Don't even ask
It was about 10 years. Of course, I didn't beg and cry all the time
My mum said "All right, but only a poodle!" So I went to bring a poodle and I returned with a spaniel
I guess a poodle would be a better choice (I mean the character) but never mind now. Finally, when I could move to my own flat, I bought the second dog becasue I could finally decide for my own.
