I don't care if the mother was mad at me for protecting my babies. My feathered kids mean far more to me than her mannerless kids. I don't care for the happiness of HER kids. I care for the happiness and safety of my pets.
Right on!!

My parents prided themselves on the fact that they could take me and my brother anywhere! I raised my daughter to respect her elders and she hasn't let me down yet.
