What were your first thoughts when you met your new parents?  When I met my Granny I thought: “I don’t know why, but I already Love you,” but when I met Grandpaw, I thought: “OMC… not another male person that probably doesn’t like me…and I kept distance for a while to see which way the wind would blown. 

What was the defining moment when you knew you were in your forever home?  The defining moment that I knew that I was in my furrever home was the day that Granny’s Angel left for Furryland and my two-feet brother said to Granny that it was allright for him that I could stay forever with Granny and Grandpaw, after he and his mother have found another house. That was so sweet of the little 5 year old boy and Granny was smiling between her tears…and so was I, because I knew that travelling time was over and I would be spoiled from head to toe…and heart to heart…

What has been your biggest “Oh no, now I’ve done it” moment so far in your home?   The ‘now-I’ve-done-it moment’…let me think…deeper…deeper… Yes, got it! I think that was the moment that I didn’t came home on time and that Granny and Grandpaw were very worried about me, because Granny saw all scenarios passing by in her head, while I was just around the corner. I have two blogs about the grounding that came after Grounded Selfie and maybe you like to read them here.

 Who do you have wrapped around your paws more – mom or dad – and why?  I knew from the beginning that I saw Granny that she was the one that I can twist around my little paws in no time. There is nothing that I can’t do, it is all okay…except of the night walks, she is very strictly on that one now…no more night walks, not even in the garden… but she gives me loves, when I ask for it, even if it is in the middle of the night, even Grandpaw is jealous of that. She gives me to eat and when I don’t want to eat something that comes furresh out of the can, she opens another can and asks me if I prefer that one. She lets me sleep on her lap for the entire evening, until I have enough of lying on it… She stands up for me, when someone says I am..well…a little to…what was the word, Shoko…volumunuous, or something…or when I am to scared, or whatever feelings are involved, she always helps me out on it and tells others that everyone is just like they are, or, look at yourself! …so I feel always safe around my Granny and to show her that, I follow her wherever she goes, like a doggie, but, to be honest, I only do that to please her…MOL 😀 I’m busy to wrap Grandpaw around my paws now and I have to say, it is working already 

What’s the biggest misconception that humans think about you?  The biggest misconception that humans think about me is, that outsiders don’t see me as a fully fledged member of the family. People that say ‘it is just a cat’ or ‘it is not a baby’, probably don’t understand the meaning of life. I am not an ‘it’, I am a living creature, like you. I have a soul, like you. I have a charakter, like you and I show you how I feel, but also how you feel. When you look outside the world, you don’t have to give a name to the tree, flower, bird, cat or whatever, just be aware of what you see or feel and you will see me as a furriend, or a baby. I like to be pamperd and you like to give it to me, so what’s wrong to see me as a baby? I even have furriends with a stroller and they love it! Well, I guess I made my point on this one…next question…

Hope you enjoyed meeting my friend – check back next week for another Spotlight edition!

 

Dear Bacon

I’m thinking about getting a job. I’m a happening pig. I watch a lot of television. I surf the net. I’m a great listener. I read Dear Abby. I think I would be great at a column myself. Can you see it – Dear Bacon? I could take over the world with an advice column.

But, I need lots of practice. So, start the questioning. I can give life advice from a pigs point of view. I’ll try not to ham it up. Snort.

 

Unbelievable

After mom fixed my breakfast this morning, she sat on the couch cuddling and rocking me.  We were listening to the pitter patter of the rain hitting the roof and windows.  It was putting us both in a sleepy state.  I’m not sure which one of us drifted off first, me or mom, but snoring from each other woke us both at the same time 🙂  I asked mom how often rain happens and she said not often enough. 

Then mom told me that she had to get ready for work.  I asked her why she had to go out in the wet stuff and she said that she had to because she had to keep me accustomed to my way of life.  My eyebrows went up and I snorted.  I asked her what she meant.

She then proceeded to tell me that not all piggies stayed inside, had their own room and lived in the luxuries that I had. 

You mean to tell me that there is actually pigs that ‘live’ outside all of the time?  In the drippy wet stuff living in nature?  I’m shocked.  I thought all piglets had their own room, their own bed, room service and turn down service at night?  Every piglet doesn’t have daily piggy massages?  I know – how shocking is that!  I was as surprised as you are right now. 

Then get this, she told me something even more alarming.  Did you know that some piglets get fed something mom called ‘slop’.  What in the world is this ‘slop’?  Heck, I get 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.  I don’t think you would consider my salads, omelets, fruits or vegetables would be ‘slop’.  Do you? 

This gives me a lot to think about today.  I guess I am a P.P. like my dad calls me.  You know what P.P. stands for, right?  Pampered Pig – 🙂
