My dad said no more dogs but one of my cousins convinced me to just get one and stop doing everything my pops says. Should I get one?

It’s been two years since my dog I’ve had since I was 10 passed away and I didn’t want another dog. She was 16 years old so she died of old age. So I still live with my dad and he said no more dogs. I really want to get another one but my cousin said, “So just get one.”
I told him, “Well I gotta follow my dads rules since it’s his house. He said no more dogs and -“ he cut me off and said, “Blah blah blah! Dad said this, dad said that. JUST GET ONE. It’s your house too and you’re an adult. You don’t need daddy’s permission and you don’t have to do EVERYTHING says. Be a WOMAN. What kind of dog do you dream to have?
Do you think he has a point? Most of my peers have been saying that to me saying that I need to be a woman and I don’t need my dads permission or wait for him. I’m an adult so I can do what I want to do. Be my own person.
I can’t afford to move out but I do have a job.

I understand you still live under your dads roof and to respect his rules but your cousin has a point. You’re adult, don’t wait around for your dad and stop running to him for your problems and woman up! Just get a dog! Who cares if he doesn’t like it? You gotta bend the rules sometimes. You can’t be a follower. Your cousin is right, be your own damn person! Be an adult and stop waiting. Go after for what you want. If you pay the bills too, then you should go get one! Stop doing everything he does and be your own fucking person! Do it.

Get a dog and go and live with your cousin, that'll teach your dad. Haha he won't come back from that one!
Sincerely yours
A dad who's had this shit pulled on him.
You ARE an adult, so please don't take the patronizing advice that follows in the wrong context:

Make your own decisions and do what you feel like doing as far as your relationship with your dad and your own living situation.

But please, don't put an innocent dog in jeapordy. He or she is an innocent and shouldn't suffer because of your bad choices or your father's.

Just my humble dog loving advice.

Don’t break the rules. You don’t want your dad to bet angry. Don’t listen to everyone else. You do what you want but follow the rules.

No, if you can’t support yourself, you have no business getting a pet
