Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States. On this day, which occurs every year on the last Monday of May, we remember the men and women who have died while serving our country.
Many people on this day will visit cemeteries and memorials placing an American flag at graves to honor our fallen heroes. Let’s remember that appreciation is not only one day out of the year – it’s year round.
.
Thank you to all of those who have died while serving our great country! I think this picture says it all.
Dear Bacon – I’ve made a grave mistake here. I thought I could jump over the little seat thing that kids swing on… I really did. I jumped and mean old Mr. Gravity said, “Nope, not today”. I really hate that guy. So I guess you can say I’m stuck between a swing and hard place.. .namely the ground. Any suggestions cause apparently my human who thinks it is hilarious is too busy taking my picture to lend me a paw. Crazy human. Signed Swinger
Dear Swinger – You know that’s the problem these days. When anything happens, humans want to pull out their cell phones and take videos or pictures instead of lending a helping hand. I don’t get it? Burning car on the highway – no problems let me video tape it first before checking for survivors. House on fire – oh yeah this will be good on my Facebook before putting the fire out. Dog caught with his kibbles and bits up in the air – no worries. Let’s get this picture first before the pooch passes out or by all means gets unlatched himself. I definitely feel you my friend. Can you bounce up with your front paws to get your back paws back on the ground and then wiggle out from that contraption? Let me know if I need to call someone…. I’m hoping you are free like the wind now 🙂
Dear Bacon – I *know* I saw that darned squirrel on this tree. I know I did. He was running around on the ground taunting me. I know he’s here somewhere. If you see him, let me know okay. Signed Hunter
Dear Hunter – Oh my friend, I’ve seen him alright. He’s a sneaky sly little fellow. I would go as far as to say that he has skills of unnatural means. Put your paws down on the ground silently. Now just as silently and be careful of the crunch of the leaves, slowly walk around the trunk of that massive tree. Quiet now. You don’t want to scare the little fellow. You may find him around on the other side watching you… waiting for you to leave. Smart little guy huh? Enjoy playing tag my friend.
Dear Bacon – I don’t get it. I found this wonderful food on the ground. It’s awesome! So much chocolate. There I was sitting in my tree enjoying it. That’s when the weird stuff happened that I don’t get. My friends kept walking by and saying, “Georgia eat a Snickers bar. You know you’re not you when you’re hungry”. Shakes head in confusion. I don’t get it. Do you? Between you and me though, that Snickers bar did hit the spot. Signed George
Dear George – Snorts with piggy laughter. You don’t watch television much do you my friend? You see there were some wonderful Snickers commercials out some time ago that had the saying, “You’re not you when you’re hungry”. Okay, maybe the better thing to do here is to show you one of them…. one of my favorites. Then it will ALL make sense. Enjoy my friend.
Dear Bacon – I think the purr things here are pranking me. They said they had a surprise for me. They then told me I had to put my paws over my eyes and stay that way until they came back. That was three days ago. Do you think it’s save to go to the bathroom. I really, REALLY need to go now? Signed Waiting
Dear Waiting – Shakes head. Oh my friend. Don’t you know yet that purr things are horrific for doing such things to us? The two here try to do these things to me as well. But I don’t fall for it. You can never trust a purr thing – sorry my cat friends. But you know it’s true to. Ya’ll are beyond devious and you have so much training from years and years of taking care of yourselves. I bow down to you. I really do. So why don’t ya’ll do all of us a favor and leave us alone. And Waiting – by all means go to the potty before you explode like a balloon.
Dear Bacon – My humans are wickedly bad at this torture. They really are. There we were watching some superheros on our television. I was minding my own business and just enjoying the company on the couch. My dad said that all superheros need a mask. He was eating a sandwich so well you can see what he did. Why? That’s all I really need to say, right? Why? Signed Masked Bandit
Dear Masked Bandit – Oh my friend. You have to give your dad something on creativity. And you have to admit that it is pretty cute. No one would ever guess that’s you behind the bread. Nope not at all!
REMEMBER friends. Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your pictures and questions via email.
Thank you so very much my friends for following along with me the past six weeks as we have explored my dad’s possible superhero status. Christmas is only 96 days away – can you believe that? Since my dad loves his toys and wants to be a superhero like me, I’m going to buy him his costume for Christmas. I found these pictures of daddy wearing superhero masks on my mom’s iPhone. I’ve shared all six possibilities with you over the past six weeks. Now is the time for YOU to vote. Which superhero mask/costume will my daddy get for Christmas? Please share so we can get lots of votes my friends.
Okay friends – Christmas is coming up soon…for those counting 103 days – snorts. Well my daddy, he is special – we all know that. He loves his toys. Literally, the man ❤ toys. He and mom went to Wally World a couple of weeks back and the first place he goes is the toy section. What can I say. My father is a child at heart. When they came back home, I found these pictures on mom’s iPhone. OMP (Oh my pig) is all I can say… and maybe WOW.
My dad wants to be a superhero. Now I know where I get those feelings from… I’ve always wanted to be Super Pig. So I’m thinking that with Christmas coming up soon, I’m going to buy him a costume from me – his number one piggy son. That’s where I need your help my friends. In the next six weeks, I’m going to show you a picture that mommy took of daddy in the toy section. At the end of six weeks, YOU can vote who my daddy needs to be and what I get him for Christmas. Sounds fair to me, you?

If I had *any* doubts whatsoever, I have the proof now. See – see the proof is in the picture.
Mom *IS* a superhero. Daddy took this picture of us sleeping together and I just found the picture. I’m in there. You can’t see me but I’m there. I’m under her ‘cape’ with her staying warm and sleeping. We were actually taking a power nap as I like to call them. We were both dragging our tails from this past week. A little snuggle sleep time is great – I highly recommend it with your human 🙂
So I have to ask mom, “Where’s *my* super hero outfit?” It’s gotta be out there. Maybe I’m getting one from Santa this year? hhhmm – maybe I need to start my list today, right now, so that I can get it out before Thanksgiving. I’m excited now – my tail is wagging non-stop. Gotta run my friends. I’ve got some lists to make. What are you going to ask for from Santa this year?
