Answers:
Look up the type of dog you are wanting on the internet and put the page in Favorites at the top of the screen. Get information on it and tell her that you know how to take care of it. Show her the page about it and say that you will come home and take care of it every day, love on it, give it all of the attention it needs, house train it, and anything else you can think of. Keep asking, but don't do it too much or she may just ground you. (That's what my mom does.) Just keep trying to persuade her the best that you can.
Get a pretend one and treat it really well.
Pretend that you have a dog, and take care of it. Walk it, feed it, play with it. Maybe she will change her mind.
the reason is you can leave that dog with your friend and not think about it but you have to know dog never grow up meaning the they need 24 hour care they can't take care of them self theus use to a very liong time ago but your not dealing with a wild animal maybe you should start off with a fisd and if you take care of that really good maybe she will change her mind
ask if you can have a hamster or something and look after it really well and fuss over it loads everyday then maybe she will change her mind.
i think u should show ur mom that u r responcible and then mayb shell give in =)
You should act responsible and help her around the house
without her having to ask you, make good grades(do your best),
and do some serious research on the type of dog you're interested in. My mom isnt to keen on dogs but I used this method for only a month and now the family is going to have
a christmas pup! good luck and best wishes
Pets like dogs can cost alot of money, maybe your Mom would rather spend it on something other than a pet?
Show her you can take on the extra work. Do the dishes, vacuum the floors, clean the bathroom, make good grades, etc. Also, research the kind of dog you want. Good Luck!
if your mum as said no then no amount of begging is going to work hunny sorry x x x
Ask your friends if they will let you have their dogs for longer periods - and ask your mam if she will let you - the thing is your mam has to think of a lot of things. We have two dogs - Giant Schnauzers - and the total cost per month works out around £50 per dog! There is insurance at around £20 and their food - that costs around £30 a month -
On top of that there are the treats, leads, collar tags, bedding, bowls.. time for training - cost of training. medical bills (insurance ALWAYS has an excess to pay!)
So - owning a dog is not just the nice bits of walking and playing.
You must consider all of these things and understand your mam is looking at a much wider picture.
I hope you can come to some arrangement though as they are wonderful to have!
maybe shill change her mind sometime? if you leave her alone maybe she will? who knows!!!
mums usually have such worries . only persistence pays in these cases. you have to remind her at every opportunity with logical reasoning that she should agree to getting the dog. parallely you must keep demonstrating that you are a responsible person who can handle all tasks that are related to you without any "mom" follow-up.
improve what you are doing and do a better job at it..beg and print a picture of it and write all the good stuff about it..
good luck
at the end of the day its up to your mum. i think you should wait until you have your own place and space. then theres no arguments. i no it seems hard but honestly when that time comes its the best ever. im not bein negative just realistic. maybe deep down your mum doesnt want a dog think about her feelings after all its your mums home.
exact sme thing w/ me!!!!!!!!!
well you could borrow a for a week from a friend and show that you can do it an can be responsible and then you see you can find out for yoursel if it's still what you want. my cousin did it and she has a choc labrador now
Look after a dog for weekends, some dog charities eg Hearing dogs for Deaf people allow families to foster a dog at weekends, to get dogs out of their kennels.
my mum was exactly the same, i now have 2.your mum proberly dont feel that she would cope with a dog around and a puppy is alot of responsibility.who will be paying the vets bills?training it?socialising it?feeding?etc etc.perhaps your mum dont want to be tied down with all the responsibilitys.i pay everything for my dogs and it does all come to alot of money.i suggest if your not old enough maybe waiting till you have a job then you can prove to your mum that you can pay for it and properly look after it.
Have you thought about dog-sitting or dog-walking?
I have asked for a dog all my life, my mum finally agreed to get me and my sister a puppy, it was wonderful. You have to realise what a HUGE responsibility a dog is. Do your research on what breed you want, cost etc.. Dogs are very loving they need so much attention, is there someone to look after the dog during the day, what about when u go on holiday can you afford it? If all these questions can be answered with proper answers maybe put them to your mum. I'm sure you will get your dream dog sooner or later!
cows or zebras?
Why are ginger cats always male, and tortoiseshell female? Just curious.?
Can you eat slugs ?
can budgies be kept in the same cage as Canaries?
crushed oyster or coral?
I want to rescue a parrot?
Is my dog normal or confused?
my puppy was just spayed and now not feeling well?
