DogLover05 don't give up! I feel your pain. I wanted a dog my entire life but my parents said no because of an allergy test I'd taken in the third grade that had said I was allergic to fur. I think that mean lady who gave me the test had just wanted to make me cry! Well cry I did. I would cry very often about my doglessness, and as my mother put it, my life was just not complete without a dog. Finally in eighth grade we met a pregnant Basset named Snuffles who was going to have purebred Basset puppies. My brain started working right away since bassets were my Mom's favorite breed. Well all my plotting worked because we had a family meeting and my parents said that since I was responsible and showed no signs of being allergic to dogs, I could adopt on of Snuffles' puppies! So now I have my Daisy and she is my angel, and my life is now complete! So the point of this story is that if you wait and are patient long enough, you will get your dog some day and it will be more special to you than to kids who have had a dog all their lives. I have a lot of friends who have had dogs since they were little and yah they do love their dogs but they don't appreciate them. They didn't have to beg for a dog for thirteen years like I had to! It makes them more special. So don't give up, keep tryin, and good luck!
