I currently own a 4 year old pit bull. She was a rescue dog. She was badly abused a while back and my mom let me take her in. My mom said I could only have her if I kept her as an outside dog. Now about two years later, the pups my best friend and she is taken care of and spoiled rotten by me. I am almost 15 so I am always on the go with Cheerleading, horse back riding, and school. When I get home from either cheer or riding, it's dark out side and I can never play with my dog and I feel terrible. I live with my grandparents my mom and my sister and I have recently mentioned moving Layla ( my pup) inside with me once In a couple weeks when I get home from vacation. Well I can say it didn't go as I planned it... I asked them and I listed all the pros and cons and told them I would take full responsibility like I do with my sulcata and that she would have all of her stuff in my room so the other dog won't get her food and she would have a bed in my room and I would pick up after her and potty train her. I have recently started baby sitting so I have a little extra money and I told them if she ruins anything I would replace ( thank goodness she doesn't chew much!) but everytime I mention it I feel like they come up with useless excuses. Like for example, were putting in new wood flooring, they worry she will scratch it but I found these little caps that go on their bails so they can't. And then they come up with more. I guess long story short, what do y'all think I should do to convince them? I am responsible and I love Layla I want to spend as much time as possible with her and I think it would be good for both of us if she was inside. Thanks in advance for all suggestions and I must say ALL suggestions are welcome.
