i agree with Kay. prooving you are responsible will more than likely help.

Welcome to PT first of all...

I agree with Kay also. The best thing would be to show that you are responsible enough for another dog!

Good luck!

I hope you keep an open mind about the future. In 4-5 years you might be going to college or trying to find your first apartment. You might leave your dog/dogs with your parents if they are willing to care for them while you are in school and two energetic dogs might not be something they are up to dealing with. And finding a place is hard enough with one. Maybe you can find an adult dog that is still playful now, but that you'd expect to have slowed down quite a bit by that time. An adult will probably be trained and neutered too which leaves less worry for your parents.

That is exactly what my Baby sister did she got a dog and now is in College and we are the ones that look after it!

I was never in your boat as I have always had dogs.. but I agree with Kay. Show that you are responsible by cleaning the house, doing chores the first time being asked, etc. Good luck! and please know that dogs are very costly and make sure your parents know that, too.

Dont worry we know the costs of a dog.And we have no problem of paying for it.

I know. But the dog I have now is VERY well behaved and I dont think my parents would want me to take her away. They love her. And they would probably get attached to a new dog too.
