puppy convincing
Awhile ago i asked about getting a puppy
I've got my mom totally convinced but its my step dad that won't even budge.
My step dad (i do love him, just hate his rules) is strict in a weird way. ex. I can't draw on the sidewalk with chalk for the sake our house costs 300,000 dollars and is far to nice.. but yet i dont have a curfew on the weekend or school week
Anyways, we're bring it up to him again tuesday night so if people could give me great things to say please do
I also do not have my license and live in the far out country so i can stay home and be with it alot. (i also got approval for it to travel with me to my dads house)
(its a small chihuaha)

Yo.
Tell your step dad that you will take care of the dog, feed it, walk it, clean up after it, etc. Say that dogs are great companions for kids and adults. Chihuahas are tiny, so you could mention that there wouldnt be any problems with spavce...
Hope I helped!!!

well, it looks as though he has cleanliness issues, because yes, a dog can be a messy creature and they can also be almost more needy than a child because they need your love so much and your companionship, its hard not to fall in love with them and they do become part of the family,If you couldn't tell already,I have two big dogs. But back to the point, especially in their puppy years they can cause a lot of damage or destruction (potty accidents, using your furniture and favorite shoes as a chew toy, etc.)But a chihuaha is rather small, and probablly isn't even as destructible as my dogs were when they were young babies. (If you are able to get one) even though its small and more contollable you should still train it and teach them to obey your commands. This will make them and you understand eachother better and will make you both happier in the future when you're not yelling at her/him for not doing what you wanted them to. I know though that this in not an answer to your question or helping, I just want you to get one too! if your willing to take the time and love to take care of it. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO is make points to your step-dad about what you're going to do to take care of it and emphasize especially on the cleanliness factor (for ex, explain to him that they barely shed because they are so tiny (different breeds of chihuaha's shed less than others) If there were to be a couple hairs here or there you will vaccuum and they'll be gone as well you will give them a tiny brush to get the loose hairs out every now and then, explain that you're planning to potty train him/her so that it will let you know when it needs to go outside to go the bathroom (that means there will be little chance for accidents, and you will take him out a few times a day while he is in the training process (usually should be in the morning, afternoon, afterdinner, and nighttime...dogs start to sniff around before they decide to go so pay attention to how long its been since he/she last whent and if they are showing signs they need to go, as well mention all the other responsibilities of taking care of a puppy but like I said, emphasize that they are tiny dogy and there wouldn't be much of a mess. Add to your argument, There wouldn't even be a sign that a dog even lived there if people didn't know you had a dog, etc) I know once you get a pup your dad will not be able to help but fall in love with i,t its just the hard work of getting him to agree with you and your mom, I hope he budges and if he doesn't on Tuesday keep trying:) Good luck!

you should say that you will definitely take care of it. and if you do say that, you HAVE Too! and say youll clean up the dog poop in the yard.
and tell him its totally worth the cost.
