I'm only allowed 2 dogs at a time myself. Before I got Josie, I wasn't suppost to get another dog, just Rufy. I got him to give in by paying for her, and everything else. As for Zeke, I knew if I got him out to look at him, he'd give in, and, when I got to university, prob not here, I'll just live off campus in a place with my dogs :] Maybe you could do the same if it's a prob :]
