How to Lose Weight Through Acupuncture
Recommended Answer:
Wow! You put a lot of thought into that and backed up your proposal very well with facts and upfront information. If you are allowed to get the dog, make sure you stick by everything you promise or else your parents will question your obligations and things like that. Everything seems good except for the mentioning of them not eating a lot of food so food cost shouldn't be of concern. For some reason that just seemed a little strange to me, I suppose because it sounded like feeding the dog is no big deal, which it is. I would just maybe reword that phrase. Other than that it sounds good to me :)Other Answers:
- good job - i would have let you!
- I would give you a puppy! That was very intriguing. I learned a few things too! If my child wrote this to me ( I might have them write this down and sign it like a contract ) but I would get them one. You seem very ready and responsible for a dog. You've done your research and you have explained everything out. You might want to get a dog create though, not a crib. Its easy to create train. So then he can run around with you all day and sleep in his create at night. But very well done!! Hope you get your puppy!
- Well, I can see you've put a lot of effort into your essay. And included a bit of humor. Kudos for that.But if I were your parent, it wouldn't convince me one bit. Much of your information is not correct. I expect your parents' main concern will be expense and this site will show you how costly dogs are: http://dogs.about.com/od/becomingadogowner/a/costofdogs.htm . Over the dog's lifetime that will be $10,000 to $15,000. And unless you're planning to get a dog from a local rescue, you'll be paying a whole lot more than $250 to $500. For that price, you'll be getting badly-bred dogs from Backyard Breeders, and since they don't do any health-testing on their breeding dogs, you can expect a lot more health issues. Won't be such a bargain if you dog needs a $2000 operation on his patella (knee) so he can walk without pain.... Anyway, put together a *realistic* budget so your parents are aware of the cost and can make an educated decision. " I could give it a bath every week"Way too often. More than once a MONTH and you will dry out coat and skin. If your parents are clean freaks, this isn't going to work...."Is it disgusting to throw away a dog's waste? Not at all, when you potty train it. All you would have to do is tie up the plastic bag and throw it away."Do the stools jump into the bag by themselves? Nope. You have to pick them up (and sometimes if they're a bit soft, they stick to the grass beneath and that has to be cleaned too). It's a chore dog owners have to do, but it IS disgusting. I've never heard one single person say they liked picking up dog poo."It's a known fact that dogs make us walk 40% faster! "No it isn't. Don't make such outrageous claims if you want your parents to take you seriously."I found an animal hospital not far from home. It has fair prices, good quality, and nice service."How do you know the quality and service? You don't. Leave that out of your essay. Same thing with claiming that Furry Pooch takes "great care". You don't know that either. They might be good, they might be terrible. If you do get a dog, it will be up to your parents to research vets and kennels."Pomeranians are small and travel-size, so let them in on the fun as well!"Entirely glossing over the fact that bringing the dog along means severe restrictions to your vacation. Someone has to take care of the dog, and most hotels won't let you leave them alone in the rooms. What if the family wants to have a nice meal, or attend an event? Can't leave the dog in the car or the hotel, can't take him along. That's why many people leave the dog in a boarding kennel, and that's not cheap. "I could vacuum it once every week or twice every month."Poms usually shed twice a year for about 6 weeks each. During that time they shed every minute of every day and it floats all over the house. If your parents are "clean freaks", don't get a dog that sheds a lot. Choose something like a Poodle or a Bichon which doesn't drop a lot of coat."And if you're afraid of the dog sneaking out at night and making a mess out of the house, put it in a crib! "A dog can easily jump or climb out of a crib. If it needs to be confined, get it a proper dog crate. "However, we could get one for adoption and get the bed and accessories with it!"I don't know of any rescue that gives away beds or accessories...."But have no fear, the kids are here! "Now that made me laugh. Yep, you kids are there, helping out for maybe 2 weeks until you realize how much WORK it is to take care of a dog...then you abandon the chores to mom and dad.I suggest you revise your essay and approach things more realistically. Keep the humor, but do more research and give more information. BTW, Poms are NOT a good choice for a home with small children. Too fragile. Choose a sturdier breed if you want to pursue this.As to whether or not your parents will let you have a dog: while it certainly does no harm to ask, if they say no, then accept their decision and don't pester them about it. Your parents' home, your parents' rules.
- Wow, you was very honest with what was the issues and addressed them all and solved them with the nearest places to you! Also, tell your parents not to worry about if the dog will go in what room or jumping up on sofa's or anything as we have trained our dog from a very early stage not to go upstairs or even try coming on the sofa. So that isn't a problem. Tell them the only bad dog is a bad owner. You sound as if you are intelligent and thought it through. Hope you get it, you should write a post or something to let us know.
- It's great that you have done your research on the breed and puppy care, you have put a lot of effort into it, Just a few things;- If you get a puppy remember it would not be allowed any walks where other dogs have been until it has had all of it's shots. - You are right, bathing too often can irritate the skin but I think once a week is still too often. Every 2-3 months would be best.- Pomeranians need daily brushing, are you willing to brush him/her daily? Prepare for a lot of shedding,- Did you mean a crate instead of a crib? Crate training is a great way to help housebreak a dog- Your right about small dogs needing less food but I'm sure you will want the best for your dog, a high quality food is more expensive but would be great. - I would research more on how to train a puppy. (Potty training, crate training, training not to bite, basic command training e.t.c) Here is a good site to help: http://www.perfectpaws.com/pupstuff.html- Remember while potty training, the puppy won't be able to hold his/her bladder all night. Are you willing to get up during the night (even if it's cold and raining) to let your puppy outside?- You could add a few more facts, Pomeranian info: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/pomeranian.htmhttp://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/pomeranian- Adopting a Pomeranian from a shelter would be a great thing to do! You would be giving a dog a second chance in life.- If you do get a puppy, please make sure you buy from a good breeder (reputable breeder) to make sure your puppy will be healthy and have a good temperament.Many parents think that they are going to end up doing all the work. Have you got the time to do everything you say you are going to? Also, if your parents say no then you must respect their decision, you will just have to wait. Maybe do more research and understand why they don't want one. You could even ask to look after a friends dog for a while and see how you all get on. Puppies are a really big responsibility but despite all the hard work they are brilliant companions. Remember to never beg, Good luck!!
- NoMine would have tossed it in the trash so would I. It just shows you are being immature. Puppies require a lot of training, since you will be going to school short, there will be no one home for 6+ hours to take care of the puppy and no one will have the time to train it or take care of it. "Who's going to clean it, throw away its waste, feed it, take it on walks, and keep the house clean?"your parents of course. You wont have time to and once you get bored of it like all kids you wont take care of it at all. Dogs don't teach children a lot of responsibility. Parents do. You wont clean up after it becouse you will be too busy with school. A puppy can't be house broken in the time for school to start so it will mess the house. And you can NOT take the dog to school. You are not allowed to bring dogs onto school property. You clealry expect your panrts to be the one to walk it and not youBoarding is expesnive, 50+ a week easy if nor more. Your panrts dont want to fork out that extra money. As a kid you can't afford it. And you can't haul the poor dog around while on vacation, many hotels wont accept dogs and the ones that do your panrts will have to pay extra" I found an animal hospital not far from home. It has fair prices, good quality, and nice service. It's called the Story Road Animal Hospital. The shots and checkup prices are very affordable"You are making it very clear you expect them to pay for all the vet care since you can't afford it. its 200$ for an average visit and 1,000+ for an emergency. Your panrts don't want to fork out money for a dog they will have to do all the work for. You need to take a dog far more then two or three times a year. And dogs do NOT belong in a crib. Its not a baby. its a dog"Now that I covered all the issues"All you've done is make it clear you expect your parents to pay for everything and for them to do the majority of the work. What are you going to do when you go to collage in a few years? They wont allow dogs in the dorms, your panrts dont want the dog and any pet friendly rentals will be out of your reach" Dogs usually cost 250-500 dollars, and that's not counting the bed, food, or accessories. However, we could get one for adoption and get the bed and accessories with it!"You mean off CL or the like. Thats not an adoption, thats buying a dog from soem one who is a BYBer or a flipper. Such dogs come with massive health and temperament issues. And whats this whole we thing? You mean you panrts will have to pay for the dog as well as pay for all its vet billsIf your panrts are smart they will say no
