Chez Shenks family comes back

Quietly a cataporter opens and 3 step out.

One isn't really steady on her feet but is sporting some nifty
camoflage flip-flops. She has an odd tilt to her head and a tendancy
to circle a bit as she walks but her buddies steady her. She sniffs the
food and with help, grabs the first seat. She then sniffs and greets
Pit2nya beside her and there seems to be a bird on her other side?

Several waitstaff come over and a tan and white beagle with hot pink
flip-flops whispers a food order.

A white cat with lime green flip flops and tired eyes takes an empty
seat by Ranger and his wink. She's been busy caretaking for the past 6
days.

The little one with the camo flipflops, sniffs at the bird smell then
notes !shrimpies! nearby and tries to get at them but she's not too
steady yet. She is revovering from what the TED calls, 'vestibular
disease'.

One drops right before her nose and she eats it up, It's good to eat
again as she didnt for 4 days and not much for the next 2. There is a
flutter of wings and more little shrimp arrive.

The little one grins and starts to fill her belly.
