After when my dog died Honey that was like August 30th, 2020 and my dad found Penelope on the internet for me when me and my mom took Honey to be cremated. As I was putting on clean bed sheets I heard my mom that we didn't need another dog. Penelope is a Liver Shih Tzu but what if Penelope gets old and I end up all sad and heartbroken and soon enough that I want another dog so I won't be so very heartbroken 💔 HOW CAN MY MOM SAY THAT?! If I heard here from my bedroom. I'm a dog person but I always wanted a Ferret but I don't know if my mom and dad want me to have one. Or a lizard 🦎 Any suggestions guys? Please? NOTE we still have Penelope but when she gets old and goes to Heaven. Then my parents will probably won't let me get another dog because they are a lot of work.

Look at that cute face. And yes her face is a mess because she just ate caned food. |

If you want a low maintenance pet a snail is Uber easy to take care of! Ferrets stink but are adorable and very entertaining and energetic. Snakes are awesome and if you aren't squirmish around bugs, mice, or snakes you should totally get one! Hamsters are sometimes energetic, sometimes very sleepy. They aren't to high maintenance but do require more attention then snakes or snails. I personally love spaniels, they all are pretty energetic and can come in various different sizes. All are very willing to please. Um lizards and turtles are pretty cool. They all have VERY different needs and personalities, just like any animal. I don't know to much about lizards and turtles but yah, that's mer guide. Pm me if you want to know more! |

A long time ago I had a Bearded Dragon but after that our next door neighbor's son wanted it so we gave Spike away. And Spike has a Bearded dragon girlfriend. Huh I've never thought of having a snail as a pet. I'll PM you to lean more Silver. |

Bunnies are great I breed Netherland Dwarfs and Holland Lops, and they are lovely Make sure to get one from a responsible breeder, and that the bun is litter box trained. We also have 4 mixed breed siblings (all spayed/neutered). They are super sweet (took me about 2 weeks for them to get to like me, I can pick all of them up now easily). I believe they are Rex x Californian crosses. Not entirely sure (they are meat breed bunnies, but they are pets, not rabbits that we eat). |

Also, Im not entirely sure from your post if you own Penelope yet or not, and I understand that you want another dog, but if people in your family (especially your parents) dont want a dog, than its best not to get the dog. Its not right to bring an animal into your life and then dump them, and if a few months in your mom says 'nope' to the dog, its not fair for Penelope. |

I suggest a Uromastyx. They are an extremely easy lizard to take care of. (I have one myself). They eat lettuce and other plants, and fruits. Like blueberries, blackberries, etc. . They don't love the attention, but normally they do appreciate it. . They can be a bit pricey, but i'd say it's definitely worth it. |

I agree with Evermore, you shouldn't get a dog without your parent's consent. The dog doesn't deserve that.
--- If you already have Penelope and you are just panicked because she's getting older and your mom doesn't want another dog, ask her why. If its because they shed, get a hypoallergenic breed like a West Highland White Terrier. If they bark a lot, get a breed that rarely barks. If its because they are expensive then get one from the pound. If its because they have too many health issues, get a mix. Just ask her why not another dog and then research to find a solution to your mom's displeasure with this species. Put the work into this because it shows that you are responsable enough to take care of this animal. It also shows that you really, really want this and you've devoted your time and energy. Train Penelope to do more than just the simpel sit, stay, down, heel. Have her go through hoops if she can handle that. Train her in agility even. Show that you are responsable for another one and that you truly do love them. Words won't cut it, actions will. ---
If all that fails, wait a couple days or weeks so you don't come off as whiny. Then ask if they'd let you have a ferret but only after researching the species. Ferrets are very needy creatures. If you see that they aren't for you because your schedule won't fit or your parents say no, then wait some more then ask for a lizard but only after researching the breed you want and their needs. --- Still no? Ask again the question of 'why?' but know that sometimes you just have to roll with your parent's choices. Sometimes you win other times you loose. Sometimes you just have to accept that. Think about the affect of loss of this dog might cause to your family. Some people heal faster than others. Try to be consinderate about others. |

We still have Penelope and we are going to keep her but when she gets old and passes then my parents probably won't let me get another dog. I'll edit my post to make more sense. Oof |
