Talking parents into a dog?

Thanks tricollie! I have finally realized my family isn't ready for another dog. We have the time and stuff but they still aren't ready. I'll stop bugging them for one. But I will not stop longing for one. I hope you find a perfect pup Tricollie

When we only had Shadow I would bug and bug my parents for another dog, soon I realized it wasn't getting me anywhere and a little while later my mom surprised me with a puppy (or two...lol) and it all went downhill from there We have a housefull now, and its not all because of me, it gets stressfull sometimes but I wouldn't have it any other way. My parents are starting to freak out a little, I am considering moving about an hour away for college next fall and the responsibility of all of my pets will fall on their shoulders, they are a little overwhelmed just thinking about it and I feel absolutely horrible. My original plan was to go to a college where I can still live at home but we are still waiting to hear if I got accepted.

I know how you feel though, even though I know I can't have any more dogs I really really wish I could take in just one more from the shelter, I spent all day at my animal shelter today and we had a huge adoption event. Of course I fell in love with each and every dog there and wished I could take them home so they wouldn't have to be stuck in that nasty place any longer but its really not possible...

Sorry for rambling...I agree if your parents aren't ready then theres really nothing you can do but wait. Good luck!
