:heart:That's a good way of putting it, a labor of love
I'm the same way! I've spent so much on ribbon, lace, and pretties for the middle that it's seems silly to the average person, but few people understand why it's so fulfilling to spoil your little furry one.
This forum is the only place, that I've found, that understands why we need those pretty dresses/manly t-shirts, expensive fur creams, and various bags/baskets (for your shoulder, on your bike, to be safe in your car...) for our "babies"... and I love it.
