Puppies/Dogs

[lovehatetragedy]

Well what a bank holiday.......
Got up early and had breakfast with my granny then my parents surprised me by taking me to the puppies kennels then onto the dogs home. But surprise surprise we didnt get a dog. Im feeling resentful and upset now.
My mum said i could buy my own puppy, as long as i kept it to a smallish breed like a westie or basset hound. when i got to the kennels all the puppies are 400 - 550 quid!!
When we went to the local dogs home ( dogs are 70 - 150 quid) my mum saw a dos like our old one and started crying. she`s decided we shouldn`t go through with all the upset and emotional stuff of getting another dog then it dying in a few years again.
Ive longed for another dog since our Sam died three years ago.
Anyone else like this? Or knows how i can deal with it? I know deep down my mum and dad want another dog. I just cant seem to persuade them, although i suppose going to the kennels / dogs home is a step forwards.

News on the puppy situation!!!!

My parents have agreed that i can have a westie puppy in June when they return from their holidays. Im so excited now! I wouldn`t have picked a westie myself but i have to be grateful as i guess its better than no dog at all. I dont think i can wait till June!
Not going to get it from the expensive kennels. We are going to try to find a local breeder and keep our eyes peeled in the local papers. Mum wants to call him DILLON, ERIC or GEORGE. What do you all think? Personally i prefer Dillon. Hope your all ok. xxxxx

Aawwww what a coincidence.
I cant wait to get him. Gonna try to call the breeders in the next week or too to see when a litter will be ready.
