There is this puppy i'm attached to. It's up for adoption.
I'm more attached to her than my other dogs.
My mom and me want to keep her, but my dad doesn't seem like he wants to.
My brother likes her, and my other brother doesnt. But my 3 sisters like her. We all want her except 2 people.
Well, here is my point: If I don't have that puppy, I will have NO reason to live. I don't know what to do.
You have to keep the dog on monthly flea and heartworm prevention, regular vet visits, puppy vaccines (Distemper/Parvo is a series of 4 vaccines 3 weeks apart from each vaccine plus rabies, bordetella, etc). And have to have funds readily available for emergencies.
Not including the daily care of the puppy is a lot. I know puppies are all cute and everything... trust me, I know... but you have to be realistic at the same time. Good luck! [ Ginguhh's advice column | Ask Ginguhh A Question ]

DONT GIVE UP!
good luck:)
p.s. make an aggreement that you will take care of the puppy. [ sparkle26's advice column | Ask sparkle26 A Question ]
