Sometimes you hear about something on the news that totally blows your mind away. Some of you may know, we watch a lot of paranormal shows here at the Hotel Thompson. That’s something that intrigues us. In watching these shows, you get to know some of the people that you see. And with social media the way it is these days, you even get to chat with these people from time to time. You may not have met in real life but like people here on the blog or on Facebook, you become friends.
Mom spoke to one of these friends a couple of weeks ago when she posted that she and her husband were separating. Of course, we never know the circumstances from any marriage, behind any closed door or what takes place between a couple. You don’t throw judgement, you support the decision and try to help.
Yesterday morning, the estranged husband kidnapped his wife and held her hostage in Nevada. There was a police stand off and SWAT was called to the scene. The husband not only ended up killing his wife and himself, there was also a third person whose name has not been released yet.
This situation has just touched my heart so hard and I had difficulty sleeping last night from thinking about it all. After doing some research on line, I saw that there was some difficulties in the relationship since earlier this year and one or the other was charged with domestic violence on two different situations. It still doesn’t make sense why it needed to come to this. What did it solve? You have the family and the public/fans of the couple just questioning why? It makes sense if you are having difficulty in a relationship to move on and give each other some breathing room. Why did it have to escalate not to 1 but 3 deaths is just unimaginable.
Friends and visitors to my blog, if you are in a relationship with domestic violence, please get help. Don’t stay. Don’t be a statistic. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. I know that’s easier said than done. And I know that none of us know the exact circumstances to this case and that there are always two sides to every story. But please get and be safe. Life is too short and precious.

Dear Bacon,
This is my big brother Hercules. Every day, he lets me sleep on him. He protects me and keeps me warm. Do you have a Hercules at the Hotel Thompson that does that for you? Signed Tiny the Piggy
Dear Tiny the Piggy,
That is totally awesome that you have a friend like Hercules. I don’t have a Hercules but mommy does kind of do for me what he does for you. It’s totally awesome to have that kind of relationship. Take care of you my little porky friend!

Dear Bacon,
I don’t know why the humans got so upset over this picture. They kept calling Polly, the kitty here. I kept telling them that I didn’t know where she was. For some reason, they didn’t believe me. Signed Hyde and Go Seek
Dear Hyde and Go Seek,
WOW. No idea where Polly is huh? Have you looked on the bed? Have you puffed your pillow lately? Has your pillow purred or meowed? That might be the first place to look my friend. Then again, if Polly didn’t want to be there, she wouldn’t be. In fact, she kind of looks comfy to me. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Carry on – 🙂

Dear Bacon,
I feel pretty – so pretty. Sometimes you just have to stop in life, lay down and smell the daisies. These are some of my favorite moments. You ever get to do this? Signed Pondering Bear
Dear Pondering Bear,
You’ve got a point there my friend. Life does go really fast sometimes and you need to stop and smell the daises… which happen to be my mom’s favorites. It’s good to take a breath and remember what you have and who you are. I say continue on being pretty my friend. Enjoy the smell of the daisy and the heat from the sun.

Dear Bacon,
All aboard the school bus – woof. My humans found this party bus outfit and got it for me. I’m kind of digging it. You want to come aboard the party bus little guy? Signed Corki in Charge
Dear Corki in Charge,
That is totally awesome! I absolutely love the little friends you have in your bus. It does look like a party bus too. Beep-beep Let’s have some fun my friend. Everyone sing with me now, “The wheels on the bus go round and round. The people on the bus go up and down. The driver on the bus says move on back.”

Dear Bacon,
Can you believe that the humans make me carry my own back pack when we go out for day trips? Why do I have to carry my diaper bag? Can’t they? Signed Tyke
Dear Tyke,
Aaww – you really cute with your back pack my friend. It looks like it was just made for you. There’s no worries on carrying it. Sometimes my mom makes me carry my pack with me as well. I look at it as helping her out. Thing of it that way as to what a big bunny you are now to be helping out the humans. That’s awesome! And I’ll tell you something. When I carry mine, mom usually puts me some treats in there. That’s always a good thing!
