What exactly do you mean by this?
As for the part time job, I'll go often, but there are laws. You can only work for a few hours if you are as young as I am- something about child labor or whatever. I will make money, but it's not like I'm going to be gone all day. If school ends at 4, and I work 2-3 hours, I will be home about 6. Not unlike an adult with a regular job. There will be plenty of time, especially counting the weekends (and the summer for quite a few years), to spend with my dog.

Maybe I am old fashioned, but i feel like when you make a committment to getting a dog or cat it is for their whole life. I feel like too many people get pets and then when money is tight, or they get sick, or need special behavioral training or special care, they are dumped... and it just makes me sad for the animals.

I don't know if I should be insulted. I would never take an animal into my heart and my life just to rehome them, disown them to the pound, or abandon them. I may be young but I'm not dumb, I know that animals are for life. I don't want a dog because they're cute, or because they grab attention, although those are great things, too. I want one as a companion, a friend, someone to play with, someone to get excercise with, and to love. I want someone who will love me unconditionally, and look past all my faults, as long as there's food to eat. I want someone to run with, to get tired with, and to fall asleep with. And most importantly, someone to grow up with.
