Go ahead, I know you sung those words in your head. Admit it. I’m okay with it. I won’t tell anyone whatsoever – snort.
Mom is *always* telling me that I have the cutest little derriere. I have to kind of agree to that. Although personally, I do believe my tail is slighly off centered… just a bit. Not that I spend too many long hours in my bedroom looking at my captains quarters in the mirror. I mean that would be weird, right? PLOL (Pig Laughing out Loud).
Now you want to see my behinney, don’t you. To see what I’m talking about.
Look at the picture and see what you think of my captains quarters.
My tail is slightly to the right a bit before it curves down. Do you see it? I mean as far as tails go, that is a striking tail. Very long, nice little white fur at the end that is braidable – not that I would know anything about that.
And trust me, when I’m happy I can make that tail go! It swings so fast back and forth, that mom tells me I’m going to take off flying. See, it’s true – pigs with enough thrust can fly!
Thoughts on my back side? Please share – this oinker needs a pick me up on his body image.
Welcome my friends to Wags and Waves for Forrest Day! This day was put together by our Auntie Sharon of Gentle Stitches. It’s a day created to help our friends Fozzie and her family at All Fur One and One Fur All in the loss of their anipal Forrest (06/06/2003 – 04/27/2016) who is now an angel watching over all of us here.
Today, we are wagging and waving our tails as a tribute to a great guy in support of his family who is going through a rough time – as you can imagine.
Please my friends – I hope that you support the cause and do a posting on your blog today for this cause. And if you get a chance, go visit Fozzie at All Fur One and One Fur All and let them know you are thinking of them. You can also use this awesome badge that Sammy from One Spoiled Cat created.
And here we are my friends – our participation to Wags and Waves for Forest Day. We know pal that you are watching over our Mouse Girl. ❤
Barks my friends! I do hope your week is going well. Today I wanted to share with you some of my favorite toys. No, I couldn’t just pick 1 as my favorite so I’m giving you the top 4. Thankfully mom took all of these pictures at the store when she bought them for me at different times.
First up is tuggin’ tail pig. Isn’t he awesome? ❤ He reminds me of Bacon somewhat… okay maybe not at all except that he’s a pig – barks! This one was a neat toy. You see mom/dad would hold the tail and I would attack the ball in the mouth of the pig… which seems kind of weird because all I could think of was it should have been an apple – ha!
This tuggin’ tail pig was awesome – did you pick that up above? I played with him and played with him and played with him. Then one day, the ball broke and the piggy lost his head. I’m not sure what happened. I think he spontaneously blew up. There was white stuff everywhere on the floors of the Hotel Thompson. But tuggin’ tail pig was a good pig. I think I had him for about a month – which was good all considering.
Then there was skunk road kill. He is cool. He even has tread marks across his belly showing where he has been run over by some vehicle. He is way cool and guess what – I still have him to toss around my kingdom here. Can you imagine the creator of this awesome toy? Riding down the street one day perhaps to work and sees road kill on the side of the road and says to himself, “WOW – that would make a great toy.” Barks! I think that would be hilarious.
Have you ever seen such a fantastic skunk? Of course, he reminds me of Peppy Le Pew but way better now – barks!
.
What do you think? Do you see the resemblance? Sure you do… look for the swooshy tail and white stripes – of course mine has tread marks on it – ha!
.
.
Then there is poochy. He is also awesome – notice his rope legs that attach to his body and have paws at the end. Mom/dad can hold a leg and I can grab the other legs for a festive tug of war challenge. He was almost my favorite… notice I said almost.
Poochy is now called Waddles… why? Because he has no legs. They were pulled off by another dog… looks innocent. What? Isn’t that what he was for? He still is a good dog. I play with his body… of course minus the legs now. I don’t have to worry about him running away from me – barks! I couldn’t pass that one up my friends.
And he knows his commands like sit and stay. Double barks.
But this leads us to my all time favorite toy.
.
Pirate Chicken. Oh my dogs! He is so very cool. You see I had a pirate chicken before. I loved him. He squeaks differently and there is just something about that peg leg that drives me crazy. He got destroyed right before we had the house renovation.
So mom/dad were shopping at the grocery store and finally found me a replacement. Barks and does happy dance!! I couldn’t believe that my favorite toy in the entire world was replaced. I run around the Hotel Thompson with it in my mouth, throwing it up in the air, attacking it and shaking it all around. It is totally awesome!
I feel like my entire life is complete now with the second coming of pirate chicken. Do you have any favorite toys that you can’t live without? Do share my friends.
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Snorts. That got your attention huh? After showing everyone my delectable little back side yesterday, there were some requests to see that tail movement in action. A couple of days ago, mom caught me running through the Hotel Thompson and took a little video. There two things I need to warn you about in this video.
1 – mom has a real southern twang; and,
2 – thankfully daddy has shorts on. Ha!
I hope you enjoy me in action doing what I do best. ❤️ These days it’s getting harder and harder for mom to catch me in action. You see I’ve gotten bigger which means I’ve gotten faster in disappearing. And, mom can catch me and hold the video camera at the same time – snorts. Happy viewing!
P.S. You also get to see that disgusting piggy gate that keeps me out of my goal – the kitchen and the ice box – snorts.
Go ahead, I know you sung those words in your head. Admit it. I’m okay with it. I won’t tell anyone whatsoever – snort.

Do you know what makes this piggy more excited than food – and that’s asking a lot? AWARDS! I get so excited about AWARDS. So much so that my long bushy tail non-stop wags like a helicopter fixing to take off. See – look at my rear end and tail – I’m a happy camper – snorts.
I’ve went through all of the awards that was on their page – can you believe they had 48!? Here are my three that I don’t have yet. If you my friends don’t have any of these, please also accept them to your blog with no link backs 🙂
My barky friend Easy over at http://easyweimaraner.wordpress.com/ ‘tagged’ me on the Tag Game. (Thanks my fellow four legged friend – high five paw/hoove and snout kisses). The tag game is kind of like getting an award without getting an award. I know it sounds complicated but it’s really not. Here’s the formula that I came up with:
No award = answer questions + ask questions = tag more peeps.
Make sense now? pig snorts – I always work better with a visual – 🙂
So here are the rules to the Tag Game –
Post these rules. √ DONE
Post a photo of yourself and 11 random facts about you. √ See Below
Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s photo. √ See Below
Create 11 new questions and tag new people to answer them. √ See Below
Go to their blog and let them know they’ve been ‘tagged’. √
Random Facts About “ME”… the amazing Bacon 🙂
I’m not really that ‘big’ like you see in the picture above. The couch sits low and the angle of the picture makes it look like I’m ginormous… but I’m not. I weigh a healthy 45 pounds which is really small compared to a regular pig that gets upwards 300 pounds!
My tail gives me away every.single.time. It’s such a magical item – my tail. When I’m happy, I wag it like no tomorrow. This happens when I eat, when mom calls my name or when I’m playing. When it doesn’t wag and is at half staff – snort – I’m not too happy. When it is at full staff, watch out because I’m fixing to potty – double snort.
I speak human and mom speaks pig. I know what she means when she tells me to go to my room, get ready for bed, get on the couch, come take a bath, etc. She’s my mom – 🙂 I speak mom 100%
Do you know how purr things and barky things mark items and get happy by rolling around on the floors? I do the same thing. Mom *always* laughs at me when I do that. She thinks it’s a hoot.
Just like regular ‘kids’, I have chores. I have to help clean my room and I have to help bring my laundry to the laundry room. And, I have to take care of Bashful – that’s almost a full time job!
I eat Cheerios for breakfast with my piggy chow every morning. It keeps me heart smart – what? A pig has to watch his heart and cholesterol too.
I eat a mixed salad every night for dinner with my piggy chow. See, I eat healthy to maintain these handsome figure.
One of my favorite all time snacks is popcorn. Just the buttery smell of it, the sizzle of the kernels in the oil on the stove and the ‘pop-pop-pop’ sound gets me running from my bedroom all the way to the kitchen at the Hotel Thompson. Mom always shares with me 🙂
One of my favorite television shows to watch on television is called Wipeout. I LOVE this show. I jump on the couch, snuggle in with mom and watch the entire hour. It’s hilarious! I highly recommend it. I think they need to have a celebrity Wipeout. That would be so much fun! Oh and by the way, it helps that I have a MAJOR piggy crush on Jill Wagner – hubba hubba
My Netflix account has a lot of ‘Who Done It” shows in the que. I love watching them as well on the ID channel (Investigative Discovery). It’s kind of like the old game Clue. I like to try to figure out who the culprit is before the end of the show. Sometimes I do – sometimes I don’t.
My favorite gameshow to watch on television is a tie between Jeopardy with Alex Trebek and Family Feud with Steve Harvey. They keep me on my toes. Of course, that is a post on its own for the very near future 🙂
Questions Asked of Me –
What’s the worst thing you had to eat? This is easy – kumquats – the most vile thing in the world! Supposedly in theory, they have a sweet skin that you eat as well as a tart pulp. Most pigs like them – I detest them. Mom so wishes she could have gotten a picture of my face when I bit into one that she gave me. My ears twitched up and she swears I made a face. It was disgusting. It’s the only thing that I have turned away food wise. Amazing, huh?
Do you like TV commercials? I love television commercials – especially from my buddy Maxwell. You know the famous man pig that does the Geico commercials. He is a happening dude my friends!
Have you ever wrote a love letter to a celebrity? Piggy blushes. Yes I did. I once wrote Miss Piggy a love letter telling her about my unswaying love for her. She never replied and ran off with that amphibian that calls himself Kermit. Love is so fickle my friends.
What’s your favorite movie? Don’t hate me when I say this but Muppet Twilight. Mom got all worked up over the Twilight series and I thought this was way better. Right?
Do you like car driving by night? I don’t personally drive but mom does. She *hates* driving at night. And well, I don’t really like going out with her at night because you see pigs have really bad vision to begin with. That and darkness doesn’t match. And okay, I’m a little – LITTLE – afraid of the dark. ssshh – don’t tell anyone.
What’s your favorite ice cream? I prefer any ice cream, maybe strawberry wins top notch. Bashful likes the rocky road ice cream.
What’s the first thing you do in the morning? I have to wizzy first thing in the morning – doesn’t everyone?
Did you have posters on your wall as you were a teenager? Which ones? I have posters of Miss Piggy, Angry Birds, Three Little Pigs, etc on my walls. Did you know when mom was a teenager she had a picture of King Tut on her wall?! Can you believe that? How nerdy was that?
Can you play a musical instrument? Which one? Mom says I play the tuba when I eat too much cabbage. I’m not sure what she means by that.
If you were a teenager, would you join in casting shows? I would love to be casted in a television show as well myself. I think I could bring a lot of comedy to the show. Don’t you think?
Do you prefer to listen to music, watching television or nothing to fall asleep? Usually mom tucks me in, sometimes she reads me a story or we watch a quick cartoon together. Most of the time, I drift off asleep while she reads.

Thoughts on my back side? Please share – this oinker needs a pick me up on his body image. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with my body. I’ve worked hard at it. But if I’m going to get a girl one day, I gotta be handsome. 🙂
I’m not sure why but I get a *lot* of requests for pictures of my tail and feet. Is there something going on there that I don’t know about? They look the same to me as they usually do.
The other night mom had to use her toes when she was playing the little piggy goes to the market. It was really comical. Did you know that she is ticklish? After I found this out, I had to keep on picking on her and touching her toes.
I asked her why mine were different than hers. She told me that God blessed my little feet and they are special. She even said that God gave me a tail to be special. She really wants a tail. I can tell from the way she talked. She has tail envy. See that’s why I love mom. She always tells me the truth on these matters.
So, for all that have requested, here is a picture of my blessed toes and tail. Don’t be jealous cause you don’t have one. We are all special in some way.
