Dear Bacon – This is called *the* look. You know the one that your parents do between themselves when they get all gooey eyed with each other. I wanted to send it to you so you can practice. Cause you know love day is coming and you need to market this look to get a date for Valentine’s. I know you have it in you. Who could ever resist that little pot belly of yours. Practice – practice and more practice my friend. You’re welcomed. Signed Stud
❤
Dear Stud – OMP. Thanks my friend!! I am so going to start practicing this look and marketing it. I need all of the help I can get with the ladies. And thank you for calling my pot belly little. I appreciate that so very much buddy! I just knew that this pot belly would come in handy one day. Look at dad. He has one and he got lucky with mom! Snorts and rolls with piggy laughter.
Dear Bacon – I double pig bet you that you can’t do this. In fact, I just *know* you can’t. See sometimes I try to mess with my humans and stand on my back paws. Meows. It keeps them guessing what I will do next. I just want to see them doing this too. Signed Twinkle Toes
❤
Dear Twinkle Toes – That is a given talent my sweet dear friend. There is no way this little piglet could do that for sure. Heck with this pot belly, I can barely see my back feet.
Dear Bacon – Wassup!?! Never fear if you see me hanging under your fence. Just wanted to see wassup and whatcha parents cooking on that grill. It smells good from here. Can I have a bite or dozen? Signed Voyeur
❤
Dear Voyeur – Hilarious bro! I love the way you think of hanging out to see what’s going on in the hood. Pop over anytime…. or should I say pop under? Snorts and rolls with piggy laughter. And hey, mom/dad were grilling hamburgers on the grill. If one falls, it’s free game to us anipals. Come on over. I’ll share.
Dear Bacon – Come on dude. Let’s “fly” some air outside and do some jumps. It’s a happening thing and you will love the air in your hair… or wings. I’ve heard some oinkers have wings. Call me and we will have a skate date. Signed Hawk Fly
❤
Dear Hawk Fly – Dude, I think it would be fly to soar through the air weighless. I just don’t think (A) there’s a skateboard big enough for my pot belly and (B) my pot belly could ever take flight unless someone shoved me off of a cliff or the top of the house. On second thought, forget I said that. Dad might read it and get ideas. Have fun Hawk Fly!
Dear Bacon – The New York City subway is a strict bus service. Dogs can’t walk on buses. They have to be carried, in strollers, etc. My human created me a good one – a skateboard. Hey, I put on a hat and headset and nobody even knows I’m a pooch. Really! And hey, we are not breaking any rules whatsoever. So go us, right? Signed Disguised Celebrity
❤
Dear Disguised Celebrity – My friend, do I have someone you need to get in touch with! See Hawk Fly above. Ya’ll could fly around the bus services like you wouldn’t believe together. Just think of the possibilities of fun! Just remember – safety first!
Dear Bacon – I’ve made a grave mistake. There was a hole in the back of this contraption. I crawled in and when I did, it shut closed. Now I’m stuck… I feel like a squirrel on display for the world to see. The birds are pointing and laughing at me. What am I to do? Help? Signed Mannequin Squirrel
Dear Mannequin Squirrel – WOW! What can I say? You do look awesome with your mannequin display. I can say perhaps you should enjoy what you can… maybe take a seat and a quick bite of that delightful feed. By the time you get done with your dinner, maybe the owner of the house will see you in your tight spot and help you out. If not, can you jump and push the top off for a quick escape? And don’t worry about the birds pointing and laughing. Might you remind them that you have plenty of food to eat while you wait unlike them – snorts.
Dear Bacon – We like to put the warning out there for the humans. If you cross the metal gates leading into our kingdom, be warned. You will experience a death like no other from the ankles down. We may be small and short but we have sharp teeth like a shark. Just sayin’. Does your little brother do the same? Signed Harley and Davidson
Dear Harley and Davidson – Awesome idea my friends. Truth is in the advertising. If peeps are dumb enough to cross that warning, their ankles deserve what they get. And yes. Houdini has the sharpest teeth that I’ve ever felt. That’s right – I said felt. I feel them when he tries to hang off of my piggy tail and swing back and forth like I’m an amusement park. The little guy has no respect for this pig – he thinks I’m his personal jungle gym.
Dear Bacon – Honestly. I was asleep the entire time that the master was away. Really I was. When I woke up, the front room cushions exploded. I didn’t hear a thing! Exploded I tell you. Of course, I’m getting the blame. But really it wasn’t me. Signed Lab Shredder
Dear Lab Shredder – Darn those dust bunnies for striking again! I believe you my friend. I really do. Dust bunnies sound cute and look kind of cute but all alone they can be little vultures that wreak havoc all over the house blaming us anipals. Shakes and shivers from fear. They can’t be trusted at all. No way! I say you need to hunt them down one by one and take care of them. As far as you getting the blame for this. If it wasn’t on video and there is nothing concrete showing you did it, I say they have to let you walk my friend. No evidence means NOT GUILTY. Lowers my hammer in my court room and says dismissed.
Dear Bacon – It’s really not what it looks like. Me and my friend were playing leap frog. We see frogs do it all of the time and we thought we would try it. We turned on the camera and started. We posted this on Instagram and everyone went crazy saying that we were multi-flying. No honestly we weren’t. We were just playing a game. What do you think? Signed Doris and Rock
Dear Doris and Rock – Snorts with piggy laughter. Whatever you kids are calling it this day, sure. Just be safe my friends.
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!
What were your first thoughts when you met your new parents? I wondered if I would be allowed to grow out my feathers and fly. I was so excited to learn that I could! I was ready to leave my previous home and go with the new family. I figured I had nothing to lose!
What was the defining moment when you knew you were in your forever home? Probably when my new parents got so concerned that I was too bored and lonely that they installed cable and gave me a TV! I was so excited – they must really love me! I like watching TV all day; I learn lots of new sounds and words.
What has been your biggest “Oh no, now I’ve done it” moment so far in your home? I can’t think of anything. I’m going to let Sugar answer that one next week; he has LOTS of those moments. I’m a good girl and don’t do that sort of thing (*bending over to preen a little*)
Who do you have wrapped around your paws more – mom or dad – and why? Dad! We watch movies together sometimes, and he hangs out with me a lot. Talons down, it’s DAD!
What’s the biggest misconception that humans think about you? I hate it when people think that I’m just babbling and don’t know what I’m saying. Sure, there are times I just like to play around with new sounds and roll them off my tongue, but if I’m talking to someone, then I mean what I say. We’re not just some sort of a recording device. We know what our words mean. Well, mostly.
Hope you enjoyed meeting my friend – check back next week for another Spotlight edition!
Oh my friends – lowers my puppy head. How was your week? Me, well as you can see from exhibit A – barks! – I’ve been a bad boy. You see, I’ve been taking correspondent lessons on toy destruction from Easy across the pond. I’ve been trying really, REALLY hard to get my timing down just right in how long it takes for my toys to blow up all over the place. It’s a work in progress.
Well, mommy came home from the worky place one day this week to this picture. Before she would even pet me, she had to take this picture and have a prayer meeting with me. I mean it wasn’t anything important that I destroyed. It was my toy football. You can see it – that yellow thing towards the bottom of the picture. I think I did a pretty good job in making it pay for its evil ways. What do you think?
That’s it for this week my friends – take care and have an awesome weekend!
Oh – and this weeks Jokes with Daddy. Oh my friends, I have a classic for you. This is really good. I hope you enjoy it!

REMEMBER friends. Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your pictures and questions via email.
Oh friends. Shakes piggy head. Sometimes I see something that comes on my television that I just *have* to share. This is one of those times. There I was in my bedroom late last night watching my shows. Then this commercial comes on selling this unique product called Bug-A-Salt Fly Shooter. I have to admit it. I about fell out of my toddler bed laughing and snorting so hard. I really thought that I was going to wake up mom/dad in the next room.
Bug-A-Salt Fly Shooter holds up to 50 pellets of SALT that can then be aimed at those pesky flies that are swarming your house. Death to all house flies huh?
Now first up – who has that many flies in your house at one time? If you do, you don’t need a Bug-A-Salt Fly Shooter You need to call a priest for an exorcist. There’s something bad going down in your crib.
Second up – I’m not really sure which is funnier. The actual product or that someone would buy if for the sale price of only $39.99!
Shakes my piggy head. I think I’m in the wrong business. I need to come up with this type of product. But then again, remember friends – Christmas is right around the corner. Snorts!
Oh squeals! I was watching television this past weekend resting up from the renovation here and I saw it. Something that was so fantastic – so glorious – so out of this world. I just *had* to share. Squeals – I can do this. I can do this!
NOTE: Due to Bacon’s Show and Tell coming out tomorrow (3/31/2015), I am featuring my weekly Tuesday edition of Dear Bacon issue today. I hope you enjoy my friends!
Dear Bacon – When you are tired, you are tired. What can I say? I’ve watched the humans here at my paradise. When they come home from work, they lay down on the couch and put their legs up. I thought I would give it a whirl. I gotta say, it’s awesome. So relaxing and peaceful. Have you ever tried this? Signed Forty Winks
Dear Forty Winks – You know you look so peaceful there my friend. I’m going to have bounce the purr things off of the couch here, climb up and stretch on the big boy couch to see what it feels like. I have gotten on mom’s love seat with her but somehow your position looks so appealing. Thanks for the tidbit of information. I’m off to see if purr things can fly now. Snorts
Dear Bacon – The mailman was being so rude when he snapped this picture. Yes I was taking a power nap. But let me set the record straight right now. If he had opened the gate or stepped one toe into my space, I would have been on him like a casing on a sausage. I’m just sayin’ – no joking around. I protects what is mind. Signed Power Pup
Dear Power Pup – You know my friend I believe you. How dare that mailman take this photograph of you and send it to your humans. I just know you will get even for that little mis-step… right? I’m sure a great sneak attack barking ferociously will set that guy in his place… in more ways than one. Keep me posted.
Dear Bacon – My human said I was quote, “Flying off of the rafters” and advised me to take a nap. Yes that is right. She sent me to her room while she had company. Hhmmphh – I was sore for a few minutes. That is until I pounced on top of the big bed and got comfy on her pillow. These humans have the life! What luxury they sleep in – and they expect us to sleep on the floor. I don’t think so. This pillow is now marked MINE… all MINE. Signed Spoiled Puss
Dear Spoiled Puss – Hey, I’m with you my friend. The humans do sleep in luxury. I agree 100%. That’s why every time I get a chance, I’m so on mom/dad’s Select Comfort bed right in the middle with *my* pillow. And yep, I would be a 65 on the Sleep Number bed – snorts. Happy Dreams.
Dear Bacon – Our human went to sleep while we were out playing. We heard them snoring. Dude, they can make the racket louder than any of us, right? Well, me and my twin thought we would just stare at them until it woke them up. Have you ever done this? It’s a fun game. The woke with a start. I think we have powers… secret powers. Signed Pig Powers
Dear Pig Powers – One pig to you two, I *know* we have super powers. The humans just don’t realize it but they will soon when we take over the world! Snorts – Pig Power
Dear Bacon – Oh dude. I went out last night with the boys and things got a little wild. Okay maybe a LOT wild. I woke up like this on a picnic table in a yard I don’t know with none of my friends. I don’t even know what we did. Shakes head – what a night! Signed Cat Calling
Dear Cat Calling – Oh my friend, you need to slow down and rethink your life. You don’t even know what you did, where you ended up at and no friends to help you in case something happened while you were sleeping. You might want to rethink that party life and focus on the future. Your college cat calling nights on the fence might be over. Take care of you okay!
REMEMBER FRIENDS – We can’t have Dear Bacon issues without YOU. Keep your pictures and questions coming to me via email 🙂
