Who could ask for a better day? The first Sunday of August is always Friendship Day. Isn’t that a wonderful day to celebrate? What is better than friends – whether they come in the human form or the animal form. Friends are always there with us in good times and in bad times, to share special moments in our lives. Sometimes all it takes is just a smile, holding a hand, a hug or just an ear or shoulder to cry on.
Friendship Day should be celebrated by phone, in person or by reaching out in an email or blog. You don’t have to live next door to show someone how much you care. Express your friendship in some way today and show the ones that you love what they mean to you.
NOTE FROM PIGLOVE –
We here at Piglove would like to tell all of our friends here how much we love and appreciate them. You put up with our silliness, our sometimes seriousness (although it doesn’t happen often) and our whack-o ways. We started Piglove as an outlet to share memories of Bacon… a cute little miniature pot bellied pig. You have helped me to personally grow and do something that I love, to write and make people laugh. I would like to take this time on Friendship Day and tell each and everyone of you – Thank You for being our friends. We cherish our times, our talks, our emails and phone calls. We cherish your ‘go with this’ attitude when we come up with something whacky and new. You can never imagine how much your friendship means to us. Here’s to another year of great posting, inter-action with our friends and much laughter – Bacon’s humans

Of all of the important holidays I can tell you about, today seems to be the most important in my book. It is International Day of Friendship. The world is filled with too much hate, too many wars, too much prejudice and way too many disagreements. Today, we should put all of that aside and reach out to each other and say, “Hello friend happy friendship day!”
This is just not a backyard problem or a school playground problem. This is a worldwide problem. A problem that needs to come to an end. Everyone has differences – we wouldn’t be individuals if we didn’t. But when you look down to it, we all want to be happy and what better way than to get along.
Today let’s make friends with different people, different cultures and different countries. Extend your hand – or an olive branch – and say hello friend. Say hello to your neighbor, to the stranger at the market and say hello to a person that you see everyday but you don’t even know their name. Today is the day to make a friend near and far.
To all of our friends, we at the Hotel Thompson would like to say thank you for being our friend – happy friendship day. And to those that don’t know us yet, Happy Friendship Day. May we get to know you better today and in the future!

July 22 is National Parents Day. Everyone has a parent – 🙂 Today is a special day to honor your mother and father – biological or adopted. I know Bacon appreciates the time he spent with his biological mother and father. If it wasn’t for them, he wouldn’t have the great parents he has today. Bacon’s biological parents wished nothing but the best for him and I think he has it here at the Hotel Thompson with his human mom/dad.
All of us are all very lucky to have mom/dad here at the Hotel Thompson. There’s so much love!
Today, National Parents Day, brings the real meaning of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Spend some time with your parents doing something fun and most important showing them how much they are loved and appreciated.

Information has been received over the afternoon wire reports that the juvenile rolling stone has yet been caught again in another act of mischief. This time, the act took place in a local Toys R Us department store in McDonough, Georgia. Unlike the other two times, the juvenile rolling store was caught in a ‘toy’ buggy rolling down a store aisle singing Joan Jett’s famous song I Love Rock N Roll.
Authorities believe that this is the same juvenile rolling stone that was caught in May at a local Wal-mart store and then again in June at a local Target store. In both of these instances, the juvenile rolling stone was video taped riding a skateboard unlike the current sighting. When authorities were questioned as to thy they think it is the same juvenile stone and why, they replied, “It’s all in his itty bitty shaky eyes. He has the look of a rock gone bad.”
Authorities are also advising the public not to try and apprehend this juvenile delinquent rock by themselves but to please call your local police station. If you have any information on this juvenile rolling stone, please leave a comment here.
Information has been received over the wire reports this morning that the juvenile rolling stone has been caught in another act of random mischief. This time, the act took place in a local Target department store in the south. The juvenile rolling stone was caught on store security riding a tan in color skateboard down the sporting goods aisle. In one part of the video, you can actually see where the skateboard goes around a human wearing orange clogs and then runs into a display shaking his little pebble head from the impact.
One witness who wishes to remain anonymous, we’ll call him Mr. Smith, stated the juvenile rolling stone was acting like “he didn’t have a care in the world“. Mr. Smith stated he told him at one time to put the skateboard away so that he would not get hurt. The juvenile rolling stone stuck his tongue out and told the employee, “Make me”, before he took down another aisle riding the board. Mr. Smith followed him and inquired where his parents were. The juvenile rolling stone replied, “Papa was a rolling stone” before laughing hilariously.
This goes to show that the juvenile rolling stone is becoming more mischievous.
Last month, authorities reported that the juvenile rolling stone created havoc by riding a blue skateboard carelessly throughout the Walmart department store. He was observed skateboarding down aisles of the store in the toy department in between humans feet. He was even overheard shouting at the Walmart workers, “Whee, whee, whee!” and “Catch me if you can”.
Authorities have released a video from the security camera at Target of the juvenile rolling stone perpetrator showing his disturbance. Authorities are asking you not to approach the juvenile rolling stone in case he casts the first pebble. If you recognize this juvenile, please comment in the postings. All postings will be confidential.
Bashful – he’s a good pebble. He tries to stay out of trouble. Sometimes it works – sometimes not so much. Last night, we were playing hide and seek in the house. I can’t tell you how many times I walked by the table and saw this napkin. It never dawned on me one single time that the little fella would be underneath it sleeping.
The only thing that *finally* gave him away was that he had to go to the potty. If it wasn’t for that, he would still be under the napkin on the table hiding. And mom/dad, they weren’t much help. I think dad was actually the one that suggested that great hiding place. Where’s dad when *I* want to hide, huh? Perhaps I should hide dad’s remote control and see how he likes to hunt for things for hours at a time – snorts.
Just another fun night at the Hotel Thompson. How was your night?
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!
Friends – What a glorious day this is – Wiggle Your Toes Day! Think about it – whether you have paws, toes, hooves or whatever, sometimes it just feels good to spread those toes and wiggle them. Let those piggies loose (no offense Bacon).
Humans push their toes in shows or socks all day long. They are always in a rush and sometimes forget to slow down. Today, slow down! Take those toes out of their confinements, wiggle them and let them breathe for a while.
Toes, hooves or paws come in all different sizes and shapes. Have you wiggled your toes yet today?
