It’s a special time in every girl’s life.

God, there’s nothing more embarrassing than getting your period for the first time then discovering your mum told everyone about it.

Likewise, there can be no greater snub than posting the news of your little one’s first menses and receiving only ridicule in response.

So we must spare a thought for both Nicola Robinson, 38, and her dog, Shikoba. There are no winners here.

Happy first period, Shikoba! Image via Instagram.

Robinson posted a picture of herself and Shikoba, a miniature poodle, to Instagram with news of Shikoba’s first special time for all to see.

“My Mummy is doing a good job at looking after me during my very first ‘moon time!'” Robinson wrote for Shikoba, whose personality and musings she has interpreted with much liberty.

“She’s going to teach me how to sync my cycle with the Moon too!”

Yes, this is the woman paleo evangelist Pete Evans is engaged to. It’s perfect, no?

No toxins! Faces excepted. Image via Instagram.

Robinson, who goes by the Instagram handle Nutrition Mermaid, regularly posts her dog’s thoughts to the social media site, that is when she’s not posting pictures of chooks recommending meditation books or horses whose eyes “sparkle with intent”.

Here are some powerful thoughts Shikoba has been having while gazing out to sea recently:

It’s so weird how Pete Evans’ views on food went really nuts after they met.

Anyway, here’s a recipe for Robinson’s mother’s mylk. I hope she wasn’t saving it for Pete’s next book:

#Gag.

Anyway, I’m off for a chia pudding and to practise syncing with the moon. Ciao!

Check out the life of Shikoba and her mum before Shikoba became a woman today…
