Well...

[Lobodeb]

It sounds like the decision has already been made and all of your valid points are moot.

I, too, think it's too early and I'm really concerned about the financial stuff.

Just my 2 cents.

Edit to add:

Does Roxy have all of her vacines to make sure she's not exposed to whatever Tink had if it was contagious?

[Flatcoatluver]

If for sure you are getting this puppy, have you and your mom considered pet insurence??

[Uabassoon]

Maybe you could spend more time with Roxy, work on her and maybe convince your parents to let her be inside with you. It's sad that you didn't have enough money to take Tink to the vet, you have a dog that lives outside on a chain yet you still want another dog

NOBODY here is "b*tching" at her at all, we all just want to make 100% sure that she knows what she's getting into and want to make sure that the situation will be best for her AND the puppy and she will NOT have to deal with another repeat of the Tink situation.

Not to be rude, but she is only 13 and she probably doesn't fully know/understand the financial situation. I'm sure her mom will get her another dog because she says she is lonely, and she will most likely do *anything* to get another dog, even if they don't have the money. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's hard to believe everything she says about money because she is only 13. I know when I was 13 I didn't fully understand everything about bills, and if my mom said we could get another dog I'd lie about anything to get it and have everyone on my side.

And don't bring up the "age doesn't matter" crap, because when it comes to the life of an animal a 13 year old shouldn't be fully responsible. I was extremely mature at 13 but I STILL shouldn't have been responsible for an animal's life, so even if this girl is really smart I think her mom needs to play a bigger role in this and not have her pick out the breeder. Her mom needs to do some research.

No matter what is decided, it is your mom and you who make the decission. If it is meant to be then it will happen. Good luck on the new baby!!!!!!

WHAT?! She lives on a chain?! I didn't know that! You definetly don't need another dog if the one you have now has to live outside ... you need to pay more attention to her.

[CathyBogart]

This disgusts me. You really need to look at the well-being of the dog you DO have before you start looking at adding another to your household.

Ditto

[wolf_Q]

I try to stay out of threads like this but I just wanted to say that I agree. Wanting another dog so soon is not what bothers me, it's the fact that poor Roxy still lives outside on a chain and she doesn't seem to care about improving that, and not taking Tink to the vet when she was obviously very ill.

[Kirbys Mom]

well what can you do when you dont have to money? i dont think if you dont have to money to take tink to the vet then you dont have the money to get another dog...yes roxy should be able to live in the house and if not given to some one that can give her that.

[areias]

I'm not getting too much into this. I highly suggest NOT getting another dog until your mom is finacially stable, and poor Roxy...I've felt sorry for her since I heard she was on the chain outside. But if you're going to be stubborn, here:
Look at this face!
He's housebroken. Crate trained. And dosen't have many, if any, health problems. Whoo hoo!

And look...a pom puppy! For adoption.

I'm adorable...
And look at this. A purebred pom, pregnant by another pure pom, having puppies that will be ready after the first of the year...for adoption, at a rescue!

If you -have- to have another dog, please rescue. I plan on getting a papillon within a year or two, and I will be rescuing. You don't need to get one from a breeder, especially if you're not showing.
