I want a small dog SO BADLY please help me!

For a long time I have reeeeally wanted a small dog, but in the past few months I have become desperate. My mom is totally on board but my dad says absolutely not... we already have two dogs, both lab mixes, but they only really like my dad and they tolerate everyone else. In the last 2 months my mom and I have found SEVEN small 迷失 dogs. SEVEN. Two of which stayed at our house overnight before we found their owners and I cried when we found their owners... a lot... The first one that stayed at our house wasn't potty trained at all so for the 日 we had it I was potty and 箱, 板条箱 training it and making good progress.

I really desperately want a small dog, I want a 波美拉尼亚, 博美犬 most but I would be good with any sweet lil dog. I have 700 dollars of money I have saved up so I could afford to adopt a dog with a few hundred to spare. We don't even have to worry about walking it, we have a fenced in yard. I am homeschooled so I am there all 日 to take care of it, my 老友记 grandmas 奇瓦瓦, 奇瓦瓦州 died and I ended up with all of all of the dog supplies the lady had because she couldn't bare to see it. I have all of the stuff for the dog, the willingness to take care of it, the money to buy it, only 食物 and vet bills would have to be covered 由 my parents and I would gladly chip in any money I have.

That being 说 my dad is being forced to retire from the military in the fall and one of his reasons he doesn't want to get another dog is that. We aren't exactly living pay check to pay check, and we have money in the bank and we live in an area with a lot of available jobs so my dad won't be unemployed for too long and no matter what happens he still has retirement pay. He says that we already have 狗 and that I don't need a little dog. I desperately want one. I dream almost every night of either getting 或者 almost getting a little dog. I am constantly thinking of it and I can't focus. I am OBSESSED! Every time I try to do my homework I find myself on petfinder. I keep a

Just so 你 know I am 14, which is too young to volunteer at any animal shelters in my area so that isn't even an option... :(

Oh and this isn't just a 小狗 phase 或者 something that is on a whim. I have wanted a little dog for a long time and I do know what it is like living with one. My grandparents got a cockapoo from a friend whose wife couldn't stand dogs. They got him a little while before I came to visit them last summer and I ADORED him. I don't know why but I really perfer small dogs. I guess it is that 你 can hold them and 你 can easily take them with 你 to places. Sadly my grandparents live over 2,000 miles away so I can't exactly visit the dog on the weekends...
