Hello gorgeous library guests
and
Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ
Thank you for joining me in the stacks today. This week, I've been trying to school Melvyn in better library practice, and what I mean by this is, that when a book is returned, it is placed back on the bookcase in the correct spot within ten minutes of arriving on my desk.
Obviously, by my utterly withering look, he's failing miserably. But not to worry, I have a little plan up my furry sleeve, and it's called treat motivation. So, whenever Melvyn completes a task within my strict guidelines and parameters, he gets to watch me eat a treat, and if by the end of the day, there are any left, I very generously let him have the bag. And if there's none left he can still sniff the wrapper! MOL
I am hoping that in time he understands what a great service I am doing for him, and hopefully motivating him to be more productive.
Don't worry. I do give him an extra treat bonus every Friday afternoon, so he doesn't get too disheartened when things don't always go his way. I think if I make things too easy for him, he will just expect easy all the time, and then one day, when he has to face something he doesn't like, or it's not what he expected, he will be better prepared to cope with whatever life throws at him.
It's all about the psychology of life...
Anyhoo, let's look at today's review after this week's fun Fill-ins and the Pet Photo Fail.

The P.A.'s answers are...

2. If it weren’t for a chance meeting on the staircase of my apartment, I would never I would have never got my first cat back in 1997 - C.J. Catkin, and my life with cats may never have unfolded the way it has.
3. I find _________ very intimidating. Right now at this moment, I can't think of anything to fit this one, but I'm sure there is something, but it's not coming to mind - sorry!
4. My cats give me the inspiration to write the most crazy, bizarre, action-packed adventures.
Where the fluff would I be with The B Team???? LOL
