I agree! [Which is why she loves home cooking so much. And it's great that she found someone who also agrees. Even if he goes one further and grabs his food Super Fresh.
She continues to eat now, since they need some time to Absorb the noms.]
[ Their eating will be interrupted about halfway through as the dogs return from play. Smith and Wesson sit directly between Sen and Riou and look up at them with puppy eyes. Wesson makes a high-pitched breathing sound, like he's doing his absolute best not to whine and beg for food. ]
No begging.
[ The hiss gets a little quieter somehow, but ultimately doesn't stop. Riou is trying to ignore it. If he doesn't react, he's not rewarding them with attention. ]
If you give them attention, they'll learn they get rewards from begging at the table.
[ He'll explain for Sen. It's important for her to know too, or else she will get barked at by a spoiled dog who wants her food and doesn't understand who the alpha is. ]
I see! You're really good at training these dogs. I believe they know as well, it's a test right now considering they're still giving us the most saddest eyes.

[ He thinks it's nutty anyway. They're pretty darn good, and have kind of a 'pop' when you bite into them. ]
no subject
It does have a nutty flavour, no wonder it goes so well with these mushrooms. Are they native here as well?
no subject
[ He had to identify his own mushrooms. ]

[Good thing her body heals up fast and is resilient. BUT RIOU.]
They taste really lovely too. Fresh mushrooms are wonderful.
no subject
Mm. Fresh food is best.

She's halfway through eating a morsel when she watches this, since is this Riou's training? How curious!]
Oh?
[He's a strict dad!]

[SUCH SAD EYES AT DAD (and mother).]
So one must ignore them as well?
no subject
[ If that helps her feel any better about the sad eyes. That's how he thinks of it anyway. These are not starving dogs, they are just not spoiled. ]
Please ignore them, yes.
no subject
[And she continues to eat! She won't let Riou's hard work go to waste!]
You're a really good father.

[ He is a good plant dad though he knows that much. ]

And the dogs still love you. So good pet owner indeed.
