I have my own income thank-you-very-much.
But I don't want my parents to get mad at me for buying a dog since I respect them.
Buttttt, the only reason they don't want me to get one is because my mom's died of cancer and it was hard on her and my dad's was kidnapped. So they are "traumatized" in a way. I think that if I were just to walk in to the house one day with a dog, they'd be mad at first, but then they'd grow to like it easily.
But this is not the issue now! I need to know what to ask the people. Please stay on topic. /mini-mod
