Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

Once upon a time, there was a cute little boy and a cute little girl.  They grew up relatively in the same area not too far away from each other.

 You know what they say about three degrees of separation?  It was the same in this situation.  They knew some of the same people.  He went to a private Christian school that she attended church at during the week.  They ate at some of the same restaurants. For all they knew, they might have passed each other during their childhood.  It was possible.

They grew up,  went through school and college.  Until one day, the girl applied for a job at a business that changed the course of her life.  She was interviewed by the mother of the boy who took an immediate liking to the girl.  In fact the liking was so much that the mother hired the girl for the job having a secret agenda.  The secret agenda was to have her son meet this girl and fall in love.

The mother introduced them and they went to lunch together for the first time on September 14,  1988.  It was an immediate chemistry and love was in the air.  The young boy courted the young girl throughout the years doing everything together.  There would be times that one wanted to get married but the other didn’t at the time and vice versa.  Not that they didn’t love each other but because they had things they wanted to get done first.  You know the things in life like finishing college and getting a solid paying job.  But throughout this time, families merged and got to know each other.

The young couple courted for 16 years.  Yes my friends, that is not a typo.  Life was good.  What was the rush?  They grew up and got set in their ways.  She bought a home and was taking care of herself and he was taking care of his parents and helping them.

Then on Valentine’s day February 14, 2004, the young man got down on one knee and asked THE question, “Will you marry me?”  The young girl was shocked and amazed.  Her response, “What’s the rush?”  A sense of humor that has maintained throughout their relationship – that’s a good thing.

The young girl accepted.  A date was discussed.  Sadly, the mother of the young man had passed away over the years.  In honor of her, they made a date for September 15, 2004.

Now, this is the fun part.  Two lives merged as one into ONE household.  They said their I do‘s and moved in together for the first time.  What a wake up call!  PLOL (pig laughing out loud).  

Today marks their 13th wedding anniversary or 29 years of being together.  Was it easy – nope.  Has their been good times and bad times – of course.  Every marriage has bumps in the road.  It’s how you travel over the bumps to the other side that makes a long lasting relationship.  It also helps that both of them have a really wicked sense of humor.  I mean look at me.  Who do you know would adopt a pig in their lives?  Enough said on that.

So today, we at the Hotel Thompson would like to wish mom and dad a Happy Anniversary.  Here’s to another 29 years of being together!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon – Please make my humans stop.  It rains a lot where we live.  They insisted on getting me this raincoat.  I see nothing funny.  Yet, my humans laugh their butts off every time they put it on me.  I don’t get it.  Signed Sluggo

Dear Sluggo – Shaking my head.  Pal, I have to say that raincoat says it all, especially with knowing your name now.  You humans have a wicked sense of humor indeed.  I wouldn’t be upset with them.  Go with it and have a blast in your raincoat.  Now, if they start laying down some salt where you walk, that’s where I would draw the line.  Snorts with piggy laughter – yeah – draw the line.

---

Dear Bacon – I went on Pet Harmony and signed up for some adventure in my life.  I don’t think this is what I had in mind for adventure.  I was thinking a little cat calling at night, maybe some fence walking, trash can tipping and singing to the Cat Gods.  I don’t think for some reason my user name helped me out with what I wanted.  Where did I go wrong?  Signed Chick Magnet

Dear Chick Magnet – Oh friend.  I think you might want to rethink that user name.  I think some of your fellow anipals to it too literally.  But then again, you can’t claim false advertising.  You are a chick magnet.  Who knew you could get that many chicks on top of you.

---

Dear Bacon – Sometimes you are born this way.  There could be a million reasons to make the perfect illusion but that would start a bad romance.  Til it happens to you, don’t hate the paparazzi.  They could make you speechless.  So keep that poker face my friend.  Signed Lady Kitty Kitty

Dear Lady Kitty Kitty – You do remind me of someone.  I just can’t put my hoof on it.  Maybe I’ll just dance and think on it for a while.  I love your look my friend.  It’s you and everyone is an individual.  Wear it with pride always!

---

Dear Bacon – I’m not sure why my humans woke up from bed, saw me, screamed and passed out.  I don’t get it at all.  They were watching television and fell asleep on the sofa.  I got bored so I crawled up on the ledge of the television stand and took a quick siesta myself.  I woke up and stretched I guess about the same time they did.  For humans, let me tell you, they can scream loud!  Signed The Ringer

Dear The Ringer – Dear Lord have mercy.  I think I would have lost my crap as well kitty.  Don’t you scare people or anipals like that again.  Do you not watch television at all?!  I gotta go now.  I think I tinkled myself.

---

Dear Bacon – Just wanted to give you a heads up on some sound relationship advice. Sometimes all it takes is one accessory to catch the ladies.  I find that the perfect hat can start a wonderful relationship.  You should try it sometimes my friend.  Signed Cowboy Up

Dear Cowboy Up – Oh my!  This sounds ideal for sure.  I think I will go shopping for some accessories.  How could a little piglet in a hat go wrong?  Thanks for the great relationship help my friend!

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon – Darn that pesky cat.  She dared me to stick my head under the privacy fence to look at Bob.  Well you know I’m not one not to take a challenge so I did it.  Well guess what?  My head is stuck.  Bob tried everything he could to get me un-stuck but nothing.  I know I heard that pesky purr thing clicking pictures to post on line.  This does mean war.  Any suggestions?  Signed Stuck Between a Rock and Hard Place

Dear Stuck Between a Rock and Hard Place – Here’s what I would do… not that I’ve done anything like this before – looks innocent.  When the purr things goes to sleep, find the camera and change your face picture of being stuck to the purr things face.  Then put that picture all over the place.  Fair is fair, right?  Snorts.

---

  Dear Bacon – OMC – Make the winter go away please.  It is so cold in my part of the world – this is how you will find me every night – trying to touch the heat waves.  Is it still cold there in your part of the world?  Signed Stretch

Dear Stretch – Shaking my piggy head.  I am so with you my friend.  Some days are great – perfect temperature and skies.  While other days, the rain is falling and it is cold.  Hopefully soon Mother Nature will make up her mind and pick one season to stick to… I hope.

---

  Dear Bacon – What’s up?!  I just know you are eating or drinking something wonderful on the other side of this fence.  Just put it right there okay… right there on my tongue.  Many thanks!  Signed Beggar

Dear Beggar – If only I had something my friend, I would surely share with you.  Heck, if you lived closer, I would go get you an poochie ice cream.  Mom always makes sure that Houdini has some in the freezer.  They don’t taste that bad at all – I know cause I’ve had one.  Hope you get something soon.  Hang in there… well don’t hang.  Maybe take your tongue out of the hole.

---

  Dear Bacon – I tell my human this all of the time.  “Oh no don’t stop.  I love hearing all about your break ups and fights with your boyfriend.  You have my solid attention – do go on.  I’m sitting here just totally enthralled.  I would give you a hug but look – I’m caged.”  Signed Attention

Dear Attention – Snorts with piggy laughter.  Does this work?  Does your human take you out for a little hug?  I mean heck they should because you do look like you are giving them your full attention.  I’m really touched – snorts.

.

 Dear Bacon – My human thought he was dreaming last night but it really was me in person scaring him.  Evil Purrs.  I dressed up like a doctor and put a light over his face.  Surely he thought he was going into surgery.  It was really hilarious.  For a human, he can’t jump pretty high.  Have you ever fooled your humans like this?  Signed Mischief

Dear Mischief – I like the way you think my friend.  Every chance I get it, you know I pick on my human father.  Our relationship is deep and has many levels.  Both of us think that we are the alpha here at the Hotel Thompson.  But we all know who that really is, right?  Keep up the great work my friend.  I’m highly impressed with your young abilities.

Domestic Violence – A Word from Mom

Sometimes you hear about something on the news that totally blows your mind away.  Some of you may know, we watch a lot of paranormal shows here at the Hotel Thompson.  That’s something that intrigues us.  In watching these shows, you get to know some of the people that you see.  And with social media the way it is these days, you even get to chat with these people from time to time.  You may not have met in real life but like people here on the blog or on Facebook, you become friends.

Mom spoke to one of these friends a couple of weeks ago when she posted that she and her husband were separating.  Of course, we never know the circumstances from any marriage, behind any closed door or what takes place between a couple.  You don’t throw judgement, you support the decision and try to help.

Yesterday morning, the estranged husband kidnapped his wife and held her hostage in Nevada.  There was a police stand off and SWAT was called to the scene.  The husband not only ended up killing his wife and himself, there was also a third person whose name has not been released yet.

This situation has just touched my heart so hard and I had difficulty sleeping last night from thinking about it all.  After doing some research on line, I saw that there was some difficulties in the relationship since earlier this year and one or the other was charged with domestic violence on two different situations.  It still doesn’t make sense why it needed to come to this.  What did it solve?  You have the family and the public/fans of the couple just questioning why?  It makes sense if you are having difficulty in a relationship to move on and give each other some breathing room.  Why did it have to escalate not to 1 but 3 deaths is just unimaginable.

Friends and visitors to my blog, if you are in a relationship with domestic violence, please get help.  Don’t stay.  Don’t be a statistic.  Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline.  I know that’s easier said than done.  And I know that none of us know the exact circumstances to this case and that there are always two sides to every story.  But please get and be safe.  Life is too short and precious.

Breaking News – STOP EVERYTHING!

 STOP EVERYTHING –

Oh my piggy – I’m so excited.  I haven’t been this excited since mom upgraded my cable in my bedroom on my flat screen television.  Last night, this was breaking news.  Oh my piggy heavens!  I have a chance.  Quick, I need a bath.  I need new clothes.  I need a stylist.  I need a plane ticket to Hollywood.  Someone set me up quick.

The woman of my dreams is not available – SQUEALS!
