Good luck!

irishsweetie1512 well I think that you should show your dad that you could take care of a puppy maybe you should get some info about puppies and show your dad that you could clean up after him you could also list some things he might like that a dog could help him with

Okay: Tell your dad that you will feed it and take care of it. Just tell him that you think your very responsible. Also just say “ Let me go about a week being responsible” and then will he let you get a puppy. That worked for me and my mom said that we weren’t getting anymore animals. Oh, and you can get your dog from a breeder, just make sure you have all of the papers with it’s shots and everything. Definatly not a pet store. LEt me know if you do get one.
