White Dog paused on her way past us on her way out of the dog door. She sniffed. "SOME pup is smelling kind of doggy," she said looking pointedly at Opal. I cupped my Sparkling Girl's chin in my hand and pulled back at the feel of sliminess. "What have you been rolling in, Dear Girl?" I asked as I signaled for Steve to gather the spa supplies. Fortunately Opal LOVES baths.

She stretches this way and that as Steve massages in the bath soap and blissfully snuggles in the towels I wrap her in after. Opal is mostly even patient with nail trimming. When she is dry, my Sparkling Girl does indeed sparkle...especially once we brush our her naturally lambswool soft and curly coat.

So much does Opal enjoy the spa experience that I had to remind her that the final touch is a "Thank You" treat.
