Happy Dance – Happy Dance

Guess who my mom/dad talked to this morning – go ahead guess.  I bet you can’t guess.. can you?  Do you know?

They got to talk to my brother Easy’s  parents across the pond.  So cool!  They absolutely LOVED it.  This isn’t the first time they have spoken but it’s like its the first time every time – why?  Because they are so cool!  We just love it!  But hey – now that I think of – why didn’t *I* get a chance to snort at Easy?  Why were mom/dad hogging the phone?  Bad mom/dad.  I think ya’ll should go to your room for some punishment.  Yeah that’s it.  Time off for you two.  Don’t worry.  I’ll be in charge of the other anipals.  Snorts with evil piggy laughter.

Hope everyone has an awesome Saturday – piggy out!

 

Squeals – Guess Who Called!

So there we were this past Saturday all of us bundled in the living room watching the clock intensely.  We were expecting a long distance call from someone here in blogville.  Someone that we have talked to verbally by type, sent packages to back/forth and even talked to them on Facebook.  But we had never talked in person via the phone.  Emails were sent back and forth and the magical time was set for 2:30 pm our time which would make it 8:30 pm their time.  That’s right, they are SIX hours ahead of us.

Then it happened.  The phone rang.  We all jumped of course because we were concentrating on the phone and clock.  Mom answered the phone and put it on speaker.

Mom – “Hello”

Friend in blogville – “Hello is this the Hotel Thompson?”

Score – jumps for joy.  It is our friend and not a solicitor or robo call – snorts.  I know – I know.  You’re asking who was the caller.  It was – are you ready for this – my brother Easy from France!  We were ALL so excited.  We got to talk to Easy’s dad and had such a blast!  Mom was so excited that she got to talk to a real Frenchman – hubba hubba.  It was an awesome time full of fact changing and getting to know each other and ask questions that we’ve always wanted to.  And talk about accents.  WOW!  It was great.

One never knows who might reach out from across the telephone lines in the future.  Thanks Easy for calling this oinker.  We had the best of time!  I know it’s greedy to say but we can’t wait to do it again!

 

Oh Bashful – I Have a Surprise For You

 

For those that do not know, I have a pet 🙂 His name is Bashful and he is my pet rock. He’s a great little tyke, does a lot of field trips and catches on fast. Believe it or not, he can be a little handful at times. He talks a million miles a minute, gets into everything but he’s a good stone. He’s also a quick learner.

Currently, he is across the pond this month to visit our good friend Easy at http://easyweimaraner.wordpress.com/ . They seem to be having a blast. I’m so very proud of him that he’s not gotten into any mischief. Surprised in a way because I know how he can be sometimes as a rolling stone.

Do you know he once ran off in the middle of our local WalMart? It took us some time to find him but we finally did in the frozen food section. He had steamed up the glass so it was hard to see him. They finally saw him though licking a strawberry pie. He said he got hungry. Of course, mom/dad had to buy the pie and that was a good thing because we all benefited from it that night 🙂

While he’s been gone, I’ve been working on a little project for him that he doesn’t know about 🙂 Don’t you just love secrets!? Mom has a friend that has been traveling on a fantastic vacation in Hawaii. He comes home today and he’s bringing me something. I’m not going to give it away yet. All I will say is Pohaku. Isn’t that beautiful? You’ll have to figure that out. But it’s for Bashful and his homecoming trip.

It will be interesting. Don’t you worry little man. I’ll take care of this guest until you get home. We are all excited here at the Hotel Thompson about it. Did I mention that there is *never* a dull moment here? We are always doing something.

Have fun little guy. Can’t wait to see some more of your adventures with Easy. Keep up the great behavior. XOXO – Bacon
