Penny and Charlotte enjoy a symbiotic relationship, especially when it comes to food. [Maybe parasitic is a better description. I'll leave that to the reader to decide.] Charlotte eats, until she's done, and then she graciously distributes her leftovers to the pink tongue emanating periodically from below the table. This actually belies the true depth of Charlotte's concern for Penny's welfare: whenever Penny clears her bowl [which admittedly doesn't happen all that often], Charlotte looks over, points at the empty bowl, and repeatedly exclaims "More food, Penny!" You know, just in case the purveyors of said food weren't paying attention. The attention to Penny's diet even extends to desserts, as Charlotte likes placing cakes [kuchen] in front of Penny's snout.
