Candace LOL! You're cracking me up! You were WICKED! Love it. I was just as bad!
I just begged and begged till they were sick of me whining! Worked for me. I used to make little cardboard pretend cages, fill them with shavings, a little house and food bowl... put it on my bookshelves just so they would see it every time they came in my room! Until I actually had one I just pretended to have one! (I was only 10!) They saw how crazy I was for wanting one so they ended up giving in! Things we'll do......
