How can I convince my parents to decide to get me a dog? General Dog Discussions
When I was about nine months old my family got a chocolate lab from a farm for $20. I grew up with her and she was my best friend. I was her main owner. I fed her and took her for walks, etc. On the 19th of June last year she sadly passed away of several strokes. I was distraught, and I felt like my sister had died. After a period of " mourning" I think I'm ready for another dog. I've asked my parents to adopt from a shelter to save a life, and I've proven that I was responsible. My parents have said no. What is a mature way to change their minds?
