Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Well maybe you should sit down with your mom or grandma and talk about getting a dog. Tell them that thats what your birthday present could be. Or your Christmas present. Or Easter, or whatever holiday you celebrate. But before you do that you should play with your cats a lot. Feed them good. Give them baths when they need them. Take them around the neiborhood, etc. Just pay more attention to them. Also say that you miss your dog and that if you didnt take care of it before, your more muture and you can take care of a dog.

Tell your mum that dogs are way more offectionat than cats and you want a full time pet not one that just comes and goes like a cat. if she is worried that the cats and the dog won't get along tell that the dog will respect the cats because they were their first and normaly dogs will respect the cats in these cases. tell her that you want a small dog and that she won't have to lift a finger to help you with it. also you could rais some money to put into bying a dog and show her how commited you are. I sugest a king charls spanial they are clean and easy to keep! good luck e mail me and tell me how it turns out

sit down with your mother and talk with her, point out all the things you do to take care of the cats, feed them, change the litter, play with them. theres not much you need to do to take care for a cat. tell her how happy a dog would make you, and tell her the things you would do with the dog, so she knows that you know what needs to be done to take care of the dog, like feed it, walk it 2-3 times a day, make sure it has enough water all the time, play with him/her, give him/her love and attention, and keep him/her healthy.

Well, parents are really strict about that kinda' stuff, so I'm not sure if she will budge. But, maybe you can earn money by babysitting or get a job, or something like that. Then, you can buy food for the cats and clean out the litter box w/o being asked. If you already do that stuff, then tell your mom that you are responsible and that you will do anything that it takes to get a dog. Ask her what you can do to be able to get a doggy = ).
Keep me updated and tell me how it went!
