Dear Bacon

 Dear Bacon – You know these days there are lots of people knocking on doors, some selling things, some begging for money, etc.  Well, we like to go door to door too.  We think that three great looking dogs can sniff out where food is being cooked and perhaps someone would like to share.  I mean look at our faces, you would, right?  At this particular house we smelled bacon… sorry dude.  And yes, the owner of the home shared some with us.  So you never know who might be knocking at your door.  Signed Three Amigos

Dear Three Amigos – Well that does bring new meaning to door to door.  And that’s awesome that people want to share with you three.  But no bacon here… really.  You might find some kibbles and bits from the little guy here though so come a knocking 🙂  I’ll share.

 Dear Bacon –  Don’t let anyone fool you.  Shaking my head – I fell for it BIG time from my so called doggy friends.  They dared me to bite and chew a ghost pepper.  Why do we take these bets?  Because they make us look big with our friends.  But I’m telling you – it’s not worth it.  That pepper was so hot that all I could do was lay down on a bunch of ice – doesn’t matter that it’s getting cold here.  My entire body was on FIRE.  Shaking my head.  Don’t do it Bacon – never take a dare of this magnitude.  Signed Hot Stuff

Dear Hot Stuff – I will so take your word for it friend.  I will not even look at one of these peppers no way.  And if I even think that it’s hot, I’ll give it to daddy first.  Snorts with piggy laughter.  Yep, that’s exactly what I will do.  Thanks for the heads up – try to cool down.

 Dear Bacon – In every family, there is that one family member that no one can stand.  Go ahead and admit it.  You know it’s true.  When Aunt Edna comes to our house, nobody wants to answer the door.  She’s such a cougar!  And with it being the holidays, you know that family member is coming.  Be prepared.  Signed Home for the Holidays

Dear Home for the Holidays – Oh snaps.  I do know exactly what you mean my friend.  There is one in every family for sure.  I think certain family members coming to stay with you during the holidays should be treated like fish.  After three days, they need to leave STAT.  Be safe and strong during this time.

---

 Dear Bacon –  My human loves snapping pictures.  I don’t mind for the most part.  It’s only when those times that come on really it’s your quiet time that I complain about.

No one wants to see me drool or for my tongue to be hanging out.  That’s not for pictures.  When will these humans learn?!  Signed Private

Dear Private – I agree with you 100% my friend.  Some things cameras don’t need to catch.  Heck, my mom once took a picture of me using the bathroom.  Really?!

For goodness sake mom!  I say we need to turn the tables on them for a change.  Maybe we should start taking their pictures in these less than pretty pictures.  Come on – let’s take a stand and unite!

---

Dear Bacon – Sometimes us anipals want to be other things… for instance, I’ve always wanted to be a dinosaur.  I mean think of the possibilities with that, right?  So my human, they new what I wanted and for my birthday they made me a dinosaur.  Can you hear me roaring?  Awesome for me!!  Have you ever wanted to be something else?  Signed Doggysaurus Rex

Dear Doggsaurus Rex – Dude, I say you look magnificent.  Really I do.  And your humans made you what you wanted.  I think that is so cool.  I’ve always wanted to be human.  In some ways, I think I am.  What do you think?

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon – As you can see, I’m in this contraption my new humans like to call a box.  I call it a box of hell.  I mean I was okay with the humans putting me in it and taking me to their vehicle but to strap me in like the box is part of me – they will pay.  Not at first because I’m fortunate to be adopted.  But after a while… after making my new living conditions mine, they will pay.  I smell dog in this car so I do hope they have a dog and I do hope said dog is ready to be blamed for everything.  Signed Nails Out

Dear Nails Out – Oh pal.  I hate to say it but it’s almost funny to look at the picture.  Now don’t get me wrong.  I’m not laughing at your situation.  Of course I wouldn’t do that.  But the picture of a box with arms attached – oh have mercy.  I so understand the complete concept of payback.  That poor pooch doesn’t know what is coming to his digs.

Dear Bacon – Everyone keeps saying that can’t wait for winter or fall and the cooler weather.  I say no.  I like the summer.  You don’t see us anipals bundles up to go out to use the facilities.  You don’t see us anipals where boots and coats when it’s raining.  This is me from last year.  bbbrr – can’t you just feel the cold weather.  Nope. I think I’ll pass…. but I guess mother nature won’t let me.  So, it’s time to dig out my umbrella, scarf and rain boots again.  There’s nothing like trying to pee outside where water is already all over you.  Signed Special

Dear Special – You know I like the way you think my friend.  I myself am not very fond of the outdoors, especially in the elements.  Perhaps your humans can fix you a potty area off of the back door or something.  You know so you don’t get wet.  But if not, I have to say you look adorable in your fall outfit for sure.

---

Dear Bacon –  Hey dude.  I’m like saying to my humans that if the potential president of our United States can have a comb over, like why can’t I?  Right?  And I have to admit that like I carry the comb over so much better than that dude for sure.  I mean like for real!  This is like my look and I’m digging it for sure.  I like the close shave all except my comb over which makes me like stand out in front of everyone else.  I mean dude with that in mind, maybe *I* should run like for the president of these United States.  I think like I have as much experience as the others, right?  Would you like vote for a dude like me?  Signed Dude

Dear Dude – I think everyone in the United States should write you in when they vote.  Just your views on life and your style, that makes you stand out in front of everyone else.  Nobody can claim that you have a double making appearances.  Nobody can claim that your cold.  Nobody can claim that you are not your very own dog.  I like that in a running campaign.  I say go for it.  And remember, free treats for everyone that votes!

Dear Bacon – They say you can be whoever you want to be.  I’ve always wanted to be a dinosaur.  I mean who wouldn’t, right?  I’ve always roared and told my humans that I’m strong like dinosaur.  They found this horse coat and boom they knew it had my name all over it.  Now, I love wearing it.  Wouldn’t you be scared if you saw me coming your way?  You would, wouldn’t you?  Signed Roar

Dear Roar – Oh my piggy heavens!  I’m shaking with fear.  That is so awesome my friend.  I love your coat and I think you make the coat.  I think it’s awesome that your humans bought if for you.  In fact,with your coat on, you could be a superhero.  I can see it now on all the televisions and papers – “Super Roar Adventures”.  It has a great sound to it, right?  Keep having an awesome time in your coat dear friend!

---

Dear Bacon – I claim not fair!  My doggy rights have been violated.  Who do I need to make a report to?  My friends are buttheads.  That’s right.  I said it.  They kept telling me about a new friend they met and how we had to meet because I would love them.  That’s when they introduced me to the new friend and then stepped to the side to take a picture of me saying hello.  Buttheads.  How do I get even Bacon?  Signed Caught Sniffing

Dear Caught Sniffing – Shaking my piggy head.  I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that gets caught in these types of things.  I’m so sure that there will come a time when they forget about this incident and everything with the stars line up just right that you will get even for sure.  AND I’m thinking it might be better than this episode… maybe.

Bacon’s Show and Tell

Welcome my Friends to August – Bacon’s Show and Tell

This month we are talking about that ONE thing that you had growing up that impressed your life all of these years that you still think about it?  Something that maybe perhaps you still have somewhere put away in your home?  Something that when you look back at and think of the times you had with this ONE thing that it makes you smile so wide and your heart just glows?

Today I want to talk about one of mom’s things that has touched her all of her life.  Something that she has kept  and would never do without.  See this little dresser – three deep drawers with foxes/bears on the front.  This little dresser has been in mom’s life close to 46 years.  You see, shortly after mom was born her daddy built this little dresser for her.  And mom has kept it all these years.

It has lots of dings and scratches and some of the stickers on the front are even starting to come off.  But still mom has it and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.  It sits in my and Houdini’s room and we treasure it too.

In fact, currently it is being used to store all of Houdini’s clothes.  So you can kind of say that it’s second generation now doing it’s thing. ❤

Bacon’s Show and Tell

Welcome my friends to Bacon’s Show and Tell for January.  This month we are talking about something embarrassing that has happened in our life.  It could be something from child hood, adult hood – last week for that matter.

My mom/dad are known for their troublesome ways.  In fact, I do believe that trouble finds them each and every time they leave the Hotel Thompson.  It’s just going to happen.  I’ve accepted that in my piggy life.  So today, I want to share two stories with you on my parents on something embarrassing.

First up – Dad

Now if you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know that dad is a character.  One night dad and mom decided to go out to dinner down the street at a local cafe.  Dad put on some sweats and an old t-shirt, nothing elaborate.  They drove down to the dinner, got out and started to walk to the front door.  The restaurant had windows all along the front of it and you could see inside as well as the people see outside.  Dad went to step up on the walkway and right about that time his pants got tired and fell down to his ankles.  Nothing like dinner and a show huh?  Snorts with piggy laughter.

Second up – Mom

Sweet mom.  Dad’s always picking on her and getting away with it in public places.  You know for two old people, they can be cute this way.  Dad will sometimes sneak a kiss or pat mom on the butt and nobody ever catches him doing it.  One time, mom/dad were at the mall at a store named Macy’s.  They were walking around and mom thought she was going to pat dad on the butt like he does her.  She went and did it.  Well about that time, this elderly lady turns the corner and catches mom right in the action.  Oh dear piggy heavens.  You would have thought with the way the elderly lady acted that she had caught mom grabbing dad’s front side and not his back side.  It was priceless.  Of course, dad walked off leaving mom standing there all embarrassed while said lady gave mom a tongue lashing like you wouldn’t believe.  When mom tried to walk away, the elderly lady followed her telling her that her actions were unladylike and very unbecoming a southern lady.

My Parents are Weird

  Bet you didn’t know that, huh?  Snorts – sure you did.  My humans were dropped on their heads too much as children.  In fact, I think they probably fell off the back of several pick up trucks while growing up.  This past weekend, they decided to go to the movies before having our “family meeting”.  What a joke that was but you know about that already and I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about that soon.  So all goes well.  Mom has been wanting to see the movie Jurassic World.  She loves all of those movies but she wanted to wait until the hoopla died down a bit so the theater wouldn’t be overly crowded.  Good plan huh?

So they went and mom gets her favorite treat – popcorn – while dad goes for his favorite – nachos and cheese.  Can these two agree on anything – snorts?  So there they were watching the gazillion previews and trailers for up and coming new movies.  Rolls piggy eyes.  Mom said by the time the previews got over, she turned to daddy and said, “What are we watching today?”  Isn’t that how it is though?  That’s why I insist on watching movies at home in my bedroom.  I can stop and pause for potty breaks and popcorn in the comfort of my toddler bed.  Snorts.

But there they were chowing down and waiting for the movie to start.  That’s when mom said it happened.  Mom said that one of dad’s nacho and cheese chips ‘jumped’ in the middle of her popcorn bag.  What?  How did that happen, right?  That’s when daddy said he ‘might have’ had some help with it.  Really daddy?  I’m shocked.

So he picked up some popcorn on his nacho and cheese and said it was delicious.  Mom tried one and said it was really good.  Thus that started the Nachos-cheese-popcorn party before the movie.  Rolls piggy eyes.  Those two are so easily amused.

The movie then started and for the next two hours they were quiet.  Mom said the movie was outstanding.  Dad said it was great.  There were ups and downs and you have to be kidding me situations.  But overall, they highly recommended it.  Afterwards they came home and that’s when it happened.  I think daddy brought someone home with him.  Of course mommy was like, “Can we keep him”.  All I gotta say is he’s not staying in my bedroom!

 

Bacon’s Show and Tell

This month we are sharing something that was hilarious that you got as a gift whether it was a present, a card or a note and what made it funny.

Well my friends – you know my humans – snorts – enough said huh?  I asked mom about this and she thought for a few minutes and then started laughing.  That’s a good sign, right?  Now she had a lot to work with being with daddy for almost 27 years now.  I asked her to tell me about what was so funny.  This is what she says:

“Years ago… I mean years ago… your father got me a Valentine’s Day card.  It was so sweet with a box of candy and flowers.  All of that was perfect and made me oohh and aaww.  But what was written “IN” the card by your daddy is what was the best and made me realize how much he loved me.  He wrote in the card:  You look as good to me as a bare ankle to a rattlesnake.  Now if that doesn’t scream love, what does?”
