[QUOTE="slsh, post: 125448, member: 8"] BBK, darlin'. You have such a big heart, you know? I'm really sorry Tink was such a stinker. You probably learned this with Copper. When we have difficult children we have to take joy in the little things we get to - you working on her dress, for example, and getting this whole surprise together - but you have to do it with absolutely zero expectation of anything in return. Sometimes we get lucky and get a little appreciation, but in my experience with- thank you anyway, chances are there's squat in return. That's ok. I do stuff for him, for *me*. Does that make sense? I know it wouldn't kill 'em to show a little gratitude but if you hold your breath waiting, you'll be a Big Blue Bad Kitty. Big old grateful hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
