NEXT TIME

FRANK = BACON
Whoa. I had no idea there was so much to know about bacon. How did I end up with a vegetable for a human?

Next time we will totally:

* follow Chef Annie's secret bacon directions
* feed me the bacon juice instead of flushing it down the toilet
* make twice the bacon in case it shrinks

That is IF I can convince my human to go near the stove again. Her brain is so gimpy these days she left the burner thingy on. For like four hours. If it wasn't for Dutch barking at the "scary" blue flame in the kitchen we could have all ended up like my bacon.

Burned and crispy.

Frank is going home tomorrow but coming back again next week. With Frank comes bacon so I think a do-over could happen. If it doesn't, I'm totally guilting my human into getting me some of that squeezable stuff. Because bacon in a tube is better than no bacon at all.

My human says there is more to life than bacon (wrong) and says I have to talk about something else tomorrow. I don't know what can beat bacon so I better start thinking now...

Pug, You look a little sad in this pic :( but you're still a super supermodel :)
Love you, Amanda......& Dutch....sometimes. I still don't see what those "J" boys have that I haven't got. I am the complete package! Oh, well...
Kisses, Kisses

There is more to life than bacon, Puglet, and its pug cuteness!!!

We're very grateful that fireman Dutch was on duty and barked at the flames. I bake Scarlet & her Daddy's bacon in the oven at 400 for about 12 - 15 mins - it shrinks up less.

Puglet, Bacon is delicious but bad for you and can shorten your life. Since I want you to be here forever exhibit moderation. Your bowl is not little!

You are one lucky Pug...getting bacon. My human won't let me have pork cause the vet told her it would hurt me :( So glad Dutch saved you from being a "crispy critter too!!! Greetings, Ginger

Okay, Puglet, one more tip about bacon and then we promise your human we won't bring it up again. (Just kidding, how could a pug EVER not talk about BACON???) They make this really wonderful stuff called "Pre-cooked Bacon." It comes in a package that looks like regular bacon, but all your human has to do is put slices in the microwave on paper towels for one minute and TA-DA! BACON, with no loud noises, burning, fire, or left-on stove!!! The only downside, if there are any downsides to bacon, is you don't end up with the leftover bacon juice. Tell Frank's dad to bring Pre-cooked Bacon this weekend!

Southern Fried Pugs said...

Puglet, we also have a suggestion for your human. A toaster oven. Ours works on a timer only. You can bake the bacon on a little pan and it turns off automatically. No gas burners to worry about. Our human once left a pot on a burner then went to school. Fortunately, we had an awesome neighbor who ran over in her nighty to turn it off when mom remembered. It could have been bad. Thank goodness Dutch was on the ball!

Sammy and Neko said...

Oh, Frank, you are so cute : )
He should come with extra bacon next time for sure.

DP makes us happy.
Thank you all!!

Maggie and Lucy the Pugs in Dallas said...

More to life than BACON? Your human is really gimpy right now...she has no idea what she is saying!! Bacon is my reason for living!! Well, one of them anyway! My sister still hasn't gotten any bacon cuz she is still too new....uh, I say that is just fine by me...more bacon coming my way!

Candace and Chiquita said...

Hmmmm...bacon? I've never had the pleasure of enjoying this delicacy of which you speak and covet.

I must have a chat with my mom about this bacon you are obsessed with to see what the big deal is all about!

Augustus said...

Never throw away the bacon juice! My human saves ours in the fridge and when the little bowl is full she makes us cookies out of it! Works for sausage juice too, and even steak juice. The only problem with the bacon juice cookies is that the human kids eat them too.

Bruno said...

Puglet, tell your mom to listen to Sue McGee; precooked bacon is the bomb! My mom doesn't even buy the regular stuff anymore. No nasty pans to wash, grease to dispose of, and best of all, no burns from the bacon fat popping! Well, I guess the best part is you can go from 'I want!' to 'I have!' in less than a minute =D
Love always, Bruno (and Diesel)♥♥♥

Oh Puglet.

My mom is a veggie too, so I haven't seen or smelled Bacon since before she outlawed it when I was 2. I'm 9!! She talks about an icky fake bacon from time to time but who wants fake bacon? She won't even eat it!

She says her thumbs are almost off break time and need to go back to real work. Thanks for brightening my day as you always do! I will let my Bacon cravings and dreams live vicariously through you, Dutch and Frank!

Love,
Bailey the Pug and his mom's thumbs!

Noodles said...

Hi Puglet
I am not sure I agree that bacon is everything. . . but I think it comes a close second. I really loved the SMALL piece of bacon I was allowed to eat. Well, I think I loved it as I ate it so fast I don't remember tasting it. But it is food and good food and tasty food AND Food is everything. In retrospect, you are right.
Bacon=Food=Everything

Bacon is everything Puglet, and don't let your human tell you otherwise! Double the bacon and save the bacon juice for cookies are key rules to happy pug life :)

Frank you are super cute too, almost as cute as Puglet

Rachel's Thoughts said...

It's ok Puglet, nothing can EVER beat bacon! :D Baking your bacon is definitely better than frying in the pan too. It doesn't shrink as much as it doesn't make a big mess or splatter you. Good luck on the do-over!

Paula from DE said...

Shrunk bacon is way better than bacon in a Ziplock taped to the wall for days that you have to stare at! Hope you had fun and some good romping with Frank and so glad Dutch didn't get towed away. We would really miss him and his pink and Justin's!

Oscar the Pug and Margie said...

Puglet...I agree...bacon is the best! I am a therapy pug dog with a calling card...on the front of my card is my handsome picture and on the back of the card it tells about me...Favorite treat: Bacon! What I don't Like: When there is no bacon in the house!

I am jealous of your big pan of bacon! I only get one bite of bacon per day...unfair!

Mercy's Mom said...

The photographs of the NY & NJ pugs are beautiful !!

Pug Slope said...

Hi Puglet! I'm glad Dutch was looking out for all of you guys! I've never had real bacon but my dad has this stuff in a green box that he calls "fake bacon". I guess it looks like bacon, smells like bacon, and tastes like bacon but somehow is not bacon (I don't get it). Have you ever tried that stuff? If it's any good, I might try to beg for some next time he makes it.

-Love,
Sid.

Anonymous said...

Dear Puglet,
I know that bacon is like the best tasting food item ever but did you know that too much of it will make you very sick? You know a couple of pieces every once in a while won't hurt but a pan full, that could bring on a nasty condition called pancreatitis. It's a big word for life-threatening stomach ache. Have your gimpy human look it up here...http://tinyurl.com/csrtq49. Or, she can simply google search for "pancreatitis in dogs". If she reads it to you, you might just stop eating bacon on your own...yeah right...

To Grumpy, brother of Chucky: Make sure you have some strong, long-term antibiotics after having had 20 teeth pulled. Also a long-term pain regime - like rimadyl or dermaxx. Altho w/o teeth you human will have to polvarize them or have dr. order something in a liquid form. Have human ask about adding something to the drinking water bowl to like oxyfresh, which human can buy in any pet store or drug store. CUPS is chronic and if not controlled bacteria can get into the blood

Michele said...

There is such a genuine and intense concern for Amanda, and that continues to touch me from a pugmanity standpoint. I know we are all scattered about, and the possibilities of our help is contingent on needs and distance. However, if anyone has a way of letting us know what would help Amanda, (Is she suffering physical consequences? Is her financial situation dire? Is she worn to the core?)chances are quite good we could at least contribute in some way.
Laurie? Amanda's mom? There are few people in this world whom I have witnessed influence and impact people's lives so selflessly and with a genuine heart. Any guidance at this point would be great, because Puglet being MIA for 3 weeks tells us all a lot about how his mama is doing...and that isn't good.

Please give us a chance to help, if we can.

Amanda,
Your health is priority one and work in moderation when/if you can (I speak from experience).
Take the pressure off your shoulders and complete 1000 Pugs at your own pace. No one wants you to crash and burn over this.

To everyone on this site:
please donate to Amanda's Paypal account, like we, and so many others here did. Whatever amount you can contribute, would be a much needed gift right now because illness, stress and financial strain are a terrible burden for one person to carry.

Let's all join forces and get Amanda back on her feet!
