Can you take care of the dog? Can your family afford the food, vet bills for neutering and the yearly inoculations, etc? Will you walk the dog twice a day, at least, and make sure it is happy and comfortable? Will you train it to be a good, obedient animal? If you can say yes to these questions, then write it all out and show it to your mother. Also, figure out the costs ahead of time so she knows you've done your homework. Good luck.

After 6 months she's probably tuned you out. Give it a rest. Maybe she doesn't think you'll take care of it. Yeah, I know ALL kids promise to take full responsibility for the pet. Then 3 months later the new's worn off & Mom's cleaning the floors, spraying febreeze everywhere, giving the baths, paying all costs & you've got homework or dance class.
She said no for 6 months. Get a clue!

well....it depends....did she say no because you are lacking the reponsibility needed to take care of an animal....or because money is tight. you need to understand how expensive it is to have a pet. you should do some research online...find a vet...find out information like what is needed for the dog....shots, how much it costs to get fixed, ect...how much the dog will eat everyday...research prices of different foods...how many times you need to walk the dog each day...how long he needs to be outside.....maybe if she sees that you understand what it takes she will be more open. if it is a money issue try to get a job...mowing lawns....whatever to help with the cost.

Wait until you are a grown up and can take care of the dog yourself.

Look in the newspaper for a free dog... go get it and hide it in your room so your mom won't see it.
