As crazy as it sounds, Christmas is almost here and it’s time
for parents to make final decisions on what to get their kids. I usually don’t
make Christmas lists for what I want because whenever I sit down and think of
everything I would like to have, my mind goes blank. It’s as if I’ve never
asked for a single present my entire life. And I’ll be the first to admit that
that isn’t true. But this year, I finally sat down and made a list of some things
that I would like to have.
All I want for
Christmas… the first thing I wrote down was a puppy; more specifically, a
silver lab. I have been pushing my parents to let us get a puppy for quite some
time now and although I am pretty confident I won’t get one, it’s definitely
worth writing down just in case they change their minds!
1. They are adorable! How can
you say no to a face like that?
2. You have something to entertain you when you
get bored! Your friends can’t always hang out and if you had
a puppy you would never be lonely.
3. Why not get a puppy? Did I mention
how cute they are? Why would you not want one?
Reasons my parents won’t let me
get a puppy:
1. Who is going to take care of it? They
think that we are never home and wouldn’t have time to take care of it. I say
make time! They made time to take care of me and my sister, what’s one more
thing?
2. Who is going to walk it and take it outside
to go to the bathroom in the winter?
They know me too well. I’m not a huge fan of the cold. My solution: make
my sister or dad do it. And you can always just put it on a leash to go to the
bathroom so you don’t have to wait outside.
3. They are expensive. Food and
toys and visits to the vet can get expensive. But whatever. Worth it.
So my
parents definitely have some solid points. But I don’t care. I still want a
puppy for Christmas.
