Grrrrrr!!

I've wanted a doggy for years, but my mum hasn't let me untill i'm old enough for the responsibility. My older brother and his girlfriend have just got a pup, which my mum's fell in love with, and has now said im aloud one in a few months, or when we come back from Turkey next year.

The problem is, my older brother is trying to put my mum off, saying 'two puppies will be murder', 'What if Tinks doesn't like it' ect. Now, the dog is his girlfriends, and the agreement was to keep the dog at her house, but she's stayed the past few weeks as they are getting quite serious. It's just pee'd me off becuase i've wanted a dog for years, but if my mum doesn't let me have the dog now, surely it's not fair?. It's his girlfriends dog and shouldn't stop me from having my pup?.

Just be glad they've agreed to let you have one, I'm still working on my parents.

If it were me I would wait until the pup is older and 100% litter trained and the pup has got general training well, then get a pup for yourself or get an older rescue dog. That said, if the dog is living with you most of the time why do you want your own?

I know, but this wouldn't be for a few months. It's not the same having your own, my brother is a p***k and won't even let me take pup for walk. We don't see eye to eye.

Ahh I see. I get what you mean about not seeing eye to eye, brothers, who'd have 'em! Especially ones with girlfriends!


If it wont be for another few months I shouldn't see a reason why you couldn't get another pup, providing the existing pup is A. not around much or B. happy to have another dog there. Have you not spoken to your mum about it?

The pups very friendly and been ok around other dogs. My brothers doing this to get back at me!.....

Even in the same house? If the pup is seeing your house as it's territory it will be a whole different ball game having another dog in the house as opposed to meeting whilst out on walks etc..

Nah in the house. But what I don't understand is, she doesn't live here, so why should that stop me having my own pup which i've wanted for years?.

If your mum doesn't want another dog you're best leaving it at that

Like I said have you spoke to your mum about it?

She want's one , but my brothers trying to stir it so I can't have one. I think I wrote the thread wrong.

Well if she wants one then surely that'll be the end of it, unless your brother owns the house!
