I'm sorry that I can't tell you a breed... but I think that a cat would be the best pet for you. Cats are low - mantenance and don't need attention 24/7, they can take care of themselves when you can't. However, if you are up for more of a challenge, you could settle with a dog - I have a beagle who sleeps all day until I get back from school, however if she can't get outside to do her buisness, she'll go on the carpet like any other dog. A dog would require a dog - door - which will require money and if you ever decide that the dog doesn't work for you, there'll be a hole in your door forever, whereas with a cat, you can crack a window large enough for them to slink through - this is what my friend does. Again, I'm sorry I couldn't give you a specific cat breed, but I hope that I helped!!!

I can totally relate - my dad is threatening to send my dog away because she has made a few accidents. I am really shy and I am completely scared of my dad, therefore I can't talk to him face - to - face on this manner. So, I wrote him a note and left it on the kitchen counter saying, "I just want you to know that Maisie is the most important thing in the world to me. If you follow through with this, it will take me years to get over it!" It seemed to loosen my dad up a little bit. One of every parent's main priority is to keep their children happy - they can't stand to see them depressed. I think that speaking to them face to face will have more effect than a note, and if you promise to think of a way to keep your lovable little pooch in control, then they won't hesitate to take back their threats!

Tip: You dog most likely relieves herself in the bathroom because she has no way of getting outside - if you have a backyard, try keeping her out there until you get back from school or your parents get back from work. Now that her scent is in the bathroom, head over to the pet store - they usually have products that get rid of scents like that which will kill the scent from even your dog's nostrils! Make sure you clean those spots really well. Also, dogs usually get very depressed in a cage and desperately try to get out. I'm sorry that I can't think of any other solutions! I hope that I helped!

If you're up to a challenge, you can get a breed of dog that doesn't bark too much, which means no pomeranians or chihuahuas. My dog is usually quiet and doesn't stink unless we give her a bath (WET DOG!!! RUN!!!). I have never owned a cat before, but I have heard that they are low-maintenance and are usually quiet. If you want the most interactive pet possible according to your parent's guidelines, I would go with the cat, because you can't expect your dog to be quiet all the time, while even if cats meow it isn't very loud. However, whatever pet you choose, I hope you have fun with it!

I have a dog as well, and I'm sure that I would be angry if this new dog came and tried to take the place of her. However, just remember that a dog doesn't think that way! Your new dog just wants attention. There is no shame in loving your first dog more, but this new dog is, in fact, a living animal that doesn't know any better, and deserves a little bit of affection every once in a while. When I first got my dog, she was hyper and demanded our attention, but after a few months she settled down and respected us. Give your new dog a little bit of time and I'm sure things will settle down!
