Here is an interesting fact for you. Often I hear mom/dad go to bed and when they settle I always notice they are holding hands. I’ve often wondered about this and the reasoning behind it. I finally asked and they told me. They are lifetime otters. Really no joking.
Otters hold hands when they go to sleep so that they don’t drift away from each other. aaww – now isn’t that cute? Now I know why mom/dad hold hands when they sleep.
Dear Bacon – There. I’m ready for Winter. Bring it on Mother Nature. I’m ready to get rid of the heat and welcome the cooler weather. My scarf is ready and I’m waiting. Tap.tap.tap. That’s my paws tapping while I’m waiting. When is this winter suppose to get here pal? Signed Scarf Dog
Dear Scarf Dog – Oh my friend. I agree with you about weather. And you do look so very sharp in your scarf – you will be ready for it when Mother Nature decides to play nice. Now, we have had some cooler days and I can tell with my piggy senses that it’s coming. But winter is still a far piece away. Autumn will be here September 23. Winter is not officially here until December December 21. So we do have some time. But Autumn does bring cooler weather too. And this little oinker can’t wait! Until then, stay cool my friend.
Dear Bacon – Sometimes you just need a sleep buddy to hold on to to keep the nightmares away. It’s always better knowing someone is there for you. Do you have a sleep buddy? Signed Ginger Twins
Dear Ginger Twins – I think that’s a fabulous idea my friends. Mom and dad go to sleep holding hands. They say that otters do the same thing so they don’t float away from each other in the water. You see, lots of anipals do this and I do believe it’s a wonderful way to fall off to sleep knowing someone has your paw. Sometimes I sleep with mom/dad and get close to them. Other times, Houdini or Mouse Girl will bunk with me and lay real close.
Dear Bacon – It’s not bad enough that I have to wear the cone of shame. Oh no. I should have known something was up when my human dad wanted to hold me for a second. I could feel him doing something to my cone of shame but didn’t know what. That is until I met up with the mirror and saw his creation. Really dad? Perhaps I should get you a cone of shame? Signed Bat Cat
Dear Bat Cat – I have to admit it my friend but that cone of shame is priceless. How many other purr things do you know that can say their cone of shame was made just for them. I say wear it with pride and hey give your human daddy some slack. His creativity could make you ‘the cat’ of the neighborhood. Give it a test and see what I mean. Others will be so jealous!
Dear Bacon – Okay I let the humans sleep in on the weekend. I didn’t pounce on them and wake them up. I showed respect and refrained from barking my head off. But this is where I draw the line. It is now noon and my bowl is empty. I’m going to start wasting away soon without my food. Darn these paws. If I had fingers, I could get my own food out of the bag and refrigerator. Humans – WAKE UP. Signed Hungry Jack
Dear Hungry Jack – WOW – noon huh? That is total control on your part my friend. Perhaps pull the humans blankets off of them? They will wake up quickly with that. And this picture is priceless for them. Perhaps email or text it to their magical cell phones. They wake up pretty quick when those things ring too. Hope you get fed soon 🙂

REMEMBER friends. Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your pictures and questions via email.
Let’s start off this week on a great approach. Smile at a stranger, at a friend, over the table at breakfast or in passing on the street and make someone’s morning bright and cheerful. Let’s be grateful for this Monday morning and share our love.
As I was camping out on the sofa with mom this weekend watching television, I was also surfing the internet on my iPad. I came across some great and wonderful visuals on love. I hope you had a great weekend and these bring a smile to your face my friends. XOXO – Bacon
Isn’t this a lovely gesture?! It brought water to my eyes to think of the love of sea otters. If you can’t read it, it says, “Sea Otters hold hands while they sleep so they don’t drift apart from each other.”
I showed it to mom/dad and you know what they said? Daddy said that he and mom hold hands at night when they drift off to sleep. Isn’t that cute? He said that way they could dream pleasant things knowing the other one was there beside them. aaww – how sweet is that?!
Okay – this picture I just had to chuckle, snort and oink at because I thought it was so hilarious. Can you imagine saying this in a restaurant? HA – snort.
Mom especially loved this one – she has a special place in her heart for rabbits. You know she used to have some that were house trained – way before me coming to the Hotel Thompson.
This one is to show you that today should be about Peace, Love and Pigs – smile oink.
Remember to smile at people as you pass them. You *never* know when someone needs that smile to set their day in a better tone or to encourage them in their life.
And this one my friends is especially for you. I love you each and every one. Thank you so much for being my friend and encouraging me in my wicked ways of humor.
Hogs and Snout Kisses – Happy Monday – Bacon
