How do I convice my parents to let me get another dog?

My parents won't let me get another dog and I really want one. We have a maltese currently but that's like the family dog and she's more attached to my mom. I really want my own dog. How can I convince them that I can take care and pay for the other dog and they won't have to chip in. I even suggested given up christmas!How do I convice my parents to let me get another dog?
i am currently going through the same thing. except my mom has a gigantic husky. but i know how u feel !





try asking them for another maltese. that's probably the best bet, since u already have one. what kind of dog do u want? if u want a big dog, then tell your parents that big dogs are better protection. if u want a small dog, then say it can be a 'playmate' for the maltese. are u sure u want a dog? if u get one, just remember that u will have to pay the expenses, and i kno that dogs are very expensive....so be sure you're ready for that. however, if u really want one (which i think u do) then just tell ur parents (convince them) that u are responsible enough to take care of one. have something to back u up though...do some research on what particular breed u want. then explain the pros and cons (but mostly the pros hehe) to your folks. also, tell them that having a dog all ur own is grrrreat experience for u for later in life (when u start having kids), because dogs are a lot like kids. if u get a dog that is all yours, it would be like having a child. dogs need lots of love. there are so many dogs out there that don't receive the love that they deserve. if u have extra space in your heart to love a dog, then u deserve one !! (ha, tell that to your parents)





of course, u could also ask them when they're in a reallllly good mood...How do I convice my parents to let me get another dog?
That is exacally what i did. my puppy i got was a cristmas present. Just tell your parents that if they get u it then u wont get any other at least big things for cristmas.
just bring one home and say you cant return it because the people you got it from moved and thats why they had to give you the puppy. Thats what I did with my last dog.

U DON'T NEED ANOTHER ONE
Talk to tour mom or dad and say if i prove i can take care of our dog for a certain amount of time can you consider me getting another dog?
i have no idea but if you do succeced please tell people how becuase im working on the same thing right now
I have a Maltese too and this is my best friend, no kidding, so........I think maybe if you mention another Maltese to your mom that perhaps she would go for that.
Just tell your parents that if you get a new dog you'll train him. Like how to get the newspaper for dad or fetch mom her slippers.
Puppy eyes or try screaming at the top of your lungs if that does not work do chores for no reason to prove you are responsible.
say i will kill myself


so they will bring it to you


i have tried this before ...hehehe
if they dont want you to get a dog dont get one
say that you will take care of your dogs and maybe they will make an exeptoin!





P.S.That is how i got my female scottie tyler
dont get another love the one u have
Parents know things we don't sometimes. Dogs, although I LOVE them to death, are a constant chip from the income and take much time out of the day in making sure they are healthy. Perhaps your parents are only doing what's best...
how did u get the 1st dog? use that to get the2nd GOODLUCK
I would do the old visual trick, bring home a puppy let them see it and fall in love with it. My dad fell for it everytime :) good luck!
