Ok, here's the deal. Me and my family moved from Tennessee to Kentucky about a year ago. (At the time i didn't have any pets, but i had some little ducks that died a couple of weeks before.) I have always loved dogs, and when we first moved up here, i asked if i could get one or work at the animal shelter or something, but Mom and Daddy said no. It was reeeeeally hectic moving in and stuff. It's now summer, I am out of school and have nothing to do. I am positive that if i adopted a puppy I would have enough time to love it and play with it and train it. I have been cautious about nagging my parents too much, but I think the next time I go at it, I should have some really good arguments. Here's the main thing i have to beat.

The next door neighbor (well technically it's across the raod, but..) has two dogs- Hoss and Panny. Both of them chase cars. I have had two furkids die from being runover, but at our new house we have a fenced in area. My thinking is that if I catch my new puppy chasing cars... i can put it back there. I don't want to see another puppy die, but i really miss those hugs and kisses and unconditional love.

Any good reasons whY I should be able to adopt a puppy?
