It's A Total Takedown!

And An Update To Generikat's Shelf


2015 401.JPG

Part of being a librarian is making sure that you keep the collection weeded, organized, and up to date. What kind of librarian and blogger would I be if I didn't apply the same practice and principles to my blog? That said, it is a bit challenging to keep our Steemit posts organized, and as a solution a couple of months ago I implemented @generikat's shelf, a blog post that contained my entire collection of posts organized under subheadings by type.

However, more than a month has gone by since I had updated GK's shelf, the horror of it all!!! Have no fear dear readers, that undone chore has been completed and at the end of this post you will find a completely updated version of generikat's shelf. I will link this post to my future posts all in the name of organization and stuff! All you'll have to do is click the link below the Squeakers cat and Gunnar dog GIF!

As a blogger who always strives to provide new content in every post I remembered that I had this funny video clip of my tabby cat Squeakers and Boxer dog Gunnar engaging in a tete-a-tete in my living room. That particular dialogue devolved into the best cat versus dog take down that I have ever had the privilege to witness. It was like a visual representation of a "score one for the little guys" moment.

Let me tell you a bit about Gunnar. His IQ unfortunately, was not far beyond turnip and slightly below ameoba. One afternoon my brother and I were sitting in the yard, and my husband was cruising down the barn road in front of us in our 74' Ford pickup. Gunnar was running along next to them staring at all of the kids in the back of the truck. His attention was so fixed that he did not see the 3 foot in diameter Ponderosa Pine tree in front of him. A tree that I will note had been in the yard his entire existence. He hit that tree so hard that they heard the smack in the next county. It's a good thing that his face was already flat. I am reasonably sure that some bark came loose, and by bark I mean both tree skin and any and all of Gunnar's vocal dignity. To make matters worse, after he righted his smashed face form, he stared at my brother and I like it was all our fault that his idiot self ran into the gigantic tree. Bro and I stared open mouthed at the paragon of idiocy, then glanced at each other and proceeded to laugh until imminent urination was required.

Not all of the canine life that surrounds us is sub-intelligent. Right now I have custody of my little sister Zibbah as my parents are in a logging camp in Southeast Alaska. She is a nine year old red heeler, and probably the smartest dog I have ever encountered. Well, unless she is around something and my brother yells "take it," "bird," or "fly." Hmmm, she also loses her mind when she happens upon a running garden hose too, but still, I can tell her to go put that stick in the pile and she will do so. Smart. Her only problem is that she loves humans and hates all other animal life. This hatred is not in an aggressive way, rather her behavior towards others is a perfect representation of how my father behaves on any given day, with annoying irritation and antagonization towards all living creatures. If Zibbah or my dad can get creatures in their proximity all riled up than a self-satisfied smile can be seen lighting up their faces. Here's Zibs in action:

Why would I place a cat versus dog take down and a scrambled brain shaking dog in a post about organization? Because I can! That is the great thing about this place! You can have a post about reorganizing your posts while also attaching some funny content to (hopefully) entertain your readers. The Steemiverse is cool like that. Plus, a dialogue about pets and their weirdness will probably ensue, and who doesn't love a good ol' pet story!!
