The King Is Still Here!
Bring on the Bacon!
Hi my friends………Saturday is here and so is the bacon…………Mom says I’ll get my bacon on Saturday as long as I’m here to enjoy it – AND I’m here so I’m gonna enjoy it today!
Speaking of bacon though, my buddies at Trout Towne Tabbies reminded me that especially in the season of turkey (Thanksgiving), there is a “better bacon” (better for you of course) and that would be:
I have to tell ya……..I’m not so sure about this turkey bacon stuff but some of you have said it’s pretty good so maybe I should get Mom to buy some and we can give it a whirl. On the other hand, I do like my fat-filled, piggy bacon (no offense to my pigs who are friends)………….and I think this turkey stuff just might not “HIT THE SPOT” like the pork kind!
I know you’d like to get an update on me so I’m going to ask my doctor, Dr. Strangelove (hahaha) to start giving regular updates on my health. I’ve been overwhelmed with well over 300 emails from you guys wanting to know how I am, etc. so I’ll be posting regularly on the blog to let you know! Doctor Strangelove? The floor is yours (well, not really because I need a floor to stand on but you know what I mean).
Dr. Strangelove
My patient Sammy is holding his own. The overnight hospital stay helped him a lot but he’s showing some signs of not maintaining his “rally”. We are hopeful that Friday was just a “down” day and that today he will be better. I will be sure to let you know. Meanwhile thanks to the appetite stimulant he’s eating like a horse. He’s resting a lot. He has been taking his pills like a champ. I have asked his Mom to bring him in Monday so I can check him out as she was a bit concerned yesterday at his behavior……..so for sure I’ll keep you posted. No worries though, I’m taking good care of him. Honest.
Thank you Doctor!
Now, I am needing my Mom so much lately that I’m not sure we will be able to keep up with a daily blog but for NOW, we’re going to try to do that………….so keep tuned in! Tomorrow we’ll be on the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop at Kitties Blue – then will have a Teaser next week. For now, we’re kind of doing one day at a time folks…………if Mom doesn’t help me post a blog for one day, it’s just because we need a rest OK?
Now for a little fun!
Freshly delivered bacon
Finders/Keepers I say!!!!
You’ve GOT TO BE kidding me – right?????????????
MY share…..hee hee
Everybody have a GREAT bacon Saturday! I’ll see you tomorrow for Selfies! Sending you my heartfelt love…………….always and forever and ever.

I am glad you are feeling better today than you were yesterday. Those down days are always a worry. Me and my mum totally understand not posting every day. That is why we only post 3 times a week now, so we can spend more time together and have lots of cuddles.
My mum says she tried turkey bacon when she was on a cruise but didn’t like it. She only really likes English back bacon and made bacon rolls yesterday. Of course I had a little bit.
See you tomorrow when we have to try to be bookends again!

I’ll be looking for you at Kitties Blue my friend! I love TRYING to be your bookend buddy but sometimes – well – Mom gets up later than 3 or 4AM – she seems to have a mind of her own sometimes! Imagine that! Yes, good and bad days are something my Mom and Dad need to get used to. Mom understands but my Dad worries so much when I have a bad day – mom says “just wait for tomorrow”……..and sure enough I’m better the next day. Crazy roller coaster we’re on buddy!

Sammy, we’re praying for you and especially for your Mom and the Vet. I think I’d like to go to your doctor; he sounds nice. There hasn’t been any bacon at this house all week–I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because Charlie, the little dog from next door is visiting. He is a noisy busy energetic friend so I stay in the room with my owner who has dementia most of the time. Take care; all 301 of us love you and your whole crew!

Hey, Sammy, sometimes the blog just has to take second place to kitty-Human snuggly times. That’s totally cool.

Hi KB Crew! I really have had a better day today………and that appetite stimulant is making me hungry all the time so I’m eating like a piggy! I’m sticking with piggy bacon indeed – that turkey stuff wasn’t bad (Mom did get some to try) but NOT as yummers as pork bacon. SO, that’s that! I am hanging in – trying to be positive – and hearing more and more stories of kitties who were told they had months to live who went YEARS…….I’m SURE Fiona and I are both going to try for that (wink win). ❤
