Dear mom,

You're a great parent but you still constantly let me down. You know how badly I've wanted a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I know you would love one too. You love the breed so much. I've been researching on them for about a year now, and I found a very good reputable breeder in New Jersey. I sent you the link and you said "we will see". You even said you were leaning more toward yes. This morning, you disappointed me by saying no. PLEASE stop getting my hopes up every time I ask you. YOU KNOW how badly I want a second dog, especially a cavy. You did the SAME thing with the camera. You say we can't afford it but you can afford a $400 prom dress for Jaclyn. Seriously, stop crying poverty every time I ask you for something expensive.

Love your daughter,
Alyssa
