Oh sweet friends – it’s almost Christmas – barks and runs around freaking out. Can you believe that? Santa is going to be here next week. I’m beyond excited for several reasons. One – gifts!! BARKS BARKS BARKS. Second – that pesky Don Juan will be GONE for another year. He has been really up to no good this year here at the Hotel Thompson.
But last night, I had a dream about him. It wasn’t bad – it was a happy dream. I dreamed that I finally caught him! Okay maybe not all by myself. But he was caught. Okay let me tell you about my dream.
My dream might have had something to do with the fact that we watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer last night. And it might have had something to do with the beef barbeque that mom fixed for dinner. Okay, Okay, I’m getting ahead of myself.
In my dream, it was me and Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster – see I have a special place in my heart for Bigfoot and Snow Monsters. We are super friends. There we were in the woods and it was snowing because hey that’s where Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster lives right. Well, we had a fire going and we were telling stories and having a grand time. That’s when that Don Juan showed up wanting to bash the party. Snorts – yeah he was the highlight of the party all right – barks with puppy laughter! How do you like your barbeque elf – rare, medium or well done?

Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!

Dear Bacon – We are all trying to do everything we can this time of the year to make more money for Christmas. I’m working on chaperoning humans around that kind of party too much. Hey, it’s just one of those things of giving and caring you know. And don’t worry. Those that I pick up don’t remember me driving them anywhere let alone the money I take out of their wallet – barks! Signed Duber
Dear Duber – Dude that is an awesome service. And you are right, no one will remember the great service that you are rendering. Stay safe my pal and drive between the lines!
Dear Bacon – It’s going to get cold soon in these parts. I gotta make sure we have enough wood for the fireplace to keep the house nice and toasty. When the humans go to work, so do I! But don’t worry, safety first with this ax. Signed Lineman of the County
Dear Lineman of the County – AWESOME! Bravo – bravo – bravo my friend. That is some thinking of ahead to make sure you stay warm. And if the humans stay warm – that means you get more play time and treats. That is a most excellent idea.
P.S. You know where I can get some of those boots in a pig size 3?

Dear Bacon – Talk about a hart day. I’m telling you beautiful life is so hard some days keeping up with all of the activities this time of the year. There’s the hairballs to fuss up. There’s the dogs to keep in line. There’s the hiding from the yearly Christmas card that goes out. There’s the singing at midnight to be scheduled. There’s the pouncing on the keyboards when the humans want computer time. Sigh – see – it’s a hard life being this good. I just want to kick back in my recliner at the end of the day with a glass of wine. How do you keep your sanity? Signed Kitty Pinot Noir
Dear Kitty Pinot Noir – WOW – You make happiness look so good my little purr friend. When you put everything down the way you did, your life is active. I myself try to take many, MANY naps during the day. This keeps me sprite and ready for mom when she returns home at the end of the day from her worky place. Cause we all know that when the homes get home, it’s game time!

Dear Bacon – It’s that time of the year! Finally all of the great movies come on television that scream HOLIDAYS. This is me from over the weekend. I looked at the television guide that morning and saw that my movie of the season was coming on that night. Got in my jammies, took out my contacts and had the popcorn ready for my netflix and chill – HOME ALONE. Dude, can that Kevin scream or what? I absolutely love that movie. It just shouts Merry Christmas!! Signed Dog Alone
Dear Dog Alone – OMP! That’s one of my mom’s favorites too. She says it’s not Christmas time until she watches that movie on television. What a coincidence you two have. I say go for it my friend and make the holidays happen for you. I myself love to watch Rudolph every year. That is my Christmas show to start the season. Enjoy and be safe!
REMEMBER my friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your letters and pictures to my email. Thanks!
