Can we convince her mum?

Question

Hi, I'm Leah, Amber's 14yr old sister.

Its my best friends birthday on Friday &we were planning on getting her a puppy! We had one lined up and everything, but dissapointingly, her mother said no. As their family pet died about 6-10 mnths ago, she isnt "ready". We have NO other ideas and feel so sorry for this little puppy.

If we can, do you have any ideas on how we can subtly convince her? Our friend would love it.

Amber said we could try calling up and asking her mum if she has any ideas "as we are completely stuck, the only idea we had was the Papillon Maltese puppy." and she might come around. - Its worth a try. &we need other ideas anyway.

Please help!

PS - I respect their decision, i know its so much more than a present, but we may as well try and convince her.

Answer 1

When I was about 10 my friend's dog had puppies and I wanted one so so badly but my mum kept saying no. I tried so hard to convince her and she still hadn't agreed by the time the puppies were old enough for their new homes.

I just picked the one I wanted and took it to "visit" my mum.

It never went back... LOL... once mum saw how cute it was she couldn't say no

Answer 2

Don't give a puppy as a gift. They cannot be returned if the recipient gets tired of the gift.

Answer 3

boohoo

Answer 4

sorry leah.... but ... one should never give pets as presents ( i learnt the hard way).. because it is such a huge responsibility to give somebody and one that is an ongoing cost ... at the moment some people are struggling finacially and perhaps that is one of your friend's mum's issues...

Your heart was in the right place... but it is your friend's mum's decision...
