My Blog Anniversary!

 

Oh my friends.  Where does the time fly by so quickly?  Can you believe it’s been FOUR years since my first posting on October 9, 2011? One of my biggest accomplishments in this time – is meeting all of you my wonderful and cherished blogville friends from all over the world!  Your friendship means the world to this little oinker – it really does!  And what a great thing that my blog anniversary comes in my favorite month – during my 31 Days of Spook.

So I know this post isn’t about hauntings or spooks, things that go bump in the night or squeals, but is about you – my friends.  Thank YOU for all of your support, your friendship, your shoulders when I need them to cry on and for allowing me into your homes.  YOU mean the world to this little piggy.  Smooches!

 

 

My Sweet Nylablue

 In Honor of My Sweet Nylablue

  You may be gone but you are not forgotten.  I close my eyes and smile.  I dream of you running without pain or illness through the daisies chasing butterflies and looking so beautiful.  When I’m silent and still in my toddler bed with my Egyptian cotton sheet around me, I can almost hear your purrs in my ear – just like old times.  You were my first kitty girlfriend – my sweet purr thing – my snugglebug and you always will be the love of my life ❤  

I think of you now watching over all of us that are still here.  You touched my life in so many ways.  You showed us how to keep fighting for life and things you wanted.  You showed us love beyond what we could ever imagine.  I was privileged to have you in my life – your love was an added bonus that I will *NEVER* forget.  You will always be part of my heart.  

I pray for your mom and send her loads of hogs and snout kisses.  May she find some peace and remember that we all are here for her in her time of need.  

We love you Sherri-Ellen!

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon,
We just wanted you to see that you weren’t the only cute miniature.  Look at us – we rock this barn here at Old McDonald’s farm.  Signed Goat Twins

Dear Goat Twins,
OMP (oh my pig!)  You two are the most adorable things I’ve seen in some time.  How does your humans not just pick you up and squeeze you?  Rock on my friends.  Ya’ll are totally cute as buttons!

Dear Bacon,
I’ve heard you talk about wanting a cape.  I always wanted one too so I thought I would share with you what my humans did for me.  They took an old sheet, cut it and tied it around my neck – there you go – instant cape.  I highly recommend it.  They made me two so when one is dirty I will always have a back up.  You gotta try it.  Signed Puppy Power

Dear Puppy Power
That is totally awesome!!  I doesn’t require any sewing – snorts – so I think mommy can do that for me.  I’ve gotta show this to her and see what she can do.  Thank you so much for sharing this with me.  I feel a cape coming my way very soon!  Piggy power!

Dear Bacon,
I was on my walk the other day in the neighborhood minding my own business when I came across such a weird animal.  I’m not sure what it was.  It hopped and made little sounds.  We got nose to nose.  Do you know what this thing was?  Signed Boo

Dear Boo,
It’s a rabbit!  Look at those ears and that adorable little cotton tail.  WOW – I have rabbits in my magical backyard but nothing like that fancy one.  So cute!

Dear Bacon,
It’s not what you think.  That pesky cat in the house dared me to stand upside down and then bet me I couldn’t put my paw in my mouth.  What I didn’t know at the time was that he had a camera and took my picture. Shakes my head.  I fall for it every time.  Suggestions?  Signed Pupbusted

Dear Pupbusted,
Give me a second to get myself together… snorts.  That sounds like something the purr things here would do to me – and have tried.  Sometimes you need to know when to walk away from a scam.  Hopefully, this is as far as the picture goes.  I would recommend finding it on the camera and deleting it.  You wouldn’t want it to show up on this years Christmas cards – snorts.

Dear Bacon,
I’m a wild hog.  I live outside on my own.  I gather my own food.  I take care of myself.  This is a very rare picture of me in my freedom.  You ever thought about becoming a man pig?  I would teach you the ways of living like a real pig.  Signed Pumbaa

Dear Pumbaa
Shivers.  Why would I want to do that my friend?  I do appreciate the offer but even *I* know that I have it made here at the Hotel Thompson.  I’ve kind of grown accustomed to my bedroom, my toddler bed, my television, my laptop and room service.  Why would I want to live in the wild?  But hey, we all have different goals in life.  Mine is to stay spoiled treasured here with my human mommy.  You rock it though and take care of you!

I’m Not Big – I’m Fun Size

Lot’s of people make comments that they think I’m big.  I’m not big.  I’m just fun size.  As you can see from this picture, I’m not that much bigger than my purr brother Hemi.  Mom refers to my size as that of a small dog.  I’m still manageable.  I only weigh 35 pounds.  That’s small compared to full size piggies – they can get way over 200 pounds!   As long as I can still jump and snuggle in mom’s arms, I’m never too big.  I still do this often.  I get all warm and cozy.  She pets my back and snuggles with me.  She tells me how much she loves me.  I’m 1 but I still like to have reassuarnce from my mommy.  How could you say no to this cute little face? 

So you see, compared in size, I’m still a cute little piglet. What do you think?
