No, I am the father and I run this establishment you call a home. Ever since your mother and I had a divorce, I've had to pay child support and alimony. I have also had to help that slut of a mother out of debt, and pay to help with her drug habits. The economy is down and I have been laid off. We can not afford a dog, let alone the fact you would only see it on the weekends while I clean it's piss out of the carpet. If you want a dog go play with your mother.
