May 4th finally got here! Today is Star Wars Day. I know these day brings out the geek in ALL of us. Bacon’s dad is so excited – like it was Christmas! Stars Wars Day is always on May 4th. Why do you ask? Because of the ever famous play on words, “May the Force (Fourth) by with you!”
Today is a day to channel your inner self – watch any of the Star Wars movies – heck why not have a marathon? That’s probably what Bacon’s parents are going to do here at the Hotel Thompson. Who is your favorite character? Favorite line? Why not dress up like your favorite character while having your marathon movie night? Learn some Star Wars trivia to play tonight. I even came up with some trivia for you to know so that you can awe all of your friends.
Star Wars Trivia To Impress Your Friends:
Did you know that Carrie Fisher, Sissy Spacek, Farrah Fawcett, Barbara Hershey, Bernadette Peters, Margot Kidder, Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver, Cybill Shepherd, Jane Seymour, Catherine Hicks, Kathleen Turner, Linda Blair, Pamela Sue Martin and Cindy Williams were some of the few that auditioned for the roll of Princess Leia?
Did you know that Luke Skywalker’s original name for the movie was Luke Starkiller?
Did you know that David Prowse from Bristol play the role on screen of Darth Vader and his Vader’s voice was done by James Earl Jones. The kicker was that Jones was so convinced the film was going to flop, he refused to allow his name in the original credits.
Did you know that Chewbacca was modeled after George Lucas’ dog, Indiana?
Did you know that Mel Blanc auditioned for the voice of C-3PO
And of course, we can’t leave Bacon’s mom out on this special day. I found a picture of Dark Vader just for her – chitter chatter. Have an awesome day friends – May the Fourth Be With You!
Dear Bacon – Busted! But I tell you, I was set up. Really I was. You see, I saw the two legged kid in the house outside the other day making what he called mud pies. I thought why couldn’t I make one? They look delicious. And trust me that kid was covered but no he didn’t get into trouble. I get out there and start making pies and the entire world is coming to an end. What do you think of that? Signed Pie Maker
Dear Pie Maker – Personally, I don’t think that is the kind of pies that you eat. Perhaps you can roll around in it to be cool – my kind has been doing that for years. But to eat – shakes piggy head no.
Dear Bacon – The humans left the house – check. Got my bath in – check. Got my robe on – check. Got my snacks – check. Got the remote – check. There I was preparing to watch my show on television, America’s Top Bitches, then it happened. The humans came back home early. What the cream cheese?! What did they expect I was going to do while they were out – lay on the floor and take a nap? Signed Comfy
Dear Comfy – I’m with you on that one my friend. If my humans came home during my show, they would just have to pull up, sit down and shut up until the show was done. I mean we are talking priorities here.
Dear Bacon – Help!? My humans they watch Star Wars way too much. This is how they are dressing me up for Halloween. Lord help me. One of my humans will be Darth Vader and the other Luke Skywalker. Then there’s me in the middle. The nerve of them to make me go out in this attire! Signed Princess Leia
Dear Princess Leia – I got a couple of things to say my dear. First – hubba hubba. I love that outfit on you – you are gorgeous. I’m sure the real Princess Leia is full of envy with the way you wear that hair. Second up – you have to admit that the costumes will be original and that’s awesome. Just think you will stand out among your peers. Everyone will want to be you. And you know for doing this, you will probably get extra treats. I say wear it with style and look on the bright side you gorgeous babe!
Dear Bacon – This is how we greet our human when he comes home from work. This just shows to him what we think of him as royalty by being his welcome committee. What do you think? Signed Two Statues
Dear Two Statues – It’s okay my friends. You can tell me. You really stay there when he comes home to remind him of the royalty YOU are and that it is feeding time. It will be our little secret and we won’t tell. Zip – not a word. I wish our stairs could support me on them… what am I talking about? We don’t have stairs – snorts!
Dear Bacon – This photobomb thing has gone too far. Every time I try to take a picture to post on my Pet Harmony account, this dog jumps in either behind, beside or in front. What am I to do? Signed Looking for Love
.
Dear Looking for Love – Shaking piggy head. You know my friend, brothers/sisters can be a pain in the rump in the house. Might I suggest you to post HIS picture on Pet Harmony. If he had a friend, he would surely leave you alone. That would give you more time to find you a mate.
Remember my dear friends that Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please keep sending your pictures and letters to my email address.

Dear Bacon – Do you need a kiss? Cause I’m here for YOU my sexy little piggy. When my human asked me what I wanted to be this year for Halloween, I knew. A kiss just for YOU. You help all of these people in the world and I want to help you. What do you say? You wanna dress up with me? Signed Chocolate Kisses
Dear Chocolate Kisses – What can I say? That’s a proposition that I just can’t turn down. And why would I, right? So I tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to get mommy to dress me up as a giant peanut butter cup … cause you know chocolate and peanut butter go together, right? I’ll keep you posted on my outfit okay. Until then, Happy Halloween.
♥
Dear Bacon – Why do humans want to dress us anipals up this time of the year? Can you answer that for me please. I mean I get it that they want to dress up, go door to door and have parties. But, why us anipals? Why do we have to get pulled in to their hysteria? Let us stay at home alone and do our thing. Cause what the humans don’t understand it that we will party our own way, am I right? Signed Ted in Disguise
Dear Ted in Disguise – AMEN! You said it perfectly. Yes I agree that the humans don’t understand that we will celebrate this Halloween holiday in our own right. Let them go out and do their thing – we will do our thing. Take for instance me. This little oinker has worked all month long on my 31 Days of Spook. By Halloween, I’m going to be exhausted and barely moving. When the humans go out for the night, I’m hitting the big bed, turning on the big television, setting the Select Comfort to around 65 and that’s where you will find me snoozing and snoring. Is it Halloween yet? Have fun on your night my friend. And let me tell you something – I think you are dressed up enough with those glasses. I love them!

Dear Comfy – I’m with you on that one my friend. If my humans came home during my show, they would just have to pull up, sit down and shut up until the show was done. I mean we are talking priorities here.
Due to Halloween, we are repeating some of our more hilarious letters. Hope you enjoy my sweet friends ❤
Dear Bacon – Who says that humans get to have all of the fun? Us anipals can appreciate a good movie too. For instance, one of the best movies ever made – can you guess it? Star Wars of course! I mean come on piggy – don’t you love it? The lights, the action, the fights, marrying Hans Solo – what is there not to like?! What do you think about the movie? And what is your favorite movie. You can tell me. Signed Princess Leia Kitty
Dear Princess Leia Kitty – Well I can see my friend from your outfit that you really, REALLY like to get into your character and enjoy your movies. I’m piggy enough to admit that I’ve never watched any of the Star Wars movies. Now before you hiss too loudly, remember I’m only 4.5. My dad hasn’t introduced me yet. But I can guarantee you that after I read him your letter, he will. Lucky me.
My favorite movie? Of course Charlotte’s Web. What’s not to like? Snorts and oinks!
Dear Bacon – I know you have a pesky cat at the Hotel Thompson. I have one here too. Shaking my head. Why are cats so evil? They say their misunderstood. Barks – as if. They have the humans completed snowed – completely! Us anipals know the truth. You see, our humans were at work. The pesky fur ball got onto the coffee table, looked at me and started to push the bowl of flowers towards the end of the table. I was like NO! – but of course why listen to me – I’m just the dog as he puts it. As he knocked the bowl off the table, I couldn’t help it with my expression and of course the turd took my picture. Guess who got blamed for it? Yep, moi. Because we all know the cute little kitty would never do such a thing. Help me my friend. Signed OMD!
Dear OMD! – That pesky no good for nothing flea bag! Yes I understand your situation completely. Hemi here thinks he is the master and does things very similar. Like smacking me hard on the fanny when no one is looking and when I try to take a nip at him squealing to the high heavens. Heck, I wasn’t going to eat him – I was cleaning him… yeah that’s the story. So you see, I know your pain. I think perhaps your little friend should have some payback. Call me – I’m sure we can come up with something like honey or peanut butter accidentally of course being left out for him to be covered in… or maybe a swift bath in the toilet. What? I would never hurt kitty – nope not at all 🙂
Dear Bacon – We have this cool thing in our hood called doggy daycare. It is like the total bomb in the summer! The bus comes to our house, picks us up and takes us on field trips and play dates and the doggy facility. OMD! I so highly recommend this. We go twice a week and this is our picture from the bus – it’s so cool. This was our “we aren’t doing anything-sweet-and-innocent” looks on the way home. Dude, you gotta check it out and see if they have one in your hood. Signed Summer Fun
Dear Summer Fun – Oh my piggy heavens! That sounds like so much fun for sure! You get out, your humans get a break and you make lots of friends and see things all over. Oh my gosh! I’m so green with jealous. I gotta check this out. Thanks my friends for letting me know of this awesome experience. I wanna go on field trips too!
Dear Bacon – We were set up! We found several notes in the woods saying there was going to be a party here at the house and that cover charge was a buck. We came but we were set up – there was no party! The room was dark and no one was at home. What a joke! We were hoping for a great time and a full keg. Should we stand here until someone comes home? Signed Buck Party
Dear Buck Party – OMP! The cover charge was a buck? Shaking my piggy head. Oh my friends – you were definitely set up on this one. I’m so sorry but in a way you have to admit it was kind of funny. Should you stand there until the family comes back? Probably not. I wouldn’t want to see what they have in store for you if you do. I say chalk this one up to experience and keep tracking the woods to see if the familiar smell of the person that set you comes back.
Take care my friends.
Remember friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to email me your letters and pictures.

And of course, we can’t leave Bacon’s mom out on this special day. I found a picture of Dark Vader just for her – chitter chatter. Have an awesome day friends – May the Fourth Be With You!
Okay – maybe a little joke. You see mommy was at work yesterday. One of her bosses came up to her and said, “Look, it’s getting rough outside, go ahead and leave”. Now, it was only 15 minutes early (doh!) but mom packed up and went outside expecting the worse.
That’s when she had to look hard to find the “weather is getting worse” statement one of her bosses made. Okay, there was some white stuff on the windows of the Jeep. But who knows, that could have been a handful of salt – snorts with piggy laughter.
Mom just *had* to take a picture to show everyone in blogville that snow does happen here in the south. Okay, not so much snow but it can happen. What was even funnier is that mom posted this picture of the ‘great snow’ on her Facebook account and sent this picture to friends and family. Everyone thought it was much more funnier that here it is winter time and mom is wearing a thin t-shirt than the great snow – 🙂 LOL. What can I say, my mom is hot stuff and always wears t-shirts year round. Funny huh? Do you wear t-shirts year round too? Are you a warm bodied person like my mom?
I also wanted to share this picture I found on the ‘cloud’ here at the Hotel Thompson that my mom/dad took over the weekend. Shaking piggy head. I tell you my friends. Those two parents of mine can not be trusted to go out and about by themselves.
Daddy got held up at the Target store! Look at that – the proof is in the picture. Nice Mr. Storm Trooper kept saying, “Hans Solo”, and daddy thought he was talking about his hands being solo. I told you – my dad is special – in the mind!
Just by looking at daddy and his attire, can you guess what football team he likes? Is it obvious?
And I thought I would share a little something else I found on the ‘cloud’. Apparently daddy was telling jokes in the car the other day too. So let me present – “Jokes with Daddy”. Let me just apologize in advance okay. Snorts with piggy laughter.
Bacon’s dad here. This year at the Hotel Thompson it seems like that little pest Don Juan has been up in all of our business causing havoc to the extreme. I’ve had my share of being at the receiving end of his antics. Especially when he got into our On Demand account and was trying to watch elf porn – he had my wife believing I had done that. No way! Who needs that stuff when I have my beautiful jewel of a wife in my life, right? ❤
I have to tell you the force awakened me last night in an awesome dream. I absolutely love Darth Vader – he’s so cool! I have a magnificent set of action figures that I have collected over the years from Star Wars. They are with my wife’s collection of Barbie Dolls. Well last night, I dreamed that I was Darth Vader and of course my storm trooper brought me the elf. And well let’s just say this picture tells you what I did with Don Juan – HA HA HA!
Dear Bacon – What the cream cheese is going on here? My master – he gave me this cute little contraption that had me playing with it for hours at a time. Then one day, a crack in its matter happened. The next thing I knew, the toy jumped on my face and wrapped around it. What the heck? Signed Clash of the Toy
Dear Clash of the Toy – Well, on one hoof my friend you look like a character for the new Star Wars movie. 🙂 That’s gotta be kind of creative and fun right there alone. Maybe your owner could take you to opening day and show you off – you would probably get lots of cuddles, pets and perhaps some popcorn? And what do they say… if it fits you must commit – snorts with piggy laughter.

Dear Bacon – I just want to show you that with the presidential elections coming up, I’m putting my paws out for a front man that I can stand beside. Someone that just screams my name. Someone that has maybe a better come over than I do. Someone that you can mention their name by just looking at me. What do you say little pig – can we count on your vote? Signed Make America Great Again
Dear Make America Great Again – You know my friend, I’ve heard of that motto before. Okay maybe not personally but I’ve heard it on presidential breakdowns from the past. For some reason, I just don’t think it means the same as what you are making it out to be. But hey what am I to say, right? When you stand behind your candidate, you really go all out!
Dear Bacon – I am not amused. There i said it. NOT AMUSED. There I was just swimming minding my own business. Believe it or not, I wasn’t even bothering the humans who were by the way in my water. I just kept swimming. Then one of the blokes whose leg I was swimming in/out of had the nerve to reach down and pick me up like I was a mere puppy. For real? Doesn’t he have anything to do besides pick on us little folks? And just as a reminder to him, I will remember his scent. Cause you know when I get bigger, it might be ME picking him UP out of my waters if you know what I mean. Signed Bruce
Dear Bruce – I think I would have passed. I mean really. You are nearly as long as me and way bigger than the little guy here Houdini. And you are right. He was in your waters – in your backyard if you will. He should have known better. Don’t take what he did out on all humans. There are some really good ones out there. You just go and be nice to peeps okay. No hard feelings right?
Dear Bacon – Bath time is always awesome at my crib. I go back and forth in/out of the tub getting all of my minions lined up around the tub. Then my mom gets my bubble bath ready. That’s when I get in the tub and have my meeting with my minions just letting them know how they have been doing and what is expected of them as my ‘toys’. It’s a great meeting that I highly recommend every couple of weeks – you know to keep everyone in line. Signed Minion Master
Dear Minion Master – Hey dude, that is an awesome idea. Having meetings with your toys to let them know what you expect of them. Brilliance. I never thought about that. I think I will put that into plan here at the Hotel Thompson STAT and let my toys know exactly who is in charge and of their play schedule. Thanks my friend – happy bubble bath!
Dear Bacon – Sometimes when days get you down and it seems like life is on one continuous downfall, you have to take matters into your own paws. I had one of those *weeks*. I went to my favorite bar and told the bartender to hit me with a double shot of leche on the rocks. Then I sat there and purred my problems out for the guy. I tell you something oinker – those bartenders, they know how to listen. After getting it out and off my chest, I felt so much better. Signed Puss in Boots
Dear Puss in Boots – Hey my friend, sometimes you just gotta let it go – get it off your chest – sing to your people and let things go. It sounds like you did all of that and you are on the right pathway to enlightenment now. Don’t keep it in my friend. That leads to bigger problems down the road. Now I’m thinking a double shot of leche sounds awesome myself. Cheers!
REMEMBER my friends. Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your pictures and letters via my email.

Dear Comfy – I’m with you on that one my friend. If my humans came home during my show, they would just have to pull up, sit down and shut up until the show was done. I mean we are talking priorities here.
Dear Bacon – Help!? My humans they watch Star Wars way too much. This is how they are dressing me up for Halloween. Lord help me. One of my humans will be Darth Vader and the other Luke Skywalker. Then there’s me in the middle. The nerve of them to make me go out in this attire! Signed Princess Leia
