"Diva, come inside now," Steve called to his usually adoring sycophant. "Do you have treats?" she yipped up at the deck where he stood. "It is not treat time. I want you to come in. I have to leave for a meeting and you need to be in the office."

"I don't want to come in and I especially do not want you to leave," Diva pouted. Steve put his hands on his hips. "Come on, I have to get going and you must be safe."  She trotted back a few feet and turned to continue the argument. "I do not want to be in the office alone AND I want a cookie."

"I will stay in the office with her," Bailey volunteered. "There you go," Steve told Diva. "And thank you Bai." 

I sent Zsofia out to nose the Littlest One inside. "Dad will negotiate until he makes himself late. Help get Diva inside. She can have ONE treat and the rest of you can have TWO just to let her know mommas do not cave to foot stomping demands."
