White Dog prompted Diva who sat at my feet, "Go ahead. Ask her!"

I looked at our newest recruit and smiled. Clearly Diva was nervous and almost thought better of her question but White Dog pushed harder, "Diva, PLEASE ask. There is nothing to fear, I promise you."

I reached down my hand to invite her to come closer for an ear rub. "Ask me," I said gently. 

Diva leaned against my hand and took a deep breath. "Go on," WD whispered. "Can I call you momma?" Diva yipped trying not to sound too pushy.

"Dear One," I rubbed under her chin. "I would be pleased and honored if you would. You know my promise is to always keep you safe and loved and that is what ALL of the others have called me. I guess I have never been asked before, but yes, call me momma."
