Oh no Kay!! What can we do to convince your parents to let you take her? Co-owning would be great if you can do it. What a sweetheart Coco is and she fits in so well with the Muttlies. Could your Mom and Dad allow just one more doggie to come into the house? The more the merrier. Right? Do you think Monica would be willing to help out with her upkeep if you could take her? Maybe your parents would be more receptive if you all could get some help with extra expenses. Good luck
