My mom always says that I am a lucky child and that I should be happy with what I have and that is true. But in this case no, Because I really want a dog and I can’t get one.
Meanwhile, one Sunday I was in the car with my mom. She had just told me that my friend got a new mini Golden Doodle. I saw a picture of her and I was so jealous. She was so fluffy, small, cute and she was a hazelnut color with a tiny white spot on her chest. Why can’t I just get a dog because they are so cute and fluffy like clouds! I know it is not nice to be jealous, but I really want a dog! So, I kept on being upset with my mom for what felt like hours. I could not stop.
We were almost home. “I NEED A DOG!” I kept begging then asking, “Can we get a dog?” Then she would answer something like
“No, sorry.” She knows that dogs are messy and they are basically animals in your house, but seriously what about a non-shedding dog. Plus, almost everybody has them, so even if they are animals they are family animals. Ugh!
After that I would add, “Pretty please, with a cherry on top.”
When we got home, I was still so upset. ugh why won't my mom understand that I can handle responsibility. My heart was heavy with sorrow. I kept on feeling so upset and jealous on the inside and I couldn’t take it much longer, but whatever. But I had to deal with not getting a dog Because it’s not my house, it's my parents.
Then a couple days later, I thought hard about it and tried to understand why my mom doesn’t want a dog and how much work it is. So now I guess I am fine, but my biggest wish is still that I really wish for a dog.
