just wanted to share my good news.. let me give you the brief back story first though before I spill it..

alright well, just recently we found out that my friend's sister was unable to keep their puppy, so she asked if I would be interested in taking her since she knows I love dogs, and Ive always wanted one. I had met the pup before and I knew she was a great dog and I would love to give her a home. however, we both knew my parents dont want a dog and it would be hard getting them to even listen to what we had to say, but I thought its worth a try, right? so, she came over the other night and we talked to them, and surprisingly enough they actually listened to what we had to say, took us seriously, and said they wanted to meet the dog before they gave an answer. I was shocked but still quite apprehensive and wasnt expecting them to say yes. so the next day we brought the pup over for about an hour and things went okay (other than the fact that she went number 2 in the house LOL oops..). so then that night my parents and I talked about it and they said she was much too big (shes 55 lbs now and will probably get to be around 80 or so!) so I couldnt get her. however... they went on to say they now realize how important it is to me to have a dog so they said we can get a (smaller) dog! hfsjdhfsdhf it is all quite shocking and Im still unsure of how to feel. haha I already know I want to adopt from the humane society where I volunteer, so now I just have to wait for the right dog to come along.
