tell her you'll meet her half way, like you will do chores and take care of the dog but you have to think about the vet and all that good stuff that costs a lot of money. good luckk!!

Show a lot of responsibility around the house, for one. Go above and beyond what you are usually expected to do - because owning a dog is a lot of work, and your mom probably doesn't want to get roped into doing it all herself. Also, you need to evaluate if your family really needs a dog. Do you have a kennel? Room outside to run - like a fenced yard? Will you be paying for the dog food and the vet bills? Because you must get annual vet care to be a responsible pet owner, and it's not cheap. Each year, we pay about $200 per dog on a routine exam and the flea/tick preventative %26amp; wormer pills. You must realize, also - if your parents don't want a dog, they are probably thinking about the fact that a dog can require a commitment of up to 15 or 16 years. Are you going to live at home for that long? What about when you go off to college? College life isn't a sweet life for a dog, when his owner needs to pay attention to homework or would rather be out with friends than playing frisbee in the park. Mu best advice to you: volunteer your time at a local animal shelter, or put an ad in the paper to be a dog-walker. You will get your puppy fix %26amp; you might even earn some cash in the process. Plus, you parents won't get upset that you keep asking :)
You can't force someone to do something they don't want to do - and you shouldn't TRY to either. Goes to show how much you care about other people and their thoughts/feelings/opinions.....





HER house, HER rules. NO dog means no dog. End of story. You can ask her nicely and ask if she'll meet the dog but the final decision belongs to her, the adult and home owner.





Money is not going to be the only concern she'll have - the responsibility (feeding, training, grooming, walking, vet care, etc) is another. As is what will happen when YOU go to college (very few have pet friendly dorms, very few allow freshmen to live in apartments, and it's very hard to FIND affordable pet friendly apartments where you need them to be.)
Well just try to keep talking to her and show her you're responsible enough to get a dog. spend more time at the shelters, volunteer, help out or even start a petsitting business! in may take a little while but she'll see (if you push her) that you're ready for a dog.
move out...she might even pay for it then!
