When Steve passed Diva, the Little Squeaker to Aspen, nopup knew what to make of the situation. Diva sure did not want to leave home. Lilly and Opal were convinced she would never be seen again. Roman and Zsofia sat in the window chairs watching Diva get tucked into a car and driven away. "We didn't MEAN it all those times we told her to go away." Bailey, who was napping in the bedroom, was late to the show and howled just to keep up with the others.

"Relax," Steve told everyone. "Diva is going to have a spa day with Aspen. She is safe and will be home this afternoon." 

Aspen, who works at our friend Jessie's grooming salon, was the savior who untangled and dematted Our Girl when first she joined the Army. She lives not far from us and volunteered to bring Diva along with her to work when next the Tiny Terror needed cleaning up. That time was now.

Our Diva is a queen of expressions and, thanks to the stream of photos we got from the shop, quite the drama star. She tried VERY hard not to like Jessie's daughter or the special treatment but in the end she looked glamorous and well coiffed. 

Of course, she was smothered in attention when she returned home. A small snack (breakfast had been hasty) and a nap made the day perfect.
