Hello dear friends. Today I want to gently ease into my 31 Days of Spook. So today, let’s see how smart you are with things of fun.
What do you get when you cross Bambi with a ghost? Bamboo
When do ghosts usually appear? Just before someone usually screams
What do you call a ghost with a broken leg? Hoblin Goblin
What do you call a ghost in a torn sheet? A holy terror
Three vampires walk into a bar. One vampire says, “I’ll have a pint of blood”. The second one says, “I’ll have the same”. The third one says, “I’ll have a pint of plasma”. The bartendar says, “So, that’ll be two bloods and one blood lite.”
How can you tell if a vampire has been in a bakery? All of the jelly has been sucked out of the doughnuts.
What type of dog does every vampire have? A bloodhound
Today, I want to hear you laugh while you are afraid. Let’s go to the lighter side of horror. Let’s tickle that ghost bone and see what happens, shall we? Let’s start with some jokes and end with a favorite song of mine – I hope you enjoy it my little spooks!

Friends, I need to be a serious for a bit. You see, there have been some things going on here at the Hotel Thompson that I’ve kept a secret. Imagine that. *Moi* keeping a secret. I know! I’m more surprised than you are – really I am. We have all kept it kind of low key waiting to see the results and today we got some. Mom/dad said it was okay to share now so I am.
Mom went for her yearly mammogram last Wednesday. Yes, this is where you can say OUCH! Mommy says they take her breasts and put them between two pieces of glass. Then they squish them to take pictures. For some women, there is no pain while others say it is very painful… like mom. It is definitely NOT a happy time. She kind of compares it to throwing yourself chest first up against a wall like a squishing a fly. Can you say it now? OUCH.
So this past Friday, she receives the following phone call at 4:50 PM. On a Friday – remember that okay.
“This is Dora with the Doctor’s Office. Is this June?”
“Yes, this is June.”
“Can you verify your date of birth and medical record number?”
“Yes…blah-blah-blah”
“The radiologist has reviewed your images from your mammogram this week. There is some concern over the images on your right breast. He sees a cluster of calcification and wants you to come back in for more testing.”
With a worried sound in her voice, “Okay. What does that mean? When?”
“Calcification can mean a lot of different things. We need you to come in 8:30 AM next Wednesday, 09/02/2015. After some more testing, the radiologist will meet with you and go over everything.”
“Okay. I’ll be there.” Looks down at clock and it’s now 5:00 PM… on a Friday. Great. Now I will need to break this news to my husband so we can both sweat about it ALL weekend. Terrific.
So you see friends. Mom and dad have been worried for a couple of weeks now. They didn’t tell us anipals about anything until yesterday. Can you imagine getting this phone call on a Friday afternoon before the weekend? No wonder mom/dad would just look at each other over the weekend and say to each other, “Really?” or “What if?” Unbelievable is what I say.
Yesterday, mom went for her re-test. Afterwards, the nurse said, “The radiologist wants to speak to you.” Mom would like to say she was shocked at that but after everything she had been through, can you be more shocked? Her and dad went to the radiologist’s office to meet with him and go over the results.
So they meet with the doctor and he shows mom/dad all of the images from the Mammogram – the current ones compared to the past ones and talks all of these long words. That’s when mom speaks up, “Cut to the chase. What’s going on in my terms?” Leave it to my mommy huh? They have found some spots on mom’s right breast. They want to watch them and retake some tests in six months. He doesn’t think they are anything to worry about but if they are still there and look ‘worse’ in six months, they will probably do a biopsy. But, he thinks they are okay. He then went into the different phases, sizes and shapes of different calcification’s.
Bottom line is mom is okay but she has been put through the ringer in the past week with this scare. Have your moms been through this? We pray in March 2016 that everything is smooth sailing easy peasy with no worries. If you can send her healing vibes and prayers, we would so much appreciate it my friends.
Dear Bacon – Life is so not fair dude. Life has become so politically correct lately that no wants to do the things they were doing before because they feel they don’t have to. Do you know what I mean? This is me. I told my human I needed to go for a walk. What do they do? They give me the pan and sweeper, told me to walk myself and to clean up after myself. What? Isn’t that what the humans are suppose to do? Not anymore they said. They said that it wasn’t their poop and I needed to clean it myself. Enough with this politically correct stuff already. What do you say? Signed Swifter
Dear Swifter – Oh pal, I so get you. People are taking life way too serious and need to lighten up a bit. Life is too short to be in a constant battle of being politically correct. I say give back that pan and sweeper to the humans. You are not playing that game. If they don’t agree, I think a few strategic poop bombs will work – snorts. Let me know how it works out for you okay.
Dear Bacon – I don’t get it. Everyday at the zoo, I come out to greet the humans. They all make Batman jokes. I just don’t get and understand it. My name is Ben not Batman. Do you get it and if you do can you please explain this to me. Shakes bear head. Signed Ben
Dear Ben – Smiles and oinks. You see my friend there is the superhero called Batman. Batman’s symbol is like the one here to the right. I wanted to show you this picture because I need you to see what it looks like. Now, I need you to go look in the mirror at your handsome chest. Do you see the resemblance? That’s right – nods head. You are Batbear! Snorts with piggy laughter.
I think personally that is a HUGE compliment. You have the same markings as a superhero. That makes *you* a superhero my friend. Think about that. You have talent. I say work it up for all it’s worth and have fun with your markings.
.
Dear Bacon – squeaks! For my birthday, all I asked for was one little thing. I wanted a Radio Flyer. The small human here has one and they play with theirs all of the time. It looks like so much fun. I wanted one too. That way the little human could pull me around the house and have fun. The day of my birthday, I woke up and guess what?! I had my Radio Flyer! Have you ever been in one? I feel like I can fly! What do you think? Do I make this Radio Flyer? Signed Pig on Wheels
Dear Pig on Wheels – Awesome my friend. You totally rock that look and look like you are having the time of your life. I’ve never been in a Radio Flyer. I think I may need to add one to my Christmas list this year. I think could get use to sitting in it and having people pull me all around. Squeals with delight – carry on and have fun!
.
Dear Bacon – Is it working? I saw the hunk of my dreams walk by. I’ve heard on television that one way the humans attract their mates is to flip their hair. I thought I would give it try. What do you think? Yes or no? Signed Fluffy
Dear Fluffy – hubba hubba my sweet. I think it is so working. You flipped that hair so seductively. If you flipped it my way, I would be so taken with your beauty and wonder. If your friend doesn’t catch on, let me know. Call me okay.
.
Dear Bacon – That stinking purr thing has ticked me off for the last time. Every time I turn around, Mr. Giggles does something to *me* and then blames me for anything and everything when the humans are looking. Mr. Giggles steals my puppy food, drinks my water and sleeps in my masters bed near his head. Enough of this. I’m a dog in charge. Mr. Giggles is going to get it in three, two, one – BOOM. Signed Mr. Pooky
Dear Pooky – Shakes piggy head. First off my friend, I thought your humans were a little eccentric naming the kitty Mr. Giggles. Then I saw your name, Mr. Pooky. Not like there is anything wrong with that, it’s just unique. Have you thought this through all of the way? If you scare the giggles out of Mr. Giggles, rolls eyes, can you imagine what he is going to do to you for payback? Cause you know it’s going to happen my friend. I’d say rethink the situation and see possibly how you can set him up like he does to you. Maybe take one of Mr. Giggles furballs and strategically place it on your master’s pillow. That might be a better route. Not that I would know anything like that or not. Looks innocent and whistles.
Remember my friends, Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please keep sending me your letters and pictures to my email address.
Welcome my friends to another week of Paw Time with Houdini. I hope you had a terrific week full of fun and treats. Next week is leading up to something special – sshh come closer – mom’s birthday is next Friday. Can you believe that she is going to be 25 again? I was shocked too. But that’s our little secret.
This week at the Hotel Thompson, I’ve learned some more new things. First up, the rug near the front door is not suppose to be chewed. Who knew huh? Mom says it’s one of her favorite rugs and a certain little pooch now has teeth marks in it. What? Looks innocent. I wonder who did that? Bacon? Hemi? Mouse Girl? But I have to tell you that rug is intriguing. It calls my name and taunts me. Really it does. Have you ever had something like that calling your name and tempting you? It’s harsh.
This next thing I’ve learned is something that scared mom – I’m not sure why. She lives with us anipals so she should expect the unexpected, right? Okay look at this picture – stunning me hanging out on mom’s cchhaaiisseee. See here is the game. I climb up on top and when mom walks by I jump out at her. She catches me and then nuzzles my chin and belly. Okay I admit the first time I did it, she was shocked and surprised. But after that, she expects it now. I don’t do it to daddy for obvious reasons. I don’t think he would see me. And I’m not afraid of jumping or daddy not catching me. Nope not me. I’m brave. I’m afraid of the impact on the nice wood floor – barks!
See I am smart. Don’t let my size fool you. I’m not short. I’m six pounds of fun size.
And a special shout out today to Easy, mine and Bacon’s close friend and brother. You are awesome!! He sent me a gift for my birthday last week. I got a package in the mail yesterday here at the crib. All the way from France and made out to moi. I was so excited. I just knew it was from me. Daddy opened the package and I was jumping all over the place telling him to hurry up. After a gazillion hours, he finally opened it but NNOOO mom had to take a quick picture first. BARKS! Look at all of the goodies – a shirt, a handkerchief, Shit Happens bags, a card and a squeaky toy. All of which say “HEART BREAKER”. aawaw – you are awesome my sweet friend. AND I ❤ it all… even the Shit Happens baggies… which will come in handy trust me.
But you know what was my favorite, right? The squeeze heart. Oh my dogs! It’s the best. It makes a different squeak than my other toys and it’s L.O.U.D. It’s absolutely the best. I played with it and played with it and then played with it some more. In fact when mom put me to bed last night, she didn’t know I had put it in my bedroom. She and the neighbors didn’t know until they heard me playing with it around 2:00 AM. BARKS with laughter. Hey I dog has to play right brother? Thanks again my friend – you are the best!
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
I have to start by saying I’m coming out of hibernation. See my fur. It’s coming off. I’m shedding. I do that. Then we are *all* under stress here at the Hotel Thompson. This is a picture from last week. We still had carpet… then. 🙂 That’s all I’m saying about that. Tomorrow is a big day here. I can’t tell you anymore than that – well except it’s almost over.
I can tell you though that last week I might have cornered a worker here at the Hotel Thompson. Might is a pretty strong word. See, who would have known that a strong, tall guy could be afraid of a little oinker. He was working in the kitchen. I thought I would check on him and walked up behind him and oinked. You know he jumped pretty high – I was amazed. So there I was having a conversation with him and oinking. He squealed pretty high too. Then mom came in holding the little guy Houdini and was trying to wrestle me out of the kitchen. I was just trying to help… really I was. Raise your hand if you believe me. I see you – thank you. Stupid worker.
Welcome my fellow goblins to my 31 Days of Spook. Today, I’m going to the lighter side of horror. Let’s tickle that ghost bone and see what happens, shall we?
