Welcome my friends to October – we all know what that means. It’s time for Bacon’s Spooktoberfest! A month full of things that go bump in the middle of the night. The strange noises that vibrate through the house. The kind of eerie creepiness that settles in that you just want to run to your room and hide under your bed… Shivers. I almost scared myself. So friends stay tuned to my blog for excitement. This year, we are doing things a little different. We are writing a continuous story for 31 days of Bacon’s Spooktoberfest. So if you miss a day, you can catch up. Have a fun and scary month sweet friends.
And don’t worry, you can always hold my hoof.
I’m telling you friends, mom/dad came home late last night. We were all so glad here at the Hotel Thompson. It hasn’t rained here in so long. Everything has just been so fine. The moment mom/dad goes away, of course it has to pour. Of course the electricity has to go out. Of course someone would send us anonymous outrageous texts. Of course. Seriously who have I pissed off? Who have any of us pissed off?
And mom/dad came home, but something is weird with them. They are awfully secretive. Shaking my head. Things are off kilter here at the Hotel Thompson.
Welcome my friends to October 1, 2018 – we all know what that means. It’s time for Bacon’s Spooktoberfest! A month full of things that go bump in the middle of the night.

Meows – This being left alone for the entire weekend could be a blast! Bacon and Houdini can have their spaces. I want the big bed in mom/dad’s room. That is like the happening place here in the Hotel Thompson. I can watch my Investigative Discovery television channel and bring on all of my kibbles in there. Nana can wait on my paws when she comes to feed us. I may even purr at her once/twice just so she thinks I care… even though I don’t – evil purrs. It’s what I do. Wait a minute, I just got a text with a video. Who would be sending me a video? The number says unknown. That’s weird.
Shivers to meow mercy! Who in the heck would send me something like this?! It has to be that pig. Yep, nods head. It has to be Bacon trying to get my fur to stand up. It just has to be him wanting to see me get frightened. As if. This cat doesn’t do scared. I’ll show that pig. I’m not going to say a word.
Who could ask for a better day? The first Sunday of August is always Friendship Day. Isn’t that a wonderful day to celebrate? What is better than friends – whether they come in the human form or the animal form. Friends are always there with us in good times and in bad times, to share special moments in our lives. Sometimes all it takes is just a smile, holding a hand, a hug or just an ear or shoulder to cry on.
Friendship Day should be celebrated by phone, in person or by reaching out in an email or blog. You don’t have to live next door to show someone how much you care. Express your friendship in some way today and show the ones that you love what they mean to you.
NOTE FROM PIGLOVE –
We here at Piglove would like to tell all of our friends here how much we love and appreciate them. You put up with our silliness, our sometimes seriousness (although it doesn’t happen often) and our whack-o ways. We started Piglove as an outlet to share memories of Bacon… a cute little miniature pot bellied pig. You have helped me to personally grow and do something that I love, to write and make people laugh. I would like to take this time on Friendship Day and tell each and everyone of you – Thank You for being our friends. We cherish our times, our talks, our emails and phone calls. We cherish your ‘go with this’ attitude when we come up with something whacky and new. You can never imagine how much your friendship means to us. Here’s to another year of great posting, inter-action with our friends and much laughter – Bacon’s humans
But mom, Hemi started it. Honestly – dog’s honor. I was just sitting here on the ottoman minding my own business. I wasn’t running up/down the hall like an elephant. Nope. Wasn’t me.
Don’t let Hemi’s innocent face fool you. It was him. Heck, he was even ricocheting off of the walls and furniture.
Go ahead. Call in CSI so they can take paw prints. They won’t be mine…. how could I do that? Innocent

Of all of the important holidays I can tell you about, today seems to be the most important in my book. It is International Day of Friendship. The world is filled with too much hate, too many wars, too much prejudice and way too many disagreements. Today, we should put all of that aside and reach out to each other and say, “Hello friend happy friendship day!”
This is just not a backyard problem or a school playground problem. This is a worldwide problem. A problem that needs to come to an end. Everyone has differences – we wouldn’t be individuals if we didn’t. But when you look down to it, we all want to be happy and what better way than to get along.
Today let’s make friends with different people, different cultures and different countries. Extend your hand – or an olive branch – and say hello friend. Say hello to your neighbor, to the stranger at the market and say hello to a person that you see everyday but you don’t even know their name. Today is the day to make a friend near and far.
To all of our friends, we at the Hotel Thompson would like to say thank you for being our friend – happy friendship day. And to those that don’t know us yet, Happy Friendship Day. May we get to know you better today and in the future!

July 22 is National Parents Day. Everyone has a parent – 🙂 Today is a special day to honor your mother and father – biological or adopted. I know Bacon appreciates the time he spent with his biological mother and father. If it wasn’t for them, he wouldn’t have the great parents he has today. Bacon’s biological parents wished nothing but the best for him and I think he has it here at the Hotel Thompson with his human mom/dad.
All of us are all very lucky to have mom/dad here at the Hotel Thompson. There’s so much love!
Today, National Parents Day, brings the real meaning of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Spend some time with your parents doing something fun and most important showing them how much they are loved and appreciated.
This post goes out to my brother Hemingway – Hemi for short. He is a lot of things here at the Hotel Thompson.
He is my brother.
He is my friend.
He is the master cat.
He is mom/dads oldest.
I talk about him a lot here on my blog. Mostly about him using his ginormous paw to slap me on the rump – snorts. But really, today is his birthday. Today he turns the big 14 years young. Happy birthday Hemi.
And just remember Hemi, with your age – snorts –
you might want to cut back on spanking this oinker.

.June 8th. is Best Friend Day . This is a great day to express to your friends how much you really appreciate them and cherish their friendship. Of course, we need to do this year round but today is a special day to share your appreciation and honor your friends.
Best friends are great people. You can spend countless hours with them doing all kinds of things and sometimes just doing nothing at all. Whether you are talking up a storm on the telephone lines or just sitting in a room together watching a movie without talking, friends are great companions. You share everything with your best friend – from your secrets, your goals in life, your desire to endless achievements and your disappointments in life.
So today – go celebrate Best Friend Day. Call up your bestie and spend some time, give them a small gift or hug, call an old friend you haven’t heard from in a while and if you don’t have a best friend – go find one today!
This squirrel is very fortunate to have so many friends here on this blog as well as at the Hotel Thompson. Huge thanks to all of my friends here – Ya’ll are the best of friends!
Hello friends of the Hotel Thompson. This is Sherlock Bones reporting in from Chicago, Illinois. Do you remember who I am? I am Bacon, Houdini’s and Hemi’s cousin (my mom is Bacon’s mom’s sister). WOW – that’s a lot to follow isn’t it? Well guess what? The gang’s mom/dad are not at the Hotel Thompson. The gang of anipals are at Nana’s for a couple of days. Why do you ask?
Because I have kidnapped them and they are magically here with me… and my two purr things – Poseidon and Marmalade. Trust me, we are all taking good care of the pawrents. We won’t let them get into too much trouble… but considering Bacon’s dad I think that asks for way too much, right? And we all know where Bacon’s dad will be. At any spectacular restaurant he can find – howls with laughter! So stay tuned next week. I’m sure there will be lots of details to spill.
What does one do on a cold and rainy day? Well us anipals here at the Hotel Thompson find warm spots and take a little shut eye. You see mom and me were on the sofa first listening to the rain outside the front window. It was peaceful so I shut my eyes. The next thing I knew, Hemi joined the party by sitting on mom’s legs. Bacon was sleeping in his room and dad was on the other sofa sleeping. It passed for rainy day time in the living room. Mom said she would have made a fire for all of us but she didn’t want to get up and wake us all up again. Do you have these kind of days too? Aren’t they the best? After a while, I think we finally moved to the bedroom for naptime together. It was a great lazy Sunday day afternoon after all 🙂
Now I leave you with Jokes from Daddy. I actually got him to record a new one for you today. Have fun!
