Who Now?

What my son refuses to see as anything other than a stuffed animal is the living reincarnation of Mitzi, his childhood dog. So disappointing he doesn’t know her. He was the one who found her. Named her. Maybe he’s confused because the breed has changed. But that doesn’t matter. If only he’d take the time to look deep into her brown glass eyes. And the pee-doll, who will stand in for its mother when its mother goes missing? Don’t ask me why but the hedgehog? Well, she follows me around wherever I go, always needing a hug, that one.
