Welcome my friends to SPOTLIGHT THURSDAY. This is the time that I will introduce you to one of my fellow anipals so you can get to know them better. Some of them, you may already know. We hope that you enjoy this series!
❤ Rocky and Bullwinkle are Facebook friends. They will be checking in throughout the day to answer any comments/questions. Let’s welcome them ❤
What were your first thoughts when you met your new parents? Our dad was scary at first. He had to chase us to get us in the crate. We ran away but eventually he caught us. He was very nice but it was scary being placed in the back of the truck. When we got to our new home, we met our mommy who was very beautiful ❤ and she was so nice to us. We knew right away our mommy really loved us.
What was the defining moment when you knew you were in your forever home? After finishing our job of eating all of the ivy and brush, we knew they fell in love with us and built us a house. And our new fur mom Sierra loved us a lot.
What has been your biggest “Oh no, now I’ve done it” moment so far in your home? Rocky here. My big no-no was good. I escaped out of the fence. That’s bad enough but wait for it. I then ate mom’s favorite plant. Okay yeah that was definitely bad but wait for it. I then jumped on the table outside and pooped on it. Yeah, and they still kept me. If nothing shows love, that does. Bullwinkle here. My big no-no wasn’t as bad as Rocky’s – trust me on that. The worst I do is maybe scream and maybe complain when I’m hungry. But don’t you complain when you’re hungry?
Who do you have wrapped around your paws more – mom or dad – and why? Rocky here. I’m like dad. People actually call us two peas in a pod and say that me and dad think the same and act crazy. Bullwinkle here. I’m very close to mom. We love each very much!
What’s the biggest misconception that humans think about you? People think us goats eat tin cans – we don’t even like the taste! Actually we are very intelligent and we put things in/out of our mouths because that’s how we find out what things are like – you know like how dogs smell things. And if anyone gets a goat, we need to come in pairs. We don’t do well without a friend. And let me tell you, a lonely goat is a bad goat. And we are very loving. We can act like big goofy dogs.♥
This is us – Rocky and Bullwinkle – with Sierra. Happy Trails!
Hope you enjoyed meeting my friend – check back next week for another Spotlight edition!
Dear Bacon – No. That’s right No. Our doorbell rung in the middle of the day. We weren’t expecting anyone so mom looked out the peep hole. She didn’t see anyone. We all sat back down and again the doorbell rung once again. Mom went to the door, looked out the peep hole and nothing. So she opened the door… of course keeping the security chain on the door. Then mom squealed – I’m sure she squealed louder than you. This is what she saw. What in the world? He wanted to borrow a cup of chicken – as if. Mom told him that she wasn’t the local Kroger and to take a hike. Have you ever had guests like this wanting to borrow food? Signed Uninvited Guests
Dear Uninvited Guests – Oh dear piggy heavens have mercy! Now we all believe in neighborly hospitality here at the Hotel Thompson. Journalist Rocky the Squirrel often knocks on our back door asking for a cup of nuts. And once, the neighbor asked to borrow a cup of milk. But *never* have we had such a guest wanting a cup of chicken. Did your friend leave? I mean who you goin’ to call in this circumstance? Be safe my friend – and keep that door LOCKED.
Dear Bacon – I scored BIG time for Christmas. I asked Jolly St. Nick for a cool pair of bunny slippers. And let me tell you something, he delivered!! I am jumping all over my crib in bun-bun delight. Aren’t they the cutest things you have ever seen my friend? Signed Bunny Times Two
Dear Bunny Times Two – You are *almost* right my sweet dear friend. Those slippers are *almost* as cute as you. I think you are pretty darn cute to begin with and YOU make those slippers even cuter. Wear them with pride and stay warm my little friend!
Dear Bacon – I’m sorry. I couldn’t wait and had to go. And I hear my mom tell my dad all of the time, “Better out than in.” I think this is what she was meaning. I’m sorry. But what better way says I’m sorry than to leave my poo in a heart shape, right? Surely mom wouldn’t be upset over that on your new rug… you know of course add in my pleading don’t-be-made look. What do you think? Signed You Gotta Go – You Gotta Go
Dear You Gotta Go – Well dear, my mom says there is no way she would be mad if I made that mistake and left something in a heart shape. Like you said, sometimes crap happens. Keep being cute and give mom extra snuggles today – she will forgive you.
Dear Bacon – You see, we got new neighbors over the weekend. We heard that she’s a cute little poodle. We were just trying to take a peak and see. That’s when our master caught us. Can you say busted? Signed Caught in the Act
Dear Caught in the Act – One question my friends. Did you see her? Was it worth it? Why have you not gone over with some biscuits and welcomed her to the hood. I think that would be a grand gesture from the both of you. You know, meet her first before anyone else does. Let me know how it works.
Dear Bacon – No one and I mean no one will ever be this cool. How cool? Me a mere lizard standing on some good stuff in a posture that just screams, “I’m the lacertilia!” Ha! Now, I need to pour me another and get this party started! Signed Fred
Dear Fred – Well I must say you do know how to party my friend. And well I have to admit. I did have to look up the word lacertilia to see what it meant – snorts with piggy laughter. You are one of few words. Loved it my friend. Now remember something important. Don’t drink and drive. Stay home to party and keep it at home. Have a great time and oh – don’t forget my invitation. But I’ll take some koolaid on ice – no alcohol in mine okay.
.
REMEMBER my friends. Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please remember to keep sending me your letters and pictures via my email.
Dear Bacon – Life is so not fair dude. Life has become so politically correct lately that no wants to do the things they were doing before because they feel they don’t have to. Do you know what I mean? This is me. I told my human I needed to go for a walk. What do they do? They give me the pan and sweeper, told me to walk myself and to clean up after myself. What? Isn’t that what the humans are suppose to do? Not anymore they said. They said that it wasn’t their poop and I needed to clean it myself. Enough with this politically correct stuff already. What do you say? Signed Swifter
Dear Swifter – Oh pal, I so get you. People are taking life way too serious and need to lighten up a bit. Life is too short to be in a constant battle of being politically correct. I say give back that pan and sweeper to the humans. You are not playing that game. If they don’t agree, I think a few strategic poop bombs will work – snorts. Let me know how it works out for you okay.
Dear Bacon – I don’t get it. Everyday at the zoo, I come out to greet the humans. They all make Batman jokes. I just don’t get and understand it. My name is Ben not Batman. Do you get it and if you do can you please explain this to me. Shakes bear head. Signed Ben
Dear Ben – Smiles and oinks. You see my friend there is the superhero called Batman. Batman’s symbol is like the one here to the right. I wanted to show you this picture because I need you to see what it looks like. Now, I need you to go look in the mirror at your handsome chest. Do you see the resemblance? That’s right – nods head. You are Batbear! Snorts with piggy laughter.
I think personally that is a HUGE compliment. You have the same markings as a superhero. That makes *you* a superhero my friend. Think about that. You have talent. I say work it up for all it’s worth and have fun with your markings.
.
Dear Bacon – squeaks! For my birthday, all I asked for was one little thing. I wanted a Radio Flyer. The small human here has one and they play with theirs all of the time. It looks like so much fun. I wanted one too. That way the little human could pull me around the house and have fun. The day of my birthday, I woke up and guess what?! I had my Radio Flyer! Have you ever been in one? I feel like I can fly! What do you think? Do I make this Radio Flyer? Signed Pig on Wheels
Dear Pig on Wheels – Awesome my friend. You totally rock that look and look like you are having the time of your life. I’ve never been in a Radio Flyer. I think I may need to add one to my Christmas list this year. I think could get use to sitting in it and having people pull me all around. Squeals with delight – carry on and have fun!
.
Dear Bacon – Is it working? I saw the hunk of my dreams walk by. I’ve heard on television that one way the humans attract their mates is to flip their hair. I thought I would give it try. What do you think? Yes or no? Signed Fluffy
Dear Fluffy – hubba hubba my sweet. I think it is so working. You flipped that hair so seductively. If you flipped it my way, I would be so taken with your beauty and wonder. If your friend doesn’t catch on, let me know. Call me okay.
.
Dear Bacon – That stinking purr thing has ticked me off for the last time. Every time I turn around, Mr. Giggles does something to *me* and then blames me for anything and everything when the humans are looking. Mr. Giggles steals my puppy food, drinks my water and sleeps in my masters bed near his head. Enough of this. I’m a dog in charge. Mr. Giggles is going to get it in three, two, one – BOOM. Signed Mr. Pooky
Dear Pooky – Shakes piggy head. First off my friend, I thought your humans were a little eccentric naming the kitty Mr. Giggles. Then I saw your name, Mr. Pooky. Not like there is anything wrong with that, it’s just unique. Have you thought this through all of the way? If you scare the giggles out of Mr. Giggles, rolls eyes, can you imagine what he is going to do to you for payback? Cause you know it’s going to happen my friend. I’d say rethink the situation and see possibly how you can set him up like he does to you. Maybe take one of Mr. Giggles furballs and strategically place it on your master’s pillow. That might be a better route. Not that I would know anything like that or not. Looks innocent and whistles.
Remember my friends, Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please keep sending me your letters and pictures to my email address.
Oh WOW! I’ve been saying that all weekend – WOW. Sometimes one sees something that they can’t un-see. Then one thinks hard about what they shouldn’t have seen and they can’t stop laughing. This is one of those situations. You might not know this but all of us here at the Hotel Thompson enjoy a good chuckle – shocking huh? Well this past weekend, I happened to stumble across a commercial on You Tube that I just *HAVE* to share… I mean it would only be right of this little oinker to do so. I know after mom and dad watched it, they will never be the same again. They are constantly making comments every time one of us go potty now. Oh dear piggy heavens – the jokes that daddy has come up with after watching this video. Okay. I know. Enough with the foreplay – show you the video. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have to go potty now – snorts.
I’m BBAACCKK! After a wonderful month off from my regular routine, I am back with my normal postings. Hope you enjoyed my 31 Days of Spook my friends – now back to some wonderful Dear Bacon issues with anipals that need help –
Dear Bacon – I have a slight problem here. I’m always being watched. Always. It’s like I get no peace or alone time. What can I do? He’s watching me now, isn’t he? Signed Helpless
Dear Helpless – WOW! He is watching you right this instance. What is he writing a book – are you chapter 3? The dude needs to leave you alone. You need to fix this now. Perhaps the next time he is in the other room, maybe you need to shut the door. Or persuade him into a closet. You know, something along those lines. Sshheessh – a purr thing has to have their alone time. Good luck my friend.
Dear Bacon – With the cold weather coming, I have to use anything to keep my head warm. They say if the head is warm, your entire body is warm. I think this is doing the trick. I found it in the miniature human’s room. What do you think? Signed Cat Heater
Dear Cat Heater – My friend. I think you might want to rethink that head warmer. Tell me it’s new and not slightly used too okay. You see, that is not a head warmer. That is one of the miniature humans butt warmers. I’ve seen them. What happens in them is not pretty. Not pretty at all. Although it does have a certain appeal as apparel, I’m afraid the other purr things in the hood might just laugh you out of the neighborhood and not let you play in their kitty games. I’m just sayin’.
.
Dear Bacon – Life is not fair. Halloween only comes but once a year and I am so very glad. Can you believe that my humans dressed me up like a poop factory for the big day? I’m so humiliated. Why couldn’t they dress up the small human that cries all of the time like this? Why me? I mean my poop is no more than the humans. Really. Please help me. Signed Poop Factory
Dear Poop Factory – I have to admit my friend that the costume is very original. I saw a lot of costumes on the big night but I think yours might be the icing on the cake. I say wear it with pride. I know it’s humiliating. But I assure you that Christmas is just around the corner. You know what needs to be done to the Christmas tree. You know just as a token of your appreciate for this outfit. Snorts.
Dear Bacon – Where there’s a bag, you know a cat is there to play. My buddy snapped this picture of me while I was playing pop goes the kitty in the bag. Talk about perfect timing huh? I think my abs look better than your pot belly. What do you think? Signed Abercrombie Cat
Dear Abercrombie Cat – OMP (Oh my pig). That is hilarious. This picture is so priceless that I’m going to let the shot of my physique just go right on by. I say bravo to you and your brother for the perfect picture taking. I think this needs to go viral, perhaps be in a Cats of 2015 calendar or a Christmas card. Maybe even sneak on your parents Facebook account and post this picture. Great job my friends. Now, I’m off to look for me an equally charming shopping bag. I wonder if they have one with James Bond somewhere here in the Hotel Thompson.
.
Dear Bacon – For some reason, I think there is an impersonator here in the room with me. I woke up from one of my many naps this morning, waddled into the living room and found HIM. HIM is not talking, not purring and not moving. I think he’s trying to wait for me to turn my back. I just know he is. What do you think? Signed Chucky
Dear Chucky – Oh my! I think you need to be careful there little guy. It looks like HIM is preparing to pounce on you. That could be really dangerous. I can only imagine what kind of damage he could do to you. Shivers. Thank goodness HIM is not here. Be careful. Maybe never turn your back to him. That’s it. Be vigilant!
Thanks my friends for your letters and pictures for my Dear Bacon issues. I can’t do this without you. Please remember to send me your letters/pictures to my email. ❤ you!
I’ve been saying that my backyard is a mysterious and wonderful place full of woods and creatures of the unknown. It should have magical unicorns that poop the rainbow…. not slithery things without fur that run around hissing at people that cross its path.
This weekend, I looked out my window and finally saw this special creature. I swear it winked at me. Then just to make it more special, it pooped the rainbow before it ran back into the woods.
See, I told you I had a mysterious back yard full of woods and whimiscal creatures. 🙂
