Look! It's a Sasquatch in a drawer!

Really it is! Meet me cat Sasquatch (named by my husband, of course). I was sitting at my desk this weekend creating some awesome stuff when I look over, and this is what I see. It was so funny I just had to take a picture of it to share with all of you. Enjoy!

Dear so and so... week 2

ok here it goes for this week!


Dear the dog,
I don't want to hang out with you at 6:30 in the morning. I know you're bored, but i'm tired and more important than you. please wait until at least 7:30 before waking me up.
thanks, mommy

Dear mom,
I miss you... a lot. and sarah too.
love, lauren

dear the husband,
thanks for helping me with the dishes. will you please clean the toilet? pretty please?!
love, the wife

dear sasquatch,
you cannot dig your way out of the house. please stop tearing up the carpets in an attempt to do this. we are not alcatraz, you are not a prisoner, i promise we will not always live in a basement.
thanks, mommy

congratulations on sticking up for yourself this week! keep up the good work.
love, yourself


ok, now i feel much better!

Anyone know how to successfully groom a maine coon cat?

without sedating her? I have a beautiful maine coon cat aptly names "sasquatch" by my husband. she's really more like a dog than a cat. She loves to cuddle, thinks that she should be eating whatever i'm eating, and always wants to go outside. the only problem is that she gets these big clumps near her bum and i have a really hard time combing them and i hate to cut them out. she fights me tooth nail, literally, and i feel so bad about having to do it. I do have some kitty sedative but i hate having to drug her up simply to groom her. i'm anyone knows of a good way to brush her with all having to fight her i would greatly appreciate it!
