31 Days of Spook – Mental Health Ward

Today, let’s tell another true story from daddy.  I know you’re dying to hear it – evil snorts.

To get through college, daddy worked at a local hospital on the mental health ward.  No those rumors are not true – that is not where he met mommy – snorts.  When he first started at the hospital, he worked the midnight shift. The mental health ward during this time was in the basement right beside the morgue.  That would bring shivers to this little piggy to begin with.

One of his co-workers  told him a story the first couple of days that he was in training that still to this day puts his nerves on edge.  They said that years earlier, a mental health patient had gotten out of their rooms in the middle of the night.  They went into the  elevator and hung themselves around 3:00AM. Staff of the hospital found the mental health patient hanging in the elevator dead.

Since then, the elevators had locks installed on them and they won’t work without the key being inserted to call for the elevator.  The nurse told daddy that every night at 3:00AM, without fail, the elevator doors would open by themselves.  Daddy didn’t take too much into this until the first time he worked by himself.  The nurse’s station was right in front of the elevator doors.  Exactly at 3:00AM, the doors opened all by themselves. It still sends chills up and down daddy’s spine.  And the elevators to this date, still open and close exactly at 3:00AM.  Nothing is wrong with them, they’ve been checked.  There is no reason for them to open at this particular time.  Anyone going up?

 

Dear Bacon

 Dear Bacon – Really!?  Have you ever had one of those mornings?  There I was in the bathroom drinking out of my personal fountain when my pops got out of the shower.  Oh have mercy.  I threw my arms in the air like I just didn’t care and told him that I gave.  I mean really.  Should anyone be unfortunate to see their humans getting out of the wet shower… naked.  I think I may need psychiatric help for years after this.  I really thought he was trying to hold me up.  Shaking my purr head.  Signed Hands Up Among Other Things

Dear Hands Up Among Other Things – Thank you my friend.  Now I among all of my faithful readers will now be in psychiatric help right there along with you.  Once has been read can now not be unread and we will all have this visions in our mind.  Thanks for sharing my friend.  I hope therapy helps for all of us – snorts.

  Dear Bacon – Batcat lives.  My shadow says everything.  I am the real Batcat.  Be afraid.  Signed Batcat

Dear Batman – Well there you go then my friend.  The shadow never lies.  You are most definitely Batcat for sure.  Now be very still in that position.  I would hate to see you lose one of your lives since well you know since you are Batcat.

Dear Bacon – Day 3 and the pooches have no clue of my secretive undercover mission here.  I tell you my friend – I have the power!  I get to hear everything that they talk about.  It’s not as exciting as what I thought.  Meows.  Signed Purr Thing on the Downlow

Dear Purr Thing on the Downlow – WOW.  Really they don’t have interesting conversations?  You haven’t heard anything exciting.  Tell us.  What do dogs really think about all day.  You can tell us. It’s about licking themselves isn’t it?  Snorts with piggy laughter.

Dear Bacon – Help me.  If this picture doesn’t scream HELP – how many other ways can I say that?  What human in their right mind would ever think this was awesome or fun for us?  Really?  Tell me the advertising for this contraption didn’t have those words.  Because I’ll tell you something Bacon – it’s not fun.  It’s not awesome.  It’s confining.  It’s hot.  I think I will pee all over my human in disgust.  What say you?  Signed Pussy in a Bubble

Dear Pussy in a Bubble – I’m sitting here just shaking my head my friend.  What moron came up with this idea?  Squeeze a purr thing in a book bag?  Really?  You look like you are counting the ways of getting even.  I kind of agree with peeing all over your human.  Let’s see how water proof that bag is right now.  Betcha he wouldn’t do that again.  Let me know if he does though… oh my!

Dear Bacon – Look pig – even though I’m a dog I have to make my statement.  I’m not just an ordinary Yorkshire Terrier.  I’m much more than that.  I have personality.  I have to make my mark in today’s world.  What better way than having a creative hairstyle.  Hey, humans do it all of the time.  Why can’t us anipals?  Explain that to me huh.  What do you think.  Too Goth?  Not enough Goth?  Should I paint my nails black as well?  Signed Goth In Training

Dear Goth In Training – Let me tell you my friend.  I am impressed and slightly jealous.  I love your look. It gives you style.  It makes you stand out.  It gives you the umph that you need to say, “Hey, I am my own dog.”  I love it and think the little guy here Houdini needs to pay attention to this letter and make a stand for himself.  And yes why not to black nails.  I say you live once, live it to the fullest!

REMEMBER my friends, Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU.  Please remember to send me your pictures and letters to my email address.  ♥

Tank vs Albert – The Results

Hello my friends.  Hope everyone had a most excellent weekend.  We all did here at the Hotel Thompson.  Us anipals got plenty of snuggles and rest.  Mom and dad completed the Tank vs Albert challenge and I’m here today with the results from them.  And just so you know, mom took daddy with her so that the results were not one-sided.  Do you think you know who won out in the competition of who is the most fun?  Do you think mommy gets treated differently when she drives the other vehicle?  You don’t have to wait any longer – here we go.

First up for the challenge – Tank.  Mom/dad went out riding in Tank on Saturday around the area.  Now, remember the challenge was to do the following:

• Wave at two cars that are similar in make and see what people do.
• Let two people in front of her at different times to see what people do.
• Go through a drive thru and pay for the breakfast behind her to see what people do.

Mom saw another car right off similar to Tank on the boulevard.  She waved at the woman driver.  The woman driver did a double take as if who are you waving at.  So much for being friendly huh?  Later on, mom saw another car similar to Tank with another woman driver.  She waved.  The lady at least smiled at mom – no wave but a smile.

At a red light, there was a man coming out of a shopping center.  Mom stopped to let him out.  He came out like there was no tomorrow without even a glance back.  Later, another stop light and restaurant.  Mom waved to let the woman out.  Again, no acknowledgement.

Mom and dad then proceeded to a drive thru later on in the day.  The lady behind them was buying a Happy Meal for her child so mom decided to buy it for her.  Mom pulled up to see the woman’s reaction.  Nada.  Nothing.  Not even a wave of thank you.

Results in Tank – Okay not very friendly.  Mom did get a wave from another similar driver of a Chevrolet Equinox. Other than that, nothing.  How crappy huh?

---

Sunday, mom/dad decided to take out Albert for the test.  They drove in different areas than they did Tank the day before.  Now, Smart cars are harder to find on the roads here – not a lot of people have them so they had to really look.

After a while, mom spotted one like a great white in the ocean.  She moved towards it.  She didn’t even have to honk first – the guy did in his Smart car.  He beeped his horn and waved like crazy at mom.  Of course, she acted equally as crazy and waved back.

The next spotting was a two-for.  She was sitting at a light and a Smart car was coming out of a restaurant.  She not only let the Smart car out, but they waved like crazy, rolled down their window and shouted to mom, “We love your car!”  Go figure huh?

Later on in the day, mom/dad were sitting at another light and a car was coming out of a motel.  Mom motioned them.  Do you believe what they did – they waved and laughed.  Awesome!

Now the kicker – to do a drive thru and pay for someone’s meal behind them.  They hit the nearest drive thru, ordered their food and paid for the car behind them.  Mom pulled up a bit to see what would happen.  The car behind them pulled up, you could see the conversation taking place and then they started beeping their horn and waving.  SCORE!

So what does this challenge teach you… other than mom/dad have a lot of time on their hands to do random psychiatric testing on people that don’t even know it – snorts.  This challenge teaches you something that women have known for centuries – are you ready for this – SIZE MATTERS!  No really, think about it.  This works not only in cars but in real life with humans.  The smaller you are, the more accepting people are to you and go out of their way to be nicer.  You know it’s true.  It’s profiling at it’s basic power.  Think about it.   Until people accept that we are all individuals in all different shapes and sizes, this will continue.  Bullying is a powerful weapon that happens in all forms of life.  This is a time to make a stand my friends.

SAY NO TO BULLYING!!

Hello friends.  Today is a wonderful day indeed.  You have made it more than half way through my scares.  I applaud you for making it this far.  You deserve some credit.  So today, let’s tell another true story from daddy.  I know you’re dying to hear it – evil snorts.
