she bought it for my birthday....(december 4th this year)
and if we have a disagreement, she always uses the: 'i bought her, and i can take her back' line.
every since we got the dog, she has been harsh to her...she calls her dirty, she tells me to put her down...and just mean things.
she gets mad at me because i treat the dog like the baby that she is.(3 months old)
she told me that she was going to give the dog away because i have a bad mouth and she said that she would throw her out on the highway. i told her that she wouldn't do that..and that if she put the dog out, i would go with the dog. she said no, i can't because she bought her, therefore, it's her dog.
so, lately, i have been kinda ignoring the dog. i feel bad because she's used to me playing with her, but my mom made it clear that she did not buy here because she wanted me to have her. now, she's saying that she's giving her away because i don't do anything for her. idk what to do now. any suggestions?

It sucks when your mom is wrong. Sometimes adults believe that since they are adults they are always right. And since you are a kid you are always wrong. However that is not always true. Even parents make mistakes but for some strange reason they can't seem to accept it.
Try talking to your mom and being reasonable. Tell her that you love this dog. Tell her how you feel. Don't raise your voice at her and be disrespctful or you'll make her angry. Let her know if it's possible if you two could share the dog. Dogs need affection.

Your mom is an abusive parent, she just wants to make you miserable and keep controlling you, using the dog as leverage. I know it is painful, but just keep loving the dog and ignore her hateful ways. She must love you b/c she got you the puppy in the first place. I do not think that she would get rid of the dog (unless she is an alcoholic, druggie...) Then give the dog away to a friend that will allow you to see the dog. I am so sorry for you, I can relate to this situation, my father was the same way with me.

Your mother is wrong. I would not neglect the puppy. Play with her and ignore your mother. If she does anything to the dog I would call the police. Animal abuse is illegal. She should not threaten to hurt the dog to get at you. That is also abuse. The puppy was a gift and that make it yours. It does not matter if she bought it. She gave it to you and it is yours. If she keeps this up you need to tell another adult what she is doing to you.

Wow, your mom's messed up. Try to talk to her and explain that you're confused, and from now on take care of the dog yourself, and train her well so she doesn't mess up the house.
