Deep Thoughts Monday

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.

 

 

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon – I’m a Himalayan Marmot.  I like to hang out at high elevations.  It helps me to destress and meditate.  I find a happy spot on some rocks, look over my kingdom and focus on being a better marmot.  What makes you feel good little man?  Signed Deep Thoughts

Dear Deep Thoughts – You already have me in deep thoughts with that picture my friend.  I myself don’t like the higher elevations or looking over anything with that height.  I think I would panic.  I do however try to meditate in my room after my dinner.  I focus on happy things over my kingdom at the Hotel Thompson.

Dear Bacon – There is nothing like laying around after a good meal.  I like to put on my little sweater to keep me warm.  Do you wear clothes?  Signed Petite Sweets

Dear Petite Sweets – That is a real look there my friend.  You do look like your ‘full’.  And, I do like the sweater.  I’m not much of a sweater person myself.  I do wear t-shirts though.  Mom has a couple of pictures.  I’ll have to find them and post them later.

Dear Bacon – You know that happy feeling you get when the human loves on you, you’re tired from playing and things are right in life?  I have here.  Can you tell?  Signed Happy Pooch

Dear Happy Pooch – I would have never guessed you were happy in that picture my friend – snort.  I think it’s the grin that gives it away.  It looks like you ate the mailman or something and got away with it.  Stay happy my fellow four legged friend.

---

Dear Bacon – Be honest with me my friend.  Are my ears big?  I kind of have a complex with them.  They worry me.  The humans don’t say anything but they look at me with that pitiful look in their eyes like something is wrong.  What do you think, be honest.  Signed Tiny

Dear Tiny – I’m a firm believer in loving what God gave you.  God gave me a pot belly.  It’s there.  I can’t help it.  The only thing I can do is love what I got.  When you are happy with yourself – you will be happy pooch.  It shouldn’t matter what others think.  Make the best of what God gave you and go with it.  I know I am!  Hogs and kisses my little buddy.

 

 

Deep Thought Thursday

Here you go my friends.  Deep Thought Thursday.  Which pill would you take?

The red pill gives you the ability to be fluent in every spoken language possible.

The blue pill gives you the ability to master every musical instrument in the world.

What choice would you make and why?  This really is a hard choice.  To be able to talk to everyone in the world in their language or play all musical instruments which in itself is a form of communication?

I’ve pondered this for a couple of days.  My choice – I believe it would be the blue pill – to be able to play every musical instrument.  Can you imagine the music you could make?  The people you could touch – the intensity of the feel of music through your body?  The hours of entertainment – the variety of the instruments you could play?

You?

 

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon,

Of the entire house, my favorite spot to sit while the humans are at work is in the kitchen sink.  I know it seems weird but it’s perfect to overlook my kingdom outside.  Plus if I get thirsty, I can turn on the tap and get a little drink.  What do you think?  Where is your favorite place to overlook your kingdom?  Signed Sink Pooch

Dear Sink Pooch,

Well my friend, I’m not one to judge.  If you like the sink, go for the sink.  If your humans are good with it, go for it.  It does look as if it does give you full access to your viewing pleasure.  I like to sit in the front room in front of the clear storm door.  I can see outside into nature – over my kingdom – and the creature that are out there.  This is good for me because I don’t want nature ‘touching’ me.  I don’t mind the sun that shines in, that’s refreshing. Bugs, small creatures and grass – shivers to this little pig.  

 

Dear Bacon,

This is my favorite toy to play with in the entire playground!  During the day when no one is looking, I will wobble down the play equipment and play on it while the kids are at school.  It’s so much fun!  Signed Panda Toy

Dear Panda Toy,

That does look like so much fun!  I wonder if I get on one to play?  I wonder if this pot belly will allow or my short legs would touch the ground?  Off to draw some pictures to see.  Thanks my friend – have fun rocking!

 

Dear Bacon,

I’ve been reading your blogs for sometime now and wanted to tell you how much I appreciate them.  You give away some really sound advice and seem very caring.  I like that.  Sorry for the bag over my head.  I’m in the doggy witness protection program so I can’t show my face.  I hope you understand.  Carry on my friend.  Signed Underbagcover

Dear Underbagcover,

Thank you so much my friend for the words.  I really do appreciate them.  It makes this little piggy feel good that I really get to touch some lives for the better.  I have to ask though and I know others are going to think the same thing… what does a dog have to ‘see’ or turn over evidence on to get in the doggy witness protection program?  hhhmmm

 

Dear Bacon,

I just had to share what the humans do to me.  I think it border lines cruelty.  They play the piggy game with me… this little piggy went to the market; this little piggy went home; this little piggy went whee whee whee.  It tickles – stop it!  Signed Laugh Bear

Dear Laugh Bear,

I don’t get it.  What’s so funny about those sayings?  Looks down at hooves – they’re hooves not piggies.  Shakes head and walks off to ask mom.

 

Dear Bacon,

What?  You never saw a monkey with it’s legs crossed sitting in a tree pondering life?  I mean all of the great philosophers did some heavy thinking.  What’s the difference with me?  Signed Aristotle

Dear Aristotle,

There is no difference.  You carry on and keep having those deep thoughts.  When you get them all together, please share with me so we can have a deep discussion.  I have heavy thoughts at times as well my friend.
