Current mood: Crest-Fallin' Apart
This morning, as we were contemplating today’s post, tragedy struck our household. We were in the thick of chatting through ideas when, unbeknownst to us, Link was enjoying a paper snack.
Imagine our horror, hearing a wet, crumpling noise and peeking around the desk to see this guy, munching on a beautiful rainbow picture about love.
Evie cried…dramatically. Link was terrified. Hugs and pets were spread around to comfort all.
After today’s incident, we talked to Link about his behavior, “Why would you do that?” Evie asked. Link’s thoughtful reply, “Meow, meow, meow.” We resolved the issue by expressing our emotions and politely, yet firmly, asking Link to cease eating artwork in the future.
Now, this behavior is not new to our household. Link has enjoyed ripping paper (of all weights, colors, and quality) for some time now. In fact, he pulls toilet paper off the roll every morning, chewing while I’m (ahem) using the facility. It’s a bad habit that he has learned garners him attention.

And several more taken from the poor TP roll.
So, along with our discussion, we, as a family, are going to work on being strong, and not give in to Link’s paper prompts. Treats will only be had when GOOD behavior occurs.
