my mom has wanted this dog for 4 weeks and she keeps saying in random situations;"I just cant keep my mind off that puppy", or, "That dog would be very good with our family." every time she says it, everyone near her says "THAN GO GET THE DOG!!!" my dad is just slowing things down by accusing my mom of saying she wont get it than she will. the dog is right now living with about 5 other dogs and getting older by the second. the rest of my siblings are trying to get my mom to go get the dog but she keeps saying we dont have the food or the toys or the bed, etc.. and we tell her to go get the stuff but she says she doesnt know if we are even going to get it. if we wait any longer, when we DO get the dog it will have developed bad habits that we cant fix... what should i do?

Just get the Puppy as soon as you can and the day before go out and get everything you need. A bed, crate, food dish/ water dish, leash, collar, a brush (the type you need for the kind of fur, not sure what kind of dog this is), some puppy safe toys and edible puppy chews especially if its teething now (it will help keep it from chewing up your belongings), a quality puppy food and then take it to the vet ASAP. If you have the money for all that, the time and cost for the up keep and know the responsibly of owning a puppy (a lot of work) than you're ready. Hope this helps!

You guys just need to pin her down. And if it is a puppy be sure it is with its Mom at least 8 to 10 weeks and when you get it be sure to handle it all over it's body and help it's brain form strong connections, handle feet, ears, mouth etc. Helps him to be more cooperative at the vets and makes him much smarter later in life.
And tell your Mom to either bake that cake or stop talking about it. Your having a sugar attack.
good dog info:

I think you need to give up on it. Sounds like mom wants it, but finds reasons not to get it. I dont think your family is going to get the dog.. otherwise mom would have already got the supplies.

Why don't you, your siblings and dad all go and get it for her and surprise her. Also you guys go and buy the stuff that it needs and you mom will be happy that she doesn't have to think about all that other stuff. It seems that she wants it so make the decision for her.
