Journalist Rocky the Squirrel here – Keeping his paws on the nuts of the world
May 10th – the perfect holiday for ALL parents far and near. If you have kids, you can relate to this National Clean Up Your Room Day. The kids may think that everything in their ‘organized’ room is treasure and things they will need tomorrow but we all know that plate, one sock, various toys and Lego’s and clothes are things that need to be cleaned up. Sometimes the mess is so bad that you can’t walk through the room and stuff is packed under the bed, the dresser and the closet is overflowing. How do these kids live in this mess?!
To mom and dad’s delights everywhere – today is National Clean Up Your Room. Get out your shovels and pull the truck up to their window. It’s time for everyone to clean their rooms. Especially that Bacon, he’s not perfect either. I took a picture of that little fellows room before his mom got to it when she got home from work. WOW – that’s all I can say. I can just imagine the places I could hide some nuts in that room – chitter chatter.
P.S. my friends. This day also applies to adults. Kids make sure you check your parents rooms as well. Fair play is fair play !

Last week, I did a blog posting on Facts about Moi. If you missed it, please go and take a look. These were some of the things that people have asked mom/dad over the years. Today, I wanted mom to write a blog posting about some facts about me. I hope you find it interesting – take it away mom.
Thanks Bacon my cute little oinker 🙂
Having a pig is awesome. But there are some cons and pros about having any kind of animal under your care. We like to say that Bacon owns us and not we own a pig. Trust me, that’s how it works here at the Hotel Thompson and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Pros: Pigs have a great sense of time. In all the years Bacon has lived here, I do not need to set my alarm clock. Bacon knows exactly what time to get me up in the mornings for breakfast. His timing is so good, that he even lets us sleep in a little on the weekend. He is the best sous chef I have ever had. When I cook dinner at night, he often comes into the kitchen and sits on the floor waiting to help. Help with what you ask? Well, peeling potatoes for one. He absolutely LOVES to eat the part I peel. Salad making is another one – the boy loves his lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. And cabbage – oh my! Every since I was kid, I love to chew on the core of the cabbage. Now Bacon loves it too. Bacon gives so much love – he’s warm – he’s sweet and we both love to snuggle on the sofa together at the end of a very hard day and watch some television. That’s another thing – he loves his shows on television. He knows key words like sit, bedtime, snuggle, kitchen, dinner, breakfast, go to your room. He’s very smart and it shows. AND he is very protective of me. If he doesn’t know you, he will get in between you and me and stand guard. If you get closer to me, he will even snort at you. I call him my protect pig.
Cons: He is pig-headed. Now you know where that phrase comes from. When he wants something, he wants it yesterday. He can put those breaks on and he will not move. If he wants something, he will put his head down and torpedo his way to what he wants. He is very strong and has knocked me down a couple of times. Of course, he tries to make up for afterwards. He *hates* to be ignored. That is the worse thing that you can do to my sweet guy. You can not board a pig here in our area. So you have to arrange for a sitter in advance. And then you worry are they taking care of him like I would. He loves his schedule too and we feed him three times a day. My husband tells me that I cook for him more than him – LOL. He eats piggy chow but he also eats plenty of salads, omelets and from time to time piggy pancakes.
Welcome back my friends to Part 3 of mom/dad’s kidnapping. Of all of the places to send mom/dad overnight – why not a hotel? Snorts. I grabbed daddy’s credit card and booked them a room at the Hyatt in Marietta which is down the street from the restaurant I sent them to – Pappasito’s Cantina. The good part about this was that mom/dad are Hyatt members and they had enough points on their card that the room was FREE. Yes, you read that correctly. FREE. Nothing beats FREE – especially when you are putting together an anniversary weekend.
But wait a minute. There is something better than FREE. FREE champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries courtesy of the hotel manager, Mr. Foster. You rock Mr. Foster. This made mom/dad’s anniversary night. They enjoyed the bubbly and the room. Among experiences of hotel stays, this one ranked way up there at the top of the list – perhaps maybe even number 1. And look at the decorated bed. Romantic huh?
Okay remember then room was on the Hyatt point system and FREE. Well Mr. Foster also upgraded mom/dad’s room for their anniversary. Oh my piggy heavens! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this video that mom took – OMP! I wanted to come too – and the other anipals here. There was plenty of room for us to have a gracious time and we wouldn’t be in the way. You don’t believe me? Well, I’m going to share mom’s third video with you on the room. Daddy said they were in pig heaven! What’s not to like – check this out. AND SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MR FOSTER AND THE STAFF OF THE MARIETTA HYATT – YOU ROCK!

Dear Bacon, My friends say I catch like a girl. I don’t get it. What would make them think that of me? My owners are always throwing stuff at me. I look at it as fun and games. Do you like to play like this? Signed Eeekkk
Dear Eeekk – Oh my friend. I have no idea why your friends would say something like that about you. I have no clue. Your paws up in the air like that are just so darling – did that big bone get you by surprise? Snorts.
.
Dear Bacon, What? I didn’t do this to the front room. No sir I didn’t. I walked in the front room and it was like this. It wasn’t me. Look closer at the picture – it was that flea ridden dog – he was the one that did this. He is the one that is trying to frame sweet innocent little old me. That’s the truth. Cat’s honor. Until they get paw prints taken, I am innocent my friend. Signed Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Dear Innocent Until Proven Guilty, Well my friend I do see the pooch in question in the picture. You do realize that technology is so advanced these days that they can take paw prints and saliva to figure out who did these things. I’m just saying that if the dog did do it … cough cough… there would be some dog slobber somewhere. If not, then things can get turned your way really fast. So knowing this… perhaps you need to go and have a talk with poochie before the humans get home? Just sayin’.
P.S. Well played in your destruction.
Dear Bacon, I’m totally a rule breaker. This sign says Keep Off. Guess what? I’m not down with that. That sign was just begging for this little pug thug to get up on it and take a picture. BAM! That’s what I say. Signed Thug Wanna Be. P.S. Can you help me off of here now?
Dear Thug Wanna Be, okay that’s almost too funny for words my talented little pooch. I hope jumping up there didn’t stunt your genealogy line for the future. I do admire your tenacity of breaking the rules. You’re my kind of guy. Don’t worry. I called Triple A. They should be out shortly to help you down from your pedestal gracefully… soon I hope. Until then, can I get you anything? Coffee, tea, blanket, pillow?
.
Dear Bacon, Everyone likes to play in the water… my asses aren’t any different. Really, you should be getting your pool out and ready soon. Have fun our little friend. If you get a chance, come join us – there’s always room for more fun. Signed Mommy Donk
Dear Mommy Donk, You know when I first read your comment I thought, “WOW, you really hate your kids.” Then dad explained all to me. Smiles and grins – love your play with words totally. This oinker would love to join ya’ll the next time I’m in town. Until then, keep playing and having the time of your lives!
Remember friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please keep emailing your pictures and questions to me. ❤
