an update on clown baby

he's been ripped from my fingers due to the evil dictator of the CCA.
really, i just asked if i could keep him and the manager said no.
I'm crafting a strongly worded letter that will go over the following talking points:

• I've been crying off and on for three days straight
• I'm VERY attached to him
• he's been neutered; no "spraying" will occur
• I'll pay an increased security deposit asap
• I'll consider paying more per month and increasing my lease
• I've been crying a lot
• pending the decision, "we" may have to make a decision about what to do when the remaining four months of our lease is up.
• the crying was about three solid days of puffy eyes and running noses.

I don't know if this is going to work. I plan on googling "how to get what you want" or something along the lines of writing a persuasive letter. And, so, hopefully, they'll reconsider.

Its a lesson in sometimes you have to ask for what you want. And, sometimes, if the first answer is no, you have to ask a little more. And, then, if they still say no, you move.

Invaluable lesson, that one.
