Today, September 16th is Collect Rocks Day! This day is right up Bacon’s alley. You know because Bacon collects rocks. Not just any rocks but pet rocks.
Collect Rocks Day is a day to enjoy your pet rocks. Pet rocks are not just stones that sit there all day. They are individuals. They are pets. They have wonderful attitudes. And might I add – they are PROS at Hide and Go Seek. One time, Bashful hid in the fish tank and it took us almost three days to find him – that was fun! So you see, they also have a sense of humor.
It doesn’t matter what they look like. It doesn’t matter what economical background they come from. All that matters is the love and fun that is had with your rocks. Sounds like humans should take note of this huh?
So from all of the rock clan here at the Hotel Thompson – Happy Collect Rocks Day!

Oh and P.S. Don’t let Bacon’s mom fool you. She has a rock fetish too. She wants to collect her very own rock – as in this picture of Rock – chitter chatter – isn’t she funny!?

Jumping all around and squealing. Guess who came home yesterday. Go ahead – guess. Can you guess? Do you know? Do you want a hint? Go ahead guess. BASHFUL my international rolling stone. He’s been spending time with my buddy Speedy in the United Kingdom the past couple of months. He has told all of us some awesome stories of adventures he had with Speedy. They danced and boogied to the radio. Played in the garden together. Met some ponies and some girls ❤ And of course some things that happened in the United Kingdom – stays in the United Kingdom – snorts.
The mailman delivered a box to the steps of the Hotel Thompson and once we opened it, we found a booty of goodies. Bashful dressed like a pirate. Pirate coins, notebooks and a sleeping bag! Can you believe the goodies?!
And you know what? Bashful came home with a friend – cheers, screams and snorts. May we present to you Speedy Rock to the left. Awesome – spectacular – fun – amazing. Look at the resemblance to Speedy – all the way to the ears to the bushy tail. OMP (oh my pig!) We were snorting with delight here.
And the gals – Princess Coralena, Virginia, Rockelle and Koishi were falling all over him and his accent… or was it his eye patch? I think they are all in ❤ and hey – what’s there not to be in love with, right?
Thanks Speedy for showing my tyke a most excellent adventure. And I guess that brings up the next question. Just where in the world will Bashful show up next? And to those that have signed up on the list to host Bashful, don’t give up. We are slowly working down the list. It might take a while, but it will get to you.
Today my new friend here is highlighting 7 weeks of weird in “Weirdest things you collect”.
This is a really easy week. It really is. I think most of my friends here know that I collect a really weird item. What? You don’t know? Sure you do. I collect pet rocks. 🙂 You think that’s weird enough?
You know that it all started with my first pet rock Bashful. He was a gift. He’s my little international rolling stone and travels around the world visiting my friends and having fun. He looks so innocent and has an innocent name but don’t let that fool you. He’s quite the ladies rock – snorts. Every time he goes somewhere, he always brings home a friend.
His friends include Princess Coralena from Hawaii, Manny from France, Rockelle from Australia, Virginia from Virginia, Benedict Cumberock from the United Kingdom and Koishi from Japan.
We had a wonderful LONG weekend here with the rock clan. We all got together and had a Bon Voyage party for Bashful. He is now off again to parts unknown. Where or where will that little rock of mine roll up to next?
Could it be here? Could it be there? In the states or across the pond? On the other side of the world? I’m not telling. Nope. I’m keeping a secret. There’s nothing you can do to make me talk. Nope. Not at all. My piggy lips are sealed. Only two other people know.. well maybe three. Mommy, the nice Mr. Postman guy and the host family. And none of them are talking either. Anyone want to take a guess?
Soon…. we shall know hopefully soon.

And you should have seen all of the girls here crying over Bashful. Princess Coralena, Virginia, Rockelle and Koishi. I’m not sure which one was crying the most!

UPDATE: Mom always sends off Bashful at the post office closest to her worky place. I want you to know that the staff there now truly knows that mom is certifiable and should be wearing a white jacket that buttons in the back. They have been inquiring about the boxes that she sends off. She told them today what was actually in the boxes. You should have seen the looks on their faces – PRICELESS. I mean truly PRICELESS. The response of, “You have a what that you do what with?” and “Girl, you need a hobby.”
These were said in fun and mom just laughed it all off smiling. Then she threw in the icing on the cake. She told them that the rock wasn’t actually hers, it was mine… a pig. Oh dear piggy heavens. Daddy laughed and said he was surprised that they didn’t pick up the phone right there and then.
But it’s not weird. My pet rock travels. He’s good at it and has a lot of great and giving friends that like to host him and show him a good time. Shakes piggy head. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Do you? Snorts.
Oh piggy heavens! Bashful has made it home from Auntie Sharon in Australia! He came in the mail and of course daddy would not let me open it until mom got home last night from the worky place. It was a funny thing too. It sounded like there was a party going on in that box. In fact, this song was playing.
Snorticles. It was constant. I kind of got used to it and was dancing and singing that catchy little tune myself. When mom came home, I FINALLY got to open the box. Bashful brought home a friend. May I present to you Koishi. Koishi in Japanese means pebble. Here is the Japanese writing for it: 小石 Cool huh? That Koishi is a looker – so pretty and beautiful in her kimono. I know that Princess Coralena, Virginia and Rockelle were all in awe over her outfit. There is a slight language barrier but I think we can get the meaning to a lot of things she is trying to say.
The first thing she wrote was 私は恥ずかしがり屋の愛 which in Japanese language is Watashi wa hazukashi gari-ya no ai. Do you know what that means? I got out my piggy translator and looked it up. It says, “I love Bashful”. Isn’t that the sweetest? That rock of mine certainly has the “IT” factor in picking up the ladies doesn’t he?
All of the rock clans and I stayed up late last night talking and catching up on everything that has been going on here at the Hotel Thompson. It was a late night into the morning but that was okay. It was a stormy night here last night with thunder and lightening. For a while, we lost power and everything was dark. That’s okay though. Koishi settled right beside Bashful and finally fell asleep in his arms. It was adorable!
You gotta see some of the other items that came home with Bashful from Auntie Sharon. First up, this adorable cute little keychain. OMP (Oh m pig!) Mommy fell IN LOVE with this keychain. That soup in the bowl looks so real – like it’s going to pour out at any minute. Isn’t is to die for?!
It’s so cute. We had to put it on display in our curio cabinet. We don’t want anything to happen to it!
Then, there was this headband. Daddy had a FIT about it. He immediately had to take it out of the package and put it on. Snorts – it was too funny. I’ll have to post about that situation next week. When I tell you that daddy of mine is two scoops past crazy – I am not joking. But I do have to give him this. The man has skills. Skills of stupidity but skills. It’s okay though. Mommy took the headband and wrapped it back up to put in our showcase. We don’t want anything to happen to it.
Also in the box were these cute little girls – I think they were made of wood. Help me out Auntie Sharon if I’m wrong. They were adorable! I think perhaps they may look innocent and sweet but I think they were the ones starting up the party in the box with I Think I’m Turning Japanese. Really, snorts, I do.
Of course, mommy put them in the curio cabinet as well. They are too adorable and look so cute in the cabinet with the keychain and headband.
And do you know what else Auntie Sharon found and sent to mom? Minnie Mouse boxes – OMP (oh my pig). I haven’t heard mom squeal that loud in a long time. These two little boxes sit inside of each other. They are precious! Mommy was overly thrilled with them.
We can’t thank you enough Auntie Sharon for hosting Bashful and the wonderful gifts. I really hope that Koishi will be happy here at the Hotel Thompson. I hope I translated this correctly:
