User: Can I PLEASE get a dog?
Assistant: Hi! After being a tenant for nearly 7 years, I've decided I'd like to get a dog. I know we had talked in the past that I would first need to have a proven track record of taking care of the property before you would consider a dog, and I've shown that after this time. I would love to get a small dog. The companionship of a pet would be wonderful, and with it being small, there is much less concern for damage to the property. I'm also happy to sign something that says I will be responsible should any damage occur, although I am confident I can keep that from happening. Please consider this request and let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you!
