Dear Sons,
Why do we keep having the same conversation when the outcome is not going to change. I thought I should put in writing all the reasons we will not be getting a dog right now.
1. Our kind friends who have let us rent their beautiful home this year have asked us not to have pets.
2. We are about to make another international move. Did you know it can cost close to $1,000 to fly a pet half way across the world.
3. You do not clean up after yourselves, who would clean up after a dog?
4. I fear you would quickly get bored with the dog, just like you do with any new toy.
And, the most important reason:
5. You keep forgetting your sister is allergic to dogs! I know you have asked if she can go to college early, but it is a bit soon considering she is eleven.
Sincerely, Mom
