Have read entire thread and have got a headache. Just 3 points
1. Are the animals okay?
2. If Mom hates them so much why not just say "no you can't have a pet" - plenty do. Once you have a place of your own (i.e. when you are older) you can fill it with as many animals as you want as long as you are able to provide for each and every one of them
and
3. If she slept with her phone under her pillow someone could take her number and give her an early morning wake up call!!
(was going to put point 4 - when did Borzoi come back but thought better of it)
One more thing - this is just my opinion but I don't think parents should let their children have pets unless the parent is prepared to take on the care and responsiblity of the animal. I only let my daughter have all our animals because I knew I would be happy to look after them too and not leave it all to her. My parents weren't "pet people" which is why I didn't get every cat/dog/rabbit I set my heart on - doesn't make them bad parents, makes them responsible
