Oh KayAnn, I'm so sorry. I know how you feel, you may not believe me, but I do. I have been begging to get another dog, my own dog, for too many years to count. I cried, I begged, I pleaded. When my best friend's (at the time) dog had puppies...I helped raise them, I was over there every day...I was attached to a little pup named Socks....Of course they wouldn't let me keep her. I still don't even know WHY they let me get Nebo (I think they felt sorry for me at the time..pancreatitis)

I wish you would have taken your camera, I would love to see pics of her sweet face! I bet she is just beautiful.

What is your parents main reason for not letting you get a dog? Why don't you try and tell them to (calmly) give you the reasons they don't want another dog? Maybe they could write it down. And then you (maybe with the help of us) could nicely give a reply to their reasons. This is probably a dumb idea, but you could give it a try. I know I got frustrated with my parents...their "reasons" were ridiculous, and they would never even give me a chance to reply.

I know that you are a caring, responsible person and would make a great "mom" to another pup. I can tell that just from talking to you online these past months! Simba might have a hard time adjusting to a new dog, but it is possible to work things out. Reggie and Smokey still don't like Nebo, but we are working on it...they were even running around together this afternoon.

Just be warned of one thing.....if they decided to let you, and they said the dog was YOURS, which means you have to pay for everything...It is a lot more expensive then you would imagine. Nebo has drained me down to nothing. So maybe if you got a job, your parents would be more willing. Just a thought. I'm still working on getting a job. Oh, but, as I'm sure you know, the money you have to spend on them is well worth it!
