Happy November 3 to Me!

As of today I have been living at the Library for One Whole Year. As of tomorrow I will have been blogging for One Whole Year.

This time of year is really getting to be a bit too exciting for me!


I also need to tell you about Halloween. Apparently my AB Karen thought it was a Good Idea to lock me up on Halloween so I couldn't visit the Downstairs while Library Staff handed out candy and cookies. (After hearing about the terrible awful horrible things lurking about on Halloween, I decided that it was a Good Idea, too.)

Anyway, I have discovered this Wonderful thing called leftover Halloween candy. There is a Monster dish full of leftover Halloween candy on the Adult Circulation Desk. (To see the Monster dish, look at the photos on my last few posts. He's blue with a big mouth!)

Leftover Halloween candy is crinkly and shiny and smells wonderful and absolutely zips across the carpet when I bat it around! It has nice little paper-y and plastic-y places for me to put my teeth, and I am currently training my staff to throw pieces across the library for me to chase.

There is also a seemingly endless supply of this stuff. Unfortunately, my AB and AABs have decided that the leftover Halloween candy should be locked up every night before they leave the building.

Here I am with a cinnamon disk:


Tootsie Rolls are also lots of fun! And Jolly Ranchers!

I got Mail!

Today I got my Very First Mail! My Assistant Boss Karen was going through the day's mail when she pulled out a little envelope and said "This one is for Tober!"

I have never gotten a Mail before!

The return address said it was from Laila and Minchie!

Here I am inspecting my Mail:


I want to tell you that my Nosy Library Staff wanted very badly to open my Mail. I had to remind them that it was a Federal Offense (whatever that means) to tamper with my stuff and that they would have been in Big Trouble for opening it.

I did accept a little help with the letter-opener.

And guess what I got!


I got a Halloween card!

I bet I am the first Staff Member to get a Halloween card! Thank you, Laila and Minchie!

Now I will have Assistant Boss Karen order a special inbox just for me--since I'm getting my own Mail now, you know. Maybe also some custom stationery, so I can send elegant replies, too. Oh, and my own writing desk. And I could write with feathers and little jars of ink.

So Excited!
