Dear Bacon

 Dear Bacon – You know these days there are lots of people knocking on doors, some selling things, some begging for money, etc.  Well, we like to go door to door too.  We think that three great looking dogs can sniff out where food is being cooked and perhaps someone would like to share.  I mean look at our faces, you would, right?  At this particular house we smelled bacon… sorry dude.  And yes, the owner of the home shared some with us.  So you never know who might be knocking at your door.  Signed Three Amigos

Dear Three Amigos – Well that does bring new meaning to door to door.  And that’s awesome that people want to share with you three.  But no bacon here… really.  You might find some kibbles and bits from the little guy here though so come a knocking 🙂  I’ll share.

 Dear Bacon –  Don’t let anyone fool you.  Shaking my head – I fell for it BIG time from my so called doggy friends.  They dared me to bite and chew a ghost pepper.  Why do we take these bets?  Because they make us look big with our friends.  But I’m telling you – it’s not worth it.  That pepper was so hot that all I could do was lay down on a bunch of ice – doesn’t matter that it’s getting cold here.  My entire body was on FIRE.  Shaking my head.  Don’t do it Bacon – never take a dare of this magnitude.  Signed Hot Stuff

Dear Hot Stuff – I will so take your word for it friend.  I will not even look at one of these peppers no way.  And if I even think that it’s hot, I’ll give it to daddy first.  Snorts with piggy laughter.  Yep, that’s exactly what I will do.  Thanks for the heads up – try to cool down.

 Dear Bacon – In every family, there is that one family member that no one can stand.  Go ahead and admit it.  You know it’s true.  When Aunt Edna comes to our house, nobody wants to answer the door.  She’s such a cougar!  And with it being the holidays, you know that family member is coming.  Be prepared.  Signed Home for the Holidays

Dear Home for the Holidays – Oh snaps.  I do know exactly what you mean my friend.  There is one in every family for sure.  I think certain family members coming to stay with you during the holidays should be treated like fish.  After three days, they need to leave STAT.  Be safe and strong during this time.

---

 Dear Bacon –  My human loves snapping pictures.  I don’t mind for the most part.  It’s only when those times that come on really it’s your quiet time that I complain about.

No one wants to see me drool or for my tongue to be hanging out.  That’s not for pictures.  When will these humans learn?!  Signed Private

Dear Private – I agree with you 100% my friend.  Some things cameras don’t need to catch.  Heck, my mom once took a picture of me using the bathroom.  Really?!

For goodness sake mom!  I say we need to turn the tables on them for a change.  Maybe we should start taking their pictures in these less than pretty pictures.  Come on – let’s take a stand and unite!

---

Dear Bacon – Sometimes us anipals want to be other things… for instance, I’ve always wanted to be a dinosaur.  I mean think of the possibilities with that, right?  So my human, they new what I wanted and for my birthday they made me a dinosaur.  Can you hear me roaring?  Awesome for me!!  Have you ever wanted to be something else?  Signed Doggysaurus Rex

Dear Doggsaurus Rex – Dude, I say you look magnificent.  Really I do.  And your humans made you what you wanted.  I think that is so cool.  I’ve always wanted to be human.  In some ways, I think I am.  What do you think?

Dear Bacon

   Dear Bacon – I have the perfect plan my friend.  Oh barks – it’s the best!  Here’s the plan.  I plan on going door to door in my neighborhood.  When humans come to the door, I plan on telling them that I’m and Inspector with C.M. across the country.  You know C.M. = Canine Meals.  And that I’m there to sample their canine meals for originality and taste.  Dude, I think I have a chance.  What do you think?  Signed Inspector Husky

Dear Inspector Husky – Oh dude!  I think you do have a plan there.  I can see it now – canines from all over the world will be catching on in their neighborhoods all in the honor of YOU.  Might I suggest you get a badge made up as well.  You know humans these days won’t let you inside unless your official.  Be safe and keep us posted.

  Dear Bacon – There we were me and my human going for a walk here in the Spring – rolls doggy eyes.  Yeah Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor.  Snow in Spring.  Yeah okay.  Back to my story.  We were walking and all of a sudden this snow came drifting off of the roof.  I moved but guess who didn’t?  Barks!  Where’s Lassie when you need her to let peeps know my human fell and can’t get up?  You know I did what I could.  I stuck my head in the snow to make sure they were breathing.  They were.  Signed Lassie in Training

Dear Lassie in Training – Well priorities my friend.  At least you made sure that your human could breathe.  We all know that their hearing and reflexes aren’t like ours.  This is just proof in the pudding – snorts.  You did dig him up, right?  I hope he’s not still there.

 Dear Bacon – Well there goes my political career.  I was going to run for President however this picture has now been circulated by the other candidates.  I knew they were afraid of my charisma and they knew I would beat them.  Darn it.  I missed being President by just a cat’s whisker.  Signed Nip Ready

Dear Nip Ready – You know my friend this doesn’t mean the end.  As long as you didn’t inhale, you may have a chance.  Really – check it out in the past history.  I think you still need to run.  Heck, even with the nip history you still have a better running campaign than some.  Honestly.

Dear Archie, Oscar and Henry – Special Edition

September we are highlighting some of my friends who volunteered to help me out with my Dear Bacon issue. Today’s special edition is by some wonderful little purr thing friends – Archie, Oscar and Henry. You know them from their blog – mythreemoggies  If you don’t know them, you *must* go visit them and check them out.  Tell them that Bacon sent you.  Now, on to some great advice to help out our fellow anipals.

.

Dear Dear Archie, Oscar and Henry,
My mom said that if I behaved at the flea market, I could ride the merry go round. Bark-bark-bark. As you can see, I got to ride! Bark – it’s so much fun. Bark – can you tell I’m having fun? Signed Happy Bark

Dear Happy Bark,
It looks like you’re going round the twist. You’re barking mad. You can’t carousel on like this!
We know you dogs like to go a little crazy every now and then: chasing your tails, running after sticks, barking at the wind. But this is too much.
You need to be a little more cat… Quit the fairground, find yourself a nice warm bed and grab forty winks. That’s true happiness.
Signed Archie, Oscar and Henry

.

Dear Archie, Oscar and Henry,
What the cream cheese! There’s something slimy that confronted me today in my own living room. What the heck is the cast off from Sponge Bob? Have you ever seen this before. I’m not sure what I do with it – play with it, eat it or show it to the door. Thoughts? Signed Escardog

Dear Escardog,

This is a slimy situation you’ve got yourself into. Of course, your first resort to any intruder is to think ‘food’, but this is not Paris notre petit ami. You need to have a word in his shell like and tell him to sling his antennae.

Signed Archie, Oscar and Henry

Dear Archie, Oscar and Henry
What!? Haven’t you ever seen a dog turning in for the night? I have to get a good nights sleep so I’m in shape to chase the mailman in the morning. It’s what I do. Come on now – you can admit to me that you sleep like this too. Signed Napdog

Dear Napdog,
This is what we’re meowing about. Sleep like a king our friend!
The importance of a good kip isn’t lost any self respecting moggie, and it’s a relief to see our canine pals finally embracing the power of slumber.  After all, that mailman won’t chase himself.
Signed Archie, Oscar and Henry

.

Dear Archie, Oscar and Henry
Ha! I’m the littlest on the farm. The other animals like to horse around and bully me. I do what I do best. I sneak behind the trees and stick my tongue at them. When they chase me, the humans catch them picking on me. What!? Like you’ve never done that before? Signed Horse N Round

Dear Horse N Round,
This is neigh way to behave!
You need to stand up to yourself – are you a horse or a mouse?
Us moggies were brought up on da streets, and the rule there is you never grass. Actually, the rule is you eat the grass but whose letter is this anyway?
Signed Archie, Oscar and Henry

.

Dear Archie, Oscar and Henry
Hey guys. I need your help. I’m a traveling door to door salesman. For some reason, when I ring door bells no one answers. I don’t get it. Can you help me out? Signed Gator Calling

Dear Gator Calling,
You have an image problem. Smarten yourself up, employ a make over artist and get yourself a nice suit.
These gator-phobes won’t change their attitude unless you make the first move.
Oh, and make it snappy!
Signed Archie, Oscar and Henry
