Sustenance

Chiaro di Luna lives for delicious meals, food, oh yes, tidbits, treats and fruit scavenged on the daily walks if not forthcoming from the most sacred of sources, the kitchen. She's learned to sit in anticipation, and while she would love to jump up and grab it wildly, even manages to take turns and wait til last for breakfast.
 Breakfast is a delicious mix of whatever vegies are to hand with tofu, natto or tofu milk, chicken or fish extras, over Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream kibble and K-9Natural green tripe crumbled and sprinkled on top. Every morning a wee dose of salmon oil and for Chiaro di Luna, a most expensive Japanese iron tablet (Mum gets the cheap but giant and hard to swallow US stuff!),vet's orders, to combat her anemia.
 Claire eats in a most delicate ladylike slow food fashion, and she likes her privacy, so I wait to let gobbledyguts Chiaro di Luna out of her cage until Claire has finished her leisurely meal, otherwise Luna would be a narky disturbing intruder hoping to get extras. 
Nobu's not too keen on being photographed during the meal either, he'll sometimes stop to check up that the ladies are still eating before going back to his bowl...being a gentleman, he's most likely to let them steal his food...not that he'd complain or anything, it's just the way the world works...
 Oblivious to the world, Luna's communing with the food...going, going, gone! Any more on offer? No? Really? Oh....okay, well I'm off to the garden to scout for pigeons then....
