My-petsss

Hi !
What's up ? Do you have pets too?? I want a dog but my mother says that I am not old enough for a dog because it is a big responsibility ! But I'm 13 !!!! Please tell me what to do!! I want to get a puppy from a shelter but they told me that shelter puppies are difficult to a person who had never had a dog before... So I think the best one is the Golden Retriver!! But they are too big for a flat... Maybe a beagle !! :-) They are not so big and they don't need a lot of grooming.. What do you think ??
