So, it’s not enough lately that Mother Nature has been flexing her power in the south. We heard this morning that rains are coming in tonight AND there could be tornado’s. WTP (what the pig) are you thinking Mother Nature!? It’s not enough that you torture us with cold weather, snow, ice, no electricity, AND earthquakes. Now you are going to throw tornado’s into the mix. Really?
Stomps piggy hooves. No more! This is so wrong on so many different levels. Let me remember the safety rules for tornado’s now…. okay that’s it. We go to the most centered place in the house with no windows – like a bathroom – and hide in the tub. Got it. Let’s see here. Two humans, two purr things and a piggy in a regular sized tub. Makes sense to me. Will we all fit. I don’t think so – shakes head. Darn. I guess those purr things can have the toilet. Snorts.
And guess what I’m picking for the movie tonight? I think it’s a great time to show The Wizard of Oz.
Dear Bacon,
Hey, I’m just trying to help out here around the house. The humans said I don’t pull my weight. That’s all I’m doing – trying to help out with the everyday chores. I thought I would help out with dinner. I’m sure it will taste like chicken – evil bark. Signed Chef Boy Ring Dog
Dear Chef Boy Ring Dog,
Step away from the stove my friend. Purr things are not made for eating. They are made for loving. Trust me, they do not taste like chicken. I’ve licked our purr things here at the Hotel Thompson. They taste nothing like chicken. Not even good. You don’t want any of that. Go find you some kibbles. Now that’s a meal.
Dear Bacon,
I know you have a lot of horsey friends. Can I be your friend to? I think we have some similar markings. I’m hoping that you can help me out with a problem I have. Am I a black horse with white spots or am I a white horse with black spots? Signed Confucius Spots
Dear Confucius Spots,
I would love to be your friend! I’m so touched that you asked. As for your problem. Does it really matter? All that *does* matter is that you know you are beautiful either way. I mean that from the heart – You are stunning – just stunning my new friend.
Dear Bacon,
What can I say, I’m a thrill seeker. Anything to get my heart pumping, I just LOVE to do. I know it drives Old McDonald over the edge here at the farm. I can’t help it though. Don’t you just love the excitement? Signed Evil Cowknivel
Dear Evil Cowknivel,
My friend, there is excitement and then there is excitement. Personally, I find it exciting just walking to the front room from my bedroom without getting the wrath of Hemi slapping my hind quarters. But, each to their own ways. Try not to give Old McDonald a heart attack in some of your activities. And heck, if you are going to take a risk, start charging admission so at least you can help the farm out. You know? Carry on my friend.
Dear Bacon,
I’m trying to ‘bulk’ up. My friends say I’m skinny and scrawny. Do you think it’s working? Signed Squirt
Dear Squirt,
Oh little guy, give it some time. You will grow into all of that fur. You don’t need to lift weights to do that. And tell your friends to quit bullying you. There is no room for bullying in this time and age – NONE WHATSOEVER. You are just fine the way you are.
Dear Bacon,
Who says that skateboarding is just for guys and the humans. If I want to burn the roads up, why can’t I? Everyone says it’s just a guy sport. Why? Who makes up these rules? Chicks rule – we should make up the rules, right? Signed Atonia Hawk
Dear Atonia Hawk,
I’m not arguing with that, really I’m not. I’ve seen my human mom do some amazing guy things. I say if you are good at, then practice makes perfect. Don’t take any flack – show them whatcha got my furry friend!
Go ahead – I know I’ve been saying it all morning here at the Hotel Thompson. I even woke mommy up to it. Then when mommy called nana, the first thing nana said was *it*. Go ahead – 🙂 snorts – say it!

YAY! We have two winners this week – way to go ya’ll!! I know these stumped ya’ll for a while but you worked through them. There will be another issue in the near future my friends! Thanks for playing – XOXO – Bacon
You know poor mom has been sick. She’s feeling much better now than what she did. She’s not exactly 100% but she’s getting better each day. She actually went back to work yesterday for the first time since early last week.
While she was at work, I was rumbling around and came across her prescription bottle. I thought it was humorous and I would share it. Daddy held it for me while I took the picture. We totally got a good chuckle over it. You?
Of course, leave it to my mommy to video tape something so personal – rolls piggy eyes. She finds me fascinating, can you tell? There I was minding my own business on the couch last night. I had positioned myself around mom and had my snout warmly snugged on her legs. There’s nothing like contact body heat. I was a warm piggy and so content.
Mom and dad were watching television and playing their respective iPads. Mom thought she heard a noise outside and told dad to mute the television. That’s when they heard it and the soft laughter began. They didn’t want to wake me up because mom – always with her camera – started video taping the situation.
Watch the video which mom has already blasted all over You Tube – thanks mom. Shakes piggy head, absolutely NO privacy here at the Hotel Thompson. You will see mom’s legs – ha back at you – how you feel now mommsy – Snort! Bottom right hand corner you will notice my snout. Make sure your volume is turned up. Hope this brings a laugh to your day my friends. Happy Friday! Hogs and Kisses – Bacon
