AH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love my dogs alot, but i want more. My best friend is selling a couple and i asked for her to save one for me. Well, my mom says no, we need money. I'm trying to raise money, but it's too hard with summer school. My dad says the only way we're getting another dog is if we kill our current dogs. I got scared and said no. All I want is just one mroe tiny puppy. One of my current dogs is 7 half way through his life. My other one is only 4. She's not too nice, but anyway, I really want this puppy, but don't know how to get my mom to say yes! HELP!

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Izzy you want another dog? You already have 2 dogs and a hampster and your mom and dad already have to pay for those. But another dog will cost more than you think. There are tons of shots for it to take and if it gets sick, a vets visit is at least 200.00! theres food too. you have two big dogs already with large appitites and another dog means way more dog food! And if you get 3 dogs, you have to pay A LOT of attention to all those dogs! Dogs can be jelous of each other and fight and can be a burden. I would just stick to two dogs because if cobys half way through his life, you might want to give him as much attention as possible then he might live a more longer and happier life! Trust me izzy. You dont want 3 dogs and your parents just dont have the money right now. It would be best for only 2 dogs.

Keep it in your room. Don't let them see it. Make sure you name it that way they'll know your already attached to it and they'll feel to bad to make you give it up. Atleast try going 1 week w/ out them knowing your hiding a puppy in your room. Try feeding it and taking it outside when their not home or sleeping.

dogs are a lot of money and responsibility...getting a puppy it will need shots and stuff and vet visits are expensive too...if your parents need the money chances are they aren't going to say yes and they probably wont budge...you don't have to kill the other two but you could sell them or give them to someone who will take good care of them if you really want this puppy...but remember puppies don't stay puppies very long and the dog will probably get big quickly...if you love dogs like you say you do you'll wait until your older to have to dogs you want and take some strain off of your parents...they're just trying to keep some money in the bank...would you honestly rather they spent all of their money on a dog or on things that are truly necessary for living cut them some slack and let things work them selves out...

Dogs cost a lot, so it might be hard to get your parents to say yes. If you continue trying to raise money and show that you're responsible, they might let you. However, dogs cost more than just to buy them, as I'm sure you know. Your parents are going to have to pay for shots, food, and all sorts of things that dogs require or like.
Although it doesn't hurt to keep trying to get this dog, if you really want it, do realize that it's not always going to be a tiny puppy, and then it will become even more costly. Also, focus on the two dogs you already have--even if the one isn't too nice, you love them both. And just because the one is halfway through its life doesn't mean anything. If you only have two dogs, that means you can spend more time caring for the older one in the correct way, and then he might live even longer.
Well, good luck!

HOney, this is putting a big burden on your parents. Dogs are expensive, and require a lot of attention. One visit to the vet can cost over $200.00 And a new puppy will require shots and worm pills and rabies shots, and distemper shots, etc. etc. Your parents are being responsible by not taking on more pets than they can manage and be responsible for.
I know you won't like this answer, but if you really love dogs, when you grow up, you can have as many dogs as you are able to take care of. That is take care of in full. Love them, exercise them, feed them, get them neutered or spayed, get them all their shots, take them for regular check ups. nurse them when they are sick. And yess I know they will love you right back, unconditionally. The love of a dog is a wonderful thing and there have been many popular books written about it. Some day you will have the chance to experience it yourself. I know when the time comes you will be a great dog owner. Good luck to you.
