I really want a dog
Okay i really want a dog of my own that I take care of and I feed. Im ready for it. But we already have a dog and my mom always says "we are a one dog household" and i just want a small yorkie or a jack russel, or even a chi wa wa. How can i prove to her im ready?? I need advice.

All you have to do is take good care of your other dog in front of her and show her that he is healthy and clean.If she tells you to walk the dog or feed it,listen to her.Then she'll know that you are ready and responsible.I hope it works out.BYE!

It is much easier to have only one dog. It is sometimes very stressful to bring a second dog into the household. Perhaps if you can ask to volunteer at the local animal shelter that will fill the void of wanting your own dog for a while, and if you still insist that you want one, your Mom will then see how responsible you are with animals and may change her mind. Also you will be able to learn how to match dogs with each other, and with your family, so it will be a good fit and not a disaster.

well show her that your responsable. start doing good in school and taking responsability for what you do and stuff. also you could show her your ready by taking care of your current dog. take it on walks, feed it, play with it, and groom it.
i hope i helpeddd.

Quite honestly dear, your mom's refusal probably has nothing to do with you being ready. You could be quite perfectly ready and she just does not want another dog in her home period. That is her choice to make.
Your best bet, if you still want to pursue this, is to find out what exactly her issue with another dog would be and try to address that. If she thinks it costs too much, offer to help pay, if she thinks they wont get walked enough, make up a contract for you to sign about what you will do to take care of a dog. However, if in the end your mother simply does not want another dog in her home, you are going to have to deal with that, because that is her call.
