Hello!
I just wanted to give everybody an update!
My mom actually agreed to get a dog--one HUGE step forward. She really liked a little maltipoo that came into the rescue (don't worry, this is a legitimate rescue and the pup came from a BYB)....unfortunately, that dream was crushed when someone we know decided to tell my mom all the bad things about dogs!
That someone, who recently just got her own puppy a week ago, told my mom that her puppy was running around the house pooping everywhere and that she had to spend $50 on a crate and that her puppy was gnawing and biting on everything. Unfortunately, we are now 10 steps back to where we started now.
