I have been trying to convince my parents to adopt another dog for 2 years now, and so far nothing seems to be working. But the other night, they seemed to open up a little.

My mom saw a puppy on TV, and she was like "that is the cutest puppy I've ever seen." I said "Then WHY can't we get one??!" She replied "they shed". I challenged her "Why can't we get a dog that doesn't shed?". Then silence from MOM And Dad, so I guess they couldn't think of a reason. Then my dad said "We saw the cutest dog in Staten Island today. It was a spaniel. a little one". I go "A king charles spaniel?" and my mom said "Yes, it was a very friendly little dog and it didn't seem to shed." I was stunned. I immediatly went upstairs and looked up some dogs up for adoption in my area, but I sprung on them too fast. We were back to "WE AREN'T getting another dog!" but my dad was smiling when he said it. Then I hear them talking about it now. He knows he wants one. It's time to take this up a notch! The more I help out with sassy, the more I research, the more I e-mail and show them dogs up for adoption I know it will work! I have been lazy but now I'm getting serious.

Sorry for the pointless board, I can't hold in the joy I'm feeling! I think I may have found the breed they are interested in. I will be doing alot of research and looking into plenty of shelter/rescues. This may take awhile but wish me luck!
