Spotlight Thursday – Meet Rocky and Bullwinkle
Spotlight Thursday
Welcome my friends to SPOTLIGHT THURSDAY. This is the time that I will introduce you to one of my fellow anipals so you can get to know them better. Some of them, you may already know. We hope that you enjoy this series!
❤ Rocky and Bullwinkle are Facebook friends. They will be checking in throughout the day to answer any comments/questions. Let’s welcome them ❤
Name: Rocky and Bullwinkle
Age: One years young
Location: Cumming, Georgia
Web/Blog Page: Facebook – Rocky and Bullwinkle
What were your first thoughts when you met your new parents? Our dad was scary at first. He had to chase us to get us in the crate. We ran away but eventually he caught us. He was very nice but it was scary being placed in the back of the truck. When we got to our new home, we met our mommy who was very beautiful ❤ and she was so nice to us. We knew right away our mommy really loved us.
What was the defining moment when you knew you were in your forever home? After finishing our job of eating all of the ivy and brush, we knew they fell in love with us and built us a house. And our new fur mom Sierra loved us a lot.
What has been your biggest “Oh no, now I’ve done it” moment so far in your home? Rocky here. My big no-no was good. I escaped out of the fence. That’s bad enough but wait for it. I then ate mom’s favorite plant. Okay yeah that was definitely bad but wait for it. I then jumped on the table outside and pooped on it. Yeah, and they still kept me. If nothing shows love, that does. Bullwinkle here. My big no-no wasn’t as bad as Rocky’s – trust me on that. The worst I do is maybe scream and maybe complain when I’m hungry. But don’t you complain when you’re hungry?
Who do you have wrapped around your paws more – mom or dad – and why? Rocky here. I’m like dad. People actually call us two peas in a pod and say that me and dad think the same and act crazy. Bullwinkle here. I’m very close to mom. We love each very much!
What’s the biggest misconception that humans think about you? People think us goats eat tin cans – we don’t even like the taste! Actually we are very intelligent and we put things in/out of our mouths because that’s how we find out what things are like – you know like how dogs smell things. And if anyone gets a goat, we need to come in pairs. We don’t do well without a friend. And let me tell you, a lonely goat is a bad goat. And we are very loving. We can act like big goofy dogs.♥
This is us – Rocky and Bullwinkle – with Sierra. Happy Trails!
Hope you enjoyed meeting my friend – check back next week for another Spotlight edition!
Spotlight Thursday – Meet Toby
Spotlight Thursday
Welcome my friends to SPOTLIGHT THURSDAY. This is the time that I will introduce you to one of my fellow anipals so you can get to know them better. Some of them, you may already know. We hope that you enjoy this series!
♥ FRIENDS – make sure you leave some messages. Toby will be checking in throughout the day and answering comments. ♥
Name: Toby Wilson
Age: I am twelve years old. My birthday was July 18th.
Location: I live in Hampton, Ga with my Mom, dad, and my brother, Max( he’s 4 and he doesn’t look like me but he’s brother all the same.
Web/Blog Page: My Mom’s Facebook Page
What were your first thoughts when you met your new parents? Hmmm my first thoughts when I met my new parents. I think I was about six and when my other dad brought me to their house I didn’t realize I was staying. When I got there I ran up the stairs and all over the house and then something happened. My new Mom took me for a walk. I peed on all the mailboxes in the neighborhood. Oh I hope it’s OK I said peed. It was so much. Then we went back to the house and I looked all over the house for my dad (now my former dad) and I couldn’t find him no where. I laid at the top of the stairs and waited for him to come back. I was sad. My new mom petted me trying to make feel better but I just wanted my mom and dad t
o get me. Then later my new dad came in and I barked at him and then you know what happened? My new dad and mom took me for a walk and I peed on the mailboxes again. It took me a little while to realize my first mom and dad weren’t coming back but now I wouldn’t give anything for my new mom and dad now( well actually they’re not new anymore). I still get to see my old my mom and dad sometimes, which is great, but I prefer my new mom and dad.
What was the defining moment when you knew you were in your forever home? I’m not sure. I know love the things my mom and dad do with me. They will give me belly rubs when I ask. I get a lots of treats. They even let me have food from their plate. I love my mom and dad and love being here with them forever.
What has been your biggest “Oh no, now I’ve done it” moment so far in your home? My “Oh No moment” is when I just have to poop in the house when mom and dad are gone. I have to cover it up so they don’t see it. I use some of Max’s toys to cover it with in hopes they don’t see it but somehow they still see and scold me. But when it’s my mom, she’ll feel bad and still give me a treat. I so love her. 
Who do you have wrapped around your paws more – mom or dad – and why? My mom is so wrapped around my paws. She will do anything for me. I just look her and she says, “OK Toby, but only one treat”. I finish that one and I look at her again and she’ll give me another one. She picks me up and holds me whenever I want her to. Not my Dad. He’ll say I have enough.
What’s the biggest misconception that humans think about you? The biggest misconception humans think about me when a car starts without me in it and I start barking at it and I won’t let them leave. They think I am scared of the car but that’s not it at all. I just want to go for a ride. I don’t know why they won’t take me for a ride. I really am a fun guy.
Hope you enjoyed meeting my friend – check back next week for another Spotlight edition!
Hashtags Can be Fun – Let’s Revisit
Oh friends – I heard the funniest thing last night. They use hashtags on Twitter, Facebook and other social media to include your own blog. It’s a great and wonderful tool.
But – you knew there was a but coming up didn’t you? But, there is a new trend on hashtags. The new trend is to say a movie name followed by the hashtag of #inmypants. Of course, I didn’t get it for obvious reasons… I don’t wear pants. Then dad explained it to me. Light bulbs went off. Then we all came up with some funny ones last night here at the Hotel Thompson. It seems kind of what is the big deal until you start doing them and possibly some wine is involved, then it goes to hilarious in about five seconds. Trust me on that.
Moby Dick #inmypants
The Fast and the Furious #inmypants
Psycho #inmypants
Gone With the Wind #inmypants
One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest #inmypants
A Streetcar Named Desire #inmypants
King Kong #inmypants
See what I mean? The more you come up with, the more you start losing control and laughing hysterically. What funny ones can you come up with to share?
Dear Bacon
Dear Bacon – Now listen up little pig. I read about your antics at different times there at the Hotel Thompson. You need to nice to those purr things. Listen to your nana now okay. Signed Nana Purr Thing
Dear Nana Purr Thing – Ma’am I’m as nice to the purr things as they are to me. Really – you don’t know how they act to me at times. They can be devious beyond belief. And hey thanks for the advice. I do appreciate it. And you might want to wash your face – there’s something on it. Helpful piggy see 🙂
Dear Bacon – Help. I know it’s my birthday but please explain why my humans just can’t give me a dog biscuit or a bond or something. Why do they have to dress me up in this ridiculous hat ensemble? Please explain that to me. Please and help. Signed Happy Birthday To Me
Dear Happy Birthday To Me – Trust me my friend. It could always be worse. Last year for Houdini’s first birthday he got the works. Mom dressed him up with a similar hat, a t-shirt and even threw him a party with the neighborhood anipals. Shaking my piggy head. It was a rough day for him. Just take it in and smile. This day should pass.
Dear Bacon – Look at me, I’m a cow. MOO – MOO – MOO. Do you think I will pass when I go and interview with the Chick-Fil-A cows this afternoon? Signed Moo in Disguise
Dear Moo in Disguise – Pass what? I think you are a lovely cow my friend. Just be careful out in the fields okay. I’ve heard that cow tipping is a sport these days and humans love to do it.
Dear Bacon – Oh yes my faithful human. I’m in a position that I can’t get out of but you go right ahead. Take a picture, post it on Facebook and share it with your friends. Make sure the picture shows me in my moment of disgust. We wouldn’t want you to have a bad picture. I’ll just sit here with this contraption on my head. We all know it’s about you and your friends. I’ll wait patiently sharpening my claws. You just get back to me as soon as you can okay. Signed Kitty Waiting for Payback
Dear Kitty Waiting for Payback – Amen my purr thing. I feel your pain. Well, not your pain all twisted up in that slinky contraption. But the pain of the humans taking pictures first and not just any picture – the perfect picture to share on line with everyone. I think those claws should be sharpened to their finest for a little display of your unhappiness. Can I send you a file to help you out? Just let me know okay.
REMEMBER my friends. Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your letters and pictures to my email. ♥
Friends Outside of Facebook
You know my friends I do everything I can to find exciting and outrageous information for you from the internet. This is one of those times. Finding friends outside of Facebook – here you go – enjoy 🙂 
We Really Got Snow – Really – No Joke
Okay – maybe a little joke. You see mommy was at work yesterday. One of her bosses came up to her and said, “Look, it’s getting rough outside, go ahead and leave”. Now, it was only 15 minutes early (doh!) but mom packed up and went outside expecting the worse.
That’s when she had to look hard to find the “weather is getting worse” statement one of her bosses made. Okay, there was some white stuff on the windows of the Jeep. But who knows, that could have been a handful of salt – snorts with piggy laughter.
Mom just *had* to take a picture to show everyone in blogville that snow does happen here in the south. Okay, not so much snow but it can happen. What was even funnier is that mom posted this picture of the ‘great snow’ on her Facebook account and sent this picture to friends and family. Everyone thought it was much more funnier that here it is winter time and mom is wearing a thin t-shirt than the great snow – 🙂 LOL. What can I say, my mom is hot stuff and always wears t-shirts year round. Funny huh? Do you wear t-shirts year round too? Are you a warm bodied person like my mom?
I also wanted to share this picture I found on the ‘cloud’ here at the Hotel Thompson that my mom/dad took over the weekend. Shaking piggy head. I tell you my friends. Those two parents of mine can not be trusted to go out and about by themselves.
Daddy got held up at the Target store! Look at that – the proof is in the picture. Nice Mr. Storm Trooper kept saying, “Hans Solo”, and daddy thought he was talking about his hands being solo. I told you – my dad is special – in the mind!
Just by looking at daddy and his attire, can you guess what football team he likes? Is it obvious?
And I thought I would share a little something else I found on the ‘cloud’. Apparently daddy was telling jokes in the car the other day too. So let me present – “Jokes with Daddy”. Let me just apologize in advance okay. Snorts with piggy laughter.
Let’s Party – What’s Your Band Name?
Oh, this is going to be good my friends. I saw this on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t resist in sharing with all of my blogville friends. Snorts – let the party begin – what is *your* band name?
Mine – of course I don’t wear underwear but my body is black. The last thing I ate was Cheerios. So my band name is The Black Cheerios. Sounds kind of goth huh?
Houdini – no underwear but he’s gray. He had duck. The Gray Ducks. Classical?
Mouse Girl – she’s black/white. She had Iams. Black and White Iams? Shaking my head.
Hemi – He’s Orange and he ate some of dad’s chips a while ago. The Orange Chips.
Now here come the good ones – mom and dad – snorts with piggy laughter. I can’t resist including them.
Dad ate some chips – Sour Cream and Onion to be exact and his undies are gray… I know because I watched him put them on – snorts. The Gray Chips (sounds old huh?) or The Gray Sour Cream and Onion
Mom ate a biscuit and I saw those fluorescent green undies this morning – hubba-hubba. Her band name –
The Florescent Green Biscuit – go mom!
So what is *your* band name my friends?
Spotlight Thursday – Meet Jeep
Spotlight Thursday
Welcome my friends to our edition of SPOTLIGHT THURSDAY. This is the time that I will introduce you to one of my fellow anipals so you can get to know them better. Some of them, you may already know. We hope that you enjoy this new series!
UPDATE: Jeep turned ONE yesterday – OMP – Squeals – Let’s all wish him a Happy Birthday too!

Web/Blog Page: Neutron Jeep – Facebook (Be sure to pop over and say hey – remember to tell Jeep that Bacon and Houdini sent you.)
What were your first thoughts when you met your new parents? Thank God! They look like they love doggies
What was the defining moment when you knew you were in your forever home? Mommy did the “flipty flip” thing with me while Daddy filmed it.
What has been your biggest “Oh no, now I’ve done it” moment so far in your home? I growled at Daddy while I was eating his leftover steak bone. He threw away the bone and put me in “time out” it was very sad.
Who do you have wrapped around your paws more – mom or dad – and why? Daddy. He likes to act tough but he can NEVER resist loving on me when I brush up against him
What’s the biggest misconception that humans think about you? I’m a “cute”, “sweet”, and loving little dog. I’m not that little. I’m not always “good” and CERTAINLY not always “sweet”.

Domestic Violence – A Word from Mom
Sometimes you hear about something on the news that totally blows your mind away. Some of you may know, we watch a lot of paranormal shows here at the Hotel Thompson. That’s something that intrigues us. In watching these shows, you get to know some of the people that you see. And with social media the way it is these days, you even get to chat with these people from time to time. You may not have met in real life but like people here on the blog or on Facebook, you become friends.
Mom spoke to one of these friends a couple of weeks ago when she posted that she and her husband were separating. Of course, we never know the circumstances from any marriage, behind any closed door or what takes place between a couple. You don’t throw judgement, you support the decision and try to help.
Yesterday morning, the estranged husband kidnapped his wife and held her hostage in Nevada. There was a police stand off and SWAT was called to the scene. The husband not only ended up killing his wife and himself, there was also a third person whose name has not been released yet.
This situation has just touched my heart so hard and I had difficulty sleeping last night from thinking about it all. After doing some research on line, I saw that there was some difficulties in the relationship since earlier this year and one or the other was charged with domestic violence on two different situations. It still doesn’t make sense why it needed to come to this. What did it solve? You have the family and the public/fans of the couple just questioning why? It makes sense if you are having difficulty in a relationship to move on and give each other some breathing room. Why did it have to escalate not to 1 but 3 deaths is just unimaginable.
Friends and visitors to my blog, if you are in a relationship with domestic violence, please get help. Don’t stay. Don’t be a statistic. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. I know that’s easier said than done. And I know that none of us know the exact circumstances to this case and that there are always two sides to every story. But please get and be safe. Life is too short and precious.
