Do *You* Have What it Takes?

Okay my friends – here’s your chance!  I get lots of snail mail and emails from anipals needing help desperately.  Heck, me and my mailman are now on a first name basis!

Are you patient?  Are you great at giving advice?  Do you have a warped sense of humor?  Do you often give out advice to your friends for free?

If so, this job is for YOU my friend. As you know, my weekly Dear Bacon issue comes out every Tuesday.  I am opening up my calendar for September 2014 for Special Guests to do my weekly issue.  That’s 5 weeks that are available on a first come first serve basis.

I will forward you my letters/pictures and all you have to do is answer the letters and return them back to me upon completion.  I will then give you a date that it will be published.  Sound like fun?

You’ve seen other guests step into my hooves and help me out with my weekly Dear Bacon issues.  Do you have what it takes?  Send me an email at baconthompson@gmail.com with your information and I’ll take it from there.  Hope to hear from you my friends!

NOTE:  This invitation is open to everyone whether you have already done an issue or you want to try your talents out for the first time and do one.

 

Game For YOU My Friends

My friends – I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  Mine was full of food, snuggles and fun.  I worked on something special just for ya’ll.  I hope you take the time to print this picture below and find the words.  I created with you in mind and left you a secret message in the word find.   You can do the word find or have your children help you.  Here’s what you do 🙂

1)  Print the picture below

2) Find the highlighted words below the puzzle in the puzzle.  They can go upwards, backwards, frontwards, sideways, etc.

3) Take a highlighter and individually highlight the letters that you find.

4) After you have found all of the words, start at the upper left hand side and go left to right.  On the bottom of your page, write down the letters that you did not highlight.  If the area is shaded out, that is a period.

5)  What message did you find?  I hope you at least had fun 🙂

 

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon,

Hey – we’re just hanging around in underwear. I mean if the humans can do it, why can’t we, right? Signed – Trio Fruit of the Loom

Dear Trio Fruit of the Loom,

UUMM, okay. I completely understand. Some people here at the Hotel Thompson like to run around in their Fruit of the Looms too – not mentioning any names – snort snort dad snort snort. Whatever makes you comfortable, go for it my friends!

 

Dear Bacon,

Wwaattzz uupp? Hey we all gotta have some fun in life my friend. Take it from me, don’t sweat the small stuff. Turn it around and have fun. Life is WAY too short. Signed Monkey Man

Dear Monkey Man,

Hey, you’ve got the right view in life. I like that. Here’s a Waahhhatt’ss uuupp back at you. Keep cheerful Monkey Man!

 

Dear Bacon,

Hey look. I don’t want any problems here. I just want to eat my little bamboo stem in peace and walk away. I’m not trying to cause any problems. Okay? Signed Panda Express

Dear Panda Express,

Why am I craving Chinese food now all of a sudden? I don’t get it. I have no problems with your little snack man. You go right ahead and eat that piece of grass bamboo. I’m more of a fruits and veggies kind of piggy any who. Good eats and take care my friend!

 

Dear Bacon,

Do you know how hard it is to write that great American novel? This is me on my thinking beanie bag with my books and laptop. Sometimes it is so hard to concentrate. What do I do for inspiration? Signed Next Great American Dog Writer

Dear Next Great American Dog Writer,

I do really understand your dilemma. It’s hard to be a writer. I know first hand from my experience in writing my blogs. The clue is to never give up. Inspiration comes to you when you are least expecting it. Sometimes I find it from watching television or watching the humans around here at the Hotel Thompson. When something hits you, write it down as a ‘go to’ when you are least inspired. Keep writing my friend.

 

Dear Bacon,

Sometimes one has to sit back, let it all out and meditate to take away the stress from the day. Do you ever do this? Signed Lemur Lips

Dear Lemur Lips,

Yes. I do meditate and I have even attempted piggy yoga at times. I’ve never let myself go as far as you have my friend. My tongue doesn’t stick out. Although you have quite an interesting and long tongue, I just don’t think mine would meet the standard. Keep destressing my friend!
