t know what the fascination is. I can touch my snout with my tongue. Thanks to all of your friends at the farm for the invite. Next time I’m that way, I’ll drop in for a visit. Maybe I’ll bring the rocks with me so they can have a field trip. It would be a blast my friends!
.

Dear Bacon,
This is my scary look. We’ve all taken turns reading your 31 Days of Spook here in Kentucky at the stables. Pig – you are some scary wrapped with HORROR. Where have you been hearing all of these frightening tales? Have been talking to Stephen King himself? Signed Hoarse from Screaming
Dear Hoarse from Screaming,
Thank you very much my friend. I take that as the compliment it was intended. I watch a LOT of television and I read a LOT of scary books. And, it helps that mommy likes a little of the macabre as well. You just have to remember – ghosts are our friends. They just have a lot of unfinished business to say the least.
And yes. Stephen King is a big inspiration to this little oinker. You know they say he dreams about a lot of the work he creates. Can you imagine living in his home? WOW! Now that would be scary.
.

Dear Bacon,
I am blaming this ALL on you. If you didn’t write about such scary horror postings, I wouldn’t have gotten scared and climbed into the pillow and then the pillow wouldn’t have gotten scared and threw up. It’s all your fault. Signed Shaking Pooch
Dear Shaking Pooch,
I see my friend. It’s all my fault. Shaking head sideways. I did everything. Uh huh. Blame it on the pig that can type. Snorts. But I do give you kudo’s for coming up with such an original story to get out of trouble my friend.
.
Dear Bacon,
They see me rollin’ – they hatin’. What can I say? I like to make things happen like you. It beats running through the hood. I just jump my board and presto magic – I’m there with a little push from my human. Why don’t you try it? I think you would like it. It’s groovy. Signed Poochy Hawk
Dear Poochy Hawk,
I like it! Anything where I don’t have to lose a few pounds by exercising, I’m all for it my friend. I’m off now to talk to daddy about it. I pick daddy because I think *he* will go for it. Be safe and have fun. I’ll see you on the streets!
.

Dear Bacon,
It only takes that one word to get us all to the attention we are here in this picture. Nope it’s not the Dear Bacon issue – sorry little man. Nope it’s not the cat doing a pole dance – sorry Mouse Girl. It’s that wonderful glorious four lettered word that *ALL* of us drop everything we are doing and run to the kitchen. FOOD. We can’t help ourselves. Tell me we are not the only ones. You do the same thing too, right? Signed Cinco Foodies
Dear Cinco Foodies,
Puts head down. You are not alone my friends. It happens to the best of us. I am guilty in the first degree as well. What can we say? Food delivers us from all evil happenings. While we are eating, we can’t be up to no good? Keep up the fine work my friends.
.
Remember anipals – if you have questions and pictures, continue to send them to me at Baconthompson@gmail.com Thanks and have a great one!

I admit that I’m intrigued with Mickey Mouse. The little magical rodent that wears the white gloves seems to make mommy smile and therefore that makes me happy. I do admit that she goes over board at times. I’m not saying all of the time – but there have been a few times that I’ve had to second guess her decisions. You’re probably asking yourself what I mean by that statement. Let me show you a few examples to clarify what I mean.
A good example –
Mommy bought stock in the Walt Disney Company. This was definitely a great example of something good. She bought in cheap and it has been religiously going up every since. She even gets a dividend check every December. The check is not much by any means but at least she’s getting a check and not paying anything out, right?
She has her stock certificate all nicely bounded and framed. It’s hanging in her office behind her desk. A lot of people inquire about it and make comments. No one is shocked because well it’s Disney.
.

In the frame on the bottom, is a small plaque that daddy had made special. Can you read it in the picture to the right here? Sweet huh?
Mom also has a big thing on the Seven Dwarfs. A little tidbit for you – mom has all Seven Dwarfs here at the Hotel Thompson. They are about 3.5 feet tall each.
That is definitely a story for another time. That’s my mommy – Disney crazy. Of course, daddy just says she is keeping her stock going up in value.
Another good decision –

Mommy went to the store one time and found Mickey Mouse shaped cheese. Now this is awesome and I agree with it wholeheartedly. It’s fun to eat. I prefer to eat the ears first and work my way down. I know – it’s sick but I like it. One time, she also found Mickey Mouse shaped hamburger patties. I bet that was hard for the cows to make huh? But they were fun too, especially with the little wedges of cheese. And when she fixed hamburgers with the beef and cheese, she cut her bread with the Mickey Mouse bread cutter. That was a fun night for dinner.
Now, a bad decision –

If you’ve read my blog in the past, you might have heard me mention that mommy has a tattoo. First of all, you have to know mommy. She is as straight-laced as they come. When people find out she has a tat, they are amazed. Heck, I know I was when I first saw it. WOW mom – you went all out there huh?
I agree it’s different and does show her love towards the mouse. Every tattoo has some meaning and hers does as well. And it’s some place where the normal person would not see it unless mommy wanted them too.
So there you go, good decisions vs bad decisions. I’m not saying mommy’s tattoo is a bad decision. It was strictly up to her and I do somewhat find it fascinating. I think it’s the brilliant colors. Even though she has had it for years, the color is still so bright. I was able to snap this picture the other day when she came out of the shower. It is totally mom. And with knowing mommy has a tattoo, snorts – there’s not much she can say when I come home with my very own tat. 🙂
Hope you had fun with my posting. Have you ever made good decisions vs bad decisions?
XOXO – Bacon

I don’t know why I find this picture so funny! I really want it for my bedroom. Mom can put it on my wall – I just laugh everytime I see it.
Can you just picture farm animals actually doing this in front of their farmer? I know I would!
