In the Forest of the Godlings

Genie, my dog: She was mixed part Pomeranian part Shih Tzu a female genius with excellent sight wise beyond her years she always knew how to appease me, when I was not feeling right Used to get so many migraines they were chronic so always had a bean bag in the freezer one day I lay across my carpet feeling catatonic to my Genie well this was not, a brain teaser She watched me for a while then knew what to do I had the beanbag sitting across my forehead she flipped on her backside & scooted beneath it too side by side we lay together playing dead She was an empath like mom, always had a clue as to what to do, she was amazing at the ripe age of fifteen I knew what to do I said my goodbyes then sent her in the forest of the Godlings.
