I’ve learned so much about Bigfoot in the last year, I don’t see how anyone cannot  believe in them. I think that people don’t realize how much Bigfoot information is available these days.

It isn’t like the old days when all people had for proof was the Patterson-Gimlin film, and thought that it could have been Bob Heironimus with a fur suit, and that Ray Wallace was all over Northern California making fake footprints with wooden stompers. Strange how hoaxers can make the news but others can’t with real sightings. Of course those having real sightings often won’t mention it, especially to news media people, because they don’t want to be ridiculed and talked badly about.

Meanwhile, scientists have decided the Patterson-Gimlin "Patty" video was real... not a fur suit at all. Also they’ve examined footprint castings and declared them real. Yes, Ray Wallace, the jokester, had stompers made in big foot shapes, bit if you saw them you’d know in an instant they’re not the same shape as real Bigfoot footprint castings.

Problem is, people aren’t examining the evidence, so they’re stuck in the box of thinking of Bigfoot as a joke. But it isn’t a joke at all. It is real. For most people this means nothing, really. Why should they care? They’re stuck in cities where they’ll never have to think about Bigfoot anyhow. But I’m in the forest. There have been Bigfoot sightings less than a mile from my home... so I’ve immersed myself in the study of Bigfoot with my blog, Bigfoot Sightings. And I’ve learned a lot about the realities, the sightings, and the truths.

What’s really cool is that squatching has become a name for a new hobby. It refers to people going out into the forest to a place where a Bigfoot has been seen before, and doing things to try to attract Bigfoot to them so they can have a sighting. Many squatchers have objectives such as trying to capture one, or just trying to prove they’re real.

My objective is to try to communicate with one. I don’t care to let the world in on my secret either. I want to be there to talk to them, to find some way of clear communication so I can ask them about their lives and find out what they think of us. To this end I’m using many means of training myself in the psychic arts plus am prepared mentally to start a conversation with one if I should see one in the course of my squatching activities.

August 12 is Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day and I hope with all my heart that people will consider pets with problems when they are ready to adopt.

Problems?

Yes...

Older pets are the ones that have the hardest time finding new homes.

Pets with medical problems are also high on the list of pets that can't get adopted.

Third - pets who are victims of breed prejudice.

Recently I've adopted three homeless black cats. Too often black shelter cats are overlooked in favor of cats with markings. It breaks my heart that these precious creatures are under-appreciated, so I wrote about it: Black Cats Need Love Too!

My plea for black cats: If you're going to adopt a cat with markings, please consider adopting a black cat at the same time. They are usually well mannered and very grateful for all the affection they receive.
