Genie's Fable

We once owned a little mutt named Genie on occasion we called her Genie Panini we tried not to feed her table scraps n' stuff but then again, I had her heart on my cuff so once in a while, we gave her little bits to keep at bay her continuous barking fits Each night hubby would eat a bowl of cheerio while watching T.V. or listening to the stereo Genie watched intently eyes peeled to the bowl the ritual worked well, for she never stole he gave her 1, there was nothing she could do so she crunched it while she lay beside his shoe One day hubby went to answer the door and left Genie hopped on the couch and left him bereft she ate all the cheerios but she did leave him one when he returned he saw an empty bowl no fun He'd been outsmarted by a funny little Shih Tzu with Pomeranian smack, who knew what to do. Moral of the story: Never trust a dog, when it comes to food. Feb. 7, 2021

As a child, I learnt dogs will happily wolf down horse manure, so I fail to understand how anyone would allow a dog near food - or their children! Aloha! Rico

You’ve created a little dog that just does what is normal for bagging. I have been very lucky my dogs have never gotten into our food and I am very good at leaving my plate close to their nose. Great write my friend. Hugs Eve

So much fun! Our Sophie intentionally ignores her dog food, preferring whatever we other family members are having. Love the poem and the photo.

She was a clever dog--left him one--her way of getting back.
