How can I convince my parents to buy (or let me buy) a German Shepherd puppy for my birthday?
How can I convince my parents to let me buy a german shepherd puppy for my birthday? We have SEVEN dogs….Not all of which are mine. My brother feeds the dogs, but I promise to feed the german shepherd if I buy it. I also have a siberian husky- who my mom tells me all the time “I ignore” because I don’t walk him daily or let him run around (hello, he’s a husky- if he gets out of his pen it’s like “bye, Charlie, see you tomorrow”- he runs away).
I want a German shepherd because I think it would be a ideal property/livestock guardian, a show animal and family pet.
I can’t get a car for my birthday, or my license (b/c I got the permit soooo late) and I think a puppy would be a great way to remember my birthday for years to come- something to protect us from coyotes.
Any ideas on how to convince them? I know, I know- we have A LOT of dogs- but I have a job: I can buy the dog food for the puppy and get her her shots. Any suggestions on pursuading my parents?
