I rent a 4 bedroom house with my boyfriend and his cousin. We all split the bills equally (It's really not much because we're renting from their grandparents). My boyfriend's cousin, Ashley, brought a cat into the house. We all love the cat, but I kind of feel left out because when I moved in I begged and pleaded to bring my cats with (I moved states, so it's hard to see them at my mom's). I have been looking around and pets at shelters, just to see if I could find another pet that I could really call mine again (My cats are getting too old to take anywhere). I found the most amazing and relaxed puggle. I've convinced my boyfriend to go take a look at him because I'm sure as soon as he sees Chris (the puggle) he will fall in love with him! But, I would never bring a pet into the house with as least having everyone's input on the situation. I just want some ideas of how I could bring it up to Ashley. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want another pet in the house, but she's never home any more. She's always staying at her boyfriend's place. I just really found a dog that I love and he's perfect for our lifestyle. Any advise in convincing her to say yes?
