Bacon?  Who mentioned bacon? Oh, you're talking about Kevin Bacon. Even us dogs can relate to him. 
 At 6 degrees outside, I'd be a cold dog.  At 6 degrees body temperature, I'd be stiff as a bone.  I once watched
a Kevin Bacon movie, so that qualifies me for the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game.  Mystic River was Kevin's
 high point.  Then there was that terrible Hollow Man movie.  He should have remained invisible in that one.
  I guess the point of 6 degrees is that we're all connected very closely in the web of life through our family,
 friends and acquaintances.  A dog is involved in this intricate interrelationship just as you humans are. 
Realizing that our actions can have tremendously wide and unpredictable consequences is supposed to
 make us conscious and humble in our dealings with the world.  Dogs enact this philosophy on a daily basis,
 merely by being our wonderful, irresistible selves.  We wish to send smiles radiating out through our network
until all the world is grinning and laughing while they search for new ways to reward us with love, affection
and tasty morsels.  People will be much more likely to stay out of trouble if they spend more time engaged
in this behavior; although the constant grinning may remind us dogs of a bad human beauty pageant, or a
bunch of smarmy politicians. (We dogs might have to tone down being so cute and friendly, that smile on
your face today is a little scary.)
