Happy Saturday my dear sweet friends. Today is the last day of September and the spooky month of October starts tomorrow. I wanted to give you a heads up about October. October is going to be a busy month for this little piggy.
I skyped a witch and she even saw me in her crystal ball. Even she knew I was up to something before mom and dad did. You see, I’m going to have 31 days of Spook on my blog. I’m personally going to highlight scary movies, television shows, legends, monsters and other things that go bump in the night. I might even quiz you on some of them so be prepared. Start brushing up on your trivia. I hope it will be fun for everyone.
So, happy last day of September my friends. Welcome to Spooky October! Evil snort

So, happy last day of September my friends. Welcome to Spooky October – Evil snort
And my friends, please feel free to share these stories of intrigue with your friends on your blog, Facebook and other social media. And if you make it through the entire month with me, look for your Ghost Badge 2016 to share on your blog.
Hello my sweet dear friends. I hope that your week has been exciting and great. There are lots of things going on here this week at the Hotel Thompson.
One thing was – coughs – I was in trouble last weekend. Okay, I’ll admit it. I’ve been in trouble for this for some time but mom really was upset with me last weekend. You see, when I was younger – don’t laugh – when I was younger and in my teething stage, I might have chewed some zippers off of mom’s pillows on her new sofa. Might is a strong word because no one really saw me but mom told me if she needed to take bite marks for comparison she would so I fessed up. I did it. All five of them in fact – barks! Well, last weekend mom sewed each one back to the way it was suppose to be. And yes, mom might have poked herself while sewing several times and given me looks. Of course, I tried to give her my cutest not me look mommy. So there is a firm rule set in stone now here at the Hotel Thompson – no touchy the pillows Houdini. Can you believe she used my name like that? Hangs head low.
And we have visitors this week. Two friends that mom/dad went and met last year are in our area again visiting. Mom has taken some time off of the worky place so they can all play together. You do realize that this means trouble right? Cause I just know they may need bail money this week… and probably next week because they are all going out of town for a couple of days and leaving all of us.
Oh I shouldn’t say “all” of us because a certain oinker – not mentioning names – has went to camp this week and all of next week. Why? So mom/dad could have fun with these friends – which I will tell you about later with some pictures. You see the purr things – they can take care of themselves. And me well I can take care of myself but Nana will watch me a couple of days next week. Bacon well he’s like a little kid as mom described it. He doesn’t take being by himself too well and Nana can’t watch him while she has her hands full with me and her two pooches. So, mom/dad called the farm where Bacon went to camp last year. They have other anipals that Bacon had a blast with and that’s where he gets to go for his adventure. So, I’m sure he will have a blast. I hope so anyway. He did bring his computer so don’t fear about his correspondence.
And friends let’s talk about something that I keep seeing on the television all day long. Something that mom/dad and even Bacon have talked about. The presidential election. Shakes my doggy head.
Does anyone really enjoy all of this arguing and calling names? I really don’t. Why can’t we all just get along?
I’ve come up with a solution. Since people running are called politicians and we can’t really trust anything they say – barks! Why don’t I run for president? I think I have just about the same qualifications – you think? And look – mom took this picture of me over the weekend. Don’t you think it screams “Houdini for President”.
And of course, with that being said I have to leave you with another priceless Jokes with daddy video. The man does need to go out and play with others more. Shaking my head. Enjoy my friends. I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
I was a good boy I was. No, really I was. I was on my best behavior yesterday afternoon. My new pig sitter Hannah came over to visit and go over my schedule routine. I admit I wasn’t very snuggly – I’m trying to figure out if it’s time for me to hibernate or run. This weather has me all bent out of shape. But I did lay on the couch and listen to her and daddy. And she did pet my back a little bit. And yes. She stilled smelled like baby powder. Such a great smell!
Daddy went over everything with her – my feeding schedule, what foods I like, what television shows I can watch and my bedtime. He explained that mommy reads me a bedtime story every night and puts a treat on my pillow. You know Hannah laughed at him about that. I’m not sure why. Don’t all little piggies get bedtime stories and turn down service?
.
Hannah is suppose to come back to the Hotel Thompson bright and early Saturday morning in time for mom/dad to leave on their vacation. I know they will have fun and they promise to call me every day to check on things. Hannah seems nice enough. She’s just not the mommy. Can you tell I’m already missing mommy?
Of course the purr things here, Hemi and Mouse Girl, say that they are old pro’s at this kind of thing with mommy and daddy leaving. They say that I will get used to it…. I don’t think so. Here are mom’s instructions for Hannah. Do you think she missed anything?
This finding a pig sitter adventure is really tough! I don’t think mom or dad thought it would be this complicated. The date is getting closer! We keep hearing the clock – tick tock tick tock. I actually think mom was getting in panic mode.
Mom/dad had interviews again yesterday. I think we may have a winner. Keep your fingers crossed – I’m keeping my hooves crossed.
Each person is told the same thing. Mom/dad are looking for a pig sitter, someone that would be with me most of the time. With the exception of school, a date, etc. I have a schedule that needs to be maintained to my standards. That means, the individual gets free rent and food while they are here with me. AND, they are getting paid to keep me company, feed me and basically be at my beck and call. Snorts – okay well that’s how I took it anyway.
Interview 4 – Snorts – I don’t even really need to say anything here – NEXT. Okay, that’s not going to get it with you huh? You want details on this NEXT? Let’s just say the guy wore more make-up than mommy and had black fingernails. Uh-oh not going to happen. N.E.X.T. This guy scared me more than any of the stories of my 31 Days of Spook. I jumped off the sofa and RAN to my bedroom squealing. I even slammed the door. I would have locked it if I could have reached the door knob. That was scary!
Interview 5 – We have a WINNER!!
After much encouragement – darn this pot belly – I came out for interview 5. I’m glad I did. Her name is Hannah and she is heaven. She smelled like baby powder and had the prettiest smile. I immediately walked up to her and I didn’t scare her. What? A taker? I jumped on the couch and again it didn’t startle her. She petted me and I got a little bit closer. She talked to mom/dad and petted me with the softest hands. I think I’m in love. She was my Hannah. She didn’t even cringle when mom went over the details of taking care of me. You know, like cleaning my box, cooking for me and playing with me. Oh WOW! So, when are mom/dad going away? I have an angel that’s going to take care of me my friends. I can’t wait.
Okay – I’m going to have my extra cute on for Sunday. Just like in this picture, I can’t be nice too. Just look closer, I let Hemi sleep on top of me.
Mom says I have to bring out all of the stops for hopefully what will be the last interviews Sunday. There are two scheduled. Please wish me luck and send every possible good vibe my way. I gotta find someone.
Mom told me to list the points I wanted in a pig sitter so I thought I’d give a shot.
Nice personality.
I would prefer a woman but the right man would do.
Loves pigs. This is a must.
Will love on me. This means cuddles on the sofa, keeping me warm and rubbing my belly and back.
Knows how to tell a bedtime story. What? This is highly important to my list since mommy does it every night. And might I add, don’t forget my strawberry on my pillow.
Knows how to cook an awesome spinach omelet… or pancake. This is what I get on the weekends. Salads are easy enough to throw together and who can mess up my Cheerios for breakfast? OOOHH, and don’t forget one that knows how to pop popcorn the old fashioned way – the way that was meant to be on the stove without burning it. eeww – no one wants burned popcorn.
Someone that kind of keeps to the television schedule that dad has accustomed me to during the week. Not a high demand because I can always go to my room and use my own television but that cuts out on some snuggle time.
These aren’t ‘high’ demands. I mean, mom/dad are paying them to take care of and be my beck and call sitter, right? So basically you’re telling them it’s all about this domesticated down to earth highly educated oinker, right? Let’s just hope they look at the situation the same way as me – snorts.
I’ll keep you posted. Keep your fingers, paws and hooves crossed for me.
Yep, this is how I felt about pig sitting interviews 1, 2 and 3 – it was a HUGE snoozefest. Time is ticking away to find me a pig sitter so mom/dad scheduled three interviews yesterday at the Hotel Thompson. Who knew it would be so difficult to find a pig sitter – snorts.
I do admit though, the interviews were kind of funny. I thought I would share.
Each person is told the same thing. Mom/dad are looking for a pig sitter, someone that would be with me most of the time. With the exception of school, a date, etc. I have a schedule that needs to be maintained to my standards. That means, the individual gets free rent and food while they are here with me. AND, they are getting paid to keep me company, feed me and basically be at my beck and call. Snorts – okay well that’s how I took it anyway.
Interview 1 –
Nice young man in college. He had great potential… I thought. All for the free food, free rent. He didn’t even mind keeping me company. BUT, things went down rather fast when he was told he would have to clean up my potty box. As he put it, “Why couldn’t I use the outside.” Apparently he didn’t understand that I’m an inside piggy – NEXT
Interview 2 –
This was the most hilarious interview of the entire day. I actually squealed I was laughing so hard. Nice young woman. She came into the house, sat down and then saw me on mom’s lap sleeping. She had a fear on her face that was priceless. She thought the paper had a typo and should have said PUG as in a dog and not PIG. Snorts – She left. Apparently, she’s not used to dealing with such a fine domesticated pig – NEXT
Interview 3 –
This one also had great potential. Older lady in the neighborhood… kind of grandmotherly type. It would have been convenient to say the least. But, apparently she didn’t realize that there would be cooking for me. As she so bluntly put it, “Why can’t he just have pig feed like normal pigs?” Really? Do I ‘look’ like a normal pig?? – NEXT
So more interviews will be coming in the next couple of weeks. Time is getting down on us at this point. Is there anyone out there willing to take care of loveable, snuggable me? I’m having my doubts at this point.
Happy Monday my dear sweet friends. I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of rest and relaxation and lots of great food! We had a little bit of cooler weather here this weekend and I absolutely LOVED it. There’s just something about the coolness of the air that makes this little oinker want to run! I went out in the back yard with mommy and we played for a long time together. We took turns playing tag and chasing each other. I think I finally wore mommy out – snorts. She sat on the ground and that’s when I hit her like a football player. We just sat on the freshly cut grass, snuggled and baked in the sun. It felt good. I admit I liked it. But don’t go telling a lot of people okay. 🙂
I admit it went down hill after Saturday morning. Deviled ham came out and I got into trouble. I learned my lesson because yesterday I had to pay the time for the crime. I hate that – it interferes with my snuggle time with mommy. I don’t like it when mommy ignores me. But we made good yesterday afternoon. All is now well at the Hotel Thompson.
Today is the last day of September and the spooky month of October starts tomorrow. I wanted to give you a heads up about October. October is going to be a busy month for this little piggy.
I skyped a witch and she even saw me in her crystal ball. Even she knew I was up to something before mom and dad did. You see, I’m going to have 31 days of Spook on my blog. I’m personally going to highlight scary movies, television shows, legends, monsters and other things that go bump in the night. I might even quiz you on some of them so be prepared. Start brushing up on your trivia. I hope it will be fun for everyone.
Second off, the parents are trying to go to the beach in October so they are looking for a pig sitter for me. I’ve told them that I’m old enough that I don’t *need* a pig sitter but mommy is insisting. So they are taking interviews – snorts – this should be fun. I do hope they let me sit in for this so called interviews. I’d like to give my two cents on the unfortunate soul person they choose. I wonder what my witch friend that I skyped saw about this situation? Snorts. Of course, I will keep you posted.
So, happy last day of September my friends. Welcome to Spooky October! Evil snort
Miniature pot bellied pig and friends - Bacon, Houdini, Hemi and all of the Rock Clan with Journalist Rocky the Squirrel all out looking for adventures from the Hotel Thompson.
