Bacon’s mom here. Don Juan is now considered a bratty elf beyond any kind of help. So he sends my picture to Santa that’s great. But did he have to send my picture via Playboy magazine? You can’t lie Don Juan. The proof was in yesterday’s posting that Bacon did. We won’t even discuss how much Bacon charged on daddy’s credit card to get back all of those magazines. Shakes my head.
And now you have way overstepped your boundaries here at the Hotel Thompson.
Messing with the kids is one thing. Messing with the husband is another thing. But messing with my collectible Barbie dolls – shaking head. That’s where I have to draw the line.
When I took a nap yesterday – cause Lord knows we can’t sleep at night with that freak running around rapid – I dreamed of my favorite Super Hero – Wonder Woman and what she would do with that freakzoid with her lasso of truth – giggles. We should only know how he felt about being tied up by my number one hero – HA!
Bacon’s mom here. Thank goodness it is almost over and done with and that little fleabag called Don Juan can go back into hiding. He has been mischievous beyond belief this year and we are all just sick of it here at the Hotel Thompson. Messing with the kids is one thing. Messing with the husband is another thing. But messing with my collectible Barbie dolls – shaking head. That’s where I have to draw the line.

Hello my sweet friends. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I know we did here at the Hotel Thompson. Heck, it was just plain awesome having mom home from the worky place. Did we eat too much here? Barks! Nah – do you believe that? It was like an all day food paradise. We had a blast!
And today – what do we have planned for today? Aaww – I have plans for me – for Petsmart. All of those toys – All of that food – All of those treats.
I think I can get mom to go… I think. I’ve left so many notes laying around the Hotel Thompson. I even hid all of my food and clothes to make her think that I have nothing left. That way, she thinks I need everything STAT.
And the other anipals, they gave me their lists of what they want and need. So, I’m good. I think they are going to persuade mom/dad too of a much needed trip to our toy store… I mean Petsmart. Wish us luck my friends.
Oh and to keep you held over, mom/dad did buy me a toy a couple of weeks ago. Oh my dog!! Mom says that I might love that toy a little much. What do you think?
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
HA – BARKS! Mommy said that this was the cutest tail that she has even seen – barks with puppy laughter. Sorry Bacon and daddy – I gotta cute butt – what can I say?! Okay I have to admit that in this picture, daddy had my upmost attention. You can tell by the way I’m standing – the position of my cute tail and my one ear standing up. Daddy was actually giving me a treat. Just ignore dad’s holey shirt – barks! Mommy says that his around the house shirt only. And you know, this pooch will take as many and any kind of treats he can get.
And Bacon take notice of my t-shirt. HA! I know – I know. I probably should not have gotten it but it was so darn cute. And I gotta pick on my bro – if I don’t, who will, right? Okay maybe Hemi will by slapping him on his hiney with his huge paw – now *that* is something I never get tired of watching. Talk about amusement here around the Hotel Thompson.
And today is an awesome day my friends. Do you know what today is? I mean more than just being the obvious Friday? Today is the last day at work for my mom. She starts her holiday when she leaves work today. YES – DO A LITTLE DANCE – HAPPY DANCE. Nine entire days with having mommy at the Hotel Thompson. I’m so excited I may wee myself!
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
WHO do I need to talk to my friends? This weather is horrible. It has been raining so much that I’m not sure which of us is more done with, me, mom, dad or Bacon. And to top it off, it’s cold. Not freezing cold but chilly willy for this little camper. I’ll tell you a secret of how cold it is – come closer – some days I don’t even get out of my onesie – that’s how cold it is. Can you imagine?!
And one night this week, mom came home from the worky place and was cold and tired. After she put on her onsie, she cuddled up on her chaise to relax. I drug my lobster bed all the way from my bedroom to the fireplace. Then I jumped on the chaise with mom to watch the fire. She laughed cause she was like all of that work and I’m going to sit with mom now? Nah, I’m a smart doggie. I was letting the fire from the fireplace take the chill off my bed and make it all nice and toasty for me. See, who’s the smart one now huh? After a few minutes, I went and got in that toasty bed. I was so snug and warm!
Hopefully, it’s suppose to be a pretty weekend here – cold but no rain – so maybe I can go out with mom/dad for a ride. I feel a field trip to the local pet store coming on for me. I haven’t destroyed any pillows in a while – barks!
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Dear Bacon – Now sometimes when people meet at the park they give hugs. Sometimes when dogs or cats meet at the park, they sniff butts. Hey, it’s what we do, right? Well we have had enough of the butt sniffing. A group of my friends have decided that hugs are the new hello in the dog world. Maybe you should join us in our new mission. Signed Hugs
Dear Hugs – That sounds like a game plan my new friends. I never got the butt sniffing thing for hello anyway. Heck, I’ve smelled what comes out of my dad’s butt. No way in this piggy world I want to sniff it to say hello. Carry on the great work and I’ll be doing my part for the cause in giving hugs not butt sniffs!
Dear Bacon – I have drawn the line. Mom always tells me I’m her little flower. Now she is trying to make me her little flower. Help. Signed Bud in Progress
Dear Bud in Progress – I know it seems weird and it is. But you gotta think on the other paw of this. If it makes your human happy and she is daunting on you and giving you snacks, does it really matter? You have found the pot at the end of the rainbow.
Dear Bacon – We are family. Our humans wanted a Christmas card this year showing our family. We said okay but we wanted to pose as we wanted to pose – no help from the humans. So what do you think? Do you think this screams We Are Family in our Christmas Card? Signed Family
Dear Family – Way to go my friends – Bravo! Bravo! That picture screams family, diversity, togetherness and being united as one. What more could you do? I have to ask – that picture “looks” like you all get along and are so close. Are you? Or was this a snap-this-picture-now-before-I-hurt-someone kind of picture? Cause I’m telling you, you are pulling it off. Great card – don’t forget to send me one here at the Hotel Thompson.

Dear Bacon – We are buddies and sometimes secret hero’s. Really, this is us clowning around during the night. But during the day, we are the Pig and the Hare Hero’s. We visit children’s hospitals and bring smiles to the faces we meet. We highly recommend it. Signed Hero’s at Large
Dear Hero’s at Large – OMP! You are certainly right my friends. You are HERO’s. Not all hero’s have to wear capes or have special talents. Although I have to admit that you do have special powers of bring smiles to the faces that need it most. Carry on my cute duo!
Dear Bacon – Can you believe this? There I was sitting back, relaxing and minding my own business. My human said that he needed socks and to get out of his drawer. What? First up human, mind who you are talking to and second, you should have thought about socks before you left your drawer open inviting me. I think you should go without socks today because I’m not moving. Move me or reach around me and you may be wearing a sock over your bandage. What bandage? They bandage from the boo-boo I will leave on your arm. Carry on now and be gone. Signed Sock Keeper
Dear Sock Keeper – You know you do have a great point there my friend. They should have thought about that when they left the drawer open. Snorts – don’t do anything I wouldn’t do in that drawer.
Remember my friends – Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Please continue to send me your pictures and questions to my email address.
Awesomesauce – yep I said it – AWESOMESAUCE. Last week I told you that I think I was going to the V.E.T. Remember? Well I was wrong – barks! And that’s a great and wonderful thing. Nope, mom and dad took me for a walk in my stroller instead. Now that I can deal with any day of the week. We went up the street to a football stadium and we walked all over the parking lot. Mom said it was for exercise for her and dad. I was good with that. I got pushed around and enjoyed the sun and air outside. And did I mention the people we ran into that went all goo-goo all over me? That was awesome! Mom/dad thought I needed some time with them outside. Afterwards, I played in my back yard for a while with Bacon.
I have an admission to make this week. They say that admission is the first step to owning up to something that you did. So here it goes. I’m a pillow chewer. Sigh – it’s out there now. You see, I’ve destroyed three pillows off of the couch. Not all at one time. Oh no, that would be wrong. I took my time one pillow at a time. You see they have zippers – zippers that are all shiny and calling my name. So when dad doesn’t look or pay me any attention, the pillows attack me. I have to protect myself, right? So I chew the zippers out. One.pillow.at.a.time. Mom is not happy to say the least. She said that she is going to have to sew those pillows without zippers. And don’t think I didn’t get in trouble. I did. Mommy ignored me and put me in timeout. Can you imagine that? Being ignored with no cuddles? Mom told me she loved me but destroying pillows is a major NO-NO…. especially she said when I have so many toys. Shaking puppy head. I was wrong. I know that now. So my friends, what can I do to get back on mom’s good side? Suggestions?
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Barks my friends! Another week gone and tomorrow is the BIG day – HALLOWEEN! We can’t wait. We are going to celebrate the way mom did when growing up. We are all going to bundle up in the big bed with popcorn and watch scary movies. I think we are all excited just to be together. I’m sure we will all be snoring before the first show ends – barks!
But I did dress up in my costume. Our local pet store had a dress up party and I went last night. It was so much fun! I got to strut myself around in my Captain America outfit and be a Super Hero for a while. They had puppy treats and treat bags for anipals that I got to bring home. Score one for the little puppy huh? This is a picture that mom took of me in my outfit. If you look closely, I’m smiling and you can see my teeth. Dad says I’m Captain America but mom says with those two front teeth showing, I could be VAMPIRE Captain America – BARKS! Mom/dad say we have lots of errands to do this weekend. One of those errands they say I have to go with them. The way they said it, it didn’t sound good. I’m thinking this weekend might be the V.E.T. thing they keep spelling out around me. They don’t understand that us anipals know these key important words that they like to spell. I’m hoping I’m wrong about the V.E.T. but the way daddy keeps saying it with a grin in his voice, I don’t think so. I’ll keep you posted.
And my friends, I have a special treat for you today. All of us anipals and even the rock clan have been working on a project to help end 31 Days of Spook. We put together a little something and we hope that you enjoy it my friends.
Dear Bacon – When they humans are away, the Kung Fu Fighting comes out to play. This kitty was “Kung Fu Fighting” – go ahead you can sing and dance with me. I won’t tell anyone. “Those kicks were fast as lighting. In fact, it was a little bit frightening – But they fought with expert timing.” Signed Funky Chinatown
Dear Funky Chinatown – Awesome! What a way to start a Dear Bacon issue. Love that song. It’s one of mine and dad’s favorites. Heck, you should see dad put on his headband and go to town – he’s got the moves like Jagger! But don’t worry, you’re moves are tops!
Dear Bacon – I may look like a super dog but really I’m not. I’m waiting at the driveway for my super hero to get home from school. When he gets off the bus, I give him the cape. In my eyes, he will *always* be my super hero regardless of how old. Do you have a super hero Bacon? Signed Side Kick
Dear Side Kick – Let me tell you something my friend, you are not only the bestest Side Kick ever – you are my hero. ❤
Dear Bacon – Make it stop. Why. Why do we have to be punished like this and given these drownings? Why can’t I just stay dirty? Signed Soaking Wet
Dear Soaking Wet – Aaaww – little guy. I’m sorry you feel this way. Let me explain something to you. Your humans love you. They really do and it doesn’t seem like it but me trust on this okay. If they didn’t love you, they would’t bathe you and take care of you. You know – you wouldn’t have your forever home. And here at the Hotel Thompson, if your clean guess what. You get to snuggle in the big bed. Is that the rule there too? If so, go ahead and get it over with so you can get some bonding time. Baths don’t take forever. Close those puppy dog eyes and roll in some water my friend!
Dear Bacon – My human. All mine. I don’t share. This is my human’s hand. I will hold it and hug it and call it mine. All mine. Signed George
Dear George – I say go for it my furry friend. I would gladly give you my hoof as well – you look way too cuddly! That’s one lucky human for sure!
Dear Bacon – The shock! It was amazing! We couldn’t believe it! It was like a train wreck and we couldn’t move away from the window. What we saw Old Man McDonald doing to Mrs. McDonald – WOW! He is one lucky man. Oh, you’re asking what? Come closer and we will whisper it to you. He was doing the dishes for her! I know! Shocking huh? A man in the kitchen doing the dishes. We all almost passed out too! Signed the Farm Hands
Dear Farm Hands – What the pig!? I’m so showing this to daddy. WOW! Yes you are right. That Mrs. McDonald is one lucky lady for sure!! Let me know if you see anything else.
Remember my friends, Dear Bacon can’t happen without YOU. Keep your letters and pictures coming – sent them to me on my email 🙂
REMEMBER FRIENDS – We can’t have Dear Bacon issues without YOU. Keep your pictures and questions coming to me via email 🙂
I love Christmas!! Last week was really hectic here at the Hotel Thompson. Mom and dad had parties to attend, people to visit and lists to make. One night, mom came home to a package on the door step. I just *knew* it was for me – snorts.
Mom brought it in and I helped to open it up. OMP (oh my pig!) This was totally unexpected. I got a package from my brother from another mother – Easy at http://easyweimaraner.wordpress.com/ Talk about excitement and tail wagging. I almost took flight right there in the Hotel. ♥
Play toys – which might I add the purr things went crazy for. Which I was kind of glad because it kept them away from me for just a tad bit so I could look at my SUPER HERO shirt – thud! Finally, I can be a SUPER HERO – Spider Pig. And mom, she’s such a softy. In the upper right hand of the picture, there is a book on piggies. There are some of the cutest little darlings in that book. Mom boo-hooed like a little girl oohh and aaww over the piggies. It is a great and wonderful coffee table book. In fact, mommy took it to work to put on her office table.
This time of the year has been made so special to me. Thanks my brother for thinking of me and the others here at the Hotel Thompson. And as your card stated, I really wish we could have Christmas together. Perhaps one year 🙂
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.
