do yall have the same problem listen to this... there is a lot of hunting stuff that i want and i am willing to pay for with my own money but lets face it some things you just cant buy on your own.... i want to ask my parents for a new dog, and again i will pay for it i just need their okay but i know what they will say "you already have a dog your not getting another one" the dog i have is a golden retriver and is so fat its not even funny it weigh almost 160...no joke but this is not just a dog i mean there is a lot of stuff out there that teens (under 18) cant buy and PARENTS JUST DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give us a chance sometimes!!!!!!!!

Yeah that is always hard to do sometimes. If you cant do it right now its ok. There is plently of dogs out there and you have your whole life to get another one. I am guessing maybe your 'rents are stressed out for the time being and cant afford another dog right now. Just a guess of course,

hey, my parents are like that, and i wanted a .22 for
christmas and they didnt get me it and so i was goin to
buy one instead, but my grandmaw got me a Marlin and
maid my day
lifes short hunt hard

put your retriever on a diet

My parents are like that, I told my parents I wantes a Parker Challenger, but I have to make the MONEY it is $400.

Yeah, that's my parents. I pay for ALL my hunting/sports equipment, etc. etc. and mom/dad won't pay for it..........except they bought me a $65 bow press for my b-day/christmas. I know they aren't gonna change their minds, so I just work my butt off all summer and cut firewood in the winter to pay for it all, and all the money I make working for someone else, I have to give half of it to mom to "pay back what they've given me in raising me" I don't buy it, but I'm stuck with it until i'm 21[X(]

Grant - your stuck with it till your 18...then your an adult and can do whatever the heck ya wnat[]

PA, then I'll have to pay for my own house, and everything!!!!!
