i like it!
i know how you feel... well did... dont mean to rubb it in your face... but i got my first pet (dog) when i was six. he is a boxer named oden. he is old, and he almost died of old age this winter, but just as you think its all over, hes up and running again! he is fun and playfull. hers a pic---
https://mail-attachment.googleuserconte ... c&sadssc=1 he is actually verry tall for a boxer.
i also have another dog, a shih tzu. she is also fun.
sorry if im rubbing this in your face... i couldnt help but tell about him.
if your moms alergic to dogs, get a chinese crested, it is usually the fur your alergic to, not the dog.
if its the shedding, get a dog that doesnt shed, poodle, shih tzu, and i dont think bull dogs shed (i dnt know about bull dogs)
if it is there too big, get a dog that doesnt grow so big
if too messy, get a lap dog,
of course, you cant leave spacific breeds of dogs alone, so before you get one, do reserch, and look for a dog that fits you. if youur gone a lot, and you have a dog that needs attention, get a freind for him/her. doessnt have to be another dog, but can be a simple cat, one that can stand dogs.
do your reserch, and find a dog that your mother would like, did you know dogs can help kids become more active and outdoorsy? they also can help with getting and staying fit, if yoou care for the dog properly. puppies can be messy, but you need to train them, and as they grow older, they will behave.
hope this helped!
