Oh.. them my mom is the opposite. She is really good at throwing stuff out! I think right now our house is in good condition! Except for part of out kitchen (we are redoing our kitchen cabinets and stuff so we had to load the stuff that used to be in the old cabinets onto the floor of our room that's part of out kitchen!

My mom is not exited too much... they are only giving me a dog because I really want one. But I am not allowed to get one before until August, September, or October. I am the only one who is excited. Hahaha. But it is really sweet of my family to let me get a dog! :)

"Getting a dog," raising a puppy, requires the cooperation of everyone. Will your parents help with training and housebreaking the dog? If you are the only one who thinks this is a good idea it could be a very unhappy experience for everyone, including the dog. I don't do the actual inspection BUT I do know that the people who do look for things the puppy can get into, particularly harmful cleaners and the like, in plain view. They make certain that the people adopting know puppies are inquisitive, chew, get into everything they can find. You can try but you cannot police them 24 hours a day. |

are you saying that someone will try to kill the dog unpurpose??? im so confused??? Puppies are like human toddlers -- they get into stuff you never would have thought about. Just a day or so ago, someone posted on here that her puppy was bleeding and wouldn't drink and wouldn't move. She thought he had gotten into the garbage and swallowed rib bones from their supper. By morning, the dog was dead after bleeding all night. He might have had torn intestines from the bones or been suffering from parvo. That's why you have to outthink your puppy and what he might get into. You have to puppy-proof your house. (Do you know what parvo is?) |

|
|

|
Also, it costs money to own a puppy -- vet care, shots, maybe emergency vet care, leash, collar, toys, dishes, kennel, obedience school. |

What is parvo?
|
||||
|
|
|
||||
|
It's a very contagious virus that puppies can get. Canine parvovirus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If the puppy shows any signs of this, you must get him to a vet asap. |

I really don't want that to happen to my future dog :( :( :(: :(

Like I said before, read up on puppies and what to expect. When they are teething, they will chew on everything. Someone in your house has to be the alpha person, so the puppy learns obey that person instantly. Having a puppy is a lot of responsibility -- not just a furry thing to roll around with and pet now and then. What will the puppy do when you're at school? What if no one is at home? Where will the puppy be then? How will you train the puppy to pee and poop outside? |
||||
|
|
|
||||
|
Well.. if the puppy poops or pees in the house... I will scold it. And bring him/her/ outside

Adult dogs often come with their own sets of problems. How do your parents feel about paying for Vet bills (which can be sizable)? And neutering? |

He/she will probably sleep in my room in a crate or a bed. And I probably won't hit it. And if she/he had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night... I would probably ask someone to come with me out side :) And do you have any suggestions on how to properly train a puppy to go to the bathroom out side??
