Swiftcurrent Creek Have you tried today's special?

She nosed the remainders left of the fish- not much to chew off it, and minding the little bones was tricky. She wrinkled her nose as she tried to pry a bit more pale flesh from the fish, managing little more than a taste here and there, and she still ended up having to spit out a little piece of bone afterwards. She eyed the creature's ugly, broad head, and nosed at the slippery whisker-like things on its face. There were definitely fish that she liked more than this one. 

The sound of Arlette wretching caught her attention, and she turned. Ears pricked and licking her lips, she moved toward the pile of gooey fish baby food, pausing first to slink along Arlette's side like an affectionate kitten. Her lips pulled into a momentary smile, before she turned her sights back to the fish, and snarled. 

Like a ravenous little thief, she pounced toward it, and ate up every last bit of it, growling all the while, he little stumped tail twitching from side to side.

Arlette was a little surprised by the small sign of affection coming from the pup. It warmed her heart to see her at least happy. Food seemed to make the girl happy. Arlette was happy too. Sure, her table manners could be better... but oh well. She was glad to see the pup eating well and growing.
