Dewey

I've been reading a pretty interesting book on a library cat, Dewey Readmore Books. Do We Read More Books. Got it? In a small town in Iowa, a kitten was thrown into the library book return chute to freeze to its death. Miraculously, it clung on to life and for the next 19 years enriched the lives of all those who encountered it and inspired those who kept news of it from afar.

We all know what happens in the end... well, I cried. There's a picutre of him on the cover of the book, he's just so darned cute! For kitty lovers out there, you'll find this book interesting.

'You've no doubt noticed the strings on a fresh ear of corn. Those are the silks. Each one is connected to a particular spot on the ear. The spot grows a kernel only if that particular string is fertilized by pollen. The ear is made piece by piece, one kernel at a time. For an ear of corn to be whole, every silk must be fertilized. That's the way Dewey operated. He won hearts day by day, one person at a time. He never left anyone out or took anyone for granted. If you were receptive, he was there for you. If you weren't receptive, he worked to bring you around.'
