First off I want to say thank you to all of my friends. I don’t think I say that enough around these parts. Thank you. Thank you for listening to my rumbles and grumbles from all of us here at the Hotel Thompson. We all send you massive amounts of hogs and snout kisses, puppy kisses and kitty licks.
Now
CONTEST TIME!
I introduced mom’s new ride Hot Lips to you last week. Let’s play a game. Mom’s new car Hot Lips is a 2018 Toyota Prius Hybrid.
How many miles do you think mom can go on ONE tank of gas?
The person who gets closest without going over will get a little something from the Hotel Thompson. Remember, don’t go over on your estimate but get as close as you can.
I want to add this part to you – mom bought her new car on APRIL 17 and the dealership filled it with gas at that time. Mom has not filled it up herself. So here we are May 1 and it is still going on that one initial fill up by the dealership. So you might want to think about that in your guess. When mom actually fills up Hot Lips for the first time, she will take a picture of her odometer (which was 15 miles when she bought it) and share it with everyone to end the contest. Good luck my friends ❤
Happy Thanksgiving to the best friends we could ever have!
I hope your day is full of love, family and hugs. And let’s not forget food. All kinds of food! I found another funny for today. I hope it makes you chuckle just a bit.
I also wanted to take this minute to express what I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for my friends here in blogville. I’m thankful for my family. I’m thankful for a roof over my head and a soft bed to sleep in at night. I’m thankful for the food provided for me every day. I’m thankful for the love all the way.
I’m thankful for the shoulders I have to lean on and the laps I have to snuggle on. I’m thankful to my birth mother who gave me to my adopted mother.
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
And when I count my blessings, I count all of you twice!
Happy Thanksgiving my dear friends. My your day be full of food surrounded by family and friends.

Oh our dear friends – MERRY CHRISTMAS!! At this time, all of us here at the Hotel Thompson would like to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas holiday. May your day be surrounded by the love of your family and friends. We love you all and wish you all of the happiness in the world!
Dear Bacon – Now sometimes when people meet at the park they give hugs. Sometimes when dogs or cats meet at the park, they sniff butts. Hey, it’s what we do, right? Well we have had enough of the butt sniffing. A group of my friends have decided that hugs are the new hello in the dog world. Maybe you should join us in our new mission. Signed Hugs
Dear Hugs – That sounds like a game plan my new friends. I never got the butt sniffing thing for hello anyway. Heck, I’ve smelled what comes out of my dad’s butt. No way in this piggy world I want to sniff it to say hello. Carry on the great work and I’ll be doing my part for the cause in giving hugs not butt sniffs!
Dear Bacon – I have drawn the line. Mom always tells me I’m her little flower. Now she is trying to make me her little flower. Help. Signed Bud in Progress
Dear Bud in Progress – I know it seems weird and it is. But you gotta think on the other paw of this. If it makes your human happy and she is daunting on you and giving you snacks, does it really matter? You have found the pot at the end of the rainbow.
Dear Bacon – We are family. Our humans wanted a Christmas card this year showing our family. We said okay but we wanted to pose as we wanted to pose – no help from the humans. So what do you think? Do you think this screams We Are Family in our Christmas Card? Signed Family
Dear Family – Way to go my friends – Bravo! Bravo! That picture screams family, diversity, togetherness and being united as one. What more could you do? I have to ask – that picture “looks” like you all get along and are so close. Are you? Or was this a snap-this-picture-now-before-I-hurt-someone kind of picture? Cause I’m telling you, you are pulling it off. Great card – don’t forget to send me one here at the Hotel Thompson.

Dear Bacon – We are buddies and sometimes secret hero’s. Really, this is us clowning around during the night. But during the day, we are the Pig and the Hare Hero’s. We visit children’s hospitals and bring smiles to the faces we meet. We highly recommend it. Signed Hero’s at Large
Dear Hero’s at Large – OMP! You are certainly right my friends. You are HERO’s. Not all hero’s have to wear capes or have special talents. Although I have to admit that you do have special powers of bring smiles to the faces that need it most. Carry on my cute duo!
Dear Bacon – Can you believe this? There I was sitting back, relaxing and minding my own business. My human said that he needed socks and to get out of his drawer. What? First up human, mind who you are talking to and second, you should have thought about socks before you left your drawer open inviting me. I think you should go without socks today because I’m not moving. Move me or reach around me and you may be wearing a sock over your bandage. What bandage? They bandage from the boo-boo I will leave on your arm. Carry on now and be gone. Signed Sock Keeper
Dear Sock Keeper – You know you do have a great point there my friend. They should have thought about that when they left the drawer open. Snorts – don’t do anything I wouldn’t do in that drawer.
Remember my friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your pictures and questions to my email address.
Thanks my friends for attending our Renovation Reveal Party yesterday. We had so much fun!! We are all packed with food today and taking it easy.
I hope you enjoyed the day to day break down of all phases of the renovation and enjoyed the reveal as much as we did. Mom said today, her behinney will not move from her chaise. All of us are still resting from everything.
But we all wanted to send all of our friends here in blogville HUGE cyber hugs for coming to our virtual party and always be such wonderful friends. Have an awesome Saturday!!
Monday night I hit a milestone in my blog. Something that this little oinker thought he would never see.
My friends – this could not have happened without YOU! YOU read my ramblings. Listen to me. Participate with me. YOU make my day. My aim on my blog is just to make people laugh… maybe wee on themselves just a tiny bit. I want to bring happiness to your day. A little laughter. Something that takes away your sorrow and brings a smile to your face. Something that when you see a pig or hear a oink, you think of me… little ole Bacon from the Hotel Thompson.
Without YOU, none of this could happen. I want to bring your happiness but let me tell you my friends. YOU bring me happiness. YOU make me smile. YOU have taught me to overcome the obstacles and there is nothing that can hold this oinker back. If I can dream it, I can become it.
Thank YOU for being my friend and visiting my blog. I ❤ you ALL to the moon and back!

This is my friend Ernie. He is trying to get better from surgery that he had. He went outside into nature (shivers) and chased a squirrel that taunted him.
There was some mud involved and poor Ernie pulled something hurting his ACL.
Ernie ended up having some major surgery and will even have to go through doggy therapy for rehabilitation. His mom and dad are really taking good care of him and trying to nurse him back to his old self. He’s still having a really rough time at the Hotel Rountree though because dogs will be dogs and stitches will be stitches.
Ernie, I hope you start feeling better my fellow four legged friend. I have a couple of thoughts for you though before I go. Just thoughts from my little piggy perspective – take them in stride with a smile on my snout face.
(1) Quit chasing the women – make them come to you, you handsome fellow!
(2) Quit chasing those squirrels – they’re nuts!
(3) You’re in the Cone Head Club for a reason little fellow. Take it easy and let mom and dad take care of you.
(4) I know stitches itch, just ignore that. Go to your happy place and think of catching that squirrel. Just don’t pull on those things that trying to fix you up.
PIGGY HUGS TO A SPEEDY RECOVERY MY FRIENDS ** GET BETTER SOON ** LOVE TO YOU ALL!
This is another one of my friends called Hero who went to the vet and also became a member of the Cone Head Club. Poor fellow. They gotta have something a little bit better than that wrapped around your head my friend. I know if something itches, it’s doggy nature to want to scratch but you can’t. As my friend Ernie, you have to find a happy spot too. Imagine yourself laying next to the pool sunning yourself. Imagine yourself chasing balls. Imagine yourself hanging out in the Hotel Parker. Anything but scratching that itch.
You can do this my friend!
Hero’s sister Molly also had a doctors appointment. Bless her little heart. She’s 12 now and I understand that’s pretty old in doggy years. Sweets, hang in there. Mommy has really bad arthritis too and I feel you. There’s some days she can’t get up and moving either. I hope they find something for you that makes it so much better soon.
Hogs and Kisses my sweet friends in need. I hope you all get better so soon. I really need to speak to you on the webcam maybe about doing a special issue of my Dear Bacon column. If you’re up for the challenge, let me know. Love yous!
