In reply to the discussion: I'm fucked. My wife let our daugther get a fucking dog. [View all]Lilyhoney
(1,987 posts)22. Animal shelters want permission from landlords.
The two animals I brought home from the shelter needed to be approved by my landlord. The shelters needed verbal or written permission.
This might be a way out of getting the animal. I assume the animal is coming from a shelter.
Or you could just say no.
If the animal is not coming from a shelter the expense will be greater. You could make an itemized list of the first three years of expenses the animal incur that she will be responsible for.
You could show her what happens to animals that were only wanted for a short period of time.
There are a lot of things you can do to prevent this from happening. Or you can just complain about it here and be a victim. The choice is yours. Don't let this happen to you if you don't want it.
Sorry.

It's a Carolina Dog. They beat Dallas by a few points, so I may be a bit pissed by that...
