Where has the movie been all of my piggy life? I found this movie, 3 Pigs and a Baby, on Netflix last night. It was released in March of 2008 and I *just* found it. Okay, I’ll give you that. I wasn’t born in 2008 but still. Any movie about pigs, that seems to be right up my alley, don’t you think?
For movie night last night, we all watched this movie and I have to say it was hilarious! I’m not sure who laughed the hardest, me, mom, dad, Hemi or Houdini. Have you seen this?! I give it five out of five snorts. It keeps you on your hooves with laughs, turns and twists.
The movie starts with part of the ending and then tweaks back to how it got to this point. You are asking what point? Well in the opening shot, the 3 little pigs are all tied together, hanging upside down over a boiling pot of water in the wolve warehouse. That’s a scary way to start the movie huh?
Then the story flashes back to what got the 3 little pigs to this situation. It goes through the original story.
The big bad wolf goes to Sandy Pig’s house made of hay. He tells Sandy Pig to open the door. Sandy Pig says not by the hair on his chinny chin-chin. The big wolf then huffs and puffs and blows the house down. Sandy Pig then runs to his brother Richard Pig’s house.
The big bad wolf then goes to Richard Pig’s house made out of sticks. He tells Richard Pig to open the door. Richard Pig says not by the hair on his chinny chin-chin. The big wolf then huffs and puffs and blows the house down. Richard Pig and Sandy Pig then run to their brother Mason Pig’s house.
The big bad wolf then goes to Mason Pig’s house made out of bricks. He tells Mason Pig to open the door. Mason Pig says not by the hair on his chinny chin-chin. The big wolf then huffs and puffs and blows the house down. But wait a minute, he can’t because the house is made of bricks. The big bad wolf is determined to get inside of the house of bricks so he climbs up to the chimney. His plan is to go down the chimney and thus he will be inside of the brick house. In the meantime, the 3 little pigs build a fire. Well, you can guess what happens. That big bad wolf won’t be huffing and puffing anymore – snorts.
But, that’s when the story takes a huge left turn and becomes a snort of a completely different movie. In fact, this movie has more twists and turns than a roadtrip in the mountains. Those big bad wolves are not giving up in getting those oinkers. They plan on infiltrating into the house of bricks by leaving a baby wolf in a basket at the doorstep in hopes that Mason, Richard and Sandy Pig adopt him. After some convincing, the 3 pigs adopt little “Lucky” as their own. Lucky has no clue that he’s a pig, he just knows he’s different.
Lucky goes to school at Pigville Academy and all is fine until he begins to be a teenager. Then he finds out he’s adopted – snorts. He learns that he is a wolf raised as a pig and he was adopted by Mason, Richard and Sandy Pig. Uh-oh Houston we have a problem.
Lucky runs away and finds the big bad wolves. They convince him, “To be a wolf , you have to be head to toe in fur, claws, and a… meat eater of gulp – PIG.” Oh no… this is not going to end well. They convince him that he needs to hide the key to the brick house under the mat on the harvest moon so they can take care of things… things that are a secret that they can’t talk about. Lucky agrees – thud piggy down! And later the big bad wolves convince Lucky that there will be a surprise party for his dads so he has to leave the key under the mat.
The Harvest moon comes and by this time, Richard and Sandy Pig have re-built their homes and moved out of Mason’s brick home. Mason and Lucky get into an argument and Lucky rides off on his motorcycle but not until after putting the key under the mat. And the Harvest Moon – it’s a sign for the big bad wolves to start their hunting season. So here we go again.
The wolves go to Sandy Pig’s house made of hay. They tells Sandy Pig to open the door. Sandy Pig says not by the hair on his chinny chin-chin. The wolves huff and puff and blows the house down. Sandy Pig then runs to his brother Richard Pig’s house.
The wolves then go to Richard Pig’s house made out of sticks. They tell Richard Pig to open the door. Richard Pig says not by the hair on his chinny chin-chin. The wolves then huff and puff and blows the house down. Richard Pig and Sandy Pig then run to their brother Mason Pig’s house.
The wolves then go to Mason Pig’s house made out of bricks. They tell Mason Pig to open the door. Mason Pig says not by the hair on his chinny chin-chin. The wolves then huff and puff and blows the house down. But wait a minute, he can’t because the house is made of bricks. But wait a minute, why huff and puff when you can just use the key under the mat to get into the house.
So here we are, right back to where the movie started. The 3 little pigs are tied up and hanging over a huge pot of boiling water. This is when the pigs find out that Lucky was planted in their home to get the pigs eventually in time.
At the last minute before the 3 little pigs are dunked into the hot boiling water, Lucky comes flying through the warehouse window on his motorcycle and saves his three dad’s. Of course the wolves aren’t happy about this and they take after the 3 little pigs who are headed to the brick house. A fight of sorts begins and things go a little hectic until Lucky makes a big speech.
After Lucky’s speech, the Pig Wolf Pact is signed dedicating pigs and wolves to a life of peace, love and understanding from here on out. And Lucky, he was lucky. Not only did he get three fathers with the 3 little pigs, he also got the adopted family of the wolves. All is good again in Pigville.
What a sweet and wonderful movie. I must buy this for my collection so that I can watch it over and over. It touched my little piggy heart and made me smile and snort. You gotta watch this movie!
You know, normally this day would not bother me. BUT, thanks to daddy I’m a nervous wreck this morning. For some odd reason, mommy gave him control of the television remote last night thus he picked movie night. He picked – you got it – Friday the 13th. Mommy tried to warn me that it wasn’t pig rated and I should go to my room and watch my television. I didn’t listen because I’m a big pig. Why didn’t I listen?? After the movie, which I might add is oh so scary!, dad gently reminded me that today is Friday the 13th. Gee dad, thanks so much for that wonderful and so caring reminder.
Today’s not scary. It’s just a date, right. Repeat after me. It’s just a number. Numbers are not scary. Numbers are our friends. Right? I’m trying to convince myself you that there is nothing wrong with today being that evil Friday the 13th. Really… it’s just a date.
There’s lots of Fridays in the month. There’s a 13th in every month. It happens every month. So what’s the big deal? Who am I trying to convince? Today is a scary day. It’s Friday the 13th! I’ve watched the movie and what has been watched can not be unwatched.
And dad, he is milking this day for all of what it is worth. He is SO not helping. I know you are just paying me back for all of the times that I have ‘barked’ and oinked at you. For all of the times that I wouldn’t share mommy with you. I know pay back is bad.
But really, I woke up to this mask hanging on my bedroom door. Are you trying to give this little pig a heart attack so early in the morning? You knew I was already flipping out with the date and the movie. Bad daddy – bad!
Then daddy, if you really are my daddy – snorts, you fixed me breakfast this morning. I should have known you were up to no good by doing that. You never fix me breakfast – always mommy. And everyone, you’re probably thinking that was real sweet of ole dad doing that, right? Until he called me for breakfast. “Jason, your breakfast is ready.” Really? You’ve gone just too far with that one dad of mine.
And then dad said to mom, “Hey, let’s go to Camp Crystal Lake this weekend?” Thud – piggy down. Dad, I will pay you back with this date. Really, I will.
Today, we have a really special tribute. Today is Friday the 13th – cue scary music! Do you know that there is only ONE Friday the 13th in the entire 2014 calendar year? That makes this day extra spooky and scary.
Do you have a fear of this day? Are you superstitious? Here in the United States it is thought that bad luck falls upon you on Friday the 13th. But did you know that in Spanish speaking countries, Tuesday the 13th is a superstitious day for them and considered bad luck.
Many hotels and tall buildings even skip the 13th floor… just in case of bad luck. It’s also bad luck to have a party with 13 people… have you read Agatha Christie’s book Thirteen at Dinner?
Did you know that fear of the number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia while fear of Friday the 13th is known as paraskavedekatriaphobia.
Did you know that President Franklin D. Roosevelt suffered from triskaidekaphobia? He wouldn’t travel on the 13th day of any month and don’t even think about having a party with 13 guests.
Some people even think that Friday the 13th goes back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Supposedly they think that Eve offered Adam the forbidden fruit on a Friday and they were then cast out of Paradise.
And think about the movie marathon we are going to have tonight here at the Hotel Thompson. Not listed in any particular order but you know we are going to be watching some gory horror flicks to include: Nightmare on Elm Street, Paranormal Activity, Saw, Psycho, The Shining , It and of course Friday the 13th.
I’m off now. I’ve got to go cross my hooves. Avoid some black cats. Not look at the moon through a pane of glass and throw some salt over each shoulder. Be careful my friends 🙂
Have you been on the edge of your seat waiting for the finish? If you missed the first part of my breakdown, check out my Friday posting. 🙂
Here we go –
So Gordy, Hanky and his family fly to Branson, Missouri to help out Cousin Jake, Luke and Jinni Sue. They are so in awe to see welcome signs all over for Gordy being there in Branson. They go to the country music concert where they meet all kinds of famous country singers – Mickey Gilley, Boxcar Willie, Christy Lane and Roy Clark. There’s even a surprise speech from President Bill Clinton who unveils a new stamp in honor of Gordy.
Hanky talks about how Gordy wants to find his family and they give out a number to call if you have any information. While all of this is taking place, Sipes sends his henchman out to kidnap Gordy and kill him – squeal! But what the henchman didn’t see was that Cousin Jake saw them and follows them. The henchman goes over a bridge and throws Gordy off! Can you believe that?! I was sitting on the edge of the sofa with mommy. But never fear, Cousin Jake got lost and was under the bridge. Guess who he caught? Yep, you’re right – GORDY!
Cousin Jake takes him back to the music hall and the henchman tells Sipes he’s done the deed. When Cousin Jake gets back to the music hall, he tells Hanky, Luke Jinnie Sue and Jessica what happened. A battle ensues between Luke and Sipes and Jessica knocks out Sipes with a briefcase.
Someone calls the music hall and tells them that Gordy’s parents are going to be slaughtered at an unidentified slaughterhouse in Nebraska. Jessica, Hanky, Jinnie Sue and Luke then find out that the slaughterhouse is one that Royce Industries actually owns! They jump in the limousine with Cousin Jake driving and off they go.
Hanky keeps calling the slaughterhouse and finally gets the right number from the Royce Industries attorney. Hanky tells the supervisor to shut down just in time. They arrive at the slaughterhouse and not only do they rescue mom and the siblings but also dad. Gordy is a hero!
In the last shots of the movie, you see everybody back at Meadow Brook Farm. The farm is now sold and I know you want to know who bought it, right? Jessica and Luke! They got married and moved to the farm. Jinnie Sue and Hanky are now brother and sister and all of the pigs are back where they are suppose to be. Life is happy!
I apologize for the length of this posting. I got really carried away by another piggy movie – WOWSER!
Last night I got to watch a new movie that has been in my Netflix que called Gordy. OMP (oh my pig!) Have you seen this delightful and entertaining movie? It is wonderful! So full of fun, love and adventure. I highly recommend this if you haven’t see it. Pop you some corn, get a soda and get the family together for movie night – you won’t be sorry you did!
Gordy came out in 1995, is around 90 minutes long and takes place in Arkansas. The movie starts at Meadowbrook Farm which is for sale. It shows all kinds of anipals outside at the farm. I have to admit that I was little shocked to see pigs living outside.. in nature?! What? Don’t all pigs live the life I do? And there were cows, horses, goats, roosters and chickens among those pigs. WOW ! And the anipals were talking! It was awesome. We could hear everything they were saying. Just like when I talk here on my page and at the Hotel Thompson.
It gets a little sad at this point because there are humans at the farm to take the daddy piggy away to “up north”. The rooster goes and tells Gordy, one of the piglets, that they are taking his dad. Gordy runs back to the farm as the truck is pulling off. I have to admit that Gordy runs fast and stays with the truck just enough for his daddy to tell him that he’s head of the family now. Gordy promises to take care of his mom and siblings and the truck goes off. I admit it. Me and mommy cried at this part of the movie right there with Gordy. It was so very sad to see them taking daddy away.
Gordy goes back to the farm crying and he can’t find his mom or family. Gordy asks Dorothy the cow if she has seen his family and she says no. Gordy asks Wendy the chicken if she has seen his family and she says no but tells him to ask Richard. Gordy goes and asks Richard the rooster if he has seen his family. Richard tells Gordy that while he was chasing the truck that took his dad “up north”, another truck came and took his mom and siblings. What? Can this movie get any sadder from the start?
Gordy decides to go off to find his family. He walks a long way from the farm and it gets dark. He comes upon a church and crawls into a basket outside to sleep. Aaww. Unbeknownst to Gordy, the basket was for the less fortunate and a guy comes by, picks up the items and places them in his truck. It starts to rain and Gordy is asleep in the basket in the back of the truck.
In the next part of the movie, we are at Miss Kittys’ Saloon and Dance Hall where we see Gordy’s mom and his siblings. They are cold and hungry and are asking where is Gordy and their dad. A cute little girl, Jinni Sue, comes out and feeds them it looks like some lettuce. While she is feeding them, Jinni Sue’s dad comes out and says it’s time. Jenni and her dad then go inside the dance hall and sing. It was like heaven – that Jenni Sue has some voice on her. It was beautiful!
After she gets done singing, she goes back outside and the truck with Gordy’s mom and siblings are gone But there is truck in the parking lot that has Gordy. She takes Gordy and tells him that she is going to take care of him and she is now going to call him Pinky. (Snorts – she didn’t know his name yet). She sneaks him into her trailer and hides him from her dad. She puts pajamas on him and they say their prayers before going to sleep. When Jinni Sue’s dad comes in to say goodnight, the lights are out and Pinky – AKA Gordy – kisses dad. It’s hilarious! It certainly reminds me of something that I might do.
Jinnie Sue’s dad eventually finds out about Pinky and they adopt him. They then head to Fayetteville, Arkansas to sing at Huntington Estate. I think this is the home of the local mayor. While Jinnie Sue is not singing, she has Pinky on a leash and meets a little boy named Hanky. Hanky is there at the party with his mom and grandfather, who is head of Royce Industries in St. Louis. Grandpa Royce tells Hanky to ask his mom to dance but before he can, his mom’s fiance beats him to it. Hanky gets upset and walks away from the party going to the estate pool.
Jinnie Sue sees Hanky walk away and follows him with Pinky. Hanky is sitting on the diving board of the pool and they talk for a bit about how lonely Hanky is. When Hanky gets up to return back to the party, he falls into the pool. He can’t swim and neither can Jinni Sue! Jinni Sue runs off to get help and while she is gone, Pinky pushes a float into the pool and jumps in to safe Hanky. As Pinky is pushing Hanky to the side of the pool, everyone from the party comes to the pool and sees the amazing piglet saving Hanky. Cameras start flashing and this makes the news.
Afterwards, Jinnie Sue, Luke (Jinnie’s dad) and Pinky go to visit Hanky and his family. Jinnie Sue wants to give Pinky to Hanky as a pet since he gets lonely. The family accepts. The next day, Hanky, his mother (Jessica), Jessica’s fiance (Gilbert Sipes), Grandpa Royce and Pinky board a plane heading home to St. Louis. Once they are at the Royce International headquarters, they learn that a Hero Pig Fan Club has went nation wide on hero Pinky. Hanky shows Pinky around the office. That’s when Hanky learns that the pure of heart can understand animals. See, that’s why all of you my friends understand me – you are pure of heart! From that point on, Pinky tells Hanky that his name is Gordy and they understand each other completely.
Grandpa Royce is wanted a new image for the company. Gilbert Sipes is the PR person for the business – remember he is also Grandpa Royce’s daughters fiancee. Sipes wants Jessica to be the new image of the company. Grandpa Royce thinks that it should be Gordy – who is a hero. Grandpa Royce advises to take pictures, do a market campaign and let the consumers decide who should be the new image of Royce Industries.
The day comes for the filming and Gordy is under the clothes rack. He overhears Sipes telling the photographer to change the lense in the camera when he shoots Gordy. Gordy doesn’t understand this but tells Hanky. Well, Hanky switches the lenses back. The filming of Gordy then starts and you can see Gordy sporting rainwear, piglopedia, scubawear, piggy cola, hero pig – it’s so darling! Mommy – just don’t get any ideas okay.
Then then set up for the session with Jessica and they change lenses. Jessica then goes through all of the same poses. When it’s all over with, Sipes says that he doesn’t need to look at the film and to go ahead and send it out rush to market ASAP. He just *knows* that Jessica is going to win.
During this time, Jessica gets a postcard from Luke and Jinni Sue. Let’s just say she is smitten. She has that look in her eyes that mommy and daddy get when they look at each other. The next day, there’s a huge meeting at Royce Industries to announce who the winner is of the image campaign. They announce it was 100 to 1 on the results and that Gordy WINS. Sikes can’t believe it because you know – he did the lense switch. Then they show the film from Jessica and they see that she had the lense switch and all of her pictures look out of whack and fat. Sikes is livid. Gordy is signed to a lifetime contract and he is the new trademark for Royce Industries. Grandpa Royce then says that he will supervise Gordy’s publicity personally.
Gordy goes on to make the cover of Farm Journal and News Week. He even makes the talk shows and has a song about him that goes platinum!
But during all of this, Gordy has been talking to Hanky about his promise to his father. He has to find his mother and siblings who were taken ‘up north’. They make a plan to go to the park the next day and they are going to find mom and the siblings themselves. What they don’t know is that Sikes is putting together a plan to kidnap Gordy. Sikes wants Gordy out of the picture so that Jessica can take his place. This way, when they are married Sikes will be rich.
At the park, Gordy and Hanky are able to get on a school bus that is heading towards Kansas City, Kansas. Sikes incompetent henchmen, Dietz and Krugman, are following the bus in their limousine. What they don’t see is Gordy and Hanky escaping out of a window into a feed truck. Sikes calls the henchmen to find their status and they advise they have both Hanky and Gordy.
Hanky and Gordy get dropped off at a farm and they talk to a hog there. The hog tells them that there was a beautiful Yorkshire mom with babies that was at the Tri States Stockyard that got auctioned. They are now in transit ‘up north’. So there we see Hanky and Gordy off again walking down the side of a road. Who do you think passes the two? That’s right – Jinni Sue and Luke in their bus. They stop and pick them up. Can you believe the driver, Cousin Jake, understands Gordy as well? Then on the radio we hear that Henry Royce head of Royce Industries is sick in the hospital from having a heart attack at the age of 73. Oh no! Everyone is saddened by the news. Luke tells Hanky he has take him home.
They get Hanky back at Royce Industries just in time for the reading of Grandpa Royce’s will. That’s where we find that Jessica is not left the company – you see Sikes fuming. The holdings of the company is left to grandson Hanky when he comes of age. In the time being, the company goes to Gordy! Can you imagine that PIGLET CEO!
Gordy starts telling Hanky that they need to make changes in the items they produce. For instance, change from chemicals and go more from artificial to natural items. This takes off and Gordy is called a Wall Street Wonder! But still, he always has in the back of his mind that he need to go ‘up north’ to save his mom and siblings.
They get a call from Cousin Jake advising they are in Branson, Missouri. They can’t find anywhere to play because they are nobodies. They need someone famous to get them a job. They want to know if Gordy will come to Branson to vouch for them and in exchange they will make an appeal to find his family. Deal!
And this is where I’m going to end my friends.
Does mom get saved? Does dad get saved? Does the siblings get saved? What happens??
Oh this was a GREAT weekend. Mom and dad decided to have a Lake Placid movie marathon Saturday night. We didn’t go to bed until we saw all FOUR movies. Shivers – we got the popcorn and soda out. – it was great. They even let me stay up with them and watch them all. Have you seen these movies? They have a little bit of horror mixed with some good lines of comedy. They are a MUST see. Here’s a breakdown:
Movie #01 –
This is the beginning of the four movies that came out in 1999. It all starts in Lincoln County, Maine at Black Lake. What a nice pleasant sounding name huh? This movie stars Bill Pullman as Jack Wells, Bridget Fonda as Kelly Scott and Betty White as Delores Bickerman. Strange things are happening on the lake. Jack and Kelly start to investigate and they witness Delores blind folding a cow and feeding the cow to an enormous crocodile. After they confront Delores, she admits that the crocodile followed her husband home one day and they fed it. Years later, the crocodile ‘accidentally’ ate her husband. But instead of being upset, Delores kept feeding it treating it like it was one of her kids. And might I add, Delores has some of the best lines in this movie.
Towards the end of the movie, there was actually two crocodiles in the lake. One does die and in the last seen you see one surviving adult tied to the back of a flat bed truck speeding down the road towards Portland, Maine.
But don’t worry, in the last scenes you also see Delores feeding bread crumbs to several baby crocodiles leading us to believe that the two that were original had mated. YES! So this brings us to Movie #02.
Movie #02
Lake Place 2 came out in 2007. This movie starred John Schneider as Sheriff Riley and Sarah LaFleur as Emma Warner and Cloris Leachman as Sadie Bickerman (who is Delores’ sister from movie #01). It picks up from the first one. Delores has passed away and her sister Sadie is now living in the cabin near the water. A researcher has disappeared on the lake and the sheriff and Emma (from Wildlife and Game) are investigating. They get attacked early on by a 20 foot crocodile and here we go all over again.
But this time, there’s a twist. You see Sadie has been feeding the crocodiles now. Not just anything but with hormone enhanced meat and this is why they are so large. And the crocs have mated and everyone finds a large nest of giant eggs. Oh hog heavens – this one will keep you on the edge of your seat – trust me!
Movie #03
Lake Placid 3 came out in 2010. It still takes place on Black Lake in Maine. At this time Sadie Bickerman has passed away. Her son, Nathan, (played by Colin Ferguson) along with his wife Susan and their little boy Connor are at the cabin packing things up for sale. Conner starts chasing a lizard towards the lake where he sees baby crocodiles. Conner keeps the babies a secret and refers to them as ‘his pets’. He starts feeding them and they start growing really fast.
This movie also brings Reba (played by Yancy Butler) to the screen. I have to say that Reba really makes the movie. She is a poacher that doesn’t really follow the rules of the law. AND she has a mouth on her – let me tell you she can feel UP the swear jar here at the Hotel Thompson during this movie – snorts.
All I can say is towards the end of the movie, don’t move. Wait for it and you’ll see what I mean. Then this brings us to Movie #04.
Movie #04
Lake Placid: The Final Chapter came out in 2012. This brings back our friend Reba who was a poacher in Movie #03 but now is working as an EPA Agent. Not because she had a change of heart but rather it’s part of her judgement from being a poacher in movie #03 – snorts. The people in the town thought it would be a wonderful thing to build an electric fence around Black Lake and turn the lake into a crocodile sanctuary. Sounds all nice huh? NOT!
One night the fence gets left open and you know a field trip of kids are on the way to the other lake. But the driver is checking out his cell phone instead of watching the road and goes through the gate to Black Lake. So here we go – the kids are at the wrong lake and you know the crocodiles are going to come out and play – and they do!
Don’t let “The Final Chapter” fool you. Stay to the end again. I guess they can make a Lake Placid – Really The Final Chapter if they want to. Snorts – hope you check these movies out. They are really good. And I have to admit – me and mommy jumped maybe a half of a dozen times while watching these Saturday night. These are probably what you call b-rated movies that have played on the SyFy channel numerous times. It doesn’t matter – they were great to watch.
We have movie night here at the Hotel Thompson often. Every once in a while, I get to choose the movie. 🙂 It’s always a fun time when I get to because you just never know what I’m going to pick.
One week, I picked a scary movie. Of course, I hid behind mom on the sofa behind her back and only peeked with one eye opened at the television screen occasionally. Snorts. It’s what I do.
But the other day, I found the bestest of all movies. I don’t know how I’ve never seen this one before! It was great. It was wonderful. It was right up my alley. Nope, it wasn’t Charlotte’s Web or Babe – nothing like that.
So get out your popcorn and your soda and come back here tomorrow. I’m going to break down the movie for you. 🙂 It should be a blast!
You know, normally this day would not bother me. BUT, thanks to daddy I’m a nervous wreck this morning. For some odd reason, mommy gave him control of the television remote last night thus he picked movie night. He picked – you got it – Friday the 13th. Mommy tried to warn me that it wasn’t pig rated and I should go to my room and watch my television. I didn’t listen because I’m a big pig. Why didn’t I listen?? After the movie, which I might add is oh so scary!, dad gently reminded me that today is Friday the 13th. Gee dad, thanks so much for that wonderful and so caring reminder.
Today’s not scary. It’s just a date, right. Repeat after me. It’s just a number. Numbers are not scary. Numbers are our friends. Right? I’m trying to convince myself you that there is nothing wrong with today being that evil Friday the 13th. Really… it’s just a date.
There’s lots of Fridays in the month. There’s a 13th in every month. It happens every month. So what’s the big deal? Who am I trying to convince? Today is a scary day. It’s Friday the 13th! I’ve watched the movie and what has been watched can not be unwatched.
And dad, he is milking this day for all of what it is worth. He is SO not helping. I know you are just paying me back for all of the times that I have ‘barked’ and oinked at you. For all of the times that I wouldn’t share mommy with you. I know pay back is bad.
But really, I woke up to this mask hanging on my bedroom door. Are you trying to give this little pig a heart attack so early in the morning? You knew I was already flipping out with the date and the movie. Bad daddy – bad!
Then daddy, if you really are my daddy – snorts, you fixed me breakfast this morning. I should have known you were up to no good by doing that. You never fix me breakfast – always mommy. And everyone, you’re probably thinking that was real sweet of ole dad doing that, right? Until he called me for breakfast. “Jason, your breakfast is ready.” Really? You’ve gone just too far with that one dad of mine.
Dad got mom up for the worky place this morning. Can you believe that dad had the nerve to bring up sending me to piggy camp? What, my head went up fast. What did I hear? Why? I gave dad the one eyed slant glare. What was he up to? I’ve barely made the outside back yard and you have piggy camp in mind? Mom was hesitant as well. I’ve trained her. And then dad said where. Camp Crystal Lake – thud – piggy down. Dad, I will pay you back with this date. Really, I will.
Snort chuckles. Last night was movie night at the Hotel Thompson. Bashful picked Madagascar 2. We popped some popcorn, settled down on the sofa in the living room and the fun began. That is really an upbeat kind of movie. We were dancing and singing. It was a hoot! You have to love the animals -Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria. And don’t forget those penguins! PLOL
I remembered that I found some funnies that I wanted to share with everyone. I also – of course for your entertainment – left you the video so you can move it – move it – snort PLOL
Saturdays are the best days at the Hotel Thompson. Mom is off of the worky place and she is home. I follow her around the house like a little puppy dog just wagging my tail. I sit in the kitchen and watch her cook – that’s one of my favorite things. You ask why? I’m glad you asked. Because she throws me little pieces of food – whatever she is preparing. It can be crackers, croutons, vegetables, salad mix, fruit – whatever she is working with for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Also Saturdays mean Saturday night family movie night. We pick a movie, pop popcorn and watch the movie together. We all take turns picking a flick. And, I get to stay up as late as I want with mom. This is a special treat since usually my bedtime during the week is pretty routine.
Saturdays also mean chores. Sigh – even I have chores but at least mom helps so they go quickly. I have to help in cleaning my room and taking all of my laundry to the wash room. Afterwards, I have to help with folding which is kind of fun because well you know I have hooves not fingers. Snort – so usually I end up rolling around in the warm towels and mom laughs. I have to also help in picking up all of my
toys in the house and putting them in my piggy toy box. Then we steam mop my bedroom floor. I can’t help with that but I like to watch 🙂
Afterwards, it’s mommy piggy snuggle time on the sofa. I stretch out and mommy rubs my back and belly as she writes and answers mail until movie time.
I hope your Saturday is as fun as mine! XOXO – Bacon
Miniature pot bellied pig and friends - Bacon, Houdini, Hemi and all of the Rock Clan with Journalist Rocky the Squirrel all out looking for adventures from the Hotel Thompson.
But really, I woke up to this mask hanging on my bedroom door. Are you trying to give this little pig a heart attack so early in the morning? You knew I was already flipping out with the date and the movie. Bad daddy – bad!
his family and she says no. Gordy asks Wendy the chicken if she has seen his family and she says no but tells him to ask Richard. Gordy goes and asks Richard the rooster if he has seen his family. Richard tells Gordy that while he was chasing the truck that took his dad “up north”, another truck came and took his mom and siblings. What? Can this movie get any sadder from the start?
talk for a bit about how lonely Hanky is. When Hanky gets up to return back to the party, he falls into the pool. He can’t swim and neither can Jinni Sue! Jinni Sue runs off to get help and while she is gone, Pinky pushes a float into the pool and jumps in to safe Hanky. As Pinky is pushing Hanky to the side of the pool, everyone from the party comes to the pool and sees the amazing piglet saving Hanky. Cameras start flashing and this makes the news.
Gordy starts telling Hanky that they need to make changes in the items they produce. For instance, change from chemicals and go more from artificial to natural items. This takes off and Gordy is called a Wall Street Wonder! But still, he always has in the back of his mind that he need to go ‘up north’ to save his mom and siblings.
night here at the Hotel Thompson often. Every once in a while, I get to choose the movie. 🙂 It’s always a fun time when I get to because you just never know what I’m going to pick.
Dad got mom up for the worky place this morning. Can you believe that dad had the nerve to bring up sending me to piggy camp? What, my head went up fast. What did I hear? Why? I gave dad the one eyed slant glare. What was he up to? I’ve barely made the outside back yard and you have piggy camp in mind? Mom was hesitant as well. I’ve trained her. And then dad said where. Camp Crystal Lake – thud – piggy down. Dad, I will pay you back with this date. Really, I will.
