i'm actually sobbing
my friend's dog is having puppies and she said she'd give me one for free
i just told my mom and she starts saying no and that i cant adopt one
she cant keep all the puppies and they will have to be sent to the pound
i just cant i've been wanting a puppy for so long and she always says no
i told her what type of puppies they are (doberman pitbull mix) and she gives
me a disgusted look and says 'no way' and starts saying how they are bad dogs
and it really hurt me because they are misunderstood
she'll never let me get a puppy
i wish she was more like my dad
my dad wants me to get a puppy but my mom is always
trying to tell him no and ugh its so annoying
i told my mom when my dad gets his new house and she said
'your dad will never find a house, he''ll probably move out a few days after like he always does'
it offended me so much that she said that about him and its just hurts
wow, i just can't wait till those puppies get sent to a pound
and i knew i lost another chance at getting a puppy as a
freaking birthday gift.
she wanted to give it to me as a present since my bday is in 2 days but nope
she just has to ruin it all again
edit; i just told her how i felt and she's making me cry even more because she starts making fun of the puppies
and saying that she cant afford them and trying to guilt trip me by saying how her scar on her nose from a puppy bite changed her forever and how she just wants a small dog
but i'm a big dog person and she needs to stop thinking all of them are bad
and she keeps saying how pitbulls are sketchy but i love them so much and she's hirting me
i just want a puppy to take care of and love
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. Its your Mom's decision and she doesn't want a big dog. At least she is open to small dogs, I know you like big dogs but if you want one you're going to have to compromise. A Doberman/pitbull mix is not a good idea for a first time dog owner either, with the stigma they need to be especially well trained and Dobermans are naturally guard dogs. I know it's sad that they're going to a shelter, but they really should have fixed their dogs so they wouldn't have that problem in the first place.
we aren't a first time owner, i've owner 4 labs, 2 pitbulls, and i now have a mastiff. i've lived with 2 guard dogs in my life, so i know how it is to train them (it is difficult lol)
me and her sorted it out an i apologized. she said sorry as well, and she actually does really want to buy me a dog, but we just have no room.
@person who replied above
i've never been against big dogs. people may be terrified of them and call them killers,
but it all depends on the owner and how you train. my mom has common sense and she is a very good person.
shes always liked little dogs more, but i personally hate small dogs (i've been bitten and 'attacked' by 3 lol)
i've never had a problem with them, whenever i'm around they are always affectionate towards me and stuff
i just really want to adopt all those big puppies out there who are sent away because their owners think they are killers ;-;
one day i'm becoming a zoologist and i can adopt as many dogs as i want. it may be a while, but i'm willing to wait.
thank you guys for the advice, though its really done and over. i wont be getting
a puppy for a while and now thats its sorted out, i'm fine. c;
