Sunshine Award – Thanks – Thanks – Thanks!

Saturday, April 27, 2013, I was sitting all snuggly with mom on the couch.  She was watching crime stories and writing while I was snoring.  I got a ding on my i-Pad stating I got a message on my blog here.  I immediately woke up because these are very, VERY important to me.  When my friends leave messages, I have to check immediately and respond.  It’s what I do. 

Do you know how surprised and tickled I was that I got a message stating that I got an award!  I started snorting so loud that mom stopped writing to see what I was excited about.  Then she started snorting!  No – PLOL (piggy laughing out loud), she was thrilled too.  I am so very, very thankful!  This piggy LOVES awards. 

My friends over at http://barktime.wordpress.com (Agata, Lilly, Bunk, Ode and Mr Ginger) sent me the Sunshine Award.  I can’t say thank you enough for thinking of me.  I am so in awe and touched.  Big giant hogs and kisses from the Baconator!!!

Questions about me – the pig – snort snort

1. Do I sleep the entire night?  Yes, I do.  Every since I was 3 weeks old when mom adopted me, I sleep the entire night.  I will only wake mommy up if the midnight munchie monster wakes me up.
2. What is my favorite television show? Green Acres – what?
3. Are pigs dirty?  Nope.  Just the opposite.  This little piggy likes clean. 
4. Do I like sports?   I love sports.  I have a long line of ancestors that played in football. 
5. What is my favorite food/snack?  I can’t just pick one.  Watermelon, Cheerios or strawberries – yum
6. How fast can I type?  Well, I’m not as fast as mom because I don’t have fingers.  My hooves tend to slow me down.  But, I can type faster than some.  You know – practice, practice and practice.
7. Am I a friendly pig?  I am friendly to people but I’m also a little on the shy side with first meeting people.  On the other hand, I’m also a one pig person.  I love my mommy and I’m very possessive over her.
8. Do I get along with the other fur things at the Hotel Thompson?  Yep, we all get along.  We love to chase and play with other through the halls and rooms.
9. What do I have in my que on Netflix?  I have all kinds of shows on my Netflix.  I love mysteries, crime shows and ghost shows – oh my! 
10. Do I like to be held?  If I jump on the couch and snuggle beside mommy, I love to be gently squeezed and loved on.  I don’t particularly like to be picked up anymore.  It’s scary for a pig when their hooves don’t touch the floor.

In the Morning, I’m…

 

You finish the sentence for yourself.  What would you say?  In the morning, I’m __________.  Are you cranky?  Are you snuggly?  Are you sleepy or any of the other seven dwarfs? 

I suppose I’m several things. 

First, In the morning, I’m mom’s alarm clock.  I wake up and make little chirpy noises and I snort.  I snort LOUD to wake mom up.  Did you know that she hasn’t had to set an alarm in over a year because of my kind nature in waking her up?  Amazing isn’t it?  A real live alarm clock.  I know you want one too.

Second, In the mornings I’m hungry.  Oh yeah – news flash there huh?  Don’t laugh.  Stop.  I can see you laughing – LOL.  I gotta have my piggy chow and cheerios.  After that, my hunger is gone for at least a little while. 

Then, In the morning, I’m snuggly cuddly.  Momma says so.  I jump on the sofa with mom, curl up next to her legs and she wraps us in our blankie.  We watch the morning news together.  Okay, well I usually fall back to sleep with mom stroking my back but I’m still snuggy.

Fourth of all, before mom goes to the worky place, in the mornings, I’m doing the piggy potty dance.  I’m sure you can relate to the human potty dance.  I run to my potty patch and take care of my business.  Afterwards, mom puts me in bed, kisses me good day and I crash for a couple of hours.

So, you tell me – In the mornings, I’m ____ ?
