The Last Bacon Saturday Before Santa

Standard

Yes today is the very last “bacon day” before Santa Paws visits me…………….I suppose that should mean EXTRA bacon???  ****yells into kitchen, “Ma…..extra bacon purrrlease!”****   On Christmas morning Mom will be making sausage gravy and biscuits which is a long-standing (since Mom was a little girl) tradition for her on Christmas morning.  Her Dad ALWAYS made sausage gravy and biscuits for the family Christmas morning and Mom still does that………………..BUT this year she’s adding bacon for ME!   What a Mom right?

Speaking of my Grandfather, Elfvis was acting VERY strange yesterday – he was actually NICE all day…….posed for some photos without getting into any trouble……he even posted by a photo of my Grandfather (Mom’s Dad) which I thought was rather nice of him.

Then he posed again sitting on one of Mom’s old-fashioned Santa figures in the foyer – he didn’t pull Santa’s beard or ANYTHING….just sat there nicely!

After that he popped up on the front door wreath outside (and it was cold so that was brave)…….I’m not sure why he’s behaving…..could this be the CALM before the STORM?

Ding Dong...Elfvis calling!

Anyway, I do want to tell you about a really cool new blog that’s been started by my pal Easy and several other bloggers where we can all go to ONE SPOT and hear about all the animals in the BIG blogosphere who need the Power of the Paw (or POTP as we say).   It’s called BLOGVILLEPOTP and you can visit by clicking the POTP photo below.   There’s a spot on the sidebar to report anyone you know who might need help of any kind – sometimes just getting an email message helps……………..The Cat Blogosphere is GREAT for passing on the word when a kitty needs us but this will be for everyone!   Great idea Easy…………right now you can’t sign up to follow it via email but I’ve made a suggestion they add that as an option.

Before I forget, here’s the lastest photo of my our Christmas cards.   This isn’t including all those ecards I’ve shown you – this is an ABUNDANCE of love if you ask me and I thank each and every one of you who sent ME a card no matter via email or snail mail…….and my Mom and Dad thank everyone (well all five of you….hahahaha) for THEIR cards too.   Tee Hee

All round the entry AND both doors.....WOW

All round the entry AND both doors…..WOW

Well if you’ll excuse me I smell bacon…………………it’s calling me………………..it needs ME and I need IT so I’m off.   I hope you have a grand Saturday……………….I know I will!

Hugs, Sammy

  2. Hmmmm…my mom told me that she was possibly thinking about making biscuits and gravy for Christmas morning breakfast. Motor Man and Marshall both LOVE that, but Mom’s never made it for them….. I’m betting she asks your mom in an email how she does it….
    Enjoy that extra bacon, Sammy!
    Love, Sundae

  3. thanks for spreading the word, Sammy, it wasn’t my idea, the fabulous Doods Murphy and Stanley had this wonderful idea to create a place where all can find a helpful paw and POTP when they have sorrows. You idea with the cards on the door is much better than our place around the chimney, mom’s diy construction broke down two times and we were busy to rescue our cards before they end as card-mellows :O)

    • Hi Easy! Well I’d read about the POTP on your site as I don’t follow Murphy and Stanley but everyone I know thinks it’s a super idea – hopefully some of my followers will visit!! If you all can make a “FOLLOW BY EMAIL” widget on the sidebar for those of us who can’t follow on Google Plus it would be FAB! Glad you like all my cards – I sent you one too but who knows when you’ll get it so far across the pond!!!! I got yours though! WOO WOO WOOOOO!

      Hugs, Sammy

  4. Wow Sammy, You get bacon every Caturday??? Lucky kitty. I would love that, maybe I can talk Daddy into doing that. He likes bacon too. So maybe I might have a chance of succeeding. Daddy ordered some premium beef from some place called Omaha Steaks. So we will have some lovely fillets for Christmas this year. yummy!!!! Only one thing better than bacon, that’s BEEF. See you later today on the Cat Scout trip to see Santa Paws. 🙂

    • Hi Foxy! Yes bacon is just so wonderful and my Mom makes it EVERY weekend for us. Sometimes I get it extra times in the week if I look pitiful enough when Mom’s in the kitchen in the morning making coffee. My Mom and Dad have had some steaks from Omaha Steaks before and they were OUTSTANDING – as I remember I was able to get a bit of it (that pitiful look thing worked then too!). See you at SCOUTS later!

      Hugs, Sammy

  7. Elfvis sure is acting strange! Hmmm… this probably really is the CALM before the STORM… You’d better keep an eye on him 24/7. 😉 You never know what he might be up to next! Better safe than sorry, right? 😉 Have a wonderful Caturday, sweetie! 😀 xx Roxy & Tigerlino ❤

  9. Sammy, there’s only 2 days all year that the mom and dad-guy have real bacon…not that stuff that comes already pre-cooked that they might put on a sammich occasionally…Christmas and New Year. And this year we’re gonna insist that we get some!
