It’s good to be KING……
Today we shall be eating our fill of bacon and soon we shall all be enjoying our very own FRESH, HOME-GROWN bacon thanks to the magic bacon seeds that are growing in the official Baconia Greenhouse. Our master gardener reports all is well…………….
The plants are doing very well My King………
AND, the gardeners are making sure there are no critters disturbing the little plant-lets as they stretch their leaves and snuggle their roots further into the ground so they can grow big and strong!
No critters here!
As for my OWN bacon breakfast – never fear – I am having bacon for breakfast – are you?
I received a totally fabulous and very exciting notification in the ROYAL MAIL this week from a truly lovely and talented blog friend, Miss Sharon who has the blog GENTLE STITCHES! She is a wonderfully clever lady who crochets and knits and does the most AMAZING things with yarns of all kinds – – – she makes adorable little animals and so much more but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I – your King – would become an INSPIRATION for something she would craft! She told me a while ago that she was working on a “Sammy Tote”………..a lovely little thing which would have my fabulous face on it – – – and that when she finished making a “prototype” she would let me and my Mom know! Well, she’s finished it and just WAIT until you see it!
CLICK HERE to see the fabulous “Sammy Tote” !! I do not know what her plans for it are yet – I believe she will be making the pattern for the tote available in a few months though for those of you who are CRAFTY (which my Mom definitely is NOT!)……………..but I do know one thing for sure – I LOVE THIS!!!!! I am over the moon about it. Proud that my fat little ginger face will be on a cute little tote forever and ever even long after I’ve gone. THANK YOU MISS SHARON……….it means the world to me and Mom.
This is the photo from her blog…………….it’s ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!! Golden eyes and ginger face……………….
I started today’s post saying
“It’s good to be King”
WELL IT IS!
Royal Hugs, King Sam

You are not going to believe this, Sammy! So I’m at a cat show this weekend, and my breeder brought lunch for her and my human, to thank her for helping with one of her kittens. And there was a spinach salad with a container of bacon on the side (since she knows my human doesn’t eat it) – and nobody offered me any!
Fortunately, there was enough for my human to take home, which included what was left of the bacon, so I still get some. Yay!
