I would really appreciate it if you give me an honest answer. Ok 2 years ago we got a dog, a chihuahua. My mom went crazy over him and she NEVER let him go. The year after that we got a yorkshire terrier and she started going crazy over that and treating our chihuahua like dirt. She put him inside a small room but let the yorkshire terrier run around the house. When I ask her why she's so mean she always says it's because that chihuahua doesn't know where to wee and he sheds. And it's always a lie. In front of PEOPLE she says that. But to me she goes on and on and on about how terrible my chihuahua is. I like my chihuahua better than my yorkshire terrier because my chihuahua is loyal since i had him since he was a small pup. And I can't help it I want to keep my chihuahua. And my mom's keep telling my dad to sell it. And whenever I say no my mom snaps at me and tells my dad to shut me up. What do I do?? I want to keep my chihuahua!!

I know it's hard sometimes, to understand the adult brain Hon! You are however obviously in a situation that you probably can't win. Try talking to your Dad about it, explaining how you feel, just like you did to us. If he is on your side, you are 50% there already. Otherwise, why not try and find a nice home for him, preferably with a friend or family member that you trust. That way, you won't "loose" your best friend, and you will also be able to still see him whenever you want. Think about him having a better life than being locked up in a room all day! Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could run in a garden too?? Sorry Hon, but at the end of the day, if you are still living under your parents roof - they are the law makers. Good luck though. My Sausage Dogs are my world! I know just how you feel. When I got divorced, I had to say goodbye to my St Bernard, cos he was too big for the place I am living in now. (He went with my X though, so I see him whenever I want - Win Win)

It isn't uncommon for people to get a pupply, love it, and then when it grows up lose interest in it or find things about it they don't like. Very often that's because they don't do what they should to train the dog.
Maybe, too, your chihuahua has done some wetties around the house, and she's cleaned it up a few too many times.
Maybe you could just take some responsibility for the little dog you like to think of as yours, bring him out with you when you can, bring him out to walk, and generally keep your eye on him (even if that means keeping him in your room when you're home (so if she locks him in the other room when you're not he won't be in there too long).
Talk to your father and say what you've said here. Your father may be able to point out any legitimate complaints your mother has about the dog or else he may be able to point out to her that you have good reasoning on this issue.
There are always ways things can be worked out if the people involved are willing to give a little.

I would say the best thing for you to do is to take more responsibility for the chihuahua and it's care if you want to keep it. Show your Mom that she won't have to deal with it because you want to be it's main caretaker. Talk to your parents about how much the little dog means to you and ask to take over responsibility for it then follow through on it. I hope you do get to keep him since he has been part of your family for some time. Step up and save the chihuahua!!! Good luck.

Try and get your mom to feel guilty. Show her pictures from when you first got the chihuahua. Maybe she'll realize what she has done.
