How can I be allergic to one dog but not another?

My dog died a year ago and my parents still don't want another dog. How do I convince them to get another one?

  • I have researched everything there is to know about getting a new puppy or dog. I have shown my parents pictures of dogs from the pound that needed a home, and they say awwwww but do nothing about it. I have offered to pay for the dog, help pay for its food, and even take care of it like it was mine. Still all they can say is we don't want the responsibility of a dog. I tell them that neighbors and even my friends can help watch the dog if we are on vacation but all they do is nod. We have had a dog before and we all loved her so it's not like my family hates animals. They even say that if we did get a dog that they would be happy but they don't want one. It's been over a year since my last dog died and I just don't understand why they say no. What can I do to really convince them. I do all of my chores and then some, I have straight As, I am a really good kid so please help. Im 15, have a job and am willing to help pay too. Please no dumb suggestions, I need some good stuff.

  • Answer:

    If you're a normal teenager, in a couple years, you will have other things on your mind and they will be stuck caring for your dog and they realize this even if you don't. Forget it, they don't want the responsibility and they're not going to given in. You're 15 and in a few years, you'll be out on your own. If you still want a dog, you can get one then.

Because you are 15 and the dog you get will likely live until you are 27. In that time you will likely go to university, leaving the dog at home where they will be responsible for it. Maybe they just don't want another one, you can't force them to have an animal in their house when they don't want it. When you get a place of your own where you can own a dog get one for sure. Sorry, their house their rules.

tell your parent that is your dog, that he never dies and you just give it to a friend ,, and the new dog colored like your old dog

The question here is what does it take to convince you that your parents do not want another dog? They have told you and told you and told you. They are aware that you want a dog but it is their house and they do not want another dog. I am very sorry for you but you're going to have to wait until either they change their minds (with no help from you) or you get older. If you can find a family that shows dogs, they may let you go along to shows and even teach you the finer points of handling, what makes a good specimen and much more. Another adult *might* be able to change your parents' minds but don't count on it. At least, if you can hang out with dog show people, you can be around a lot of dogs and make some important contacts for your future pet/show dog.

You don't You are a child and you can't own, adopt or buy a dog and I doubt you can afford one. Your parents don't want a dog, suck it up, grow up and respect them instead of being a brat and begging them for something you know you can't have. Its not your house and its not your rules. Your parents will be the ones taking care of the dog most the time and they know it. Doing your chores is something you should be doing any way and doenst show that you are responsible. Getting good grades is something you should be doing any way and doenst show that you are responsible. It doenst matter what you want, what matters is your parents don't want a dog and acting like a spoiled brat will only make them want one even less
