I don't understand why in the world you would put a deposit on another dog ? It's your mothers house , period! She already has trouble with the expense of 1 pup and the peeing on the carpet. Like others said rent is only 1 expense of moving out. Car Ins, car payments, gas, health Ins, food, clothes, dr's appts, dentist, electric bills, heat, phone , school supplies, dog food, vet bills, shampoo, make up, going out with friends , laundry, the list goes on and on. I guess you can tell I am a mom too. My son is 22 and still lives at home and doesn't pay rent. Time for a reality check for him too ! Sorry to sound like a old grumpy woman , but all I can say as you will understand where your mom is coming from when you get older. College is a huge expense for a parent and then they are going to pay your rent too. Also replacing carpet in the home is expensive, thousands! Stick with your 1 darling puppy and wait until you are on your own and college is over. |
