Do you think this is a good deal?? :-?

[My Peanuts]

I think your idea is great. If your parents are anything like mine they will go for it. I also think it is great that you are thinking of adopting a dog with special needs. Before we adopt Harley I tried to adopt a blind Pug named Wesco. Wesco was up for adoption for a long time and it just so happened that the weekend I got a yes from my parents was the same weekend he was adopted :-( . I don't have any experience personally with a deaf dog, but I do with a blind one. Dogs seem to adjust to their surroundings well, so it shouldn't be a problem.

By the way, your birthday is the same as Sylvia's and you seem a lot more mature than 14. You seem like you could handle the responsibility of training a deaf pup. However, it is your decision and any dog from a shelter would be a good choice. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
