Taylor's+Persuasive+Letter

December 7, 2009 Dear Mom, I truly think that I should get a puppy. I think this because I've always loved dogs and I want a puppy to be able to call my own. Our last dog, Chopper, isn't really my dog because I was to little to be able to train and call my own. But if I get a puppy I Will be able to call it my own because I have grown up enough to train an care for a puppy to call it my own.

I know that you think you will end up being the one to train it and that it will become just your dog again but I WILL take the time to train the puppy so that it will be the cutest, most well trained puppy ever. (with some help though, but mostly me.) I also understand, that you think I don't have enough responsibility to take care of a puppy. But, as you know that I take care of a 4 year old brother and I have been his babysitter before. For example, memo always asks me to give him a bath and give him a nap and I always end up doing a great job. If I can take care of an ornery and crazy for year old brother I'm sure I can take care of a puppy.Also, I think that I am very trust worthy responsible 6th grader. Not to mention, all of the valuable things I have gotten have never been broken, lost, or left somewhere. Last but not least, I understand that you think that I don't have the time to take care of a puppy but, I vow to use my free time to play, train, care for, and love a puppy. For example, I will get use my time after I finish all my chores to play with the puppy and everything else that it needs. Also, I will get up in the night to let the puppy go outside and I will take it outside in the morning before I go to school and if I need to get up 10 or 20 minutes earlier I will.

Mom, I think you are the greatest mom in the world! I know that I can always depend on you. Also, thank you for taking a lot of thought about getting a puppy for me. I believe, that out of the whole world, you are one of the top best moms in the world. You are a loving person, Mom! You are a sweet and considerate person and a dog lover! Love, Taylor Shea
